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 ।

When a man takes a wife and marries her, if she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some unsuitable thing in her, then he must write her a certificate of divorce, put it into her hand, and send her out of his house.

2 त्यो आफ्नो घरबाट गइसकेपछि त्यो कसैकी पत्‍नी हुन सक्छे ।

When she has gone out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.

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

If the second husband hates her and writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it into her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the second husband dies, the man who took her to be his 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 ।

then her former husband, the one who had first sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she has become impure; for that would be an abomination to Yahweh. You must not cause the land to become guilty, the land that Yahweh your God is giving you as an inheritance.

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 ।

When a man takes a new wife, he will not go to war with the army, neither may he be commanded to go on any forced duty; he will be free to be at home for one year and will 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 ।

No man may take a mill or an upper millstone as a pledge, for that would be taking a person's life as 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 ।

If a man is found kidnapping any of his brothers from among the people of Israel, and treats him as a slave and sells him, that thief must die; and you will remove the evil from among you.

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 regarding any plague of leprosy, so that you carefully observe and follow every instruction given to you which the priests, the Levites, teach you; as I commanded them, so you will act.

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

Call to mind what Yahweh your God did to Miriam as you were coming out of Egypt.

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

When you make your neighbor any kind of loan, you must not go into his house to fetch his pledge.

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

You will stand outside, and the man to whom you have lent will bring the pledge outside to you.

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

If he is a poor man, you must not sleep with his pledge in your possession.

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 ।

You must surely restore to him the pledge by the time the sun goes down, so that he may sleep in his cloak and bless you; it will be righteousness for you before Yahweh your God.

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

You must not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is of your fellow Israelites, or of the foreigners who are in your land within your city gates;

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 ।

Each day you must give him his wage; the sun must not go down on this unsettled matter, for he is poor and is counting on it. Do this so that he does not cry out against you to Yahweh, and so that it not be a sin that you have committed.

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

The parents must not be put to death for their children, neither must the children be put to death for their parents. Instead, everyone must be put to death for his own sin.

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

You must not use force to take away the justice that is due the foreigner or the fatherless, nor take the widow's cloak as 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 ।

Instead, you must call to mind that you were a slave in Egypt, and that Yahweh your God rescued you from there. Therefore I instruct you to obey this command.

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 ।

When you reap your harvest in your field, and if you have forgotten an omer of grain in the field, you must not go back to get it; it must be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, or for the widow, so that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

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

When you shake your olive tree, you must not go over the branches again; it will be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, or for the widow.

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

When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you must not glean it again. What is left over will be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

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

You must call to mind that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I instruct you to obey this command.
