Deuteronomy 9
1 Give ear, O Israel: today you are to go over Jordan, to take the heritage of nations greater and stronger than yourselves, and towns of great size with walls as high as heaven;
हे इस्राएल हो, सुन । तिमीहरूभन्दा महान् र शक्तिशाली जातिहरू अनि आकाशै छुने पर्खाल लगाएका ठुला-ठुला सहरहरूमाथि अधिकार गर्न आज तिमीहरूले यर्दन पार गर्नै लागेका छौ ।
2 A people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, of whom you have knowledge and of whom it has been said, All are forced to give way before the sons of Anak.
तिनीहरू महान् र अग्ला छन् जो अनाकका छोराहरू हुन् जसको बारेमा तिमीहरूलाई थाहै छ र 'अनाकका छोराहरूको सामु को खडा हुन सक्छ?' भनी तिमीहरूले सुनेकै छौ ।
3 Be certain then today that it is the Lord your God who goes over before you like an all-burning fire; he will send destruction on them, crushing them before you; and you will send them in flight, putting an end to them quickly, as the Lord has said.
त्यसकारण, आज यो जानिराख कि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर नै भस्म गर्ने आगोजस्तै तिमीहरूभन्दा अगिअगि जानुहुन्छ । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट पार्नुहुने छ, र तिमीहरूको अधीनमा ल्याउनुहुने छ । त्यसैले परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई भन्नुभएझैँ तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई धपाउने छौ, र तिनीहरूलाई चाँडै नै नष्ट पार्ने छौ ।
4 And after the Lord has sent them in flight from before you, say not in your heart, Because of my righteousness the Lord has given me this land; when it is because of their evil-doing that the Lord is driving these nations out before you.
तिमीहरूकै सामु परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई निकाल्नुभएपछि आफ्नो ह्रदयमा यसो नभन, 'मेरो धार्मिकताको कारणले गर्दा परमप्रभुले मलाई यो देश अधिकार गर्न ल्याउनुभएको छ ।' बरु यी जातिहरूको दुष्टताको कारणले परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई तिमीहरूकै सामु धपाउँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।
5 Not for your righteousness or because your hearts are upright are you going in to take their land; but because of the evil-doing of these nations the Lord your God is driving them out from before you, and to give effect to his oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
तिमीहरूको धार्मिकता वा तिमीहरूको ह्रदयको सोझोपनको कारणले गर्दा तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूको देश अधिकार गर्न लागेका होइनौ, तर यी जातिहरूको दुष्टताको कारणले गर्दा तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूकै सामुन्ने तिनीहरूलाई धपाउँदै हुनुहुन्छ ताकि उहाँले तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरू अब्राहाम, इसहाक र याकूबसित शपथ खानुभएको वचनलाई सत्य साबित गर्न सकून् ।
6 Be certain then that the Lord your God is not giving you this good land as a reward for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people.
त्यसकारण यो जानिराख, कि तिमीहरूको धार्मिकताको कारणले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले यो असल देश तिमीहरूलाई अधिकारको लागि दिन लाग्नुभएको होइन किनकि तिमीहरू त हठी मानिसहरू हौ ।
7 Keep well in mind how you made the Lord your God angry in the waste land; from the day when you went out of Egypt till you came to this place, you have gone against the orders of the Lord.
उजाड-स्थानमा तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरलाई कसरी क्रोधित तुल्यायौ भनी याद राख । तिमीहरूले मिश्र देश छाडेदेखि तिमीहरू यस ठाउँमा नआउञ्जेलसम्म तिमीहरू परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा विद्रोही बनेका छौ ।
8 Again in Horeb you made the Lord angry, and in his wrath he would have put an end to you.
साथै, हेब्रोनमा तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई क्रोधित तुल्यायौ, र तिमीहरूलाई नाशै पार्ने गरी उहाँ क्रुद्ध हुनुभयो ।
9 When I had gone up into the mountain to be given the stones on which was recorded the agreement which the Lord made with you, I was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights without taking food or drinking water.
परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूसित बाँध्नुभएका करारका शिला-पाटीहरू लिन म पर्वतमा उक्लँदा म चालिस दिन चालिस रातसम्म पर्वतमा बसेँ । मैले न रोटी खाएँ, न पानी पिएँ ।
10 And the Lord gave me the two stones with writing on them done by the finger of God: on them were recorded all the words which the Lord said to you on the mountain out of the heart of the fire, on the day of the great meeting.
परमप्रभुले मलाई आफ्नै औँलाले लेख्नुभएका दुईवटा शिला-पाटी दिनुभयो । सभाको दिनमा आगोको बिचबाट परमप्रभुले पर्वतमा बोल्नुभएका सबै वचन तिनमा लेखिएका थिए ।
11 Then at the end of forty days and forty nights the Lord gave me those stones, the stones of the agreement.
ती चालिस दिन र चालिस रातको अन्त्यमा परमप्रभुले मलाई करारका दुईवटा शिला-पाटी दिनुभयो ।
12 And the Lord said to me, Get up now, and go down quickly from this place; for the people you have taken out of Egypt have given themselves over to evil; they have quickly been turned from the way in which I gave them orders to go; they have made themselves a metal image.
परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, 'उठेर छिटो गरी यहाँबाट तल जा किनकि तैँले मिश्रबाट ल्याएका तेरा मानिसहरूले आफैलाई भ्रष्ट पारेका छन् । मैले तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेको मार्गबाट तिनीहरू चाँडै नै तर्केर गएका छन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्नो निम्ति ढलौटे मूर्ति बनाएका छन् ।'
13 And then the Lord said to me, I have seen that this people is stiff-necked:
यसबाहेक, परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, 'मैले यी मानिसहरूलाई देखेको छु र तिनीहरू हठी छन् ।
14 Let me send destruction on them till their very name is cut off; and I will make of you a nation greater and stronger than they.
मलाई एक्लै छोडिदे ताकि मैले तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नू सकूँ र स्वर्गमूनिबाट तिनीहरूको नाउँ मेटाइदिन सकूँ र तँबाट नै तिनीहरूभन्दा महान् र शक्तिशाली जाति बनाउन सकूँ ।'
15 So turning round I came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire; and the two stones of the agreement were in my hands.
त्यसैले म फर्केर पर्वतबाट ओर्ली आएँ, अनि पर्वत जलिरहेको थियो । करारका दुईवटा शिला-पाटी मेरा हातमा थिए ।
16 And I saw that you had done evil against the Lord, and had made for yourselves a metal image of a young ox: you had quickly been turned from the way in which the Lord had given you orders to go.
मैले हेरेँ र तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका थियौ । तिमीहरूले आफ्नो निम्ति बाछाको ढलौटे मूर्ति बनाएका थियौ । परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएको मार्गबाट तिमीहरू चाँडै नै तर्केर गएका थियौ ।
17 And I let the stones go from my hands, and they were broken before your eyes.
मैले ती दुईवटा शिला-पाटीलाई लिएर मेरा हातबाट फालिदिएँ । मैले तिमीहरूकै सामु तिनलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिदिएँ ।
18 And I went down on my face before the Lord, as at the first, for forty days and forty nights, without taking food or drinking water, because of all your sin, in doing evil in the eyes of the Lord and moving him to wrath.
फेरि, मैले न रोटी खाएँ न पानी पिएँ । परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा दुष्ट काम गरेर उहाँलाई चिढ्याई तिमीहरूका सबै पापको कारणले गर्दा चालिस दिन र चालिस रातसम्म म परमप्रभुको सामु लम्पसार परेँ ।
19 For I was full of fear because of the wrath of the Lord which was burning against you, with your destruction in view. But again the Lord's ear was open to my prayer.
किनकि तिमीहरूलाई नाशै पार्ने गरी तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा भएको परमप्रभुको रिस र कडा बेखुसीको कारणले म भयभीत भएँ । तर त्यस बेला पनि परमप्रभुले मेरो कुरा सुन्नुभयो ।
20 And the Lord, in his wrath, would have put Aaron to death: and I made prayer for Aaron at the same time.
हारूनलाई नष्ट गर्ने गरी उहाँ तिनीसित ज्यादै रिसाउनुभयो । त्यस बेला मैले हारूनको लागि पनि प्रार्थना गरेँ ।
21 And I took your sin, the image which you had made, and put it in the fire and had it hammered and crushed very small till it was only dust: and the dust I put in the stream flowing down from the mountain.
मैले तिमीहरूको पाप अर्थात् तिमीहरूले बनाएको बाछो लिएर त्यसलाई जलाइदिएँ अनि त्यसलाई चकनाचुर पारेर धूलोपिठो पारिदिएँ । मैले त्यस धूलोलाई पर्वतबाट आउने खोलामा फालिदिएँ ।
22 Again at Taberah and at Massah and at Kibroth-hattaavah you made the Lord angry.
तबेरा, मस्साह र किब्रोथ-हत्तावामा तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई क्रोधित तुल्यायौ ।
23 And when the Lord sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and take the land which I have given you; you went against the orders of the Lord your God, and had no faith in him, and would not give ear to his voice.
परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई कादेश-बर्नेमा यसो भनी पठाउनुहुँदा, 'मैले तिमीहरूलाई दिएको देशमा गएर त्यसलाई अधिकार गर' तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूको परमेश्वरको आज्ञाको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गर्यौ, अनि उहाँको कुरा मानेनौ वा सुनेनौ ।
24 From the day when I first had knowledge of you, you have gone against the word of the Lord.
मैले तिमीहरूलाई चिनेको दिनदेखि नै तिमीहरू परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा बागी भएका छौ ।
25 So I went down on my face in prayer before the Lord for forty days and forty nights as I did at first; because the Lord had said that he would put an end to you.
परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नुहुनेथियो भनी उहाँले भन्नुभएकोले म चालिस दिन चालिस रातसम्म उहाँको सामु लम्पसार परेँ ।
26 And I made prayer to the Lord and said, O Lord God, do not send destruction on your people and your heritage, to whom, by your great power, you have given salvation, whom you have taken out of Egypt by the strength of your hand.
मैले परमप्रभुलाई यसो भनी प्रार्थना चढाएँ, 'हे परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, तपाईंले आफ्ना मानिसहरू अर्थात् तपाईंको सम्पत्तिलाई नष्ट नगर्नुहोस् जसलाई तपाईंले आफ्नो महान्ताद्वारा छुटकारा दिनुभएको छ र आफ्नो शक्तिशाली हातले मिश्रबाट ल्याउनुभएको छ ।
27 Keep in mind your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, not looking at the hard heart of this people, or their evil-doing and their sin:
तपाईंका दासहरू अब्राहाम, इसहाक र याकूबलाई सम्झनुहोस् । यो जातिको हठलाई नहेर्नुहोस् न त तिनीहरूका दुष्टता र पापलाई नै हेर्नुहोस् ।
28 Or it may be said in the land from which you have taken them, Because the Lord was not able to take them into the land which he said he would give them, and because of his hate for them, he has taken them out to put them to death in the waste land.
नत्रता तपाईंले हामीलाई जुन देशबाट ल्याउनुभयो त्यसले भन्ला, 'परमप्रभुले प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको देशमा उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई लैजान नसक्नुभएकोले र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई घृणा गर्नुभएकोले तिनीहरूलाई उजाड-स्थानमा मार्न उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर ल्याउनुभएको छ ।'
29 But still they are your people and your heritage, whom you took out by your great power and by your stretched-out arm.
तथापि तिनीहरू तपाईंका मानिसहरू र तपाईंको सम्पत्ति हुन् जसलाई तपाईंले आफ्नो महाशक्ति र तपाईंको शक्तिको प्रदर्शनीद्वारा बाहिर ल्याउनुभयो ।'
