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 priests, the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel: the fire-offerings of the Lord, and his inheritance shall they consume.
2 आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूका बिचमा तिनीहरूको कुनै अंश नहोस् । तिनीहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा गरिएअनुसार परमप्रभु नै तिनीहरूका अंश हुनुहुन्छ ।
But any inheritance shall he not have among his brethren: the Lord is his inheritance, as he hath spoken unto him.
3 गोरु वा भेडा बलिदान गर्ने मानिसहरूबाट पुजारीहरूले पाउने भाग यही होः कुम, दुईवटा गाला र आन्द्रा-भुँडी ।
And this shall be the priests' due from the people, from them that slay an animal, whether it be ox or lamb: then shall each one give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
4 तिमीहरूको अन्न, नयाँ मद्य, तेलको पहिलो फलसाथै तिमीहरूको भेडाको पहिलो ऊन तिमीहरूले पुजारीलाई दिनू ।
The first-fruit of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thy oil, and the first shearing of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
5 किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले परमप्रभुको नाउँमा सेवा गर्न त्यो र त्यसका छोराहरूलाई सदाको लागि चुन्नुभएको छ ।
For him the Lord thy God hath chosen out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the Lord, he and his sons all the days.
6 इस्राएलको कुनै पनि सहरमा बसेको कुनै एउटा लेवीले आफ्नो सारा हृदयले इच्छा गरेर परमप्रभुले छान्नुहुने ठाउँमा आयो भने
And if the Levite come from any one of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourneth, and come with all the longing of his soul unto the place which the Lord will choose:
7 परमप्रभुको सामु खडा हुने त्यसका सबै लेवी दाजुभाइले जस्तै गरी त्यसले परमप्रभु त्यसका परमेश्वरको नाउँमा सेवा गरोस् ।
Then can he minister in the name of the Lord his God, like all his brethren the Levites, who stand there before the Lord.
8 त्यसको आफ्नो परिवारको सम्पतिको बिक्रीबाट आएको अतिरिक्त त्यसले पनि खानको लागि समान हिस्सा पाउनुपर्छ ।
They shall have like portions to eat, besides that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.
9 जब तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिन लाग्नुभएको देशमा आउँछौ तब तिमीहरूले ती जातिहरूका घृणित कुराहरूको देखासिकी गर्न नसिक्नू ।
When thou comest into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
10 तिमीहरूका बिचमा आफ्नो छोरा या छोरीलाई आगोमा बलि गर्ने, शकून-अपशकून बताउने, जोखना हेर्ने, वा गिलासमा भएको चिन्हहरू पढ्ने वा टुनामुना गर्ने,
There shall not be found among thee any one who causeth his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who useth divination, one who is an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a conjurer.
11 मोहनी लगाउने, आत्मासित सल्लाह लिने वा भाग्य बताउने वा मरेकाहरूका आत्मासित कुरा गर्ने कोही पनि नपाइयोस् ।
Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or who inquireth of the dead.
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 ।
For an abomination unto the Lord are all that do these things; and on account of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
13 तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको सामु निष्खोट हुनुपर्छ ।
Perfect shalt thou be with the Lord thy God.
14 किनकि तिमीहरूले हराउने जातिहरूले जादुगरी, शकून-अपशकूनको अभ्यास गर्नेहरूको कुरा सुन्छन् । तर परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई त्यसो गर्न अनुमति दिनुभएको छैन ।
For these nations, which thou art about to dispossess, hearken unto observers of times, and unto diviners; but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not assigned the like unto thee.
15 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूका बिचबाट तिमीहरूका दाजुभाइबाट मजस्तै एक जना अगमवक्ता खड गर्नुहुने छ । तिनको कुरा सुन्नू ।
A prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me, will the Lord thy God raise up unto thee; unto him shall ye hearken:
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 ।'
According to all that thou didst desire of the Lord thy God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, saying, I wish no more to hear the voice of the Lord my God, and this great fire I wish not to see again, that I die not.
17 परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, 'तिनीहरूले भनेका कुरा ठिक छ ।
And the Lord said unto me, They have done well in what they have spoken.
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 ।
A prophet will I raise up unto them from among their brethren, like unto thee; and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I may command him.
19 त्यसले मेरो नाउँमा बोल्ने मेरा वचन नसुन्ने कोही पनि मारिने छ ।
And it shall come to pass, that if there be a man who will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him.
20 तर मेरो नाउँमा अहङ्कारी भएर मैले आज्ञा नगरेको वचन बोल्ने वा अन्य देवताहरूको नाउँमा बोल्ने अगमवक्ता मारिनैपर्छ ।'
But the prophet, who may presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who may speak in the name of other Gods even that prophet shall die.
21 तिमीहरूले आ-आफ्ना हृदयमा सोधौला, 'परमप्रभुले बोल्नुभएको वचन होइन भनेर हामीले कसरी थाहा पाउने?'
And if thou shouldst say in thy heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken?
22 परमप्रभुको नाउँमा बोल्ने अगमवक्ताले बोल्दा तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुको सन्देश थाहा पाउने छौ ।
That which the prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, and the thing do not happen and come not to pass— this is the word which the Lord hath not spoken; in presumption hath the prophet spoken it; thou shalt not be afraid of him.
