गन्ती 17
1 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो,
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 “इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई भन् र तिनीहरूबाट हरेक कुलको निम्ति एउटा-एउटा गरी बाह्रवटा लहुरो ले । हरेक मानिसको लहुरोमा आ-आफ्नो नाउँ लेख् ।
Say to the children of Israel that they are to give you rods, one for every family, for every chief, the head of his father's house, making twelve rods; let every man's name be placed on his rod.
3 लेवीको लहुरोमा तैँले हारूनको नाउँ लेख्नुपर्छ । आ-आफ्नो कुलबाट हरेक अगुवाको निम्ति एउटा लहुरो हुनुपर्छ ।
And let Aaron's name be placed on the rod of Levi: for there is to be one rod for the head of every family.
4 तैँले ती लहुरोहरूलाई करारको गवाही-पाटीको सामु भेट हुने पालमा राख्नुपर्छ, जहाँ मैले तँलाई भेट्छु ।
And let them be stored up in the Tent of meeting, in front of the ark of witness where I come to you.
5 मैले चुनेको मानिसको लहुरो टुसाउनेछ । म इस्राएलका मानिसको गनगन बन्द गराउनेछु, जुन तेरो विरुद्ध भइरहेको छ ।”
And the rod of that man who is marked out by me for myself will have buds on it; so I will put a stop to the outcries which the children of Israel make to me against you.
6 यसैले मोशाले मानिसहरूलाई भने । सबै कुलनायकले हरेक अगुवाको निम्ति एउटा लहुरो दिए । कुलहरूबाट छानेर बाह्रवटा लहुरो तिनलाई दिइयो । तिनीहरूका माझमा हारूनको लहुरो पनि थियो ।
So Moses gave these orders to the children of Israel, and all their chiefs gave him rods, one for the head of every family, making twelve rods: and Aaron's rod was among them.
7 त्यसपछि मोशाले लहुरोहरूलाई गवाही-पाटीको पालमा परमप्रभुको सामु राखे ।
And Moses put the rods before the Lord in the Tent of witness.
8 अर्को दिन मोशा गवाही-पाटी भएको पालमा गए, हेर! लेवी कुलका हारूनको लहुरोमा कोपिला लागेको रहेछ । यसमा कोपिला लगेको थियो, फूल फुलेको थियो र हाडे-बदाम पाकेको थियो!
Now on the day after, Moses went into the Tent of witness; and he saw that Aaron's rod, the rod of the house of Levi, had put out buds, and was covered with buds and flowers and fruit.
9 मोशाले ती सबै लहुरालाई इस्राएलका मानिसको सामु ल्याए र सबैले आ-आफ्नो लहुरो लिए ।
Then Moses took out all the rods from before the Lord, and gave them back to the children of Israel: and they saw them, and every man took his rod.
10 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “हारूनको लहुरो गवाही-पाटीको सामु राख् । यसलाई विद्रोह गर्ने मानिसहरूको विरुद्ध दोषको चिन्हको रूपमा राख् । यसरी तैँले मेरो विरुद्ध तिनीहरूको गनगन अन्त गर्नेछस् नत्रता तिनीहरू मर्नेछन् ।”
And the Lord said to Moses, Put Aaron's rod back in front of the ark of witness, to be kept for a sign against this false-hearted people, so that you may put a stop to their outcries against me, and death may not overtake them.
11 मोशाले परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम गरे ।
This Moses did: as the Lord gave orders, so he did.
12 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले मोशालाई भने, “यहाँ हामी मर्नेभयौँ! हामी सबै नष्ट हुनेभयौ!
And the children of Israel said to Moses, Truly, destruction has come on us; an evil fate has overtaken us all.
13 परमप्रभुको पवित्र वासस्थान नजिक आउने हरेक मर्ने छ । के हामी पनि मर्नुपर्छ?”
Death will overtake everyone who comes near, who comes near the House of the Lord: are we all to come to destruction?
