Deuteronomy 12
1 “(I will now tell you again/These, [again], are) the rules and regulations that you must faithfully obey in the land that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], is giving to you to occupy. You must obey these laws all the time that you are alive.
परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई अधिकार गर्न दिनुभएको देशमा तिमीहरू बाँचुञ्जेलसम्म तिमीहरूले मान्नुपर्ने विधिविधानहरू यिनै हुन् ।
2 You must destroy all the places where the people-groups that you will expel worship their gods, on the tops of mountains and hills and under big green trees.
जुन जातिहरूलाई तिमीहरूले पराजित गर्छौ तिनीहरूले अग्ला पर्वतहरू, डाँडाहरू र हरेक हरियो रुखमुनि पुजा गर्ने तिनीहरूका देवताहरूलाई निश्चय नै नष्ट पारिदिनू ।
3 You must tear down their altars and smash their sacred pillars. Completely burn the statues of their goddess Asherah in fires, and chop down their wooden idols, in order that no one will ever worship them [MTY] in those places again.
तिनीहरूका वेदीहरू भत्काइदिनू र तिनीहरूका ढुङ्गाका मूर्तिहरूलाई टुक्राटुक्रा पारिदिनू र तिनीहरूका अशेरा देवीका खम्बाहरू जलाइदिनू । खोपेर बनाइएका तिनीहरूका देवताका मूर्तिहरू काटिदिनू र त्यस ठाउँबाट तिनीहरूका नाउँ मेटिदिनू ।
4 “Do not worship Yahweh like [the people in Canaan worship their gods].
तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरलाई त्यसरी आराधना नगर्नू ।
5 Instead, you must go to the place that Yahweh will choose. It will be in the area where one of your tribes will live. That is where you must go to worship Yahweh.
तर जुन ठाउँ परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले आफ्नो नाउँ राख्न तिमीहरूका सबै कुलबाट चुन्नुहुन्छ त्यही नै त्यो ठाउँ हुने छ जहाँ तिमीहरू बस्छौ र त्यहीँ नै तिमीहरू जाने छौ ।
6 That is the place where you must bring your sacrifices that will be completely burned on the altar, and your other sacrifices, (your tithes/ten percent of all of your crops), other offerings that you decide to give, and the firstborn animals from your cattle and sheep.
त्यहीँ नै तिमीहरूले आफ्ना होमबलि, भेटी, दशांश, तिमीहरूका हातका भेटी, भाकलका भेटी, स्वैच्छिक भेटी र तिमीहरूका गाईवस्तु र भेडा-बाख्राका पहिले जन्मेकाहरूलाई ल्याउने छौ ।
7 There, in the presence of Yahweh our God, who has [greatly] blessed you, you and your families will eat the good things that you have worked to produce, and you will be happy.
त्यहीँ नै तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको सामु खाने छौ र तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका घरानाहरूले हात लगाएका हरेक कुराको बारेमा आनन्द मनाउने छौ जहाँ परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुभएको छ ।
8 “[When you are in that land], you must not do some of the things that we have been doing. Until now, you have all been worshiping [Yahweh] the way you wanted to,
आज यहाँ हामीले गरिरहेका कुनै पनि कुरा नगर्नू । अहिले हरेकलाई आफ्नो दृष्टिमा जे ठिक लाग्छ, त्यसले त्यही गरिरहेको छ ।
9 because you have not yet arrived in the land which Yahweh is giving to you, where you will be able to live peacefully.
किनकि तिमीहरू अझै पनि विश्राम अर्थात् परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुहुने उत्तराधिकारमा आएका छैनौ ।
10 But when you cross the Jordan [River], you will start to live in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you. He will protect you from all your enemies that will surround you, and you will live peacefully/safely.
तर जब तिमीहरू यर्दन पारी जान्छौ र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई सम्पत्तिको रूपमा दिनुहुने देशमा बस्छौ तब उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई तिमीहरूका चारैतिर भएका सबै शत्रुबाट विश्राम दिनुहुने छ ताकि तिमीहरू सुरक्षितसाथ बस्न सक ।
11 “Yahweh will choose one place where he wants you to worship him. That is the place to which you must bring all the offerings that I command you to bring: The sacrifices that must be completely burned [on the altar], your other sacrifices, other offerings that you yourselves decide to give, (your tithes/ten percent of all your crops), and all the special offerings that you will solemnly promise to give to Yahweh.
अनि जुन ठाउँमा परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले आफ्नो नाउँ राख्न छान्नुहुन्छ त्यहीँ नै मैले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिने हरेक थोक ल्याओ अर्थात् तिमीहरूका होमबलि, भेटी, दशांश र तिमीहरूका हातका भेटी, परमप्रभुको निम्ति तिमीहरूले चढाउने भाकलका सबै स्वैच्छिक भेटी ल्याओ ।
12 Rejoice there in the presence of Yahweh, along with your children, your male and female servants, and the descendants of Levi who live in your towns. Do not forget that the descendants of Levi will not have their own land, like you will have.
तिमीहरू, तिमीहरूका छोराहरू, तिमीहरूका छोरीहरू, तिमीहरूका कमारा-कमारीहरू र तिमीहरूका सहरभित्र हुने लेवीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको सामु रमाउने छौ । तिमीहरूका बिचमा बस्ने लेवीहरूसित कुनै हिस्सा वा सम्पत्ति हुँदैन ।
13 Be sure that you do not offer sacrifices anywhere you want to.
तिमीहरूका होमबलिहरू तिमीहरूले देख्ने हरेक ठाउँमा नचढाउन होसियार बस ।
14 You must offer them only in the place that Yahweh will choose for you, in an area that belongs to one of your tribes. That is the only place where he wants you to offer sacrifices that will be completely burned [on the altar], and to do the other things that I am commanding you to do [when you worship him].
तर परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूका कुलबाट छान्नुहुने एउटा ठाउँमा तिमीहरूले आफ्ना होमबलिहरू चढाउनू र त्यहीँ नै मैले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेका हरेक कुरा गर्नू ।
15 “However, you will be permitted to kill and eat the meat of your animals in the places where you live. As often as you want to, you may eat the meat of the animals that Yahweh our God will bless you by giving them to you. Those who have done things that cause them to become unacceptable to God and those who have not done things like that may all eat that meat, just like you would eat the meat of a deer or an antelope.
तथापि, परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएको आशिष्लाई स्वीकार गरी तिमीहरूलाई इच्छा लागेअनुसार तिमीहरूका सहरहरूभित्र तिमीहरूले पशु मारेर खान सक्छौ । हरिण र मृगजस्ता प्राणीका मासुहरू शुद्ध र अशुद्ध दुवै थरीका मानिसहरूले खान सक्छन् ।
16 But you must not eat the blood [of any animals]; you must let the blood drain onto the ground [before you cook the meat].
तर तिमीहरूले रगतचाहिँ नखाओ । यसलाई पानीझैँ भुइँमा पोखाइदेओ ।
17 In the places where you live, you must not eat the things that you are offering [to Yahweh]: You must not eat the (tithes/ten percent) of your grain or of your wine, or of your [olive] oil, or the firstborn of your cattle and sheep, or the offerings that you yourselves decide to give to Yahweh, or any other offerings.
तिमीहरूको अन्न, नयाँ मद्य, तेल, गाईवस्तु वा भेडा-बाख्राका पहिले जन्मेकाहरूको दशांश तिमीहरूले सहरहरूभित्र खानुहुँदैन । तिमीहरूले गर्ने भाकलसँगै चढाउने कुनै पनि बलिदानको मासु नखाओ न त स्वैच्छिक भेटी वा तिमीहरूका हातले चढाउने भेटीबाट खाओ ।
18 Instead, you and your children and your male and female servants and the descendants of Levi who live in your towns must go to the place that he has chosen and eat those things there in the presence of Yahweh. And you should rejoice in the presence of Yahweh about everything that you do.
बरु, तिमी, तिम्रा छोराछोरी, तिम्रा कमारा-कमारी र तिम्रा सहरहरूभित्र बस्ने लेवीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले छन्नुहुने ठाउँमा तिनलाई खानू । तिमीहरूले हात लगाउने हरेक कुराको बारेमा तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको सामु रमाउने छौ ।
19 Be sure that you take care of the descendants of Levi all during the time that you live in your land.
तिमीहरू आफ्नो देशमा बसुञ्जेलसम्म लेवीहरूलाई नभुल्नमा ध्यान देओ ।
20 “When Yahweh our God gives you much more land [than you will have when you first occupy it], which is what he has promised to do, and you say ‘I would like some meat to eat’ because you are craving/wanting some meat, you will be permitted to eat meat whenever you want to.
परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम उहाँले तिमीहरूका सिमानाहरू बढाउनुहुँदा मासु खाने तिमीहरूको इच्छाको कारणले तिमीहरूले 'म मासु खाने छु' भन्दा तिमीहरूले इच्छा लागेअनुसार खान सक्छौ ।
21 If the place that Yahweh our God chooses to be the place for you to worship him is far [from where you live], you are permitted to kill some of your cattle or sheep that Yahweh has given to you, and you may eat that meat at the places where you live, just like I have told you to do.
परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले आफ्नो नाउँ राख्न छान्नुहुने ठाउँ तिमीहरूबाट ज्यादै टाढा भयो भने मैले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिएअनुसार परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएका गाईवस्तु र भेडा-बाख्राबाट केहीलाई मार्नू, र तिमीहरूको मनले इच्छा गरेअनुसार तिमीहरूले आफ्ना सहरहरूभित्र तिनलाई खान सक्छौ ।
22 Those who have done things that cause them to become unacceptable to God, and those who have not done things like that, are all permitted to all eat that meat, just like you would eat the meat of a deer or an antelope.
तिमीहरूले हरिण र मृगलाई खाएझैँ तिनीहरूलाई खान सक्छौ । अशुद्ध र शुद्ध मानिसहरूले समान रूपमा खान सक्छन् ।
23 But be sure that you do not eat the blood [of any animal], because it is the blood that sustains life in living beings, and so you must not eat the life along with the meat.
केवल रगत नखाने कुरामा निश्चित होओ किनकि रगत जीवन हो । मासुसँगै जीवन नखाओ ।
24 Do not eat the blood; instead, let it drain onto the ground.
तिमीहरूले रगत नखाओ । यसलाई पानीलाई झैँ भुइँमा खन्याइदिनू ।
25 If you obey this command and do what Yahweh says is right [for you to do], things will go well for you and for your descendants.
तिमीहरूले रगत नखाओ । तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे ठिक छ त्यो गर्यौ भने तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीहरूको भलो हुने छ ।
26 “But the sacred offerings that Yahweh has told you to give and the other offerings that you yourselves decide to give, you must take to the place that Yahweh will choose.
तर तिमीहरूसित भएका थोकहरू र भाकलका भेटीहरू जुन परमप्रभुका हुन्, ती लिएर परमप्रभुले छान्नुहुने ठाउँमा जाओ ।
27 You must offer there the sacrifices that will be completely burned [on Yahweh’s altar]. You must also offer there the sacrifices from which you may eat some of meat after you [kill the animals and] drain out the blood and some of it is thrown on the [sides of the] altar.
त्यहाँ परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको वेदीमा तिमीहरूले होमबलिसाथै मासु र रगत चढाओ । तिमीहरूका बलिदानको रगत परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको वेदीमा खन्याऊ र मासुचाहिँ तिमीहरूले खाओ ।
28 Faithfully obey all these things that I have commanded you. If you do that, things will go well forever for you and your descendants, because you will be doing what Yahweh our God says is right [for you to do] and what pleases him.
मैले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेका यी सबै वचनलाई ध्यान दिएर पालन गर ताकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको दृष्टिमा तिमीहरूले जे ठिक र असल छ त्यही गर्दा तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीहरूको सदैव भलो होस् ।
29 “When you enter the land that you will occupy, as you advance, Yahweh our God will get rid of the people-groups that live there.
परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूका सामु ती जातिहरूलाई निष्कासन गर्नुहँदा तिमीहरू त्यहाँ गई तिनीहरूलाई पराजित गर्ने छौ र तिनीहरूको देशमा बस्ने छौ ।
30 After he does that, be sure that you do not [worship the gods] that they have been worshiping, because if you do that, you will be caught in the same trap [that they were caught in] [MET]. Do not ask anyone about those gods, saying, ‘Tell me how they worshiped their gods, in order that I can [worship them] also.’
होसियार बस, कि तिमीहरूका सामु तिनीहरू नष्ट गरिएपछि तिनीहरूलाई पछ्याउने पासोमा नपर्नू । 'यी जातिहरूले कसरी तिनीहरूका देवताहरूको पुजा गर्छन् म पनि त्यस्तै गर्ने छु' भन्दै तिनीहरूका देवताहरूको चासो लिने पासोमा नपर्नू ।
31 Do not try to worship Yahweh our God like they have worshiped their gods, because when they worship them, they do disgusting things, things that Yahweh hates. [The worst thing that they do is] that they sacrifice their own children and burn them [on their altars].
तिमीहरूले त्यसरी परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको आराधना नगर्नू किनकि तिनीहरूले आफ्ना देवताहरूलाई परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा घृणित हरेक कुरो र उहाँले घृणा गर्ने कुराहरू गरेका छन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना छोराछोरीहरू आफ्ना देवताहरूका निम्ति आगोमा होम दिन्छन् ।
32 “Be sure to do everything that I have commanded you to do. Do not add anything to these commands, and do not take anything away from them.”
मैले जे-जे आज्ञा दिन्छु, त्यसको पालन गर । यसमा नथप न त यसबाट हटाउने काम गर ।
