< Numbers 5 >

1 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,
2 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘You must send away from your (camp/area where you have your tents) any man or woman who has leprosy and anyone who has a discharge [of some fluid from his body], and anyone who has become unacceptable to God because of [having touched] a corpse.
“छालाको सरुवा रोग भएका सबै, धातुको रोग भएका सबै, लास छोएर अशुद्ध भएका सबैलाई छाउनी बाहिर पठाउन इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई आज्ञा दे ।
3 Send them away from there in order that they will not [touch people in the camp area] where I live among you and cause them to become unacceptable to me.’”
पुरुष होस् वा महिला, तैँले तिनीहरूलाई छाउनी बाहिर पठाउनुपर्छ । तिनीहरूले छाउनीलाई अशुद्ध तुल्याउनुहुँदैन, किनभने म यसमा बास गर्छु ।”
4 So [Moses/I told that to the Israeli people, and] the Israeli people obeyed what Yahweh commanded Moses/me.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले यसै गरे । परमप्रभुले मोशाद्वारा आज्ञा गर्नुभएअनुसार तिनीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई छाउनी बाहिर पठाए । फेरि
5 Yahweh also told Moses/me,
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,
6 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If someone (commits a crime against/does something wrong to) another person, [I consider that] that person has done wrong to me.
“इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई भन् । जब पुरुष वा महिलाले मानिसहरूले आपसमा गर्ने यस्ता कुनै पाप गर्छन् र मप्रति बेइमान हुन्छ, त्यो व्यक्‍ति दोषी हुन्छ ।
7 That person must confess that he or she is guilty, and he or she must pay to the person to whom wrong was done [what others consider to be a suitable/proper payment] for what he has done, and he must pay an extra 20 percent.
त्यसपछि त्यसले आफूले गरेको पाप स्वीकार गर्नुपर्छ । त्यसले आफू चुकेको मूल्य चुक्‍ता गर्नुपर्छ र पाँचौँ हिस्सा थप्‍नुपर्छ । यो त्यसले आघात पुर्‍याएको व्यक्‍तिकहाँ ल्याउनुपर्छ ।
8 If the person against whom the wrong was done [has died and] there is no relative to whom the money can be paid, then the money belongs to me, and it must be paid to the priest. In addition, the one who did the wrong must give a male sheep to the priest [to sacrifice] in order that (that person’s sin may be forgiven/I can forgive that person for his sin).
तर यदि अपमानमा परेको व्यक्‍तिको कुनै नजिकको नातेदार छैन भने, त्यसले आफ्नो प्रायश्‍चित्तको निम्ति एउटा थुमासँगै त्यसको दोषको निम्ति पुजारीद्वारा मूल्य मलाई तिर्नुपर्छ ।
9 All the sacred offerings that the Israelis bring to the priest belong to the priest.
इस्राएलका मानिहरूका सबै भेटी र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले पुजारीलाई ल्याएका र अलग गरेका थोकहरू त्यसको हुनेछ ।
10 The priest can keep those gifts.’”
हरेक व्यक्तिका भेटीहरू पुजारीको निम्ति हुनेछ; यदि कसैले पुजारीलाई कुनै थोक दिन्छ भने, यो त्यसको हुनेछ ।”
11 Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
फेरि, परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,
12 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘Suppose a man thinks that his wife has slept with another man,
“इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई भन् । 'कुनै मानिसकी पत्‍नी बहकिन्छे र आफ्नो पतिको विरुद्ध पाप गर्छे ।
13 but neither he nor anyone else knows if it is true or not, because no one saw her doing that.
त्यसपछि अर्को पुरुष त्यससँग सुत्छे । त्यस अवस्थामा त्यो अशुद्ध हुन्छे ।
14 But if the woman’s husband is jealous, and if he suspects that she has committed adultery, and he wants to know whether that is true or not,
त्यसका पतिले यो नदेखे तापनि वा थाहा नै नपाए तापनि र त्यो कार्य गर्दा कसैले नपक्रे तापनि र त्यसको विरुद्ध कोही नभए तापनि, त्यसकी पत्‍नी अशुद्ध भएकी छे भन्‍ने डाहको आत्माले थाहा देला । तथापि पत्‍नी अशुद्ध नभएको हुँदा पनि डाहको गलत विचार आउन सक्ला ।
15 he should take his wife to the priest. He must take along as an offering two quarts/liters of barley flour. The priest must not pour [olive] oil or incense on it, because this is an offering that the man has brought because he (is jealous/wants his wife to sleep only with him). It is an offering to find out if she is guilty or not. [Neither olive oil nor incense should be used because are associated with joy and this is not a time for joy.]
यस अवस्थामा त्यो मानिसले आफ्नी पत्‍नीलाई पुजारीकहाँ ल्याउनुपर्छ । पतिले त्यसको तर्फबाट आवश्यक पर्ने बलिदान अर्थात् आधा पाथी जौको पिठो ल्याउनुपर्छ । उसले यसमा तेल हाल्नुहुँदैन र कुनै सुगन्धित मसला हाल्नुहुँदैन, किनभने यो डाहको अन्‍नबलि अर्थात् अपराध याद दिलाउनेको चढाइएको अन्‍नबलि हो ।
16 The priest must tell the woman to stand [in front of the altar] in my presence.
पुजारीले त्यस स्‍त्रीलाई नजिक ल्याउनुपर्छ र त्यसलाई परमप्रभुको सामु राख्‍नुपर्छ ।
17 He must put some sacred water in a clay jar, and then he must put some dirt from the floor of the Sacred Tent into the water.
पुजारीले पवित्र पानीको भाँडो लिनुपर्छ र पवित्र वासस्थानको भुइँबाट धूलो लिनुपर्छ । त्यसले त्यो धूलोलाई त्यो पानीमा हाल्नुपर्छ ।
18 He must untie/unfasten the woman’s hair. Then he must put in her hands the grain that her jealous husband is offering to determine whether she has committed adultery or not. The priest must hold [the bowl that contains] bitter water that will cause (the woman to be cursed/bad things to happen to the woman) [if she is guilty].
पुजारीले त्यो महिलालाई परमप्रभुको सामु खडा गर्नेछ र त्यसले त्यो महिलाका कपाल फुलाइदिनेछ । त्यसले त्यो सम्झनाको अन्‍नबलिलाई त्यसको हातमा राख्‍नेछ, जुन सन्देहको अन्‍नबलि हो ।
19 The priest must require her to solemnly declare [that she will tell the truth]. Then he must say to her, “Has another man had sex [EUP] with you? Have you faithfully [slept only with your husband] or not? If you have not slept with another man, nothing bad will happen to you if you drink the water.
पुजारीले श्राप ल्याउन सक्‍ने तितो पानीलाई त्यसको हातमा राख्‍नेछ । पुजारीले त्यस महिलालाई शपथ खान लगाओस् र त्यसलाई यसो भनोस्, 'यदि अरू कुनै पुरुषले तँसँग यौन सम्बन्ध राखेको छैन भने र यदि तँ बरालिएर गएको छैनस् र अपराध गरेको छैन भने, तँ श्राप ल्याउने यो तितो पानीबाट मुक्‍त हुनेछस् ।
20 But if you have had sex with another man, [Yahweh will curse you].
तर यदि पतिको अधीनमा भएकी तँ बरालिएकी छस्, यदि तँ अशुद्ध भएकी छस् र यदि अरू कुनै पुरुष तँसँग सुतेको छ भने,
21 Your womb will shrivel up and your stomach will swell up. You will never be able to give birth to children, and as a result, everyone will curse you and avoid you. If you have committed adultery, [when you drink] this water, that is what will happen to you.” Then the woman must answer, “[If I am guilty], I will not object if that happens.”
(पुजारीले त्यो महिलामाथि श्राप ल्याउन सक्‍ने शपथ खान लगाउनुपर्छ र त्यसले महिलालाई भनिरहोस्) 'परमप्रभुले तँलाई श्रापित तुल्याउनुभएको होस् जुन तेरा मानिसहरूलाई देखाइनेछ । यदि परप्रभुले तेरो जाँघ सुक्‍ने तुल्याउनुभयो र तेरो पेट सुनिने तुल्याउनुभयो भने, यसै होस् ।
श्राप ल्याउने यो पानी तेरो पेटभित्र जानेछ र तेरो पेट सुनिनेछ र तेरो जाँघ सुक्‍ने छ । त्यो महिलाले 'हो, म दोषी छु भने यस्तै होस्' भनी जवाफ दिनुपर्छ ।
23 ‘Then the priest must write [with ink] on a small scroll these (curses/bad things that will happen to her if she is guilty) [and then wash the ink off into the bitter water].
पुजारीले यी श्रापहरूलाई मुट्ठोमा लेख्‍नुपर्छ, र ती लेखिएका श्रापहरूलाई त्यो तितो पानीमा धुनुपर्छ ।
24 The priest must take from her the offering of barley flour [that she is holding], and lift it up to dedicate it to me. Then he must put it on the altar
पुजारीले श्राप ल्याउने त्यो तितो पानी त्यो महिलालाई पिउन लगाउनुपर्छ । त्यो पानी त्यसभित्र जाने छ र तितो तुल्याउनेछ ।
पुजारीले महिलाको हातबाट डाहको अन्‍नबलि लिनुपर्छ । उसले परप्रभुको सामु अन्‍नबलिलाई डोलाउनुपर्छ र यसलाई वेदीमा ल्याउनुपर्छ ।
26 and burn part of it as a sacrifice. Then the woman must drink the bitter water.
पुजारीले अन्‍नबलिबाट एक मुट्ठी लिएर यसलाई वेदीमा जलाउनुपर्छ । त्यसपछि त्यसले महिलालाई त्यो तितो पानी पिउन दिनुपर्छ ।
27 If the woman has committed adultery, the water will cause her to suffer greatly. Her stomach will swell up and her womb will shrink, [and she will be unable to give birth to children]. And then her (relatives/fellow Israelis) will curse her.
त्यसले त्यसलाई पानी पिउन दिँदा त्यसले आफ्नो पति विरुद्ध पाप गरेकोले यदि त्यो अशुद्ध भएकी छे भने, त्यो श्राप ल्याउने पानी त्यसभित्र जानेछ र तितो तुल्याउनेछ । त्यसको पेट फुलिनेछ र त्यसको जाँघ सुक्‍नेछ । त्यो महिला आफ्ना मानिसहरूबिच श्रापित हुनेछ ।
28 But if she (is innocent/has not committed adultery), her body will not be harmed, and she will still be able to give birth to children.
तर यदि महिला अशुद्ध भएकी छैन भने र त्यो शुद्ध छे भने, त्यो स्वतन्त्र हुने छे । त्यसले बालक जन्माउन सक्‍ने छे ।
29 ‘That is the ritual that must be performed when a woman who is married has been unfaithful to her husband,
डाहको नियम यही हो । आफ्नो पतिबाट बरालिने र अशुद्ध हुने महिलाको नियम यही हो ।
30 or when a man is jealous and suspects that his wife [has had sex with another man]. The priest must tell that woman to stand [at the altar] in my presence and obey these instructions.
आफ्नी पत्‍नीप्रति डाही हुँदा डाहको आत्मा भएको पुरुषको निम्ति नियम यही हो । उसले महिलालाई परमप्रभुको सामु ल्याउनुपर्छ र पुजारी डाहको व्यवस्थाले वर्णन गरेका सबै थोक गर्नुपर्छ ।
31 Even if the woman has not done what the husband suspected, he will not be punished [MTY] for doing something wrong [by bringing his wife to the priest]. But if his wife is guilty, she will suffer as a result.’”
पुरुष आफ्‍नी पत्‍नीलाई पुजारीकहाँ ल्याएको दोषबाट मुक्‍त हुनेछ । महिलाले त्यसको कुनै पनि दोष भोग्‍नुपर्छ ।”
