गन्ती 11

1 यस बेला परमप्रभुले सुन्‍ने गरी मानिसहरूले तिनीहरूका कष्‍टबारे गनगन गरे । परमप्रभुले मानिसहरूको गनगन सुन्‍नुभयो र रिसाउनुभयो । परमप्रभुबाट आगो दन्कियो र यसका किनाराका केही छाउनीहरू जले ।

And it came to pass that as the people complained in a manner displeasing in the ears of the Lord, the Lord heard it, and his anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed at the uttermost part of the camp.

2 अनि मानिसहरूले मोशासँग बिन्ती गरे । यसैले मोशाले परमप्रभुसँग प्रार्थना गरे, र आगो रोकियो ।

And the people then cried unto Moses; and Moses prayed unto the Lord, and the fire disappeared.

3 त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ तबेरा राखियो, किनभने परमप्रभुको आगो मानिसहरूमाझ दन्कियो ।

And he called the name of the place Tab'erah; because the fire of the Lord had burnt among them.

4 केही विदेशीहरू इस्राएलका सन्तानहरूसँग छाउनीमा बस्‍न थाले । तिनीहरूले मिठो खानेकुरा खाने इच्छा गरे । अनि इस्राएलका मानिसहरू रुन थाले र भने, “हामीलाई कसले मासु खान दिन्छ?”

And the mixed multitude that was among them felt a lustful longing: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who will give us flesh to eat?

5 हामीले मिश्रमा खुलमखुला खाएका माछा, काँक्रा, खरबूजा, कन्दहरू, प्याज र लसुन सम्झन्छौँ ।

We remember the fish, which we could eat in Egypt for naught; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic;

6 अहिले हाम्रो भोक नै हराइसकेको छ, किनभने हामी देख्‍ने जत्ति सबै थोक मन्‍न मात्र हो ।”

But now our soul is faint: there is nothing at all, only to the manna are our eyes [directed].

7 मन्‍न धनियाँको बिउजस्तो थियो । यो हेर्दा खोटोजस्तो देखिन्थ्यो ।

But the manna was like coriander-seed, and its color as the color of the bdellium.

8 मानिसहरू वरिपरि जान्थे र यसलाई बटुल्थे । तिनीहरूले यसलाई पिँध्थे, ओखलीमा कुट्थे, भाँडामा उमाल्थे र यसलाई फुरौला बनाउँथे । यो ताजा जैतूनको तेलको स्वादको थियो ।

The people went about and gathered it, and ground it in a mill, or pounded it in a mortar, and boiled it in a pot, or made cakes of it: and its taste was as the taste of cakes mixed with oil.

9 छाउनीमा राती शीत पर्दा मन्‍न पनि झर्थ्यो ।

And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.

10 मानिसहरू आ-आफ्ना परिवारमा रोएको मोशाले सुने र सबै मानिस आ-आफ्ना पालको ढोका थिए । परमप्रभु साह्रै क्रोधित हुनुभयो र तिनीहरूको गनगन मोशाको दृष्‍टिमा गलत थियो ।

And Moses heard the people weep according to their families, every man at the door of his tent: and the anger of the Lord was kindled greatly; and in the eyes of Moses also was it displeasing.

11 मोशाले परमप्रभुलाई भने, “तपाईंको दासलाई किन यति नराम्रो व्यावहार गर्नुभएको? तपाईं किन मसँग खुसी हुनुहुन्‍न? तपाईंले मलाई यी सबै मानिसको बोझ बोकाउनुहुन्छ ।

And Moses said unto the Lord, Wherefore hast thou done evil to thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favor in thy eyes, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?

12 के यी मानिसहरूलाई मैले गर्भधारण गरेको थिएँ? के तिनीहरूलाई मैले जन्माएको थिएँ अनि 'तिनीहरूलाई बुबाले बालकलाई आफ्नो छातीमा टाँसेर बोकेझैँ बोक्' भन्‍नुहुन्छ? के मैले तिनीहरूलाई तपाईंले तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई दिन्छु भनी प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको मुलुक दिन त्यहाँसम्म नै बोक्‍नुपर्ने?

Was it I who have conceived all this people? or was it I who have begotten them? that thou shouldst say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou hast sworn unto their fathers?

13 यी सबै मानिसलाई खुवाउन मैले मासु कहाँ पाउन सक्छु? तिनीहरू 'हामीलाई मासु खान दिनुहोस्' भन्‍दै मेरो सामु रोइरहेका छन् ।

Whence shall I obtain flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep around me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.

14 यी सबै मानिसलाई म एक्लै बोक्‍न सक्दिनँ । तिनीहरू मेरो निम्ति अति धेरै भएका छन् ।

I am not able by myself alone to bear all this people, because it is too heavy for me.

15 तपाईंले मसँग यस्तो व्यवहार गरिरहनुभएको हुनाले यदि मैले तपाईंको दृष्‍टिमा निगाह पाएको छु भने मलाई अहिले नै मार्नुहोस्, मैले मेरो बिजोग देख्‍नु नपरोस् ।”

And if thou wilt thus deal with me, then slay me, I pray thee, at once, if I have found favor in thy eyes: that I may not see my wretchedness.

16 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “इस्राएलका सत्तरी जना धर्म-गुरु मकहाँ ले । तिनीहरू सबै धर्म-गुरु र मानिसहरूका अधिकृतहरू होऊन् । तिनीहरूलाई भेट हुने पालमा तँसँगै खडा हुनलाई ले ।

And the Lord said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and its officers; and take them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall stand there with thee.

17 म ओर्ली आउनेछु र तँसँग कुरा गर्नेछु । तँसँग भ‍एको केही आत्मा लिएर यसलाई म तिनीहरूमाथि राख्‍नेछु । तिनीहरूले मानिसहरूका बोझ तँसँगै बहन गर्नेछन् । यसलाई तँ एक्लैले बोक्‍नुपर्नेछैन ।

And I will come down and speak with thee there: and I will take some of the spirit which is upon thee, and I will put it upon them; and they shall bear with thee the burden of the people, and thou shalt not bear it by thyself alone.

18 मानिसहरूलाई भन्, 'भोलिको निम्ति आफैलाई शुद्ध पार र तिमीहरूले साँच्‍चै मासु खानेछौ, किनकि तिमीहरू रोएका छौ र परमप्रभुले सुन्‍नुभएको छ । तिमीहरूले भन्यौ, “हामीलाई कसले मासु खान दिन्छ? हामीलाई मिश्र देश नै असल थियो ।” यसकारण, परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई मासु दिनुहुनेछ र तिमीहरूले यसलाई खानेछौ ।

And unto the people shalt thou say, Hold yourselves ready against tomorrow, that ye may eat flesh; for ye have wept in the ears of the Lord, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was better with us in Egypt: thus will the Lord give you flesh, and ye shall eat.

19 तिमीहरूले मासु एक दिन, दुई दिन, पाँच दिन, दस दिन वा बिस दिन मात्र खानेछेनौ,

Not one day shall ye eat, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days;

20 तर तिमीहरूले तिमीहरूको नाक लागूञ्‍जेलसम्म पुरै महिनाभरि नै मासु खानेछौ । यो तिमीहरूलाई दिगमिग हुनेछ, किनभने तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई इन्कार गरेका छौ, जो तिमीहरू माझ हुनुहुन्छ । तिमीहरू उहाँको सामु रोएका छौ । तिमीहरूले भन्यौ, “हामीले मिश्र देश किन छाड्यौँ?”

But up to a full month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it become loathsome unto you; because that ye have despised the Lord who is in the midst of you, and ye have wept before him, saying, Why did we come forth out of Egypt?

21 त्यसपछि मोशाले भने, “म छ लाख मानिससँग छु, र तपाईंले भन्‍नुभएको छ, 'मैले तिनीहरूलाई पुरै एक महिना मासु खान दिनेछु ।'

And Moses said, Six hundred thousand men on foot is the people, in the midst of whom I am; and yet thou hast said, Flesh will I give them, that they may eat a whole month.

22 के तिनीहरूलाई तृप्‍त पार्न हामीले भेडा-बाख्राहरू र गाईवस्तुहरू काट्नु त? के तिनीहरूलाई तृप्‍त पार्न हामीले समुद्रका सबै माछाहरू पक्रने?”

Shall flocks and herds be slain for them, that they may suffice for them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, that they may suffice for them?

23 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “के मेरो बहुली छोटो भएको छ? मेरो वचन सत्य हो वा होइन भनी अब तैँले देख्‍नेछस् ।”

And the Lord said unto Moses, Should the Lord's hand be too short? now shalt thou see whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.

24 मोशा बाहिर गए र परमप्रभुको वचन बोले । तिनले मानिसका सत्तरी जना धर्म-गुरुलाई भेला गरे र तिनीहरूलाई पालको वरिपरि राखे ।

And Moses went out, and spoke to the people the words of the Lord; and he assembled seventy men from the elders of the people, and placed them round about the tabernacle.

25 परमप्रभु बादलमा तल आउनुभयो र मोशासँग बोल्नुभयो । परमप्रभुले मोशासँग भएको केही आत्मा लिनुभयो र यसलाई सत्तरी जना धर्म-गुरुमाथि राखिदिनुभयो । तिनीहरूमाथि आत्मा आउनुभएपछि तिनीहरूले अगमवाणी गरे, तर त्यस बेला मात्र र फेरि अगमवाणी गरेनन् ।

And the Lord came down in a cloud and spoke unto him; and he took some of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy men, the elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, but they did not so any more.

26 एल्दाद र मेदाद नाउँ गरेका दुई जना छाउनीमा नै बसे । आत्मा तिनीहरूमाथि पनि आउनुभयो । सूचीमा तिनीहरूका नाउँ पनि उल्लेख गरिएको थियो, तर तिनीहरू पालमा गएका थिएनन् । तथापि तिनीहरूले छाउनीमा नै अगमवाणी गरे ।

And there remained two men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad; and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of those that were written down, but they had not gone out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.

27 छाउनीमा भएका एक जना जवान दौडेर गएर मोशालाई भने, “एल्दाद र मेदादले छाउनीमा नै अगमवाणी गरिरहेका छन् ।”

And there ran a young man, and told to Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.

28 मोशाका सहायक, तिनका चुनिएका एक जना अर्थात् नूनका छोरा यहोशूले मोशालाई भने, “मालिक, तिनीहरूलाई रोक्‍नुहोस् ।”

And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses from his youth, answered and said, My Lord Moses, forbid them.

29 मोशाले तिनलाई भने, “के तिमी मेरो खातिर डाही हुन्छौ? परमप्रभुले उहाँका सबै मानिसमाथि उहाँको आत्मा राखेर तिनीहरू अगमवक्‍ताहरू भए कति राम्रो हुन्थ्यो!”

And Moses said unto him, Art thou zealous for my sake? And oh that one might render all the people of the Lord prophets, that the Lord would put his spirit upon them!

30 मोशा र इस्राएलका धर्म-गुरुहरू छाउनीमा फर्केर गए ।

And Moses retired back into thy camp, he with the elders of Israel.

31 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुबाट बतास आयो र समुद्रबाट बट्टाई चराहरू ल्यायो । तिनीहरू छाउनी नजिक वरिपरि एक दिनको बाटोभरि झरे । बट्टाई चराहरूले लगभग एक मिटर जत्ति बाक्लो हुने गरी जमिनलाई नै ढाके ।

And a wind went forth from the Lord, and drove up quails from the sea, and scattered them over the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and about a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits high over the face of the earth.

32 मानिसहरू त्यस दिनभरि, रातभरि र अर्को दिनभरि बट्टाई चराहरू बटुल्नमा व्यस्त भए । कसैले पनि पच्‍चिस मुरीभन्दा कम बटुलेन । तिनीहरूले छाउनीभरि बट्टाई चराहरू फिँजाए ।

And the people arose all that day, and all that night, and all the following day, and they gathered the quails; he that had taken the least, had gathered ten chomers: and they spread them out for themselves round about the camp.

33 मासु तिनीहरूको मुखमा हुँदा नै, तिनीहरूले यसलाई चपाइरहँदा नै, परमप्रभु तिनीहरूसँग क्रोधित हुनुभयो । उहाँले मानिसहरूलाई भयङ्कर रोगले प्रहार गर्नुभयो ।

The flesh was yet between their teeth, it was not yet chewed: when the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord smote among the people a very great plague.

34 त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ किब्रोथ-हत्तावा राखियो, किनभने मासुको लालसा गर्ने मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ गाडे ।

And he called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah; because there they buried the people that had lustfully craved.

35 किब्रोथ-हत्तावाबाट मानिसहरू हसेरोततिर गए, जहाँ तिनीहरू बसे ।

From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed unto Chazeroth; and they remained at Chazeroth.
