व्यवस्था 1

1 यर्दन नदीको बेँसीको मैदानमा सुपको सामुन्‍ने अराबामा पारान, तोफेल, लाबान, हसेरोत र दीसाहाबका बिचमा यर्दनपारिको उजाड-स्थानमा मोशाले सबै इस्राएलीलाई दिएका वचन यिनै हुन् ।

These are the words which Moses [Drawn out] spoke to all Israel [God prevails] beyond the Jordan [Descender] in the wilderness, in the Arabah over against Suf, between Paran, Tophel, Laban [White], Hazeroth, and Dizahab.

2 होरेबदेखि सेइर पर्वतको बाटो भएर कादेश-बर्नेसम्म पुग्‍न एघार दिन लाग्छ ।

It is eleven days’ journey from Horeb [Desert] by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea [Consecrated Son-inconstant].

3 चालिसौँ वर्षको एघारौँ महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा मोशाले इस्राएलका सबै मानिसलाई परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूको बारेमा मोशालाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएका सबै कुरा तिनले तिनीहरूलाई बताइदिए ।

In the fortieth year, in the eleventh month Shevat ·Staff / Rod / Royal scepter·, on the first day of the month, Moses [Drawn out] spoke to the children of Israel [God prevails], according to all that Adonai had given Moses [Drawn out], words of enjoinings to them;

4 हेश्बोनमा बस्‍ने एमोरीहरूका राजा सीहोन र एद्रईको अस्तारोतमा बस्‍ने बाशानका राजा ओगलाई परमप्रभुले आक्रमण गर्नुभएपछि यो भएको थियो ।

after he had struck Sihon the king of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth, at Edrei.

5 यर्दनपारि मोआब देशमा मोशाले यी निर्देशनहरू दिन थाले,

Beyond the Jordan [Descender], in the land of Moab [From father], Moses [Drawn out] began to declare this Torah ·Teaching·, saying,

6 “परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्दै होरेबमा हामीसित बोल्नुभयो, 'तिमीहरू यस डाँडामा बसेको धेरै भइसकेको छ ।

“Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] spoke to us in Horeb [Desert], saying, ‘You have lived long enough at this mountain.

7 आफ्नो यात्रा सुरु गरी एमोरीहरूको पहाडी देश र त्यसका छेउछाउका सबै ठाउँ अर्थात् यर्दन नदीको बेँसीको मैदान, पहाडी देश, तराई, नेगेव र समुद्रीतटमा कनानीहरूको देश र लेबनान र महानदी यूफ्रेटिससम्म जाओ ।

Turn, and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], and to all the places near there, in the Arabah, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and in the South, and by the seashore, the land of the Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled], and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates [Fruitful].

8 हेर, मैले यो देश तिमीहरूको सामु राखिदिएको छु । परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरू अर्थात् अब्राहाम, इसहाक र याकूबसित तिनीहरू र तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरूलाई दिने प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको देशमा गएर यसलाई कब्जा गर ।'

Behold, I have set the land before you. Go in and possess the land which Adonai swore to your fathers, to Abraham [Father of a multitude], to Isaac [Laughter], and to Jacob [Supplanter], to give to them and to their offspring after them.’”

9 त्यस बेला मैले तिमीहरूलाई यसो भनेँ, 'म एक्लै तिमीहरूलाई अगुवाइ गर्न सक्दिनँ ।

I spoke to you at that time, saying, “I am not able to bear you myself alone.

10 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूको वृद्धि गराउनुभएको छ, अब हेर आज तिमीहरू आकाशका तारापुञ्‍जजस्तै धेरै भएका छौ ।

Adonai your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are today as the stars of the sky for multitude.

11 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाका परमेश्‍वरले आफूले प्रतिज्ञा गरेअनुसार तिमीहरूलाई हजारौँ गुणा वृद्धि गरी तिमीहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुभएको होस् ।

Adonai, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are, and bless you, as he has promised you!

12 तर म आफैले मात्र कसरी तिमीहरूका भार, तिमीहरूका बोझ र तिमीहरूका झगडाहरू बोक्‍न सक्छु?

How can I myself alone bear your problems, your burdens, and your strife?

13 हरेक कुलबाट बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरू, समझशक्ति भएकाहरू र असल नाम चलेकाहरूलाई छान र म तिनीहरूलाई तिमीहरूका नायक नियुक्त गर्ने छु ।'

Take wise men of understanding and well known according to your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.”

14 तिमीहरूले जवाफ दिई मलाई भन्यौ, 'तपाईंले भन्‍नुभएको कुरो हाम्रो निम्ति असल छ ।'

You answered me, and said, “The thing which you have spoken is good to do.”

15 त्यसैले मैले तिमीहरूका कुलहरूबाट मुख्य मानिसहरू, बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरू, असल नाउँ चलेकाहरूलाई छानी तिनीहरूलाई तिमीहरूका नायक बनाएँ ताकि तिनीहरूले कुल-कुलअनुसार हजार, सय, पचास र दसको रेखदेख गरून् ।

So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, according to your tribes.

16 त्यस बेला मैले तिमीहरूका न्यायकर्ताहरूलाई यसो भनी आज्ञा दिएँ, 'तिमीहरूका दाजुभाइहरूका बिचमा भएको झगडालाई सुनी कुनै मानिस, भाइ र तिमीहरूका परदेशीको बिचमा धार्मिकतापूर्वक न्याय गर ।

I enjoined your judges at that time, saying, “Sh'ma ·Hear obey· cases between your brothers, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the foreigner who is living with him.

17 झगदा हुँदा कसैको पक्षपात नगर । साना-ठुला दुवैको कुरामा समान रूपमा ध्यान देओ । मानिसको अनुहारदेखि नडराओ किनकि न्याय परमेश्‍वरको हो । तिमीहरूले मिलाउन नसक्‍ने झगडा मकहाँ ल्याओ र म त्यो सुन्‍ने छु ।'

You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall sh'ma ·hear obey· the small and the great alike. You shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God’s. The case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will sh'ma ·hear obey· it.”

18 तिमीहरूले गर्नुपर्ने सबै कुरा मैले त्यस बेला नै तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेको थिएँ ।

I enjoined you at that time all the things which you should do.

19 हामी होरेबबाट यात्रा गरी परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरले हामीलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएअनुसार तिमीहरूले देखेका विशाल र डरलाग्दो उजाड-स्थानबाट भएर एमोरीहरूको पहाडी देशतर्फ जाने बाटो लाग्यौँ अनि हामी कादेश-बर्ने आइपुग्यौँ ।

We traveled from Horeb [Desert], and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw, by the way to the hill country of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], as Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] enjoined us; and we came to Kadesh Barnea [Consecrated Son-inconstant].

20 मैले तिमीहरूलाई भनेँ, 'तिमीहरू एमोरीहरूको पहाडी देशमा आइपुगेका छौ जुन देश परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरले हामीलाई दिँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।

I said to you, “You have come to the hill country of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], which Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] gives to us.

21 हेर, परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले यो देश तिमीहरूका सामु राखिदिनुभएको छ । तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाका परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएअनुसार माथि उक्लेर यसको अधिकार गर । नडराओ, न त निरुत्साहित होओ ।'

Behold, Adonai your God has set the land before you. Go up, take possession, as Adonai, the God of your fathers, has spoken to you. Don’t be afraid, neither be dismayed.”

22 तिमीहरू हरेक मकहाँ आएर भन्यौ, 'हामीभन्दा अगिअगि मानिसहरू पठाऔँ ताकि तिनीहरूले हाम्रो निम्ति त्यस देशको भेद लिई हामीले त्यस देशलाई कसरी आक्रमण गर्नुपर्छ र हामी कुन-कुन सहरमा आइपुग्‍नुपर्ने हो भन्‍ने बारेमा तिनीहरूले बताऊन् ।'

You came near to me, everyone of you, and said, “Let us send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come.”

23 त्यो सल्लाहले मलाई ज्यादै खुसी पार्‍यो । मैले तिमीहरूमध्ये हरेक कुलबाट एक-एक गरी बाह्र जना मानिस छानेँ ।

The thing pleased me well. I took twelve men of you, one man for every tribe.

24 तिनीहरू पहाडी देशमा गए । तिनीहरू एश्कोलको बेँसीमा पुगी यसको जासुसी गरे ।

They turned and went up into the hill country, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.

25 तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्ना हातमा त्यस देशका केही उत्पादनहरू हामीकहाँ ल्याए । तिनीहरूले हामीकहाँ यस्तो समाचार पनि ल्याए, 'परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरले हामीलाई दिन लाग्‍नुभएको यो देश असल छ ।'

They took some of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, “It is a good land which Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] gives to us.”

26 तर तिमीहरूले आक्रमण गर्न इन्कार गरी परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको आज्ञाको विरुद्धमा गयौ ।

Yet you wouldn’t go up, but rebelled against the order of Adonai your God.

27 तिमीहरूका पालहरूमा गनगन गर्दै तिमीहरूले भन्यौ, “परमप्रभुले हामीलाई घृणा गर्नुभएको छ । त्यसैले, एमोरीहरूको हातमा सुम्पी हामीलाई नष्‍ट गर्न उहाँले हामीलाई मिश्र देशबाट बाहिर ल्याउनुभएको छ ।

You murmured in your tents, and said, “Because Adonai hated us, he has brought us out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], to destroy us.

28 अब हामी कहाँ जाने? हाम्रा दाजुभाइहरूले यसो भनी हामीलाई निराश बनाएका छन्, 'ती मानिसहरू हामीभन्दा ठुला र अग्ला छन् । तिनीहरूका सहरहरू विशाल छन् र आकाशसम्मै पर्खाल लगाइएका छन् । त्यस बाहेक, त्यहाँ हामीले अनाकीहरूका सन्तानहरूलाई पनि देखेका छौँ' ।”

Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our heart melt, saying, ‘The people are greater and taller than we. The cities are great and fortified up to the sky. Moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there!’”

29 तब मैले तिमीहरूलाई भनेँ, 'भयभीत नहोओ, न त तिनीहरूदेखि डराओ ।

Then I said to you, “Don’t dread, neither be afraid of them.

30 तिमीहरूका अगिअगि जानुहुने तिमीहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर नै तिमीहरूका पक्षमा लड्नुहुने छ जस्तो तिमीहरूकै आँखाका सामुन्‍ने मिश्रमा तिमीहरूका निम्ति उहाँले गर्नुभएको थियो ।

Adonai your God who goes before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt [Abode of slavery] before your eyes,

31 तिमीहरू यस ठाउँमा नआइपुगुञ्‍जेलसम्म बुबाले आफ्नो छोरोलाई बोकेजस्तै उजाड-स्थानसाथै हरेक ठाउँमा परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई बोक्‍नुभएको तिमीहरूले देखेकै छौ ।'

and in the wilderness, where you have seen how that Adonai your God bore you, as a man does bear his son, in all the way that you went, until you came to this place.”

32 यस वचनका बाबजुत पनि तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरमा विश्‍वास गरेनौ

Yet in this thing you didn’t trust Adonai your God,

33 जो रातमा आगो र दिनमा बादल बनेर तिमीहरूलाई छाउनी बनाउने ठाउँ पत्ता लगाउन तिमीहरूका अगिअगि जानुभयो ।

who went before you on the way, to seek out a place for you to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and in the cloud by day.

34 परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूको आवाज सुन्‍नुभयो र उहाँ रिसाउनुभयो । उहाँले शपथ खाएर भन्‍नुभयो,

Adonai sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the voice of your words, and was angry, and swore, saying,

35 'निश्‍चय नै यो दुष्‍ट पुस्ताको एउटै मान्छेले पनि मैले तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूलाई दिन्छु भनेको असल देश देख्‍ने छैन ।

“Surely not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land, which I swore to give to your fathers,

36 तर यपुन्‍नेका छोरा कालेबले यो देश देख्‍नेछ । त्यसले पूर्ण रूपमा परमप्रभुलाई पछ्याएकोले म त्यसलाई र त्यसका सन्तानहरूलाई त्यसले पाइला टेकेको यो देश दिने छु ।'

except Caleb [Dog] the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it. I will give the land that he has trodden on to him, and to his children, because he has wholly followed Adonai.”

37 तिमीहरूका कारणले परमप्रभु मसित पनि रिसाउनुभयो, 'तँ पनि त्यहाँ जाने छैनस् ।

Also Adonai was angry with me for your sakes, saying, “You also shall not go in there.

38 मेरो सामु खडा हुने नूनका छोरा यहोशू त्यहाँ जाने छ । त्यसलाई उत्साह दे किनकि त्यसले यस देशको कब्जा गर्न इस्राएललाई अगुवाइ गर्नेछ ।

Joshua [Yah Salvation] the son of Nun, who stands before you, shall go in there. Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel [God prevails] to inherit it.

39 यस बाहेक, तेरा स-साना बालबालिकाहरू जसको विषयमा तैँले तिनीहरू सिकार हुने छन् भनी बताएको थिइस्, जससित आज असल र खराबको ज्ञान छैन, तिनीहरू नै त्यहाँ जाने छन् । तिनीहरूलाई म यो देश दिने छु र तिनीहरूले यसको अधिकार गर्ने छन् ।

Moreover your little ones, whom you said should be captured or killed, and your children, who today have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there, and I will give it to, and they shall possess it.

40 तर तिमीहरू भने फर्केर उजाड-स्थानको बाटो हुँदै नर्कटहरूको समुद्रको दिशातर्फ जाओ ।'

But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Sea of Suf [Reed Sea].”

41 तब तिमीहरूले मलाई जवाफ दियौ, 'हामीले परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका छौँ । हामी माथि उक्लेर लडाइँ गर्ने छौँ, र परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरले हामीलाई गर्नू भनी आज्ञा दिनुभएका सबै कुरा हामी गर्नेछौँ । तिमीहरूका बिचमा भएका हरेक पुरुषले आ-आफ्नो हतियार उठाएर त्यस पहाडी देशलाई आक्रमण गर्न तयार भयौ ।

Then you answered and said to me, “We have sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)· against Adonai, we will go up and fight, according to all that Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] enjoined us.” Every man of you put on his weapons of war, and presumed to go up into the hill country.

42 परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, 'तिनीहरूलाई भन्, “आक्रमण नगर्; लडाइँ नगर् किनकि म तिमीहरूसँग हुने छैनँ, र तिमीहरू आफ्ना शत्रुहरूद्वारा पराजित हुने छौ ।'

Adonai said to me, “Tell them, ‘Don’t go up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest you be struck before your enemies.’”

43 मैले तिमीहरूलाई यसरी नै भनेँ, तर तिमीहरूले मेरो कुरा सुनेनौ । तिमीहरू परमप्रभुको आज्ञाको विरुद्धमा गयौ । तिमीहरू हठी भयौ र त्यस पहाडी देशलाई आक्रमण गर्न गयौ ।

So I spoke to you, and you didn’t sh'ma ·hear obey·; but you rebelled against the order of Adonai, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill country.

44 तर त्यस पहाडी देशमा बस्‍ने एमोरीहरू तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा आएर तिमीहरूलाई मौरीलाई झैँ लखेटे अनि सेइरदेखि होर्मासम्मै तिमीहरूलाई प्रहार गरे ।

The Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], who lived in that hill country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to Hormah.

45 तिमीहरू फर्केर पमरप्रभुको सामु रोयौ । तर पमरप्रभुले तिमीहरूको रुवाइ सुन्‍नुभएन, न त उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई ध्यानै दिनुभयो ।

You made teshuvah ·complete return· and wept before Adonai; but Adonai didn’t sh'ma ·hear obey· unto your voice, nor turn his ear to you.

46 त्यसैले तिमीहरू कादेशमा धेरै दिनसम्म बस्यौ । तिमीहरूले त्यहाँ पुरै दिनहरू बितायौ ।

So you stayed in Kadesh many days, according to the days that you remained.
