गन्ती 18

1 परमप्रभुले हारूनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तँ, तेरा छोराहरू र तेरा वंशकाहरू पवित्र स्थान विरुद्ध गरिने सबै पापका निम्ति जिम्मेवार हुनेछौ । तर पुजारीको पदमा कसैले गरेको सबै पापको निम्ति तँ र तेरा छोराहरू मात्र जिम्मेवार हुनेछौ ।

And YHWH says to Aaron, “You, and your sons, and the house of your father with you, bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and you and your sons with you bear the iniquity of your priesthood;

2 लेवी कुलका अर्थात् तेरा पुर्खाका वंशका तेरा सङ्गी सदस्यहरूको सवालमा, तिनीहरूलाई तँसँगै ले अनि तँ र तेरा छोराहरूले गवाही-पाटीको पालको सम्मुख सेवा गर्दा तिनीहरू सहभागी होऊन् र तिमीहरूलाई सहायता गरून् ।

and also your brothers, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, bring near with you, and they are joined to you, and serve you, even you and your sons with you, before the Tent of the Testimony.

3 तिनीहरूले तेरो र सारा पालको सेवा गर्नुपर्छ ।

And they have kept your charge, and the charge of all the tent; only, they do not come near to the vessels of the holy place and to the altar, and they do not die, either they or you;

4 तथापि, तिनीहरू पवित्र स्थान वा वेदीसँग सम्बन्धित कुनै थोकको नजिक आउनुहुँदैन नत्रता तिनीहरू र तँ मर्नेछौ । तिनीहरू पालसँग सम्बन्धित सबै किसिमका कामकाजको निम्ति तिमीहरूसँग सहभागी हुनुपर्छ र भेट हुने पालको देखरेख गर्नुपर्छ । कुनै पनि परदेशी तिमीहरूको नजिक आउनुहुँदैन ।

and they have been joined to you and have kept the charge of the Tent of Meeting for all the service of the tent; and a stranger does not come near to you;

5 पवित्र स्थान र वेदीको निम्ति तैँले जिम्मा लिनुपर्छ, ताकि इस्राएलका मानिसहरूमाथि मेरो क्रोध फेरि नआओस् ।

and you have kept the charge of the holy place and the charge of the altar, and there is no more wrath against the sons of Israel.

6 हेर्, लेवीहरूका तेरा सङ्गी सदस्यहरूलाई इस्राएलका सन्तानहरूबाट म आफैले चुनेको छु । तिनीहरू भेट हुने पालसँग सम्बन्धित काम गर्न मलाई दिइएका तेरो निम्ति उपहार हुन् ।

And I, behold, have taken your brothers the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel; they are a gift given to you by YHWH to do the service of the Tent of Meeting;

7 तर वेदी र पर्दाभित्र भएका सबै थोकसित सम्बन्धि पुजारीको काम तँ र तेरा छोराहरूले मात्र गर्न सक्छस् । ती दायित्वहरू तँ आफैले पुरा गर्नुपर्छ । पुजारीको पद मैले तँलाई उपहारको रूपमा दिइरहेको छु । नजिक आउने कुनै पनि परदेशीलाई मार्नुपर्छ ।”

and you and your sons with you keep your priesthood for everything of the altar and within the veil, and you have served; I make your priesthood a gift [for] service; and the stranger who is coming near is put to death.”

8 परप्रभुले हारूनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “हेर्, मलाई चढाइने बलिदानहरू र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले मलाई दिने पवित्र भेटीहरू सम्भाल्ने जिम्मा मैले तँलाई दिएको छु ।

And YHWH speaks to Aaron: “And I, behold, have given to you the charge of My raised-offerings, of all the hallowed things of the sons of Israel—I have given them to you and to your sons for the anointing, by a continuous statute.

9 मैले यी बलिहरू तँलाई र तेरा छोराहरूलाई अनवरत हिस्साको रूपमा दिएको छु । आगोमा जलाउनबाट बचेका यी थोकहरू तेरा हुने छन् । हरेक अन्‍नबलि, पापबलि र दोषबलिजस्ता तिनीहरूका हरेक बलिबाट तिनीहरू तँलाई र तेरा छोराहरूलाई अलग गरिएका हुन् ।

This is yours from the most holy things, from the fire: all their offering, of all their present, and of all their sin-offering, and of all their guilt-offering, which they give back to Me, is most holy to you and to your sons;

10 यी बलिहरू अति पवित्र छन् । हरेक पुरुषले यो खानुपर्छ, किनभने तिनीहरू तिमीहरूका निम्ति पवित्र छन् ।

you eat it among the most holy things; every male eats it; it is holy to you.

11 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका डोलाइने बलिको रूपमा तिनीहरूका सबै उपहारबाट अलग गरिएका यी सबै बलि तेरा हुने छन् । मैले ती तँलाई, तेरा छोराहरू र तेरा छोरीहरूका निम्ति तिमीहरूको सदाको निम्ति अंशको रूपमा दिएको छु । तेरा परिवारका विधिवत् रूपमा शुद्ध हुने सबैले यी बलिहरूबाट खान सक्छन् ।

And this [is] yours: the raised-offering of their gift, with all the wave-offerings of the sons of Israel; I have given them to you, and to your sons, and to your daughters with you, by a continuous statute; every clean one in your house eats it;

12 मानिसहरूले मलाई दिने तेल, नयाँ दाखमद्य र अन्‍नको उत्तम भाग, पहिलो फल यी सबै मैले तँलाई दिएको छु ।

all the best of the oil, and all the best of the new wine, and wheat—their first-[fruits] which they give to YHWH—I have given them to you.

13 तिनीहरूले मकहाँ ल्याउने तिनीहरूका भूमिको पहिलो पाकेको फल तेरो हुने छ । तेरा परिवारका शुद्ध हुने सबैले यी थोकहरूबाट खान सक्छन् ।

The first-fruits of all that [is] in their land, which they bring to YHWH, are yours; every clean one in your house eats it;

14 इस्राएलमा अर्पण गरिएका सबै थोक तेरा हुने छन् ।

every devoted thing in Israel is yours;

15 मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुलाई अर्पण गर्ने मानिस र पशु दुवैका गर्भ खोल्ने पहिलो जन्मेकाहरू सबै तेरै हुने छन् । तथापि, मानिसहरूले जेठा छोरालाई किनेर फिर्ता लिनुपर्छ र तिनीहरूले अशुद्ध पशुहरूका पहिलो जन्मेकाहरूलाई किनेर फिर्ता गर्नुपर्छ ।

everyone opening a womb of all flesh which they bring near to YHWH, among man and among beast, is yours; only, you certainly ransom the firstborn of man, and you ransom the firstling of the unclean beast.

16 मानिसहरूले किनेर फिर्ता लिनुपर्नेहरूलाई एक महिनाको भएपछि किनेर फिर्ता गर्नुपर्छ । त्यसपछि मानिसहरूले पवित्र स्थानको शेकेलको तौलको मापदण्डअनुसार पाँच शेकेल तिरेर फिर्ता लिन सक्छन् । बिस गेराको एक शेकेल हुन्छ ।

And their ransomed ones from a son of a month, you ransom with your valuation [for] five shekels of silver, by the shekel of the holy place; it [is] twenty gerahs.

17 तर गाईको पहिले जन्‍मेको बाछो वा भेडा वा बाख्राको पहिले जन्मेको पाठोलाई तिमीहरूले किनेर फिर्ता लिनुहुँदैन; ती मेरो निम्ति अलग गरिएका छन् । तिनीहरूका रगत वेदीमाथि छर्कनुपर्छ र तिनीहरूका बोसो आगोद्वारा चढाइएको परमप्रभुलाई मनपर्ने सुगन्धित बलिको जलाउनुपर्छ ।

Only, the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, you do not ransom, they [are] holy: you sprinkle their blood on the altar, and you make incense of their fat [as] a fire-offering of refreshing fragrance to YHWH;

18 तिनीहरूका मासु तेरो हुने छ । डोलाइएको ह्याकुलो र दाहिने साँप्रोझैँ तिनीहरूका मासु तेरो हुने छ ।

and their flesh is yours, as the breast of the wave-offering and as the right leg are yours.

19 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुलाई चढाएका सबै पवित्र बलि निरन्तरको अंशको रूपमा मैले तँलाई, तेरा छोराहरू र छोरीहरूलाई दिएको छु । यो तेरो र तेरा सन्तानहरू दुवैको निम्ति परमप्रभुको सामु अनन्तको बाध्यकारी करार अर्थात् नूनको अनन्त करार हो ।”

All the raised-offerings of the holy things, which the sons of Israel lift up to YHWH, I have given to you, and to your sons, and to your daughters with you, by a continuous statute—a covenant of salt; it [is] continuous before YHWH to you and to your seed with you.”

20 परमप्रभुले हारूनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “मानिसहरूको जग्गा-जमिनमा तेरो कुनै उत्तराधिकार हुनेछैन, न त मानिसहरूको सम्पत्तिमा कुनै हिस्सा हुने छ । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूमा म नै तेरो हिस्सा र उत्तराधिकार हुँ ।

And YHWH says to Aaron, “You do not inherit in their land, and you do not have a portion in their midst: I [am] your portion and your inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel;

21 हेर्, लेवीका सन्तानहरूले भेट हुने पालमा काम गरे बापत मैले तिनीहरूलाई इस्राएलका दशांश सेवाको सट्टामा दिएको छु ।

and to the sons of Levi, behold, have given all the tenth in Israel for inheritance in exchange for their service which they are serving—the service of the Tent of Meeting.

22 आज उप्रान्त इस्राएलका मानिसहरू भेट हुने पालको नजिक आउनुहुँदैन, नत्रता तिनीहरू यो पापको निम्ति जिम्मेवार हुने छन् र मर्नेछन् ।

And the sons of Israel no longer come near to the Tent of Meeting, to bear sin, to die,

23 लेवीहरूले भेट हुने पालसँग सम्बन्धित कामहरू गर्नुपर्छ । यससँग सम्बन्धित कुनै पापको जिम्मेवार तिनीहरू हुने छन् । यो तिमीहरूका मानिसहरूका पुस्तौँ-पुस्तासम्मको स्थायी नियम हुने छ । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका माझ तिनीहरूको कुनै उत्तराधिकार हुनुहुँदैन ।

and the Levites have done the service of the Tent of Meeting, and they bear their iniquity; [it is] a continuous statute throughout your generations that they have no inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel;

24 मेरो निम्ति योगदानको रूपमा तिनीहरूले चढाएका इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको दशांश मैले लेवीहरूलाई तिनीहरूको उत्तराधिकारको रूपमा दिएको छु । यसैले मैले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भनेँ, 'इस्राएलका मानिसहरूमाझ तिनीहरूको कुनै उत्तराधिकार हुनुहुँदैन ।”

but the tithe of the sons of Israel which they lift up to YHWH, a raised-offering, I have given to the Levites for inheritance; therefore I have said of them, They have no inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel.”

25 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

26 “तिमीहरूले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूबाट दशांश प्राप्‍त गर्दा जुन मैले तिमीहरूको उत्तराधिकार हुनको निम्ति दिएको छु, तिमीहरूले यसबाट दशांशको दशांश परमप्रभुलाई दिनेछौ' भनी तैँले लेवीहरूलाई भन्‍नुपर्छ' ।”

“And you speak to the Levites, and you have said to them: When you take the tithe from the sons of Israel which I have given to you from them for your inheritance, then you have lifted up the raised-offering of YHWH from it, a tithe of the tithe;

27 तिमीहरूका हिस्सालाई खलाबाट ल्याइएको अन्‍न वा कोलबाट ल्याइएको दाखमद्यको रूपमा लिनुपर्छ ।

and your raised-offering has been reckoned to you as grain from the threshing-floor and as the fullness from the wine-vat;

28 यसैले तिमीहरूले पनि इस्राएलका मानिसहरूबाट प्राप्‍त गरेका दशांशहरूबाट परमप्रभुको निम्ति योग दिनुपर्छ । तिमीहरूले त्यसबाट पुजारी हारूनलाई त्यसको हिस्सा दिनुपर्छ ।

so you lift up—you also—the raised-offering of YHWH from all your tithes which you receive from the sons of Israel; and you have given the raised-offering of YHWH from it to Aaron the priest;

29 तिमीहरूले प्राप्‍त गरेका सबै उपहारबाट तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई हरेक हिस्सा दिनुपर्छ । यो तिमीहरूलाई दिइएको उत्तम र अति पवित्र थोकहरूबाट दिनुपर्छ ।'

out of all your gifts you lift up every raised-offering of YHWH, out of all its fat—its hallowed part—out of it.

30 यसकारण, 'जब तिमीहरूले यसको उत्तम हिस्सा दिन्छौ, लेवीहरूको निम्ति यो खलाबाट ल्याइएको अन्‍न र कोलबाट ल्याइएको दाखमद्यको रूपमा गनिन्छ' भनी तैँले तिनीहरूलाई भन् ।

And you have said to them: In your lifting up its fat out of it, then it has been reckoned to the Levites as increase of a threshing-floor and as increase of a wine-vat;

31 बाँकी तेरा उपहारहरू तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका परिवारले कुनै पनि ठाउँमा खान सक्छौ, किनभने यो भेट हुने पालमा तिमीहरूको कामको सट्टामा दिइएको ज्याला हो ।

and you have eaten it in every place, you and your households, for it [is] your hire in exchange for your service in the Tent of Meeting;

32 यदि तिमीहरूले प्राप्‍‍त गरेका थोकहरूबाट यसको उत्तम हिस्सा परमप्रभुलाई चढाएका छौ भने, यो खाएर र पिएर तिमीहरूमाथि कुनै दोष आइपर्नेछैन । तर तिमीहरूले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका पवित्र बलिहरूलाई अपवित्र तुल्याउनुहुँदैन नत्रता तिमीहरू मर्नेछौ' ।”

and you bear no sin for it in your lifting up its fat out of it, but you do not defile the holy things of the sons of Israel, and you do not die.”
