Exodus 23
1 “You must not spread stories that are lies. You must not help bad people by giving evidence that's malicious.
कसैको बारेमा झुटा गवाही नदेओ । बेइमानी गवाही दिने दुष्ट मानिससित नमिल ।
2 Don't follow the crowd in doing wrong. When you give evidence in a lawsuit, don't corrupt justice by siding with the majority.
खराबी गर्न भिडको पछि नलाग, न त न्यायलाई बङ्ग्याउन भिडको पक्ष लेओ ।
3 Don't show favoritism to poor people in their legal cases either.
गरिब मानिसको मुद्दामा उसको पक्षपात नगर ।
4 If you come across your enemy's ox or donkey that has wandered off, take it back it to him.
आफ्नो शत्रुको गोरु वा गधा बिच्केर जाँदै गरेको देख्यौ भने त्यसलाई फर्काएर त्यसकहाँ ल्याइदेओ ।
5 If you see the donkey of someone who hates you that has fallen under its load, don't just leave it there. You must stop and help.
तिमीहरूलाई घृणा गर्ने कुनै व्यक्तिको गधा भारीले थिचिएर भुइँमा लडेको देख्यौ भने त्यसलाई त्यत्तिकै नछोड । गधासँगै मदत गर ।
6 You must not prevent the poor from getting justice in their lawsuits.
मुद्दा मामिलामा गरिबहरूको न्याय हरण नगर ।
7 Don't have anything to do with making false accusations. Don't kill the innocent or those who do right, for I won't let the guilty go unpunished.
झुटा गवाही दिन अरूहरूसित नमिल, र निर्दोष वा धर्मीहरूलाई नमार किनकि म दुष्टहरूलाई कहिल्यै निर्दोष ठहराउनेछैनँ ।
8 Don't accept bribes, for a bribe blinds those who can see, and undermines the evidence of the honest.
कहिल्यै घुस नलेओ किनकि घुसले देख्नेहरूलाई अन्धो तुल्याइदिन्छ र इमानदार मानिसहरूका वचनलाई बङ्ग्याइदिन्छ ।
9 Don't abuse foreigners living among you, since you know very well what it's like to be foreigners, for you were once foreigners in Egypt.
परदेशीलाई थिचोमिचो नगर किनकि तिमीहरू मिश्र देशमा परदेशी भएर बाँचेकाले परदेशीको जीवन कस्तो हुन्छ भनी तिमीहरू जान्दछौ ।
10 Six years you are to sow your land and harvest crops,
छ वर्षसम्म तिमीहरूले आ-आफ्ना जमिनमा बिउ रोपी फसल जम्मा गर ।
11 but in the seventh year you are to let it rest and leave it uncultivated, so that poor people may eat what grows naturally from the field and the wild animals can finish what's left. Follow the same procedure for your vineyards and olive groves.
तर सातौँ वर्षमा चाहिँ हलो नजोती त्यसलाई बाँझै छाडिदेओ ताकि तिमीहरूका बिचमा भएका गरिब मानिसहरूले खान सकून् । तिनीहरूले छाडेका जङ्गली जनावरहरूले खानेछन् । तिमीहरूका दाखबारी र भद्राक्षबारीलाई पनि त्यसै गर ।
12 You have six days to do your work, but on the seventh day you must stop working, so that your ox and your donkey can rest, and your slaves' families can catch their breath, as well as the foreigners living among you.
छ दिनसम्म आफ्नो काम गर, तर सातौँ दिनमा चाहिँ विश्राम गर । तिमीहरूका गोरु र गधाले पनि विश्राम पाउन सकून् भनेर यसो गर अनि तिमीहरूका कमारीको छोरो र परदेशीले पनि ताजा महसुस गर्न सकून् भनेर यस गर ।
13 Make sure to pay attention to everything I've told you. Don't think to call on the names of other gods—you must not even mention them.
मैले तिमीहरूलाई भनेका हरेक कुरामा ध्यान देओ । अरू देवी-देवताहरूको चर्चा नगर, न त तिमीहरूका मुखबाट तिनीहरूको नाउँ नै सुनियोस् ।
14 Three times every year you are to celebrate a feast dedicated to me.
मेरो निम्ति चाड मान्न हरेक वर्ष तिन पटक यात्रा गर ।
15 You are to observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread as I instructed you. You are to eat bread without yeast for seven days at the appropriate time in the month of Abib, because that was the month you left Egypt. No one can come before me without bringing an offering.
तिमीहरूले अखमिरी रोटीको चाड मान्नू । मैले आज्ञा गरेझैँ तिमीहरूले सात दिनसम्म अखमिरी रोटी खानू । त्यस बेला तिमीहरू आबीब महिनामा मेरो सामु देखा पर्नू जुन यही उद्देश्यको लागि तयार पारिएको हो । तिमीहरू यही महिनामा मिश्रबाट बाहिर निस्केर आयौ । तर तिमीहरू खाली हात मेरो सामु देखा नपर्नू ।
16 You are also to observe the Festival of Harvest when you present the firstfruits of the produce from what you've sown in the fields. Lastly you are to observe the Festival of Gathering-In the Harvest at the end of the year, when you gather in the harvest of the rest of your crops from the field.
तिमीहरूले आफ्ना खेतहरूमा बिउ छर्दा तिमीहरूको परिश्रमको अगौटे फलको सम्झनामा कटनीको चाड मान्नू । खेतहरूबाट तिमीहरूले अन्न बटुल्दा वर्षको अन्त्यमा तिमीहरूले अन्न भित्र्याउने चाड मनाओ ।
17 Every Israelite male is to come before the Lord God at these three times every year.
तिमीहरूका सबै पुरुष हरेक वर्ष तिन पटक परमप्रभुको सामु देखा पर्नू ।
18 You must not offer the blood of my sacrifices together with anything that contains yeast, and the fat from the offerings presented at my festival must not be left until morning.
मलाई चढाउने बलिको रगत खमिर हालेको रोटीसितै नचढाओ । मेरा चाडहरूमा चढाइने बलिदानहरूको बोसो रातभरि रहेर बिहानसम्म रहनुहुँदैन ।
19 Bring the best firstfruits of your crops to the house of the Lord your God. Don't cook a young goat in its mother's milk.
तिमीहरूले मेरो घर अर्थात् परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको घरमा अगौटे फलहरूमध्ये सबैभन्दा असलचाहिँ ल्याउनू । बाख्राको पाठो त्यसको माउको दूधमा नपकाओ ।
20 Look, I'm sending an angel ahead of you to protect you on the way and to take you to the place I've prepared for you.
बाटोमा तिमीहरूको सुरक्षा दिन र मैले तिमीहरूका निम्ति तयार पारिराखेको ठाउँमा तिमीहरूलाई ल्याउन म तिमीहरूका अगिअगि एउटा दूत पठाउनेछु ।
21 Make sure you pay attention to him and do what he says. Don't oppose him, because he won't forgive rebellion, for he carries my authority.
तिनको कुरा सुनी तिनको आज्ञा पालन गर । तिनलाई नचिढ्याओ किनकि तिनले तिमीहरूका अपराधहरू क्षमा दिनेछैनन् । तिनैमा मेरो नाउँ छ ।
22 However, if you listen to him carefully, and do everything that I tell you, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and I will fight those who fight against you.
तिमीहरूले वास्तवमै तिनका आज्ञा मान्यौ र मैले भनेका हरेक कुरा गर्यौ भने म तिमीहरूका शत्रुहरूका शत्रु हुनेछु र तिमीहरूका वैरीहरूका वैरी हुनेछु ।
23 For my angel will go ahead of you and take you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites, and I will wipe them out.
मेरा दूत तिमीहरूका अगिअगि जानेछन् र तिनले तिमीहरूलाई एमोरी, हित्ती, परिज्जी, कनानी, हिव्वी र यबूसीहरूकहाँ ल्याउनेछन् । म तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नेछु ।
24 You must not bow down to their gods or worship them or follow their pagan practices. No, you must demolish their idols and smash their sacred pillars into pieces.
तिमीहरू तिनीहरूका देवी-देवताहरूको सामु ननिहरनू, तिनीहरूको पूजा नगर्नू न त तिनीहरूले गरेजस्तै गर्नू । बरु तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई बिलकुलै नाश गरिदिनू र तिनीहरूका ढुङ्गाका मूर्तिहरूलाई टुक्राटुक्रा पारिदिनू ।
25 You are to worship the Lord your God, and he will bless your food and water. I will make sure none of you fall sick.
तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको आराधना गर्नू, अनि उहाँले तिमीहरूका अन्न र पानीमा आशिष् दिनुहुनेछ । म तिमीहरूका बिचबाट रोग हटाइदिनेछु ।
26 No woman will have a miscarriage or be without children. I will make sure you live long lives.
तिमीहरूको देशमा कुनै पनि स्त्री बाँझी हुनेछैन न त कसैको गर्भ तुहिनेछ ।
27 I will send terror about me ahead of you which will throw every nation you meet into panic. I will make all your enemies turn and run away.
म तिमीहरूलाई दीर्घायु दिनेछु । तिमीहरू अगाडि बढ्ने देशमा म मेरो डर अगिअगि पठाउनेछु । म तिमीहरूले भेट्ने सबै मानिसलाई मार्नेछु । म तिमीहरूका सबै शत्रुलाई तिमीहरूको डरको कारणले भगाउनेछु ।
28 I will send hornets ahead of you to drive out before you the Hivites and Canaanites and Hittites.
म तिमीहरूका अगिअगि अरिङ्गालहरू पठाउनेछु जसले हिव्वी, कनानी र हित्तीहरूलाई तिमीहरूभन्दा अगाडि नै धपाउनेछन् ।
29 I will not drive them out in just one year, because the land would become desolate and you would have to deal with increased numbers of wild animals.
म तिनीहरूलाई एकै वर्षमा तिमीहरूको सामुन्नेबाट धपाउनेछैनँ, नत्रता देश उजाड हुनेछ र जङ्गली जनावरहरू तिमीहरूका निम्ति अत्यधिक हुनेछन् ।
30 Bit by bit I will drive them out ahead of you, until there are enough of you to take possession of the land.
बरु, तिमीहरूको वृद्धि भई तिमीहरू देशमा नभरिएसम्म म तिनीहरूलाई तिमीहरूकै सामु अलिअलि गरेर धपाउनेछु ।
31 I will fix your borders from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the Euphrates River. I will hand the inhabitants of the land over to you, and you will drive them out.
नर्कटहरूको समुद्रदेखि पलिश्तिहरूको समुद्रसम्म र उजाड-स्थानदेखि यूफ्रेटिस नदीसम्म म तिमीहरूका सिमाना तोकिदिनेछु । त्यस देशका बासिन्दाहरूमाथि म तिमीहरूलाई विजय दिनेछु । तिमीहरूले तिमीहरूकै सामु तिनीहरूलाई धपाउनेछौ ।
32 You must not make any agreement with them or with their gods.
तिनीहरूसित वा तिनीहरूका देवी-देवताहरूसित करार नबाँध्नू ।
33 They must not be allowed to stay in your land, otherwise they will lead you to sin against me. For if you worship their gods, they will definitely become a trap for you.”
तिनीहरू तिमीहरूको देशमा बस्नुहुँदैन नत्रता तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई मेरो विरुद्धमा पाप गर्न लगाउनेछन् । तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूका देवी-देवताहरूलाई पुजा गर्यौ भने निश्चय नै यो तिमीहरूका लागि पासो हुनेछ ।”
