< Deuteronomy 8 >

1 “All the commandments which I am entrusting to you this day, take care to observe them diligently, so that you may live and be multiplied, and so that, upon entering, you may possess the land, about which the Lord swore 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 the entire journey along which the Lord your God led you, for forty years through the desert, to afflict you, and to test you, and to make known the things that were turning in your soul, whether or not you would keep his commandments.
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 He afflicted you with need, and he gave you Manna as your food, which neither you nor your fathers knew, so as to reveal to you that it is not by bread alone that man lives, but by every word that goes forth from the mouth of God.
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 garment, with which you were covered, has by no means decayed due to age, and your foot has not been worn down, even to this fortieth year,
ती चालिस वर्षसम्म तिमीहरूका लुगा च्यातिएर झरेन न त तिमीहरूको गोडा सुन्‍नियो ।
5 so that you would recognize in your heart that, just as a man educates his son, so has the Lord your God educated you.
बुबाले आफ्नो छोरोलाई अनुशासनमा राखेझैँ परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई अनुशासनमा राख्‍नुहुन्छ भनी तिमीहरूले आफ्नो ह्रदयमा ख्याल राख्‍नू ।
6 So may you keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and fear him.
उहाँका मार्गहरूमा हिँडी उहाँलाई आदर गर्न सकून् भनेर तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको आज्ञा मान्‍नू ।
7 For the Lord your God will lead you into a good land: a land of brooks and waters and fountains, in which deep rivers burst forth from its plains and mountains,
किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई बेसीँ र पर्वतहरू हुँदै खोलानाला र मुल भएको असल देशमा ल्याउँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।
8 a land of crops, barley, and vineyards, in which fig and pomegranate and olive trees spring up, a land of oil and honey.
यो गहुँ र जौ अनि दाख र जैतून अनि अनार र जैतून रुखहरूसाथै मह पाउने देश हो ।
9 In that place, without any need, you shall eat your bread and enjoy an abundance of all things: where the stones are like iron, and where ore for brass is dug out of its mountains.
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 So then, when you have eaten and been satisfied, you should bless the Lord your God for the excellent land which he has given to you.
तिमीहरू खाएर अघाउने छौ, अनि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएको असल देशको लागि तिमीहरूले उहाँलाई धन्यको भन्‍ने छौ ।
11 Be observant and cautious, lest at some time you may forget the Lord your God, and neglect his commandments, as well as the judgments and ceremonies, which I instruct to you this day.
आज मैले तिमीहरूलाई दिएका उहाँका आज्ञाहरू, उहाँका विधिविधानहरूलाई बेवास्ता नगर्न र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरलाई नभुल्न होसियार होओ ।
12 Otherwise, after you have eaten and been satisfied, and have built beautiful houses and have lived in them,
नत्रता तिमीहरूले अघाउञ्‍जेल खाँदा र तिमीहरूले घरहरू बनाई तिनमा बस्दा तिमीहरूको हृदय घमण्डले फुल्ने छ ।
13 and have obtained herds of oxen, and flocks of sheep, and a plentitude of gold and silver and all things,
तिमीहरूका गाईवस्तु र भेडा-बाख्राहरू गुणात्मक रूपमा वृद्धि हुँदा र तिमीहरूका सुन र चाँदीको वृद्धि हुँदा र तिमीहरूसित भएका सबै थोकको वृद्धि हुँदा
14 your heart might be lifted up, and you might not remember the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude,
तिमीहरूको ह्रदय घमण्डले फुली मिश्र देश अर्थात् दासत्वको देशबाट तिमीहरूलाई ल्याउनुहुने परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरलाई तिमीहरूले नभुल्नलाई होसियार बस ।
15 and who was your leader in the great and terrible wilderness, in which there was the serpent with a burning breath, and the scorpion, and the snake of thirst, and no waters at all. He led streams out of the hardest 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 and he nourished you in the wilderness with Manna, which your fathers had not known. And after he had afflicted and tested you, in the very end, he took pity on you.
तिमीहरूलाई नम्र बनाउन र तिमीहरूको जाँच गरी अन्त्यमा तिमीहरूको भलाइ गर्न उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई उजाड-स्थानमा तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूले कहिल्यै नजानेका मन्‍न खुवाउनुभयो ।
17 Otherwise, you might say in your heart: ‘My own strength, and the power of my own hand, have brought forth all these things for me.’
तर तिमीले ह्रदयमा सोचौला, 'मेरो शक्ति र मेरो शक्तिशाली हातले मैले यी सबै सम्पत्ति थुपारेको हुँ ।'
18 But remember the Lord your God, that he himself has provided you with strength, so that he may fulfill his covenant, about which he swore to your fathers, just as the present day reveals.
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 But if you forget the Lord your God, so that you follow foreign gods, and serve and adore them: behold, I now foretell to you that you shall utterly 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 Just like the nations, which the Lord destroyed upon your arrival, so shall you also perish, if you have been disobedient 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 ।
