< Deuteronomy 8 >

1 Take care to keep all the orders which I give you today, so that you may have life and be increased and go in and take as a heritage the land which the Lord, by his oath to your fathers, undertook to give you.
आज मैले तिमीहरूलाई दिने सबै आज्ञा मान्‍नू ताकि तिमीहरू बाँच्न सक र वृद्धि हुन सक अनि परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूसित प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको देशमा गएर त्यसलाई अधिकार गर्न सक ।
2 And keep in mind the way by which the Lord your God has taken you through the waste land these forty years, so that he might make low your pride and put you to the test, to see what was in your heart and if you would keep his orders or not.
तिमीहरूलाई विनम्र पार्न र तिमीहरूले उहाँका आज्ञाहरू मान्छौ कि मान्दैनौ भनेर तिमीहरूका ह्रदयमा भएको कुरा जाँच गर्न परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले यी चालिस वर्षसम्म तिनीहरूलाई उजाड-स्थानमा डोर्‍याउनुभएका उहाँका सबै मार्गलाई सम्झनू ।
3 And he made low your pride and let you be without food and gave you manna for your food, a thing new to you, which your fathers never saw; so that he might make it clear to you that bread is not man's only need, but his life is in every word which comes out of the mouth of the Lord.
उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई विनम्र तुल्याउनुभयो; भोकले पीडित तुल्याउनुभयो र मन्‍न खुवाउनुभयो जसलाई तिमीहरूले चिनेका थिएनौ न त तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरले चिनेका थिए । मानिस रोटीले मात्र नभई परमप्रभुको मुखबाट निस्केको हरेक कुराले बाँच्दछ भनी तिमीहरूलाई बुझाउन उहाँले यसो गर्नुभयो ।
4 Through all these forty years your clothing did not get old or your feet become tired.
ती चालिस वर्षसम्म तिमीहरूका लुगा च्यातिएर झरेन न त तिमीहरूको गोडा सुन्‍नियो ।
5 Keep in mind this thought, that as a son is trained by his father, so you have been trained by the Lord your God.
बुबाले आफ्नो छोरोलाई अनुशासनमा राखेझैँ परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई अनुशासनमा राख्‍नुहुन्छ भनी तिमीहरूले आफ्नो ह्रदयमा ख्याल राख्‍नू ।
6 Then keep the orders of the Lord your God, fearing him and walking in his ways.
उहाँका मार्गहरूमा हिँडी उहाँलाई आदर गर्न सकून् भनेर तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको आज्ञा मान्‍नू ।
7 For the Lord your God is guiding you into a good land, a land of water-springs, of fountains, and deep streams flowing out from the valleys and the hills;
किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई बेसीँ र पर्वतहरू हुँदै खोलानाला र मुल भएको असल देशमा ल्याउँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।
8 A land of grain and vines and fig-trees and fair fruits; a land of oil-giving olive-trees and honey;
यो गहुँ र जौ अनि दाख र जैतून अनि अनार र जैतून रुखहरूसाथै मह पाउने देश हो ।
9 Where there will be bread for you in full measure and you will be in need of nothing; a land where the very stones are iron and from whose hills you may get copper.
यो त्यही देश हो जहाँ तिमीहरूलाई अन्‍नको अभाव हुने छैन र त्यहाँ कुनै थोकको कमी हुने छैन । यस देशका ढुङ्गाहरू फलामका छन् र त्यहाँका पहाडहरूबाट तिमीहरूले तामा निकाल्ने छौ ।
10 And you will have food enough and be full, praising the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.
तिमीहरू खाएर अघाउने छौ, अनि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएको असल देशको लागि तिमीहरूले उहाँलाई धन्यको भन्‍ने छौ ।
11 Then take care that you are not turned away from the Lord your God and from keeping his orders and decisions and laws which I give you this day:
आज मैले तिमीहरूलाई दिएका उहाँका आज्ञाहरू, उहाँका विधिविधानहरूलाई बेवास्ता नगर्न र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरलाई नभुल्न होसियार होओ ।
12 And when you have taken food and are full, and have made fair houses for yourselves and are living in them;
नत्रता तिमीहरूले अघाउञ्‍जेल खाँदा र तिमीहरूले घरहरू बनाई तिनमा बस्दा तिमीहरूको हृदय घमण्डले फुल्ने छ ।
13 And when your herds and your flocks are increased, and your stores of silver and gold, and you have wealth of every sort;
तिमीहरूका गाईवस्तु र भेडा-बाख्राहरू गुणात्मक रूपमा वृद्धि हुँदा र तिमीहरूका सुन र चाँदीको वृद्धि हुँदा र तिमीहरूसित भएका सबै थोकको वृद्धि हुँदा
14 Take care that your hearts are not lifted up in pride, giving no thought to the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house;
तिमीहरूको ह्रदय घमण्डले फुली मिश्र देश अर्थात् दासत्वको देशबाट तिमीहरूलाई ल्याउनुहुने परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरलाई तिमीहरूले नभुल्नलाई होसियार बस ।
15 Who was your guide through that great and cruel waste, where there were poison-snakes and scorpions and a dry land without water; who made water come out of the hard rock for you;
उहाँलाई नबिर्स जसले तिमीहरूलाई विषालु सर्प र बिच्छीहरू भएको पानी नपाइने विशाल र डरलाग्दो उजाड-स्थानबाट ल्याउनुभयो, जसले तिमीहरूका निम्ति चट्टानबाट पानी निकाल्नुभयो ।
16 Who gave you manna for your food in the waste land, a food which your fathers had never seen; so that your pride might be broken and your hearts tested for your good in the end;
तिमीहरूलाई नम्र बनाउन र तिमीहरूको जाँच गरी अन्त्यमा तिमीहरूको भलाइ गर्न उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई उजाड-स्थानमा तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूले कहिल्यै नजानेका मन्‍न खुवाउनुभयो ।
17 Say not then, in your hearts, My power and the strength of my hands have got me this wealth.
तर तिमीले ह्रदयमा सोचौला, 'मेरो शक्ति र मेरो शक्तिशाली हातले मैले यी सबै सम्पत्ति थुपारेको हुँ ।'
18 But keep in mind the Lord your God: for it is he who gives you the power to get wealth, so that he may give effect to the agreement which he made by his oath with your fathers, as at this day.
तर परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरलाई याद गर्नू किनकि उहाँले नै तिमीहरूलाई सम्पत्ति थुपार्ने शक्ति दिनुहुन्छ । उहाँले नै तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूसित बाँध्‍नुभएको करार स्थापित गर्नुहुन्छ जुन आजको दिनसम्म छ ।
19 And it is certain that if at any time you are turned away from the Lord your God, and go after other gods, to be their servants and to give them worship, destruction will overtake you.
तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरलाई बिर्सी अन्य देवी-देवताहरूको पछि लागेर तिनीहरूको पुजा गर्‍यौ र तिनीहरूको आराधना गर्‍यौ भने तिमीहरू निश्‍चय नै मर्ने छौ भनी म आज तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा गवाही दिन्छु ।
20 Like the nations which the Lord is cutting off before you, so you will be cut off; because you would not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God.
परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको आवाजलाई ध्यान दिएनौ भने तिमीहरूकै सामु परमप्रभुले नष्‍ट गर्नुभएका जातिहरूजस्तै तिमीहरू नष्‍ट हुने छौ ।
