व्यवस्था 23

1 लिङ्ग किचिएको वा काटिएको मानिसलाई परमप्रभुको सभामा प्रवेश गर्न निदनू ।

He that is fractured or mutilated in his private parts shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord.

2 कुनै अवैध बच्‍चा परमप्रभुको सभामा प्रवेश गर्नुहुँदैन । त्यसको दस पुस्तासम्म त्यसको कोही सन्तान पनि परमप्रभुको सभामा प्रवेश गर्नुहुँदैन ।

[One born] of a harlot shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord.

3 अम्मोनी वा मोआबी परमप्रभुको सभामा प्रवेश गर्नुहुँदैन । त्यसको दस पुस्तासम्म त्यसको कोही सन्तान पनि परमप्रभुको सभामा प्रवेश गर्नुहुँदैन ।

The Ammanite and Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord, even until the tenth generation he shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord, even for ever:

4 किनकि तिमीहरू मिश्रबाट आउँदा बाटोमा तिनीहरूले रोटी र पानी लिएर तिमीहरूलाई भेट्न आएका थिएनन्, र तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा श्राप दिन तिनीहरूले पतोरमा बस्‍ने बओरका छोरा बालामलाई भाडामा लिएका थिए ।

because they met you not with bread and water by the way, when you went out of Egypt; and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor of Mesopotamia to curse you.

5 तर परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले बालामको कुरा सुन्‍नुभएन । बरु, तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले श्रापलाई आशिष्‌मा परिणत गरिदिनुभयो किनकि तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई प्रेम गर्नुहुन्थ्यो ।

But the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam; and the Lord your God changed the curses into blessings, because the Lord your God loved you.

6 तिमीहरूका जीवनभर तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूका शान्ति वा उन्‍नतिको खोजी नगर्नू ।

You shall not speak peaceably or profitably to them all your days for ever.

7 तिमीहरूले कुनै एदोमीलाई तिरस्कार नगर्नू । कुनै मिश्रीलाई घृणा नगर्नू किनकि तिमीहरू त्यसको देशमा परदेशी थियौ ।

You shall not abhor an Edomite, because he is your brother; you shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you were a stranger in his land.

8 तिनीहरूबाट जन्मेका तेस्रो पुस्ताका सन्तानहरू परमप्रभुको सभामा पस्‍न सक्छन् ।

If sons be born to them, in the third generation they shall enter into the assembly of the Lord.

9 तिमीहरू आफ्ना शत्रुहरूको विरुद्धमा युद्धमा जाँदा तिमीहरूले आ-आफूलाई दुष्‍ट कुराहरूबाट अलग राख ।

And if you should go forth to engage with your enemies, then you shall keep you from every wicked thing.

10 तिमीहरूका बिचमा रातम कुनै पुरुष स्वप्‍न-दोषको कारणले गर्दा अशुद्ध भएको छ भने त्यो सेनाको छाउनीबाट बाहिर जाओस् र छाउनीमा फर्केर नआओस् ।

If there should be in you a man who is not clean by reason of his issue by night, then he shall go forth out of the camp, and he shall not enter into the camp.

11 साँझ परेपछि त्यसले पानीले नुहाओस् । सूर्य अस्ताएपछि त्यो छाउनीमा आओस् ।

And it shall come to pass towards evening he shall wash his body with water, and when the sun has gone down, he shall go into the camp.

12 छाउनीबाहिर तिमीहरूका लागि एउटा ठाउँ हुनुपर्छ ।

And you shall have a place outside of the camp, and you shall go out there,

13 खन्‍नका लागि तिमीहरूसित सामग्रीहरू हुनुपर्छ । दिसा बसिसकेपछि खाल्डो खनेर दिसा पुरिदिनू ।

and you shall have a trowel on your girdle; and it shall come to pass when you would relieve yourself abroad, that you shall dig with it, and shall bring back the earth and cover your nuisance.

14 किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई विजय दिन र तिमीहरूका शत्रुहरूलाई तिमीहरूका हातमा दिन उहाँ तिमीहरूको छाउनीको बिचमा हिँडडुल गर्नुहुन्छ । त्यसकारण, तिमीहरूको छाउनी पवित्र हुनुपर्छ ताकि तिमीहरूका बिचमा कुनै अशुद्ध कुरा देखेर उहाँ तिमीहरूका बिचबाट तर्केर नजानुभएको होस् ।

Because the Lord your God walks in your camp to deliver you, and to give up your enemy before your face; and your camp shall be holy, and there shall not appear in you a disgraceful thing, and [so] he shall turn away from you.

15 आफ्नो मालिकबाट भागेर आएको कमारालाई त्यसको मालिककहाँ नफर्काउनू ।

You shall not deliver a servant to his master, who [coming] from his master attaches himself to you.

16 त्यसले जुनसुकै सहर छाने तापनि त्यसलाई तिमीहरूसँगै बस्‍न दिनू । त्यसलाई थिचोमिचो नगर्नू ।

He shall dwell with you, he shall dwell amongst you where he shall please; you shall not afflict him.

17 इस्राएलीका छोरीहरू र छोराहरूका बिचमा कसैले पनि मन्दिरको वेश्यावृत्तिमा काम नगरोस् ।

There shall not be a harlot of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be a fornicator of the sons of Israel; there shall not be an idolatress of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be an initiated person of the sons of Israel.

18 तिमीहरूले कुनै भाकलको निम्ति वेश्यावृत्तिको ज्याला वा कुकुरको ज्याला परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको भवनमा नल्याउनू । किनकि यी दुवै परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरका लागि घृणित कुराहरू हुन् ।

You shall not bring the hire of a harlot, nor the price of a dog into the house of the Lord your God, for any vow; because even both are an abomination to the Lord your God.

19 ब्याज प्राप्‍त गर्न सकिने रुपियाँ-पैसा, भोजन वा अन्य कुनै पनि कुरो आफ्नो इस्राएली भाइलाई ऋणस्वरूप दिँदा त्यसबाट ब्याज नलिनू ।

You shall not lend to your brother on usury of silver, or usury of meat, or usury of any thing which you may lend out.

20 परदेशीबाट भने तिमीहरूले ब्याज लिन सक्छौ । तर आफ्नो इस्राएली भाइबाट भने तिमीहरूले ब्याज लिनुहुँदैन । यसरी परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई तिमीहरूले अधिकार गर्न लागेको देशमा तिमीहरूको हात परेको हरेक थोकमा आशिष् दिनुभएको होस् ।

You may lend on usury to a stranger, but to your brother you shall not lend on usury; that the Lord your God may bless you in all your works upon the land, into which you are entering to inherit it.

21 तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरलाई भाकल गर्दा यसलाई पुरा गर्न विलम्ब नगर किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूबाट यो चाहनुहुन्छ । भाकल पुरा नगर्नु पाप हो ।

And if you will vow a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not delay to pay it; for the Lord your God will surely require it of you, and [otherwise] it shall be sin in you.

22 तर भाकलै गरेका छैनौ भने यो तिमीहरूका लागि पाप हुँदैन ।

But if you should be unwilling to vow, it is not sin in you.

23 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरलाई तिमीहरूले भाकल गरेअनुसार वा तिमीहरूका मुखले स्वैच्छापूर्वक प्रतिज्ञा गरेअनुसार तिमीहरूका मुखबाट निस्केको कुरा पुरा गर्नुपर्छ ।

You shall observe the words that proceed from between your lips; and as you have vowed a gift to the Lord God, [so] shall you do that which you have spoken with your mouth.

24 तिमीहरू आफ्नो छिमेकीको दाखबारीमा जाँदा इच्छा लागेअनुसार चाहेजति दाख खान सक्छौ, तर आफ्नो टोकरीमा भने नहाल ।

And if you should go into the corn field of your neighbour, then you may gather the ears with your hands; but you shall not put the sickle to your neighbour's corn.

25 तिमीहरू आफ्नो छिमेकीको अन्‍न पाकेको खेतमा जाँदा तिमीहरूले आफ्ना हातले अन्‍नका बाला टिप्‍न सक्छौ, तर पाकेको बालीमा हँसिया नलगाओ ।

And if you should go into the vineyard of your neighbour, you shall eat grapes sufficient to satisfy your desire; but you may not put them into a vessel.
