< Deuteronomy 8 >
1 You must take care to follow every commandment I am giving you today, so that you may live and have many descendants, and go in and take over the country the Lord promised to give to your fore 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 Remember how for these forty years the Lord your God has led you all the way through the desert, humbling you and testing you in order to find out what you were really thinking, and 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 humbled you, and when you were hungry he gave you manna to eat, which nobody, including you and your forefathers, had ever had before This was in order to make it clear to you that human beings do not live by only eating bread, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.
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 During these forty years your clothing didn't wear out and your feet didn't swell up.
ती चालिस वर्षसम्म तिमीहरूका लुगा च्यातिएर झरेन न त तिमीहरूको गोडा सुन्नियो ।
5 So you should realize that just as a parent disciplines their child, so the Lord your God disciplines you.
बुबाले आफ्नो छोरोलाई अनुशासनमा राखेझैँ परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई अनुशासनमा राख्नुहुन्छ भनी तिमीहरूले आफ्नो ह्रदयमा ख्याल राख्नू ।
6 That's why you have to keep the commandments of the Lord your God, following his ways and respecting him.
उहाँका मार्गहरूमा हिँडी उहाँलाई आदर गर्न सकून् भनेर तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको आज्ञा मान्नू ।
7 For the Lord your God is taking you to a good country. It's a land of streams and pools and springs that flow through the valleys and down the hills;
किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई बेसीँ र पर्वतहरू हुँदै खोलानाला र मुल भएको असल देशमा ल्याउँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।
8 It's a land that produces wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey.
यो गहुँ र जौ अनि दाख र जैतून अनि अनार र जैतून रुखहरूसाथै मह पाउने देश हो ।
9 It's a land where you won't run out of food, where you will have everything you need; a land whose rocks contain iron ore and whose hills can be mined for copper.
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 When you eat and are full, make sure you thank the Lord your God for the good land that he's given you.
तिमीहरू खाएर अघाउने छौ, अनि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएको असल देशको लागि तिमीहरूले उहाँलाई धन्यको भन्ने छौ ।
11 Make sure you don't forget the Lord your God by disobeying his commandments and rules and regulations that I'm giving you today.
आज मैले तिमीहरूलाई दिएका उहाँका आज्ञाहरू, उहाँका विधिविधानहरूलाई बेवास्ता नगर्न र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरलाई नभुल्न होसियार होओ ।
12 For when you eat and are full, when you build beautiful houses to live in,
नत्रता तिमीहरूले अघाउञ्जेल खाँदा र तिमीहरूले घरहरू बनाई तिनमा बस्दा तिमीहरूको हृदय घमण्डले फुल्ने छ ।
13 and when your herds and flocks grow larger, and your silver and gold accumulates, and all your possessions increase,
तिमीहरूका गाईवस्तु र भेडा-बाख्राहरू गुणात्मक रूपमा वृद्धि हुँदा र तिमीहरूका सुन र चाँदीको वृद्धि हुँदा र तिमीहरूसित भएका सबै थोकको वृद्धि हुँदा
14 then you will become proud, and you will forget the Lord your God who led you out of Egypt, out of the prison-house of slavery.
तिमीहरूको ह्रदय घमण्डले फुली मिश्र देश अर्थात् दासत्वको देशबाट तिमीहरूलाई ल्याउनुहुने परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरलाई तिमीहरूले नभुल्नलाई होसियार बस ।
15 He guided you through the immense and terrifying desert with its poisonous snakes and scorpions—a dried up, waterless land. He brought water for you out of a flint 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 He fed you in the desert with manna that your forefathers had never known, humbling you and testing you, so that eventually you would do well in the future.
तिमीहरूलाई नम्र बनाउन र तिमीहरूको जाँच गरी अन्त्यमा तिमीहरूको भलाइ गर्न उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई उजाड-स्थानमा तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूले कहिल्यै नजानेका मन्न खुवाउनुभयो ।
17 You might think to yourselves, “I became rich through all my hard work.”
तर तिमीले ह्रदयमा सोचौला, 'मेरो शक्ति र मेरो शक्तिशाली हातले मैले यी सबै सम्पत्ति थुपारेको हुँ ।'
18 But remember it's the Lord your God who gives you the ability to become rich, in order to fulfill his agreement he promised to your forefathers that still exists today.
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 If you ever forget the Lord your God, and run after other gods, worshiping and bowing down to them, I assure you right now that you will definitely die!
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 In the same way the Lord destroyed the nations as you advanced, you will also die if you don't obey the Lord your God.
परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको आवाजलाई ध्यान दिएनौ भने तिमीहरूकै सामु परमप्रभुले नष्ट गर्नुभएका जातिहरूजस्तै तिमीहरू नष्ट हुने छौ ।
