< Deuteronomy 17 >
1 You shall not sacrifice to the LORD your God an ox, or a sheep, in which is a blemish, or anything evil; for that is an abomination to the LORD your God.
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 If there is found in the midst of you, within any of your gates which the LORD your God gives you, man or woman, who does that which is evil in the sight of the LORD your God, in 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 has gone and served other gods, and worshiped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, 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 be told you, and you have heard of it, then you shall inquire diligently; and look, if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is 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 shall bring forth that man or that woman, who has done this evil thing, to your gates, even the man or the woman; and you shall stone them to death with stones.
यस्तो दुष्ट काम गर्ने त्यो पुरुष वा स्त्रीलाई तिमीहरूले सहरको प्रवेशद्वारमा ल्याएर हरेक पुरुष, स्त्री र तिमीहरूले ढुङ्गाले हानेर मार्नू ।
6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he who is to die be put to death; at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
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 shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.
ती साक्षीहरूले पहिले आ-आफ्ना हात उठाऊन् त्यसपछि अरू सबै मानिसले आ-आफ्ना हात उठाऊन् । यसरी तिमीहरूले आफ्ना बिचबाट दुष्टतालाई हटाउने छौ ।
8 If there arises a matter too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within your gates; then you shall arise, and go up to the place which the LORD your God shall choose;
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 you shall come to the cohanim the Levites, and to the judge who shall be in those days: and you shall inquire; and they shall show you the sentence of judgment.
तिमीहरू लेवीका सन्तानहरू अर्थात् त्यस बेला न्यायको लागि सेवा गर्ने पुजारीहरूकहाँ जानू । तिनीहरूका सल्लाह लिनू र तिनीहरूले निर्णय सुनाउने छन् ।
10 You shall do according to the tenor of the sentence which they shall show you from that place which the LORD shall choose; and you shall observe to do according to all that they shall teach you:
परमप्रभुले आफ्नो पवित्र वासस्थानको रूपमा छान्नुहुने ठाउँमा तिमीहरूलाई दिइएको व्यवस्थालाई तिमीहरूले मान्नू ।
11 according to the tenor of the law which they shall teach you, and according to the judgment which they shall tell you, you shall do; you shall not turn aside from the sentence which they shall show you, to the right hand, nor to the 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 The man who does presumptuously, in not listening to the cohen who stands to minister there before the LORD your God, or to the judge, even that man shall die: and you shall put away the 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 All the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
सबै मानिस यो सुनेर डराउने छन् अनि अब उसो अहङ्कारी हुने छैनन् ।
14 When you have come to the land which the LORD your God gives you, and shall possess it, and shall dwell in it, and shall say, "I will set a king over me, like all the nations that 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 shall surely set him king over yourselves, whom the LORD your God shall choose: one from among your brothers you shall set king over you; you may not put a foreigner 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 shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses; because the LORD has said to you, "You shall not go back that way again."
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 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart not turn away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
तिनले आफ्ना लागि धेरै पत्नीहरू नल्याऊन् नत्रता तिनको हृदय बरालिने छ । तिनले सुन र चाँदीको थुप्रो नलगाऊन् ।
18 It shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law on a scroll in the presence of the Levitical cohanim.
तिनी आफ्नो राज्यको सिंहासनमा बस्दा तिनले पुजारीहरू अर्थात् लेवीहरूको सामु राखिएको व्यवस्थाको प्रतिबाट आफ्नो लागि एक प्रति मुट्ठामा उतारून् ।
19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, 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 that his heart not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he not turn aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, 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 ।
