गन्ती 20
1 यसैले इस्राएलका सारा समुदाय पहिलो महिनामा जीनको मरुभूमिमा गए; तिनीहरू कादेशमा बसे ।
And the sons of Israel, and the entire multitude, went into the desert of Sin, in the first month. And the people stayed at Kadesh. And Miriam died there, and she was buried in the same place.
2 त्यहाँ मिरियम मरिन् र तिनलाई त्यहीँ गाडियो । समुदायको निम्ति त्यहाँ पानी थिएन, त्यसैले तिनीहरू मोशा र हारूनको विरुद्ध भेला भए ।
And when the people were in need of water, they came together against Moses and Aaron.
3 मानिसहरूले मोशा विरुद्ध गनगन गरे । तिनीहरूले भने, “हाम्रा सङ्गी इस्राएलीहरू परमप्रभुको सामु मर्दा हामी पनि मरेका भए राम्रो हुन्थ्यो ।
And as it turned into sedition, they said: “If only we had perished among our brothers in the sight of the Lord.
4 परमप्रभुको समुदाय, हामी र हाम्रा पशुहरू मर्नलाई किन यहाँ ल्याउनुभएको?
Why have you led away the Church of the Lord, into the wilderness, so that both we and our cattle would die?
5 यो डरलाग्दो ठाउँमा ल्याउन हामीलाई किन मिश्रबाट आउन लगाउनुभयो? यहाँ बिउ, नेभारा, दाख वा अनार केही पनि छैन र पिउने पानी पनि छैन ।”
Why did you cause us to ascend from Egypt, and why have you led us into this most wretched place, which is not able to be sown, which does not produce figs, or vines, or pomegranates, and which, moreover, does not even have water to drink?”
6 यसैले मोशा र हारून समुदायको सामु गए । तिनीहरू भेट हुने पालको प्रवेश-द्वारमा गए र घोप्टो परे । त्यहाँ परमप्रभुको उज्ज्वल महिमा देखा पर्यो ।
And Moses and Aaron, dismissing the multitude, entered the tabernacle of the covenant, and they fell prone on the ground, and they cried out to the Lord, and they said: “O Lord God, listen to the outcry of this people, and open for them, from your storehouse, a fountain of living water, so that, being satisfied, their murmuring may cease.” And the glory of the Lord appeared over them.
7 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
8 “लहुरो ले र समुदाय, तँ र तेरा दाजु हारूनलाई भेला गर् । तिनीहरूको नजरकै सामुन्ने चट्टानलाई भन् र पानी निकाल्न यसलाई आज्ञा दे । तैँले त्यो चट्टानबाट तिनीहरूका निम्ति पानी निकाल्ने छस् र तैँले यो तिनीहरूलाई र तिनीहरूका गाईवस्तुहरूलाई दिनू ।”
“Take the rod, and gather the people, you and your brother Aaron, and speak to the rock before them, and it shall bestow waters. And when you have brought forth water from the rock, the entire multitude and their cattle shall drink.”
9 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएजस्तै मोशाले परमप्रभुको सामुबाट लहुरो लिए ।
Therefore, Moses took the rod, which was in the sight of the Lord, just as he had instructed him.
10 अनि मोशा र हारूनले चट्टानको सामु मानिसहरू भेला पारे । मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “अब हे बागीहरू हो, सुन । के हामीले तिमीहरूलाई यो चट्टानबाट पानी निकाल्नपर्छ?
And having gathered the multitude before the rock, he said to them: “Listen, you who are rebellious and unbelieving. Would we be able to cast out water from this rock?”
11 अनि मोशाले आफ्नो हात उठाएर चट्टानलाई दुई पटक हिर्काए, र पानी निस्क्यो । समुदाय र तिनीहरूका गाईवस्तुहरूले पानी पिए ।
And when Moses had lifted up his hand, striking the stone twice with the rod, very great waters went forth, so much so that the people and their cattle were able to drink.
12 परमप्रभुले मोशा र हारूनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरूले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको नजरमा मलाई पवित्र जनको रूपमा आदर नगरेकाले वा मलाई भरोसा नगरेकाले तिमीहरूले यो समुदायलाई मैले तिनीहरूलाई दिन्छु भनेको भूमिमा ल्याउनेछैनौ ।”
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe me, so as to sanctify me before the sons of Israel, you shall not lead this people into the land, which I will give to them.”
13 यो ठाउँलाई मेरीबाको पानी भनियो, किनभने इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले त्यहाँ परमप्रभुसँग झगडा गरेका थिए, र उहाँले आफैलाई पवित्र जनको रूपमा प्रकट गर्नुभएको थियो ।
This is the Water of Contradiction, where the sons of Israel were quarreling against the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.
14 मोशाले कादेशबाट एदोमको राजाकहाँ समाचारवाहकहरू पठाएः तपाईंको भाइ इस्राएलले भन्छ, “हामीमाथि आइपरेका सबै कठिनाइ तपाईं जान्नुहुन्छ ।
Meanwhile, Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom. They said: “Your brother Israel says this: You know of all the hardships which have overtaken us,
15 हाम्रा पुर्खाहरू मिश्रमा गए र मिश्रमा नै लामो समयसम्म बसेको तपाईंलाई थाहा छ । मिश्रीहरूले हामी र हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूलाई रुखो व्यवहार गरे ।
how our fathers descended into Egypt, and we lived there for a long time, and the Egyptians afflicted both us and our fathers,
16 जब हामीले परमप्रभुलाई पुकार्यौँ, उहाँले हाम्रो आवाज सुन्नुभयो, र एउटा स्वर्गदूत पठाउनुभयो अनि हामीलाई मिश्रबाट ल्याउनुभयो । हे्र्नुहोस्, हामी तपाईंको देशको सिमानामा पर्ने सहर कादेशमा छौँ ।
and how we cried out to the Lord, and he heeded us and sent an Angel, who led us away from Egypt. Behold, we are situated in the city of Kadesh, which is at the extremity of your borders.
17 हामीलाई तपाईंको भूमिको बाटो भएर जान दिनुहोस् भनी म बिन्ती गर्दछु । हामी खेत वा दाखबारीतिर पस्दैनौँ, न त हामी तपाईंका ईनारहरूको पानी पिउँछौँ । हामीले तपाईंको देशको सिमाना नकाटेसम्म दायाँ वा बायाँ लाग्ने छैनौँ ।”
And we beg you to permit us to cross through your land. We will not go through the fields, nor through the vineyards; we will not drink the waters of your wells, but we will travel by the public ways, neither turning aside to the right, nor to the left, until we have passed your borders.”
18 तर एदोमको राजाले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “तिमीहरू यो मुलुक भएर जान सक्दैनौ । तिमीहरू आयौ भने, म तरवार लिएर आक्रमण गर्न आउने छु ।”
Edom responded to them: “You shall not cross through me, otherwise, I will meet you armed.”
19 अनि इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले तिनलाई भने, “हामी राजमर्ग भएर मात्र जाने छौँ । यदि हामी र हाम्रा गाईवस्तुहरूले पानी पिए भने हामी यसको मूल्य तिर्ने छौँ । कुनै कुरा नगरी हामीलाई पैदल जान मात्र दिनुहोस् ।”
And the sons of Israel said: “We will travel by the well-trodden path. And if we or our cattle drink from your waters, we will give you what is just. There shall be no difficulty in the price, only let us cross through quickly.”
20 तर एदोमका राजाले जवाफ दिए, “तिमीहरू जान सक्दैनौँ ।” यसैले एदोमको राजा ठुलो फौजसहित इस्राएलको विरुद्ध लड्न आए ।
But he answered, “You shall not cross.” And immediately he went out to meet them with a countless multitude and a strong hand;
21 एदोमका राजाले इस्राएललाई आफ्नो सिमाना भएर जान दिन इन्कार गरे । यसैले इस्राएल एदोमको भूमिबाट तर्किएर गए ।
neither was he willing to agree to their petition to concede passage through his borders. For this reason, Israel diverted away from him.
22 मानिसहरू कादेशबाट हिँडे । इस्राएलका मानिसहरू अर्थात् सारा समुदाय होर पर्वतमा आए ।
And when they had moved the camp from Kadesh, they arrived at mount Hor, which is at the borders of the land of Edom,
23 एदोमको सिमानामा पर्ने होर पर्वतमा परमप्रभुले मोशा र हारूनलाई भन्नुभयो,
where the Lord spoke to Moses:
24 “हारून आफ्ना मानिसहरूकहाँ जानुपर्छ, किनभने मैले इस्राएललाई दिएको भूमिमा त्यो प्रवेश गर्ने छैन । यो तिमीहरू दुवैले मेरीबाको पानीमा मेरो विरुद्ध विद्रोह गरेकाले गर्दा हो ।
“Let Aaron,” he said, “go to his people. For he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the sons of Israel, because he did not believe my mouth at the Waters of Contradiction.
25 हारून र त्यसका छोरा एलाजारलाई होर पर्वतमाथि ले ।
Take Aaron, and his son with him, and lead them on to mount Hor.
26 हारूनको पुजारीको पोशाक फुकाल् र त्यो एलाजारलाई लगाइदे । हारून मर्नुपर्छ र आफ्ना मानिसहरूसँग मिल्नुपर्छ ।”
And when you have stripped the father of his vestments, you shall put them on Eleazar, his son. Aaron shall be gathered and shall die there.”
27 मोशाले परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम गरे । तिनीहरू सारा समुदायको सामुबाट होर पर्वतमाथि गए ।
Moses did just as the Lord had instructed. And they ascended mount Hor, in the sight of the entire multitude.
28 मोशाले हारूनको पुजारीको पोशाक फुकाले र त्यो तिनका छोरा एलाजारलाई लगाइदिए । पर्वतको चुचुरोमाथि हारून मरे । अनि मोशा र एलाजार तल ओर्ले ।
And when he had despoiled Aaron of his vestments, he clothed his son Eleazar with them. And when Aaron had died at the top of the mountain, Moses came down with Eleazar.
29 जब हारून मरेका सारा समुदायले देखे, तब सारा जाति हारूनको निम्ति तिस दिनसम्म रोए ।
And the entire multitude, seeing that Aaron lay dead, wept over him for thirty days, throughout all their families.
