< इजकिएल 44 >
1 त्यसपछि ती मानिसले मलाई पूर्व फर्केको बाहिरी पवित्र स्थानको ढोकामा ल्याए । त्यो बलियो गरी बन्द थियो ।
Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looks 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 ।
The LORD said to me, “This gate shall be shut. It shall not be opened, no man shall enter in by it; for the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered in by it. Therefore 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 shall sit in it as prince to eat bread before the LORD. He shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall 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 he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and behold, the LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house; so I fell on 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 ।
The LORD said to me, “Son of man, mark well, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I tell you concerning all the ordinances of the LORD’s house and all its laws; and mark well the entrance of the house, with every exit 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,
You shall tell the rebellious, even the house of Israel, ‘The Lord GOD says: “You house of Israel, let that be enough of all your abominations,
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 you have brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when you offer my bread, the fat and the blood; and they have broken my covenant, to add to 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 ।
You have not performed the duty of my holy things; but you have set performers of my duty 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 ।
The Lord GOD says, “No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners who are 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 far from me when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols, they will 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 ।
Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house. They shall kill the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall 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 to them before their idols, and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have lifted up my hand against them,” says the Lord GOD, “and they will 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 ।
They shall not come near to me, to execute the office of priest to me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, to the things that are most holy; but they will bear their shame and their abominations which they have committed.
14 तर म तिनीहरूलाई मेरो मन्दिरमा त्यसका सारा कर्तव्यहरू र त्यहाँ गरिने सबै कुरामाथि जिम्मा दिनेछु ।
Yet I will make them performers of the duty of the house, for all its service and for all that will 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 Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who performed the duty of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, shall come near to me to minister to me. They shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood,” says 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 shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my instruction.
17 यसरी तिनीहरू भित्री चोकका ढोकाहरूमा आउँदा, तिनीहरूले सूतिको कपडा लगाउनुपर्छ, किनभने चोकको ढोका र मन्दिरभित्र आउन तिनीहरूले ऊनको वस्त्र लगाउनुहुँदैन ।
“‘“It will be that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments. No wool shall come on them while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
18 तिनीहरूका शिरमा सूतिको फेटा र कम्मरमा सूतिको भित्री लुगा हुनुपर्छ । तिनीहरूले पसिना आउने कुनै पनि लुगा लगाउनुहुँदैन ।
They shall have linen turbans on their heads, and shall have linen trousers on their waists. They shall not clothe themselves with anything that makes them 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 ।
When they go out into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they minister and lay them in the holy rooms. They shall put on other garments, that they not sanctify 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 shall not shave their heads, or allow their locks to grow long. They shall only cut off the hair of their heads.
21 भित्री चोकमा आउँदा कुनै पनि पुजारीले दाखमद्य पिएको हुनुहुँदैन,
None of the priests shall 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 ।
They shall not take for their wives a widow, or her who is put away; but they shall take virgins of the offspring of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.
23 किनकि तिनीहरूले मेरा मानिसहरूलाई पवित्र र अपवित्र बिचको भिन्नताबारे सिकाउनेछन् । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई शुद्ध र अशुद्ध बारे चिनाउनेछन् ।
They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the 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 ।
“‘“In a controversy they shall stand to judge. They shall judge it according to my ordinances. They shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my appointed feasts. They shall make 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 ।
“‘“They shall go in to no dead person to defile themselves; but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister who has had no husband, they may defile themselves.
26 कुनै पुजारी अधुद्ध भएपछि, तिनीहरूले त्यसको निम्ति सात दिन गन्नेछन् ।
After he is cleansed, they shall reckon to 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 ।
In the day that he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering,” says 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 ।
“‘They shall have an inheritance: I am their inheritance; and you 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 meal offering, 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 ।
The first of all the first fruits of every thing, and every offering of everything, of all your offerings, shall be for the priest. You shall also give to the priests the first of your dough, to cause a blessing to rest on your house.
31 जङ्गली पशुले मारेको चरा वा पशुको सिनुबाट पुजारीहरूले खानुहुँदैन ।
The priests shall not eat of anything that dies of itself or is torn, whether it is bird or animal.
