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 spoke to all Israel on the east side of Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain opposite Zuph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.

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

( There are eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir to Kadeshbarnea.)

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

And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel, according to all that the LORD had given him in commandment to them;

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

After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:

5 यर्दनपारि मोआब देशमा मोशाले यी निर्देशनहरू दिन थाले,

On the east side of Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,

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

The LORD our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:

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 mount of the Amorites, and to all the places near to it, in the plain, on the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and to Lebanon, to the great river, the river Euphrates.

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 the LORD swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them.

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

And 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 ।

The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.

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

(The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)

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

How can I alone bear your weight, and your burden, and your strife?

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

Take for yourselves wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.

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

And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us 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 over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among 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 ।

And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is 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 ।'

Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring to me, and I will hear it.

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

And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye 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 ।

And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea.

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

And I said to you, Ye have come to the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give 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, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said to thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.

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 ।'

And ye came near to me each one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land for us, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.

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

And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:

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

And they turned and went up to the mountain, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and searched 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 ।'

And they took 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 the LORD our God doth give us.

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

However ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD 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 ।

And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth from the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, 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 can we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.

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

Then I said to you, Dread not, 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 ।

The LORD your God who goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt 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 thou hast seen how the LORD thy God bore thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.

32 यस वचनका बाबजुत पनि तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरमा विश्‍वास गरेनौ

Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,

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

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

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

And the LORD heard 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 there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that 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 the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath walked upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD.

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

Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt 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 ।

But Joshua the son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he shall go in there: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel 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, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in there, and to them will I give it, 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 of the Red 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 ye answered and said to me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up to the hill.

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

And the LORD said to me, Say to them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten 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 ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up to the hill.

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

And the Amorites, who dwelt on that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even to Hormah.

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

And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear to you.

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

So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according to the days that ye abode there.
