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 ।

Now, Israel, listen to the statutes and to the ordinances, which I teach you, to do them; that you may live, and go in and possess the land which Jehovah, the God of your fathers, gives 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 shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you diminish from it, that you may keep the commandments of Jehovah your God which I command 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 have seen what Jehovah did because of Baal Peor; for all the men who followed Baal Peor, Jehovah your God has destroyed them from the midst of you.

4 तर परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरसित टाँसिनेहरूमध्ये हरेक आज जीवित छ ।

But you who were faithful to Jehovah your God are all alive this day.

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 ।

Look, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as Jehovah my God commanded me, that you should do so in the midst of the land where you go 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 ।'

Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who shall hear all these statutes, and say, "Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people."

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

For what great nation is there, that has a god so near to them, as Jehovah our God is whenever we call on him?

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

What great nation is there, that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?

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 keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children's children;

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 ।'

the day that you stood before Jehovah your God in Horeb, when Jehovah said to me, "Assemble me the people, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children."

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

You came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the heart of the sky, 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 ।

Jehovah spoke to you out of the midst of the fire: you heard the voice of words, but you saw no form; you only heard a voice.

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

He declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even the ten commandments; and he wrote 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 ।

Jehovah commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it.

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

Therefore watch yourselves carefully; for you saw no kind of form on the day that Jehovah spoke 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 corrupt yourselves, and make yourself an engraved image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

17 पृथ्वीमा कुनै पशुको स्वरूप वा आकाशमा उड्ने कुनै चराचुरुङ्गी वा

the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the sky,

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

the likeness of any crawling creature that crawls on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water below the land;

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 sky, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the host of heaven, you are drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which Jehovah your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole sky.

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

But God has taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people of 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 ।

Furthermore Jehovah was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not go in to that good land, which Jehovah your God gives 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 ।

but I must die in this land, I must not go over the Jordan; but you shall go over, and possess that 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 ।

Be careful, lest you forget the covenant of Jehovah your God, which he made with you, and make you an engraved image in the form of anything which Jehovah your God has forbidden you.

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

For Jehovah your God is a devouring fire, a jealous 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 shall father children, and children's children, and you shall have been long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make an engraved image in the form of anything, and shall do that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah your God, 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 call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto you go over the Jordan to possess it; you shall not prolong your days on it, but shall utterly be destroyed.

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

Jehovah will scatter you among the peoples, and you shall be left few in number among the nations, where Jehovah will drive 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 ।

There you shall serve other gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither 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 ।

But from there you shall seek Jehovah your God, and you shall find him, when you search after 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 ।

When you are in oppression, and all these things have come on you, in the latter days you shall return to Jehovah your God, and listen 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 Jehovah your God is a merciful God; he will not fail you, neither destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore 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 days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created humankind on the earth, and from the one end of the sky to the other, whether there has been anything as this great thing is, or has been heard like it?

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

Did a people ever hear the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, 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 and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Jehovah your God did for 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 ।

It was shown to you so that you might know that Jehovah is God. There is no one 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 ।

Out of heaven he made you to hear his voice, that he might instruct you: and on earth he made you to see his great fire; and you 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 ।

Because he loved your fathers, therefore he chose their descendants after them, and brought you out with his presence, with his great power, out of 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 drive out nations from before you greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land 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 ।

Know therefore this day, and lay it to your heart, that Jehovah he is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.

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 ।”

You shall keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command you this day, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land, which Jehovah your God gives you, forever.

41 तब मोशाले यर्दनको पूर्वपट्टि तिनवटा सहर छाने

Then Moses set apart three cities beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise;

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 ।

that the manslayer might flee there, who kills his neighbor unawares, and did not hate him in time past; and that fleeing to one of these cities he might live:

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, on the plateau, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites.

44 मोशाले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका सामु राखिदिएको व्यवस्था यही हो ।

This is the law which Moses set before the children 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 ordinances, which Moses spoke to the children of Israel, when they came forth 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 over against Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel struck, when they came forth out of Egypt.

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

They took his land in possession, and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise;

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

from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, even to Mount Sion (that is, Hermon),

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

and all the Arabah beyond the Jordan eastward, even to the sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah.
