व्यवस्था 9

1 हे इस्राएल हो, सुन । तिमीहरूभन्दा महान् र शक्तिशाली जातिहरू अनि आकाशै छुने पर्खाल लगाएका ठुला-ठुला सहरहरूमाथि अधिकार गर्न आज तिमीहरूले यर्दन पार गर्नै लागेका छौ ।

Hear, Israel! You are to pass over the Jordan today, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky,

2 तिनीहरू महान् र अग्ला छन् जो अनाकका छोराहरू हुन् जसको बारेमा तिमीहरूलाई थाहै छ र 'अनाकका छोराहरूको सामु को खडा हुन सक्छ?' भनी तिमीहरूले सुनेकै छौ ।

a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, “Who can stand before the sons of Anak?”

3 त्यसकारण, आज यो जानिराख कि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर नै भस्म गर्ने आगोजस्तै तिमीहरूभन्दा अगिअगि जानुहुन्छ । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई नष्‍ट पार्नुहुने छ, र तिमीहरूको अधीनमा ल्याउनुहुने छ । त्यसैले परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभएझैँ तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई धपाउने छौ, र तिनीहरूलाई चाँडै नै नष्‍ट पार्ने छौ ।

Know therefore today that the LORD your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire. He will destroy them and he will bring them down before you. So you shall drive them out and make them perish quickly, as the LORD has spoken to you.

4 तिमीहरूकै सामु परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिनीहरूलाई निकाल्नुभएपछि आफ्नो ह्रदयमा यसो नभन, 'मेरो धार्मिकताको कारणले गर्दा परमप्रभुले मलाई यो देश अधिकार गर्न ल्याउनुभएको छ ।' बरु यी जातिहरूको दुष्‍टताको कारणले परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई तिमीहरूकै सामु धपाउँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।

Don’t say in your heart, after the LORD your God has thrust them out from before you, “For my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land;” because the LORD drives them out before you because of the wickedness of these nations.

5 तिमीहरूको धार्मिकता वा तिमीहरूको ह्रदयको सोझोपनको कारणले गर्दा तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूको देश अधिकार गर्न लागेका होइनौ, तर यी जातिहरूको दुष्‍टताको कारणले गर्दा तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूकै सामुन्‍ने तिनीहरूलाई धपाउँदै हुनुहुन्छ ताकि उहाँले तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरू अब्राहाम, इसहाक र याकूबसित शपथ खानुभएको वचनलाई सत्य साबित गर्न सकून् ।

Not for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

6 त्यसकारण यो जानिराख, कि तिमीहरूको धार्मिकताको कारणले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले यो असल देश तिमीहरूलाई अधिकारको लागि दिन लाग्‍नुभएको होइन किनकि तिमीहरू त हठी मानिसहरू हौ ।

Know therefore that the LORD your God doesn’t give you this good land to possess for your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked people.

7 उजाड-स्थानमा तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरलाई कसरी क्रोधित तुल्यायौ भनी याद राख । तिमीहरूले मिश्र देश छाडेदेखि तिमीहरू यस ठाउँमा नआउञ्‍जेलसम्म तिमीहरू परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा विद्रोही बनेका छौ ।

Remember, and don’t forget, how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that you left the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD.

8 साथै, हेब्रोनमा तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई क्रोधित तुल्यायौ, र तिमीहरूलाई नाशै पार्ने गरी उहाँ क्रुद्ध हुनुभयो ।

Also in Horeb you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was angry with you to destroy you.

9 परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूसित बाँध्‍नुभएका करारका शिला-पाटीहरू लिन म पर्वतमा उक्लँदा म चालिस दिन चालिस रातसम्म पर्वतमा बसेँ । मैले न रोटी खाएँ, न पानी पिएँ ।

When I had gone up onto the mountain to receive the stone tablets, even the tablets of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water.

10 परमप्रभुले मलाई आफ्नै औँलाले लेख्‍नुभएका दुईवटा शिला-पाटी दिनुभयो । सभाको दिनमा आगोको बिचबाट परमप्रभुले पर्वतमा बोल्नुभएका सबै वचन तिनमा लेखिएका थिए ।

The LORD delivered to me the two stone tablets written with God’s finger. On them were all the words which the LORD spoke with you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly.

11 ती चालिस दिन र चालिस रातको अन्त्यमा परमप्रभुले मलाई करारका दुईवटा शिला-पाटी दिनुभयो ।

It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights that the LORD gave me the two stone tablets, even the tablets of the covenant.

12 परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, 'उठेर छिटो गरी यहाँबाट तल जा किनकि तैँले मिश्रबाट ल्याएका तेरा मानिसहरूले आफैलाई भ्रष्‍ट पारेका छन् । मैले तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेको मार्गबाट तिनीहरू चाँडै नै तर्केर गएका छन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्नो निम्ति ढलौटे मूर्ति बनाएका छन् ।'

The LORD said to me, “Arise, get down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have corrupted themselves. They have quickly turned away from the way which I commanded them. They have made a molten image for themselves!”

13 यसबाहेक, परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, 'मैले यी मानिसहरूलाई देखेको छु र तिनीहरू हठी छन् ।

Furthermore the LORD spoke to me, saying, “I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.

14 मलाई एक्लै छोडिदे ताकि मैले तिनीहरूलाई नष्‍ट गर्नू सकूँ र स्वर्गमूनिबाट तिनीहरूको नाउँ मेटाइदिन सकूँ र तँबाट नै तिनीहरूभन्दा महान् र शक्तिशाली जाति बनाउन सकूँ ।'

Leave me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.”

15 त्यसैले म फर्केर पर्वतबाट ओर्ली आएँ, अनि पर्वत जलिरहेको थियो । करारका दुईवटा शिला-पाटी मेरा हातमा थिए ।

So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire. The two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.

16 मैले हेरेँ र तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका थियौ । तिमीहरूले आफ्नो निम्ति बाछाको ढलौटे मूर्ति बनाएका थियौ । परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएको मार्गबाट तिमीहरू चाँडै नै तर्केर गएका थियौ ।

I looked, and behold, you had sinned against the LORD your God. You had made yourselves a moulded calf. You had quickly turned away from the way which the LORD had commanded you.

17 मैले ती दुईवटा शिला-पाटीलाई लिएर मेरा हातबाट फालिदिएँ । मैले तिमीहरूकै सामु तिनलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिदिएँ ।

I took hold of the two tablets, and threw them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.

18 फेरि, मैले न रोटी खाएँ न पानी पिएँ । परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा दुष्‍ट काम गरेर उहाँलाई चिढ्याई तिमीहरूका सबै पापको कारणले गर्दा चालिस दिन र चालिस रातसम्म म परमप्रभुको सामु लम्पसार परेँ ।

I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger.

19 किनकि तिमीहरूलाई नाशै पार्ने गरी तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा भएको परमप्रभुको रिस र कडा बेखुसीको कारणले म भयभीत भएँ । तर त्यस बेला पनि परमप्रभुले मेरो कुरा सुन्‍नुभयो ।

For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which the LORD was angry against you to destroy you. But the LORD listened to me that time also.

20 हारूनलाई नष्‍ट गर्ने गरी उहाँ तिनीसित ज्यादै रिसाउनुभयो । त्यस बेला मैले हारूनको लागि पनि प्रार्थना गरेँ ।

The LORD was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him. I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.

21 मैले तिमीहरूको पाप अर्थात् तिमीहरूले बनाएको बाछो लिएर त्यसलाई जलाइदिएँ अनि त्यसलाई चकनाचुर पारेर धूलोपिठो पारिदिएँ । मैले त्यस धूलोलाई पर्वतबाट आउने खोलामा फालिदिएँ ।

I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burnt it with fire, and crushed it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust. I threw its dust into the brook that descended out of the mountain.

22 तबेरा, मस्साह र किब्रोथ-हत्तावामा तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई क्रोधित तुल्यायौ ।

At Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah you provoked the LORD to wrath.

23 परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई कादेश-बर्नेमा यसो भनी पठाउनुहुँदा, 'मैले तिमीहरूलाई दिएको देशमा गएर त्यसलाई अधिकार गर' तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूको परमेश्‍वरको आज्ञाको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गर्‍यौ, अनि उहाँको कुरा मानेनौ वा सुनेनौ ।

When the LORD sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, “Go up and possess the land which I have given you,” you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and you didn’t believe him or listen to his voice.

24 मैले तिमीहरूलाई चिनेको दिनदेखि नै तिमीहरू परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा बागी भएका छौ ।

You have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.

25 परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई नष्‍ट गर्नुहुनेथियो भनी उहाँले भन्‍नुभएकोले म चालिस दिन चालिस रातसम्म उहाँको सामु लम्पसार परेँ ।

So I fell down before the LORD the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because the LORD had said he would destroy you.

26 मैले परमप्रभुलाई यसो भनी प्रार्थना चढाएँ, 'हे परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर, तपाईंले आफ्ना मानिसहरू अर्थात् तपाईंको सम्पत्तिलाई नष्‍ट नगर्नुहोस् जसलाई तपाईंले आफ्नो महान्‌ताद्वारा छुटकारा दिनुभएको छ र आफ्नो शक्तिशाली हातले मिश्रबाट ल्याउनुभएको छ ।

I prayed to the LORD, and said, “Lord GOD, don’t destroy your people and your inheritance that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

27 तपाईंका दासहरू अब्राहाम, इसहाक र याकूबलाई सम्झनुहोस् । यो जातिको हठलाई नहेर्नुहोस् न त तिनीहरूका दुष्‍टता र पापलाई नै हेर्नुहोस् ।

Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Don’t look at the stubbornness of this people, nor at their wickedness, nor at their sin,

28 नत्रता तपाईंले हामीलाई जुन देशबाट ल्याउनुभयो त्यसले भन्ला, 'परमप्रभुले प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको देशमा उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई लैजान नसक्‍नुभएकोले र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई घृणा गर्नुभएकोले तिनीहरूलाई उजाड-स्थानमा मार्न उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर ल्याउनुभएको छ ।'

lest the land you brought us out from say, ‘Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.’

29 तथापि तिनीहरू तपाईंका मानिसहरू र तपाईंको सम्पत्ति हुन् जसलाई तपाईंले आफ्नो महाशक्ति र तपाईंको शक्तिको प्रदर्शनीद्वारा बाहिर ल्याउनुभयो ।'

Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.”
