< Deuteronomy 8 >
1 You shall observe to do all the commands which I charge you today, that you may live and be multiplied, and enter in and inherit the land, which the Lord your God sware [to give] to your fathers.
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 you shall remember all the way which the Lord your God led you in the wilderness, that he might afflict you, and try you, and that the things in your heart might be made manifest, whether you would keep his commandments or no.
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 afflicted you and straitened you with hunger, and fed you with manna, which your fathers knew not; that he might teach you that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God shall man live.
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 Your garments grew not old from off you, your shoes were not worn from off you, your feet were not [painfully] hardened, behold! these forty years.
ती चालिस वर्षसम्म तिमीहरूका लुगा च्यातिएर झरेन न त तिमीहरूको गोडा सुन्नियो ।
5 And you shall know in your heart, that as if any man should chasten his son, so the Lord your God will chasten you.
बुबाले आफ्नो छोरोलाई अनुशासनमा राखेझैँ परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई अनुशासनमा राख्नुहुन्छ भनी तिमीहरूले आफ्नो ह्रदयमा ख्याल राख्नू ।
6 And you shall keep the commands of the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
उहाँका मार्गहरूमा हिँडी उहाँलाई आदर गर्न सकून् भनेर तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको आज्ञा मान्नू ।
7 For the Lord your God will bring you into a good and extensive land, where there are torrents of waters, and fountains of deep places issuing through the plains and through the mountains:
किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई बेसीँ र पर्वतहरू हुँदै खोलानाला र मुल भएको असल देशमा ल्याउँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।
8 a land of wheat and barley, [wherein are] vines, figs, pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;
यो गहुँ र जौ अनि दाख र जैतून अनि अनार र जैतून रुखहरूसाथै मह पाउने देश हो ।
9 a land on which you shall not eat your bread with poverty, and you shall not lack any thing upon it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of its mountains you shall dig brass.
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 shall eat and be filled, and shall bless the Lord your God on the good land, which he has given you.
तिमीहरू खाएर अघाउने छौ, अनि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएको असल देशको लागि तिमीहरूले उहाँलाई धन्यको भन्ने छौ ।
11 Take heed to yourself that you forget not the Lord your God, so as not to keep his commands, and his judgements, and ordinances, which I command you this day:
आज मैले तिमीहरूलाई दिएका उहाँका आज्ञाहरू, उहाँका विधिविधानहरूलाई बेवास्ता नगर्न र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरलाई नभुल्न होसियार होओ ।
12 lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and lived in them;
नत्रता तिमीहरूले अघाउञ्जेल खाँदा र तिमीहरूले घरहरू बनाई तिनमा बस्दा तिमीहरूको हृदय घमण्डले फुल्ने छ ।
13 and your oxen and your sheep are multiplied to you, and your silver and your gold are multiplied to you, and all your possessions are multiplied to you,
तिमीहरूका गाईवस्तु र भेडा-बाख्राहरू गुणात्मक रूपमा वृद्धि हुँदा र तिमीहरूका सुन र चाँदीको वृद्धि हुँदा र तिमीहरूसित भएका सबै थोकको वृद्धि हुँदा
14 you should be exalted in heart, and forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage:
तिमीहरूको ह्रदय घमण्डले फुली मिश्र देश अर्थात् दासत्वको देशबाट तिमीहरूलाई ल्याउनुहुने परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरलाई तिमीहरूले नभुल्नलाई होसियार बस ।
15 who brought you through that great and terrible wilderness, where [is] the biting serpent, and scorpion, and drought, where there was no water; who brought you a fountain of water out of the flinty rock:
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 fed you with manna in the wilderness, which you knew not, and your fathers knew not; that he might afflict you, and thoroughly try you, and do you good in your latter days.
तिमीहरूलाई नम्र बनाउन र तिमीहरूको जाँच गरी अन्त्यमा तिमीहरूको भलाइ गर्न उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई उजाड-स्थानमा तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूले कहिल्यै नजानेका मन्न खुवाउनुभयो ।
17 Lest you should say in your heart, My strength, and the power of mine hand have wrought for me this great wealth.
तर तिमीले ह्रदयमा सोचौला, 'मेरो शक्ति र मेरो शक्तिशाली हातले मैले यी सबै सम्पत्ति थुपारेको हुँ ।'
18 But you shall remember the Lord your God, that he gives you strength to get wealth; even that he may establish his covenant, which the Lord sware to 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 shall come to pass if you do at all forget the Lord your God, and should go after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall surely perish.
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 As also the other nations which the Lord God destroys before your face, so shall you perish, because you listened not 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 ।
