Deuteronomy 18
1 The priests the Levites, [and] all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.
पुजारीहरू अर्थात् लेवीहरू र सबै लेवी कुलको इस्राएलीहरूसित कुनै हिस्सा वा अंश हुने छैन । तिनीहरूले आफ्नो अंशको रूपमा आगोद्वारा चढाइएका परमप्रभुका बलिहरू खाऊन् ।
2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD [is] their inheritance, as he hath said to them.
आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूका बिचमा तिनीहरूको कुनै अंश नहोस् । तिनीहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा गरिएअनुसार परमप्रभु नै तिनीहरूका अंश हुनुहुन्छ ।
3 And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether ox or sheep; and they shall give to the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
गोरु वा भेडा बलिदान गर्ने मानिसहरूबाट पुजारीहरूले पाउने भाग यही होः कुम, दुईवटा गाला र आन्द्रा-भुँडी ।
4 The first-fruit [also] of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thy oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
तिमीहरूको अन्न, नयाँ मद्य, तेलको पहिलो फलसाथै तिमीहरूको भेडाको पहिलो ऊन तिमीहरूले पुजारीलाई दिनू ।
5 For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.
किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले परमप्रभुको नाउँमा सेवा गर्न त्यो र त्यसका छोराहरूलाई सदाको लागि चुन्नुभएको छ ।
6 And if a Levite shall come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind to the place which the LORD shall choose;
इस्राएलको कुनै पनि सहरमा बसेको कुनै एउटा लेवीले आफ्नो सारा हृदयले इच्छा गरेर परमप्रभुले छान्नुहुने ठाउँमा आयो भने
7 Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites [do], who stand there before the LORD.
परमप्रभुको सामु खडा हुने त्यसका सबै लेवी दाजुभाइले जस्तै गरी त्यसले परमप्रभु त्यसका परमेश्वरको नाउँमा सेवा गरोस् ।
8 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.
त्यसको आफ्नो परिवारको सम्पतिको बिक्रीबाट आएको अतिरिक्त त्यसले पनि खानको लागि समान हिस्सा पाउनुपर्छ ।
9 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
जब तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिन लाग्नुभएको देशमा आउँछौ तब तिमीहरूले ती जातिहरूका घृणित कुराहरूको देखासिकी गर्न नसिक्नू ।
10 There shall not be found among you [any one] that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, [or] that useth divination, [or] an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
तिमीहरूका बिचमा आफ्नो छोरा या छोरीलाई आगोमा बलि गर्ने, शकून-अपशकून बताउने, जोखना हेर्ने, वा गिलासमा भएको चिन्हहरू पढ्ने वा टुनामुना गर्ने,
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
मोहनी लगाउने, आत्मासित सल्लाह लिने वा भाग्य बताउने वा मरेकाहरूका आत्मासित कुरा गर्ने कोही पनि नपाइयोस् ।
12 For all that do these things [are] an abomination to the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
किनकि जसले यी कुराहरू गर्छ, त्यो परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा घृणित हुन्छ । यी घृणित कामहरूको कारणले गर्दा नै परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूकै सामु तिनीहरूलाई धपाउँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।
13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको सामु निष्खोट हुनुपर्छ ।
14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened to observers of times, and to diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so [to do].
किनकि तिमीहरूले हराउने जातिहरूले जादुगरी, शकून-अपशकूनको अभ्यास गर्नेहरूको कुरा सुन्छन् । तर परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई त्यसो गर्न अनुमति दिनुभएको छैन ।
15 The LORD thy God will raise up to thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like to me; to him ye shall hearken.
परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूका बिचबाट तिमीहरूका दाजुभाइबाट मजस्तै एक जना अगमवक्ता खड गर्नुहुने छ । तिनको कुरा सुन्नू ।
16 According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I may not die.
होरेबमा सभाको दिनमा तिमीहरूले यसो भन्दै परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरलाई बिन्ती चढायौ, 'हामीले फेरि परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरको आवाज सुन्न नपरोस् न त उहाँको यो डरलाग्दो आगो देख्न परोस् नत्रता हामी मर्ने छौँ ।'
17 And the LORD said to me, They have well [spoken of that] which they have spoken.
परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, 'तिनीहरूले भनेका कुरा ठिक छ ।
18 I will raise up to them a prophet from among their brethren, like thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.
म तिनीहरूकै दाजुभाइहरूका बिचबाट तँजस्तै एक जना अगमवक्ता खडा गर्ने छु । म त्यसको मुखमा मेरा वचन हालिदिने छु र त्यसले मैले तँलाई आज्ञा गरेका सबै वचन बोल्ने छ ।
19 And it shall come to pass, [that] whoever will not hearken to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require [it] of him.
त्यसले मेरो नाउँमा बोल्ने मेरा वचन नसुन्ने कोही पनि मारिने छ ।
20 But the prophet, who shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
तर मेरो नाउँमा अहङ्कारी भएर मैले आज्ञा नगरेको वचन बोल्ने वा अन्य देवताहरूको नाउँमा बोल्ने अगमवक्ता मारिनैपर्छ ।'
21 And if thou shalt say in thy heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
तिमीहरूले आ-आफ्ना हृदयमा सोधौला, 'परमप्रभुले बोल्नुभएको वचन होइन भनेर हामीले कसरी थाहा पाउने?'
22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing doth not follow, nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, [but] the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
परमप्रभुको नाउँमा बोल्ने अगमवक्ताले बोल्दा तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुको सन्देश थाहा पाउने छौ ।
