गन्ती 14

1 त्यस रात सारा समुदाय ठुलो आवाज निकालेर रोए ।

Then all the people gave load cries of grief, and all that night they gave themselves up to weeping.

2 इस्राएलका सबै मानिसले मोशा र हारूनको आलोचना गरे । सारा समुदायले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “हामी मिश्र देशमा नै मरेको भए पनि हुन्थ्यो अथवा यही मरुभूमिमा नै मरेको भए नि हुन्थ्यो!

And all the children of Israel, crying out against Moses and Aaron, said, If only we had come to our death in the land of Egypt, or even in this waste land!

3 तरवारद्वारा मर्नलाई परमप्रभुले हामीलाई किन यो भूमिमा ल्याउनुभयो? हाम्रा पत्‍नीहरू र साना छोराछोरीहरू हताहत हुनेछन् । के हामी मिश्रमा मर्नु नै असल हुँदैनथ्यो र?

Why is the Lord taking us into this land to come to our death by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will get into strange hands: would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?

4 तिनीहरूले आपसमा भने, “अर्को अगुवा चुनौँ र मिश्रतिर फर्कौं ।”

And they said to one another, Let us make a captain over us, and go back to Egypt.

5 अनि मोशा र हारून इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका समुदायका सबै भेलाको सामु घोप्टो परे ।

Then Moses and Aaron went down on their faces before the meeting of the people.

6 त्यो भूमिको जाँचबुझ गर्न पठाइएकामध्ये केहीमा नूनका छोरा यहोशू र यपुन्‍नेका छोरा कालेबले आफ्नो लुगा च्याते ।

And Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, two of those who had been to see the land, giving signs of grief,

7 तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका सबै समुदायलाई भने, “हामीले घुमेका र जाँचबुझ गरेका मुलुक धेरै राम्रो छ ।

Said to all the children of Israel, This land which we went through to see is a very good land.

8 यदि परपप्रभु हामीसँग प्रसन्‍न हुनुहुन्छ भने, उहाँले हामीलाई यो भूमिमा लानुहुनेछ र यो हामीलाई दिनुहुनेछ । भूमिमा दूध र मह बग्छ ।

And if the Lord has delight in us, he will take us into this land and give it to us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

9 तर परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह नगर्नुहोस्, र त्यो भूमिका मानिसहरूसँग नडराउनुहोस्, किनभने तिनीहरू हाम्रा रोटी हुन् । तिनीहरूका सुरक्षा तिनीहरूबाट हटाइनेछ, किनभने परमप्रभु हामीसँग हुनुहुन्छ । तिनीहरूसँग नडराओ ।”

Only, do not go against the Lord or go in fear of the people of the land, for they will be our food; their strength has been taken from them and the Lord is with us: have no fear of them.

10 अनि सारा समुदायले तिनीहरूलाई ढुङ्गाले हान्‍ने मतो गरे । तर भेट हुने पालमा इस्राएलका सबै मानिसकहाँ परमप्रभुको महिमा देखा पर्‍यो ।

But all the people said they were to be stoned. Then the glory of the Lord was seen in the Tent of meeting, before the eyes of all the children of Israel.

11 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “यी मानिसहरूले मलाई कहिलेसम्म तिरस्कार गर्ने? मैले तिनीहरूका माझ गरेका मेरो शक्‍तिका चिन्हहरूका बाबजुद पनि तिनीहरू कहिलेसम्म ममा भरोसा गर्न चुक्छन्?

And the Lord said to Moses, How long will this people have no respect for me? how long will they be without faith, in the face of all the signs I have done among them?

12 म तिनीहरूलाई विपत्तिले प्रहार गर्नेछु र विनाश गर्नेछु अनि तेरो आफ्नै कुलबाट एउटा जाति बनाउनेछु जुन तिनीहरूभन्दा महान् र शक्‍तिशाली हुनेछ ।”

I will send disease on them for their destruction, and take away their heritage, and I will make of you a nation greater and stronger than they.

13 मोशाले परपप्रभुलाई भने, “यदि तपाईंले यसो गर्नुभयो भने, मिश्रीहरूले यसबारे सुन्‍नेछन्, किनभने तपाईंले यिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूको शक्‍तिबाट छुटकारा दिनुभयो ।

And Moses said to the Lord, Then it will come to the ears of the Egyptians; for by your power you took this people out from among them;

14 तिनीहरूले यो भूमिका मानिसहरूलाई भन्‍नेछन् । तपाईं परमप्रभु तिनीहरूसँग हुनुहुन्छ भन्‍ने तिनीहरूले सुनेका छन्, किनभने तपाईंलाई आमनेसामने देखिएको छ । तपाईंको बादल हाम्रा मानिसहरूमाथि खडा छ । तपाईं दिनमा बादलको खामो भएर र रातमा आगोको खामो भएर तिनीहरूको अघिअघि जानुहुन्छ ।

And they will give the news to the people of this land: they have had word that you, Lord, are present with this people, letting yourself be seen face to face, and that your cloud is resting over them, and that you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night.

15 यदि तपाईंले यी मानिसहरूलाई एक जना मानिसलाई झैँ मार्नुभयो भने, तपाईंको प्रसिद्धि सुन्‍ने जातिहरू बोल्नेछन् र भन्‍नेछन्,

Now if you put to death all this people as one man, then the nations who have had word of your glory will say,

16 'परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई दिन्छु भनी प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको मुलुकमा यी मानिसहरूलाई लान नसक्‍नुभएको हुनाले उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई मरुभूमिमा नै मार्नुभयो ।'

Because the Lord was not able to take this people into the land which he made an oath to give them, he sent destruction on them in the waste land.

17 म बिन्ती गर्छु, कि तपाईंको महाशक्‍ति प्रयोग गर्नुहोस् । किनभने तपाईंले भन्‍नुभएको छ,

So now, may my prayer come before you, and let the power of the Lord be great, as you said:

18 'परमप्रभु रिसाउनमा धिमा र विश्‍वनीयताको करारमा प्रशस्‍त हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले अपराध र अधर्महरू क्षमा गर्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरूमाथि तेस्रो र चौथो पुस्तासम्म पुर्खाहरूका दण्ड ल्याउनुहुँदा उहाँले दोषीहरूलाई कुनै पनि हालतमा साफ पार्नुहुन्छ ।'

The Lord is slow to wrath and great in mercy, overlooking wrongdoing and evil, and will not let wrongdoers go free; sending punishment on children for the sins of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation.

19 म तपाईंसँग बिन्ती गर्छु, कि तपाईंले यी मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरू मिश्रमा हुँदादेखि अहिलेसम्म सदैव क्षमा गर्नुभएझैँ तपाईंको करारको विश्‍वसनीयताको महान्‌ताको कारण यी मानिसहरूका पाप क्षमा गर्नुहोस् ।”

May the sin of this people have forgiveness, in the measure of your great mercy, as you have had mercy on them from Egypt up till now.

20 परपप्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “मैले तिनीहरूलाई तेरो बिन्तीअनुसार क्षमा गरेको छु,

And the Lord said, I have had mercy, as you say:

21 तर जस्तो म जीवित छु र पृथ्वी मेरो महिमाले ढाकिनेछ, मेरो महिमा र

But truly, as I am living, and as all the earth will be full of the glory of the Lord;

22 शक्‍तिका चिन्हहरू देख्‍ने ती सबै मानिस जसलाई मैले मिश्र देश र मरुभूमिमा गरेँ, तिनीहरूले मलाई दस पटकसम्म परीक्षा गरेका छन् र मेरो आवाज सुनेका छैनन् ।

Because all these men, having seen my glory and the signs which I have done in Egypt and in the waste land, still have put me to the test ten times, and have not given ear to my voice;

23 यसैले तिनीहरूले निश्‍चय नै त्यो भूमि देख्‍नेछैनन् जसबाट मैले तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूसित शपथ खाएँ । तिनीहरूमध्ये मलाई घृणा गर्ने कसैले पनि यो देख्‍नेछैन,

They will not see the land about which I made an oath to their fathers; not one of these by whom I have not been honoured will see it.

24 मेरो दास कालेबबाहेक, किनभने ऊसँग अर्कै आत्मा थियो । त्यसले मलाई पूर्ण रूपमा अनुसरण गरेको छ; म त्यसलाई त्यो जाँचबुझ गर्न गएको भूमिमा ल्याउनेछु । त्यसका सन्तानहरूले अधिकार गर्नेछन् ।

But my servant Caleb, because he had a different spirit in him, and has been true to me with all his heart, him I will take into that land into which he went, and his seed will have it for their heritage.

25 (त्यस बेला बेँसीमा अमालेकीहरू र कनानीहरू बस्थे ।) भोलि फर्की र नर्कटको समुद्र (लाल समुद्र) को बाटो हुँदै मरुभूमितिर जा ।”

Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites are in the valley; tomorrow, turning round, go into the waste land by the way to the Red Sea.

26 परमप्रभुले मोशा र हारूनलाई भन्‍नुभयो,

Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

27 “मेरो आलोचना गर्ने यो दुष्‍ट समुदायलाई मैले कहिलेसम्म सहने? इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले मेरो विरुद्ध गरेका गनगन मैले सुनेको छु ।

How long am I to put up with this evil people and their outcries against me? The words which they say against me have come to my ears.

28 तिनीहरूलाई भन्, 'जस्तो म जीवित छु,' परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'जस्तो तिमीहरूले मैले सुन्‍ने गरी भनेका छौ, मैले तिमीहरूलाई त्यस्तै गर्नेछुः

Say to them, By my life, says the Lord, as certainly as your words have come to my ears, so certainly will I do this to you:

29 मेरो विरुद्ध गनगन गर्ने तिमीहरू सबै, जनगणनामा गन्ती गरिएका तिमीहरू, बिस वर्ष र त्यसभन्दा माथिका मानिसहरू पूरै तिमीहरूका मृत शरीरहरू मरुभूमिमा पड्नेछन् ।

Your dead bodies will be stretched out in this waste land; and of all your number, all those of twenty years old and over who have been crying out against me,

30 यपुन्‍नेका छोरा लालेब र नूनका छोरा यहोशूबाहेक तिमीहरू कोही पनि निश्‍चय नै तिमीहरूको वासस्थान बनाउने प्रतिज्ञा गरेको मुलुकमा जानेछैनौ ।

Not one will come into the land which I gave my word you would have for your resting-place, but only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun.

31 हताहत हुन्छन् भनेका तिमीहरूका स-साना बालबच्‍चाहरूलाई मैले त्यो भूमिमा लानेछु । तिमीहरूले तिरस्कार गरेका भूमि तिनीहरूले उपभोग गर्नेछन् ।

And your little ones, whom you said would come into strange hands, I will take in, and they will see the land which you would not have.

32 तिमीहरूको सवालमा तिमीहरूका मृत शरीरहरू यही मरुभूमिमा पडिरहनेछन् ।

But as for you, your dead bodies will be stretched in this waste land.

33 तिमीहरूका सन्तानहरू मरुभूमिमा चालिस वर्षसम्म गोठालाहरू हुनेछन् । मरुभूमिमा तिमीहरूका लाशहरू अन्त नभएसम्म तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूका विद्रोहका कार्यहरूका नतिजाहरू भोग्‍नुपर्छ ।

And your children will be wanderers in the waste land for forty years, undergoing punishment for your false ways, till your bodies become dust in the waste land.

34 तिमीहरूले त्यो भूमिको जाँचबुझ गर्न लगाएका दिनहरूको सङ्ख्या अर्थात् चालिस दिनजस्तै, तिमीहरूले आफ्नो पापको नतिजाहरू चालिस वर्षसम्म अर्थात् एक दिनको एक वर्ष भोग्‍नुपर्छ र मेरो विरोध गर्नु कस्तो हुन्छ भनी तिमीहरूले थाहा पाउनुपर्छ ।

And as you went through the land viewing it for forty days, so for forty years, a year for every day, you will undergo punishment for your wrongdoing, and you will see that I am against you.

35 म परमप्रभुले बोलेको हुँ । मेरो विरुद्ध खडा हुने यो सबै दुष्‍ट समुदायमाथि म निश्‍चय नै यो गर्नेछु । तिनीहरू पूर्ण रूपमा नष्‍ट हुनेछन् र तिनीहरू यहीँ मर्नेछन् ।”

I the Lord have said it, and this I will certainly do to all this evil people who have come together against me: in this waste land destruction will come on them, and death will be their fate.

36 यसैले मोशाले भूमिको जासूस गर्न पठाएकाहरू जो फर्के र जसले भूमिबारे खराब खबर फैलाएर मोशा विरुद्ध सारा समुदायलाई गनगन गर्न लगाउने मानिसहरू थिए अर्थात्

And the men whom Moses sent to see the land, and who, by the bad account they gave of the land, were the cause of the outcry the people made against Moses,

37 भूमिबारे खराब खबर ल्याउने यी मानिसहरूलाई प्रहार गरियो र तिनीहरू परमप्रभुको सामु महामारीले मरे ।

Those same men who said evil of the land, came to their death by disease before the Lord.

38 भूमिको जासूस गर्न गएकाहरूमध्ये नूनका छोरा यहोशू र यपुन्‍नेका छोरा कालेब मात्र जीवित रहे ।

But Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, of those who went to see the land, were not touched by disease.

39 जब मोशाले इस्राएलका मानिसलाई यी कुराहरू बताए, तिनीहरूले गम्भीर रूपमा विलाप गरे ।

And when Moses put these words before the children of Israel, the people were full of grief.

40 तिनीहरू बिहान सबेरै उठे र पहाडको चुचुरोमा गए, र भने, “हेर, हामी यहाँ छौँ, र हामी परमप्रभुले प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको ठाउँतिर जानेछौँ, किनभने हामीले पाप गरेका छौँ ।”

And early in the morning they got up and went to the top of the mountain, saying, We are here and we will go up to the place which the Lord said he would give us: for we have done wrong.

41 तर मोशाले भने, “तिमीहरू परमप्रभुको आज्ञा किन तोड्छौ? तिमीहरू सफल हुनेछेनौ ।

And Moses said, Why are you now acting against the Lord's order, seeing that no good will come of it?

42 नजाओ, किनभने तिमीहरूलाई तिमीहरूका शत्रुहरूबाट पराजित हुनलाई बचाउन परमप्रभु तिमीहरूसँग हुनुहुन्‍न ।

Go not up, for the Lord is not with you, and you will be overcome by those who are fighting against you.

43 त्यहाँ अमालेकीहरू र कनानीहरू छन्, र तिमीहरू तरवारद्वारा मर्नेछौ, किनभने तिमीहरू परमप्रभुलाई अनुसरण गर्नबाट तर्किएका छौ । यसैले उहाँ तिमीहरूसँग हुनुहुनेछैन ।”

For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you will be put to death by their swords: because you have gone back from the way of the Lord, the Lord will not be with you.

44 तर तिनीहरूले पहाडी देशतिर जाने दम्भ गरे; तथापि, न त मोशा न त परमप्रभुको सन्दूकले छाउनी छोडे ।

But they gave no attention to his words and went to the top of the mountain, though Moses and the ark of the Lord's agreement did not go out of the tent-circle.

45 त्यसपछि अमालेकीहरू ओर्लेर आए, र कनानीहरू पनि जो ती पहाडहरूमा बस्थे । तिनीहरूले इस्राएलीहरूलाई आक्रमण गरे र तिनीहरूलाई होर्मासम्म नै खेदेर पराजित गरे ।

Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites who were living in the hill-country, and overcame them completely, driving them back as far as Hormah.
