लेवीहरू 19

1 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,

And the Lord said to Moses,

2 “इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको सबै समुदायलाई भन्, ‘म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर पवित्र भएको कारण तिमीहरू पवित्र होओ ।

Say to all the people of Israel, You are to be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy.

3 हरेकले आफ्ना आमा र बुबालाई आदर गर्नू, र मेरो शबाथ पालन गर्नू । म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुँ ।

Let every man give honour to his mother and to his father and keep my Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.

4 मूल्यहीन मूर्तिहरूलाई नपछ्‍याओ, न त आफ्नै निम्ति धातुका ईश्‍वरहरू बनाओ । म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुँ ।

Do not go after false gods, and do not make metal images of gods for yourselves: I am the Lord your God.

5 तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई मेलबलि अर्पण गर्दा तिमीहरू स्वीकारिनको निम्ति त्यो अर्पण गर ।

And when you give a peace offering to the Lord, do it in the way which is pleasing to the Lord.

6 तिमीहरूले अर्पण गर्ने दिनमा वा अर्को दिनमा नै त्यो खाइयोस् । तेस्रो दिनसम्म केही बाँकी रह्‍यो भने, त्यो आगोद्वारा जलाइयोस् ।

Let it be used for food on the same day on which it is offered, or on the day after; and whatever is over on the third day is to be burned with fire.

7 यदि त्यो तेस्रो दिनमा खाइयो भने, त्यो मासु अशुद्ध हो; त्यसलाई ग्रहण गरिनुहुँदैन,

If any of it is used for food on the third day, it is a disgusting thing and will not be pleasing to the Lord.

8 र त्यो जसले खान्छ त्यसले आफ्नो दोष बोकिरहने छ किनभने परमप्रभुको निम्ति जे पवित्र छ त्यो त्यसले अशुद्ध गरेको छ, र त्यो मानिस आफ्ना मानिसहरूबाट बहिष्‍कृत होस् ।

And as for anyone who takes it for food, his sin will be on him, for he has put shame on the holy thing of the Lord: he will be cut off from his people.

9 तिमीहरूले आफ्ना जमिनको कटनी गर्दा पूर्ण रूपमा आफ्ना जमिनको कुना-कुनाहरूमा कटनी नगर्नू, न त आफ्ना फसल सबै बटुल्‍नू ।

And when you get in the grain from your land, do not let all the grain be cut from the edges of the field, or take up what has been dropped on the earth after the getting in of the grain.

10 आफ्नो दाखबारीबाट सबै दाख तिमीहरूले नबटुल्‍नू, न त आफ्ना दाखबारीमा खसेका दाख बटुल्‍नू । तिमीहरूले ती गरिब र परदेशीहरूका निम्ति छोडिदिनू । म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुँ ।

And do not take all the grapes from your vine-garden, or the fruit dropped on the earth; let the poor man, and the man from another country, have these: I am the Lord your God.

11 चोरी नगर्नू । झुटो नबोल्नू । एक-अर्कालाई धोका नदिनू ।

Do not take anyone's property or be false in act or word to another.

12 मेरो नामको झुटो शपथ खाएर तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको नाउँलाई अशुद्ध नतुल्याउनू । म परमप्रभु हुँ ।

And do not take an oath in my name falsely, putting shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord.

13 आफ्नो छिमेकीमाथि दमन नगर्नू वा उसलाई नलुट्‍नू । ज्यालामा काम गर्ने नोकरको पारिश्रमिक रातभर र बिहानसम्म तिमीहरूसँग नरहोस् ।

Do not be cruel to your neighbour or take what is his; do not keep back a servant's payment from him all night till the morning.

14 बहिरोलाई सराप नदिनू वा अन्धाको अगाडि ठेस लाग्‍ने कुरो नराख्‍नू । बरु, तिमीहरूले आफ्ना परमेश्‍वरको भय मान्‍नू । म परमप्रभु हुँ ।

Do not put a curse on those who have no hearing, or put a cause of falling in the way of the blind, but keep the fear of your God before you: I am the Lord.

15 झुटो न्याय नगर्नू । कोही गरिब भएको कारण र कोही महत्त्वपूर्ण भएको कारण तिमीहरूले कसैप्रति पक्षपात नगर्नू । बरु, आफ्नो छिमेकीको सही न्याय गर्नू ।

Do no wrong in your judging: do not give thought to the position of the poor, or honour to the position of the great; but be a judge to your neighbour in righteousness.

16 आफ्ना मानिसहरूका बिचमा निन्‍दा फैलाउँदै नहिँड्नू, तर आफ्नो छिमेकीको प्राण बचाउने कोसिस गर्नू । म परमप्रभु हुँ ।

Do not go about saying untrue things among your people, or take away the life of your neighbour by false witness: I am the Lord.

17 आफ्नो हृदयमा आफ्नो भाइको निम्ति घृणा नराख्‍नू । आफ्नो छिमेकीसँगै पाप नगर्नको निम्ति उसलाई इमानदार भएर हप्‍काउनू ।

Let there be no hate in your heart for your brother; but you may make a protest to your neighbour, so that he may be stopped from doing evil.

18 बदला नलिनू वा आफ्ना मानिसहरूका विरुद्धमा कुनै इख नराख्‍नू, बरु आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई आफैलाई झैँ प्रेम गर्नू । म परमप्रभु हुँ ।

Do not make attempts to get equal with one who has done you wrong, or keep hard feelings against the children of your people, but have love for your neighbour as for yourself: I am the Lord.

19 तिमीहरूले मेरा आज्ञाहरू मान्‍नू । आफ्‍ना पशुहरूलाई अर्कै प्रजातिका पशुसँग मिलन नगराओ । आफ्नो खेतमा दुई प्रकारका बिउहरू नछर । दुई प्रकारको सामग्री मिसिएको कपडा नलगाओ ।

Keep my laws. Do not let your cattle have offspring by those of a different sort; do not put mixed seed into your field; do not put on a robe made of two sorts of cloth.

20 मगनी भएको तर मोल नतिरिएको वा स्वतन्त्र नगराइएको कमारी स्‍त्रीसँग सुत्‍नेलाई दण्ड दिइयोस् । तिनीहरूलाई मृत्युदण्ड नदिनू किनभने त्यो मुक्‍त थिई ।

If any man has sex relations with a servant-woman who has given her word to be married to a man, and has not been made free for a price or in any other way, the thing will be looked into; but they will not be put to death because she was not a free woman.

21 त्यस मानिसले भेट हुने पालको प्रवेशद्वारमा परमप्रभुकहाँ एउटा भेडा दोषबलिको रूपमा ल्याओस् ।

Let him take his offering for wrongdoing to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of meeting; let him give a male sheep as an offering for wrongdoing.

22 त्यसपछि पुजारीले त्यस मानिसको लागि त्यसले गरेको पापको खातिर परमप्रभुको अगि दोषबलिको निम्ति त्यस भेडाद्वारा प्रायश्‍चित्त गर्ने छ । अनि त्यसले गरेको पाप क्षमा हुने छ ।

And the priest will take away his sin before the Lord with the sheep which is offered for his wrongdoing, and he will have forgiveness for the sin which he has done.

23 तिमीहरूले जमिनमा हर प्रकारका रुखहरूलाई फलको निम्ति लगाएपछि तिनीहरूले उत्पादन गरेका फललाई खानको निम्ति मनाही गरिएको मान्‍नू । ती फल तेरो निम्ति खानलाई तिन वर्षसम्म मनाही हुने छ । त्यो नखानू ।

And when you have come into the land, and have put in all sorts of fruit-trees, their fruit will be as if they had not had circumcision, and for three years their fruit may not be used for food.

24 तर चौथो वर्षमा सबै फल परमप्रभुको निम्ति प्रशंसाको बलिदानझैँ पवित्र हुने छ ।

And in the fourth year all the fruit will be holy as a praise-offering to the Lord.

25 पाँचौँ वर्षमा रुखहरूले अझै बढी उत्पादन गरून् भनेर पर्खिसकेपछि तिमीहरू फल खान सक्‍छौ । म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुँ ।

But in the fifth year you may take the fruit and the increase of it for your food: I am the Lord your God.

26 कुनै मासुमा रगत बाँकी छ भने त्यो नखानू । भविष्‍यबारे जान्‍न आत्माहरूसँग सल्लाह नलिनू, र अरूहरूलाई अलौकिक शक्‍तिहरूद्वारा नियन्त्रण गर्ने प्रयास नगर्नू ।

Nothing may be used for food with its blood in it; you may not make use of strange arts, or go in search of signs and wonders.

27 तिमीहरूका कन्‍चेटको कपाल नखुर्कनू वा दाह्रीका कुना-कुना नकाट्नू ।

The ends of the hair round your face and on your chin may not be cut off.

28 मरेको मानिसको निम्ति आफ्नो शरीर नकाट्‍नू वा आफ्नो शरीरमा खोपेर कुनै छाप नबनाउनू । म परमप्रभु हुँ ।

You may not make cuts in your flesh in respect for the dead, or have marks printed on your bodies: I am the Lord.

29 आफ्नी छोरीलाई वेश्‍या बनाएर त्यसको अपमान नगर्नू, नत्रता सारा देश वेश्‍यागमनतिर लाग्‍ला र देश दुष्‍टताले भरिने छ ।

Do not make your daughter common by letting her become a loose woman, for fear that the land may become full of shame.

30 तिमीहरूले मेरो शबाथ मान्‍नू र मेरो पवित्र स्थानको आदर गर्नू । म परमप्रभु हुँ ।

Keep my Sabbaths and have respect for my holy place: I am the Lord.

31 मरेकाहरू वा आत्माहरूसँग बोल्‍नेहरूलाई नपछ्‍याओ । तिनीहरूको खोजी नगर, नत्रता तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई अशुद्ध पार्ने छन् । म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुँ ।

Do not go after those who make use of spirits, or wonder-workers; do not go in their ways or become unclean through them: I am the Lord your God.

32 फुलेका केश भएकाहरूका उपस्थितिमा खडा होओ र वृद्ध मानिसको उपस्थितिलाई आदर गर । तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको भय मान । म परमप्रभु हुँ ।

Get up from your seats before the white-haired, and give honour to the old, and let the fear of your God be before you: I am the Lord.

33 तिमीहरूका देशमा कुनै परदेशी बस्‍दछ भने, त्यसलाई कुनै हानि नगर्नू ।

And if a man from another country is living in your land with you, do not make life hard for him;

34 तिमीहरूसँग बसोबास गर्ने परदेशी तिमीहरूका निम्ति तिमीहरूसँगै बसोबास गर्ने इस्राएलमै जन्‍मेको मानिसझैँ होस्, र त्यसलाई आफैलाई झैँ प्रेम गर्नू, किनभने तिमीहरू पनि मिश्र देशमा परदेशी नै थियौ । म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुँ ।

Let him be to you as one of your countrymen and have love for him as for yourself; for you were living in a strange land, in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

35 लम्बाइ, तौल र सङ्ख्या नाप्‍दा छल नगर्नू ।

Do not make false decisions in questions of yard-sticks and weights and measures.

36 तिमीहरूले ठिक-ठिक तराजु र ढक, र ठिक-ठिक नाप र तौलहरू प्रयोग गर्नू । तिमीहरूलाई मिश्र देशबाट बाहिर ल्याउने म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुँ ।

Have true scales, true weights and measures for all things: I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt;

37 तिमीहरूले मेरा सबै आज्ञाहरू र मेरा सबै विधिविधानहरू मान्‍नू र तीअनुसार चल्‍नू । म परमप्रभु हुँ’ ।”

You are to keep all my rules and my decisions and do them: I am the Lord.
