गन्ती 20

1 यसैले इस्राएलका सारा समुदाय पहिलो महिनामा जीनको मरुभूमिमा गए; तिनीहरू कादेशमा बसे ।

Then came the sons of Israel the whole assembly, into the desert of Zin in the first month, and the people dwelt in Kadesh, —and Miriam died there, and was buried there.

2 त्यहाँ मिरियम मरिन् र तिनलाई त्यहीँ गाडियो । समुदायको निम्ति त्यहाँ पानी थिएन, त्यसैले तिनीहरू मोशा र हारूनको विरुद्ध भेला भए ।

And there was no water for the assembly, —so they gathered together against Moses and against Aaron.

3 मानिसहरूले मोशा विरुद्ध गनगन गरे । तिनीहरूले भने, “हाम्रा सङ्गी इस्राएलीहरू परमप्रभुको सामु मर्दा हामी पनि मरेका भए राम्रो हुन्थ्यो ।

And the people contended with Moses, —and spake saying, Would then we had died when our brethren died, before Yahweh!

4 परमप्रभुको समुदाय, हामी र हाम्रा पशुहरू मर्नलाई किन यहाँ ल्याउनुभएको?

Wherefore then hast thou brought the convocation of Yahweh into this desert, —to die there, we, and our cattle?

5 यो डरलाग्‍दो ठाउँमा ल्याउन हामीलाई किन मिश्रबाट आउन लगाउनुभयो? यहाँ बिउ, नेभारा, दाख वा अनार केही पनि छैन र पिउने पानी पनि छैन ।”

And wherefore did ye cause us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us into this wretched place?—not a place of seeds, and figs, and vines and pomegranates, even water, is there none 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 went in from the presence of the multitude unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, and fell upon their faces, —and the glory of Yahweh appeared unto them.

7 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,

Then spake Yahweh unto 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 staff and gather together the assembly, thou, and Aaron thy brother, then shall ye speak unto the cliff before their eyes and it shall give forth its waters, —so shalt thou bring forth unto them water, out of the cliff, and shalt cause the assembly, and their cattle to drink.

9 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएजस्तै मोशाले परमप्रभुको सामुबाट लहुरो लिए ।

And Moses took the staff from before Yahweh, —as he commanded 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 Moses and Aaron gathered together the convocation before the cliff, —and he said unto them: Hear I pray you ye rebels! Out of this cliff, must we bring forth for you water?

11 अनि मोशाले आफ्नो हात उठाएर चट्टानलाई दुई पटक हिर्काए, र पानी निस्क्यो । समुदाय र तिनीहरूका गाईवस्तुहरूले पानी पिए ।

And Moses lifted high his hand and smote the cliff with his staff, twice, —and there came forth water in abundance, and the assembly and their cattle, did 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 ।”

Then said Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron, Because ye believed not in me, to hallow me in the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore, shall ye not bring in this convocation into the land which I have given unto them.

13 यो ठाउँलाई मेरीबाको पानी भनियो, किनभने इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले त्यहाँ परमप्रभुसँग झगडा गरेका थिए, र उहाँले आफैलाई पवित्र जनको रूपमा प्रकट गर्नुभएको थियो ।

The same, were the waters of Meribah [that is "Contention"] in that the sons of Israel contended with Yahweh, —and so he hallowed himself among them.

14 मोशाले कादेशबाट एदोमको राजाकहाँ समाचारवाहकहरू पठाएः तपाईंको भाइ इस्राएलले भन्छ, “हामीमाथि आइपरेका सबै कठिनाइ तपाईं जान्‍नुहुन्छ ।

And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh, unto the king of Edom, —Thus, saith thy brother Israel, Thou thyself, knowest all the distress which befell us;

15 हाम्रा पुर्खाहरू मिश्रमा गए र मिश्रमा नै लामो समयसम्म बसेको तपाईंलाई थाहा छ । मिश्रीहरूले हामी र हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूलाई रुखो व्यवहार गरे ।

and how our fathers went down to Egypt, and we abode in Egypt, many days, and that the Egyptians ill-treated 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 we made outcry unto Yahweh, and he heard our voice, and sent a messenger, and brought us forth out of Egypt, —lo! then, we, are in Kadesh, a city at the extremity of thy boundary,

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 ।”

Let us, we pray thee, pass through thy land—we will not pass through field or vineyard, nor will we drink the waters of a well, —by the king’s road, will we go—we will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left, until we get through thy boundary.

18 तर एदोमको राजाले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “तिमीहरू यो मुलुक भएर जान सक्दैनौ । तिमीहरू आयौ भने, म तरवार लिएर आक्रमण गर्न आउने छु ।”

And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass through my land, —lest with the sword, I come out to meet thee.

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 unto him—By the highway, will we go up, and if thy waters, we should drink—I, and my cattle then would I give the price thereof, —only—it is nothing!—with my feet, would I pass through.

20 तर एदोमका राजाले जवाफ दिए, “तिमीहरू जान सक्दैनौँ ।” यसैले एदोमको राजा ठुलो फौजसहित इस्राएलको विरुद्ध लड्न आए ।

And he said, Thou shalt not pass through. And Edom came out to meet him, with a strong people, and with a firm hand.

21 एदोमका राजाले इस्राएललाई आफ्नो सिमाना भएर जान दिन इन्कार गरे । यसैले इस्राएल एदोमको भूमिबाट तर्किएर गए ।

Thus did Edom refuse to give Israel passage through his boundary, —and Israel turned away from him.

22 मानिसहरू कादेशबाट हिँडे । इस्राएलका मानिसहरू अर्थात् सारा समुदाय होर पर्वतमा आए ।

Then set they forward from Kadesh, —and the sons of Israel. all the assembly, came in to Mount Hor.

23 एदोमको सिमानामा पर्ने होर पर्वतमा परमप्रभुले मोशा र हारूनलाई भन्‍नुभयो,

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron in Mount Hor, —near the boundary of the land of Edom saying:

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 ।

Aaron shall be withdrawn unto his kinsfolk, for he shall not enter into the land. which I have given unto the sons of Israel, —because ye spurned my bidding, at the waters of Meribah.

25 हारून र त्यसका छोरा एलाजारलाई होर पर्वतमाथि ले ।

Take thou Aaron, and Eleazar his son, —and bring them up Mount Hor;

26 हारूनको पुजारीको पोशाक फुकाल् र त्यो एलाजारलाई लगाइदे । हारून मर्नुपर्छ र आफ्ना मानिसहरूसँग मिल्नुपर्छ ।”

and strip thou Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son, —and, Aaron, shall be withdrawn and shall die there.

27 मोशाले परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम गरे । तिनीहरू सारा समुदायको सामुबाट होर पर्वतमाथि गए ।

And Moses did as Yahweh commanded, —and they went up into, Mount Hor, in sight of all the assembly.

28 मोशाले हारूनको पुजारीको पोशाक फुकाले र त्यो तिनका छोरा एलाजारलाई लगाइदिए । पर्वतको चुचुरोमाथि हारून मरे । अनि मोशा र एलाजार तल ओर्ले ।

And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments and put them upon Eleazar his son, and Aaron died there, in the top of the mount, —and Moses and Eleazar came down out of the mount.

29 जब हारून मरेका सारा समुदायले देखे, तब सारा जाति हारूनको निम्ति तिस दिनसम्म रोए ।

And all the assembly saw that Aaron was dead; and they bewailed Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
