गन्ती 19

1 परमप्रभुले मोशा र हारूनलाई भन्‍नुभयो,

Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,

2 “मैले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरिरहेको नियम, विधि यही होः इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले निष्खोट वा दाखरहित रातो कोरली ल्याउनुपर्छ भनी तिनीहरूलाई भन् जसको काँधमा कहिल्यै जुवा परेको हुनुहुन्‍न ।

“I am now giving to you another regulation. Tell the Israeli people to bring to you one reddish-brown cow that has no defects. It must be an animal that (has never been/no one has ever) used for plowing ground.

3 त्यो कोरली पुजारी एलाजारलाई दिनू । त्यसले यसलाई छाउनीबाहिर ल्याउनुपर्छ र कसैले यसलाई त्यसको सामु मार्नुपर्छ ।

Give it to Eleazar, the priest. He must take it outside the camp and slaughter it [and drain the blood in a basin].

4 पुजारी एलाजारले यसको केही रगत त्यसको औँलाले लिएर भेट हुने पालको अघिल्तिर सात पटक छर्कनू ।

He must dip one of his fingers in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times [on the ground] near the Sacred Tent.

5 अर्को पुजारीले उसैको सामु त्यो कोरलीलाई जनाउनुपर्छ । त्यसले यसको छाला, मासु, रगत र गोबरलाई जलाउनुपर्छ ।

Then, while Eleazar watches, the cow must be burned completely—its hide, its meat, [the rest of] its blood, and even its dung.

6 पुजारीले देवदारुको काठ, हिसप र गाढा रातो रङको ऊन लिनुपर्छ र यी सबैलाई जलिरेहेको कोरलीमाथि फाल्नुपर्छ ।

Eliezer then must take a stick of cedar wood, a stalk of [a plant named] hyssop, and some scarlet/red yarn, and throw them into the fire where the cow is burning.

7 त्यसपछि त्यसले आफ्‍नो लुगा धुनुपर्छ र नुहाउनुपर्छ । अनि त्यो छाउनीभित्र आउन सक्छ, जहाँ त्यो साँझसम्म अशुद्ध रहनेछ ।

“Then the priest must wash his clothes and bathe. After doing that, he may return to the camp. But he will be unfit for doing any sacred work until that evening.

8 कोरली जलाउने व्यक्‍तिले आफ्नो लुगा पानीले धुनुपर्छ र नुहाउनुपर्छ । त्यो साँझसम्म अशुद्ध रहनेछ ।

The man who burns the cow must also wash his clothes and bathe, and he will also be unacceptable to me until that evening.

9 कोही शुद्ध मानिसले त्यो कोरलीको खरानीलाई उठाउनुपर्छ र त्यसलाई छाउनीबाहिर शुद्ध ठाउँमा राख्‍नुपर्छ । यो खरानी इस्राएलका मानिसको सामुदायको निम्ति राख्‍नुपर्छ । तिनीहरूले त्यो खरानीलाई तिनीहरूको पापबाट शुद्धिकरणको निम्ति पानीमा मिसाउनेछन्, किनभने त्यो खरानी पापबलिबाट लिइएको थियो ।

“Then someone who has not become unacceptable to me must gather up the ashes of the cow and put them in a (sacred place/place that is acceptable to me) outside the camp. The ashes must be kept there for the people of Israel to [use when they] mix it with water for the ritual to remove the guilt of sin.

10 त्यो कोरलीको खरानी बटुल्ने व्यक्‍तिले आफ्नो लुगा धुनुपर्छ । त्यो साँझसम्म अशुद्ध रहनेछ । यो इस्राएलका मानिस र तिनीहरूसँग बसोबास गर्ने परदेशीको निम्ति स्थायी नियम हुने छ ।

The man who gathers up the ashes of the cow must [also] wash his clothes, and he [also] will be unfit to do any more sacred work until that evening. That is a regulation that will never be changed. It must be obeyed by you Israeli people and by any foreigners who live among you.

11 कुनै पनि मृत शरीर छुने व्यक्‍ति सात दिनसम्म अशुद्ध हुने छ ।

“All those who touch a corpse will be unacceptable to me for seven days.

12 यस्तो व्यक्‍तिले तेस्रो र सातौँ दिनमा आफूलाई शुद्धिकरण गर्नुपर्छ । अनि त्यो शुद्ध हुने छ । तर यदि त्यसले आफैलाई तेस्रो दिनमा शुद्ध पार्दैन भने, त्यो सातौँ दिनमा शुद्ध हुनेछैन ।

On the third day and on the seventh day [after touching a corpse], in order to become acceptable to me again, [they must have sprinkled on them] some of that water for removing the guilt of their sin. If they do not do that on both of those days, they will continue to be unacceptable to me.

13 जसले मरेको व्यक्‍ति छुन्‍छ अर्थात् मरेको मानिसको शरीर छुन्‍छ, र आफूलाई शुद्ध पार्दैन, त्यो व्यक्‍तिले परमप्रभुको पवित्र वासस्थान अवित्र तुल्याउँछ । त्यो व्यक्‍तिलाई इस्राएलबाट बहिष्कार गर्नुपर्छ, किनभने अशुद्धताको पानी त्यसमाथि छर्किएको थिएन । त्यो अशुद्ध रहेनछ; त्यसको अशुद्धता त्यसमाथि रहनेछ ।

All those who touch a corpse, and do not perform in the correct way the ritual to become acceptable to me again, defile Yahweh’s Sacred Tent. They will no longer be permitted to live among the Israeli people. The water to remove the guilt of sin was not sprinkled on them, so they continue to be unacceptable to me.

14 यो मानिस पालमा मर्दाको निम्ति नियम हो । पालभित्र पस्‍ने सबै र पहिले नै पालभित्र रहेका सबै सात दिनसम्म अशुद्ध हुने छन् ।

“There is another ritual that must be performed when someone dies inside a tent. All those who were inside that tent when that person died or who enter that tent will be unacceptable to me for seven days.

15 नछोपिएका सबै भाँडा अशुद्ध हुने छन् ।

Any jars that are inside that tent that are not covered are not permitted to be used.

16 त्यसै गरी, पालबाहिर तरवारले मारिएको, कुनै अरू मृत शरीर, मानिसको हड्‍डी वा चिहान छुने मानिस सात दिनसम्म अशुद्ध हुने छ ।

If someone who is out in a field touches the corpse of someone who was murdered, or who died from natural causes, or if someone touches a bone from some human or touches a grave, that person will be unacceptable to me for seven days.

17 अशुद्ध व्‍यक्‍तिको निम्ति यसो गर्नूः जलाइएको पापबलिबाट केही खरानी लिनू र ताजा पानीसँग भाँडामा मिसाउनू ।

“For someone like that to become acceptable to me again, some of the ashes from [the cow] that was burned must be taken and put in a jar. Then some fresh water must be poured over the ashes.

18 कोही शुद्ध मानिसले हिसप लिनुपर्छ, यसलाई पानीमा डुबाउनुपर्छ र हड्‍डी, मारिएको व्यक्‍ति, मृत व्यक्‍ति वा चिहान छुने व्यक्‍तिहरू, पालभित्र भएका भाँडाहरूमाथि छर्कनुपर्छ ।

Then someone who is still acceptable to me must take a stalk of [a plant named] hyssop and dip it into the water. Then that person must sprinkle some of the water on the tent where that person died, on the things that are in the tent, and on the people who were in the tent. He must also sprinkle some of that water on any person who touched a human bone or who touched a person who died, or who touched a grave.

19 तेस्रो र सातौँ दिनमा शुद्ध व्यक्‍तिले अशुद्ध व्यक्‍तिमाथि छर्कनुपर्छ । अशुद्ध व्यक्‍तिले सातौँ दिनमा आफैलाई शुद्ध पार्नुपर्छ । त्यसले आफ्नो लुगा धुनुपर्छ र नुहाउनुपर्छ । त्यो साँझमा शुद्ध हुने छ ।

On the third day and on the seventh day after that, the person who is acceptable to me must sprinkle some of that water on those who have become unacceptable to me. On the seventh day, the people who are performing that ritual to become acceptable to me again must wash their clothes and bathe. If they do that, on that evening they will become acceptable to me again.

20 तर आफूलाई शुद्धिकरण गर्न इन्कार गर्ने, अशुद्ध रहने व्यक्‍तिलाई समुदायबाट बहिस्कार गर्नुपर्छ, किनभने त्यसले परमप्रभुको पवित्र स्थानलाई अशुद्ध तुल्यायो । अशुद्धताको निम्ति पानी त्यसमाथि छर्किएको छैन; त्यो अशुद्ध रहनेछ ।

“If those who have become unacceptable to me do not become acceptable to me again by doing this, they will no longer be permitted to live among the Israeli people, because they have defiled my Sacred Tent. They did not sprinkle on themselves the water that removes the guilt of their sins, so they remain unacceptable to me.

21 यो यी परिस्थितिसम्बन्धी निरन्तरको नियम हुने छ । अशुद्धताको निम्ति पानी छर्कने व्यक्‍तिले आफ्‍नो लुगा धुनुपर्छ । अशुद्धताको निम्ति पानी छुने व्यक्‍ति साँझसम्म अशुद्ध हुने छ ।

That is a law for the Israeli people that will never be changed. Those who sprinkle that water on themselves must then wash their clothes. And anyone who touches that water which removes guilt for sins will remain unacceptable to God until that evening.

22 अशुद्ध व्यक्‍तिले छोएको सबै कुरा अशुद्ध हुने छन् । यसलाई छुने व्यक्‍ति पनि साँझसम्म अशुद्ध हुने छ ।

“If someone touches a thing or a person that has become unacceptable to me, that person will remain unacceptable to me until that evening.”
