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 the LORD said to Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father’s house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall 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 thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined to thee, and minister to thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall minister before the tabernacle of witness.

3 तिनीहरूले तेरो र सारा पालको सेवा गर्नुपर्छ ।

And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come near the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.

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 shall be joined to thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come near to you.

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

And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children 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, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are given as a gift for the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

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 ।”

Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest’s office for every thing of the altar, and within the veil; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest’s office to you as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh near shall be 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 the LORD spoke to Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of my heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; to thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever.

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 shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render to me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.

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

In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy to thee.

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 thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them to thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of 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 wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer to the LORD, them have I given to thee.

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

And whatever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring to the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.

14 इस्राएलमा अर्पण गरिएका सबै थोक तेरा हुने छन् ।

Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.

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 ।

Every thing that openeth the womb in all flesh, which they bring to the LORD, whether of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.

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 those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thy estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which 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 ।

But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour to the LORD.

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

And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine.

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 heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer to the LORD, have I given to thee, and to thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD to thee and to thy seed with thee.

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 the LORD spoke to Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thy inheritance among the children of Israel.

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

And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

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

Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come near the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and 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 ।

But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.

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 tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering to the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said to them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

25 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,

And the LORD spoke 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' ।”

Thus speak to the Levites, and say to them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe.

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

And this your heave offering shall be reckoned to you, as though it were the grain of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.

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

Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering to the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give of them the LORD’S heave offering 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 ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the best of it, even the hallowed part from 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 ।

Therefore thou shalt say to them, When ye have offered the best of it, then it shall be counted to the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.

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 ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.

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 ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have offered from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
