व्यवस्था 33

1 यो आफ्नो मृत्युअगि परमेश्‍वरका मानिस मोशाले इस्राएलीहरूलाई दिएको आशिष् हो ।

Before God’s prophet Moses died, he [asked God to] bless the Israeli people.

2 तिनले भनेः “परमप्रभु सीनैबाट आउनुभयो, र तिनीहरूमाथि सेइरबाट उदय हुनुभयो । उहाँ पारान पर्वतबाट चम्कनुभयो, र उहाँ दसौँ हजार पवित्र जनसित आउनुभयो । उहाँको दाहिने हातमा बिजुलीको प्रकाश थियो ।

This is what he said: “Yahweh came [and spoke] to us at Sinai [Mountain]; he [came like] [MET] the sun rises in the Edom [region] and like his light shone on us when we were [in the desert] near Paran Mountain [after we left Sinai Mountain]. He came with 10,000 angels, and there was a flaming fire at his right side.

3 वास्तवमा उहाँले मानिसहरूलाई प्रेम गर्नुहुन्छ । उहाँका सबै पवित्र जन उहाँको हातमा छन्, र तिनीहरूले तपाईंको पाउमा शिर निहुराउँछन् । तिनीहरूले तपाईंका वचनहरू प्राप्‍त गरे ।

Yahweh truly loves his people, and protects [MTY] all those who belong to him. So they prostrate themselves in front of him, and they listen to his instructions.

4 मोशाले हामीलाई व्यवस्था दिए, जुन याकूबको समुदायको सम्पत्ति हो ।

I gave them laws to obey, laws that would be the most precious thing that [the descendants of] Jacob owned.

5 तब मानिसका अगुवाहरू र इस्राएलका सबै कुल एकै ठाउँमा जम्मा हुँदा यशूरूनमा राजा हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।

So Yahweh became the king of his Israeli people when all the tribes and their leaders were gathered together.

6 रूबेन बाँचून्, र नमरून, तर तिनका मानिसहरू थोरै होऊन् ।

[I say this about the tribe of] Reuben: I desire/hope that their tribe will never disappear, but they will never become numerous.

7 यो यहूदाको निम्ति आशिष् हो । मोशाले भनेः हे परमप्रभु, यहूदाको सोर सुन्‍नुहोस्, र तिनलाई फेरि आफ्ना मानिसहरूकहाँ ल्याउनुहोस् । तिनको पक्षमा लड्नुहोस् । तिनका शत्रुहरूको विरुद्धमा सहायता बन्‍नुहोस् ।

“say this about [the tribe of] Judah: Yahweh, listen to them when they call out [for help]; and unite them with the other tribes again. Fight for them, and help them to fight against their enemies.

8 लेवीको विषयमा मोशाले भनेः तपाईंको तुम्मीम र तपाईंको ऊरीम तपाईंको राजकीय जनसित छ, जसलाई तपाईंले मस्साहमा जाँच्नुभयो, जोसित तपाईंले मेरीबाको पानीमा झगडा गर्नुभयो ।

I say this about [the tribe of] Levi: Yahweh, give to those who are dedicated to you the sacred stones [that they will use to find out what you want to be done]; You tested them at a spring in the desert, a spring that they named Massah and also named Meribah [to find out if they would (remain loyal to/continue to obey) you].

9 तिनले आफ्ना बुबा र आमाको विषयमा भने, “मैले उहाँहरूलाई देखेको छैनँ ।” न तिनले आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूलाई स्वीकर गरे, न त तिनले आफ्नै सन्तानको वास्ता गरे । किनकि तिनले तपाईंको वचनको रखवाली गरे, र तपाईंको सन्दूकलाई सुरक्षा दिए ।

The tribe of Levi did what you told them to do and obeyed the agreement that you [made with the Israeli people]; those laws were more important to them [HYP] than their siblings and parents and children.

10 तिनले याकूबलाई तपाईंका विधिहरू र इस्राएललाई तपाईंको व्यवस्था सिकाउँछन् । तिनले तपाईंको सामु धूप बाल्छन्, र तपाईंको वेदीमा सबै होमबलि चढाउँछन् ।

The tribe of Levi will teach the Israeli people [DOU] your rules and regulations, and they are the ones who will burn incense and who will completely burn on the altar the offerings [that the people bring].

11 हे परमप्रभु, तिनका सबै सम्पत्तिमा आशिष् दिनुहोस्, र तिनका हातका काम स्वीकार गर्नुहोस् । तिनको विरुद्धमा खडा हुनेहरू र तिनलाई घृण गर्नेहरूका कम्मरमा हिर्काउनुहोस् ताकि तिनीहरू फेरि उठ्न नसकून् ।

Yahweh, bless their work and (accept/be pleased with) all that they do. Crush/Destroy all their enemies; do not enable their enemies to be able to fight against them again.

12 बेन्यामीनको विषयमा मोशाले भनेः परमप्रभुका प्रिय उहाँको छेउमा सुरक्षित रहून् । परमप्रभुले तिनको जीवनभर रक्षा गर्नुहुन्छ, र तिनी परमप्रभुको पाखुराको बिचमा बस्छन् ।

I say this about [the tribe of] Benjamin: They are the tribe that Yahweh loves; he keeps them safe. He protects them continually, and he lives among their hills [MET].

13 योसेफको विषयमा मोशाले भनेः माथि आकाशबाट झर्ने अनमोल शीत र तल गहिराइको पानीले तिनको देश परमप्रभुद्वारा आशिषित् होस् ।

“say this about [the tribes of] Joseph: I desire/hope that Yahweh will bless their land by giving them rain/dew from the sky and water from deep [in the ground],

14 तिनको देश सूर्यको ताप र महिनैपिच्छेका उब्जनीका अनमोल कुराहरूले आशिषित् होस् ।

by giving them good fruit [ripened] by the sun and good crops at harvest time.

15 साथै, प्राचीन पर्वतहरूका उत्तम कुराहरू, र अनन्तका पर्वतहरूका अनमोल कुराहरूले आशिषित् होस् ।

I desire/hope that very nice fruit will grow on trees in their ancient mountains/hills [DOU],

16 तिनको देश पृथ्वीका अनमोल कुराहरू र यसको प्रचुरता अनि जलिरहेको पोथ्रामा बस्‍नुहुनेको निगाहले आशिषित् होस् । योसेफको शिरमा आशिष् आओस्, र आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूमाथिका राजकुमारको शिरमा आशिष् आओस् ।

and that their land will be have many good crops, blessed by [Yahweh], the one who appeared to me in a burning bush. I desire/hope that Yahweh will bless the tribes of Joseph in all those ways, because he was the leaders of his [older] brothers [when they were in Egypt].

17 ऐश्‍वर्यमा तिनी पहिले बियाएका बाछोझैँ छन्, र तिनका सिङ अर्नाका सिङ हुन् । तीद्वारा नै तिनले सबै मानिसलाई पृथ्वीको पल्लो छेउसम्म हान्‍ने छन् । यी एफ्राइमका दसौँ हजार हुन् र मनश्शेका हजारौँ हुन् ।

The descendants of Joseph will be as strong as [SIM] a bull; [with their weapons they will wound their enemies, like] [MET] a wild ox [gores other animals] with its horns. They will force other people-groups, all of them, to be exiled to the most distant places on the earth. That is what [the descendants of the two sons of Joseph] will do, the ten thousands [of the tribe] of Ephraim and the thousands [of the tribe] of Manasseh.

18 जबूलूनको विषयमा मोशाले भनेः ए जबूलून तिमी बाहिर जाँदा र ए इस्साखार तिमी आफ्ना पालहरूमा बस्दा आनन्दित होओ ।

“say this about [the tribes of] Zebulun [and Issachar]: I desire/hope that the people of Zebulun will prosper in their travels [across the seas], and that the people of Issachar will prosper while they stay at home [and take care of their cattle and crops].

19 तिनीहरूले मानिसहरूलाई पर्वतमा बोलाउने छन् । त्यहाँ तिनीहरूले धार्मिकताका बलिदानहरू चढाउने छन् । किनकि तिनीहरूले समुद्रको प्रचुरता र समुद्रीतटको बालुको सम्पत्ति उपभोग गर्ने छन् ।

They will invite people [from the other Israeli tribes] to the mountain [where they worship Yahweh], and they will offer the correct/proper sacrifices to him. They will become rich from [the work that they do on] the seas and from [the things that they make from] (OR, [find in]) the sand [on the beaches].

20 गादको विषयमा मोशाले भनेः गादलाई वृद्धि गर्ने धन्यका हुन् । त्यहाँ तिनी सिंहिनीझैँ बस्‍ने छन्, र तिनले मुखियाको पाखुरा लुछिदिने छन् ।

“say this about [the tribe of] Gad: Praise [Yahweh], the one who made their [territory] large. The people of their tribe [will attack their enemies fiercely] [SIM] like a lion that crouches, waiting to tear off the arm or the scalp [of some animal].

21 तिनले आफ्नो निम्ति सबैभन्दा उत्तम जग्गा छाने, किनकि नायकको हिस्सा तिनको निम्ति अलग गरिएको थियो । तिनी मानिसहरूका अगुवाहरूसँगै आए । तिनले इस्राएलसितै परमप्रभुको न्याय र उहाँका विधिहरू पुरा गरे ।

They chose the best part of the land for themselves; [a large share of the land], a share that should be given to a leader was allotted to them. When the leaders of the tribes of Israel [gathered together], they decided that the tribe of Gad should have a large share of the land. The tribe of Gad obeyed the commands of Yahweh and the things that he decided that they should do.

22 दानको विषयमा मोशाले भनेः दान बाशानबाट हामफाल्दै आउने सिंहको डमरु हो ।

“say this about [the tribe] of Dan: The people of the tribe of Dan are like [SIM] a young lion; they leap from [their caves in the] Bashan [region to attack their enemies].

23 नप्‍तालीको विषयमा मोशाले भनेः नप्‍ताली परमप्रभुको आशिष्‌को भरिपूर्णता र स्‍नेहद्वारा सन्तुष्‍ट भएका छन् । तिनले पश्‍चिम र दक्षिणको देश अधिकार गर्ने छन् ।

“say this about [the tribe of] Naphtali: [The people of the tribe of] Naphtali have been blessed by Yahweh, who has been very kind to them; their land extends far south from Lake [Galilee].

24 आशेरको विषयमा मोशाले भनेः आशेर अन्य छोराहरूमध्ये सबैभन्दा बढी आशिषित् होऊन् । तिनी आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूकहाँ स्वीकारयोग्य होऊन्, र तिनले आफ्नो खुट्टा जैतूनको तेलमा धोऊन् ।

“say this about [the tribe of] Asher: May Yahweh bless the descendants of Asher more than he will bless the other tribes. May he favor Asher’s descendants most of all. I desire/hope that their land will [be filled with olive trees that will] produce a lot of [IDM] [olives to make olive] oil.

25 तिनको सहरका बारहरू फलाम र काँसाका होऊन् । तिमी बाँचुञ्‍जेसम्म तिम्रो सुरक्षा हुने छ ।

Their [towns will be protected by high walls with gates that have] bronze and iron bars; I desire/hope that they will be strong and secure/protected all the time that they are alive.

26 यशूरूनमा परमेश्‍वरजस्तो कोही छैन । उहाँ सत्य हुनुहुन्छ जो तिम्रो सहायताको लागि आफ्नो प्रतापमा बादलमाथि स्वर्गबाट सवार भएर आउनुहुन्छ ।

“You people of Israel, there is no god like your God, who rides majestically across the sky to help you.

27 अनन्त परमेश्‍वर शरणस्थान हुनुहुन्छ, र मुनितिरचाहिँ अनन्त पाखुरा छन् । उहाँले तिमीहरूका सामुन्‍नेबाट शत्रुलाई धपाउनुहुने छ, र उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “नाश पार्!”

God, who lives forever, is the one who (gives you refuge/protects you); [it is as though] he puts his everlasting arms under you [to support you]. He will expel your enemies while you advance; he has told you to destroy all of them.

28 इस्राएल सुरक्षामा बस्यो । अन्‍न र नयाँ मद्यको देशमा याकूबको सन्तान सुरक्षित थियो । वास्तवमा तिनको आकाशले तिनमाथि शीत झारून् ।

So, you Israeli people will live safely; you descendants of Jacob will not be disturbed by others; in the land where [you will live], there will be plenty of grain and wine, and there will be plenty of rain.

29 ए इस्राएल, तिम्रा आशिष्‌हरू अनगिन्ती छन् । परमप्रभुद्वारा बचाइएको जाति तिमीजस्तै को छ र? उहाँ तिम्रो सहायताको ढाल हुनुहुन्छ, र तिम्रो प्रतापको तरवार हुनुहुन्छ । तिम्रा शत्रुहरू काँप्दै तिमीकहाँ आउँछन् । तिमीले तिनीहरूका अग्ला-अग्ला ठाउँहरूमा कुल्चने छौ ।

You people of Israel, Yahweh (has blessed/is pleased with) you. There is certainly [RHQ] no nation like your nation, whom Yahweh has rescued [from being slaves in Egypt]. [He will be like] [MET] a shield to protect you and like [MET] a sword to enable you to defeat [your enemies]. Your enemies will come to you begging for you [to act mercifully toward them], but you will trample on their backs/necks.”
