< व्यवस्था 17 >
1 तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको लागि कुनै पनि खोट लागेको वा खराब भएको बलि नचढाउनू किनकि त्यो परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको लागि घृणित कुरो हुने छ ।
Thou shall not sacrifice to Jehovah thy God an ox, or a sheep, in which is a blemish or anything bad, for that is an abomination to Jehovah thy God.
2 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुहुने कुनै पनि सहरमा परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको दृष्टिमा तिमीहरूका बिचमा कुनै पुरुष वा स्त्रीले दुष्ट काम गर्यो भने वा उहाँको करार भङ्ग गर्यो भने वा
If there be found in the midst of thee, within any of thy gates which Jehovah thy God gives thee, man or woman, who does that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah thy God, in transgressing his covenant,
3 मैले आज्ञा नगरेको अन्य देवताहरूको पछि लागेर तिनीहरूको पुजा गर्यो भने वा सूर्य, चन्द्रमा वा कुनै पनि आकाशीय पिण्डलाई ढोग्यो भने,
and has gone and served other gods, and worshiped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded,
4 र यस बारेमा तिमीहरूलाई बताइयो भने वा तिमीहरूले यस बारेमा सुन्यौ भने तिमीहरूले होसियारीसाथ अनुसन्धान गर्नू । इस्राएलमा त्यस्तो घृणित कुरो गरिएको साँचो र निश्चित ठहरियो भने तिमीहरूले गर्नुपर्ने कुरो यही हो ।
and it be told thee, and thou have heard of it, then shall thou inquire diligently. And, behold, if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel,
5 यस्तो दुष्ट काम गर्ने त्यो पुरुष वा स्त्रीलाई तिमीहरूले सहरको प्रवेशद्वारमा ल्याएर हरेक पुरुष, स्त्री र तिमीहरूले ढुङ्गाले हानेर मार्नू ।
then thou shall bring forth that man or that woman, who has done this evil thing, to thy gates, even the man or the woman, and thou shall stone them to death with stones.
6 दुई वा तिन जना साक्षीको आधारमा त्यसलाई मारिने छ । तर एक जना मात्र साक्षीको आधारमा त्यसलाई मारिनुहुँदैन । तिनीहरूलाई मार्न
At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he who is to die be put to death. He shall not be put to death at the mouth of one witness.
7 ती साक्षीहरूले पहिले आ-आफ्ना हात उठाऊन् त्यसपछि अरू सबै मानिसले आ-आफ्ना हात उठाऊन् । यसरी तिमीहरूले आफ्ना बिचबाट दुष्टतालाई हटाउने छौ ।
The hand of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So thou shall put away the evil from the midst of thee.
8 हत्या वा दुर्घटनाबाट भएको मृत्यु वा एउटा वा अर्को व्यक्तिको अधिकार वा एउटा किसिमको हानि वा अर्को किसिमको विषय वा तिमीहरूका बिचमा भएका कुनै पनि वादविवाद मिलाउन तिमीहरूलाई गार्हो भयो भने परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले आफ्नो पवित्र वासस्थानको रूपमा छान्नुहुने ठाउँमा जानू ।
If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates, then thou shall arise, and get thee up to the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose.
9 तिमीहरू लेवीका सन्तानहरू अर्थात् त्यस बेला न्यायको लागि सेवा गर्ने पुजारीहरूकहाँ जानू । तिनीहरूका सल्लाह लिनू र तिनीहरूले निर्णय सुनाउने छन् ।
And thou shall come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge who shall be in those days, and thou shall inquire. And they shall show thee the sentence of judgment.
10 परमप्रभुले आफ्नो पवित्र वासस्थानको रूपमा छान्नुहुने ठाउँमा तिमीहरूलाई दिइएको व्यवस्थालाई तिमीहरूले मान्नू ।
And thou shall do according to the tenor of the sentence which they shall show thee from that place which Jehovah shall choose. And thou shall observe to do according to all that they shall teach thee,
11 तिनीहरूले गर्न भनी तिमीहरूलाई निर्देशन दिने हरेक कुरो मान्न तिमीहरू होसियार होओ । तिनीहरूले सिकाउने नियमलाई पछ्याउनू, र तिनीहरूले दिएको निर्णयअनुसार गर्नू । तिनीहरूले बताउने कुराबाट दायाँ वा बायाँतिर नतर्कनू ।
according to the tenor of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shall do. Thou shall not turn aside from the sentence, which they shall show thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.
12 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको सामु सेवा गर्न खडा हुने पुजारी वा न्यायकर्ताको कुरा अहङ्कारी भएर नसुन्ने व्यक्ति मारिने छ । तिमीहरूले इस्राएलबाट दुष्टता हटाओ ।
And the man who does presumptuously, in not hearkening to the priest who stands to minister there before Jehovah thy God, or to the judge, even that man shall die, and thou shall put away the evil from Israel.
13 सबै मानिस यो सुनेर डराउने छन् अनि अब उसो अहङ्कारी हुने छैनन् ।
And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
14 तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुहुने देशमा आइपुगेर यसको अधिकार गरेपछि र यसमा बसोबास गर्न थालेपछि तिमीहरूले 'हाम्रा वरिपरि भएका सबै जातिले जस्तै हाम्रो शासन गर्न राजा चुन्ने छौँ' भन्यौ भने
When thou have come to the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee, and shall possess it, and shall dwell in it, and shall say, I will set a king over me like all the nations that are round about me,
15 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले चुन्नुहुने व्यक्तिलाई तिमीहरूले निश्चय नै राजाको रूपमा चुन्नू । तिमीहरूका दाजुभाइका बिचबाट नै तिमीहरूले आफ्ना लागि राजा चुन्नू । कुनै पनि परदेशीलाई आफ्नो राजा नबनाओ ।
thou shall surely set him king over thee whom Jehovah thy God shall choose. Thou shall set a king over thee from among thy brothers. Thou may not put a foreigner over thee who is not thy brother.
16 तर ती राजाले आफ्नो लागि घोडाहरूको वृद्धि नगरून् न त घोडाहरूको वृद्धिको लागि मानिसहरूलाई मिश्रमा फर्कन लगाऊन् किनकि 'तिमीहरू त्यसरी फेरि कहिल्यै नजाओ' भनी परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई भन्नुभएको छ ।
Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses, inasmuch as Jehovah has said to you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
17 तिनले आफ्ना लागि धेरै पत्नीहरू नल्याऊन् नत्रता तिनको हृदय बरालिने छ । तिनले सुन र चाँदीको थुप्रो नलगाऊन् ।
Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away. Neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
18 तिनी आफ्नो राज्यको सिंहासनमा बस्दा तिनले पुजारीहरू अर्थात् लेवीहरूको सामु राखिएको व्यवस्थाको प्रतिबाट आफ्नो लागि एक प्रति मुट्ठामा उतारून् ।
And it shall be, when he sits upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for him a copy of this law in a book, out of it before the priests the Levites,
19 त्यो मुट्ठा तिनीसितै हुनुपर्छ, र तिनले आफ्नो जीवनभरि यसलाई पढ्नुपर्छ । यसरी तिनले परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरको आदर गर्न सकून् अनि यस व्यवस्थाको सबै वचन र विधिविधान पालन गर्न सकून् ।
and it shall be with him. And he shall read in it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear Jehovah his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them,
20 तिनले आफैलाई आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूभन्दा श्रेष्ठ नठानून् र यी आज्ञाहरूबाट तर्केर दायाँ वा बायाँ नलागून् भनेर तिनले यसो गर्नुपर्छ किनकि आफ्नो राज्यमा तिनी र तिनका सन्तानहरूले इस्राएलमा लामो समयसम्म शासन गर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ ।
that his heart not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left, to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his sons, in the midst of Israel.
