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 ।

You shall not sacrifice to the LORD your God an ox or a sheep with any defect or serious flaw, for that is detestable to the LORD your 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 a man or woman among you in one of the towns that the LORD your God gives you is found doing evil in the sight of the LORD your God by 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 going to worship other gods, bowing down to them or to the sun or moon or any of the host of heaven—which I have forbidden—

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 if it is reported and you hear about it, you must investigate it thoroughly. If the report is true and such an abomination has happened in Israel,

5 यस्तो दुष्‍ट काम गर्ने त्यो पुरुष वा स्‍त्रीलाई तिमीहरूले सहरको प्रवेशद्वारमा ल्याएर हरेक पुरुष, स्‍त्री र तिमीहरूले ढुङ्गाले हानेर मार्नू ।

you must bring out to your gates the man or woman who has done this evil thing, and you must stone that person to death.

6 दुई वा तिन जना साक्षीको आधारमा त्यसलाई मारिने छ । तर एक जना मात्र साक्षीको आधारमा त्यसलाई मारिनुहुँदैन । तिनीहरूलाई मार्न

On the testimony of two or three witnesses a man shall be put to death, but he shall not be executed on the testimony of a lone 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 hands of the witnesses shall be the first in putting him to death, and after that, the hands of all the people. So you must purge the evil from among you.

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 a case is too difficult for you to judge, whether the controversy within your gates is regarding bloodshed, lawsuits, or assaults, you must go up to the place the LORD your God will choose.

9 तिमीहरू लेवीका सन्तानहरू अर्थात् त्यस बेला न्यायको लागि सेवा गर्ने पुजारीहरूकहाँ जानू । तिनीहरूका सल्लाह लिनू र तिनीहरूले निर्णय सुनाउने छन् ।

You are to go to the Levitical priests and to the judge who presides at that time. Inquire of them, and they will give you a verdict in the case.

10 परमप्रभुले आफ्नो पवित्र वासस्थानको रूपमा छान्‍नुहुने ठाउँमा तिमीहरूलाई दिइएको व्यवस्थालाई तिमीहरूले मान्‍नू ।

You must abide by the verdict they give you at the place the LORD will choose. Be careful to do everything they instruct you,

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 terms of law they give and the verdict they proclaim. Do not turn aside to the right or to the left from the decision they declare to you.

12 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको सामु सेवा गर्न खडा हुने पुजारी वा न्यायकर्ताको कुरा अहङ्कारी भएर नसुन्‍ने व्यक्ति मारिने छ । तिमीहरूले इस्राएलबाट दुष्‍टता हटाओ ।

But the man who acts presumptuously, refusing to listen either to the priest who stands there to serve the LORD your God, or to the judge, must be put to death. You must purge the evil from Israel.

13 सबै मानिस यो सुनेर डराउने छन् अनि अब उसो अहङ्कारी हुने छैनन् ।

Then all the people will hear and be afraid, and will no longer behave arrogantly.

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 you enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you and have taken possession of it and settled in it, and you say, “Let us set a king over us like all the nations around us,”

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 ।

you are to appoint over yourselves the king whom the LORD your God shall choose. Appoint a king from among your brothers; you are not to set over yourselves a foreigner who is not one of your brothers.

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 ।

But the king must not acquire many horses for himself or send the people back to Egypt to acquire more horses, for the LORD has said, ‘You are never to go back that way again.’

17 तिनले आफ्ना लागि धेरै पत्‍नीहरू नल्याऊन् नत्रता तिनको हृदय बरालिने छ । तिनले सुन र चाँदीको थुप्रो नलगाऊन् ।

He must not take many wives for himself, lest his heart go astray. He must not accumulate for himself large amounts of silver and gold.

18 तिनी आफ्नो राज्यको सिंहासनमा बस्दा तिनले पुजारीहरू अर्थात् लेवीहरूको सामु राखिएको व्यवस्थाको प्रतिबाट आफ्नो लागि एक प्रति मुट्ठामा उतारून् ।

When he is seated on his royal throne, he must write for himself a copy of this instruction on a scroll in the presence of the Levitical priests.

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 ।

It is to remain with him, and he is to read from it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to fear the LORD his God by carefully observing all the words of this instruction and these statutes.

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 ।

Then his heart will not be exalted above his countrymen, and he will not turn aside from the commandment, to the right or to the left, in order that he and his sons may reign many years over his kingdom in Israel.
