गन्ती 14

1 त्यस रात सारा समुदाय ठुलो आवाज निकालेर रोए ।

And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.

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 murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said to them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!

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

And why has the LORD brought us to this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?

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

And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.

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

Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

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, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:

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

And they spoke to all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.

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

If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which flows 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 rebel not you against the LORD, neither fear you the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.

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

But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before 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 provoke me? and how long will it be before they believe me, for all the signs which I have showed 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 smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a greater nation and mightier 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 the Egyptians shall hear it, (for you brought up this people in your might 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 tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that you LORD are among this people, that you LORD are seen face to face, and that your cloud stands over them, and that you go before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, 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 shall kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,

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 bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.

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

And now, I beseech you, let the power of my LORD be great, according as you have spoken, saying,

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 long-suffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children 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 ।”

Pardon, I beseech you, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your mercy, and as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.

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

And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to your word:

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

But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with 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 those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not listened 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,

Surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me 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 another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into where he went; and his seed shall possess it.

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 dwelled in the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.

26 परमप्रभुले मोशा र हारूनलाई भन्‍नुभयो,

And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

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

How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.

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

Say to them, As truly as I live, says the LORD, as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do 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 carcasses shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me.

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

Doubtless you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore to make you dwell therein, save 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 ।

But your little ones, which you said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which you have despised.

32 तिमीहरूको सवालमा तिमीहरूका मृत शरीरहरू यही मरुभूमिमा पडिरहनेछन् ।

But as for you, your carcasses, they shall fall in this wilderness.

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

And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your prostitutions, until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness.

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 ।

After the number of the days in which you searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall you bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you shall know my breach of promise.

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, I will surely do it to all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.

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, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander on the land,

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

Even those men that did bring up the evil report on the land, died by the plague 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, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.

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

And Moses told these sayings to all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.

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 they rose up early in the morning, and got them up into the top of the mountain, saying, See, we be here, and will go up to the place which the LORD has promised: for we have sinned.

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

And Moses said, Why now do you transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.

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

Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that you be not smitten before your enemies.

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 shall fall by the sword: because you are turned away from the LORD, therefore 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 presumed to go up to the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.

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 which dwelled in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even to Hormah.
