व्यवस्था 29

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

These are the things that the Israelis were required to do to keep the agreement that Yahweh was making with them. Moses/I commanded them to keep this agreement [when they/we were] in the Moab region [on the east side of the Jordan River]. This was in addition to the agreement that Yahweh had made with them/us at Sinai [Mountain].

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 ।

Moses/I summoned all the Israeli people and said to them, “You saw [SYN] for yourselves what Yahweh did to the king of Egypt and to his officials and to his entire country.

3 तिमीहरूका आँखाले डरलाग्दो दुःखकष्‍ट, चिन्ह र आश्‍चर्यहरू देख्यौ ।

You [SYN] saw all the plagues [that Yahweh caused them to experience], and all the various miracles [DOU] [that Yahweh performed].

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

But until now, Yahweh has not enabled you to understand [the meaning of] all that you have seen and heard.

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

For 40 years Yahweh has led you while you traveled/walked through the desert. During that time, your clothes and your sandals have not worn out.

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 have bread to eat or wine or other fermented/strong drinks to drink, but Yahweh [took care of you], in order that you would know that he is 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 when we came to this place, Sihon, the king who ruled in Heshbon [city], and Og, the king who ruled the Bashan [region], came [with their armies] to attack us, but we defeated them.

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

We took/conquered their land and divided it among the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh.

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

“So faithfully keep all of this agreement, in order that you will be successful in everything that you do.

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

Today all of us are standing in the presence of Yahweh our God. The leaders of all our tribes, our elders, our officials, all you Israeli men,

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

your wives, your children, and the foreigners who live among you and cut wood for you and carry water for you, are here.

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

[We are here] today to promise to keep this solemn agreement with Yahweh.

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 ।

[He is making this agreement with you] in order to confirm that you are his people, and that he is your God. This agreement is what he promised you, and which is what he vowed to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

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

This agreement is not only with you.

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

He is making this agreement with us [who are here today] and also with our descendants who are not yet born.

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

“You remember [the things that our ancestors suffered] in Egypt, and how they traveled through the land that belonged to other nations [after they came out of Egypt].

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

In those countries they saw those disgusting idols made of wood and stone and [decorated with] silver and gold.

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 be sure that no man or woman or family or tribe that is here [today] turns away from Yahweh our God, to worship/serve the gods of those nations. Doing that would be like a root [of a plant that would grow] among you and bear poisonous and bitter fruit [MET].

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 ।

“Be sure that no one here today who hears this agreement thinks, ‘Everything will go well with me, even if I stubbornly do what I want to.’ If you are stubborn like that, the result will be that Yahweh will eventually get rid of all of you, both good people and evil people [MET].

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 ।

Yahweh will not forgive anyone who is [stubborn] like that. Instead, he will be extremely angry [DOU] with that person, and that person will experience all the curses that I have told you about, until Yahweh gets rid of that person and his family [IDM].

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

From all the tribes of Israel, Yahweh will separate that individual. Yahweh will cause him to experience all the disasters that I have listed in the agreement that states the things that Yahweh will do to curse [those who disobey] the laws [that I have written] in this scroll/book.

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 ।

“In the future, your descendants and people from other countries will see the disasters and the illnesses that Yahweh has caused to happen to you.

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

They will see that all your land has been ruined by burning sulfur and salt. Nothing will have been planted. Not even weeds will grow there. Your land will resemble Sodom and Gomorrah [cities], and Admah and Zeboiim [cities], which Yahweh destroyed when he was very angry [DOU] [with the people who lived there].

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

And the people from those other nations will ask, ‘Why did Yahweh do this to this land? Why was he very angry [with the people who lived here]?’

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

“Then other people will reply, ‘It is because they refused to keep the agreement that Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped], had made with them when he brought them out 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 ।

Instead, they served/worshiped other gods that they had never worshiped before, gods that Yahweh had told them not to worship.

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

So, Yahweh became very angry with the Israeli people in this land, and he caused them to experience all the disasters that their leader warned them about.

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

Yahweh became extremely angry [DOU] with them and took/yanked them [MET] out of their land and banished them into another land, and they are still there.’

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 ।

“[There are some] things that Yahweh our God has (kept secret/not revealed), but he has revealed his laws to us, and [he expects] us and our descendants to obey them forever.”
