< 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 ।
The people were complaining in the ears of the LORD. When the LORD heard it, his anger burned; and the LORD’s fire burned among them, and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp.
2 अनि मानिसहरूले मोशासँग बिन्ती गरे । यसैले मोशाले परमप्रभुसँग प्रार्थना गरे, र आगो रोकियो ।
The people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to the LORD, and the fire abated.
3 त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ तबेरा राखियो, किनभने परमप्रभुको आगो मानिसहरूमाझ दन्कियो ।
The name of that place was called Taberah, because the LORD’s fire burned 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?”
The mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly; and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, “Who will give us meat to eat?
5 हामीले मिश्रमा खुलमखुला खाएका माछा, काँक्रा, खरबूजा, कन्दहरू, प्याज र लसुन सम्झन्छौँ ।
We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt for nothing; 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 we have lost our appetite. There is nothing at all except this manna to look at.”
7 मन्न धनियाँको बिउजस्तो थियो । यो हेर्दा खोटोजस्तो देखिन्थ्यो ।
The manna was like coriander seed, and it looked like 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 around, gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it. Its taste was like the taste of fresh oil.
9 छाउनीमा राती शीत पर्दा मन्न पनि झर्थ्यो ।
When the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on 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 ।
Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent; and the LORD’s anger burned greatly; and Moses was displeased.
11 मोशाले परमप्रभुलाई भने, “तपाईंको दासलाई किन यति नराम्रो व्यावहार गर्नुभएको? तपाईं किन मसँग खुसी हुनुहुन्न? तपाईंले मलाई यी सबै मानिसको बोझ बोकाउनुहुन्छ ।
Moses said to the LORD, “Why have you treated your servant so badly? Why haven’t I found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on 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?
Have I conceived all this people? Have I brought them out, that you should tell me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which you swore to their fathers’?
13 यी सबै मानिसलाई खुवाउन मैले मासु कहाँ पाउन सक्छु? तिनीहरू 'हामीलाई मासु खान दिनुहोस्' भन्दै मेरो सामु रोइरहेका छन् ।
Where could I get meat to give all these people? For they weep before me, saying, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’
14 यी सबै मानिसलाई म एक्लै बोक्न सक्दिनँ । तिनीहरू मेरो निम्ति अति धेरै भएका छन् ।
I am not able to bear all this people alone, 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 ।”
If you treat me this way, please kill me right now, if I have found favor in your sight; and don’t let me 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 ।
The LORD said to Moses, “Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; and bring them to the Tent of Meeting, that they may stand there with you.
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 ।
I will come down and talk with you there. I will take of the Spirit which is on you, and will put it on them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you don’t bear it yourself 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 ।
“Say to the people, ‘Sanctify yourselves in preparation for tomorrow, and you will eat meat; for you have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, “Who will give us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt.” Therefore the LORD will give you meat, and you will eat.
19 तिमीहरूले मासु एक दिन, दुई दिन, पाँच दिन, दस दिन वा बिस दिन मात्र खानेछेनौ,
You will not eat just one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days, or 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 a whole month, until it comes out at your nostrils, and it is loathsome to you; because you have rejected the LORD who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, “Why did we come out of Egypt?”’”
21 त्यसपछि मोशाले भने, “म छ लाख मानिससँग छु, र तपाईंले भन्नुभएको छ, 'मैले तिनीहरूलाई पुरै एक महिना मासु खान दिनेछु ।'
Moses said, “The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and you have said, ‘I will give them meat, 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 slaughtered for them, to be sufficient for them? Shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to be sufficient for them?”
23 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “के मेरो बहुली छोटो भएको छ? मेरो वचन सत्य हो वा होइन भनी अब तैँले देख्नेछस् ।”
The LORD said to Moses, “Has the LORD’s hand grown short? Now you will see whether my word will happen to you or not.”
24 मोशा बाहिर गए र परमप्रभुको वचन बोले । तिनले मानिसका सत्तरी जना धर्म-गुरुलाई भेला गरे र तिनीहरूलाई पालको वरिपरि राखे ।
Moses went out, and told the people the LORD’s words; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them around the Tent.
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 ।
The LORD came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was on him, and put it on the seventy elders. When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did so no 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 ।
But two men remained in the camp. The name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad; and the Spirit rested on them. They were of those who were written, but had not gone out to the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp.
27 छाउनीमा भएका एक जना जवान दौडेर गएर मोशालाई भने, “एल्दाद र मेदादले छाउनीमा नै अगमवाणी गरिरहेका छन् ।”
A young man ran, and told 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 ।”
Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered, “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!”
Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the LORD’s people were prophets, that the LORD would put his Spirit on them!”
30 मोशा र इस्राएलका धर्म-गुरुहरू छाउनीमा फर्केर गए ।
Moses went into the camp, he and 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 ।
A wind from the LORD went out and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day’s journey on this side, and a day’s journey on the other side, around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface 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 ।
The people rose up all that day, and all of that night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails. He who gathered least gathered ten homers; and they spread them all out for themselves around the camp.
33 मासु तिनीहरूको मुखमा हुँदा नै, तिनीहरूले यसलाई चपाइरहँदा नै, परमप्रभु तिनीहरूसँग क्रोधित हुनुभयो । उहाँले मानिसहरूलाई भयङ्कर रोगले प्रहार गर्नुभयो ।
While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the LORD’s anger burned against the people, and the LORD struck the people with a very great plague.
34 त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ किब्रोथ-हत्तावा राखियो, किनभने मासुको लालसा गर्ने मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ गाडे ।
The name of that place was called Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who lusted.
35 किब्रोथ-हत्तावाबाट मानिसहरू हसेरोततिर गए, जहाँ तिनीहरू बसे ।
From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth; and they stayed at Hazeroth.
