इजकिएल 44

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

And he brought me back toward the outer gate of the sanctuary which looked toward the east; and 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 Jehovah said unto me, This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, and no one shall enter in by it: for Jehovah, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it; and it shall be shut.

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

As for the prince, he, the prince, shall sit in it to eat bread before Jehovah: he shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.

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 ।

And he brought me the way of the north gate before the house; and I beheld, and lo, the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah: and I fell upon my face.

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 ।

And Jehovah said unto me, Son of man, apply thy heart, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the statutes of the house of Jehovah, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth 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,

and say to the rebellious, to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Let it suffice you 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 that ye have brought strangers, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, [even] my house, when ye offered my bread, the fat and the blood; and they have broken my covenant besides all your abominations.

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 ye have not kept the charge of my holy things, but have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.

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 ।

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: No stranger, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.

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

But the Levites who went away far from me, when Israel went astray, going astray from me after their idols, they shall even bear 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 ।

but they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and doing the service of the house: they shall slaughter the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto 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 unto them before their idols, and were unto the house of Israel a stumbling-block of iniquity; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, saith the Lord Jehovah, that they shall bear their iniquity.

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 ।

And they shall not draw near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to draw near to any of my holy things, [even] to the most holy; but they shall bear their confusion, and their abominations which they have committed.

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

And I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.

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 priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall approach unto me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to present unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord Jehovah.

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

They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall approach unto my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.

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

And it shall come to pass when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, when they minister in the gates of the inner court, and towards the house.

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

They shall have linen tires upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird on anything that causeth sweat.

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 ।

And when they go forth into the outer court, into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy cells; and they shall put on other garments, that they may not hallow 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 ।

Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long: they shall duly poll their heads.

21 भित्री चोकमा आउँदा कुनै पनि पुजारीले दाखमद्य पिएको हुनुहुँदैन,

Neither shall any priest drink wine when they enter into 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 take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away; but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that is the widow of a priest.

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

And they shall teach my people [the difference] between holy and profane, and cause them to discern between unclean and clean.

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 ।

And in controversy they shall stand to judge: they shall judge it according to my judgments; and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my solemnities; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.

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 ।

And they shall come at no dead person to become unclean; but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may become unclean.

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

And after he is cleansed, they shall count unto him seven days.

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 that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall present his sin-offering, saith the Lord Jehovah.

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

And it shall be unto them for an inheritance; I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel; I am their possession.

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

They shall eat the oblation and the sin-offering and the trespass-offering; and every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs.

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 ।

And the first of all the first-fruits of every [kind], and every heave-offering of every [kind], of all your heave-offerings, shall be for the priests; ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest on thy house.

31 जङ्गली पशुले मारेको चरा वा पशुको सिनुबाट पुजारीहरूले खानुहुँदैन ।

The priests shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself, or of that which is torn, whether of fowl or of beast.
