व्यवस्था 18
1 पुजारीहरू अर्थात् लेवीहरू र सबै लेवी कुलको इस्राएलीहरूसित कुनै हिस्सा वा अंश हुने छैन । तिनीहरूले आफ्नो अंशको रूपमा आगोद्वारा चढाइएका परमप्रभुका बलिहरू खाऊन् ।
The Levitical priests, in fact the whole tribe of Levi, will not have a share in the land allotment with the other Israelites. They are to eat from the food offerings presented to the Lord—that is what they are entitled to receive.
2 आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूका बिचमा तिनीहरूको कुनै अंश नहोस् । तिनीहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा गरिएअनुसार परमप्रभु नै तिनीहरूका अंश हुनुहुन्छ ।
While they don't own land among the other tribes, the Lord takes care of them, as he promised.
3 गोरु वा भेडा बलिदान गर्ने मानिसहरूबाट पुजारीहरूले पाउने भाग यही होः कुम, दुईवटा गाला र आन्द्रा-भुँडी ।
The priests' share of a sacrifice of a bull or a sheep that is brought by the people is as follows. The priests are to be given the shoulder, the jaw, and the insides.
4 तिमीहरूको अन्न, नयाँ मद्य, तेलको पहिलो फलसाथै तिमीहरूको भेडाको पहिलो ऊन तिमीहरूले पुजारीलाई दिनू ।
You are to provide them with the firstfruits of your grain, new wine, and olive oil, as well as the first wool sheared from your flock.
5 किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले परमप्रभुको नाउँमा सेवा गर्न त्यो र त्यसका छोराहरूलाई सदाको लागि चुन्नुभएको छ ।
For the Lord your God has chosen Levi and his descendants from all your tribes to stand before him and serve in his name forever.
6 इस्राएलको कुनै पनि सहरमा बसेको कुनै एउटा लेवीले आफ्नो सारा हृदयले इच्छा गरेर परमप्रभुले छान्नुहुने ठाउँमा आयो भने
If a Levite is convinced he should move from any Israelite town and goes to the place the Lord will choose,
7 परमप्रभुको सामु खडा हुने त्यसका सबै लेवी दाजुभाइले जस्तै गरी त्यसले परमप्रभु त्यसका परमेश्वरको नाउँमा सेवा गरोस् ।
then he shall be allowed to serve in the name of the Lord his God like all his fellow Levites who stand there in service before the Lord.
8 त्यसको आफ्नो परिवारको सम्पतिको बिक्रीबाट आएको अतिरिक्त त्यसले पनि खानको लागि समान हिस्सा पाउनुपर्छ ।
They will all receive the same food allowances, despite him having received money from the sale of his father's property.
9 जब तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिन लाग्नुभएको देशमा आउँछौ तब तिमीहरूले ती जातिहरूका घृणित कुराहरूको देखासिकी गर्न नसिक्नू ।
Once you enter the country the Lord your God is giving you, don't copy the offensive ways of the nations there.
10 तिमीहरूका बिचमा आफ्नो छोरा या छोरीलाई आगोमा बलि गर्ने, शकून-अपशकून बताउने, जोखना हेर्ने, वा गिलासमा भएको चिन्हहरू पढ्ने वा टुनामुना गर्ने,
There should be no one who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, practices divination or fortune-telling, uses magic or sorcery,
11 मोहनी लगाउने, आत्मासित सल्लाह लिने वा भाग्य बताउने वा मरेकाहरूका आत्मासित कुरा गर्ने कोही पनि नपाइयोस् ।
practices witchcraft, visits a medium or spiritist, or communicates with the dead. Anyone does such things offends the Lord.
12 किनकि जसले यी कुराहरू गर्छ, त्यो परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा घृणित हुन्छ । यी घृणित कामहरूको कारणले गर्दा नै परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूकै सामु तिनीहरूलाई धपाउँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।
It's because of these offensive things that the Lord your God is driving out the nations before you.
13 तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको सामु निष्खोट हुनुपर्छ ।
You are to be innocent of such things in the presence of the Lord your God.
14 किनकि तिमीहरूले हराउने जातिहरूले जादुगरी, शकून-अपशकूनको अभ्यास गर्नेहरूको कुरा सुन्छन् । तर परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई त्यसो गर्न अनुमति दिनुभएको छैन ।
Even though these nations, whose land you will occupy, listen to magicians and fortune-tellers, the Lord your God forbids you to do so.
15 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूका बिचबाट तिमीहरूका दाजुभाइबाट मजस्तै एक जना अगमवक्ता खड गर्नुहुने छ । तिनको कुरा सुन्नू ।
The Lord your God will send you a prophet like me from your people. You must listen to him.
16 होरेबमा सभाको दिनमा तिमीहरूले यसो भन्दै परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरलाई बिन्ती चढायौ, 'हामीले फेरि परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरको आवाज सुन्न नपरोस् न त उहाँको यो डरलाग्दो आगो देख्न परोस् नत्रता हामी मर्ने छौँ ।'
Remember what you told the Lord your God at Horeb when you were all assembled there. You said, “Please don't let us go on hearing the Lord our God speak to us, or see this terrifying fire anymore! Otherwise we're going to die!”
17 परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, 'तिनीहरूले भनेका कुरा ठिक छ ।
Then the Lord told me, “They are right in what they're saying.
18 म तिनीहरूकै दाजुभाइहरूका बिचबाट तँजस्तै एक जना अगमवक्ता खडा गर्ने छु । म त्यसको मुखमा मेरा वचन हालिदिने छु र त्यसले मैले तँलाई आज्ञा गरेका सबै वचन बोल्ने छ ।
I'm going to send them a prophet like you from their people. I will give him my messages, and he will tell them everything I order him to say.
19 त्यसले मेरो नाउँमा बोल्ने मेरा वचन नसुन्ने कोही पनि मारिने छ ।
I will deal with anyone who does not listen to my message that the prophet speaks in my name.
20 तर मेरो नाउँमा अहङ्कारी भएर मैले आज्ञा नगरेको वचन बोल्ने वा अन्य देवताहरूको नाउँमा बोल्ने अगमवक्ता मारिनैपर्छ ।'
However, if any prophet claims to be delivering a message in my name that I have not ordered him to give, or speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must be executed.”
21 तिमीहरूले आ-आफ्ना हृदयमा सोधौला, 'परमप्रभुले बोल्नुभएको वचन होइन भनेर हामीले कसरी थाहा पाउने?'
You may be wondering, “How can we be sure that a message hasn't come from the Lord?”
22 परमप्रभुको नाउँमा बोल्ने अगमवक्ताले बोल्दा तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुको सन्देश थाहा पाउने छौ ।
When a prophet speaks in the Lord's name and what he says doesn't happen or come true, then that is a not a message from the Lord. The prophet has spoken with contempt for the Lord. Don't be intimidated by him.
