< व्यवस्था 14 >
1 तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरका मानिसहरू हौ । मृतकहरूका लागि तिमीहरूले आफ्नो शरीरमा चोट नपुर्याउनु न त आफ्नो शिरको अगाडिको भाग खौरनू ।
You are the children of the Lord your God. Don't mutilate yourselves or shave your forehead like pagans do when they mourn the dead,
2 किनकि तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको लागि अलग गरिएका जाति हौ, र परमप्रभुले पृथ्वीको सतहमा बसोबास गर्ने सबै जातिभन्दा उहाँको आफ्नै निज सम्पत्ति हुन तिमीहरूलाई छान्नुभएको छ ।
because you are a holy people who belong to the Lord your God. The Lord chose you as his special people out of all the nations on earth.
3 तिमीहरूले कुनै घृणित खानेकुरो नखाओ ।
You must not eat anything repulsive.
4 तिमीहरूले खान हुने प्राणीहरू यिनै हुन्: गोरु, भेडा र बोका,
These are the animals that you are allowed to eat: cattle, sheep, goats,
5 मृग, हरिण, बराँठ, जङ्गली बोका, चित्तल र पहाडी भेडा ।
deer, gazelles, wild goats, antelopes, and mountain sheep.
6 दुई भागमा खुर चिरिएका र उग्रने कुनै पनि पशु तिमीहरूले खान सक्छौ ।
You can eat any animal that both has a divided hoof and also chews the cud.
7 तथापि, दुई भागमा खुर चिरिएका र उग्राने यी प्राणीहरूचाहिँ नखानूः ऊँट, खरायो, शापान, किनभने तिनीहरूले उग्रन्छन् तर तिनीहरूको खुर चिरिएको हुँदैन । त्यसैले ती तिमीहरूका निम्ति अशुद्ध हुन् ।
But you are not allowed to eat those that either chew the cud or have a divided hoof. This includes: camels, rabbits, and rock hyraxes. Even though they chew the cud, they don't have a divided hoof. You must treat them as unclean.
8 सुँगुर पनि तिमीहरूका लागि अशुद्ध हो किनकि त्यसको खुर चिरिएको हुन्छ तर त्यसले उग्रँदैन । त्यो तिमीहरूका निम्ति अशुद्ध हो । सुँगुरको मासु नखानू, र तिनीहरूका सिनु नछुनू ।
The same applies to the pig. Even though it has a divided hoof, it does not chew the cud. So you must treat it as unclean. You must not eat its meat or touch its dead body.
9 पानीमा बस्ने यी जलजन्तुहरूमध्ये पखेटा र कत्ला भएका तिमीहरूले खान सक्छौ ।
When it comes to creatures that live in the water, you are allowed to eat anything that has fins and scales.
10 तर पखेटा र कत्ला नभएकाहरूचाहिँ तिमीहरूले नखानू । ती तिमीहरूका लागि अशुद्ध हुन् ।
But you must not eat anything that does not have fins and scales. You must treat them as unclean.
11 तिमीहरूले सबै शुद्ध पक्षी खान सक्छौ ।
You are allowed to eat any clean bird.
12 तर तिमीहरूले यी पक्षीहरूचाहिँ नखानूः गरुड, गिद्ध, कालो गिद्ध,
But you must not eat the following: eagle, griffon vulture, bearded vulture,
13 सबै थरीका रातो चील, कालो चील ।
buzzard, kites, any kind of falcon,
14 तिमीहरूले कुनै पनि किसिमको काग,
any member of the crow family,
15 र अस्ट्रिच, ठुलो लाटोकोसेरो, समुद्री चरो, सबै थरीका बाज,
tawny owl, long-eared owl, gulls, any kind of hawk,
16 सानो लाटोकोसेरो, ठुलो लाटोकोसेरो, सेतो लाटोकोसेरो, मरुभूमिको लाटोकोसेरो,
little owl, eagle owl, barn owl,
17 माछा मार्ने चील र जल कौवा खानुहुँदैन ।
desert owl, Egyptian vulture, fish owl,
18 तिमीहरूले सारस, कुनै पनि किसिमको बकुल्ला, फाप्रे चरो र चमेरो खानुहुँदैन ।
storks, any kind of heron, hoopoe, or bats.
19 बथान-बथानमा उड्ने सबै किरा तिमीहरूका लागि अशुद्ध हुन् । तिमीहरूले ती खानुहुँदैन ।
All insects that fly are unclean to you; you must not eat them.
20 तर पखेटा भएका सबै शुद्ध प्राणी तिमीहरूले खान सक्छौ ।
But you are allowed to eat any clean animal that has wings.
21 आफै मरेको कुनै पनि थोक नखानू । तिमीहरूका सहरहरूभित्र बस्ने परदेशीलाई त्यो दिन सक्छौ र त्यसले खान सक्छ वा यो परदेशीलाई बेच्न सक्छौ । किनकि तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको लागि अलग गरिएका जाति हौ । बाख्राको पाठो माउको दूधमा नपकाउनू ।
You must not eat any animal that dies. You can give it to a foreigner in your town, and they can eat it, or you can sell it to a foreigner. You, however, are a holy people who belong to the Lord your God. Don't cook a young goat in its mother's milk.
22 वर्षैपिच्छे तिमीहरूको खेतबाट आउने सबै उब्जनीबाट निश्चय नै दशांश छुट्ट्याउनू ।
Make sure you pay a tithe of every crop grown each year in your fields.
23 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले जुन ठाउँलाई आफ्नो पवित्र वासस्थानको रूपमा चुन्नुहुन्छ, त्यही ठाउँमा उहाँको सामु तिमीहरूको अन्न, नयाँ मद्य, तेल र तिमीहरूका गाईवस्तुसाथै भेडा-बाख्राको पहिले जन्मेकाहरूको दशांश खानू । परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरलाई सधैँ आदर गर्न सिक्नू ।
You are to eat a tenth of your grain, new wine, and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks, in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose to live with you, so that you will learn to always respect the Lord your God.
24 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुभएपछि उहाँको पवित्र स्थानको रूपमा छान्नुहुने ठाउँमा दशांश लिएर जान तिमीहरूलाई निकै टाढा भयो र तिमीहरूले त्यहाँसम्म दशांश लैजान सकेनौ भने,
However, if it's too far to carry all the tithe that the Lord your God has blessed you with, because the place where the Lord your God will choose to live with you is too distant,
25 तिमीहरूले त्यसलाई बेचेर पैसा आफ्नो हातमा लिन सक्छौ अनि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले छान्नुहुने ठाउँमा जान सक्छौ ।
then you can exchange it for money, take the money with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose.
26 त्यहाँ तिमीहरूले इच्छा लागेअनुसार खर्च गर्न सक्छौः गोरुको लागि वा भेडाको लागि वा दाखमद्यको लागि वा कडा दाखमद्यको लागि वा तिमीहरूको इच्छाअनुसार अन्य जुनसुकै थोकको लागि । त्यहाँ तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका सामु खाने छौ अनि तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूको घराना रमाउने छौ ।
Then you can spend the money on anything you like—cattle, sheep, wine, alcoholic drink, or anything else you want. Then you can have a feast there in the presence of the Lord your God and celebrate with your family.
27 तिमीहरूका सहरहरूभित्र भएको लेवीलाई नत्याग किनकि त्योसित तिमीहरूसँग झैँ कुनै हिस्सा वा सम्पत्ति छैन ।
Don't forget to take care of the Levites in your town, because they don't have any share in the allotment of land.
28 तिमीहरूले हरेक तिन वर्षको अन्त्यमा वर्ष-वर्षको उब्जनीको सबै दशांश ल्याउनू, र त्यसलाई तिमीहरूका सहरभित्र भण्डारण गर्नू ।
At the end of every third year, collect a tenth of all your produce for that year and store it in your town.
29 लेवीसित तिमीहरूसँगै कुनै हिस्सा वा सम्पत्ति नभएकोले लेवीसाथै तिमीहरूका सहरहरूभित्र भएका परदेशी, अनाथसाथै विधवा आएर ती खाऊन् अनि तृप्त होऊन् । यसो गर ताकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूले गर्ने सबै कुरामा तिमीहरूलाई आशिष् देऊन् ।
This way the Levites (who don't have any share in the allotment of land), the foreigners, the orphans, and the widows in your town will be provided with what they need. The Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.
