गन्ती 16
1 लेवीका पनाति, कहातका नाति, यिसहारका छोरा कोरहसाथै रूबेनका कुलका एलीआबका छोराहरू दातान र अबीराम अनि पेलेथका छोराले केही मानिसहरू भेला गरे ।
One day Korah, who was the son of Izhar and a descendant of Levi’s son Kohath, conspired with Dathan and Abiram, who were the sons of Eliab, and On, who was the son of Peleth. Those three men were from the tribe of Reuben.
2 तिनीहरू, इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका अन्य मानिसहरूसँगै दुई सय पचास समुदायका अगुवाहरू जो नाम चलेका सदस्यहरू थिए, मोशाको विरुद्धा खडा भए ।
Korah and those other three men incited 250 other people who were leaders among the Israeli people to join them in rebelling against Moses/me.
3 तिनीहरू मोशा र हारूनको सामना गर्न आफै भेला भए । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई भने, “तपाईंहरूले अति गर्नुभयो! सबै समुदाय, तिनीहरूमध्ये हरेकलाई नै अलग गरिएको छ र परमप्रभु तिनीहरूसँग छन् । किन आफैलाई परमप्रभुको समुदायभन्दा माथि उठाउनुहुन्छ?”
They came together to criticize Aaron and Moses/me. They said to them/us, “You two are using more [authority] than you should! Yahweh has set apart all of us Israeli people, and he is with/helping all of us. So why do you act as though you are more important than the rest of us people who belong to Yahweh [RHQ]?”
4 जब मोशाले त्यो सुने, तिनी घोप्टो परे ।
When Moses/I heard what they were saying, he/I prostrated himself/myself on the ground.
5 तिनले कोरह र उनका साथमा भएकाहरूलाई भने, “को उहाँका हुन् र कसलाई उहाँको निम्ति अलग गरिएको छ भनी परमप्रभुले बिहान देखाउनुहुने छ । त्यस व्यक्तिलाई उहाँले उहाँको नजिक ल्याउनुहुने छ । उहाँले चुन्नुभएकोलाई आफैले आफ्नो नजिक ल्याउनुहुने छ ।
Then he/I said to Korah and those [Israeli leaders] who were with Korah, “Tomorrow morning Yahweh will show us whom he has chosen to be his [priest], and who is holy and allowed to come near to him. Yahweh will permit [only] those whom he chooses to come into his presence.
6 कोरह र तिम्रा सबै समूहले यो गर । धुपौराहरू लेओ ।
So Korah, tomorrow you and those who are with you must prepare your pans to burn incense.
7 भोलि त्यसमा परमप्रभुको सामु धूप र आगो राख । परमप्रभुले चुन्नुहुने मानिसलाई उहाँको निम्ति अलग गरिनेछ । तिमी लेवीका सन्तानहरू अति धेरै भएका छौ ।”
Then you must light a fire in them and burn the incense in the presence of Yahweh. Then we will see which one of us Yahweh has chosen to be his holy servant. It is you men who are descendants of Levi who are trying to use more [authority] than you should!”
8 फेरि मोशाले कोरहलाई भने, “सुन, तिमी लेवीका सन्तानहरूः
Then Moses/I spoke again to Korah. He/I said, “You men who are descendants of Levi, listen to me!
9 के परमप्रभुको पवित्र वासस्थानमा काम गर्न र समुदायको सेवा गर्न तिनीहरूको सामु खडा हुन इस्राएलको समुदायबाट तिमीहरूलाई छुट्ट्याएको तिमीहरूको निम्ति सानो कुरा हो?
The God of us Israelis has chosen all of you to be close to him in order that you can work for him at his Sacred Tent and serve the people. (Is that unimportant/Does that mean nothing) to you [RHQ]?
10 उहाँले तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका सबै दाजुभाइ, लेवीका सन्तानहरूलाई तिमीहरूसँगै नजिक ल्याउनुभएको छ, अझै तिमीहरूले पुजारी पद पनि खोजिरहेका छौ!
Yahweh has brought you, [Korah], and your fellow descendants of Levi, near to himself. Now are you demanding to become priests also?
11 यसैले तिमी र तिमीहरूका सबै समूह सँगसँगै भेला भएका छौ । त्यसैले तिमीहरूले किन हारूनको बारेमा गनगन गरिरहेका छौ, जसले परमप्रभुको आज्ञा पालन गर्छन्?
It is really Yahweh against whom you and your fellow descendants of Levi are rebelling. Aaron is not the one about whom you are really complaining [RHQ].”
12 त्यसपछि मोशाले दातान र अबीराम, एलीआबका छोराहरूलाई बोलाए । तर तिनीहरूले भने, “हामी आउँदैनौँ ।
Then Moses/I summoned Dathan and Abiram, but [they refused to come]. They [sent a message] saying, “We will not come to you!
13 के हामीलाई दूध र मह बग्ने मुलुकबाट यो मरुभूमिमा मार्नलाई ल्याउनु मामुलि कुरा हो? अब तपाईं आफै हाम्रो शासक हुन चाहन्छ!
You brought us out of Egypt, which was a very fertile [IDM] land, in order to cause us to die here in this desert. That was bad. But now you are also trying to boss us [RHQ], and that is worse.
14 यसको अतिरिक्त, तपाईंले हामीलाई दूध र मह बग्ने मुलुकमा ल्याउनुभएको छैन अथवा हामीलाई खेत र दाखबारीहरू उत्तराधिकारको रूपमा दिनुभएको छैन । के अब हामीलाई खोक्रो प्रतिज्ञाले अन्धा बनाउन चाहनुहुन्छ? हामी तपाईंकहाँ आउँदैनौँ ।”
You have not given us a new land to live in, a land that has good fields and vineyards. You are only trying to [RHQ] trick these people. So we will not come to you.”
15 मोशा साह्रै रिसाए र परमप्रभुलाई भने, “तिनीहरूको भेटीको कदर नगर्नुहोस् । मैले तिनीहरूबाट एउटा गधा पनि लिएको छैनँ, र मैले तिनीहरू कसैलाई पनि हानि पुर्याएको छैनँ ।
Then Moses/I became very angry. He/I said to Yahweh, “Do not accept the grain offerings that they have brought. I have not taken anything from them, not even one donkey, and I have never done anything wrong to them, [so they have no reason to complain about me].”
16 मोशाले कोरहलाई भने, “भोलि तिमी र तिम्रा सबै दल अर्थात् तिमी, तिनीहरू र हारून परमप्रभुको सामु जानुपर्छ । तिमीहरू हरेकले आ-आफ्ना धुपौरा लिनुपर्छ र यसमा धूप राख्नुपर्छ ।
Then Moses/I said to Korah, “You and all those who are with you must come here tomorrow and stand in front of Yahweh. Aaron will also be here.
17 अनि हरेकले आ-आफ्ना दुई सय पचासवटा धुपौरा परमप्रभुको सामु ल्याउनुपर्छ । तिमी र हारूनले पनि आ-आफ्ना धुपौरा ल्याउनुपर्छ ।”
You and all the 250 men who are with you must each take a pan in which to burn incense, and put incense in it, to [burn it to be] an offering to Yahweh. Aaron will do the same thing.”
18 यसैले हरेकले आ-आफ्ना धुपौरा लिए, यसमा आगो राखे, यसमा धूप राखे र मोशा र हारूनसँगै भेट हुने पालको प्रवेश-द्वारमा खडा भए ।
So [the next day] each of those men got a pan to burn incense. They put in it incense and hot coals to light it, and then they all stood at the entrance of the Sacred Tent with Aaron and Moses/me.
19 कोरहले सारा समुदायलाई मोशा र हारूनको विरुद्धमा भेट हुने पालको प्रवेश-द्वारमा भेला पारे र परमप्रभुको महिमा सारा समुदायकहाँ देखा पर्यो ।
Then Korah summoned all the people who supported him and who were against Moses/me, and they also gathered at the entrance of the tent. Then the glory of Yahweh appeared to all of them/us,
20 परमप्रभु मोशा र हारूनसँग बोल्नुभयो,
and Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
21 “यस समुदायबाट अलग होओ, ताकि म तिनीहरूलाई तत्कालै विनाश गर्न सकौँ ।”
“Get away from all these people, in order that I can get rid of them immediately!”
22 मोशा र हारून घोप्टो परे र भने, “हे परमेश्वर, सारा मानव-जातिको आत्माका परमेश्वर, एक जनाले पाप गर्दा, के तपाईं सबै समुदायसँग रिसाउनुहुन्छ?”
But Aaron and Moses/I prostrated themselves/ourselves on the ground. We pleaded with Yahweh, saying, “God, you are the one who caused all these people to live [MTY]. Only one of these men has sinned; so, (is it right for you to be angry with all the people?/it is not right for you to be angry with all the people!) [RHQ]”
23 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई जवाफ दिनुभयो,
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
24 “समुदायलाई भन् । 'कोरह, दातान र अबीरामका पालहरूबाट पर जाओ' भन् ।”
“[Okay], but tell all the people to get away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”
25 अनि मोशा खडा भए र दातान र अबीरामको पालमा गए; इस्राएलका धर्म-गुरुहरू तिनको पछि-पछि गए ।
So Moses/I stood up and went to the tents of Dathan and Abiram. The Israeli leaders followed him/me.
26 तिनले समुदायलाई यसो भने, “यी दुष्टहरूका पालहरूबाट हट र तिनीहरूको कुनै पनि कुरा नछोओ नत्रता तिनीहरूका सबै पापद्वारा नष्ट हुनेछौ ।”
He/I told the people, “Get away from the tents of these wicked men, and do not touch anything that belongs to them! If you touch anything, you will die because of their sins!”
27 यसैले कोरह, दातान र अबीरामका पाल वरिपरिका समुदायले तिनीहरूलाई छोडे । दातान र अबीराम तिनीहरूका पत्नीहरू, छोराहरू र स-साना बालबालिकाहरूसहित तिनीहरूका पालको प्रवेश-द्वारमा खडा भए ।
So all the people moved away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram came out of their tents with their wives and children and babies, and stood at the entrances of their tents.
28 मोशाले भने, “यसैद्वारा यी सबै थोक गर्न मलाई परमप्रभुले पठाउनुभएको छ भन्ने तिमीहरूले जान्नेछौ, किनभने मैले तिनीहरू मेरो आफ्नै इच्छामा गरेको छैन ।
Then Moses/I said, “I was not the one who decided to do all these things that I have done. It was Yahweh who [chose me and] sent me to do them. And now he will prove that to you.
29 यदि यी मानिसहरू सामान्य रूपमा हुने स्वाभाविक मृत्युद्वारा मर्छन् भने, मलाई परमप्रभुले पठाउनुभएको होइन ।
If these men die in a normal way, then it will be clear that Yahweh did not choose me.
30 तर यदि परमप्रभुले कुनै नयाँ कुरा सृजना गर्नुहुन्छ, धर्तीले आफ्नो मुख उघार्छ र तिनीहरूसाथै तिनीहरूका सबै थोकलाई निल्छ, र तिनीहरू जिउँदै चिहानभित्र जान्छन् भने, यी मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुलाई तिरस्कार गरेका छन् भनी तिमीहरूले बुझ्नुपर्छ ।” (Sheol h7585)
But if Yahweh does something that has never happened before, if he causes the ground [that is under their feet] to open up and swallow these men [and their families] and all their possessions, and they fall into the opening and are buried while they are still alive, then you will know that these men have insulted Yahweh.” (Sheol h7585)
31 मोशाले यी कुराहरू भनी सिद्ध्याउने बित्तिकै ती मानिसहरूमुनिको जमिन फाट्यो ।
As soon as Moses/I said this, the ground split open beneath those men.
32 धर्तीले यसको मुख उघार्यो अनि तिनीहरूका परिवारहरू र कोरहसँग भएका सबै मानिसहरूसाथै तिनीहरूका सबै थोकलाई निल्यो ।
It swallowed them and their families and all those who were standing there with Korah and all of their possessions.
33 यसैले तिनीहरू र तिनीहरूसँग भएका सबै थोक जिउँदै चिहानभित्र लगिए । धर्ती तिनीहरूमाथि बन्द भयो, र तिनीहरू समुदायबाट नष्ट भए । (Sheol h7585)
They fell into the opening in the ground while they were still alive, and all their possessions fell into the opening also. They disappeared, and the ground closed back up again. (Sheol h7585)
34 तिनीहरूका वरिपरि भएका इस्राएलीहरू चिच्च्याउँदै भागे । तिनीहरू, “धर्तीले हामीलाई पनि निल्ने भो!” भन्दै चिच्च्याए ।
They screamed as they fell, and all the people who were standing nearby heard them scream. The people [were terrified and] cried out as they ran away, saying, “[We do not want] the ground to swallow us also!”
35 अनि परमप्रभुबाट आगोको ज्वाला निस्क्यो र धूप बालेका २५० जना मानिसलाई नष्ट गर्यो ।
And then a fire from Yahweh came down [from the sky] and burned up the 250 men who were burning the incense!
36 फेरि परमप्रभु मोशासँग बोल्नुभयो,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
37 “पुजारी हारूनका छोरा एलाजारलाई भन् र त्यसले धुपौराहरूलाई आगोबाट निकालोस्, किनभने धुपौराहरू मेरा निम्ति अलग गरिएका छन् । त्यसले बलिरहेका आगोका फिलुङ्गाहरूलाई छरोस् ।
“Tell Aaron’s son Eleazar to take the pans that had incense in them away from the fire and to scatter the burning coals. The pans that those men [were carrying] are (holy/dedicated to me) [because they burned incense to me in them].
38 आफ्नो पापको कारण जीवन गुमाउनेहरूको धुपौराहरू ले । तिनीहरूलाई पिटेर वेदीलाई मोहर्ने पाताहरू बनाइयोस् । ती मानिसहरूले तिनीहरूलाई मेरो निम्ति अर्पण गरे । यसैले तिनीहरूलाई मेरो निम्ति अलग गर । तिनीहरू इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका निम्ति मेरो उपस्थितिको चिन्ह हुने छन् ।
Those men have now died because of their sin; so [Eleazar must] take their pans and hammer the metal to make it become very thin. He must make a covering for the altar with that metal. Those pans were used to offer incense to me, so they are (holy/dedicated to me). [What happened to] those pans will now warn the Israeli people.”
39 पुजारी एलाजारले आगोले नष्ट भएका मानिसहरूले प्रयोग गरेका काँसाका धुपौराहरू लिए र
So Eleazar the priest collected the 250 pans for burning incense that had been used by the men who died in the fire. He hammered the pans very thin to make a covering for the altar, as Yahweh told Moses/me should be done.
40 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई याद दिलाउने कुरा हुनलाई तिनीहरूलाई पिटेर वेदी मोहर्ने बनाइयो, परमप्रभुको सामु धूप बाल्न ताकि हारूनका सन्तान बाहिर कोही पनि नआओस् र परमप्रभुले मोशालाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ तिनीहरू कोरह र तिनका समूहजस्ता नहोऊन् ।
That warned the Israeli people that only those who were descendants of Aaron were permitted to burn incense for an offering to Yahweh. If anyone else did that, the same thing that happened to Korah and those who were with him would happen to them.
41 तर अर्को बिहान इस्राएलका सबै मानिसको समुदायले मोशा र हारून विरुद्ध गनगन गरे । तिनीहरूले भने, “तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुका मानिसहरूलाई मारेका छौ ।”
But the following morning, all the Israeli people started to complain against Aaron and Moses/me, saying “You have killed many people who belonged to Yahweh!”
42 समुदाय मोशा र हारूनको विरुद्ध भेला हुँदा तिनीहरूले भेट हुने पालतिर हेरे अनि हेर! यसलाई बादलले ढाकिरहेको थियो । परमप्रभुका महिमा देखा पर्यो,
When all the people gathered together to protest about what Aaron and Moses/I had done, they looked at the Sacred Tent and saw that the sacred cloud had covered it, and the glory of Yahweh had appeared.
43 र मोशा र हारून भेट हुने पालको अघि आए ।
Aaron and Moses/I went and stood in front of the Sacred Tent.
44 अनि परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
45 “यो समुदायबाट गइहाल् ताकि मैले तिनीहरूलाई अहिलै नष्ट पार्न सकौँ ।” अनि मोशा र हारून जमिनमा घोप्टो परे ।
“Get away from these people, in order that I can get rid of them immediately [without injuring you two]!” But Aaron and Moses/I prostrated themselves/ourselves on the ground [and prayed].
46 मोशाले हारूनलाई भने, “धुपौरा लिनुहोस्, वेदीबाट यसमा आगो हाल्नुहोस्, यसमा धूप हाल्नुहोस्, यसलाई समुदायकहाँ छिटो लानुहोस् र तिनीहरूका निम्ति प्रायश्चित्त गर्नुहोस्, किनभने परमप्रभुको क्रोध आइरहेको छ । विपत्ति सुरु भएको छ ।
Moses/I said to Aaron, “Quickly take another pan and put in it some burning/hot coals from the altar. Put incense in the pan, and carry it out among the people to atone for the sins of the people. Yahweh is very angry with them, and [I know that] a (severe plague/bad sickness) has already started among them.”
47 यसैले हारूले मोशाले अह्राएबमोजिम गरे । तिनी समुदायको बिचमा दौडेर गए । विपत्ति मानिसहरूबिच फैलिन थालेको थियो, यसैले तिनले धूप राखे र मानिसहरूका निम्ति प्रायश्चित्त गरे ।
So Aaron did what Moses/I told him. He took the burning incense out among the people. The plague had already started to strike the people, but Aaron continued to burn the incense so that God would forgive them for the sins they had committed.
48 हारून जीवित र मृतकहरूका बिचमा खडा भए । यसरी विपत्ति रोकियो ।
He stood between the people who had already died and those who were still alive, and then the plague stopped.
49 कोरहको विषयमा पनि मरेका अतिरिक्त विपत्तिमा मर्नेहरूको सङ्ख्या १४,७०० थियो ।
But 14,700 people had already died from that plague/sickness, in addition to the people who died with Korah.
50 हारून भेट हुने पालको प्रवेश-द्वारमा मोशाकहाँ फर्केर आए र विपत्ति रोकियो ।
Then after the plague had ended, Aaron and Moses/I returned to the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
