व्यवस्था 16

1 आबीब महिनाको सम्झना राखेर परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको सामु निस्तार-चाड मान्‍नू किनकि आबीब महिनामा नै परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई रातमा मिश्रबाट ल्याउनुभयो ।

“Observe the month of new grain, at the beginning of springtime, so that you may accomplish the Passover to the Lord your God. For in this month, the Lord your God led you away from Egypt in the night.

2 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले आफ्नो पवित्र वासस्थानको रूपमा छान्‍नुहुने ठाउँमा गाईवस्तु र भेडा-बाख्राबाट उहाँको सामु निस्तार-चाडको बलि चढाउनू ।

And you shall immolate the Passover to the Lord your God, from sheep and from oxen, in the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may dwell there.

3 योसँगै खमिर हालेको रोटी नखानू । सात दिनसम्म अखमिरी रोटी अर्थात् कष्‍टको रोटी खानू । किनकि तिमीहरू हतारमा मिश्र देशबाट निस्केर आयौ । तिमीहरू मिश्र देशबाट निस्केर आएको दिनलाई याद राख्‍न तिमीहरूका जीवनभरि यसको पालन गर्नू ।

You shall not eat it with leavened bread. For seven days you shall eat, without leaven, the bread of affliction. For you departed from Egypt in fear. So may you remember the day of your departure from Egypt, throughout all the days of your life.

4 सात दिनसम्म तिमीहरूका सबै सिमानाभित्र कुनै पनि खमिर देखिनुहुँदैन । पहिलो दिनको साँझमा तिमीहरूले चढाउने बलिको कुनै पनि मासु भोलि बिहानसम्म रहनुहुँदैन ।

No leaven shall be present in all your confines for seven days. And by morning, there shall not remain any of the flesh which was immolated on the first day in the evening.

5 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले दिनुहुने जुनसुकै सहरमा तिमीहरूले निस्तार-चाडको बलि नचढाउनू ।

You cannot immolate the Passover in any of your cities, which the Lord your God will give to you, that you wish,

6 बरु, परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले आफ्नो पवित्र स्थानको रूपमा छान्‍नुहुने ठाउँमा त्यो चढाउनू । तिमीहरू मिश्रबाट निस्केर आएको वर्षको समय पारेर सूर्योदयको बेला साँझमा निस्तार-चाडको बलि चढाउनू ।

but only in the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may dwell there. You shall immolate the Passover in the evening, upon the setting of the sun, which is the time when you departed from Egypt.

7 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले छान्‍नुहुने ठाउँमा त्यसलाई पोलेर खानू । तिमीहरू बिहान फर्केर आ-आफ्ना पालमा जानू ।

And you shall cook and eat it in the place which the Lord your God will choose, and, rising up in the morning, you shall go into your tent.

8 छ दिनसम्म तिमीहरूले अखमिरी रोटी खानू । सातौँ दिनमा परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको सामु पवित्र सभा हुने छ । त्यस दिन तिमीहरूले कुनै काम नगर्नू ।

For six days, you shall eat unleavened bread. And on the seventh day, because it is the assembly of the Lord your God, you shall do no work.

9 तिमीहरूले आफ्ना लागि सात दिन गन्‍नू । पाकेको बाली काट्न सुरु गर्ने समयदेखि तिमीहरूले सात दिन गन्‍नू ।

You shall number for yourself seven weeks from that day, the day on which you put the sickle to the grain field.

10 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएको आशिष्‌मुताबिक तिमीहरूले दिने स्वैच्छिक बलिको योगदानसहित परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरका लागि साताहरूको चाड मान्‍नू ।

And you shall celebrate the Feast of Weeks, to the Lord your God, with a voluntary oblation from your hand, which you shall offer according to the blessing of the Lord your God.

11 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले पवित्र वासस्थानको रूपमा छान्‍नुहुने ठाउँमा तिमीहरू, तिमीहरूका छोराछोरी, तिमीहरूका कमारा-कमारी, सहरभित्र भएको लेवी र परदेशीसाथै तिमीहरूका बिचमा भएका अनाथ र विधवाले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको सामु आनन्द मनाओ ।

And you shall feast in the sight of the Lord your God: you, your son and your daughter, your man servant and your woman servant, and the Levite who is within your gates, and the new arrival as well as the orphan and the widow, who abide with you, in the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may dwell there.

12 तिमीहरू मिश्रमा कमारा थियो भनी तिमीहरूले याद गर्नू । तिमीहरूले यी विधिहरू मान्‍नू र पालन गर्नू ।

And you shall recall that you were a servant in Egypt. And you shall preserve and carry out the things that have been instructed.

13 तिमीहरूका खला र दाखको कोलबाट सबै फसल जम्मा गरिसकेपछि तिमीहरूले सात दिनसम्म छाप्रो-वासको चाड मान्‍नू ।

Likewise, you shall celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days, when you will have gathered your fruits from the orchard and the winepress.

14 तिमीहरू, तिमीहरूका छोराछोरी, तिमीहरूका कमारा-कमारी, लेवी र परदेशीसाथै तिमीहरूका सहरभित्र भएका अनाथ र विधवाले चाड अवधिमा आनन्द मनाओ ।

And you shall feast at the time of your festival: you, your son and daughter, your man servant and woman servant, likewise the Levite and the new arrival, the orphan and the widow, who are within your gates.

15 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले छान्‍नुहुने ठाउँमा उहाँको लागि सात दिनसम्म यो चाड मान्‍नू किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूका सबै फसल र तिमीहरूका हातका सबै काममा आशिष् दिनुहुने छ र तिमीहरू पूर्ण रूपमा आनन्दित हुने छौ ।

For seven days you shall celebrate feasts to the Lord your God in the place which the Lord will choose. And the Lord your God will bless you in all your crops, and in every work of your hands. And you shall be joyful.

16 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले छान्‍नुहुने ठाउँमा वर्षको तिन पटक तिमीहरूका सबै पुरुष उहाँको सामु खडा होओः अखमिरी रोटीको चाडमा, साताहरूको चाडमा र छाप्रो-वासको चाडमा । परमप्रभुको सामु कोही पनि रित्तो हात नजानू ।

Three times a year, all your males shall appear in the sight the Lord your God in the place which he will choose: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Tabernacles. No one shall appear before the Lord empty.

17 बरु, आफूले सकेजति हरेकले दिनू ताकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएको आशिष्‌लाई तिमीहरूले जान्‍न सक ।

But each one shall offer according to what he will have, according to the blessing of the Lord his God, which he will give to him.

18 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुहुने तिमीहरूका सबै सहरमा न्यायकर्ता र अधिकारीहरू नियुक्त गर्नू । तिमीहरूका हरेक कुलबाट तिनीहरूलाई छान्‍नू, र तिनीहरूले मानिसहरूको निष्पक्ष न्याय गरून् ।

You shall appoint judges and magistrates at all your gates, which the Lord your God will give to you, throughout each of your tribes, so that they may judge the people with a just judgment,

19 तिमीहरूले जबरजस्ती न्याय हरण नगर । पक्षपात नगर न त घुस लेओ किनकि घुसले बुद्धिमानीहरूको आँखालाई अन्धो तुल्याई धर्मीहरूका वचनलाई बङ्ग्याइदिन्छ ।

and not so as to show favoritism to either side. You shall not accept a person’s reputation, nor gifts. For gifts blind the eyes of the wise and alter the words of the just.

20 न्यायको मात्र पछि लाग ताकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूले दिनुहुने देशलाई अधिकार गरी त्यहाँ तिमीहरू बस्‍न सक्‍ने छौ ।

You shall justly pursue what is just, so that you may live and possess the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.

21 तिमीहरूले आफ्ना लागि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको वेदीको छेउमा अशेरा देवीको निम्ति कुनै पनि खम्बा खडा नगर्नू ।

You shall not plant a sacred grove, nor shall you plant any tree near the altar of the Lord your God;

22 तिमीहरूले आफ्ना लागि कुनै चोखा ढुङ्गा खडा नगर्नू जसलाई परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले घृणा गर्नुहुन्छ ।

you shall neither make nor set up for yourself a statue. These things the Lord your God hates.”
