इजकिएल 44

1 त्‍यसपछि ती मानिसले मलाई पूर्व फर्केको बाहिरी पवित्र स्थानको ढोकामा ल्याए । त्यो बलियो गरी बन्द थियो ।

The man then brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary that faced east, but it was shut.

2 परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “यो ढोकाको बन्द गरी मोहर लगाइएको छ । यो खोलिनेछैन । कोही पनि मानिस त्यहाँबाट जानेछैन, किनकि परमप्रभु, इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर त्यहाँबाट आउनुभएको छ, यसैले त्यो बलियो गरी बन्द गरिएको छ ।

And the LORD said to me, “This gate is to remain shut. It shall not be opened, and no man shall enter through it, because the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered through it. Therefore it will remain shut.

3 इस्राएलको शासक परमप्रभुको अगि भोजन गर्नलाई त्यहाँ बस्‍नेछ । त्यो ढोकाको दलानबाट भित्र आउनेछ र त्यही बाटो बाहिर जानेछ ।”

Only the prince himself may sit inside the gateway to eat in the presence of the LORD. He must enter by way of the portico of the gateway and go out the same way.”

4 तब तिनले मलाई उत्तरी ढोकाको बाटो हुँदै मन्दिरको अगाडि लगे । मैले हेरें, र हेर, परमप्रभुको महिमाले परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिरलाई ढाक्यो, र मैले आफ्‍नो शिर घोप्टो पारें ।

Then the man brought me to the front of the temple by way of the north gate. I looked and saw the glory of the LORD filling His temple, and I fell facedown.

5 तब परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “ए मानिसको छोरो, मैले तँलाई घोषणा गर्ने सबै कुरा, परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिरका सबै विधि र त्‍यसका सबै नियमतिर आफ्नो हृदयलाई तयार पार् र ती आफ्ना आँखाले हेर् र कानले सुन् । मन्‍दिरका भित्र आउने ढोकाको र बाहिर निस्कने ढोकाहरूका बारेमा विचार गर् ।

The LORD said to me: “Son of man, pay attention; look carefully with your eyes and listen closely with your ears to everything I tell you concerning all the statutes and laws of the house of the LORD. Take careful note of the entrance to the temple, along with all the exits of the sanctuary.

6 तब विद्रोही इस्राएलको घरानालाई यसो भन्, ‘परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: ए इस्राएलको घराना, तेरा सबै घिनलाग्दा कामहरू अब अति भएका छन्,

Tell the rebellious house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I have had enough of all your abominations, O house of Israel.

7 तिमीहरूले मलाई भोजन, बोसो र रगत चढाउँदा, खतना नभएका हृदय र खतना नभएका शरीरका परदेशीहरूलाई तिमीहरूले मेरो पवित्र-स्थानमा ल्याएर मेरो मन्‍दिरलाई अशुद्ध बनयौ । तिमीहरूका घिनलाग्दा कामहरूले तिमीहरूले मेरो करार भङ्ग गरेका छौ ।

In addition to all your other abominations, you brought in foreigners uncircumcised in both heart and flesh to occupy My sanctuary; you defiled My temple when you offered My food—the fat and the blood; you broke My covenant.

8 मेरा पवित्र कुराहरूका बारेमा तिमीहरूले आफ्ना कर्तव्य पुरा गरेका छैनौ, तर तिमीहरूले आफ्ना कर्तव्यहरू पुरा गर्न अरू नियुक्त गर्‍यौ र तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई नै मेरो पवित्र स्थानको रेखदेख गर्न लगायौ ।

And you have not kept charge of My holy things, but have appointed others to keep charge of My sanctuary for you.’

9 परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका बिचमा बसोबास गर्ने कोही परदेशी जसको हृदय र शरीरको खतना भएको छैन, त्यो मेरो पवित्र ठाउँमा प्रवेश नगरोस् ।

This is what the Lord GOD says: No foreigner uncircumcised in heart and flesh may enter My sanctuary—not even a foreigner who lives among the Israelites.

10 तापनि लेवीहरू भने मबाट टाढा भए— आफ्ना मूर्तिहरूका पछि लागेर तिमीहरू मबाट टाढा भट्‍किए, तर तिनीहरूले आफ्ना पापको मोल तिर्नेछन् ।

Surely the Levites who wandered away from Me when Israel went astray, and who wandered away from Me after their idols, will bear the consequences of their iniquity.

11 तिनीहरू मेरो पवित्र-स्थानमा सेवकहरू हुन्, र तिनीहरूले मन्‍दिरका ढोकाहरूका रेखदेख गर्छन् र मन्‍दिरमा सेवा गर्छन् र तिनीहरूले होमबलि र मानिसहरूका बलिदानहरूलाई मार्छन्, र तिनीहरू मानिसहरूको अगि खडा हुन्‍छन् र तिनीहरूको सेवा गर्छन् ।

Yet they shall be ministers in My sanctuary, having charge of the gates of the temple and ministering there. They shall slaughter the burnt offerings and other sacrifices for the people and stand before them to minister to them.

12 तर तिनीहरूले आफ्ना मूर्तिहरूका अगाडि बलिदान चढाएका हुनाले, इस्राएलको घरानाको निम्ति तिनीहरू पापको कारण बने । यसैकारण म आफ्नो हात उठाएर तिनीहरूको विरुद्ध शपथ खान्छु, कि तिनीहरूले आफ्नो दण्ड पाउनेछन्, यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो ।

Because they ministered before their idols and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I swore with an uplifted hand concerning them that they would bear the consequences of their iniquity, declares the Lord GOD.

13 तिनीहरू मेरा पुजारीहरूको काम गर्न वा मेरा पवित्र, अति पवित्र कुराहरू भएको ठाउँमा मेरो नजिक आउनेछैनन् । बरु, तिनीहरूले गरेका घिनलाग्दा कामहरूको कारण तिनीहरूले निन्दा र दोष भोग्‍नेछन् ।

They must not approach Me to serve Me as priests or come near any of My holy things or the most holy things. They will bear the shame of the abominations they have committed.

14 तर म तिनीहरूलाई मेरो मन्‍दिरमा त्यसका सारा कर्तव्यहरू र त्यहाँ गरिने सबै कुरामाथि जिम्मा दिनेछु ।

Yet I will appoint them to keep charge of all the work for the temple and everything to be done in it.

15 अनि इस्राएलका मानिसहरू मबाट टाढा भट्‍किरहेका बेलामा, मेरो पवित्र-स्थानका कर्तव्यहरूलाई पुरा गर्ने सादोकका छोराहरू अर्थात् लेवी पुजारीहरू मेरो अगि मेरो आराधना गर्न आउनेछन् । मलाई बोसो र रगत चढाउन तिनीहरू मेरो अगि खडा हुनेछन्, यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो ।

But the Levitical priests, who are descended from Zadok and who kept charge of My sanctuary when the Israelites went astray from Me, are to approach Me to minister before Me. They will stand before Me to offer Me fat and blood, declares the Lord GOD.

16 तिनीहरू मेरो पवित्र-स्थानमा आउनेछन् । मेरो आराधना गर्न र मेरो निम्ति आफ्ना कर्तव्यहरू पुरा गर्न तिनीहरू मेरो टेबल नजिक आउनेछन् ।

They alone shall enter My sanctuary and draw near to My table to minister before Me. They will keep My charge.

17 यसरी तिनीहरू भित्री चोकका ढोकाहरूमा आउँदा, तिनीहरूले सूतिको कपडा लगाउनुपर्छ, किनभने चोकको ढोका र मन्‍दिरभित्र आउन तिनीहरूले ऊनको वस्‍त्र लगाउनुहुँदैन ।

When they enter the gates of the inner court, they are to wear linen garments; they must not wear anything made of wool when they minister at the gates of the inner court or inside the temple.

18 तिनीहरूका शिरमा सूतिको फेटा र कम्मरमा सूतिको भित्री लुगा हुनुपर्छ । तिनीहरूले पसिना आउने कुनै पनि लुगा लगाउनुहुँदैन ।

They are to wear linen turbans on their heads and linen undergarments around their waists. They must not wear anything that makes them perspire.

19 जब तिनीहरू मानिसहरूकहाँ बाहिरी चोकमा जान्छन्, तब तिनीहरूले सेवा गर्दा लगाइरहेको वस्‍त्र खोल्‍नुपर्छ । तिनीहरूले ती खोल्‍नैपर्छ र ती पवित्र कोठामा राक्‍नुपर्छ, ताकि ती विशेष पहिरनको छुवाइले तिनीहरूले अरू मानिसहरूलाई पवित्र नबनाऊन् ।

When they go out to the outer court, to the people, they are to take off the garments in which they have ministered, leave them in the holy chambers, and dress in other clothes so that they do not transmit holiness to the people with their garments.

20 तिनीहरू आफ्नो कपाल खौरिन पनि हुँदैन, न त ती खुला छोड्‍न हुन्‍छ, तर तिनीहरूले आफ्ना शिरका कपाललाई छोटो गरी काटून् ।

They must not shave their heads or let their hair grow long, but must carefully trim their hair.

21 भित्री चोकमा आउँदा कुनै पनि पुजारीले दाखमद्य पिएको हुनुहुँदैन,

No priest may drink wine before he enters the inner court.

22 त्यसले विधवा वा सम्‍बन्‍ध-विच्‍छेद भएकी स्‍त्रीलाई आफ्नी पत्‍नी बनाउनुहुँदैन, तर त्यसले इस्राएलको घरानाको कन्ये केटी वा पुजारीसँग विवाह गरेर विधवा भएकीसँग मात्र विवाह गरोस् ।

And they shall not marry a widow or a divorced woman, but must marry a virgin of the descendants of the house of Israel, or a widow of a priest.

23 किनकि तिनीहरूले मेरा मानिसहरूलाई पवित्र र अपवित्र बिचको भिन्‍नताबारे सिकाउनेछन् । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई शुद्ध र अशुद्ध बारे चिनाउनेछन् ।

They are to teach My people the difference between the holy and the common, and show them how to discern between the clean and the unclean.

24 कुनै विवाद भएमा, तिनीहरूले मेरा विधिहरूअनुसार न्याय गर्नेछन् । तिनीहरू न्यायपूर्ण हुनुपर्छ । तिनीहरूले हरेक चाडमा मेरा नियम र विधिहरू पालना गर्नेछन्, र तिनीहरूले मेरा पवित्र शबाथहरू मनाउनेछन् ।

In any dispute, they shall officiate as judges and judge according to My ordinances. They must keep My laws and statutes regarding all My appointed feasts, and they must keep My Sabbaths holy.

25 तिनीहरू अशुद्ध हुनलाई मरेको मानिसको अगाडि जानेछैनन्, तर आफ्‍ना बुबा, आमा, छोरो, छोरी, दाजुभाइ, वा कन्ये दिदीबहिनी भएमा तिनीहरू जान सक्छन् । नत्रता तिनीहरू अशुद्ध हुनेछन् ।

A priest must not defile himself by going near a dead person. However, for a father, a mother, a son, a daughter, a brother, or an unmarried sister, he may do so,

26 कुनै पुजारी अधुद्ध भएपछि, तिनीहरूले त्यसको निम्ति सात दिन गन्‍नेछन् ।

and after he is cleansed, he must count off seven days for himself.

27 अनि त्यो पवित्र-स्थानमा, अर्थात् पवित्र-स्थानमा सेवा गर्नलाई भित्री चोकमा प्रवेश गर्ने दिनमा, त्यसले आफ्नो निम्ति पापबलि ल्याओस्, यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो ।

And on the day he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he must present his sin offering, declares the Lord GOD.

28 तिनीहरूको उत्तराधिकार यही हुनेछ: म नै तिनीहरूको उत्तराधिकार हुँ, र इस्राएलमा तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई कुनै सम्पत्ति नदिनू । म नै तिनीहरूको सम्पत्ति हुनेछु ।

In regard to their inheritance, I am their inheritance. You are to give them no possession in Israel, for I am their possession.

29 तिनीहरूले अन्‍नबलि, पापबलि, र दोषबलिबाट खानेछन्, र इस्राएलमा परमप्रभुको निम्ति चढाइएको हरेक कुरा तिनीहरूकै हुनेछ ।

They shall eat the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings. Everything in Israel devoted to the LORD will belong to them.

30 सबै कुराका पहिलो फलबाट असल फल र तिमीहरूका सबै उपहारहरू पुजारीहरूकै हुनेछन्, र तिमीहरूले तिमीहरूका भोजनबाट उत्कृष्‍ट अन्‍नबलि पुजारीहरूलाई दिनू ताकि तिमीहरूको घरमा आशिष् आओस् ।

The best of all the firstfruits and of every contribution from all your offerings will belong to the priests. You are to give your first batch of dough to the priest, so that a blessing may rest upon your homes.

31 जङ्गली पशुले मारेको चरा वा पशुको सिनुबाट पुजारीहरूले खानुहुँदैन ।

The priests may not eat any bird or animal found dead or torn by wild beasts.
