गन्ती 13
1 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो,
And the LORD said to Moses,
2 “केही मानिसहरूलाई कनानको भूमिको जाँच गर्न पठा, जुन मैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई दिएको छु । तिनीहरूका पुर्खाका हरेक कुलबाट एक-एक जना पठा । ती हरेक तिनीहरूका अगुवा हुनुपर्छ ।”
“Send out for yourself men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites. From each of their fathers’ tribes send one man who is a leader among them.”
3 मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई पारानको मरुभूमिबाट पठाए, ताकि तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको आज्ञा पालन गरून् । तिनीहरू सबै इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका अगुवाहरू थिए ।
So at the consent of the LORD, Moses sent them out from the Wilderness of Paran. All the men were leaders of the Israelites,
4 तिनीहरूका नाउँ यिनै हुन्ः रूबेनको कुलबाट जक्कूरका छोरा शम्मूअ;
and these were their names: From the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zaccur;
5 शिमियोनका कुलबाट होरीका छोरा शाफात;
from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;
6 यहूदाको कुलबाट यपुन्नेका छोरा कालेब;
from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
7 इस्साखारको कुलबाट योसेफका छोरा यिगाल;
from the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;
8 एफ्राइमको कुलबाट, नूनका छोरा होशिया;
from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea son of Nun;
9 बेन्यामीनको कुलबाट, रफूका छोरा पलती;
from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu;
10 जबूलूनको कुलबाट सोदीका छोरा गद्दीएल;
from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;
11 योसेफको कुलबाट (अर्थात् मनेश्शेको कुलबाट) सूसीका छोरा गेद्दी;
from the tribe of Manasseh (a tribe of Joseph), Gaddi son of Susi;
12 दानको कुलबाट गमल्लीका छोरा अम्मीएल;
from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;
13 आशेरको कुलबाट मिखाएलका छोरा सतूर;
from the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael;
14 नप्तालीको कुलबाट वोफ्सीका छोरा नहबी
from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vophsi;
15 गादको कुलबाट माकीका छोरा गूएल ।
and from the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Machi.
16 मोशाले भूमिको जाँच गर्न पठाएका मानिसहरूका नाउँ यिनै थिए । मोशाले नूनका छोरा होशियालाई यहोशू नाउँ राखे ।
These were the names of the men Moses sent to spy out the land; and Moses gave to Hoshea son of Nun the name Joshua.
17 मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई कनानको भूमि जाँचबुझ गर्न पठाए । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “नेगेवबाट प्रवेश गर र पहाडी मुलुकतिर जाओ ।
When Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, he told them, “Go up through the Negev and into the hill country.
18 यो कस्तो छ भनी भूमिको जाँचबुझ गर ।
See what the land is like and whether its people are strong or weak, few or many.
19 त्यहाँ बस्ने मानिसहरूलाई हेर, तिनीहरू बलिया वा कमजोर छन् वा तिनीहरू धेरै छन् वा थोरै छन् ।
Is the land where they live good or bad? Are the cities where they dwell open camps or fortifications?
20 तिनीहरू बसोबास गरेका भूमि कस्तो छ, हेर । यो असल वा खराब छ? सहरहरू कस्ता छन्? तिनीहरू छाउनी वा किल्ला भएको सहरहरूमा छन्? भूमि कस्तो छ । अन्न उमार्न असल छ वा छैन, रुखहरू छन् वा छैनन् । साहसी होओ र त्यो भूमिको उत्पादनको नमुना लिएर आओ ।” त्यस बेला पहिलो दाख पाक्ने समय थियो ।
Is the soil fertile or unproductive? Are there trees in it or not? Be courageous, and bring back some of the fruit of the land.” (It was the season for the first ripe grapes.)
21 यसैले ती मानिसहरू गए र जीनको मरुभूमिदेखि लेबो-हमात नजिकको रेहोबसम्मको भूमिको जाँचबुझ गरे ।
So they went up and spied out the land from the Wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob, toward Lebo-hamath.
22 तिनीहरू नेगेवबाट उक्लेर हेब्रोनमा आइपुगे । त्यहाँ अनाकका सन्तानहरू अहीमान, शेशै र तल्मै थिए । होब्रोन मिश्रको सोअनभन्दा सात वर्ष पहिले निर्माण गरिएको थियो ।
They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, dwelled. It had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.
23 जब तिनीहरू एश्कोलको बेँसीमा पुगे, तिनीहरूले दाखको झुप्पासहितको हाँगा काटे । तिनीहरूले यसलाई घोचामा राखेर दुई जनाले बोके । तिनीहरूले अनार र नेभारा पनि ल्याए ।
When they came to the Valley of Eshcol, they cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes, which they carried on a pole between two men. They also took some pomegranates and figs.
24 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले त्यहाँ दाखको झुप्पा काटेकाले त्यस ठाउँलाई एश्कोलको बेँसी नाउँ राखियो ।
Because of the cluster of grapes the Israelites cut there, that place was called the Valley of Eshcol.
25 चालिस दिनपछि तिनीहरू भूमिको जाँचबुझ गरेर फर्के ।
After forty days the men returned from spying out the land,
26 तिनीहरू मोशा, हारून र इस्राएलका सारा समुदायकहाँ पारानको मरुभूमिमा भएको कादेशमा फर्केर आए । तिनीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई र सारा समुदायलाई खबर ल्याए र भूमिको उत्पादन तिनीहरूलाई देखाए ।
and they went back to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran at Kadesh. They brought back a report for the whole congregation and showed them the fruit of the land.
27 तिनीहरूले मोशालाई भने, “तपाईंले पठाउनुभएको मुलुकमा हामी पुग्यौँ । यसमा साँच्चै दुध र मह बग्दोरहेछ । यसका केही उत्पादनहरू यहाँ छन् ।
And they gave this account to Moses: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and indeed, it is flowing with milk and honey. Here is some of its fruit!
28 तथापि, त्यहाँ बसोबास गर्ने मानिसहरू बलिया छन् । सहरमा किल्ला हालिएका छन् र ती धेरै ठुला छन् । हामीले अनाकका सन्तानहरूलाई पनि देख्यौँ ।
Nevertheless, the people living in the land are strong, and the cities are large and fortified. We even saw the descendants of Anak there.
29 नेगेवमा अमालेकीहरू बसोसबास गर्छन् । हित्ती, यबूसी, र एमोरी पहाडी मुलुकमा बस्छन् । कनानीहरू समुद्र किनारा र यर्दन नदीको तीरमा बस्छन् ।”
The Amalekites live in the land of the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live by the sea and along the Jordan.”
30 अनि यहोशूले मोशाको सामु मानिसहरूलाई चुपचाप बनाए र भने, “जाऔँ र भूमिलाई कब्जा गरौँ, किनभने हामीले यसलाई निश्चय पनि जित्नेछौँ ।
Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “We must go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly conquer it!”
31 तर तिनीसँग गएका अरू मानिसहरूले भने, “हामीले तिनीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्न सक्दैनौँ, किनभने तिनीहरू हामीभन्दा बलिया छन् ।”
But the men who had gone up with him replied, “We cannot go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are!”
32 यसैले तिनीहरूले जाँचबुझ गरेका मुलुकबारे इस्राएलका मानिसहरू माझ निरुत्साहित पार्ने खबर फिँजाए । तिनीहरूले भने, “हामीले हेरेका मुलकले त आफ्नै बासिन्दाहरूलाई निल्दोरहेछ ।
So they gave the Israelites a bad report about the land that they had spied out: “The land we explored devours its inhabitants, and all the people we saw there are great in stature.
33 हामीले त्यहाँ देखेका सबै मानिस अग्ला कदका छन् । हामीले त्यहाँ दैत्यहरू अर्थात् अनाकका सन्तानहरू देख्यौँ जो दैत्यहरूबाट आएका थिए । तिनीहरूसँग तुलना गर्दा हामी हाम्रो नजरमा फट्याङ्ग्राजस्ता थियौँ ।”
We even saw the Nephilim there—the descendants of Anak that come from the Nephilim! We seemed like grasshoppers in our own sight, and we must have seemed the same to them!”
