< 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, who are Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, will have no portion nor inheritance with Israel; they must eat the offerings of Yahweh made by fire as their inheritance.
2 आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूका बिचमा तिनीहरूको कुनै अंश नहोस् । तिनीहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा गरिएअनुसार परमप्रभु नै तिनीहरूका अंश हुनुहुन्छ ।
They must have no inheritance among their brothers; Yahweh is their inheritance, as he said to them.
3 गोरु वा भेडा बलिदान गर्ने मानिसहरूबाट पुजारीहरूले पाउने भाग यही होः कुम, दुईवटा गाला र आन्द्रा-भुँडी ।
This is the share given to the priests, given to them from the people who offer a sacrifice, whether it be an oxen or a sheep: the shoulder, the two cheeks, and the inner parts.
4 तिमीहरूको अन्न, नयाँ मद्य, तेलको पहिलो फलसाथै तिमीहरूको भेडाको पहिलो ऊन तिमीहरूले पुजारीलाई दिनू ।
The firstfruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, you must give him.
5 किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले परमप्रभुको नाउँमा सेवा गर्न त्यो र त्यसका छोराहरूलाई सदाको लागि चुन्नुभएको छ ।
For Yahweh your God has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand to serve in the name of Yahweh, him and his sons forever.
6 इस्राएलको कुनै पनि सहरमा बसेको कुनै एउटा लेवीले आफ्नो सारा हृदयले इच्छा गरेर परमप्रभुले छान्नुहुने ठाउँमा आयो भने
If a Levite comes from any of your towns out of all Israel from where he is living, and desires with all his soul to come to the place Yahweh will choose,
7 परमप्रभुको सामु खडा हुने त्यसका सबै लेवी दाजुभाइले जस्तै गरी त्यसले परमप्रभु त्यसका परमेश्वरको नाउँमा सेवा गरोस् ।
then he must serve in the name of Yahweh his God as all his brothers the Levites do, who stand there before Yahweh.
8 त्यसको आफ्नो परिवारको सम्पतिको बिक्रीबाट आएको अतिरिक्त त्यसले पनि खानको लागि समान हिस्सा पाउनुपर्छ ।
They must have similar portions to eat, besides of what comes of the sale of his family's inheritance.
9 जब तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिन लाग्नुभएको देशमा आउँछौ तब तिमीहरूले ती जातिहरूका घृणित कुराहरूको देखासिकी गर्न नसिक्नू ।
When you have come into the land that Yahweh your God is giving you, you must not learn to observe 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 must not be found among you anyone who sacrifices his son or his daughter in the fire, anyone who uses divination or tells fortunes, or reads signs found in a cup, or engages in witchcraft,
11 मोहनी लगाउने, आत्मासित सल्लाह लिने वा भाग्य बताउने वा मरेकाहरूका आत्मासित कुरा गर्ने कोही पनि नपाइयोस् ।
any charmer, anyone who conjurs up spirits, or one who casts spells, or who talks with spirits 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 whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh; it is because of these abominations that Yahweh your God is driving them out from before you.
13 तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको सामु निष्खोट हुनुपर्छ ।
You must be blameless before Yahweh your 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 that you will dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery and divination; but as for you, Yahweh your God has not allowed you to do so.
15 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूका बिचबाट तिमीहरूका दाजुभाइबाट मजस्तै एक जना अगमवक्ता खड गर्नुहुने छ । तिनको कुरा सुन्नू ।
Yahweh your God will raise up for you a prophet from among you, one of your brothers, like me. 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 ।'
This is what you asked from Yahweh your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, saying, 'Let us not hear again the voice of Yahweh our God, nor see this great fire anymore, or we will die.'
17 परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, 'तिनीहरूले भनेका कुरा ठिक छ ।
Yahweh said to me, 'What they have said is good.
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 will raise up a prophet for them from among their brothers, just like you. I will put my words in his mouth, and he will speak to them all that I command him.
19 त्यसले मेरो नाउँमा बोल्ने मेरा वचन नसुन्ने कोही पनि मारिने छ ।
It will happen that if anyone does not listen to the words of mine that he speaks in my name, I 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 speaks a word arrogantly in my name, a word that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that very prophet must die.'
21 तिमीहरूले आ-आफ्ना हृदयमा सोधौला, 'परमप्रभुले बोल्नुभएको वचन होइन भनेर हामीले कसरी थाहा पाउने?'
This is what you must say in your heart: 'How will we recognize a message that Yahweh has not spoken?'
22 परमप्रभुको नाउँमा बोल्ने अगमवक्ताले बोल्दा तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुको सन्देश थाहा पाउने छौ ।
You will recognize a message that Yahweh has spoken when a prophet speaks in the name of Yahweh. If that thing does not occur nor happen, then that is something that Yahweh has not spoken and the prophet has spoken it arrogantly, and you must not be afraid of him.
