< Deuteronomy 7 >
1 The Lord your God is going to lead you into the land that you are taking over in order to own it, and will drive out ahead of you many other nations: the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, seven nations that are larger and stronger than you.
परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई तिमीहरूले अधिकार गर्ने देशमा ल्याउनुहुँदा उहाँले तिमीहरूकै सामु तिमीहरूभन्दा महान् र शक्तिशाली सात जाति हित्ती, गिर्गाशी, एमोरी, कनानी, परिज्जी, हिव्वी र यबूसीहरूलाई धपाउनुहुने छ ।
2 When the Lord your God has handed them over to you to defeat them, then you must set them apart for destruction. Don't make any peace treaty with them and don't show them any mercy.
तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई पराजित गर्दा परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले नै तिनीहरूलाई तिमीहरूकहाँ सुम्पिदिनुहुने छ र तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट गर्नू । तिनीहरूसित कुनै करार नबाँध्नू, र तिनीहरूलाई कृपा नदेखाउनू ।
3 Don't intermarry with them. Don't let your daughters marry their sons or have their daughters marry your sons,
तिनीहरूसित विवाहको कुनै बन्दोवस्त नमिलाउनू । तिमीहरूले आफ्ना छोरीहरू तिनीहरूका छोराहरूलाई नदिनू, र आफ्ना छोराहरूका निम्ति तिनीहरूका छोरीहरू नलिनू ।
4 because they will lead your children away from following me to worship other gods. Then the Lord will be angry with you, and he will quickly come and kill you.
किनकि तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूका छोराहरूले अरू देवी-देवताहरूलाई पुजून् भनेर मलाई पछ्याउनबाट तिनीहरूलाई तर्काउने छन् । त्यसैले परमप्रभुको क्रोध तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा दन्कने छ, र उहाँले तत्काल तिमीहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नुहुने छ ।
5 On the contrary, this is what you are to do to them: tear down their altars, knock down their idolatrous pillars, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn down their idols.
तिनीहरूसित यसरी व्यवहार गर्नूः तिनीहरूका वेदीहरू भत्काइदिनू; तिनीहरूका ढुङ्गाका खम्बाहरू टुक्राटुक्रा पारिदिनू; तिनीहरूका अशेरा देवीका खम्बाहरू काटेर ढालिदिनू र तिनीहरूका मूर्तिहरू आगोमा जलाइदिनू ।
6 For you are the Lord your God's holy people. The Lord your God has chosen you to be his own special people, valued above all other peoples on the earth.
किनकि तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरका निम्ति अलग गरिएका जाति हौ । उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई पृथ्वीको धरातलमा भएका अन्य कुनै पनि जातिहरूभन्दा उहाँको जातिको रूपमा अधिकार हुन चुन्नुभएको छ ।
7 It wasn't because there were so many of you that the Lord loved you more than any other nation, in fact he chose you though there were so few of you.
अरू जातिहरूभन्दा तिमीहरू सङ्ख्यामा धेरै भएकाले परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई प्रेम देखाउनुभएको होइन वा चुन्नुभएको होइन किनकि तिमीहरू सबै जातिभन्दा सङ्ख्यामा थोरै छौ ।
8 However, because the Lord loved you and kept the promise he gave to your forefathers, He led you out by his power and rescued you from the prison-house of slavery, from the rule of Pharaoh, king of Egypt.
तर उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई प्रेम गर्नुहुने भएकोले र उहाँले तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूसित खानुभएको शपथ पुरा गर्ने इच्छा गर्नुभएकोले तिमीहरूलाई चुन्नुभएको हो ।
9 That's why you can be sure that the Lord your God is the true God, the faithful God who keeps his agreement based on trustworthy love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.
त्यसकारण, परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई शक्तिशाली हातले बाहिर ल्याउनुभएको छ, र दासत्वको घर अर्थात् मिश्रका राजा फारोको हातबाट छुटकारा दिलाउनुभएको छ । तसर्थ, परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर नै विश्वासयोग्य परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ जसले उहाँलाई प्रेम गर्ने र उहाँका आज्ञाहरू मान्ने हजारौँ पुस्तासम्म आफ्ना करार पुरा गर्नुहुन्छ र विश्वासयोग्य हुनुहुन्छ भनी जान ।
10 But he doesn't hesitate to pay back those who hate him by destroying them.
तर उहाँको अवहेलना गर्नेहरूलाई उहाँले बदला लिनुहुने छ वा तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नुहुने छ । उहाँको अवहेलना गर्नेहरू जोकसैप्रति पनि उहाँ सहनशील हुनुहुन्न । उहाँले त्यसको बदला लिनुहुने छ ।
11 So keep the commandments and rules and regulations that I'm giving you to follow today.
त्यसकारण मैले तिमीहरूलाई दिएका आज्ञा र विधिविधानहरू पालन गर र मान ।
12 If you listen to these regulations and are careful to observe them, then the Lord your God will keep his agreement and the trustworthy love that he promised to your forefathers.
तिमीहरूले यी विधिविधानहरू सुनेर पालन गर्यौ भने परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूसित बाँध्नुभएको करार र विश्वसनियता उहाँले पुरा गर्नुहुने छ ।
13 He will love you and bless you and give you many descendants. He will bless your children and the crops your land produces—your grain, new wine, and olive oil, the calves of your cattle herds and the lambs of your flocks—in the land that he promised your forefathers to give you.
उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई प्रेम गर्नुहुने छ; आशिष् दिनुहुने छ र गुणात्मक रूपमा वृद्धि गराउनुहुने छ । तिमीहरूलाई दिन्छु भनी तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूसित प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको देशमा उहाँले तिमीहरूको शरीरको फल, भूमिको फल, तिमीहरूको अन्न, तिमीहरूको नयाँ दाखमद्य, तिमीहरूको तेल, तिमीहरूको गाईवस्तु र तिमीहरूको बगाललाई वृद्धि गरी आशिष् दिनुहुने छ ।
14 You will be blessed more than any other nation; none of you will be childless, and none of your livestock will fail to have young.
अरू सबै जातिभन्दा तिमीहरू सुखि हुने छौ । तिमीहरूका बिचमा कोही पनि निसन्तान हुने छैन, र तिमीहरूका गाईवस्तुमध्ये एउटै पनि बैला हुने छैन ।
15 The Lord will keep you from having any kind of sickness. He will not let you have any of the terrible diseases you saw in Egypt, but he will let all who hate you suffer from them.
परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूबाट सबै रोग लैजानुहुने छ । तिमीहरूले जानेका मिश्रका कुनै पनि खराब रोगहरू तिमीहरूमाथि आउने छैनन्, तर तिमीहरूलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूमाथि उहाँले ती ल्याउनुहुने छ ।
16 You are to destroy all the nations the Lord your God hands over to you. Don't look on them with sympathy. Don't worship their gods, for that will end up being a trap to you.
परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुहुने सबै जातिलाई नष्ट गर्नू, र तिनीहरूलाई दया नदेखाउनू । तिनीहरूका देवी-देवताको पुजा नगर्नू किनकि त्यो तिमीहरूका निम्ति पासो हुने छ ।
17 You may say to yourselves, “These nations are stronger than us. How on earth can we drive them out?”
'यी जातिहरू सङ्ख्यामा हामीभन्दा धेरै भएकाले हामीले कसरी धपाउन सकौँला' भनी तिमीहरूले आफ्ना ह्रदयमा सोच्यौ भने पनि
18 But don't be afraid of them. Make sure you remember what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and the whole of Egypt:
तिनीहरूदेखि नडराओ । परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले फारो र सबै मिश्रीलाई के गर्नुभयो भनी तिमीहरूले याद राख्नू ।
19 the amazing tests you witnessed, the signs and miracles, the great power and incredible strength the Lord your God used to lead you out. The Lord your God is going to deal with all the nations you're currently afraid of in the same way.
भयानक दुःखकष्ट, चिन्ह, आश्चर्य, शक्तिशाली हात र फैलिएको पाखुरा जसद्वारा परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई ल्याउनुभयो, सो तिमीहरूका आँखाले देख्यौ । तिमीहरू डराएका ती सबै जातिलाई पनि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले त्यसै गर्नुहुने छ ।
20 On top of this, the Lord your God will send the hornet against them until anyone who has survived and anyone hiding from you have been killed.
यसबाहेक, परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिनीहरू बाँकी रहुञ्जेलसम्म र तिमीहरूको उपस्थितिबाट नष्ट नहोस् भनी तिनीहरू लुकेसम्म तिनीहरूका बिचमा अरिङ्गाल पठाउनुहुने छ ।
21 Don't be frightened of these nations, for the Lord your God, who is with you, is a powerful and awesome God.
तिनीहरूदेखि नडराओ किनकि परमप्रभु परमेश्वर तिमीहरूका बिचमा हुनुहुन्छ जो महान् र भययोग्य हुनुहुन्छ ।
22 The Lord your God will drive out these nations ahead of you in stages. You won't be able to get rid of them all at the same time, or you'd be overwhelmed by wild animals.
परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूकै सामुन्ने तिनीहरूलाई अलिअलि गरेर धपाउनुहुने छ । तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई एकै चोटि पराजित गर्ने छैनौ नत्रता जङ्गली जनावरहरू तिमीहरूका बिचमा धेरै हुने छन् ।
23 But the Lord your God will hand them over to you and throw them into a terrible panic, until they are wiped out.
तर तिमीहरू तिनीहरूसित युद्ध गर्न जाँदा परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूमाथि तिमीहरूलाई विजयी तुल्याउनुहुने छ ।
24 He will give their defeated kings to you to be killed, and even their names will be forgotten. No one will be able to withstand you; you will completely destroy them.
उहाँले तिनीहरूका राजाहरूलाई तिमीहरूको शक्तिमुनि ल्याउनुहुने छ र तिमीहरूले आकाशमुनि तिनीहरूका नाउँ मेटिदिने छौ । तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट नगरुञ्जेलसम्म कोही पनि तिमीहरूका सामु खडा हुन सक्दैन ।
25 You must burn the idols of their god. Don't desire the silver and gold that covers them. Don't take it or otherwise it will be a trap for you because the Lord your God detests anything to do with idols.
खोपेर बनाइएका तिनीहरूका देवी-देवताहरूका प्रतिमूर्तिहरू जलाइदिनू । तिनलाई ढाक्ने सुनचाँदीको लोभ गरेर ती आफ्नो निम्ति नराख्नू । तिमीहरूले त्यसो गर्यौ भने तिमीहरू त्यसद्वारा पासोमा पर्ने छौ किनकि यो परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको निम्ति घृणित कुरो हो ।
26 Don't bring any detestable idol into your house, otherwise you will treated just like it—by being set apart for destruction. You are to treat idols as totally despicable, and stay far away from them, because they are set apart for destruction.
तिमीहरूका घरमा कुनै पनि घृणित वस्तु ल्याएर त्यसको पुजा गर्न नथाल्नू । त्यसलाई पूर्ण रूपमा घृणा गर्नू र तिरस्कार गर्नू किनकि यो विनाशको निम्ति अलग गरिएको हो ।
