¹इस्राएली मानिसहरूले मिश्र देश छोडेको दोस्रो वर्षको पहिलो महीनामा सीनै पहाडको मरूभूमिमा परमप्रभु मोशासित यसो भन्दै बोल्नुभयो,

¹And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

²“इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले तोकिएको दिन निस्तार चाड मान्नु पर्छ।

²Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season.

³तिमीहरूले यस चाडलाई यसै महिनाको चौधौं दिनको गोधुली समयमा मान्नु पर्छ। तिमीहरूले सबै नियम र विधि-विधानहरू पालन गरेर यो चाड मनाउनु पर्छ।”

³In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it.

⁴यसर्थ मोशाले मानिसहरूलाई निस्तार पर्व मनाउन लगाए।

⁴And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover.

⁵तिनीहरूले पहिलो महीनाको चौधौं दिन गोधुली वेलामा सीनैको मरूभूमिमा निस्तार चाड मनाए। इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुले मोशालाई आज्ञा दिनु भए बमोजिम नै मनाए।

⁵And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.

⁶तर केही मानिसहरूले त्यस दिन निस्तार चाड मनाउन सकेनन् कारण तिनीहरूले मान्छेको लाश छुएका थिए। यसर्थ ती मानिसहरू त्यस दिन मोशा तथा हारून भएकहाँ गए।

⁶And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:

⁷ती मानिसहरूले मोशालाई भने, “हामीले मान्छेको लाश छोएर अशुद्ध भएको कारण पूजाहारीले हामीलाई तोकिएको समयमा परमप्रभुलाई उपहार चढाउन दिएनन्। यसर्थ हामीले तोकिएको समयमा अरू मानिसहरूसित निस्तार चाड मनाउन सकेनौं र अब हामीले के गर्नु पर्ने हो।”

⁷And those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel?

⁸मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “यस विषयमा परमप्रभुले के भन्नु हुनेछ म उहाँलाई सोध्छु।”

⁸And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you.

⁹And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁰“इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई यसो भन। यो नियम तिनीहरू र तिनीहरूका भावी सन्तानहरूका निम्ति हो। यदि कसैले एउटा मुर्दालाई छुन्छ अनि अपवित्र हुन्छ अथवा कोही टाडा गएका छन् यस्तो दुवै अवस्थामा पनि उसले यो निस्तार चाढ मनाउनु पर्छ।

¹⁰Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD.

¹¹तिनीहरूलाई यो चाड दोस्रो महीनाको चौधौं दिनको गोधुली बेलामा मनाउन देऊ। तिनीहरूले थुमासित अखमीरे रोटी र तीतो साग खानु पर्छ।

¹¹The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

¹²तिनीहरूले चढाएको निस्तारबलि भोलिपल्ट बिहानसम्म त्यसबाट केही बाँकी नराख्‌न् र त्यसको कुनै हड्डी नभाँच्नु। सबै निस्तार चाडको नियम अनुसार तिनीहरूले मानुन्।

¹²They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.

¹³तर यदि कुनै मानिस शुद्ध छ अनि टाडा पनि गएको छैन अनि अझ उसले निस्तार चाड मनाउँदैन भने, रातको समयमा उसले परमप्रभुलाई बलिदान नचढाएको खण्डमा उसलाई उसको मानिसहरूबाट बहिष्कार गर्नु पर्छ। त्यस्तो व्यक्तिले उसको पापको निम्ति दण्ड पाउनेछ।

¹³But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.

¹⁴“यदि कुनै विदेशी तिमीहरूसित स्थायी रूपले बसोबास गरिरहेको छ अनि उसले पनि निस्तार चाड मनाउन चाहन्छ भने उसले मनाउन सक्छ, तर त्यस व्यक्तिले निस्तार चाडको नियम पालन गर्नु पर्छ। त्यो प्रत्येकको निम्ति नियम हो।”

¹⁴And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.

¹⁵पवित्र वास स्थान, करारको पाल खडा गरेको दिन परमप्रभुको बादलले त्यसलाई ढाक्यो। पवित्र स्थान माथिको बादल राती आगो जस्तो देखियो।

¹⁵And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.

¹⁶सब समय त्यो बादल पवित्र पालमाथि रह्यो र राती चाँहि त्यो बादल आगो जस्तो देखिन्थ्यो।

¹⁶So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.

¹⁷जब पालमाथिको बादल सर्थ्यो इस्राएली मानिसहरू पनि हिंडथे र जब बादल पालमाथि अडिन्थ्यो ती मानिसहरूले त्यहीं शिविर हाल्थे।

¹⁷And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.

¹⁸जब परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नु भयो मानिसहरू हिंडे र जब वहाँले आज्ञा दिनुभयो मानिसहरू हिडन बन्द गरे र तिनीहरूले छाउनी स्थापित गरे। जबसम्म पवित्र पालमाथि बादल रहन्थ्यो मानिसहरू छाउनी भित्र रहन्थे।

¹⁸At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.

¹⁹कोही समय बादल पवित्र पालमाथि लामो समयको निम्ति रहन्थ्यो। इस्राएलीहरूले परमप्रभुको आज्ञा पालन गरेर कतै सर्दैन थिए।

¹⁹And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not.

²⁰कहिले काही बादल पवित्र पाल माथि केही दिनको लागि रहन्थ्यो। परमप्रभुको आज्ञामा तिनीहरू छाउनी बसाल्थे र परमप्रभुकै आज्ञामा तिनीहरू सर्थे।

²⁰And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the LORD they abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed.

²¹अनि कोही बेला साँझदेखि बिहान सम्मै अडिन्थ्यो, र बिहान बादल सरे पछि तिनीहरू पनि हिडथे।

²¹And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.

²²दुई दिन, एक महिना अथवा पुरै एक वर्ष बादल पवित्र स्थानको पाल माथि अडिरहे इस्राएलको मानिसहरूको शिविर पनि त्यहीं रहन्थ्यो र कतै सर्दैनथ्यो। तर जब त्यो बादल सर्थ्यो इस्राएलका मानिसहरू पनि यात्रा शुरू गर्थे।

²²Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.

²³परमप्रभुको आज्ञा अनुसार तिनीहरूले शिविर हाले अनि परमप्रभुकै आज्ञा अनुसार यात्रा शुरू गरे। मोशाद्वारा तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको आज्ञा पालन गरे।

²³At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
