< Deuteronomy 24 >
1 “If a man takes a wife, and he has her, and she does not find favor before his eyes because of some vileness, then he shall write a bill of divorce, and he shall give it to her hand, and he shall dismiss her from his house.
आफूले बिहे गरेर ल्याएकी पत्नीमा कुनै खोट पाएकोले पुरुषले त्यसलाई त्याग्न चाह्यो भने त्यसले त्यागपत्र लेखेर उसको हातमा थमाइदिएर उसलाई आफ्नो घरबाट पठाओस् ।
2 And when, having departed, she has married another,
त्यो आफ्नो घरबाट गइसकेपछि त्यो कसैकी पत्नी हुन सक्छे ।
3 and if he likewise hates her, and has given her a bill of divorce, and has dismissed her from his house, or if indeed he has died,
दोस्रो पतिले पनि त्यसलाई घृणा गरी त्यागपत्र लेखी त्यसको हातमा थमाइदिएर उसलाई घरबाट पठाइदियो वा दोस्रो पतिको पनि मृत्यु भयो भने
4 then the former husband cannot take her back as a wife. For she has been polluted and has become abominable in the sight of the Lord. Otherwise, you may cause your land, which the Lord your God will deliver to you as a possession, to sin.
त्यसको पहिलेको पति अर्थात् उसलाई घरबाट पठाउने पतिले त्यस स्त्री अशुद्ध भएपछि त्यसलाई आफ्नी पत्नी हुनलाई नलिन पनि सक्छ । किनकि त्यसो गर्नु परमप्रभुको लागि घृणित कुरो हो । तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई सम्पत्तिको रूपमा दिन लाग्नुभएको देशलाई दोषी नबनाओ ।
5 When a man has recently taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, nor shall any public office be enjoined upon him. Instead, he shall be free at home without guilt, so that for one year he may rejoice with his wife.
भर्खरै बिहे गरेको पुरुष सेनासँगै युद्धमा नजाओस् न त जबरजस्ती उसलाई कुनै जिम्मेवारी दिइयोस् । त्यो एक वर्षसम्म घरमा रही त्यसले भर्खरै ल्याएकी पत्नीसित रमाओस् ।
6 You shall not accept an upper or lower millstone as collateral. For then he will have placed his life with you.
कसैले धितोको रूपमा जाँतो वा जाँतोको माथिल्लो ढुङ्गा नलिओस् किनकि त्यसो गर्नु भनेको त्यस व्यक्तिको जीवन लिनु बराबर हो ।
7 If a man has been caught soliciting his brother among the sons of Israel, and selling him in order to receive a price, then he shall be put to death. And so shall you take away the evil from your midst.
इस्राएलीहरूका बिचबाट कसैले आफ्ना दाजुभाइमध्ये एउटालाई अपहरण गरी त्यसलाई नोकरसरह व्यवहार गरी बेचिदिएको छ भने त्यो अपहरणकारी मारिनैपर्छ । यसरी तिमीहरूले तिमीहरूका बिचबाट दुष्टतालाई हटाउने छौ ।
8 Observe diligently, lest you incur the wound of leprosy. But you shall do whatever the priests of the Levitical stock shall teach you to do, according to what I have instructed them. And you shall fulfill it carefully.
कुष्ठरोगको विपत्तिको बारेमा तिमीहरूले ध्यान देओ ताकि पुजारीहरू अर्थात् लेवीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई सिकाएका हरेक निर्देशनलाई तिमीहरूले होसियारीसाथ पछ्याई पालन गर्न सक । मैले तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेमुताबिक तिमीहरूले गर्नू ।
9 Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam, along the way, as you were departing from Egypt.
तिमीहरू मिश्रबाट आइरहँदा परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले मिरियमलाई के गर्नुभयो, सो सम्झ ।
10 When you require from your neighbor anything that he owes to you, you shall not enter into his house in order to take away the collateral.
तिमीले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई कुनै किसिमको ऋण दिँदा धरौटी लिन उसको घरभित्र प्रवेश नगर ।
11 Instead, you shall stand outside, and he will carry out to you what he has.
तिमी बाहिरै पर्ख, र तिमीले ऋण दिएको व्यक्ति धरौटी लिएर बाहिरै आओस् ।
12 But if he is poor, then the collateral shall not remain with you through the night.
त्यो गरिब रहेछ भने त्यसको आफ्नो सम्पत्ति ठानी धरौटीसितै नसुत्नू ।
13 Instead, you shall return it to him promptly, before the setting of the sun, so that, sleeping in his own garment, he may bless you, and you may have justice in the presence of the Lord your God.
सूर्य अस्ताउनुअगि तिमीले त्यसको धरौटी फिर्ता गरिदिनू ताकि त्यो आफ्नो ओढ्नेमा सुत्न सकोस् र तिमीलाई आशिष् दिन सकोस् । परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको सामु यो तिम्रो निम्ति धार्मिकता हुने छ ।
14 You shall not refuse the pay of the indigent and the poor, whether he is your brother, or he is a new arrival who dwells with you in the land and is within your gates.
तिमीहरूले गरिब र दरिद्र ज्यालादारी नोकरलाई थिचोमिचो नगर, चाहे त्यो तिमीहरूकै सहरभित्र तिमीहरूको देशमा भएको इस्राएली भाइ होस् वा परदेशी होस् ।
15 Instead, you shall pay him the price of his labor on the same day, before the setting of the sun. For he is poor, and with it he sustains his life. Otherwise, he may cry out against you to the Lord, and it would be charged to you as a sin.
तिमीहरूले हरेक दिन त्यसलाई त्यसको ज्याला दिनू । सूर्य अस्ताउनुअगि यो विषय सुल्झोस् किनकि त्यो गरिब हो र यसमा नै भर पर्छ । यसो गर्नू ताकि त्यसले परमप्रभुको सामु पुकार नगरोस्, र यो तिमीहरूले गरेका पाप नबनोस् ।
16 The fathers shall not be put to death on behalf of the sons, nor the sons on behalf of the fathers, but each one shall die for his own sin.
छोराछोरीका कारणले बुबाआमालाई नमार्नू, न त बुबाआमाको कारणले छोराछोरीलाई मार्नू । बरु, हरेक मानिस आफ्नै पापको निम्तो मरोस् ।
17 You shall not pervert the judgment of the new arrival or the orphan, nor shall you take away the widow’s garment as collateral.
परदेशी वा अनाथले पाउने न्याय हरण गर्न दमन नगर । विधवाको ओढ्ने धरौटीको रूपमा नराख ।
18 Remember that you served in Egypt, and that the Lord your God rescued you from there. Therefore, I am instructing you to act in this way.
बरु, तिमीहरू मिश्रमा कमारा थियौ र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई त्यहाँबाट छुटकारा दिनुभयो भनी याद गर्नू । त्यसकारण, यो आज्ञा पालन गर्न मैले तिमीहरूलाई निर्देशन दिएको छु ।
19 When you have reaped the grain in your field, and, having forgotten, you leave behind a sheaf, you shall not return to take it away. Instead, you shall permit the new arrival, and the orphan, and the widow to take it away, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works of your hands.
तिमीहरूले आफ्नो खेतमा फसलको कटनी गर्दा अन्नको एक बिटा बिर्सेका छौ भने त्यसलाई लिन फर्केर नजाओ । यो परदेशी, अनाथ वा विधवाको लागि होस् ताकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूका सबै काममा आशिष् दिनुभएको होस् ।
20 If you have gathered the fruit of your olive trees, you shall not return in order to gather whatever may remain on the trees. Instead, you shall leave it behind for the new arrival, the orphan, and the widow.
तिमीहरूले भद्राक्षको रुखलाई हल्लाउँदा तिमीहरू फेरि हाँगाहरूमा नजाओ । यो परदेशी, अनाथ वा विधवाको लागि होस् ।
21 If you harvest the vintage of your vineyard, you shall not gather the remaining clusters. Instead, they shall fall to the use of the stranger, the orphan, and the widow.
तिमीहरूले आफ्नो दाखबारीबाट दाख बटुल्दा तिमीहरूले फेरि सोहोरसाहर नगर्नू । छाडिएको चाहिँ परदेशी, अनाथ र विधावाको लागि हुने छ ।
22 Remember that you also served in Egypt, and so, for this reason, I am instructing you to act in this way.”
तिमीहरू मिश्रमा कमारा थियौ भनी याद राख्नू । त्यसकारण, मैले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेको यो निर्देशन मान्नू ।
