गन्ती 27
1 योसेफका छोरा मनश्शेका कुलका, मनश्शेका छोरा माकीर, माकीरका छोरा गिलेद, गिलेदका छोरा हेपेर, हेपेरका छोरा सलोफादका छोरीहरू मोशाकहाँ आए । तिनका छोरीहरूका नाउँ यिनै थिएः महला, नोआह, होग्ला, मिल्का र तिर्सा ।
The daughters of Zelophehad came to present their case. Their father Zelophehad was the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, and was from the tribe of Manasseh, son of Joseph. The names of his daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. They came
2 तिनीहरू भेट हुने पालको प्रवेश-द्वारमा मोशा, पुजारी एलाजार, अगुवाहरू र सारा समुदायको सामु खडा भए ।
and stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders, and all the Israelites at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. They said,
3 तिनीहरूले भने, “हाम्रा बुबा मरुभूमिमा मरे । तिनी परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गर्ने कोरहको दलमा थिएनन् । तिनी आफ्नै पापको कारण मरे र तिनका कुनै छोराहरू छैनन् ।
“Our father died in the desert, but he wasn't one of Korah's followers who joined together to rebel against the Lord. No, he died from his own sins, and he didn't have any sons.
4 तिनका छोराहरू नभएकै कारण हाम्रा बुबाको नाउँ तिनका कुलका सदस्यहरूको बिचबाट किन निर्मूल गर्ने? हामीहरूलाई हाम्रा बुबाका नातेदारहरूमाझ जग्गा दिनुहोस् ।”
Why should our family name be lost simply because he didn't have a son? Give us land to own alongside our uncles.”
5 त्यसैले मोशाले तिनीहरूको विषयलाई परमप्रभुकहाँ ल्याए ।
Moses took their case before the Lord.
6 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो,
The Lord gave him this answer,
7 “सलोफादका छोरीहरूले ठिकै भनिरहेका छन् । तैँले तिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूका बुबाका नातेदारहरूमाझ उत्तराधिकारको रूपमा अंश दिनुपर्छ र तिनीहरूका बुबाको उत्तराधिकार तिनीहरूकै स्वामित्वमा रहोस् भनी तैँले निश्चय गर्नुपर्छ ।
“What the daughters of Zelophehad are saying is right. You really must give them land to own alongside their uncles—give to them what would have been allocated to their father.
8 तैँले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई भन्, 'यदि कुनै मानिस मर्छ र त्यसको छोरा छैन भने, तिमीहरूले त्यसको सम्पत्ति त्यसकी छोरीलाई दिनुपर्छ ।
In addition, tell the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and doesn't have a no son, give his property to his daughter.
9 यदि त्यसकी छोरी छैन भने, तिमीहरूले त्यसको अंश त्यसको आफ्नो भाइलाई दिनुपर्छ ।
If he doesn't have a daughter, give his property to his brothers.
10 यदि त्यसको भाइ छैन भने, तिमीहरूले त्यसको अंश त्यसका बुबाका भाइहरूलाई दिनुपर्छ ।
If he doesn't have brothers, give his property to his father's brothers.
11 यदि त्यसका बुबाका भाइहरू छैनन् भने, तिमीहरूले त्यसको अंश त्यसको कुलको सबैभन्दा नजिकको नातेदारलाई दिनुपर्छ । त्यसले त्यो आफ्नो निम्ति ग्रहण गर्नुपर्छ । यो परमप्रभुले मलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएअनुसार इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका निम्ति आदेशद्वारा स्थापित गरिएको नियम हुने छ' ।”
If his father doesn't have brothers, give his property his family's next of kin so that they can own it. This is a legal regulation for the Israelites, given as an order by the Lord to Moses.’”
12 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “अबारीम पर्वतमाथि जा र मैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई दिएको भूमिलाई हेर् ।
The Lord told Moses, “Go up into the Abarim mountains so you can see the land that I have given the Israelites.
13 तैँले यसलाई हेरेपछि तँ पनि तेरा दाजु हारूनजस्तै तेरा मानिसहरूकहाँ जानुपर्छ ।
After you have seen it, you will also join your forefathers in death, just as your brother Aaron did,
14 तिमीहरू दुवै जनाले सीनको मरुभूमिमा मेरो आज्ञा विरुद्ध विद्रोह गरेको हुनाले यस्तो हुने छ । त्यहाँ चट्टानबाट पानी बगेर निस्कँदा तिमीहरूका रिसमा तिमीहरूले सारा समुदायको नजरमा पवित्र जनको रूपमा मलाई आदर गर्न चुक्यौ ।” यो घटना सीनको मरूभूमिको कादेशको मेरीबाको पानीमा भएको थियो ।
because when the Israelites complained in the Desert of Zin, you both rebelled against my instructions to show my holiness before them in regard to providing water.” (These were the waters of Meribah in Kadesh, in the Desert of Zin.)
15 त्यसपछि मोशाले परमप्रभुलाई भने,
Then Moses pleaded with the Lord,
16 “हे सबै मानव-जातिका आत्माका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, समुदायमाथि एक जना मानिस नियुक्त गर्नुहोस्,
“May the Lord, the God who gives life to all living beings, choose a man to lead the Israelites
17 एउटा यस्तो मानिस जो तिनीहरूको अघिअघि बाहिर जाओस् र भित्र आओस् अनि तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर जाँदा र भित्र आउँदा नेतृत्व गरोस्, ताकि तपाईंका समुदाय गोठालोविनाका भेडाहरूजस्ता नहोऊन् ।”
who will tell them what to do and show them where to go, so that the people of the Lord won't be like sheep without a shepherd.”
18 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “नूनका छोरा यहोशूलाई ले, एउटा मानिस जसमा मेरो आत्मा छ र त्यसमाथि तेरो हात राख् ।
The Lord told Moses, “Call for Joshua, son of Nun, a man who has the Spirit in him, and place your hands on him.
19 त्यसलाई पुजारी एलाजार र सबै समुदाय सामु राख् र तिनीहरूको सामुन्ने नै तिनीहरूलाई नेतृत्व गर्न त्यसलाई आज्ञा दे ।
Make him stand in front of Eleazar the priest and all the Israelites, and dedicate him while they watch.
20 तैँले तेरो केही अधिकार त्यसलाई दिनुपर्छ, ताकि इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका सबै समुदायले तिनको आज्ञा पालन गरून् ।
Hand over some of your authority to him so that all the Israelites will obey him.
21 त्यो ऊरीमको निर्णयद्वारा आफ्नो निम्ति मेरो इच्छा खोज्न पुजारी एलाजारको सामु जाने छ । त्यो र इस्राएलका सबै मानिस अर्थात् सारा समुदाय त्यसको आज्ञामा नै बाहिर जाने छन् र भित्र आउने छन् ।”
When he needs instructions he is to go before Eleazar the priest who will ask the Lord on his behalf and find out the decision using the Urim. Joshua will give orders to all the Israelites concerning everything they are to do.”
22 त्यसैले मोशाले परमप्रभुले तिनलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम गरे । तिनले यहोशूलाई लिए र पुजारी एलाजार र सारा समुदायको सामु राखे ।
Moses followed the Lord's instructions. He had Joshua come and stand in front of Eleazar the priest and all the Israelites.
23 तिनले उनीमाथि आफ्ना हात राखे र परमप्रभुले तिनलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ नेतृत्व गर्न उनलाई आज्ञा दिए ।
Moses placed his hands on Joshua and dedicated him, just as the Lord had told him to do.
