व्यवस्था 31

1 मोशा गएर सारा इस्राएलीलाई यी वचन भने,

When Moses/I finished saying all that to the Israeli people,

2 “म अहिले एक सय बिस वर्ष पुगेँ । अब म भित्र बाहिर गर्न सक्दिनँ । परमप्रभुले मलाई यसो भन्‍नुभएको छ, 'तँ यर्दनपारि जाने छैनस् ।'

he/I said to them, “Now I am 120 years old. I am no longer able to go everywhere [that you go] (OR, to be your leader). Furthermore, Yahweh has told me that I will not cross the Jordan [River].

3 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर तिमीहरूभन्दा अगिअगि त्यहाँ जानुहुने छ । उहाँले तिमीहरूकै सामु यी जातिहरूलाई नष्‍ट पार्नुहुने छ, र तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई धपाउने छौ । परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभएझैँ यहोशू तिमीहरूभन्दा अगि त्यहाँ जाने छन् ।

But Yahweh our God will go ahead of you. He will [enable you to] destroy the nations that are living there, in order that you can occupy their land. Joshua will be your leader, which is what Yahweh already told me.

4 परमप्रभुले एमोरीहरूका राजा सीहोन र ओग अनि तिनहरूका देशलाई नष्‍ट पार्नुभएझैँ तिनीहरूलाई नष्‍ट पार्नुहुने छ ।

Yahweh will do to those nations what he did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amor people-group when he destroyed their armies [MTY].

5 तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूसित युद्धमा जम्काभेट गर्दा परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई तिनीहरूमाथि विजय दिनहुने छ, र मैले तिमीहरूलाई दिएका सबै आज्ञामुताबिक तिनीहरूलाई गर्नू ।

Yahweh will enable you to conquer those nations, but you must [kill all of the people of those nations, which is] what I have commanded you to do.

6 बलियो र खुबै साहसी होओ । नडराओ र तिनीहरूदेखि भयभीत नहोओ । किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर तिमीहरूसँगै जानुहुने छ । उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई छाड्नुहुने छैन, न त त्याग्‍नुहुने छ ।”

Be brave and confident. Do not be afraid of those people. [Do not forget that] it is Yahweh our God who will go with you. He will always help [LIT] you and never abandon you.”

7 मोशाले यहोशूलाई बोलाई सारा इस्राएलको सामुन्‍ने भने, “बलियो र खुबै साहसी होऊ, किनकि यी मानिसहरूलाई दिन्छु भनी परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूसित प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको देशमा तिमी यिनीहरूसँगै जाऊ । तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई यसको अधिकार गर्न दिने छौ ।

Then Moses/I summoned Joshua, and while all the Israeli people were listening, he/I said to him, “Be brave and confident. You are the one who will lead these people into the land that Yahweh promised to our ancestors that he would give to them, and you will enable them to occupy it.

8 परमप्रभु तिम्रो अगिअगि जानुहुने छ । उहाँ तिमीसँगै हुनुहुने छ । उहाँले तिमीलाई छाड्नहुने छैन, न त त्याग्‍नुहुने छ । नडराऊ, निरुत्साहित नहोऊ ।”

It is Yahweh who will go ahead of you. He will be with you. He will always help [LIT] you. He will never abandon you. So do not be afraid or dismayed.”

9 मोशाले यो व्यवस्था लेखेर लेवीका छोराहरू अर्थात् पुजारीहरूलाई दिए जसले परमप्रभुले करारको सन्दुक बोक्थे । तिनले इस्राएलका सारा धर्म-गुरुलाई पनि यसका प्रतिहरू दिए ।

Moses/I wrote down all these laws [on two scrolls] and gave [one scroll] to the priests, who carried the chest containing the Ten Commandments, and [gave the other scroll] to the Israeli elders.

10 मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भनी आज्ञा दिए, “हरेक सात वर्षको अन्त्यमा अर्थात् ऋणहरू रद्द गरिदिने समयमा, छाप्रो-वासको चाडमा,

Moses/I told them, “At the end of every seven years, at the time that all debts are canceled, [read this to the people] during the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters.

11 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले उहाँको पवित्र वासस्थानको लागि उहाँले छान्‍नुहुने ठाउँमा सारा इस्राएली उहाँको सामु देखा पर्दा तिनीहरूले सुन्‍ने गरी सारा इस्राएलीको सामु तिमीहरूले यो व्यवस्थाका वचन पढ्नू ।

Read it to all the Israeli people when they gather at the place that Yahweh chooses for them to worship him.

12 पुरुष र स्‍त्रीहरू, बालबच्‍चाहरू, तिमीहरूका सहरभित्र बस्‍ने परदेशीलगायत सबै मानिसलाई भेला गराउनू ताकि तिनीहरूले सुनेर सिक्‍न सकून् र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरलाई आदर गर्न सकून् अनि यस व्यवस्थाका वचनहरू पालन गर्न सकून् ।

Gather together everyone—men, women, children, even the foreigners [who are living] in your towns—in order that they may hear [these laws] and learn to revere Yahweh our God, and to faithfully obey everything that is written in these laws.

13 यर्दनपारि तिमीहरूले अधिकार गर्न जान लागेको देशमा बसुञ्‍जेलसम्म यो व्यवस्था नजान्‍ने तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीहरूले पनि सुनेर परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको भय मान्‍न सिकून् ।”

[If they do that], your descendants who have never known these laws will hear them and will also learn to revere Yahweh our God, during all the years that they live in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to occupy.”

14 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “हेर, तँ मर्ने दिन आउँदै छ । यहोशूलाई डाकेर भेट हुने पालमा तेरो उपस्थितिमा ले ताकि म त्यसलाई आज्ञा दिन सकूँ ।” मोशा र यहोशू भेट हुने पालमा गएर आफैलाई उपस्थित गराए ।

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Listen carefully. You will soon die. Summon Joshua, and you go to the Sacred Tent with him, in order that I may appoint him [to be the new leader].” So Joshua and Moses/I went to the Sacred Tent.

15 परमप्रभु बादलको खाँबोमा पालमा देखा पर्नुभयो । बादलको खाँबो पालको ढोकामाथि अडियो ।

There Yahweh appeared to them/us in a pillar of cloud, and that cloud was close to the door of the tent.

16 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “हेर्, तँ तेरा पिता-पुर्खाहरूसित सुत्‍ने छस् । जुन देशमा यी मानिसहरू जाँदै छन्, त्यहाँ तिनीहरूले अनौठा देवताहरूको पछि लागि आत्मिक व्यभिचार गर्ने छन् । तिनीहरूले मलाई त्याग्‍ने छन् र मैले तिनीहरूसित बाँधेको मेरो करार भङ्ग गर्ने छन् ।

Yahweh said to Moses/me, “You will soon die [EUP]. Then these people will become unfaithful [MET] to me. They will abandon me and (break/stop obeying) the agreement that I made with them. They will begin to worship the foreign/pagan gods [that are worshiped by the people] of the land that they will enter.

17 तब त्यस दिन मेरो क्रोध तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा दन्कने छ र म तिनीहरूलाई त्यागिदिने छु । म तिनीहरूबाट मेरो मुहार लुकाउने छु, र तिनीहरू नष्‍ट हुने छन् । तिनीहरूले धेरै विपत्ति र सङ्कष्‍टहरू झेल्ने छन् अनि त्यस दिन तिनीहरूले भन्‍ने छन्, 'के हाम्रा परमेश्‍वर हाम्रा बिचमा नहुनुभएकोले यी विपत्तिहरू हामीमाथि आइपरेका होइनन् र?'

When that happens, I will become very angry with them. I will abandon them [DOU] and I will no longer help them [IDM], and I will destroy them {they will be destroyed}. Many terrible things will happen to them, with the result that they will say, ‘[We are certain that] [RHQ] these things are happening to us because our God is no longer with us.’

18 तिनीहरू अन्य देवताहरूकहाँ फर्की तिनीहरूले गर्ने तिनीहरूका सबै दुष्‍ट्याइँको कारणले त्यस दिन म निश्‍चय नै तिनीहरूबाट मेरो मुहार लुकाउने छु ।

And because of all the evil things that they will have done, and [especially because] they will have started to worship other gods, I will refuse to help [IDM] them.

19 अब त्यसकारण तिमीहरूले आफ्नो निम्ति यो गीत लेखेर इस्राएलीहरूलाई सिकाओ । यसलाई कण्ठस्थ पार ताकि यो गीत इस्राएलीहरूको विरुद्धमा मेरो साक्षी होस् ।

“So, [I am going to give you] a song. Write it [on a scroll] and teach it to the Israeli people and cause them to memorize it. It will be like a witness that accuses them.

20 किनकि तिनीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूलाई दिन्छु भनी मैले प्रतिज्ञा गरेको दूध र मह बग्‍ने देशमा जब मैले तिनीहरूलाई ल्याएको हुने छु, र तिनीहरू खाएर तृप्‍त भएर मोटाएका हुने छन्, तब तिनीहरू अन्य देवताहरूकहाँ लागी तिनीहरूको सेवा गर्ने छन् र तिनीहरूले मेरो तिरस्कार गरी मेरो करार भङ्ग गर्ने छन् ।

I am about to take them into a very fertile [IDM] land, a land that I solemnly promised their ancestors that I would give to them. There they will have plenty to eat, with the result that their [stomachs] will [always] be full and they will become fat. But then they will turn to other gods and start to worship them, and they will despise me and (break/stop obeying) the agreement that I made with them.

21 जब यस जातिमाथि धेरै खराबी र सङ्कष्‍ट आइपर्ने छन्, यो गीतले तिनीहरूको सामु साक्षीको रूपमा गवाही दिने छ (किनकि यो तिनीहरूका सन्तानका मुखबाट बिर्सिने छैन) । मैले तिनीहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा गरेको देशमा तिनीहरूलाई ल्याउनुभन्दा अगावै तिनीहरूले आज रचेका योजनाहरू मलाई थाहा छ ।”

And they will experience many terrible disasters. After that happens, their descendants will never forget this song, and it will be like a witness [that says, ‘Now you know why Yahweh punished your ancestors].’ I will soon take them into the land that I vowed that I would give to them; but now, before I do that, I know what they are thinking [that they will do when they are living there].”

22 त्यसैले त्यही दिन मोशाले यो गीत लेखी इस्राएलीहरूलाई सिकाए ।

So on the day that [Yahweh gave Moses/me this song], he/I wrote it down, and he/I taught it to the Israeli people.

23 परमप्रभुले नूनका छोरा यहोशूलाई यस्तो आज्ञा दिई भन्‍नुभयो, “बलियो र खुबै साहसी होऊ । किनकि मैले इस्राएलीहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा गरेको देशमा तैँले तिनीहरूलाई ल्याउने छस्, र म तँसित हुने छु ।”

Then Yahweh (appointed/set apart) Joshua and said to him, “Be brave and confident, because you will lead the Israeli people into the land that I vowed that I would give to them. And I will be with you.”

24 मोशाले यस व्यवस्थाका वचनहरू लेखिसिद्ध्यापछि

Then Moses/I finished writing on a scroll all the laws that Yahweh had told to him/me.

25 परमप्रभुको करारको सन्दूक बोक्‍ने लेवीहरूलाई तिनले आज्ञा दिए,

Then Moses/I told the descendants of Levi, who were carrying the Sacred Chest that contained the Ten Commandments,

26 “व्यवस्थाको यस पुस्तकलाई लिएर परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको करारको सन्दुकको छेउमा राख ताकि यो तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा साक्षीको रूपमा रहोस् ।

“Take this scroll on which these laws [are written], and place it beside the Sacred Chest that contains the agreement that Yahweh our God made with you, in order that it may remain there to testify [about what Yahweh will do] to the people [if they disobey him].

27 किनकि म तिमीहरूको विद्रोह र हठ जान्दछु । हेर, आज म तिमीहरूसित जीवित छँदा नै तिमीहरू परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा विद्रोही भएका छौ । मेरो मृत्युपछि झन् कति धेरै विद्रोही हुन्छौ?

[I say this] because I know that these people are very stubborn [DOU]. They have rebelled against Yahweh all during the time that I have been [with them], and they will rebel much more after I die!

28 तिमीहरूका कुलका सबै धर्म-गुरुहरू र तिमीहरूका अधिकारीहरूलाई भेला गर ताकि तिनीहरूले सुन्‍ने गरी मैले यी वचनहरू तिनीहरूलाई बोल्न सकूँ र तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा स्वर्ग र पृथ्वीलाई साक्षी राख्‍न सकूँ ।

So gather all the elders of the tribes and your officials, in order that I can tell them the words [of this song], and request all those who are in heaven and on the earth to be witnesses to testify against these people.

29 किनकि म जान्दछु, कि मेरो मृत्युपछि तिमीहरू पूर्ण रूपमा भ्रष्‍ट भई मैले तिमीहरूलाई दिएको मार्गबाट बरालिने छौ । आगामी दिनहरूमा तिमीहरूमाथि विपत्तिहरू आइपर्ने छन् । तिमीहरूका हातका कामहरूले तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई चिढ्याई उहाँको दृष्‍टिमा दुष्‍ट कामहरू गर्ने भएकोले यसो हुने छ ।”

I say that because I know that after I die, the people will become very wicked. They will turn away from doing everything that I have commanded them to do. And in the future, because of all the evil things that they will do, they will cause Yahweh to become angry with them. And he will cause them to experience disasters.”

30 मोशाले यस गीतका शब्दहरू सुरुदेखि अन्त्यसम्म इस्राएलीहरूका सारा समुदायलाई सुनाए ।

Then, while all the Israeli people listened, Moses/I sang/recited this entire song to them:
