व्यवस्था 4

1 अब हे इस्राएली हो, मैले तिमीहरूलाई सिकाउनै लागेका विधिविधानहरूलाई सुन । तिनको पालन गरी तिमीहरू जीवित होऊ र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिन लाग्‍नुभएको देशमा गएर त्यसलाई अधिकार गर ।

“And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and to the judgments which I am teaching you to do, so that you live, and have gone in, and possessed the land which YHWH God of your fathers is giving to you.

2 मैले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेका वचनहरूमा नथप्‍नू न त तीबाट घटाउनू ताकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिन लाग्‍नुभएका आज्ञाहरू तिमीहरूले पालन गर्न सक ।

You do not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor diminish from it, to keep the commands of your God YHWH which I am commanding you.

3 बाल-पोरको कारणले परमप्रभुले के गर्नुभयो, त्यो तिमीहरूका आँखाले देखेका छन् । पोरको बाल देवतालाई पछ्याउने सबै मानिसलाई परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूकै बिचबाट नष्‍ट पारिदिनुभयो ।

Your eyes are seeing that which YHWH has done in Ba‘al-Peor, for every man who has gone after Ba‘al-Peor, your God YHWH has destroyed him from your midst;

4 तर परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरसित टाँसिनेहरूमध्ये हरेक आज जीवित छ ।

and you who are cleaving to your God YHWH [are] alive today—all of you.

5 हेर, परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्‍वरले मलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ मैले तिमीहरूलाई विधिविधानहरू सिकाएको छु, कि तिमीहरूले अधिकार गर्न लागिरहेको देशमा तिमीहरू प्रवेश गर्दा तिमीहरूले ती पालन गर्नुपर्छ ।

See, I have taught you statutes and judgments, as my God YHWH has commanded me, to do so in the midst of the land to where you are going in to possess it;

6 त्यसकारण ती मान र पालन गर । किनकि जाति-जातिहरूको दृष्‍टिमा यो तिमीहरूको बुद्धि र समझशक्ति हुने छ जसले यी सबै विधिविधानको बारेमा सुनेर यसो भन्‍ने छन्, 'निश्यच नै, यो महान् जाति बुद्धिमानी र समझशक्ति भएको जाति रहेछ ।'

and you have kept and done [them] (for it [is] your wisdom and your understanding) before the eyes of the peoples who hear all these statutes, and they have said, Surely a people wise and understanding [is] this great nation.

7 किनकि हामीले जहिलेसुकै पुकारा गर्दा हाम्रा परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर जत्ति नजिक हुनुहुन्छ, त्यति अर्को कुन जातिको ईश्‍वर नजिक छ?

For which [is] the great nation that has God [so] near to it, as our God YHWH, in all we have called to Him?

8 आज मैले तिमीहरूका सामु राखिरहेको यो व्यवस्थाजस्तै धार्मिक विधिविधान भएको कुनचाहिँ अर्को महान् जाति छ?

And which [is] the great nation which has righteous statutes and judgments according to all this law which I am setting before you today?

9 केवल ध्यान देओ र आ-आफूलाई होसियारीपूर्वक पहरा देओ ताकि तिमीहरूका आँखाले देखेका कुराहरू तिमीहरूले नबिर्स र तिमीहरूका जीवनभरि ती तिमीहरूका ह्रदयबाट नजाऊन् । बरु, ती तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीहरू र नातिनातिनाहरूलाई सिकाओ ।

Only, take heed to yourself, and watch your soul exceedingly, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen, and lest they turn aside from your heart all [the] days of your life; and you have made them known to your sons and to your sons’ sons.

10 होरेबमा तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको सामु उभिएको दिनमा परमप्रभुले मलाई यसो भन्‍नुभयो, 'मानिसहरूलाई जम्मा गर् र म तिनीहरूलाई मेरा वचन सुन्‍ने बनाउने छु ताकि यस पृथ्वीमा तिनीहरू बाचुञ्‍जेलसम्म तिनीहरूले मेरो भय मान्‍न सिकून् र तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीहरूलाई सिकाउन सकून् ।'

[Never forget] the day when you have stood before your God YHWH in Horeb, in YHWH’s saying to me, Assemble the people to Me, and I cause them to hear My words, so that they learn to fear Me all the days that they are alive on the ground, and they teach their sons;

11 तिमीहरू पर्वतको फेदको नजिक आएर उभियौ । पर्वतमा आगो दन्केर आकाशको बिचसम्मै पुग्यो, अनि बाक्लो अन्धकार र बादल छायो ।

and you draw near and stand under the mountain, and the mountain is burning with fire to the heart of the heavens, [with] darkness, cloud, and thick darkness,

12 आगोको बिचबाट परमप्रभु तिमीहरूसित बोल्नुभयो । तिमीहरूले बोलिएको वचनको आवाज सुन्यौ तर त्यहाँ तिमीहरूले कुनै स्वरूप देखेनौ । तिमीहरूले आवाज मात्रै सुन्यौ ।

and YHWH speaks to you out of the midst of the fire; you are hearing a voice of words, but you are seeing no likeness, only a voice;

13 उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई तिमीहरूले पालन गर्नुपर्ने उहाँको करार अर्थात् दस आज्ञाको घोषणा गर्नुभयो । उहाँले तिनलाई दुईवटा शिला-पाटीमा लेख्‍नुभयो ।

and He declares His covenant to you, which He has commanded you to do, the Ten Commandments, and He writes them on two tablets of stone.

14 तिमीहरूलाई विधिविधानहरू सिकाउन त्यस बेला परमप्रभुले मलाई आज्ञा दिनुभयो ताकि पारि गएर तिमीहरूले अधिकार गर्न लागिरहेको देशमा ती पालन गर्न सक ।

And YHWH has commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, for your doing them in the land to where you are passing over to possess it.

15 त्यसैले तिमीहरूले आ-आफूलाई ध्यान देओ किनकि त्यस दिन होरेबमा परमप्रभु आगोको बिचबाट तिमीहरूसित बोल्नुहुँदा तिमीहरूले कुनै स्वरूप देखेनौ ।

And you have been very watchful of your souls, for you have not seen any likeness in the day of YHWH’s speaking to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire,

16 कुनै पुरुष वा स्‍त्रीको स्वरूपमा वा खोपेर कुनै पनि प्रतिमा बनाएर वा

lest you do corruptly, and have made for yourselves a carved image, a likeness of any figure: a form of male or female,

17 पृथ्वीमा कुनै पशुको स्वरूप वा आकाशमा उड्ने कुनै चराचुरुङ्गी वा

a form of any beast which [is] in the earth, a form of any winged bird which flies in the heavens,

18 भुइँमा घस्रने कुनै पनि प्राणी वा पृथ्वीमुनि पानीमा भएको कुनै पनि माछाको प्रतिमा बनाएर तिमीहरूले आफूलाई भ्रष्‍ट नपार ।

a form of any creeping thing on the ground, a form of any fish which [is] in the waters below the earth.

19 पुरै आकाशमुनि सबै जातिलाई परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले दिनुभएका सूर्य, चन्द्रमा वा ताराहरूसाथै सबै आकाशीय पिण्डहरू देखेर तिनको पुजा आराधना गर्न आफ्ना आँखा माथि नउठाओ ।

And lest you lift up your eyes to the heavens, and have seen the sun, and the moon, and the stars, all the host of the heavens, and have been drawn away, and have bowed yourself to them and served them, which your God YHWH has apportioned to all the peoples under all the heavens.

20 तर परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई उहाँको आफ्नै निज सम्पत्ति (जस्तो आज तिमीहरू छौ) बनाउन आगोको भट्टी अर्थात् मिश्रबाट निकालेर ल्याउनुभएको छ ।

And YHWH has taken you, and He is bringing you out from the iron furnace, from Egypt, to be to Him for a people, an inheritance, as [at] this day.

21 तिमीहरूका कारणले परमप्रभु मसित रिसाउनुभयो । म यर्दनपारि जान नपाउने र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले सम्पत्तिको रूपमा तिमीहरूलाई दिनुहुने देशमा जान नपाउने गरी उहाँले शपथ खानुभयो ।

And YHWH has showed Himself angry with me because of your words, and swears to my not passing over the Jordan, and to my not going into the good land which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance;

22 बरु, म यस देशमै मर्नुपर्छ । म यर्दनपारि जान पाउने छैनँ । तर तिमीहरू त्यस असल देशमा गएर त्यसको अधिकार गर्ने छौ ।

for I am dying in this land; I am not passing over the Jordan, but you are passing over and have possessed this good land.

23 सावधान बस ताकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूसित बाँध्‍नुभएको करार तिमीहरूले नभुल र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई निषेध गर्नुभएको कुनै पनि कुराको प्रतिमूर्ति नबनाओ ।

Take heed to yourselves lest you forget the covenant of your God YHWH which He has made with you, and have made a carved image for yourselves, a likeness of anything [concerning] which your God YHWH has charged you;

24 किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर भस्म पार्ने आगो र डाही परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्छ ।

for your God YHWH is a consuming fire—a zealous God.

25 तिमीहरूले छोराछोरीहरू र नातिनातिनाहरू जन्माइसकेपछि तिमीहरू लामो समयसम्म त्यस देशमा बस्दा तिमीहरूले आफूलाई भ्रष्‍ट पारी खोपेर कुनै पनि कुराको प्रतिमूर्ति बनाएर परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको दृष्‍टिमा दुष्‍ट काम गरी उहाँलाई चिढ्यायौ भने म आज स्वर्ग र पृथ्वीलाई तिमीहरूका विरुद्धमा साक्षी राख्दछु,

When you beget sons and sons’ sons, and you have become old in the land, and have done corruptly, and have made a carved image, a likeness of anything, and have done evil in the eyes of YHWH to provoke Him to anger,

26 कि जुन देश अधिकार गर्न तिमीहरू यर्दनपारि जाँदै छौ त्यस देशबाट तिमीहरू चाँडै नै पूर्ण रूपमा नष्‍ट हुने छौ । त्यहाँ तिमीहरू लामो समयसम्म बाँच्ने छैनौ, तर तिमीहरू पूर्ण रूपमा नष्‍ट हुने छौ ।

I have caused the heavens and the earth to testify against you this day, that you perish utterly quickly from off the land to where you are passing over the Jordan to possess it; you do not prolong days on it, but are utterly destroyed;

27 परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई जाति-जातिहरूका बिचमा तितर-बितर पारिदिनुहुने छ, र उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई धपाउनुभएका जातिहरूका बिचमा तिमीहरूको सङ्ख्या थोरै हुने छ ।

and YHWH has scattered you among the peoples, and you have been left few in number among the nations to where YHWH leads you,

28 त्यहाँ तिमीहरूले मानिसहरूका हातले बनाइएका काठ र ढुङ्गाका अन्य देवताहरूको सेवा गर्ने छौ जसले न देख्छन् न सुन्छन् न खान्छन् न त सुँघ्छन् ।

and you have served gods there, work of man’s hands, wood and stone, which do not see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

29 तर त्यहीँबाट नै तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको खोजी गर्ने छौ र तिमीहरूका सारा ह्रदय र सारा प्राणले उहाँको खोजी गर्दा तिमीहरूले उहाँलाई भेट्टाउने छौ ।

And you have sought your God YHWH from there, and have found [Him] when you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

30 ती पछिल्ला दिनमा तिमीहरू सङ्कष्‍टमा हुँदा र यी सबै कुरा तिमीहरूमा आइपर्दा तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरमा फर्की उहाँको आवाज सुन्‍ने छौ ।

In the distress of yours, when all these things have found you in the latter end of the days, and you have turned back to your God YHWH and have listened to His voice—

31 किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर कृपालु हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई त्याग्‍नुहुने छैन न त नष्‍ट गर्नुहुने छ न तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूसित बाँध्‍नुभएको करारलाई भुल्नुहुने छ ।

for your God YHWH [is] a merciful God—He does not fail you, nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He has sworn to them.

32 अब के पहिले कहिल्यै यस्तो महान् घटना भएको थियो वा यस्तो कहिल्यै सुनिएको थियो? तिमीहरूभन्दा अगि बितेका दिनहरू अर्थात् परमेश्‍वरले पृथ्वीमा मानिस सृजनुभएको दिनको बारेमा सोधपुछ गर । आकाशको एक छेउदेखि अर्को छेउसम्म सोधपुछ गर ।

For ask now of the former days which have been before you, from the day that God created man on the earth, and from the [one] end of the heavens even to the [other] end of the heavens, whether there has been as this great thing, or [if anything] has been heard like it.

33 तिमीहरूले सुनेजस्तै आगोको बिचबाट परमेश्‍वर बोल्नुभएको सुनेर के कुनै जाति कहिल्यै जीवित भएको छ?

Has a people heard the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, you—and live?

34 वा मिश्रमा तिमीहरूका आँखाकै सामुन्‍ने परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले गर्नुभएझैँ परीक्षा, चिन्ह, आश्‍चार्य, लडाइँ, शक्तिशाली हात, पसारिएको पाखुरा र महान् त्रासहरूद्वारा अर्को जातिको बिचबाट आफ्नो लागि एउटा जातिलाई लिएर आउन के परमेश्‍वरले कहिल्यै कोसिस गर्नुभएको छ?

Or has God tried to go in to take a nation for Himself from the midst of a nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a strong hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that your God YHWH has done to you in Egypt before your eyes?

35 तिमीहरूलाई नै यी कुराहरू देखाइए ताकि तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु नै परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्छ र उहाँबाहेक अरू कोही ईश्‍वर छैन भनी तिमीहरूले जान्‍न सक ।

You—you have been shown [it], to know that He, YHWH, [is] God; there is none else besides Him.

36 तिमीहरूलाई निर्देशन दिन उहाँले स्वर्गबाट आफ्नो आवाज तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभयो । पृथ्वीमा उहाँले आफ्नो दन्कने आगो तिमीहरूलाई देखाउनुभयो । तिमीहरूले आगोको बिचबाट उहाँका वचन सुन्यौ ।

He has caused you to hear His voice from the heavens, to instruct you; and on earth He has showed you His great fire, and you have heard His words out of the midst of the fire.

37 उहाँले तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूलाई प्रेम गर्नुभएकाले उहाँले तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरूलाई चुन्‍नुभयो अनि उहाँको उपस्थिति र महाशक्तिसहित तिमीहरूलाई मिश्रबाट ल्याउनुभयो ।

And because that He has loved your fathers, He also fixes on their seed after them, and brings you out in His presence, by His great power, from Egypt,

38 उहाँले तिमीहरूकै सामु तिमीहरूभन्दा शक्तिशाली र महान् जातिलाई धपाइदिनुभयो ताकि तिमीहरूलाई भित्र ल्याई सम्पत्तिको रूपमा तिनीहरूको देश दिन सकून् जस्तो आज उहाँले गर्नुभएको छ ।

to dispossess nations greater and stronger than you from your presence, to bring you in to give their land to you [for] an inheritance, as [at] this day.

39 त्यसकारण आज यो जान र ह्रदयमा राख कि परमप्रभु नै माथि स्वर्ग र तल पृथ्वीमा परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्छ र अरू कोही छैन ।

And you have known today, and have turned [it] back to your heart, that He, YHWH, [is] God in the heavens above and on the earth below—there is none else;

40 आज मैले तिमीहरूलाई दिएका विधिविधानहरू तिमीहरूले पालन गर ताकि तिमीहरू र तिमीहरू पछि आउने तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीहरूको भलो होस् अनि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले सदाको निम्ति तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएको देशमा तिमीहरूको आयु लामो होस् ।”

and you have kept His statutes and His commands which I am commanding you today, so that it is well for you, and for your sons after you, and so that you prolong days on the ground which your God YHWH is giving to you—all the days.”

41 तब मोशाले यर्दनको पूर्वपट्टि तिनवटा सहर छाने

Then Moses separates three cities beyond the Jordan, toward the sun-rising,

42 ताकि कुनै पनि व्यक्तिले पहिले दुश्मनी नभएका अर्को व्यक्तिलाई अजान अवस्थामा मारेको खण्डमा त्यहाँ भागेर जान सकोस् । यी सहरमध्ये कुनै एउटामा भागेर त्यसले आफ्नो ज्यान बचाउन सक्थ्यो ।

for the fleeing there of the manslayer who slays his neighbor unknowingly, and he is not hating him before, and he has fled to one of these cities and he has lived:

43 यी सहरहरू यिनै थिएः रूबेनीहरूका लागि उजाड-स्थानमा मैदानको बेसेर, गादीहरूका लागि गिलादको रामोत र मनश्शेका सन्तानहरूका लागि बाशानको गोलान ।

Bezer in the wilderness, in the land of the plain, for the Reubenite; and Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadite; and Golan in Bashan for the Manassite.

44 मोशाले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका सामु राखिदिएको व्यवस्था यही हो ।

And this [is] the law which Moses has set before the sons of Israel;

45 इस्राएलीहरू मिश्रबाट आउँदा तिनले तिनीहरूलाई दिएका करारका आज्ञाहरू, व्यवस्थाहरू र अन्य आज्ञाहरू यी नै हुन् ।

these [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses has spoken to the sons of Israel in their coming out of Egypt,

46 तिनीहरू हेश्बोनमा बस्‍ने एमोरीहरूका राजा सीहोनको देश बेथ-पोरको सामुन्‍ने यर्दनको पूर्वपट्टि छँदा मोशाले यी आज्ञाहरू दिएका थिए । मोशा र इस्राएलीहरू मिश्रबाट आउँदा तिनले यी राजालाई हराएका थिए ।

beyond the Jordan, in the valley opposite Beth-Peor, in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorite, who is dwelling in Heshbon, whom Moses and the sons of Israel have struck in their coming out of Egypt;

47 तिनीहरूले तिनको देश र बाशानका राजा ओगको देशमाथि अधिकार गरे । यी एमोरीहरूका दुई राजा थिए जो यर्दनपारि पूर्वपट्टि बस्थे ।

and they possess his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorite who [are] beyond the Jordan, [toward] the sun-rising,

48 यो क्षेत्र अर्नोनको बेँसीको छेउमा रहेको अर्नोनदेखि सियोन पर्वत (अर्थात् हेर्मोन पर्वत) सम्म

from Aroer, which [is] by the edge of the Brook of Arnon, even to Mount Zion, which [is] Hermon—

49 र यर्दनपारि पूर्वपट्टि यर्दन नदीको बेँसीको मैदानका सबै भूभागदेखि अराबाको समुद्रसम्म र पिसगा टापुको भिरसम्म पर्थ्यो ।

and all the plain beyond the Jordan eastward, even to the Sea of the Plain, below the Springs of Pisgah.
