व्यवस्था 32

1 हे आकाश, सुन्, र मलाई बोल्न दे । पृथ्वीले मेरा मुखका वचन सुनोस् ।

Heaven, listen as I speak; Earth, hear what I'm saying.

2 मेरो शिक्षा झरीको थोपाझैँ खसोस्, मेरो बोली शीतझैँ झरोस्, कलिलो घाँसमाथि सिमसिमे पानीझैँ, र बिरुवाहरूमाथि झरीझैँ बर्सोस् ।

May my teaching fall gently like the rain; may my words drop lightly like the dew, like soft rain on new grass, like spring showers on growing plants.

3 किनकि म परमप्रभुको नाउँको घोषणा गर्ने छु, र हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरको महान्‌ता वर्णन गर्ने छु ।

I will praise the Lord's character. Tell everyone how great he is!

4 उहाँ चट्टान हुनुहुन्छ, उहाँको काम सिद्ध छ । किनकि उहाँका सबै मार्ग न्यायोचित छन् । उहाँ अधर्म नभएको विश्‍वासयोग्य परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँ न्यायी र सत्य हुनुहुन्छ ।

He is the Rock. Everything he does is perfect, for all his ways are right. He is the trustworthy God who is never unjust; he is fair and honest.

5 तिनीहरूले उहाँको विरुद्धमा भ्रष्‍टतापूर्वक काम गरेका छन् । तिनीहरू उहाँका छोराछोरी होइनन् । यो तिनीहरूको अपमान हो । तिनीहरू बाङ्गो र टेडो पुस्ता हुन् ।

His children have acted immorally towards him; so they are no longer his children because of their sinful stains. They are a perverse and corrupt people.

6 हे मूर्ख र बुद्धि नभएका मानिसहरू हो, के तिमीहरूले यसरी नै परमेश्‍वरलाई कृतज्ञता देखाउँछौ? के उहाँ नै तिमीहरूलाई सृजनुहुने तिमीहरूका पिता हुनुहुन्‍न र? उहाँले नै तिमीहरूलाई बनाउनुभयो, र स्थापित गर्नुभयो ।

Is this any way to repay the Lord, you foolish, stupid people? Isn't he your Father who created you? Isn't he the one who turned you into a nation and made you strong?

7 प्राचीन समयलाई सम्झ, धेरै पहिलेका वर्षहरूको बारेमा सोच । तिमीहरूका पितालाई बिन्ती चढाओ र उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई देखाउनुहुने छ, तिमीहरूका धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई उहाँले बताउनुहुने छ ।

Remember the olden days; think about times long ago. God and ask your father, and he will explain them to you. Talk to your elders, and they will let you know.

8 जब सर्वोच्‍चले जाति-जातिहरूलाई तिनीहरूका अंश दिनुभयो, जब उहाँले सबै मानव-जातिलाई विभाजन गर्नुभयो, र जाति-जातिहरूका सिमाना छुट्ट्याइदिनुभयो, उहाँले तिनीहरूका देवताहरूका सङ्ख्या पनि तोकिदिनुभयो ।

The Most High gave the nations their lands when he divided the human race; he fixed their borders depending on their gods.

9 किनकि परमप्रभुको हिस्सा नै उहाँका जाति हुन् । याकूब उहाँको अलग गरिएको अंश हो ।

But the Lord's people are his, Israel is his chosen one.

10 उहाँले तिनलाई मरुभूमिमा फेला पार्नुभयो, र निर्जन-स्थान र गर्जने उजाड-स्थानमा । उहाँले तिनको रक्षा गर्नुभयो, र तिनको वास्ता गर्नुभयो । उहाँले तिनलाई आँखाको नानीझैँ सुरक्षा दिनुभयो ।

He found you in a desert land, in a desolate wasteland of whirlwinds. He protected you; he cared for you; he looked after you as the one he loved the most.

11 आफ्नो गुँडलाई रक्षा गर्ने र आफ्ना बचेराहरूमाथि पखेटा फटफटाउने गरुडले झैँ परमप्रभुले आफ्ना पखेटा फैलाई तिनीहरूलाई थाम्‍नुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई आफ्ना प्वाँखमा बोक्‍नुभयो ।

Like an eagle watching over its nest, hovering over its chicks, he spread his wings and picked you up and carried you along.

12 परमप्रभुले मात्रै तिनीहरूलाई अगुवाइ गर्नुभयो । कुनै विदेशी देवता उहाँसित थिएन ।

The Lord was the only one who led you; no foreign god was with him.

13 उहाँले तिनलाई पृथ्वीका अग्ला-अग्ला ठाउँहरूमा सवार गराउनुभयो, र बारीको फल खुवाउनुभयो । उहाँले तिनलाई चट्टानबाट निस्केको मह र दर्शन-ढुङ्गाको भीरको तेलले पालन-पोषण गर्नुभयो ।

The Lord gave you the high country to rule, and fed you with the crops of the field to eat. He sustained you with honey from the rock and olive oil from the flinty crag,

14 तिनले गाई-गोरुको बथान र भेडा-बाख्राको बथानाबाट दूध र दही अनि मोटा-मोटा थुमा अनि बाशानका भेडाहरू र बाख्राहरूको बोसोसाथै सर्वोत्तम गहुँ खाए । तिमीहरूले फिँज उठेको दाखरस पियौ ।

with yogurt from the herd and milk from the flock, with the fat of lambs, with rams from Bashan, and goats, along with the best wheat. You drank the wine made from the best grapes.

15 तर मोटाएर यशूरूनले लात हान्यो । तिमी अति धेरै मोटायौ र भरपेट खायौ । तिनले आफैलाई सृजनुहुने परमेश्‍वरलाई त्यागे, र आफ्नो उद्धारको चट्टानलाई इन्कार गरे ।

But Israel, you grew fat and rebelled—fat, overweight, and bloated with food. You abandoned the God who made you and despised the Rock of your salvation.

16 तिनीहरूले आफ्ना अनौठा देवताहरूद्वारा परमप्रभुलाई डाही तुल्याए ।

You made the Lord jealous by worshiping foreign gods; you made him angry with such disgusting practices.

17 तिनीहरूका घृणित कामहरूले तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई क्रोधित तुल्याए । तिनीहरूले भूतात्माहरूलाई बलि चढाए जो देव होइनन्, जसलाई तिनीहरूले चिनेका थिएनन्, जो भर्खरै देखा परेका थिए, जोदेखि तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरू डराउँदैनथ्ये ।

You offered sacrifices to demons instead of God, to gods you didn't know anything about, to brand-new gods that your forefathers didn't worship.

18 तिमीहरूले ती चट्टानलाई त्याग्यौ जो तिमीहरूका पिता बन्‍नुभयो, र तिमीहरूलाई जन्म दिने परमेश्‍वरलाई भुल्यौ ।

You dismissed the Rock who fathered you; you forgot the God who gave birth to you.

19 परमप्रभुले यो देख्‍नुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई इन्कार गर्नुभयो किनकि उहाँका छोराछोरीहरूले उहाँलाई चिढ्याए । उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो,

The Lord rejected them when he saw this; his sons and daughters made him angry.

20 “म तिनीहरूबाट मेरो मुहार लुकाउने छु, र तिनीहरूको अन्त्य कस्तो हुने छ भनी हेर्ने छु किनकि तिनीहरू भ्रष्‍ट पुस्ता हुन्, अविश्‍वासयोग्य सन्तान हुन् ।

He said: “I will turn away from them. Then I'll see what happens to them! They are a perverse people, unfaithful children.

21 जे ईश्‍वर होइन, त्यसको कारण तिनीहरूले मलाई डाही तुल्याएका छन्, र तिनीहरूका बेकम्मा कामहरूद्वारा मलाई रिस उठाएका छन् । जो जाति नै होइनन्, तिनीहरूद्वारा म तिनीहरूलाई डाही तुल्याउने छु । एउटा मूर्ख जातिद्वारा म तिनीहरूलाई क्रोधित तुल्याउने छु ।

They have made me jealous by worshiping things that are not God; they have made me angry with their useless idols. So I will make them jealous using a people that aren't really a nation; I will make them angry using ignorant foreigners.

22 किनकि मेरो रिसद्वारा आगो सल्केको छ र त्यसले तल्लो पातालसम्मै जलाउँछ । यसले पृथ्वी र यसको फसललाई भस्म पार्दै छ । यसले पहाडहरूका जगमा आगो लगाउँदै छ । (Sheol h7585)

My anger has been set on fire, burning down to the depths of the grave, destroying the earth and all it produces, even setting fire to the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)

23 म तिनीहरूमाथि विपत्तिको थुप्रो ल्याउने छु । म तिनीहरूमा मेरा सबै काँड चलाउने छु ।

I will pile disasters on them; I will use up my arrows shooting at them.

24 तिनीहरू भोकले नष्‍ट हुने छन्, र प्रचण्ड ताप र डरलाग्दो विनाशले भस्म हुने छन् । भुइँमा घस्रने जन्तुहरूको विषसहित म तिनीहरूकहाँ जङ्गली जनावरहरूको दाह्रा, पठाउने छु ।

They will waste away from hunger, destroyed by disease and poisonous plague. I will send wild animals to bite them with their teeth, the fangs of snakes that slide along the ground.

25 बाहिर तरवारले तिनीहरूलाई मार्ने छ, र सुत्‍ने कोठाभित्र त्रासले तिनीहरूलाई नष्‍ट गर्ने छ । यसले युवा र कन्या दुवै अनि दूधे-बालक र कपाल फुलेको वृद्धलाई नष्‍ट पार्ने छ ।

Outside in the streets the sword kills their children, inside their homes, they die from fright; young men and young women, children and old people.

26 म तिनीहरूलाई टाढा-टाढासम्म तितर-बितर पारिदिने छु र मानव-जातिको बिचबाट तिनीहरूको सम्झना मेटिदिने छु भनी मैले भनेँ ।

I would have told them I was going to cut them to pieces and wipe out even the memory of them;

27 म शत्रुको खिसीदेखि डराइनँ, र तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूले गल्ती गरेर भन्लान्, 'हाम्रो हात माथि उचालिएको छ ।' मैले यी सबै गरेको भए सक्थेँ ।

but I didn't want to hear their conquerors jeering, their enemies misunderstanding what had happened and saying, ‘We won all by ourselves, the Lord didn't have anything to do with it.’

28 किनकि इस्राएल बुद्धि नभएको जाति हो, र तिनीहरूमा कुनै समझशक्ति छैन ।

Israel is a nation that doesn't think straight; none of them understand anything.

29 ओहो, तिनीहरू बुद्धिमानी भएर तिनीहरूले यो बुझेका भए त तिनीहरूले तिनीहरूको अन्तलाई विचार गर्नेथिए!

How I wish they were wise, so they could understand it; they would recognize what was going to happen to them.

30 तिनीहरूका चट्टानले तिनीहरूलाई नबेचेको भए र परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई नत्याग्‍नुभएको भए कसरी एक जनाले एक हजारलाई वा दुई जनाले दस हजारलाई खेद्‍न सक्थ्यो?

How on earth could one man chase after a thousand, or two make ten thousand run away, unless their Rock of protection had sold them, unless the Lord had surrendered them?

31 किनकि हाम्रा शत्रुहरूका चट्टान हाम्रो चट्टानजस्तो छैन जुन कुरा हाम्रै शत्रुहरूले पनि स्वीकार गर्छन् ।

The rock they rely on is not like our Rock, as even our enemies admit.

32 किनकि तिनीहरूको अङ्गुरको लहरा सदोमबाट र गमोराका बारीहरूबाट आएको हो ।

But their vine comes from the vine of Sodom, from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poisonous; they are bitter bunches.

33 तिनीहरूका दाखहरू विषालु दाखहरू हुन् । तिनीहरूका झुप्पाहरू तिता छन् । तिनीहरूको दाखमद्य सर्पहरूको विष हो र कडा गोमनको विष हो ।

Their wine is the poison of serpents, deadly snake venom.

34 के यो मैले साँचेर राखेको र मेरो भण्डारणमा छाप लगाएर राखेको योजना होइन र?

I've stored this all up; it's sealed in my vaults.

35 बदला लिने काम मेरो हो र तिनीहरूको खुट्टा चिप्लिएको ठिक समयमा म नै प्रतिशोध लिने छु ।

I make sure justice is done, I will repay. The time is coming when they will fall, their day of disaster is approaching, their doom will soon arrive.”

36 किनकि तिनीहरूको लागि विपत्तिको दिन नजिकै छ, र तिनीहरूमाथि आइपर्ने कुराहरू हतारमा आउने छन् ।” किनकि परमप्रभुले उहाँको जातिलाई न्याय दिनुहुने छ, र उहाँले आफ्ना सेवकहरूमा दया देखाउनुहुने छ । तिनीहरूको शक्ति गएको छ, र कमारा वा फुक्‍का कोही बाँकी छैन भनी उहाँले देख्‍नुहुने छ ।

The Lord is going to vindicate his people; he will be merciful to his servants when he sees that they have no strength left, and that everyone is gone, whether slave or free.

37 तब उहाँले भन्‍नुहुने छ, “तिनीहरूका देवताहरू कहाँ छन्? तिनीहरूले शरण लिने चट्टान कहाँ छ?

He'll ask, “What happened to your gods, the rock where your went for protection?

38 तिनीहरूका बलिहरूको बोसो खाने र तिनीहरूका अर्घबलि पिउने देवताहरू खोई? ती उठेर तिनीहरूको मदत गरून् । तिनीहरू नै तिनीहरूको सुरक्षा होऊन् ।

Who ate the fat of your sacrifices and drank the wine of your drink offerings? Have them come and help you; have them come and protect you!

39 अब हेर, म नै परमेश्‍वर हुँ, र मबाहेक अर्को कुनै ईश्‍वर छैन । म नै मार्छु, र जीवित पार्छु । म नै चोट पुर्‍याउँछु, र निको पार्छु । तिमीहरूलाई मेरो शक्तिबाट बचाउने कोही छैन ।

Listen! I am the only God! There is no other God except me! I bring death, and I give life; I wound, and I heal. No one can be rescued from my power.

40 किनकि मेरो हात स्वर्गतर्फ उठाई म भन्छु, 'जस्तो म सदा जीवित रहन्छु, त्यसरी नै म काम गर्ने छु ।

I hold up my hand to heaven and solemnly declare on my eternal life,

41 जब म मेरो चम्कने तरवारमा शान लगाउँछु, र जब मेरा हातले न्याय ल्याउन सुरु गर्छ, तब म मेरा शत्रुहरूमाथि प्रतिशोध ल्याउने छु, र मलाई अवहेलना गर्नेहरूलाई म बदला लिने छु ।

when I sharpen my shining sword and pick it up to execute judgment, I will repay my enemies and punish those who hate me as they deserve.

42 म मेरा काँडहरूलाई रगतले मत्याउने छु, र मेरो तरवारले मारिएकाहरू र निर्वासितहरूको रगतसितै मासु र शत्रुहरूका शिर खाने छ ।”

My arrows will become drunk with blood, as my sword eats flesh; the blood of those who are killed and captured, the heads of the enemy's leaders.”

43 हे जातिहरू हो, परमेश्‍वरका मानिसहरूसँगै आनन्द मनाओ, किनकि उहाँले आफ्ना दासहरूको रगतको बदला लिनुहुने छ । उहाँले आफ्ना शत्रुहरूमाथि प्रतिशोध लिनहुने छ, र उहाँले आफ्नो देशसाथै आफ्नो जातिको निम्ति प्रायश्‍चित्त गर्नुहुने छ ।

Celebrate with him! Let all God's angels worship him! Celebrate, foreigners, with his people; because he will pay back those who killed his children. He will punish his enemies, and repay those who hate him; he will purify his land and his people.

44 मोशा र नूनका छोरा यहोशू आएर यस गीतका सबै शब्द मानिसहरूले सुन्‍ने गरी पाठ गरे ।

Then Moses came with Joshua son of Nun and recited all the words of this song for the people to hear.

45 तब मोशाले यी सबै शब्द सारा इस्राएलीलाई भनी सिद्ध्याए ।

After Moses finished reciting the whole song to all the Israelites,

46 तिनले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “आज मैले तिमीहरूलाई साक्षी दिएका सबै वचन मनमा राख ताकि तिमीहरूका आफ्ना छोराछोरीहरूलाई यो व्यवस्थाका सबै वचन पालन गर्न आज्ञा दिन सक ।

he told them, “Think about all these words I've declared to you today, so you can order your children to follow carefully everything in this law.

47 यो तिमीहरूको जीवन भएकोले र यसद्वारा नै तिमीहरूले यर्दनपारि अधिकार गर्न लागेको देशमा तिमीहरूको आयु लम्बिने भएकोले यो तिमीहरूका लागि व्यर्थको विषय होइन ।”

Don't treat these words as trivial because they are your life, and by them you will have long lives in the country that you will own after crossing the Jordan.”

48 त्यही दिन परमप्रभुले मोशालाई यसो भन्‍नुभयो,

That same day the Lord told Moses,

49 “यरीहोको सामु मोआब देशमा भएको अबारीम पहाडको नेबो डाँडामाथि उक्लेर जा । मैले इस्राएलीहरूलाई तिनीहरूको अधिकारस्वरूप दिन लागेको कनान देशलाई हेर् ।

“Climb up into the Abarim mountains to Mount Nebo, in the land of Moab opposite Jericho, and look over the country of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites for them to own.

50 जसरी तेरो दाजु हारून होर पर्वतमा मरेर आफ्ना मानिसहरूसित मिल्न गए त्यसरी नै तँ उक्लेर गएको डाँडामा तँ मर्ने छस्, र तँ तेरा मानिसहरूसित मिल्न जाने छस् ।

There on the mountain you've climbed, you will die and join your people in death, in the same way your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and joined his people.

51 जीनको उजाड-स्थानको कादेशमा मेरीबाको पानीमा इस्राएलीहरूका बिचमा तँ मेरो सामु अविश्‍वासयोग्य भएकोले र इस्राएलीहरूका बिचमा तैँले मलाई आदर र इज्‍जत नगरेकोले तँमाथि यो आइपर्ने छ ।

For there at the waters of Meribah-kadesh in the Desert of Zin, you both were unfaithful to me. You misrepresented me to the Israelites when you didn't treat me as holy in their presence.

52 तेरो सामु भएको देशलाई तैँले देख्‍ने छस्, तर मैले इस्राएलीहरूलाई दिने लागेको देशभित्र तँ प्रवेश गर्ने छैनस् ।”

Though you will see the country that I am giving the Israelites from a distance, you won't enter it.”
