< Deuteronomy 1 >
1 These [are] the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on this side Jordan in the desert towards the west near the Red Sea, between Pharan Tophol, and Lobon, and Aulon, and the gold works.
यर्दन नदीको बेँसीको मैदानमा सुपको सामुन्ने अराबामा पारान, तोफेल, लाबान, हसेरोत र दीसाहाबका बिचमा यर्दनपारिको उजाड-स्थानमा मोशाले सबै इस्राएलीलाई दिएका वचन यिनै हुन् ।
2 [It is] a journey of eleven days from Choreb to mount Seir as far as Cades Barne.
होरेबदेखि सेइर पर्वतको बाटो भएर कादेश-बर्नेसम्म पुग्न एघार दिन लाग्छ ।
3 And it came to pass in the forties year, in the eleventh month, on the first [day] of the month, Moses spoke to all the children of Israel, according to all things which the Lord commanded him for them:
चालिसौँ वर्षको एघारौँ महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा मोशाले इस्राएलका सबै मानिसलाई परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूको बारेमा मोशालाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएका सबै कुरा तिनले तिनीहरूलाई बताइदिए ।
4 after he had struck Seon king of the Amorites who lived in Esebon, and Og the king of Basan who lived in Astaroth and in Edrain;
हेश्बोनमा बस्ने एमोरीहरूका राजा सीहोन र एद्रईको अस्तारोतमा बस्ने बाशानका राजा ओगलाई परमप्रभुले आक्रमण गर्नुभएपछि यो भएको थियो ।
5 beyond Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to declare this law, saying,
यर्दनपारि मोआब देशमा मोशाले यी निर्देशनहरू दिन थाले,
6 The Lord your God spoke to us in Choreb, saying, Let it suffice you to have lived [so long] in this mountain.
“परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वर यसो भन्दै होरेबमा हामीसित बोल्नुभयो, 'तिमीहरू यस डाँडामा बसेको धेरै भइसकेको छ ।
7 Turn you and depart and enter into the mountain of the Amorites, and [go] to all that dwell near about Araba, to the mountain and the plain and to the south, and the land of the Chananites near the sea, and Antilibanus, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
आफ्नो यात्रा सुरु गरी एमोरीहरूको पहाडी देश र त्यसका छेउछाउका सबै ठाउँ अर्थात् यर्दन नदीको बेँसीको मैदान, पहाडी देश, तराई, नेगेव र समुद्रीतटमा कनानीहरूको देश र लेबनान र महानदी यूफ्रेटिससम्म जाओ ।
8 Behold, [God] has delivered the land before you; go in and inherit the land, which I sware to your fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, to give it to them and to their seed after them.
हेर, मैले यो देश तिमीहरूको सामु राखिदिएको छु । परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरू अर्थात् अब्राहाम, इसहाक र याकूबसित तिनीहरू र तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरूलाई दिने प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको देशमा गएर यसलाई कब्जा गर ।'
9 And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I shall not be able by myself to bear you.
त्यस बेला मैले तिमीहरूलाई यसो भनेँ, 'म एक्लै तिमीहरूलाई अगुवाइ गर्न सक्दिनँ ।
10 The Lord your God has multiplied you, and, behold, you are today as the stars of heaven for multitude.
परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूको वृद्धि गराउनुभएको छ, अब हेर आज तिमीहरू आकाशका तारापुञ्जजस्तै धेरै भएका छौ ।
11 The Lord God of your fathers add to you a thousand-fold more than you are, and bless you as he has spoken to you.
परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाका परमेश्वरले आफूले प्रतिज्ञा गरेअनुसार तिमीहरूलाई हजारौँ गुणा वृद्धि गरी तिमीहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुभएको होस् ।
12 How shall I alone be able to bear your labour, and your burden, and your gainsayings?
तर म आफैले मात्र कसरी तिमीहरूका भार, तिमीहरूका बोझ र तिमीहरूका झगडाहरू बोक्न सक्छु?
13 Take to yourselves wise and understanding and prudent men for your tribes, and I will set your leaders over you.
हरेक कुलबाट बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरू, समझशक्ति भएकाहरू र असल नाम चलेकाहरूलाई छान र म तिनीहरूलाई तिमीहरूका नायक नियुक्त गर्ने छु ।'
14 And you answered me and said, The thing which you have told us [is] good to do.
तिमीहरूले जवाफ दिई मलाई भन्यौ, 'तपाईंले भन्नुभएको कुरो हाम्रो निम्ति असल छ ।'
15 So I took of you wise and understanding and prudent men, and I set them to rule over you as rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, and rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens, and officers to your judges.
त्यसैले मैले तिमीहरूका कुलहरूबाट मुख्य मानिसहरू, बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरू, असल नाउँ चलेकाहरूलाई छानी तिनीहरूलाई तिमीहरूका नायक बनाएँ ताकि तिनीहरूले कुल-कुलअनुसार हजार, सय, पचास र दसको रेखदेख गरून् ।
16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [causes] between your brethren, and judge rightly between a man and [his] brother, and the stranger that is with him.
त्यस बेला मैले तिमीहरूका न्यायकर्ताहरूलाई यसो भनी आज्ञा दिएँ, 'तिमीहरूका दाजुभाइहरूका बिचमा भएको झगडालाई सुनी कुनै मानिस, भाइ र तिमीहरूका परदेशीको बिचमा धार्मिकतापूर्वक न्याय गर ।
17 You shall not have respect to persons in judgement, you shall judge small and great equally; you shall not shrink from before the person of a man, for the judgement is God's; and whatever matter shall be too hard for you, you shall bring it to me, and I will hear it.
झगदा हुँदा कसैको पक्षपात नगर । साना-ठुला दुवैको कुरामा समान रूपमा ध्यान देओ । मानिसको अनुहारदेखि नडराओ किनकि न्याय परमेश्वरको हो । तिमीहरूले मिलाउन नसक्ने झगडा मकहाँ ल्याओ र म त्यो सुन्ने छु ।'
18 And I charged upon you at that time all the commands which you shall perform.
तिमीहरूले गर्नुपर्ने सबै कुरा मैले त्यस बेला नै तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेको थिएँ ।
19 And we departed from Choreb, and went through all that great wilderness and terrible, which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite, as the Lord our God charged us, and we came as far as Cades Barne.
हामी होरेबबाट यात्रा गरी परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरले हामीलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएअनुसार तिमीहरूले देखेका विशाल र डरलाग्दो उजाड-स्थानबाट भएर एमोरीहरूको पहाडी देशतर्फ जाने बाटो लाग्यौँ अनि हामी कादेश-बर्ने आइपुग्यौँ ।
20 And I said to you, You have come as far as the mountain of the Amorite, which the Lord our God gives to you:
मैले तिमीहरूलाई भनेँ, 'तिमीहरू एमोरीहरूको पहाडी देशमा आइपुगेका छौ जुन देश परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरले हामीलाई दिँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।
21 behold, the Lord your God has delivered to us the land before you: go up and inherit it as the Lord God of your fathers said to you; fear not, neither be afraid.
हेर, परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले यो देश तिमीहरूका सामु राखिदिनुभएको छ । तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएअनुसार माथि उक्लेर यसको अधिकार गर । नडराओ, न त निरुत्साहित होओ ।'
22 And you all came to me, and said, Let us send men before us, and let them go up to the land for us; and let them bring back to us a report of the way by which we shall go up, and of the cities into which we shall enter.
तिमीहरू हरेक मकहाँ आएर भन्यौ, 'हामीभन्दा अगिअगि मानिसहरू पठाऔँ ताकि तिनीहरूले हाम्रो निम्ति त्यस देशको भेद लिई हामीले त्यस देशलाई कसरी आक्रमण गर्नुपर्छ र हामी कुन-कुन सहरमा आइपुग्नुपर्ने हो भन्ने बारेमा तिनीहरूले बताऊन् ।'
23 And the saying pleased me: and I took of you twelve men, one man of a tribe.
त्यो सल्लाहले मलाई ज्यादै खुसी पार्यो । मैले तिमीहरूमध्ये हरेक कुलबाट एक-एक गरी बाह्र जना मानिस छानेँ ।
24 And they turned and went up to the mountain, and they came as far as the valley of the cluster, and surveyed it.
तिनीहरू पहाडी देशमा गए । तिनीहरू एश्कोलको बेँसीमा पुगी यसको जासुसी गरे ।
25 And they took in their hands of the fruit of the land, and brought it to you, and said, The land is good which the Lord our God gives us.
तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्ना हातमा त्यस देशका केही उत्पादनहरू हामीकहाँ ल्याए । तिनीहरूले हामीकहाँ यस्तो समाचार पनि ल्याए, 'परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरले हामीलाई दिन लाग्नुभएको यो देश असल छ ।'
26 Yet you would not go up, but rebelled against the words of the Lord our God.
तर तिमीहरूले आक्रमण गर्न इन्कार गरी परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको आज्ञाको विरुद्धमा गयौ ।
27 And you murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, he has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us.
तिमीहरूका पालहरूमा गनगन गर्दै तिमीहरूले भन्यौ, “परमप्रभुले हामीलाई घृणा गर्नुभएको छ । त्यसैले, एमोरीहरूको हातमा सुम्पी हामीलाई नष्ट गर्न उहाँले हामीलाई मिश्र देशबाट बाहिर ल्याउनुभएको छ ।
28 Whither do we go up? and your brethren drew away your heart, saying, [It is a] great nation and populous, and mightier than we; and [there are] cities great and walled up to heaven: moreover we saw there the sons of the giants.
अब हामी कहाँ जाने? हाम्रा दाजुभाइहरूले यसो भनी हामीलाई निराश बनाएका छन्, 'ती मानिसहरू हामीभन्दा ठुला र अग्ला छन् । तिनीहरूका सहरहरू विशाल छन् र आकाशसम्मै पर्खाल लगाइएका छन् । त्यस बाहेक, त्यहाँ हामीले अनाकीहरूका सन्तानहरूलाई पनि देखेका छौँ' ।”
29 And I said to you, Fear not, neither be you afraid of them;
तब मैले तिमीहरूलाई भनेँ, 'भयभीत नहोओ, न त तिनीहरूदेखि डराओ ।
30 the Lord your God who goes before your face, he shall fight against them together with you effectually, according to all that he wrought for you in the land of Egypt;
तिमीहरूका अगिअगि जानुहुने तिमीहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर नै तिमीहरूका पक्षमा लड्नुहुने छ जस्तो तिमीहरूकै आँखाका सामुन्ने मिश्रमा तिमीहरूका निम्ति उहाँले गर्नुभएको थियो ।
31 and in this wilderness which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite; how the Lord your God will bear you as a nursling, as if any man should nurse his child, through all the way which you have gone until you came to this place.
तिमीहरू यस ठाउँमा नआइपुगुञ्जेलसम्म बुबाले आफ्नो छोरोलाई बोकेजस्तै उजाड-स्थानसाथै हरेक ठाउँमा परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई बोक्नुभएको तिमीहरूले देखेकै छौ ।'
32 And in this matter you believed not the Lord our God,
यस वचनका बाबजुत पनि तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरमा विश्वास गरेनौ
33 who goes before you in the way to choose you a place, guiding you in fire by night, showing you the way by which you go, and a cloud by day.
जो रातमा आगो र दिनमा बादल बनेर तिमीहरूलाई छाउनी बनाउने ठाउँ पत्ता लगाउन तिमीहरूका अगिअगि जानुभयो ।
34 And the Lord heard the voice of your words, and being greatly provoked he sware, saying,
परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूको आवाज सुन्नुभयो र उहाँ रिसाउनुभयो । उहाँले शपथ खाएर भन्नुभयो,
35 Not one of these men shall see this good land, which I sware to their fathers,
'निश्चय नै यो दुष्ट पुस्ताको एउटै मान्छेले पनि मैले तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूलाई दिन्छु भनेको असल देश देख्ने छैन ।
36 except Chaleb the son of Jephonne, he shall see it; and to him I will give the land on which he went up, and to his sons, because he attended to the things of the Lord.
तर यपुन्नेका छोरा कालेबले यो देश देख्नेछ । त्यसले पूर्ण रूपमा परमप्रभुलाई पछ्याएकोले म त्यसलाई र त्यसका सन्तानहरूलाई त्यसले पाइला टेकेको यो देश दिने छु ।'
37 And the Lord was angry with me for your sake, saying, Neither shall you by any means enter therein.
तिमीहरूका कारणले परमप्रभु मसित पनि रिसाउनुभयो, 'तँ पनि त्यहाँ जाने छैनस् ।
38 Joshua the son of Naue, who stands by you, he shall enter in there; do you strengthen him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
मेरो सामु खडा हुने नूनका छोरा यहोशू त्यहाँ जाने छ । त्यसलाई उत्साह दे किनकि त्यसले यस देशको कब्जा गर्न इस्राएललाई अगुवाइ गर्नेछ ।
39 And every young child who this day knows not good or evil, —they shall enter therein, and to them I will give it, and they shall inherit it.
यस बाहेक, तेरा स-साना बालबालिकाहरू जसको विषयमा तैँले तिनीहरू सिकार हुने छन् भनी बताएको थिइस्, जससित आज असल र खराबको ज्ञान छैन, तिनीहरू नै त्यहाँ जाने छन् । तिनीहरूलाई म यो देश दिने छु र तिनीहरूले यसको अधिकार गर्ने छन् ।
40 And you turned and marched into the wilderness, in the way by the Red Sea.
तर तिमीहरू भने फर्केर उजाड-स्थानको बाटो हुँदै नर्कटहरूको समुद्रको दिशातर्फ जाओ ।'
41 And you answered and said, We have sinned before the Lord our God; we will go up and fight according to all that the Lord our God has commanded us: and having taken every one his weapons of war, and being gathered together, you went up to the mountain.
तब तिमीहरूले मलाई जवाफ दियौ, 'हामीले परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका छौँ । हामी माथि उक्लेर लडाइँ गर्ने छौँ, र परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरले हामीलाई गर्नू भनी आज्ञा दिनुभएका सबै कुरा हामी गर्नेछौँ । तिमीहरूका बिचमा भएका हरेक पुरुषले आ-आफ्नो हतियार उठाएर त्यस पहाडी देशलाई आक्रमण गर्न तयार भयौ ।
42 And the Lord said to me, Tell them, You shall not go up, neither shall you fight, for I am not with you; thus shall you not be destroyed before your enemies.
परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, 'तिनीहरूलाई भन्, “आक्रमण नगर्; लडाइँ नगर् किनकि म तिमीहरूसँग हुने छैनँ, र तिमीहरू आफ्ना शत्रुहरूद्वारा पराजित हुने छौ ।'
43 And I spoke to you, and you did not listen to me; and you transgressed the commandment of the Lord; and you forced your way and went up into the mountain.
मैले तिमीहरूलाई यसरी नै भनेँ, तर तिमीहरूले मेरो कुरा सुनेनौ । तिमीहरू परमप्रभुको आज्ञाको विरुद्धमा गयौ । तिमीहरू हठी भयौ र त्यस पहाडी देशलाई आक्रमण गर्न गयौ ।
44 And the Amorite who lived in that mountain came out to meet you, and pursued you as bees do, and wounded you from Seir to Herma.
तर त्यस पहाडी देशमा बस्ने एमोरीहरू तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा आएर तिमीहरूलाई मौरीलाई झैँ लखेटे अनि सेइरदेखि होर्मासम्मै तिमीहरूलाई प्रहार गरे ।
45 And you sat down and wept before the Lord our God, and the Lord listened not to your voice, neither did he take heed to you.
तिमीहरू फर्केर पमरप्रभुको सामु रोयौ । तर पमरप्रभुले तिमीहरूको रुवाइ सुन्नुभएन, न त उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई ध्यानै दिनुभयो ।
46 And you lived in Cades many days, as many days as you lived [there].
त्यसैले तिमीहरू कादेशमा धेरै दिनसम्म बस्यौ । तिमीहरूले त्यहाँ पुरै दिनहरू बितायौ ।
