व्यवस्था 23

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

He that is wounded in the stones, or has his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

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

A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

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

An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD 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 with water in the way, when you came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor 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 ।

Nevertheless the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam; but the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because the LORD your God loved you.

6 तिमीहरूका जीवनभर तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूका शान्ति वा उन्‍नतिको खोजी नगर्नू ।

You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity 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; for 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 ।

The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation.

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

When the host goes forth against your enemies, then 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 be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chances him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:

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

But it shall be, when evening comes on, he shall wash himself with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again.

12 छाउनीबाहिर तिमीहरूका लागि एउटा ठाउँ हुनुपर्छ ।

You shall have a place also without the camp, where you shall go forth abroad:

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

And you shall have a paddle on your weapon; and it shall be, when you will ease yourself abroad, you shall dig therewith, and shall turn back and cover that which comes from you:

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 ।

For the LORD your God walks in the middle of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you; therefore shall your camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in you, and turn away from you.

15 आफ्नो मालिकबाट भागेर आएको कमारालाई त्यसको मालिककहाँ नफर्काउनू ।

You shall not deliver to his master the servant which is escaped from his master to you:

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

He shall dwell with you, even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of your gates, where it likes him best: you shall not oppress him.

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

There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite 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 whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD your God for any vow: for even both these are 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 on usury to your brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent on usury:

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 ।

To a stranger you may lend on usury; but to your brother you shall not lend on usury: that the LORD your God may bless you in all that you set your hand to in the land where you go to possess 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 ।

When you shall vow a vow to the LORD your God, you shall not slack to pay it: for the LORD your God will surely require it of you; and it would be sin in you.

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

But if you shall forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in you.

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

That which is gone out of your lips you shall keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as you have vowed to the LORD your God, which you have promised with your mouth.

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

When you come into your neighbor’s vineyard, then you may eat grapes your fill at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your vessel.

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

When you come into the standing corn of your neighbor, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not move a sickle to your neighbor’s standing corn.
