< गन्ती 3 >

1 यो परमप्रभु सीनै पर्वतमाथि मोशासँग बोल्नुहुँदा हारून र मोशाका सन्तानहरूको इतिहास हो ।
Now this is the history of the descendants of Aaron and Moses when Yahweh spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai.
2 हारूनका छोराका नाउँहरू यिनै हुन्: जेठा नादाब, अबीहू, एलाजार र ईतामार थिए ।
The names of Aaron's sons were Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3 हारून पुजारीका छोराहरूका नाउँहरू यिनै हुन् जसलाई पुजारीको रूपमा अभिषेक गरिएको थियो र पुजारीको रूपमा सेवा गर्न नियुक्‍त गरिएका थिए ।
These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed and who were ordained to serve as priests.
4 तर नादाब र अबीहूले सीनै पर्वतमा अस्वीकार्य आगो परमप्रभुलाई चढाउँदा तिनीहरू उहाँको सामु मरे । नादाब र अबीहूका कुनै छोराछोरी थिएन । यसैले एलाजार र ईतामारले तिनीहरूका बुबा हारूनसँग पुजारीको रूपमा सेवा गरे ।
But Nadab and Abihu fell dead before Yahweh when they offered to him unacceptable fire in the wilderness of Sinai. Nadab and Abihu had no children, so just Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests with Aaron their father.
5 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,
Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
6 “लेवीको कुललाई ले र तिनीहरूले पुजारी हारूनलाई सहायता गर्नको निम्ति तिनीहरूलाई तिनीकहाँ प्रस्तुत गर् ।
“Bring the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron the priest for them to help him.
7 तिनीहरूले भेट हुने पालको सामु हारून र सारा समुदायको तर्फबाट दायित्वहरू पुरा गर्नुपर्छ । तिनीहरूले पवित्र वासस्थानमा सेवा गर्नुपर्छ ।
They must perform the duties on behalf of Aaron and the whole community before the tent of meeting. They must serve in the tabernacle.
8 तिनीहरूले भेट हुने पालका सबै सरसामानको हेरचाह गर्नुपर्छ र तिनीहरूले पवित्र वासस्थानको सेवा वहन गर्न इस्राएलका कुलहरूलाई सहायता गर्नुपर्छ ।
They must care for all the furnishings in the tent of meeting, and they must help the tribes of Israel to carry out the tabernacle service.
9 तैँले लेवीहरू हारून र तिनका छोराहरूलाई दिनुपर्छ । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई सेवा गर्न तिनलाई सहायता गर्न तिनीहरूलाई पूर्ण रूपमा सुम्पिएका छन् ।
You must give the Levites to Aaron and his sons. They are wholly given to help him serve the people of Israel.
10 तैँले हारून र तिनका छोराहरूलाई पुजारीको रूपमा नियुक्‍त गर्नुपर्छ र नजिक आउने कुनै पनि मानिसलाई मार्नुपर्छ ।”
You must appoint Aaron and his sons as priests, but any foreigner who comes near must be put to death.”
11 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,
Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
12 “हेर्, मैले लेवीहरूलाई इस्राएलका मानिसहरूबाट लिएको छु । मैले यो इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका जेठा छोराहरूको सट्टा लिएको छु । लेवीहरू मेरा हुन् ।
“Look, I have taken the Levites from among the people of Israel. I have done this instead of taking each firstborn male who is born among the people of Israel. The Levites belong to me.
13 पहिले जन्मेका सबै मेरा हुन् । मैले मिश्र देशमा पहिले जन्मेकाहरूलाई आक्रमण गरेको दिन नै इस्राएलका मानिस र पशुहरू दुवैको पहिले जन्मेका सबैलाई मेरो निम्ति अलग गरेँ । तिनीहरू मेरा हुन् । म परमप्रभु हुँ ।”
All the firstborn belong to me. On the day that I attacked all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I set apart for myself all the firstborn in Israel, both people and animals. They belong to me. I am Yahweh.”
14 परमप्रभुले सीनैको मरुभूमिमा मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,

15 “लेवीका हरेक कुल र परिवार-परिवारअनुसार गन्ती गर् । एक महिना र त्यसभन्दा माथिका सबै पुरुषको गन्ती गर् ।
“Count the descendants of Levi in each family, in their clans. Count every male who is one month old and older.”

“Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the people of Israel, and take the Levites' livestock instead of the people's livestock. The Levites belong to me—I am Yahweh.
46 म परमप्रभु हुँ, लेवीहरू मेरा हुन् । लेवीहरूको सङ्ख्याभन्दा बढी भएका २७३ जना पहिले जन्मेकाहरूका हरेकको निम्ति तैँले पाँच-पाँच शेकेल लिनुपर्छ ।
You must collect five shekels for the redemption of each of the 273 firstborn people of Israel who exceed the number of the Levites.

You must use the shekel of the sanctuary as your standard weight. The shekel equals twenty gerahs.
48 त्यो छुटकाराको मूल्य तैँले हारून र तिनका छोराहरूलाई दिनुपर्छ ।”
You must give the price of redemption that you paid to Aaron and his sons.”

51 मोशाले त्यो छुटकाराको मूल्य हारून र तिनका छोराहरूलाई दिए । परमप्रभुले उहाँको वचनद्वारा आज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम मोशाले सबै थोक गरे ।
Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and to his sons. Moses did everything he was told to do by Yahweh's word, as Yahweh had commanded him.
