Deuteronomy 21
1 If [one] shall be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, [and] it be not known who hath slain him:
परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई अधिकार गर्न दिन लाग्नुभएको देशको कुनै मैदानमा कोही मारिएको पाइयो र यसको हत्याराको निधो भएन भने,
2 Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure to the cities which [are] around him that is slain:
तिमीहरूका धर्म-गुरुहरू र न्यायकर्ताहरू गएर लाशदेखि नजिक भएका सहरहरू पत्ता लगाऊन् ।
3 And it shall be [that] the city [which is] next to the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer which hath not been wrought with, [and] which hath not drawn in the yoke;
त्यसपछि लाशको निकटतम सहरका धर्म-गुरुहरूले गाईवस्तुबाट काममा नलगाएको र जुवा नहालेको एउटा कोरली लिऊन् ।
4 And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer to a rough valley, which is neither tilled nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley;
अनि तिनीहरूले त्यस कोरलीलाई नजोतिएको र बिउ नछरिएको खोला भएको उपत्यकामा लैजाऊन्, र त्यहाँ तिनीहरूले त्यसको घाँटी भाँचिदिऊन् ।
5 And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near (for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister to him, and to bless in the name of the LORD) and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be [tried];
पुजारीहरू अर्थात् लेवीका सन्तानहरू अगाडि आऊन् किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई उहाँको सेवा गर्न र परमप्रभुको नाउँमा आशिष् दिन अनि हरेक वादविवाद मिलाइदिन छान्नुभएको छ ।
6 And all the elders of that city [that are] next to the slain [man], shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:
मारिएको मानिसको निकटतम सहरका सबै धर्म-गुरुले उपत्यकामा घाँटी निमोठिएको कोरलीमाथि आ-आफ्ना हात धोऊन् ।
7 And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen [it].
अनि तिनीहरूले त्यस मामललाई जवाफ दिई यसो भनून्, 'हाम्रा हातले यो रगत बगाएका होइनन्, न त हाम्रा आँखाले यसलाई देखेका छन् ।'
8 Be merciful, O LORD, to thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood to the charge of thy people Israel. And the blood shall be forgiven them.
हे परमप्रभु इस्राएललाई क्षमा दिनुहोस् जसलाई तपाईंले छुटकारा दिनुभएको छ, र तपाईंको जाति इस्राएलको बिचमा यो निर्दोषको हत्याको दोष नलगाउनुहोस् ।' तब हत्याको दोषलाई क्षमा हुने छ ।
9 So shalt thou remove the [guilt of] innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do [that which is] right in the sight of the LORD.
यसरी तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे ठिक छ त्यही गरेकाले तिमीहरूले तिमीहरूका बिचबाट निर्दोषको हत्याको दोषलाई हटाउने छौ ।
10 When thou goest forth to war against thy enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thy hands, and thou hast taken them captive,
जब तिमीहरू आफ्ना शत्रुहरूको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्न जान्छौ र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई विजय दिई तिनीहरूलाई तिमीहरूको वशमा ल्याउनुहुन्छ अनि जब तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई बन्दी बनाई ल्याउँछौ,
11 And [thou] seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire to her, that thou wouldest have her for thy wife:
तब तिमीहरूले बन्दीहरूका बिचमा सुन्दरी स्त्री देख्यौ र त्यसलाई आफ्नी पत्नी बनाउने इच्छा गर्यौ भने
12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thy house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails:
त्यसलाई आफ्नो घरमा लैजानू । त्यसले आफ्नो कपाल खौरन्छे र नङ् काट्छे ।
13 And she shall put off from her the raiment of her captivity, and shall remain in thy house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that, thou shalt go in to her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
त्यसपछि त्यसले निर्वासनमा छँदा आफूले लगाएको लुगा फुकाल्छे र त्यो तिम्रो घरमा बसी आफ्ना बुबाआमाको लागि एक वर्षसम्म शोक गर्छे । त्यसपछि तिमी त्योसित सुत्न सक्छौ र त्यसको पति हुन सक्छौ र त्यो तिम्री पत्नी हुन्छे ।
14 And it shall be, if thou shalt have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money; thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.
तर तिमीले त्यसमा रुचि देखाएनौ भने त्यसलाई इच्छा लागेको ठाउँमा जान दिनू । तथापि तिमीले त्यसलाई पैसामा नबेच्नू, त्यसलाई कमारीलाई जस्तै व्यवहार नगर्नू किनकि तिमीले त्यसको सतीत्व नष्ट गरेका छौ ।
15 If a man shall have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have borne him children, [both] the beloved and the hated; and [if] the first-born son be hers that was hated:
कुनै मानिसका दुई पत्नी छन् र त्यसले एउटालाई माया गर्छ र अर्कीलाई घृणा गर्छ अनि दुवै जनाले सन्तान जन्माएका छन् भने अनि घृणा गरिनेले चाहिँ जेठो छोरो जन्माएको छ भने
16 Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit [that] which he hath, [that] he may not prefer the son of the beloved first-born, before the son of the hated, [which is indeed] the first-born:
अंशबन्डा गर्दा माया गर्नेको छोरा भनेर माया नगर्नेको खास जेठो छोरोलाई उछिनेर पिताले कान्छोलाई अधिकार दिन मिल्दैन ।
17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated [for] the first-born, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he [is] the beginning of his strength; the right of the first-born [is] his.
बरु, त्यसले घृणा गरिएकी पत्नीको छोरोलाई नै आफ्ना सबै सम्पत्तिको दोब्बर भाग दिएर जेठो हो भनी मान्यता देओस् । किनकि त्यो छोरो नै त्यसको शक्तिको सुरु हो । जेठोको हक त्यसको नै हो ।
18 If a man shall have a stubborn and rebellious son, who will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and [who], when they have chastened him, will not hearken to them:
कुनै मानिसको हठी र विर्दोही छोरो छ जसले आफ्ना बुबा वा आमाको कुरा मान्दैन वा र तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई सुधार्दा पनि त्यो सुध्रदैन भने
19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out to the elders of his city, and to the gate of his place;
त्यसका बुबाआमाले त्यसलाई समातेर सहरका धर्म-गुरुहरूकहाँ सहरका ढोकाहरूमा ल्याऊन् ।
20 And they shall say to the elders of his city, This our son [is] stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; [he is] a glutton, and a drunkard.
तिनीहरूले धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई यसो भनून्, 'यो हाम्रो छोरो हठी र विर्दोही छ । यसले हाम्रो कुरा मान्दैन । यो लफङ्गो र मतवाला हो ।'
21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he may die: so shalt thou remove evil from among you, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
तब सहरका सबै मानिसले त्यसलाई ढुङ्गाले हानेर मारून् । यसरी तिमीहरूले तिमीहरूका बिचबाट दुष्टतालाई हटाउने छौ । सारा इस्राएली यो सुनेर डराउने छन् ।
22 And if a man shall have committed a sin worthy of death, and he must be put to death, and thou shalt hang him on a tree:
कुनै मानिसले मृत्यु योग्यको पाप गरेको छ र त्यसलाई मृत्युदण्ड दिँदा त्यसलाई रुखमा झुण्ड्यायौ भने
23 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged [is] accursed of God; ) that thy land may not be defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance.
त्यसको लाश रातभरि रुखमा नरहोस् । बरु, त्यसलाई त्यही दिनमा नै गाडिदिनू । किनकि जो झुण्ड्याइन्छ त्यो परमप्रभुबाट श्रापित हुन्छ । परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई सम्पत्तिको रूपमा दिनुहुने देशलाई तिमीहरूले बिटुलो नपार भनेर यो आज्ञा पालन गर ।
