गन्ती 31

1 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,

And the LORD said to Moses,

2 “मिद्यानीहरूले इस्राएलीहरूलाई जे गरेका थिए, त्यसको निम्ति बद्ला ले । त्यो काम गरेपछि तँ मर्ने छस् र तेरा मानिसहरूसँग मिल्न जाने छस् ।”

“Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites. After that, you will be gathered to your people.”

3 त्यसैले मोशाले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूका केही मानिसहरूलाई सुसज्‍जित पार ।

So Moses told the people, “Arm some of your men for war, that they may go against the Midianites and execute the LORD’s vengeance on them.

4 तिनीहरू मिद्यानीहरूको विरुद्ध युद्ध लड्न जाऊन् र यसमाथि परमप्रभुको बद्ला लिऊन् । इस्राएलका हरेक कुलले युद्धको निम्ति एक हजार सिपाही पठाउनुपर्छ ।”

Send into battle a thousand men from each tribe of Israel.”

5 त्यसैले इस्राएलका हजारौँ पुरुषमा हरेक कुलबाट एक हजार जना अर्थात् युद्धको निम्ति बाह्र हजार सशस्‍त्र मानिस दिइयो ।

So a thousand men were recruited from each tribe of Israel—twelve thousand armed for war.

6 त्यसपछि मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई पुजारी एलाजारका छोरा पीनहासको साथमा पवित्र स्थानका केही सरसामानहरू र सङ्केत दिनलाई तिनको स्वामित्वमा तुरहीहरूसहित हरेक कुलबाट एक-एक हजार जना मानिसलाई युद्ध गर्न पठाए । परमप्रभुले मोशालाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ

And Moses sent the thousand from each tribe into battle, along with Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, who took with him the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for signaling.

7 तिनीहरूले मिद्यनीहरूसँग लडे ।

Then they waged war against Midian, as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they killed every male.

8 तिनीहरूले सबै मानिसलाई मारे । तिनीहरूले बाँकी मृतकहरूसहित मिद्यानका पाँच जना राजा एवी, रेकेम, सूर, हूर र रेबालाई मारे ।

Among the slain were Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba—the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword.

9 इस्राएलका फौजले मिद्यानका महिलाहरू, तिनीहरूका बालबच्‍चाहरू, तिनीहरूका सबै गाईवस्तु, तिनीहरूका सबै भेडाबाख्रा र तिनीहरूका सबै मालसामान लगे । तिनीहरूले यिनीहरूलाई लुटको रूपमा लिए ।

The Israelites captured the Midianite women and their children, and they plundered all their herds, flocks, and goods.

10 तिनीहरूले उनीहरूका सबै सहर जलाइदिए, जहाँ उनीहरू बसेका थिए र उनीहरूका छाउनीहरू थिए ।

Then they burned all the cities where the Midianites had lived, as well as all their encampments,

11 तिनीहरूले मानिसहरू र पशुहरू दुवैलाई लुटको माल र कैदीको रूपमा लिए ।

and carried away all the plunder and spoils, both people and animals.

12 तिनीहरूले कैदीहरूलाई, लुटका मालहरू र कब्जा गरेका सामानहरू मोशा, पुजारी एलाजार र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका समुदायकहाँ ल्याए । तिनीहरूले यिनीहरूलाई मोआबको मैदानमा यरीहो नजिक यर्दनको किनारमा ल्याए ।

They brought the captives, spoils, and plunder to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of Israel at the camp on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho.

13 मोशा, पुजारी एलाजार र समुदायका सबै अगुवा तिनीहरूलाई भेट्न छाउनी बाहिर गए ।

And Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the congregation went to meet them outside the camp.

14 तर मोशा लडाइँबाट आएका फौजका अधिकृतहरू, हजार जनाको सेनापति र सय जनाको कप्‍तानहरूसँग रिसाए ।

But Moses was angry with the officers of the army—the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—who were returning from the battle.

15 मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “के तिमीहरूले यी सबै महिलालाई जीवितै राखेको?

“Have you spared all the women?” he asked them.

16 हेर, यिनै महिलाहरूले परमप्रभुका समुदायमाझ विपत्ति फैलिँदा बालामको सल्लाहमा पोरको विषयमा परमप्रभु विरुद्ध पाप गर्न लगाएका थिए ।

“Look, these women caused the sons of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to turn unfaithfully against the LORD at Peor, so that the plague struck the congregation of the LORD.

17 अब सबै स-साना पुरुषहरूलाई मार् र पुरुषसँग सहवास गरेका सबै महिलालाई पनि मार ।

So now, kill all the boys, as well as every woman who has had relations with a man,

18 तर पुरुषसँग सहवास नगरेका सबै जवान महिलालाई आफ्नो निम्ति लेओ ।

but spare for yourselves every girl who has never had relations with a man.

19 तिमीहरू सात दिनसम्म इस्राएलको छाउनीबाहिर छाउनीमा बस्‍नुपर्छ । कसैलाई मारेका र मुर्दालाई छोएका तिमीहरू सबैले तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका कैदीहरूसहित तेस्रो र सातौँ दिनमा आफैलाई शुद्ध पार्नुपर्छ ।

All of you who have killed a person or touched the dead are to remain outside the camp for seven days. On the third day and the seventh day you are to purify both yourselves and your captives.

20 तिमीहरूले हरेक पोशाक र पशुका छाला, बाख्राको रौँ र काठले बनेका सबै मालसामानलाई शुद्ध पार्नुपर्छ ।”

And purify every garment and leather good, everything made of goat’s hair, and every article of wood.”

21 पुजारी एलाजारले युद्धमा गएका सिपाहीहरूलाई भने, “परमप्रभुले मोशालाई दिनुभएको धर्म-विधि यही होः

Then Eleazar the priest said to the soldiers who had gone into battle, “This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded Moses:

22 सुन, चाँदी, काँसा, फलाम, टिन र सिसा,

Only the gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, and lead—

23 र आगोले नजल्ने सबै थोकलाई तिमीहरूले आगोमा पोल्नुपर्छ र यो शुद्ध हुने छ । त्यसपछि तिमीहरूले यिनीहरूलाई शुद्ध पार्ने पानीले शुद्ध पार्नुपर्छ । जुन कुरालाई आगोमा जलाउन मिल्दैन, त्यसलाई तिमीहरूले पानीले शुद्ध पार्नुपर्छ ।

everything that can withstand the fire—must be put through the fire, and it will be clean. But it must still be purified with the water of purification. And everything that cannot withstand the fire must pass through the water.

24 तिमीहरूले सातौँ दिनमा तिमीहरूका लुगा धुनुपर्छ र तिमीहरू शुद्ध हुने छौ । त्यसपछि तिमीहरू इस्राएलको छाउनीभित्र आउन सक्छौ ।

On the seventh day you are to wash your clothes, and you will be clean. After that you may enter the camp.”

25 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,

The LORD said to Moses,

26 “मानिस र पशुहरू दुवै लुटका मालहरूको रूपमा गन्ती गर् । तँ, पुजारी एलाजार र समुदायका कुल-कुलका अगुवाहरूले लुटका मालहरूलाई

“You and Eleazar the priest and the family heads of the congregation are to take a count of what was captured, both of man and beast.

27 दुई भाग गर्नुपर्छ । यसलाई लडाइँमा जाने सिपाहीहरू र सबै बाँकी समुदायबिच बाँड् ।

Then divide the captives between the troops who went out to battle and the rest of the congregation.

28 त्यसपछि लडाइँमा गएका सिपाहीहरूबाट मेरो निम्ति कर लिनू । यो कर मानिस, गाईवस्तु, गधा, भेडा वा बाख्राहरू जे भए पनि हरेक पाँच सयमा एउटा हुनुपर्छ ।

Set aside a tribute for the LORD from what belongs to the soldiers who went into battle: one out of every five hundred, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, or sheep.

29 यो कर तिनीहरूका आधा अंशबाट लिनू र यसलाई मेरो निम्ति चढाउन पुजारी एलाजारलाई दिनू ।

Take it from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to the LORD.

30 साथै, इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका आधा भागबाट, मानिस, गाईवस्तु, गधा, भेडा र बाख्राबाट तैँले हरेक पचास वटामा एउटा लिनू । यिनीहरूलाई मेरो पवित्र वासस्थानको हेरचाह गर्ने लेवीहरूलाई दिनू ।”

From the Israelites’ half, take one out of every fifty, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep, or other animals, and give them to the Levites who keep charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.”

31 त्यसैले मोशा र पुजारी एलाजारले परमप्रभुले मोशालाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम गरे ।

So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD had commanded Moses,

32 सिपाहीहरूले लिएका लुटबाट बाँकी रहेका ६,७५,००० भेडा,

and this plunder remained from the spoils the soldiers had taken: 675,000 sheep,

33 सत्तरी हजार गोरु,

72,000 cattle,

34 एकसट्ठी हजार गधा,

61,000 donkeys,

35 र पुरुषसँग कहिल्यै सहवास नगरेका तिस हजार महिला थिए ।

and 32,000 women who had not slept with a man.

36 सिपाहीहरूका निम्ति राखिएका भेडाहरू ३,३७, ००० थियो । भेडाहरूबाट

This was the half portion for those who had gone to war: 337,500 sheep,

37 परमप्रभुको भाग ६७५ थियो ।

including a tribute to the LORD of 675,

38 गोरुहरू छत्तिस हजार थिए, जसबाट परमप्रभुको भागमा बहत्तरवटा थिए ।

36,000 cattle, including a tribute to the LORD of 72,

39 गधाहरू ३०,५०० थिए, जसबाट परमप्रभुको भाग एकसट्ठीवटा थिए ।

30,500 donkeys, including a tribute to the LORD of 61,

40 सोह्र हजार महिला थिए, जसबाट परमप्रभुको भाग बत्तिस जना थिए ।

and 16,000 people, including a tribute to the LORD of 32.

41 परमप्रभुलाई चढाउने बलि हुनुपर्ने कर मोशाले लिए । परमप्रभुले मोशालाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ तिनले यसलाई पुजारी एलाजारलाई दिए ।

Moses gave the tribute to Eleazar the priest as an offering for the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

42 युद्धमा गएका सिपाहीहरूबाट मोशाले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका आधा भागको सन्दर्भमा

From the Israelites’ half, which Moses had set apart from the men who had gone to war,

43 समुदायको आधा भाग ३,३७,५०० भेडा,

this half belonged to the congregation: 337,500 sheep,

44 तिस हजार गोरु,

36,000 cattle,

45 ३०,५०० गधा,

30,500 donkeys,

46 र सोह्र हजार महिला थिए ।

and 16,000 people.

47 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका आधा भागबाट मोशाले पशु र मानिस दुवैबाट हरेक पचास वटाबाट एउटा लिए । परमप्रभुले मोशालाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम तिनले तिनीहरूलाई परमप्रभुको पवित्र वासस्थानको हेरचाह गर्ने लेवीहरूलाई दिए ।

From the Israelites’ half, Moses took one out of every fifty persons and animals and gave them to the Levites who kept charge of the tabernacle of the LORD, as the LORD had commanded him.

48 फौजका अधिकृतहरू, हजारका सेनापतिहरू र पचास जनाका कप्‍तानहरू मोशाकहाँ आए ।

Then the officers who were over the units of the army—the commanders of thousands and of hundreds—approached Moses

49 तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “तपाईंका दासहरूले हाम्रो स्वामित्वमा भएका सिपाहीहरूको गन्ती गरेका छन् र एक जना पनि हराएको छैन ।

and said, “Your servants have counted the soldiers under our command, and not one of us is missing.

50 हामी हरेकले पाएका सुनका गहनाहरू, बाजू, बाला, छाप औँठी, कुण्डल र सिक्रीहरू परमप्रभुको सामु हाम्रो प्रायश्‍चित्त गर्नको निम्ति परमप्रभुको भेटी ल्याएका छौँ ।”

So we have brought to the LORD an offering of the gold articles each man acquired—armlets, bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces—to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD.”

51 मोशा र पुजारी एलाजारले सुन र सबै कलात्मक सरसामान तिनीहरूबाट ग्रहण गरे ।

So Moses and Eleazar the priest received from them all the articles made out of gold.

52 तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई दिएका, हजारका सेनापतिहरू र सय जनाका कप्‍तानहरूबाट आएका सुनका भेटीहरूको तौल एक सय नब्बे किलोग्राम थियो ।

All the gold that the commanders of thousands and of hundreds presented as an offering to the LORD weighed 16,750 shekels.

53 हरेक सिपाहीले आ-आफ्नो निम्ति लुटका माल लिएका थिए ।

Each of the soldiers had taken plunder for himself.

54 मोशा र पुजारी एलाजारले हजारका सेनापतिहरू र सयका कप्‍तानहरूबाट सुन लिए । तिनीहरूले यसलाई परमप्रभुको निम्ति इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको याद दिलाउने चिनोको रूपमा भेट हुने पालभित्र लगे ।

And Moses and Eleazar the priest received the gold from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds and brought it into the Tent of Meeting as a memorial for the Israelites before the LORD.
