गन्ती 32

1 रूबेन र गादका सन्तानहरूका गाईवस्‍तुहरू धेरै थिए । जब तिनीहरूले याजेर र गिलादको भूमी देखे, त्यो भूमी गाईवस्‍तुहरूको निम्ति असाध्यै राम्रो थियो ।

The tribes of Reuben and Gad had large numbers of livestock and saw that the land of Jazer and Gilead was a good place to rear them.

2 त्यसैले गाद र रूबेनका सन्तानहरू आए अनि मोशा, पुजारी एलाजार र समुदायका अगुवाहरूसँग कुरा गरे । तिनीहरूले भने,

So they came to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the Israelite leaders and said,

3 “हामीले सर्वेक्षण गरेका ठाउँहरूका सूची यही होः आतारोत, दीबोन, याजेर, निम्रा, हेश्बोन, एलाले, सबाम, नेबो र बओन ।

“The towns of Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,

4 यी ठाउँहरूलाई परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका समुदायको सामु आक्रमण गर्नुभयो र तिनीहरू गाईवस्‍तुहरूका निम्ति राम्रा ठाउँहरू छन् । हामी तपाईंका दासहरूका गाईवस्‍तुहरू धेरै छन् ।”

which the Lord conquered in full view of the Israelites, are well-suited for the livestock that we your servants own.”

5 तिनीहरूले भने, “यदि हामीले तपाईंको नजरमा कृपा पाएका छौँ भने, यो भूमि तपाईंका दासहरू हामीलाई हाम्रो स्वामित्वमा दिइयोस् । हामीलाई यर्दन पारि नलैजानुहोस् ।”

They continued, “Please respond to our request favorably: give us this land. Don't make us cross the Jordan.”

6 मोशाले गाद र रूबेनका सन्तानहरूलाई जवाफ दिए, “के तिमीहरू बसोवास गर्दा तिमीहरूका दाजुभाइहरूचाहिँ लडाइँमा जाने?

In reply Moses asked the tribes of Gad and Reuben, “Are you expecting your brothers to go and fight while you just sit here?

7 परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई दिनुभएको भूमिमा जानबाट तिनीहरूलाई किन निरुत्साहित पार्ने? मैले कादेश-बर्नेबाट तिमीहरूका बुबाहरूलाई भूमिको जाँचबुझ गर्न पठाउँदा तिनीहरूले त्यही गरे ।

Why discourage the Israelites from crossing into the country that the Lord has given them?

8 तिनीहरू एश्कोलको बेँसीमा गए ।

This is just what your fathers did when I sent them out from Kadesh-barnea to explore the land.

9 तिनीहरूले भूमिलाई देखे र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका मनलाई निरुत्साहित बनाए, ताकि परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभएको भूमिमा प्रवेश गर्न तिनीहरूले इन्कार गरून् ।

After your fathers traveled up the valley of Eshcol and explored the land, they discouraged the Israelites, persuading them not to enter the country that the Lord had given them.

10 परमप्रभुको क्रोध दन्कियो । उहाँले शपथ खानुभयो र भन्‍नुभयो,

As a result, they made the Lord very angry that day, and he swore this oath,

11 'मैले अब्राहाम, इसहाक र याकूबलाई प्रतिज्ञा गरेका भूमिलाई मिश्रबाट आएका बिस वर्षभन्दा माथिका कसैले देख्‍ने छैनन्, किनभने

‘Not a single one of those I saved from Egypt who is twenty years old or older will ever see the land I promised with an oath to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, because they were not completely committed to me—

12 यपुन्‍नेका छोरा कालेब र नूनका छोरा यहोशूले बाहेक तिनीहरूले मलाई पूर्ण रूपमा अनुसरण गरेका छैनन् । कालेब र यहोशूले मात्र मलाई पूर्ण रूपमा अनुसरण गरेका छन् ।'

no one except Caleb, son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, and Joshua, son of Nun, because they were completely committed to me.’

13 त्यसैले परमप्रभुको क्रोध इस्राएल विरुद्ध दन्कियो । उहाँको नजरमा दुष्‍टता गर्ने सबै पुस्ता विनाश नभएसम्म उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई मरुभूमिमा यताउता भौतारिन लगाउनुभयो ।

The Lord was angry with Israel, and made them wander around in the desert for forty years, until the whole generation who had done evil in his sight had died.

14 हेर, तिमीहरू आफ्ना बुबाहरूको स्थानमा अझ धेरै पापी मानिसहरूझैँ इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा परमप्रभुको क्रोध उराल्न खडा भएका छौ ।

Now look at you, you brood of sinners who have come to take your fathers' place to make the Lord even angrier with Israel!

15 यदि तिमीहरू उहाँलाई पछ्याउनबाट तर्कियौ भने, उहाँले इस्राएललाई फेरि पनि मरुभूमिमा नै छोड्नुहुने छ र तिमीहरूले यी सबै मानिसलाई नष्‍ट पार्ने छौ ।

If you give up following him, he will abandon these people in the desert once again, and their deaths will be your fault!”

16 त्यसैले तिनीहरू मोशाको नजिक आए र भने, “यहाँ हाम्रा गाईवस्‍तुहरूका निम्ति खोर र हाम्रा परिवारहरूका निम्ति सहर बनाउन अनुमति दिनुहोस् ।

Then the tribes of Gad and Reuben came to Moses and told him, “We would plan to build stone walls to keep our livestock safe and towns for our children.

17 तथापि, हामी आफैचाहिँ तिनीहरूलाई आ-आफ्नो ठाउँमा नलगेसम्म हामी हतियारसहित इस्राएलको फौजसँग जान्छौँ । तर अझै यस भूमिमा रहेका अन्य मानिसहरूका कारण हाम्रा परिवारहरूचाहिँ किल्लाबन्दी गरिएका सहरहरूमा बस्‍ने छन् ।

But we will still get ourselves ready for battle, and we will be prepared to lead the Israelites until they can safely occupy their land. In the meantime, our children will stay behind, living in the fortified towns to protect them from the local people.

18 इस्राएलका हरेक मानिसले आ-आफ्नो उत्तराधिकर नपाएसम्म हामी हाम्रो घरतिर फर्कने छैनौँ ।

We won't return to our homes until every Israelite is in possession of their allotted land.

19 हामीले तिनीहरूसँग यर्दन पारिपट्टि अंश पाउनेछै नौँ, किनभने हाम्रो अंश यहीँ यर्दनको पूर्वीपट्टि नै छ ।

However, we won't own any land on the other side of the Jordan because we've received this land to own on this eastern side of the Jordan.”

20 त्यसैले मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिए, “यदि तिमीहरूले आफूले भनेबमोजिम गर्छौ, तिमीहरू हातहतियारसहित परमप्रभुको सामु युद्ध गर्न जान्छौ भने,

Moses responded, “If this is what you will actually do, if you will get yourselves ready for battle under the Lord's direction,

21 परमप्रभुले उहाँका शत्रुहरूलाई उहाँको सामुबाट नधपाउनुभएसम्म र

and if all your troops cross the Jordan with the Lord until he has driven out his enemies ahead of him,

22 उहाँको सामु भूमिलाई कब्जा नगरेसम्म तिमीहरू सबै हातहतियारसहित परमप्रभुको सामु यर्दन पारि तर्नुपर्छ । त्यसपछि तिमीहरू फर्कन सक्छौ । तिमीहरू परमप्रभु र इस्राएलका सामु दोषरहित हुने छौ । यो भूमि परमप्रभुको सामु तिमीहरूको सम्पत्ति हुने छ ।

then once the country is conquered with the Lord's help then you may return, and you will have fulfilled your obligations to the Lord and to Israel. You will own this land, granted to you by the Lord.

23 तर यदि तिमीहरूले यसो गरेनौ भने, हेर, तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु विरुद्ध पाप गरेका हुने छौ । तिमीहरूका पापले अवश्य नै फेला पार्ने छ ।

But if you fail to do this, you will clearly be sinning against the Lord, and the consequences of your sin will catch up with you.

24 तिमीहरूका परिवारहरूका निम्ति सहरहरू र भेडाबाख्राहरूका निम्ति खोर बनाओ; तिमीहरूले जे भनेका छौ सो गर ।”

Go ahead and build towns for your children and stone walls for your flocks, but make sure you do what you've promised!”

25 गाद र रूबेनका सन्तानहरूले मोशालाई भने, “तपाईंका दासहरूले हाम्रा मालिकले आज्ञा गरेअनुसार गर्ने छन् ।

The tribes of Gad and Reuben promised Moses, “Sir, we your servants will do just as you have ordered.

26 हाम्रा बालबच्‍चाहरू, हाम्रा पत्‍नीहरू, हाम्रा गाईवस्‍तुहरू र हाम्रा सबै भेडाबाख्रा गिलादका सहरहरूमा रहने छन् ।

Our wives and children, our livestock and all our animals, will all remain here in the towns of Gilead.

27 तथापि, हामी तपाईंका दासहरू हाम्रा मालिकले भन्‍नुभएबमोजिम नै लडाइँको निम्त हातहतियारसहित परमप्रभुको सामु पारि जाने छन् ।”

But we your servants are ready for battle, and all our troops will cross over to fight with the Lord's help, just as you have said, sir.”

28 त्यसैले मोशाले तिनीहरूको बारेमा पुजारी एलाजार, नूनका छोरा यहोशू र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका कुल-कुलका अगुवाहरूलाई निर्देशन दिए ।

Moses gave the following instructions about them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua, son of Nun, and to the family leaders of the tribes of Israel.

29 मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “गाद र रूबेनका सन्तानहरू परमप्रभुको सामु लड्न हातहतियारसहित तिमीहरूसँगै यर्दन पारि जाने छन्, र यदि भूमिलाई तिमीहरूको सामु कब्जा गरियो भने, तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई गिलादको भूमि अंशको रूपमा दिनू ।

Moses told them, “If the tribes of Gadites and Reuben cross the Jordan with you, with all their troops ready for battle with the Lord's help, and the land is conquered as you advance, then give them the land of Gilead to own.

30 तर यदि तिनीहरू तिमीहरूसँगै हातहतियारसहित पारि गएनन् भने, तिनीहरूले पनि कनानको मुलुकमा नै तिमीहरूमाझ अंश प्राप्‍त गर्ने छन् ।”

But if they don't get themselves ready for battle and cross over with you, then they must accept their allotted land among you in the country of Canaan.”

31 त्यसैले गाद र रूबेनका सन्तानहरूले जवाफ दिए, “परमप्रभुले हामी तपाईंका दासहरूलाई भन्‍नुभएबमोजिम हामीले यसै गर्ने छौँ ।

The tribes of Gad and Reuben responded, “We will do just as the Lord has told us, your servants.

32 हामी परमप्रभुको सामु हातहतियारसहित कनानको भूमिमा पारि जानेछौँ, तर हाम्रो स्वामित्वमा रहेको अंश यर्दन वारि हामीसँग रहने छ ।”

We will cross over and enter the country of Canaan ready for battle with the Lord's help, so that we may have our allotted share of land on this side of the Jordan.”

33 त्यसैले मोशाले एमोरी राजा सीहोन र बाशानका राजा ओगको राज्य गाद र रूबेनका सन्तानहरूसाथै योसेफका छोरा मनश्शेका आधा कुललाई दिए । तिनले त्यो भूमि तिनीहरूलाई दिए र यसका सिमानासहित सबै सहरहरू, त्यस वरिपरिका भूमिमा भएका सहरहरू भाग लगाए ।

So Moses gave to the tribes of Gad and Reubenites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og, king of Bashan. This land included its towns and their surrounding area.

34 गादका सन्तानहरूले दीबोन, अतारोत, अरोएर,

The people of Gad rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,

35 अत्रोत-शोपान, याजेर, योगबहा,

Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,

36 बेथ-निम्रा, बेथ-हारान सहरहरूलाई पर्खालले घेरेर भेडाबाख्राहरूका निम्ति खोरहरू बनाए ।

Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran as fortified towns, and they built stone walls for their flocks.

37 रूबेनका सन्तानहरूले हेश्बोन, एलाले, किर्यातैयम,

The people of Reuben rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,

38 नेबो, बालमोन, यिनीहरूका नाउँ पछि फेरियो र शिब्मा बनाए । तिनीहरूले पुनर्निर्माण गरेका सहरहरू नाउँ अरू नै राखे ।

as well as Nebo and Baal-meon (changing their names), and Sibmah. In fact they renamed those towns they rebuilt.

39 मनश्शेका छोरा माकीरका सन्तानहरू गिलादमा गए र त्यहाँ बसोबास गर्ने एमोरीहरूबाट यसलाई कब्जा गरे ।

The descendants of Machir, son of Manasseh, attacked Gilead and captured it. They drove out the Amorites who were living there.

40 त्यसपछि मोशाले मनश्शेका छोरा माकीरलाई गिलाद दिए, र तिनका मानिसहरू त्यहाँ बसोबास गरे ।

So Moses gave Gilead to the family of Machir, son of Manasseh, and they settled there.

41 मनश्शेका छोरा याईर गए र यसका नगरहरू कब्जा गरे र तिनीहरूको नाउँ हब्बात-याईर राखे ।

Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, attacked their villages and captured them. He named them the Villages of Jair.

42 नोबाह गए र केनात र यसका गाउँहरू कब्जा गरे अनि तिनले यसको नाउँ आफ्नै नाउँमा नोबह राखे ।

Nobah attacked Kenath and captured it, along with its villages. He named it Nobah after himself.
