गन्ती 31

1 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,

AND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

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

Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.

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

And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the Lord of Midian.

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

Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.

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

So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, 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 them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.

7 तिनीहरूले मिद्यनीहरूसँग लडे ।

And they warred against the Midianites, as the Lord commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.

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

And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew 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 ।

And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.

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

And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.

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

And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts.

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 ।

And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.

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

And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.

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

And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.

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

And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?

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

Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the Lord.

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

Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.

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

But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

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 ।

And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.

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

And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats’ hair, and all things made of wood.

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

And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord commanded Moses;

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

Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the 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 ।

Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.

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

And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.

25 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

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

Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:

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

And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all 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 ।

And levy a tribute unto the Lord of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:

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

Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of 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 ।”

And of the children of Israel’s half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord.

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

And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.

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

And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,

33 सत्तरी हजार गोरु,

And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,

34 एकसट्ठी हजार गधा,

And threescore and one thousand asses,

35 र पुरुषसँग कहिल्यै सहवास नगरेका तिस हजार महिला थिए ।

And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.

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

And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:

37 परमप्रभुको भाग ६७५ थियो ।

And the Lord’s tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.

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

And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the Lord’s tribute was threescore and twelve.

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

And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the Lord’s tribute was threescore and one.

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

And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the Lord’s tribute was thirty and two persons.

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

And Moses gave the tribute, which was the Lord’s heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.

42 युद्धमा गएका सिपाहीहरूबाट मोशाले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका आधा भागको सन्दर्भमा

And of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,

43 समुदायको आधा भाग ३,३७,५०० भेडा,

(Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,

44 तिस हजार गोरु,

And thirty and six thousand beeves,

45 ३०,५०० गधा,

And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,

46 र सोह्र हजार महिला थिए ।

And sixteen thousand persons; )

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 ।

Even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord; as the Lord commanded Moses.

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

And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:

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

And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.

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

We have therefore brought an oblation for the Lord, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the Lord.

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

And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.

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

And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the Lord, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.

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

(For the men of war had taken spoil, every man 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 took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the Lord.
