< व्यवस्था 20 >
1 तिमीहरू आफ्ना शत्रुहरूको विरुद्धमा युद्धमा जाँदा तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूको भन्दा धेरै घोडा, रथ र मानिसहरू देख्यौ भने तिनीहरूदेखि नडराओ । किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर तिमीहरूसितै हुनुहुन्छ जसले तिमीहरूलाई मिश्र देशबाट निकालेर ल्याउनुभयो ।
When thou go forth to battle against thine enemies, and see horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, thou shall not be afraid of them, for Jehovah thy God is with thee, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
2 तिमीहरू युद्धमा जानै लाग्दा पुजारी नजिक आएर मानिसहरूलाई उसले यसो भन्नुपर्छ,
And it shall be, when ye draw near to the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people,
3 'हे इस्राएली हो, सुन । तिमीहरू आफ्ना शत्रुको विरुद्धमा युद्धमा जान लागेका छौ । तिमीहरूका ह्रदय विचलत नहोऊन् । नडराओ, नकाम । तिनीहरूदेखि भयभीत नहोओ ।
and shall say to them, Hear, O Israel, ye draw near this day to battle against your enemies. Let not your heart faint. Fear not, nor tremble, neither be ye frightened at them.
4 किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर नै तिमीहरूका शत्रुहरूको विरुद्धमा लडी तिमीहरूलाई बचाउन तिमीहरूको अगिअगि जाँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।'
For Jehovah your God is he who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
5 अधिकारीहरूले मानिसहरूलाई यसो भनून्, 'के घर निर्माण गरेर त्यसलाई अर्पण गर्न नपाएको यहाँ कोही छ? त्यो आफ्नो घरमा फर्केर जाओस् ताकि त्यो युद्धमा मर्नु नपरोस् र अर्कोले त्यसको घर अर्पण नगरोस् ।
And the officers shall speak to the people, saying, What man is there who has built a new house, and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it.
6 के दाखबारी लगाएर यसको फल खान नपाउने यहाँ कोही छ? त्यो घरमा जाओस् र युद्धमा मर्नु नपरोस् अनि अर्कोले त्यसलाई उपभोग गर्न नपाओस् ।
And what man is there who has planted a vineyard, and has not used the fruit of it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man use the fruit of it.
7 के मगनी भएर बिहे नभएको यहाँ कोही मानिस छ? त्यो घरमा जाओस् ताकि त्यो युद्धमा मर्नु नपरोस् र त्यसलाई अर्कोले बिहे गर्न नपाओस् ।'
And what man is there who has betrothed a wife, and has not taken her? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.
8 यसबाहेक अधिकारीहरूले मानिसहरूलाई यसो भनून्, 'के यहाँ कोही डरपोक र कातर छ? त्यो फर्केर आफ्नो घरमा जाओस् ताकि त्यसको भाइको हृदय त्यसको झैँ शिथिल नहोस् ।'
And the officers shall speak further to the people, and they shall say, What man is there who is fearful and faint-hearted? Let him go and return to his house, lest his brother's heart melt as his heart.
9 अधिकारीहरूले मानिसहरूसित बोलिसकेपछि तिनीहरूले उनीहरूमाथि सेनानायकहरू नियुक्त गरून् ।
And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking to the people, that they shall appoint captains of armies at the head of the people.
10 कुनै सहरलाई आक्रमण गर्न तिमीहरू नजिक पुग्दा ती मानिसहरूसित शान्तिको प्रस्ताव राख्नू ।
When thou draw near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace to it.
11 तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूको प्रस्तावलाई स्वीकार गरी तिमीहरूलाई सहरमा स्वागत गरे भने त्यस सहरमा भएका सबै मानिसलाई बेगार काममा लगाउनू र तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूको सेवा गरून् ।
And it shall be, if it makes to thee an answer of peace, and opens to thee, then it shall be, that all the people that are found in it shall become tributary to thee, and shall serve thee.
12 तर तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूसित कुनै शान्ति सम्झौता गर्नुको साटो तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्न आए भने तब तिमीहरूले सहरलाई घेरा हाल्नू,
And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shall besiege it.
13 र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई विजय दिई तिमीहरूको नियन्त्रणमा ल्याउनुहुँदा तिमीहरूले त्यस सहरको हरेक व्यक्तिलाई मार्नू ।
And when Jehovah thy God delivers it into thy hand, thou shall smite every male of it with the edge of the sword,
14 तर स्त्री, बालबच्चा, गाईवस्तु र सहरमा भएका हरेक थोक लुटको मालको रूपमा आफ्नो लागि लैजानू । परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई तिमीहरूका शत्रुहरूबाट दिनुभएको लुटको माल तिमीहरूले उपभोग गर्नू ।
but the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil of it, thou shall take for a prey to thyself. And thou shall eat the spoil of thine enemies, which Jehovah thy God has given thee.
15 तिमीहरूबाट टाढा भएका सबै सहरलाई मात्र तिमीहरूले यसो गर्नू, तिमीहरूले यी जातिहरूका सहरहरूलाई भने त्यसो नगर्नू ।
Thus thou shall do to all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.
16 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई सम्पत्तिको रूपमा दिनुहुने यी जातिहरूको सहरहरूमा भने तिमीहरूले सास फेर्ने कसैलाई जीवित नराख्नू ।
But of the cities of these peoples, that Jehovah thy God gives thee for an inheritance, thou shall save alive nothing that breathes,
17 बरु, परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ तिमीहरूले हित्ती, एमोरी, कनानी, परिज्जी, हिव्वी र यबूसीहरूलाई पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट गरिदिनू ।
but thou shall utterly destroy them-the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite-as Jehovah thy God has commanded thee,
18 तिनीहरूले आफ्ना देवताहरूसित गरेका तिनीहरूका घृणित मार्गहरू तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई नसिकाऊन् भन्नाका लागि यसो गर्नू । तिनीहरूको मार्ग पछ्यायौ भने तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरका विरुद्धमा पाप गर्ने छौ ।
that they not teach you to do after all their abominations, which they have done to their gods, so ye would sin against Jehovah your God.
19 कुनै सहरलाई कब्जा गर्न तिमीहरूले त्यसलाई लामो समयसम्म घेर्दा तिमीहरूले बञ्चरोले यसका रुखहरू नकाट्नू । किनकि तिमीहरूले तीबाट खान सक्छौ । त्यसैले, तिनलाई नकाट । किनकि के जङ्गलका रुखहरू जाति हुन् जसलाई तिमीहरू घेरा हाल्छौ?
When thou shall besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shall not destroy the trees of it by wielding an axe against them, for thou may eat of them. And thou shall not cut them down, for is the tree of the field a man, that it should be besieged by thee?
20 फल दिने रुखहरू होइनन् भनी तिमीहरूले चिनेका रुखहरूलाई मात्र तिमीहरूले काटेर नष्ट गर्नू । तिमीहरूसित युद्ध गर्ने सहर पराजित नभएसम्म घेरा हाल्ने काममा ती प्रयोग गर्न सक्छौ ।
Only the trees of which thou know that they are not trees for food, thou shall destroy and cut them down. And thou shall build bulwarks against the city that makes war with thee, until it falls.
