व्यवस्था 24

1 आफूले बिहे गरेर ल्याएकी पत्‍नीमा कुनै खोट पाएकोले पुरुषले त्यसलाई त्याग्‍न चाह्यो भने त्यसले त्यागपत्र लेखेर उसको हातमा थमाइदिएर उसलाई आफ्नो घरबाट पठाओस् ।

And if any one should take a wife, and should dwell with her, then it shall come to pass if she should not have found favour before him, because he has found some unbecoming thing in her, that he shall write for her a bill of divorcement, and give it into her hands, and he shall send her away out of his house.

2 त्यो आफ्नो घरबाट गइसकेपछि त्यो कसैकी पत्‍नी हुन सक्छे ।

And [if] she should go away and be married to another man;

3 दोस्रो पतिले पनि त्यसलाई घृणा गरी त्यागपत्र लेखी त्यसको हातमा थमाइदिएर उसलाई घरबाट पठाइदियो वा दोस्रो पतिको पनि मृत्यु भयो भने

and the last husband should hate her, and write for her a bill of divorcement; and should give it into her hands, and send her away out of his house, and the last husband should die, who took her to himself for a wife;

4 त्यसको पहिलेको पति अर्थात् उसलाई घरबाट पठाउने पतिले त्यस स्‍त्री अशुद्ध भएपछि त्यसलाई आफ्नी पत्‍नी हुनलाई नलिन पनि सक्छ । किनकि त्यसो गर्नु परमप्रभुको लागि घृणित कुरो हो । तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई सम्पत्तिको रूपमा दिन लाग्‍नुभएको देशलाई दोषी नबनाओ ।

the former husband who sent her away shall not be able to return and take her to himself for a wife, after she has been defiled; because it is an abomination before the Lord thy God, and ye shall not defile the land, which the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit.

5 भर्खरै बिहे गरेको पुरुष सेनासँगै युद्धमा नजाओस् न त जबरजस्ती उसलाई कुनै जिम्मेवारी दिइयोस् । त्यो एक वर्षसम्म घरमा रही त्यसले भर्खरै ल्याएकी पत्‍नीसित रमाओस् ।

And if any one should have recently taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall any thing be laid upon him; he shall be free in his house; for one year he shall cheer his wife whom he has taken.

6 कसैले धितोको रूपमा जाँतो वा जाँतोको माथिल्लो ढुङ्गा नलिओस् किनकि त्यसो गर्नु भनेको त्यस व्यक्तिको जीवन लिनु बराबर हो ।

Thou shalt not take for a pledge the under millstone, nor the upper millstone; for he who does so takes life for a pledge.

7 इस्राएलीहरूका बिचबाट कसैले आफ्ना दाजुभाइमध्ये एउटालाई अपहरण गरी त्यसलाई नोकरसरह व्यवहार गरी बेचिदिएको छ भने त्यो अपहरणकारी मारिनैपर्छ । यसरी तिमीहरूले तिमीहरूका बिचबाट दुष्‍टतालाई हटाउने छौ ।

And if a man should be caught stealing one of his brethren of the children of Israel, and having overcome him he should sell him, that thief shall die; so shalt thou remove that evil one from yourselves.

8 कुष्‍ठरोगको विपत्तिको बारेमा तिमीहरूले ध्यान देओ ताकि पुजारीहरू अर्थात् लेवीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई सिकाएका हरेक निर्देशनलाई तिमीहरूले होसियारीसाथ पछ्याई पालन गर्न सक । मैले तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेमुताबिक तिमीहरूले गर्नू ।

Take heed to thyself in [regard of] the plague of leprosy: thou shalt take great heed to do according to all the law, which the priests the Levites shall report to you; take heed to do, as I have charged you.

9 तिमीहरू मिश्रबाट आइरहँदा परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले मिरियमलाई के गर्नुभयो, सो सम्झ ।

Remember all that the Lord thy God did to Mariam in the way, when ye were going out of Egypt.

10 तिमीले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई कुनै किसिमको ऋण दिँदा धरौटी लिन उसको घरभित्र प्रवेश नगर ।

If thy neighbour owe thee a debt, any debt whatsoever, thou shalt not go into his house to take his pledge:

11 तिमी बाहिरै पर्ख, र तिमीले ऋण दिएको व्यक्ति धरौटी लिएर बाहिरै आओस् ।

thou shalt stand without, and the man who is in thy debt shall bring the pledge out to thee.

12 त्यो गरिब रहेछ भने त्यसको आफ्नो सम्पत्ति ठानी धरौटीसितै नसुत्‍नू ।

And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge.

13 सूर्य अस्ताउनुअगि तिमीले त्यसको धरौटी फिर्ता गरिदिनू ताकि त्यो आफ्नो ओढ्नेमा सुत्‍न सकोस् र तिमीलाई आशिष् दिन सकोस् । परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको सामु यो तिम्रो निम्ति धार्मिकता हुने छ ।

Thou shalt surely restore his pledge at sunset, and he shall sleep in his garment, and he shall bless thee; and it shall be mercy to thee before the Lord thy God.

14 तिमीहरूले गरिब र दरिद्र ज्यालादारी नोकरलाई थिचोमिचो नगर, चाहे त्यो तिमीहरूकै सहरभित्र तिमीहरूको देशमा भएको इस्राएली भाइ होस् वा परदेशी होस् ।

Thou shalt not unjustly withhold the wages of the poor and needy of thy brethren, or of the strangers who are in thy cities.

15 तिमीहरूले हरेक दिन त्यसलाई त्यसको ज्याला दिनू । सूर्य अस्ताउनुअगि यो विषय सुल्झोस् किनकि त्यो गरिब हो र यसमा नै भर पर्छ । यसो गर्नू ताकि त्यसले परमप्रभुको सामु पुकार नगरोस्, र यो तिमीहरूले गरेका पाप नबनोस् ।

Thou shalt pay him his wages the same day, the sun shall not go down upon it, because he is poor and he trusts in it; and he shall cry against thee to the Lord, and it shall be sin in thee.

16 छोराछोरीका कारणले बुबाआमालाई नमार्नू, न त बुबाआमाको कारणले छोराछोरीलाई मार्नू । बरु, हरेक मानिस आफ्नै पापको निम्तो मरोस् ।

The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, and the sons shall not be put to death for the fathers; every one shall be put to death for his own sin.

17 परदेशी वा अनाथले पाउने न्याय हरण गर्न दमन नगर । विधवाको ओढ्ने धरौटीको रूपमा नराख ।

Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of the stranger and the fatherless, and widow; thou shalt not take the widow's garment for a pledge.

18 बरु, तिमीहरू मिश्रमा कमारा थियौ र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई त्यहाँबाट छुटकारा दिनुभयो भनी याद गर्नू । त्यसकारण, यो आज्ञा पालन गर्न मैले तिमीहरूलाई निर्देशन दिएको छु ।

And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the Lord thy God redeemed thee from thence; therefore I charge thee to do this thing.

19 तिमीहरूले आफ्नो खेतमा फसलको कटनी गर्दा अन्‍नको एक बिटा बिर्सेका छौ भने त्यसलाई लिन फर्केर नजाओ । यो परदेशी, अनाथ वा विधवाको लागि होस् ताकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूका सबै काममा आशिष् दिनुभएको होस् ।

And when thou shalt have reaped corn in thy field, and shalt have forgotten a sheaf in thy field, thou shalt not return to take it; it shall be for the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works of thy hands.

20 तिमीहरूले भद्राक्षको रुखलाई हल्लाउँदा तिमीहरू फेरि हाँगाहरूमा नजाओ । यो परदेशी, अनाथ वा विधवाको लागि होस् ।

And if thou shouldest gather thine olives, thou shalt not return to collect the remainder; it shall be for the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, and thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command thee to do this thing.

21 तिमीहरूले आफ्नो दाखबारीबाट दाख बटुल्दा तिमीहरूले फेरि सोहोरसाहर नगर्नू । छाडिएको चाहिँ परदेशी, अनाथ र विधावाको लागि हुने छ ।

And when soever thou shalt gather the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean what thou hast left; it shall be for the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow:

22 तिमीहरू मिश्रमा कमारा थियौ भनी याद राख्‍नू । त्यसकारण, मैले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेको यो निर्देशन मान्‍नू ।

and thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command thee to do this thing.
