व्यवस्था 29

1 होरेबमा परमप्रभुले इस्राएलीहरूसित बाँध्‍नुभएको करारबाहेक मोआब देशमा परमप्रभुले मोशामार्फत इस्राएलीहरूलाई दिनुभएका वचनहरू यी नै हुन् ।

These are the words of the covenant which the Lord instructed Moses to form with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, beside that covenant which he struck with them at Horeb.

2 मोशाले सारा इस्राएलीलाई डाकेर भने, “मिश्र देशमा फारो, तिनका सबै अधिकारी र तिनका सबै देशमा परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूका सामु गर्नुभएको हरेक कुरा तिमीहरूले देखेका छौ ।

And Moses called all of Israel, and he said to them: “You have seen all the things that the Lord has done in your sight in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to his entire land:

3 तिमीहरूका आँखाले डरलाग्दो दुःखकष्‍ट, चिन्ह र आश्‍चर्यहरू देख्यौ ।

the great trials, which your eyes have seen, those immense signs and wonders.

4 तर आजको दिनसम्म परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई जान्‍ने ह्रदय, देख्‍ने आँखा वा सुन्‍ने कान दिनुभएको छैन ।

But the Lord has not given you an understanding heart, and seeing eyes, and ears that are able to hear, even to this present day.

5 मैले तिमीहरूलाई चालिस वर्षसम्म उजाड-स्थानमा अगुवाइ गरेको छु । तिमीहरूका लुगा फाटिएन, न त तिमीहरूका जुत्ता च्यातिए ।

He led you for forty years through the desert. Your garments have not been worn out, nor have the shoes on your feet been consumed by age.

6 तिमीहरूले अरू कुनै रोटी खाएनौ, न त तिमीहरूले कुनै अरू मद्य पियौ ताकि म नै परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुँ भनी तिमीहरूले जान्‍न सक ।

You did not eat bread, nor did you drink wine or liquor, so that you would know that I am the Lord your God.

7 तिमीहरू यस ठाउँमा आउँदा हेश्बोनका राजा सीहोन र बाशानका राजा ओग तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्न आए र हामीले तिनीहरूलाई परास्त गर्‍यौँ ।

And you arrived at this place. And Sihon, the king of Heshbon, and Og, the king of Bashan, went out to meet us in battle. And we struck them down.

8 हामीले तिनीहरूको देश कब्जा गरी रूबेनीहरू, गादीहरू र मनेश्शेको आधा कुललाई पैतृक सम्पत्तिको रूपमा दियौँ ।

And we took their land and delivered it as a possession to Ruben and to Gad, and to half of the tribe of Manasseh.

9 त्यसकारण, तिमीहरूले गर्ने हरेक कुरामा तिमीहरूको उन्‍नति होस् भनेर यस करारका वचनहरू पालग गर र मान ।

Therefore, keep the words of this covenant, and fulfill them, so that you may understand all that you are doing.

10 आज तिमीहरूका नायक, कुल, धर्म-गुरु, अधिकृत र इस्राएलका सबै मानिस परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको सामु खडा छौ ।

Today, you all stand in the sight of the Lord your God: your leaders, and tribes, and those greater by birth, and teachers, all the people of Israel,

11 तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीहरू, पत्‍नीहरू, तिमीहरूको छाउनीमा भएका परदेशी, दाउरे र पनेरे सबै उहाँको सामु खडा छौ ।

your children and wives, and the new arrival who dwells with you in the camp, aside from those who cut wood, and those who bring water,

12 आज तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको करारभित्र प्रवेश गर्न र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूसित खान लाग्‍नुभएको शपथभित्र प्रवेश गर्दै छौ

so that you may cross into the covenant of the Lord your God, and into the oath which the Lord your God strikes with you today.

13 ताकि आज उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई आफ्नै जाति बनाउनुभएको होस् र उहाँले भन्‍नुभएझैँ उहाँले तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरू अब्राहाम, इसहाक र याकूबसित प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएअनुसार उहाँ तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर होऊन् ।

So shall he raise you up as a people to himself, and so shall he be your God, just as he has spoken to you, and just as he swore to your fathers: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

14 किनकि मैले यो करार र यो शपथ आज परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको सामु

And I am not forming this covenant and confirm these oaths with you alone,

15 यहाँ उभिनेहरूसित मात्र नभएर आज हामीसित यहाँ नहुनेहरूसित पनि बाँध्दै छु ।

but with all those who are present as well as those who are absent.

16 हामी मिश्रमा कसरी बस्यौँ र जाति-जातिहरूका बिचबाट हामी कसरी आयौँ भनी तिमीहरू जान्दछौ ।

For you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we passed through the midst of nations. And when passing through them,

17 तिनीहरूका बिचमा भएका काठ र ढुङ्गा, चाँदी र सुनले बनेका घिनलाग्दा मूर्तिहरूलाई तिमीहरूले देखेका छौ ।

you saw their abominations and filth, that is, their idols of wood and of stone, of silver and of gold, which they worshipped,

18 तिमीहरूका बिचमा भएका कुनै पुरुष, स्‍त्री, घराना, कुलको ह्रदय परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरबाट तर्केर गई ती जातिहरूका देवताहरूको पुजा गर्न पछि नलागोस् भन्‍ने कुरामा निश्‍चित होओ । तिमीहरूका बिचमा यस्तो तितो विष उत्पन्‍न गर्ने कोही नहोस् ।

so that there would not be among you man or woman, family or tribe, whose heart has been turned away this day from the Lord our God, so as to go and serve the gods of those nations. For then there would be among you a root springing forth gall and bitterness.

19 त्यस्तो व्यक्तिले यो श्रापका वचनहरू सुन्दा त्यसले आफैलाई आशिष् दिई आफ्नो ह्रदयमा यसो भन्छ, 'म मेरो ह्रदयको हठीपनामा हिँडे तापनि मसित शान्ति हुने छ ।' यसले सुक्खा जमिनसँगै भिजेको जमिनलाई पनि नष्‍ट गर्ने छ ।

And if he were to hear the words of this oath, he would bless himself in his own heart saying: ‘There will be peace for me, and I will walk in the depravity of my heart.’ And so, the one who is inebriated would consume the one who is thirsty.

20 परमप्रभुले त्यसलाई क्षमा दिनुहुने छैन, बरु परमप्रभुको क्रोध र उहाँको डाह त्यो मानिसको विरुद्धमा दन्कने छ अनि यस पुस्तकमा लेखिएका सबै श्राप त्यसमाथि आउने छन् । यसरी परमप्रभुले आकाशमुनिबाट त्यसको नाउँ मेटिदिनुहुने छ ।

But the Lord would not ignore him. Instead, at that time, his fury and zealousness would be very greatly enflamed against that man, and all the curses which have been written in this volume would settle upon him. And the Lord would abolish his name from under heaven,

21 व्यवस्थाको यस पुस्तकमा लेखिएका करारका सबै श्रापअनुसार परमप्रभुले त्यसलाई इस्राएलका सबै कुलबाट विनाशको निम्ति अलग गर्नुहुने छ ।

and consume him unto perdition out of all the tribes of Israel, according to the curses which are contained in the book of this law and in the covenant.

22 तिमीहरूपछि आउने पुस्ता अर्थात् तिमीहरूका सन्तान र सुदूर देशबाट आउने परदेशीले यस देशमा आइपरेका विपत्तिहरू र परमप्रभुले ल्याउनुभएका विपत्तिहरू देख्दा तिनीहरूले यस बारेमा भन्‍ने छन् ।

And the subsequent generation would speak out, along with the sons who will be born afterward. And the sojourners, who will arrive from far away, will see the plagues of that land and the infirmities with which the Lord will have afflicted it,

23 परमप्रभुले आफ्नो रिस र क्रोधमा सदोम र गमोरा, अदमा र सबोयीमलाई नष्‍ट पार्नुभएझैँ समस्त देशमा गन्धक र नून जलेको खाक मात्र हुने छ ।

having burned it with sulphur and molten salt, so that it can no longer be sown. And certainly no greenery would spring up, as in the example of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord overturned with his wrath and fury.

24 अन्य जातिहरूसँगै तिनीहरूले भन्‍ने छन्, 'किन परमप्रभुले यस देशलाई यसो गर्नुभएको? यो डरलाग्दो रिसको मतलब के हो?'

And so, all the nations would say: ‘Why has the Lord acted this way toward this land? What is this immense wrath of his fury?’

25 मानिसहरूले भन्‍ने छन्, 'तिनीहरूले मिश्रबाट ल्याउनुहुने परमप्रभु तिनीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिनीहरूसित बाँध्‍नुभएको करार त्यागेकाले गर्दा यसो भएको हो ।

And they will respond: ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, which he formed with their fathers, when he led them away from the land of Egypt.

26 तिनीहरू आफूले नचिनेका र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई नदिनुभएको अन्य देवताहरूको पछि लागी तिनीहरूको सेवा गरेकाले र तिनीहरूका सामु निहुरेकाले गर्दा यसो भएको हो ।

And they have served foreign gods, and adored them, though they did not know them, and though they had not been allotted to them.

27 त्यसकारण, यस पुस्तकमा लेखिएका सबै श्राप आउने गरी परमप्रभुको रिस यस देशको विरुद्धमा दन्किएको हो ।

For this reason, the fury of the Lord was enraged against this land, so as to lead over it all the curses which have been written in this volume.

28 परमप्रभुले आफ्नो रिस, क्रोध र भयानक कोपमा तिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूको देशबाट जरैदेखि उखेली अर्को देशमा फ्याँक्‍नुभएको छ, जस्तो आज छ ।'

And he has cast them out of their own land, with anger and fury, and with a very great indignation, and he has thrown them into a strange land, just as has been proven this day.’

29 गुप्‍त कुराहरू परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरका मात्र हुन् । तर प्रकट भएका कुराहरू सदाको निम्ति हाम्रा र हाम्रा सन्तानहरूका हुन् ताकि हामीले यस व्यवस्थाका सबै वचन पालन गर्न सकूँ ।

These hidden things of the Lord our God have been revealed to us and to our sons in perpetuity, so that we may accomplish all the words of this law.”
