Deuteronomy 4
1 And now give ear, O Israel, to the laws and the decisions which I am teaching you, and do them; so that life may be yours, and you may go in and take for yourselves the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, is giving you.
अब हे इस्राएली हो, मैले तिमीहरूलाई सिकाउनै लागेका विधिविधानहरूलाई सुन । तिनको पालन गरी तिमीहरू जीवित होऊ र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिन लाग्नुभएको देशमा गएर त्यसलाई अधिकार गर ।
2 Make no addition to the orders which I give you, and take nothing from them, but keep the orders of the Lord your God which I give you.
मैले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेका वचनहरूमा नथप्नू न त तीबाट घटाउनू ताकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिन लाग्नुभएका आज्ञाहरू तिमीहरूले पालन गर्न सक ।
3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal-peor: for destruction came from the Lord on all those among you who went after Baal-peor.
बाल-पोरको कारणले परमप्रभुले के गर्नुभयो, त्यो तिमीहरूका आँखाले देखेका छन् । पोरको बाल देवतालाई पछ्याउने सबै मानिसलाई परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूकै बिचबाट नष्ट पारिदिनुभयो ।
4 But you who kept faith with the Lord are living, every one of you, today.
तर परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरसित टाँसिनेहरूमध्ये हरेक आज जीवित छ ।
5 I have been teaching you laws and decisions, as I was ordered to do by the Lord my God, so that you might keep them in the land to which you are going to take it for your heritage.
हेर, परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्वरले मलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ मैले तिमीहरूलाई विधिविधानहरू सिकाएको छु, कि तिमीहरूले अधिकार गर्न लागिरहेको देशमा तिमीहरू प्रवेश गर्दा तिमीहरूले ती पालन गर्नुपर्छ ।
6 So keep these laws and do them; for so will your wisdom and good sense be clear in the eyes of the peoples, who hearing all these laws will say, Truly, this great nation is a wise and far-seeing people.
त्यसकारण ती मान र पालन गर । किनकि जाति-जातिहरूको दृष्टिमा यो तिमीहरूको बुद्धि र समझशक्ति हुने छ जसले यी सबै विधिविधानको बारेमा सुनेर यसो भन्ने छन्, 'निश्यच नै, यो महान् जाति बुद्धिमानी र समझशक्ति भएको जाति रहेछ ।'
7 For what great nation has a god so near to them as the Lord our God is, whenever we are turned to him in prayer?
किनकि हामीले जहिलेसुकै पुकारा गर्दा हाम्रा परमप्रभु परमेश्वर जत्ति नजिक हुनुहुन्छ, त्यति अर्को कुन जातिको ईश्वर नजिक छ?
8 And what great nation has laws and decisions so right as all this law which I put before you today?
आज मैले तिमीहरूका सामु राखिरहेको यो व्यवस्थाजस्तै धार्मिक विधिविधान भएको कुनचाहिँ अर्को महान् जाति छ?
9 Only take care, and keep watch on your soul, for fear that the things which your eyes have seen go from your memory and from your heart all the days of your life; but let the knowledge of them be given to your children and to your children's children;
केवल ध्यान देओ र आ-आफूलाई होसियारीपूर्वक पहरा देओ ताकि तिमीहरूका आँखाले देखेका कुराहरू तिमीहरूले नबिर्स र तिमीहरूका जीवनभरि ती तिमीहरूका ह्रदयबाट नजाऊन् । बरु, ती तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीहरू र नातिनातिनाहरूलाई सिकाओ ।
10 That day when you were waiting before the Lord your God in Horeb, and the Lord said to me, Make all the people come together, so that hearing my words they may go in fear of me all the days of their life on earth and give this teaching to their children.
होरेबमा तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको सामु उभिएको दिनमा परमप्रभुले मलाई यसो भन्नुभयो, 'मानिसहरूलाई जम्मा गर् र म तिनीहरूलाई मेरा वचन सुन्ने बनाउने छु ताकि यस पृथ्वीमा तिनीहरू बाचुञ्जेलसम्म तिनीहरूले मेरो भय मान्न सिकून् र तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीहरूलाई सिकाउन सकून् ।'
11 And you came near, waiting at the foot of the mountain; and flames of fire went up from the mountain to the heart of heaven, with dark clouds, and all was black as night.
तिमीहरू पर्वतको फेदको नजिक आएर उभियौ । पर्वतमा आगो दन्केर आकाशको बिचसम्मै पुग्यो, अनि बाक्लो अन्धकार र बादल छायो ।
12 And the voice of the Lord came to you out of the fire: the sound of his words came to your ears but you saw no form; there was nothing but a voice.
आगोको बिचबाट परमप्रभु तिमीहरूसित बोल्नुभयो । तिमीहरूले बोलिएको वचनको आवाज सुन्यौ तर त्यहाँ तिमीहरूले कुनै स्वरूप देखेनौ । तिमीहरूले आवाज मात्रै सुन्यौ ।
13 And he gave you his agreement with you, the ten rules which you were to keep, which he put in writing on the two stones of the law.
उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई तिमीहरूले पालन गर्नुपर्ने उहाँको करार अर्थात् दस आज्ञाको घोषणा गर्नुभयो । उहाँले तिनलाई दुईवटा शिला-पाटीमा लेख्नुभयो ।
14 And the Lord gave me orders at that time to make clear to you these laws and decisions, so that you might do them in the land to which you are going, and which is to be your heritage.
तिमीहरूलाई विधिविधानहरू सिकाउन त्यस बेला परमप्रभुले मलाई आज्ञा दिनुभयो ताकि पारि गएर तिमीहरूले अधिकार गर्न लागिरहेको देशमा ती पालन गर्न सक ।
15 So keep watch on yourselves with care; for you saw no form of any sort on the day when the voice of the Lord came to you in Horeb out of the heart of the fire:
त्यसैले तिमीहरूले आ-आफूलाई ध्यान देओ किनकि त्यस दिन होरेबमा परमप्रभु आगोको बिचबाट तिमीहरूसित बोल्नुहुँदा तिमीहरूले कुनै स्वरूप देखेनौ ।
16 So that you may not be turned to evil ways and make for yourselves an image in the form of any living thing, male or female,
कुनै पुरुष वा स्त्रीको स्वरूपमा वा खोपेर कुनै पनि प्रतिमा बनाएर वा
17 Or any beast of the earth, or winged bird of the air,
पृथ्वीमा कुनै पशुको स्वरूप वा आकाशमा उड्ने कुनै चराचुरुङ्गी वा
18 Or of anything which goes flat on the earth, or any fish in the water under the earth.
भुइँमा घस्रने कुनै पनि प्राणी वा पृथ्वीमुनि पानीमा भएको कुनै पनि माछाको प्रतिमा बनाएर तिमीहरूले आफूलाई भ्रष्ट नपार ।
19 And when your eyes are lifted up to heaven, and you see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the army of heaven, do not let yourselves be moved to give them worship, or become the servants of what the Lord has given equally to all peoples under heaven.
पुरै आकाशमुनि सबै जातिलाई परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले दिनुभएका सूर्य, चन्द्रमा वा ताराहरूसाथै सबै आकाशीय पिण्डहरू देखेर तिनको पुजा आराधना गर्न आफ्ना आँखा माथि नउठाओ ।
20 But the Lord has taken you out of the flaming fire, out of Egypt, to be to him the people of his heritage, as you are today.
तर परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई उहाँको आफ्नै निज सम्पत्ति (जस्तो आज तिमीहरू छौ) बनाउन आगोको भट्टी अर्थात् मिश्रबाट निकालेर ल्याउनुभएको छ ।
21 And the Lord was angry with me because of you, and made an oath that I was not to go over Jordan into the good land which the Lord is giving you for your heritage:
तिमीहरूका कारणले परमप्रभु मसित रिसाउनुभयो । म यर्दनपारि जान नपाउने र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले सम्पत्तिको रूपमा तिमीहरूलाई दिनुहुने देशमा जान नपाउने गरी उहाँले शपथ खानुभयो ।
22 But death is to come to me in this land, I may not go over Jordan: but you will go over and take that good land for your heritage.
बरु, म यस देशमै मर्नुपर्छ । म यर्दनपारि जान पाउने छैनँ । तर तिमीहरू त्यस असल देशमा गएर त्यसको अधिकार गर्ने छौ ।
23 Take care that you do not let the agreement of the Lord your God, which he has made with you, go out of your mind, or make for yourselves images of any sort, against the orders which the Lord your God has given you.
सावधान बस ताकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूसित बाँध्नुभएको करार तिमीहरूले नभुल र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई निषेध गर्नुभएको कुनै पनि कुराको प्रतिमूर्ति नबनाओ ।
24 For the Lord your God is an all-burning fire, and he will not let the honour which is his be given to any other.
किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर भस्म पार्ने आगो र डाही परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ ।
25 If, when you have had children and children's children, and have been living a long time in the land, you are turned to evil ways, and make an image of any sort, and do evil in the eyes of the Lord your God, moving him to wrath:
तिमीहरूले छोराछोरीहरू र नातिनातिनाहरू जन्माइसकेपछि तिमीहरू लामो समयसम्म त्यस देशमा बस्दा तिमीहरूले आफूलाई भ्रष्ट पारी खोपेर कुनै पनि कुराको प्रतिमूर्ति बनाएर परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको दृष्टिमा दुष्ट काम गरी उहाँलाई चिढ्यायौ भने म आज स्वर्ग र पृथ्वीलाई तिमीहरूका विरुद्धमा साक्षी राख्दछु,
26 May heaven and earth be my witnesses against you today, that destruction will quickly overtake you, cutting you off from that land which you are going over Jordan to take; your days will not be long in that land, but you will come to a complete end.
कि जुन देश अधिकार गर्न तिमीहरू यर्दनपारि जाँदै छौ त्यस देशबाट तिमीहरू चाँडै नै पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट हुने छौ । त्यहाँ तिमीहरू लामो समयसम्म बाँच्ने छैनौ, तर तिमीहरू पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट हुने छौ ।
27 And the Lord will send you wandering among the peoples; only a small band of you will be kept from death among the nations where the Lord will send you.
परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई जाति-जातिहरूका बिचमा तितर-बितर पारिदिनुहुने छ, र उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई धपाउनुभएका जातिहरूका बिचमा तिमीहरूको सङ्ख्या थोरै हुने छ ।
28 There you will be the servants of gods, made by men's hands, of wood and stone, having no power of seeing or hearing or taking food or smelling.
त्यहाँ तिमीहरूले मानिसहरूका हातले बनाइएका काठ र ढुङ्गाका अन्य देवताहरूको सेवा गर्ने छौ जसले न देख्छन् न सुन्छन् न खान्छन् न त सुँघ्छन् ।
29 But if in those lands you are turned again to the Lord your God, searching for him with all your heart and soul, he will not keep himself from you.
तर त्यहीँबाट नै तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको खोजी गर्ने छौ र तिमीहरूका सारा ह्रदय र सारा प्राणले उहाँको खोजी गर्दा तिमीहरूले उहाँलाई भेट्टाउने छौ ।
30 When you are in trouble and all these things have come on you, if, in the future, you are turned again to the Lord your God, and give ear to his voice:
ती पछिल्ला दिनमा तिमीहरू सङ्कष्टमा हुँदा र यी सबै कुरा तिमीहरूमा आइपर्दा तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरमा फर्की उहाँको आवाज सुन्ने छौ ।
31 Because the Lord your God is a God of mercy, he will not take away his help from you or let destruction overtake you, or be false to the agreement which he made by an oath with your fathers.
किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर कृपालु हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई त्याग्नुहुने छैन न त नष्ट गर्नुहुने छ न तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूसित बाँध्नुभएको करारलाई भुल्नुहुने छ ।
32 Give thought now to the days which are past, before your time, from the day when God first gave life to man on the earth, and searching from one end of heaven to the other, see if such a great thing as this has ever been, or if anything like it has been talked of in story.
अब के पहिले कहिल्यै यस्तो महान् घटना भएको थियो वा यस्तो कहिल्यै सुनिएको थियो? तिमीहरूभन्दा अगि बितेका दिनहरू अर्थात् परमेश्वरले पृथ्वीमा मानिस सृजनुभएको दिनको बारेमा सोधपुछ गर । आकाशको एक छेउदेखि अर्को छेउसम्म सोधपुछ गर ।
33 Has any people ever gone on living after hearing the voice of God out of the heart of the fire as you did?
तिमीहरूले सुनेजस्तै आगोको बिचबाट परमेश्वर बोल्नुभएको सुनेर के कुनै जाति कहिल्यै जीवित भएको छ?
34 Has God ever before taken a nation for himself from out of another nation, by punishments and signs and wonders, by war and by a strong hand and a stretched-out arm and great acts of wonder and fear, as the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes?
वा मिश्रमा तिमीहरूका आँखाकै सामुन्ने परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले गर्नुभएझैँ परीक्षा, चिन्ह, आश्चार्य, लडाइँ, शक्तिशाली हात, पसारिएको पाखुरा र महान् त्रासहरूद्वारा अर्को जातिको बिचबाट आफ्नो लागि एउटा जातिलाई लिएर आउन के परमेश्वरले कहिल्यै कोसिस गर्नुभएको छ?
35 All this he let you see, so that you might be certain that the Lord is God and there is no other.
तिमीहरूलाई नै यी कुराहरू देखाइए ताकि तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु नै परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ र उहाँबाहेक अरू कोही ईश्वर छैन भनी तिमीहरूले जान्न सक ।
36 Out of heaven itself his voice came to you, teaching you; and on earth he let you see his great fire; and his words came to your ears out of the heart of the fire.
तिमीहरूलाई निर्देशन दिन उहाँले स्वर्गबाट आफ्नो आवाज तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभयो । पृथ्वीमा उहाँले आफ्नो दन्कने आगो तिमीहरूलाई देखाउनुभयो । तिमीहरूले आगोको बिचबाट उहाँका वचन सुन्यौ ।
37 And because of his love for your fathers, he took their seed and made it his, and he himself, present among you, took you out of Egypt by his great power;
उहाँले तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूलाई प्रेम गर्नुभएकाले उहाँले तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरूलाई चुन्नुभयो अनि उहाँको उपस्थिति र महाशक्तिसहित तिमीहरूलाई मिश्रबाट ल्याउनुभयो ।
38 Driving out before you nations greater and stronger than you, to take you into their land and give it to you for your heritage, as at this day.
उहाँले तिमीहरूकै सामु तिमीहरूभन्दा शक्तिशाली र महान् जातिलाई धपाइदिनुभयो ताकि तिमीहरूलाई भित्र ल्याई सम्पत्तिको रूपमा तिनीहरूको देश दिन सकून् जस्तो आज उहाँले गर्नुभएको छ ।
39 So today be certain, and keep the knowledge deep in your hearts, that the Lord is God, in heaven on high and here on earth; there is no other God.
त्यसकारण आज यो जान र ह्रदयमा राख कि परमप्रभु नै माथि स्वर्ग र तल पृथ्वीमा परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ र अरू कोही छैन ।
40 Then keep his laws and his orders which I give you today, so that it may be well for you and for your children after you, and that your lives may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for ever.
आज मैले तिमीहरूलाई दिएका विधिविधानहरू तिमीहरूले पालन गर ताकि तिमीहरू र तिमीहरू पछि आउने तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीहरूको भलो होस् अनि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले सदाको निम्ति तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएको देशमा तिमीहरूको आयु लामो होस् ।”
41 Then Moses had three towns marked out on the far side of Jordan looking to the east;
तब मोशाले यर्दनको पूर्वपट्टि तिनवटा सहर छाने
42 To which anyone causing the death of his neighbour in error and not through hate, might go in flight; so that in one of these towns he might be kept from death:
ताकि कुनै पनि व्यक्तिले पहिले दुश्मनी नभएका अर्को व्यक्तिलाई अजान अवस्थामा मारेको खण्डमा त्यहाँ भागेर जान सकोस् । यी सहरमध्ये कुनै एउटामा भागेर त्यसले आफ्नो ज्यान बचाउन सक्थ्यो ।
43 The names of the towns were Bezer in the waste land, in the table-land, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan for Manasseh.
यी सहरहरू यिनै थिएः रूबेनीहरूका लागि उजाड-स्थानमा मैदानको बेसेर, गादीहरूका लागि गिलादको रामोत र मनश्शेका सन्तानहरूका लागि बाशानको गोलान ।
44 This is the law which Moses put before the children of Israel:
मोशाले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका सामु राखिदिएको व्यवस्था यही हो ।
45 These are the rules and the laws and the decisions which Moses gave to the children of Israel after they came out of Egypt;
इस्राएलीहरू मिश्रबाट आउँदा तिनले तिनीहरूलाई दिएका करारका आज्ञाहरू, व्यवस्थाहरू र अन्य आज्ञाहरू यी नै हुन् ।
46 On the far side of Jordan, in the valley facing Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel overcame after they had come out of Egypt:
तिनीहरू हेश्बोनमा बस्ने एमोरीहरूका राजा सीहोनको देश बेथ-पोरको सामुन्ने यर्दनको पूर्वपट्टि छँदा मोशाले यी आज्ञाहरू दिएका थिए । मोशा र इस्राएलीहरू मिश्रबाट आउँदा तिनले यी राजालाई हराएका थिए ।
47 And they took his land for a heritage, and the land of Og, king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, whose lands were on the other side of Jordan to the east;
तिनीहरूले तिनको देश र बाशानका राजा ओगको देशमाथि अधिकार गरे । यी एमोरीहरूका दुई राजा थिए जो यर्दनपारि पूर्वपट्टि बस्थे ।
48 From Aroer on the edge of the valley of the Arnon as far as Mount Sion, which is Hermon,
यो क्षेत्र अर्नोनको बेँसीको छेउमा रहेको अर्नोनदेखि सियोन पर्वत (अर्थात् हेर्मोन पर्वत) सम्म
49 And all the Arabah on the far side of Jordan to the east, as far as the sea of the Arabah under the slopes of Pisgah.
र यर्दनपारि पूर्वपट्टि यर्दन नदीको बेँसीको मैदानका सबै भूभागदेखि अराबाको समुद्रसम्म र पिसगा टापुको भिरसम्म पर्थ्यो ।
