< Deuteronomy 17 >
1 “You do not sacrifice to your God YHWH ox or sheep in which there is a blemish—any bad thing; for it [is] an abomination [to] your God YHWH.
तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको लागि कुनै पनि खोट लागेको वा खराब भएको बलि नचढाउनू किनकि त्यो परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको लागि घृणित कुरो हुने छ ।
2 When there is found in your midst, in one of your cities which your God YHWH is giving to you, a man or a woman who does evil in the eyes of your God YHWH by transgressing His covenant,
परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुहुने कुनै पनि सहरमा परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको दृष्टिमा तिमीहरूका बिचमा कुनै पुरुष वा स्त्रीले दुष्ट काम गर्यो भने वा उहाँको करार भङ्ग गर्यो भने वा
3 and he goes and serves other gods, and bows himself to them, and to the sun, or to the moon, or to any of the host of the heavens, which I have not commanded,
मैले आज्ञा नगरेको अन्य देवताहरूको पछि लागेर तिनीहरूको पुजा गर्यो भने वा सूर्य, चन्द्रमा वा कुनै पनि आकाशीय पिण्डलाई ढोग्यो भने,
4 and it has been declared to you, and you have heard, and have searched diligently, and behold, [if] truth, the thing is established; this abomination has been done in Israel—
र यस बारेमा तिमीहरूलाई बताइयो भने वा तिमीहरूले यस बारेमा सुन्यौ भने तिमीहरूले होसियारीसाथ अनुसन्धान गर्नू । इस्राएलमा त्यस्तो घृणित कुरो गरिएको साँचो र निश्चित ठहरियो भने तिमीहरूले गर्नुपर्ने कुरो यही हो ।
5 then you have brought out that man or that woman who has done this evil thing, to your gates—the man or the woman—and you have stoned them with stones, and they have died.
यस्तो दुष्ट काम गर्ने त्यो पुरुष वा स्त्रीलाई तिमीहरूले सहरको प्रवेशद्वारमा ल्याएर हरेक पुरुष, स्त्री र तिमीहरूले ढुङ्गाले हानेर मार्नू ।
6 By the mouth of two witnesses or three witnesses is he who is being put to death put to death; he is not put to death by the mouth of one witness;
दुई वा तिन जना साक्षीको आधारमा त्यसलाई मारिने छ । तर एक जना मात्र साक्षीको आधारमा त्यसलाई मारिनुहुँदैन । तिनीहरूलाई मार्न
7 the hand of the witnesses is on him in the first place to put him to death, and the hand of all the people last; and you have put away evil out of your midst.
ती साक्षीहरूले पहिले आ-आफ्ना हात उठाऊन् त्यसपछि अरू सबै मानिसले आ-आफ्ना हात उठाऊन् । यसरी तिमीहरूले आफ्ना बिचबाट दुष्टतालाई हटाउने छौ ।
8 When anything is too hard for you for judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke—matters of strife within your gates—then you have risen and gone up to the place on which your God YHWH fixes,
हत्या वा दुर्घटनाबाट भएको मृत्यु वा एउटा वा अर्को व्यक्तिको अधिकार वा एउटा किसिमको हानि वा अर्को किसिमको विषय वा तिमीहरूका बिचमा भएका कुनै पनि वादविवाद मिलाउन तिमीहरूलाई गार्हो भयो भने परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले आफ्नो पवित्र वासस्थानको रूपमा छान्नुहुने ठाउँमा जानू ।
9 and have come to the priests, the Levites, and to the judge who is in those days, and have inquired, and they have declared the word of judgment to you,
तिमीहरू लेवीका सन्तानहरू अर्थात् त्यस बेला न्यायको लागि सेवा गर्ने पुजारीहरूकहाँ जानू । तिनीहरूका सल्लाह लिनू र तिनीहरूले निर्णय सुनाउने छन् ।
10 and you have done according to the tenor of the word which they declare to you ([they] of that place which YHWH chooses); and you have observed to do according to all that they direct you.
परमप्रभुले आफ्नो पवित्र वासस्थानको रूपमा छान्नुहुने ठाउँमा तिमीहरूलाई दिइएको व्यवस्थालाई तिमीहरूले मान्नू ।
11 According to the tenor of the law which they direct you, and according to the judgment which they say to you, you do; you do not turn aside from the word which they declare to you [to] the right or left.
तिनीहरूले गर्न भनी तिमीहरूलाई निर्देशन दिने हरेक कुरो मान्न तिमीहरू होसियार होओ । तिनीहरूले सिकाउने नियमलाई पछ्याउनू, र तिनीहरूले दिएको निर्णयअनुसार गर्नू । तिनीहरूले बताउने कुराबाट दायाँ वा बायाँतिर नतर्कनू ।
12 And the man who acts with presumption, so as not to listen to the priest (who is standing to serve your God YHWH there), or to the judge, even that man has died, and you have put away evil from Israel,
परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको सामु सेवा गर्न खडा हुने पुजारी वा न्यायकर्ताको कुरा अहङ्कारी भएर नसुन्ने व्यक्ति मारिने छ । तिमीहरूले इस्राएलबाट दुष्टता हटाओ ।
13 and all the people hear and fear, and do not presume anymore.
सबै मानिस यो सुनेर डराउने छन् अनि अब उसो अहङ्कारी हुने छैनन् ।
14 When you come into the land which your God YHWH is giving to you, and have possessed it, and dwelt in it, and you have said, Let me set a king over me like all the nations which [are] around me—
तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुहुने देशमा आइपुगेर यसको अधिकार गरेपछि र यसमा बसोबास गर्न थालेपछि तिमीहरूले 'हाम्रा वरिपरि भएका सबै जातिले जस्तै हाम्रो शासन गर्न राजा चुन्ने छौँ' भन्यौ भने
15 you certainly set a king over you on whom YHWH fixes; you set a king over you from the midst of your brothers; you are not able to set a stranger over you, who is not your brother.
परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले चुन्नुहुने व्यक्तिलाई तिमीहरूले निश्चय नै राजाको रूपमा चुन्नू । तिमीहरूका दाजुभाइका बिचबाट नै तिमीहरूले आफ्ना लागि राजा चुन्नू । कुनै पनि परदेशीलाई आफ्नो राजा नबनाओ ।
16 Only, he does not multiply horses for himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, so as to multiply horses, seeing YHWH has said to you, You do not add to return in this way anymore.
तर ती राजाले आफ्नो लागि घोडाहरूको वृद्धि नगरून् न त घोडाहरूको वृद्धिको लागि मानिसहरूलाई मिश्रमा फर्कन लगाऊन् किनकि 'तिमीहरू त्यसरी फेरि कहिल्यै नजाओ' भनी परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई भन्नुभएको छ ।
17 And he does not multiply wives for himself, and his heart does not turn aside, and he does not exceedingly multiply silver and gold for himself.
तिनले आफ्ना लागि धेरै पत्नीहरू नल्याऊन् नत्रता तिनको हृदय बरालिने छ । तिनले सुन र चाँदीको थुप्रो नलगाऊन् ।
18 And it has been, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he has written a copy of this law for himself, on a scroll, from [that] before the priests, the Levites,
तिनी आफ्नो राज्यको सिंहासनमा बस्दा तिनले पुजारीहरू अर्थात् लेवीहरूको सामु राखिएको व्यवस्थाको प्रतिबाट आफ्नो लागि एक प्रति मुट्ठामा उतारून् ।
19 and it has been with him, and he has read in it all [the] days of his life, so that he learns to fear his God YHWH, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes—to do them,
त्यो मुट्ठा तिनीसितै हुनुपर्छ, र तिनले आफ्नो जीवनभरि यसलाई पढ्नुपर्छ । यसरी तिनले परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरको आदर गर्न सकून् अनि यस व्यवस्थाको सबै वचन र विधिविधान पालन गर्न सकून् ।
20 so that his heart is not high above his brothers, and so as not to turn aside from the command [to] the right or left, so that he prolongs days over his kingdom, he and his sons in the midst of Israel.”
तिनले आफैलाई आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूभन्दा श्रेष्ठ नठानून् र यी आज्ञाहरूबाट तर्केर दायाँ वा बायाँ नलागून् भनेर तिनले यसो गर्नुपर्छ किनकि आफ्नो राज्यमा तिनी र तिनका सन्तानहरूले इस्राएलमा लामो समयसम्म शासन गर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ ।
