प्रस्थान 23

1 कसैको बारेमा झुटा गवाही नदेओ । बेइमानी गवाही दिने दुष्‍ट मानिससित नमिल ।

Not you must bear a report of falsehood may not you put hand your with a wicked [person] to be a witness of injustice.

2 खराबी गर्न भिडको पछि नलाग, न त न्यायलाई बङ्ग्याउन भिडको पक्ष लेओ ।

Not you must be after many [people] to wicked deeds and not you must testify on a case at law by turning aside after many [people] to thrust aside.

3 गरिब मानिसको मुद्दामा उसको पक्षपात नगर ।

And a poor [person] not you must show partiality in case at law his.

4 आफ्नो शत्रुको गोरु वा गधा बिच्केर जाँदै गरेको देख्यौ भने त्यसलाई फर्काएर त्यसकहाँ ल्याइदेओ ।

If you will meet [the] ox of enemy your or donkey his wandering off certainly you will return it to him.

5 तिमीहरूलाई घृणा गर्ने कुनै व्यक्तिको गधा भारीले थिचिएर भुइँमा लडेको देख्यौ भने त्यसलाई त्यत्तिकै नछोड । गधासँगै मदत गर ।

If you will see [the] donkey of [one who] hates you lying down under load its and you will refrain from leaving it certainly you will let [it] loose with him.

6 मुद्दा मामिलामा गरिबहरूको न्याय हरण नगर ।

Not you must turn aside [the] justice of needy [person] your in case at law his.

7 झुटा गवाही दिन अरूहरूसित नमिल, र निर्दोष वा धर्मीहरूलाई नमार किनकि म दुष्‍टहरूलाई कहिल्यै निर्दोष ठहराउनेछैनँ ।

From a word of falsehood you will be distant and an innocent [person] and a righteous [person] may not you kill for not I will declare righteous a wicked [person].

8 कहिल्यै घुस नलेओ किनकि घुसले देख्‍नेहरूलाई अन्धो तुल्याइदिन्छ र इमानदार मानिसहरूका वचनलाई बङ्ग्याइदिन्छ ।

And a bribe not you must take for bribe it makes blind clear-sighted [people] so it may pervert [the] words of righteous [people].

9 परदेशीलाई थिचोमिचो नगर किनकि तिमीहरू मिश्र देशमा परदेशी भएर बाँचेकाले परदेशीको जीवन कस्तो हुन्छ भनी तिमीहरू जान्दछौ ।

And a sojourner not you must oppress and you you have known [the] life of the sojourner for sojourners you were in [the] land of Egypt.

10 छ वर्षसम्म तिमीहरूले आ-आफ्ना जमिनमा बिउ रोपी फसल जम्मा गर ।

And six years you will sow land your and you will gather produce its.

11 तर सातौँ वर्षमा चाहिँ हलो नजोती त्यसलाई बाँझै छाडिदेओ ताकि तिमीहरूका बिचमा भएका गरिब मानिसहरूले खान सकून् । तिनीहरूले छाडेका जङ्गली जनावरहरूले खानेछन् । तिमीहरूका दाखबारी र भद्राक्षबारीलाई पनि त्यसै गर ।

And the seventh [year] you will let rest it and you will leave fallow it and they will eat [the] needy [people] of people your and excess their it will eat [the] animal[s] of the field thus you will do to vineyard your to olive grove your.

12 छ दिनसम्म आफ्नो काम गर, तर सातौँ दिनमा चाहिँ विश्राम गर । तिमीहरूका गोरु र गधाले पनि विश्राम पाउन सकून् भनेर यसो गर अनि तिमीहरूका कमारीको छोरो र परदेशीले पनि ताजा महसुस गर्न सकून् भनेर यस गर ।

Six days you will do work your and on the day seventh you will rest so that it may rest ox your and donkey your so he may refresh himself [the] child of female slave your and the sojourner.

13 मैले तिमीहरूलाई भनेका हरेक कुरामा ध्यान देओ । अरू देवी-देवताहरूको चर्चा नगर, न त तिमीहरूका मुखबाट तिनीहरूको नाउँ नै सुनियोस् ।

And to all that I have said to you you will take heed and [the] name of gods other not you will bring to remembrance not it will be heard on mouth your.

14 मेरो निम्ति चाड मान्‍न हरेक वर्ष तिन पटक यात्रा गर ।

Three feet you will celebrate a festival to me in the year.

15 तिमीहरूले अखमिरी रोटीको चाड मान्‍नू । मैले आज्ञा गरेझैँ तिमीहरूले सात दिनसम्म अखमिरी रोटी खानू । त्यस बेला तिमीहरू आबीब महिनामा मेरो सामु देखा पर्नू जुन यही उद्देश्यको लागि तयार पारिएको हो । तिमीहरू यही महिनामा मिश्रबाट बाहिर निस्केर आयौ । तर तिमीहरू खाली हात मेरो सामु देखा नपर्नू ।

[the] festival of The unleavened bread you will keep seven days you will eat unleavened bread just as I commanded you to [the] appointed time of [the] month of Abib for in it you came out from Egypt and not they will present themselves face my empty.

16 तिमीहरूले आफ्ना खेतहरूमा बिउ छर्दा तिमीहरूको परिश्रमको अगौटे फलको सम्झनामा कटनीको चाड मान्‍नू । खेतहरूबाट तिमीहरूले अन्‍न बटुल्दा वर्षको अन्त्यमा तिमीहरूले अन्‍न भित्र्याउने चाड मनाओ ।

And [the] festival of the harvest [the] first-fruits of work your which you will sow in the field and [the] festival of the ingathering when goes out the year when gathering you work your from the field.

17 तिमीहरूका सबै पुरुष हरेक वर्ष तिन पटक परमप्रभुको सामु देखा पर्नू ।

Three times in the year he will present himself every male your to [the] presence of the lord - Yahweh.

18 मलाई चढाउने बलिको रगत खमिर हालेको रोटीसितै नचढाओ । मेरा चाडहरूमा चढाइने बलिदानहरूको बोसो रातभरि रहेर बिहानसम्म रहनुहुँदैन ।

Not you must sacrifice with leaven [the] blood of sacrifice my and not it will remain overnight [the] fat of festival sacrifice my until morning.

19 तिमीहरूले मेरो घर अर्थात् परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको घरमा अगौटे फलहरूमध्ये सबैभन्दा असलचाहिँ ल्याउनू । बाख्राको पाठो त्यसको माउको दूधमा नपकाओ ।

[the] beginning of [the] first-fruits of Ground your you will bring [the] house of Yahweh God your not you must boil a kid in [the] milk of mother its.

20 बाटोमा तिमीहरूको सुरक्षा दिन र मैले तिमीहरूका निम्ति तयार पारिराखेको ठाउँमा तिमीहरूलाई ल्याउन म तिमीहरूका अगिअगि एउटा दूत पठाउनेछु ।

Here! I [am] about to send an angel before you to guard you on the journey and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.

21 तिनको कुरा सुनी तिनको आज्ञा पालन गर । तिनलाई नचिढ्याओ किनकि तिनले तिमीहरूका अपराधहरू क्षमा दिनेछैनन् । तिनैमा मेरो नाउँ छ ।

Take care from before him and listen to voice his may not you cause bitterness in him for not he will forgive to transgression your for name my [is] within him.

22 तिमीहरूले वास्तवमै तिनका आज्ञा मान्यौ र मैले भनेका हरेक कुरा गर्‍यौ भने म तिमीहरूका शत्रुहरूका शत्रु हुनेछु र तिमीहरूका वैरीहरूका वैरी हुनेछु ।

That except carefully you will listen to voice his and you will do all that I will say and I will be an enemy to enemies your and I will be a foe to opposers your.

23 मेरा दूत तिमीहरूका अगिअगि जानेछन् र तिनले तिमीहरूलाई एमोरी, हित्ती, परिज्‍जी, कनानी, हिव्वी र यबूसीहरूकहाँ ल्याउनेछन् । म तिनीहरूलाई नष्‍ट गर्नेछु ।

For he will go angel my before you and he will bring you to the Amorite[s] and the Hittite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Canaanite[s] the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s] and I will annihilate it.

24 तिमीहरू तिनीहरूका देवी-देवताहरूको सामु ननिहरनू, तिनीहरूको पूजा नगर्नू न त तिनीहरूले गरेजस्तै गर्नू । बरु तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई बिलकुलै नाश गरिदिनू र तिनीहरूका ढुङ्गाका मूर्तिहरूलाई टुक्राटुक्रा पारिदिनू ।

Not you must bow down to gods their and not you must be enticed to serve them and not you must make like works their for completely you will tear down them and totally you will shatter into pieces sacred pillars their.

25 तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको आराधना गर्नू, अनि उहाँले तिमीहरूका अन्‍न र पानीमा आशिष् दिनुहुनेछ । म तिमीहरूका बिचबाट रोग हटाइदिनेछु ।

And you will serve Yahweh God your and he will bless food your and water your and I will remove sickness from midst your.

26 तिमीहरूको देशमा कुनै पनि स्‍त्री बाँझी हुनेछैन न त कसैको गर्भ तुहिनेछ ।

Not anyone will be miscarrying and barren in land your [the] number of days your I will complete.

27 म तिमीहरूलाई दीर्घायु दिनेछु । तिमीहरू अगाडि बढ्ने देशमा म मेरो डर अगिअगि पठाउनेछु । म तिमीहरूले भेट्ने सबै मानिसलाई मार्नेछु । म तिमीहरूका सबै शत्रुलाई तिमीहरूको डरको कारणले भगाउनेछु ।

Terror my I will send before you and I will confuse every people which you will go among them and I will give all enemies your to you neck.

28 म तिमीहरूका अगिअगि अरिङ्गालहरू पठाउनेछु जसले हिव्वी, कनानी र हित्तीहरूलाई तिमीहरूभन्दा अगाडि नै धपाउनेछन् ।

And I will send the hornet before you and it will drive out the Hivite[s] the Canaanite[s] and the Hittite[s] from to before you.

29 म तिनीहरूलाई एकै वर्षमा तिमीहरूको सामुन्‍नेबाट धपाउनेछैनँ, नत्रता देश उजाड हुनेछ र जङ्गली जनावरहरू तिमीहरूका निम्ति अत्यधिक हुनेछन् ।

Not I will drive out it from before you in a year one lest it should become the land a waste and it will become many on you [the] animal[s] of the field.

30 बरु, तिमीहरूको वृद्धि भई तिमीहरू देशमा नभरिएसम्म म तिनीहरूलाई तिमीहरूकै सामु अलिअलि गरेर धपाउनेछु ।

Little little I will drive out it from before you until that you will be fruitful and you will possess the land.

31 नर्कटहरूको समुद्रदेखि पलिश्तिहरूको समुद्रसम्म र उजाड-स्थानदेखि यूफ्रेटिस नदीसम्म म तिमीहरूका सिमाना तोकिदिनेछु । त्यस देशका बासिन्दाहरूमाथि म तिमीहरूलाई विजय दिनेछु । तिमीहरूले तिमीहरूकै सामु तिनीहरूलाई धपाउनेछौ ।

And I will fix border your from [the] sea of reed[s] and to [the] sea of [the] Philistines and from [the] wilderness to the River for - I will give in hand your [the] inhabitants of the land and you will drive out them from before you.

32 तिनीहरूसित वा तिनीहरूका देवी-देवताहरूसित करार नबाँध्‍नू ।

Not you must make to them and to gods their a covenant.

33 तिनीहरू तिमीहरूको देशमा बस्‍नुहुँदैन नत्रता तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई मेरो विरुद्धमा पाप गर्न लगाउनेछन् । तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूका देवी-देवताहरूलाई पुजा गर्‍यौ भने निश्‍चय नै यो तिमीहरूका लागि पासो हुनेछ ।”

Not they will dwell in land your lest they should cause to sin you to me for you will serve gods their for it will become for you a snare.
