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 ।
One day the five daughters of Zelophehad came [to Moses/me]. They were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
2 तिनीहरू भेट हुने पालको प्रवेश-द्वारमा मोशा, पुजारी एलाजार, अगुवाहरू र सारा समुदायको सामु खडा भए ।
They came to the entrance of the Sacred Tent and stood in front of Eleazar, Moses/me, the tribal leaders, and many [EUP] other Israeli people.
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 ।
They said, “Our father died [during the time that we were] in the desert, and he did not have any sons. But he was not among those who supported Korah, who rebelled against Yahweh. He died just because he was a sinner [like everyone else].
4 तिनका छोराहरू नभएकै कारण हाम्रा बुबाको नाउँ तिनका कुलका सदस्यहरूको बिचबाट किन निर्मूल गर्ने? हामीहरूलाई हाम्रा बुबाका नातेदारहरूमाझ जग्गा दिनुहोस् ।”
(Why should the name of his clan disappear [with the result that we do not receive any land] only because our father had no sons?/It is not right that the name of his clan disappear [with the result that we do not receive any land] only because our father had no sons.) [RHQ] So give us some land like our relatives will be getting!”
5 त्यसैले मोशाले तिनीहरूको विषयलाई परमप्रभुकहाँ ल्याए ।
So Moses/I asked Yahweh [what to do about] their request.
6 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो,
And Yahweh replied,
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 requesting is right. You must give them some land, just as you are giving to their father’s relatives. Give to each of them some of the land that would have been given to their brothers [if they had any].
8 तैँले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई भन्, 'यदि कुनै मानिस मर्छ र त्यसको छोरा छैन भने, तिमीहरूले त्यसको सम्पत्ति त्यसकी छोरीलाई दिनुपर्छ ।
“Also tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If a man who has no sons dies, give the things that his sons would have inherited to his daughters.
9 यदि त्यसकी छोरी छैन भने, तिमीहरूले त्यसको अंश त्यसको आफ्नो भाइलाई दिनुपर्छ ।
If the man has no sons or daughters, give to his brothers the things that his sons and daughters would have inherited.
10 यदि त्यसको भाइ छैन भने, तिमीहरूले त्यसको अंश त्यसका बुबाका भाइहरूलाई दिनुपर्छ ।
If the man had no brothers, give to his father’s brothers the things that his sons or daughters or brothers would have inherited.
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 the man’s father has no brothers, give to his closest relative the things that the others would have inherited.’ That will be a rule for the Israeli people, because I am giving this as a command to you, Moses, [to tell them].”
12 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “अबारीम पर्वतमाथि जा र मैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई दिएको भूमिलाई हेर् ।
One day, Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Climb to the top of the Abarim Mountains [east of the Jordan River]. Then look out over the land that I am giving to the Israeli people.
13 तैँले यसलाई हेरेपछि तँ पनि तेरा दाजु हारूनजस्तै तेरा मानिसहरूकहाँ जानुपर्छ ।
After you have seen it, you will die [EUP] just like your [older] 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 ।
The reason [that you will die and not enter that land] is that you both disobeyed my instructions/commands in the Zin Desert. When the Israeli people rebelled against me there at Meribah, near Kadesh, [I told you to speak to the rock to cause] water to flow out of it. [But because you struck the rock instead of speaking to it], you did not show the people my holy power.”
15 त्यसपछि मोशाले परमप्रभुलाई भने,
Then Moses/I said this to Yahweh:
16 “हे सबै मानव-जातिका आत्माका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, समुदायमाथि एक जना मानिस नियुक्त गर्नुहोस्,
“Yahweh, you are the God who directs the spirits of all people. So please appoint a new leader for the Israeli people.
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 ।”
Appoint someone who will lead your people when they go to fight a battle, so that they will not [just wander around] like sheep that do not have a shepherd.” [SIM]
18 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “नूनका छोरा यहोशूलाई ले, एउटा मानिस जसमा मेरो आत्मा छ र त्यसमाथि तेरो हात राख् ।
Yahweh replied, “Get Joshua, the son of Nun, who has my Spirit within him. Lay your hands on him [to appoint him].
19 त्यसलाई पुजारी एलाजार र सबै समुदाय सामु राख् र तिनीहरूको सामुन्ने नै तिनीहरूलाई नेतृत्व गर्न त्यसलाई आज्ञा दे ।
Cause him to stand in front of Eleazar the priest, as all the people are watching, and commission/appoint him to be the new leader of the Israeli people.
20 तैँले तेरो केही अधिकार त्यसलाई दिनुपर्छ, ताकि इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका सबै समुदायले तिनको आज्ञा पालन गरून् ।
Give to him some of the authority that you now have, in order that all the Israeli people will [know that they must] 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 you all need me to guide you, Joshua will stand in front of Eleazar. Then by (casting lots/throwing marked stones on the ground) Eleazar will find out what they should do.”
22 त्यसैले मोशाले परमप्रभुले तिनलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम गरे । तिनले यहोशूलाई लिए र पुजारी एलाजार र सारा समुदायको सामु राखे ।
So Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded. He/I presented Joshua to Eleazar and to all the Israeli people.
23 तिनले उनीमाथि आफ्ना हात राखे र परमप्रभुले तिनलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ नेतृत्व गर्न उनलाई आज्ञा दिए ।
Moses/I laid his/my hands on him and commissioned/appointed him to do the work that Yahweh told Moses/me to tell him to do.
