लेवीहरू 20

1 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 “इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई भन्, ‘इस्राएलका मानिसहरू, वा इस्राएलमा बसोबास गर्ने परदेशीहरूमध्ये कसैले आफ्ना छोराछोरी मोलोखलाई चढाउँछ भने, त्यो मारिनुपर्छ । त्यहाँका मानिसहरूले त्यसलाई ढुङ्गाले हानून् ।

You shall speak these things to the sons of Israel: A man among the sons Israel, or among the newcomers who live in Israel, if he will have given from his seed to the idol Moloch, he shall be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him.

3 त्यसले आफ्नो बालक मोलोखलाई दिएर मेरो पवित्र ठाउँ र पवित्र नाउँ अशुद्ध बनाएको हुनाले म त्यसको विरुद्ध खडा हुने छु र त्यसका मानिसहरूका बिचबाट त्यसलाई बहिष्कार गर्ने छु ।

And I will set my face against him. And I will cut him down from the midst of his people, because he has given from his seed to Moloch, and he has contaminated my Sanctuary, and polluted my holy name.

4 यदि त्यो मानिसले आफ्ना छोराछोरीमध्ये कोही मोलोखलाई चढाउँदा त्यस भूमिका मानिसहरूले आफ्ना आँखा बन्द गरे, र त्यसलाई मृत्युदण्ड दिएनन् भने,

But if the people of the land, having been neglectful and holding little regard for my authority, release the man who has given from his seed to Moloch, and they are not willing to kill him,

5 त्यस मानिस र त्यसको वंशको विरुद्ध म आफै खडा हुने छु, र त्यसलाई र मोलोखसँग वेश्‍यागमन गर्ने सबैलाई बहिष्‍कृत गर्ने छु ।

I will set my face over that man and over his kindred, and I will cut down both him and all who consented with him to fornicate with Moloch, from the midst of their people.

6 मरेकाहरू वा आत्माहरूसँग बोलेर आफैलाई वेश्‍यासरह तुल्‍याउनेहरूलाई पछ्‍याउने मानिसको विरुद्ध म खडा हुने छु र त्यसका मानिसहरूका बिचबाट त्यसलाई बहिष्‍कार गर्ने छु ।

The soul who will have turned aside to astrologers and soothsayers, and who will have fornicated with them, I will set my face against him, and I will destroy him from the midst of his people.

7 त्यसैले आफैलाई अर्पण गर र पवित्र होओ, किनभने म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुँ ।

Be sanctified and be holy, for I am the Lord your God.

8 तिमीहरूले मेरा आज्ञाहरू मानेर ती पालन गर्नू । तिमीहरूलाई पवित्र बनाउने परमप्रभु म नै हुँ ।

Observe my precepts, and do them. I am the Lord, who sanctifies you.

9 आफ्नी आमा वा आफ्नो बुबालाई सराप दिने सबै मारिनुपर्छ । त्यसले आफ्नो बुबा वा आफ्नी आमालाई सरापेको हुनाले त्यो दोषी हुन्छ र त्यो मर्न योग्‍यको हुन्छ ।

Whoever curses his father or mother shall die a death; he has cursed his father and mother. So let his blood be upon him.

10 अर्कै पुरुषको पत्‍नीसँग व्यभिचार गर्ने मानिस अर्थात् आफ्नो छिमेकीकी पत्‍नीसँग व्यभिचार गर्ने त्यो व्यभिचारी मानिस, र व्याभिचारिणी दुवैलाई मारिनुपर्छ ।

If anyone will have committed sexual acts with the wife of another, or will have perpetrated adultery with his neighbor’s spouse, they shall die a death, both the adulterer and the adulteress.

11 आफ्नो बुबाकी पत्‍नीसँग सुत्‍ने मानिसले आफ्नो बुबाको नग्‍नतालाई प्रकट गर्दछ । त्यो छोरा र त्यसको बुबाकी पत्‍नी दुवै मारिनुपर्छ । तिनीहरूको रगत तिनीहरू आफैमाथि पर्ने छ ।

Whoever will have slept with his stepmother, or will have uncovered the shame of his father, they shall both die a death. So let their blood be upon them.

12 यदि कोही मानिस आफ्नी बुहारीसँग सुत्‍यो भने, तिनीहरू दुवै मारिनुपर्छ । तिनीहरूले दुराचरण गरेका हुनाले तिनीहरू दोषी हुन्छन् र तिनीहरू मर्न योग्‍यका हुन्छन् ।

If any man will have slept with his daughter-in-law, both shall die, for they have acted according to wickedness. So let their blood be upon them.

13 कोही पुरुष स्‍त्रीसँग झैँ गरी अर्को पुरुषसँग सुत्‍यो भने, तिनीहरू दुवैले घृणास्पद काम गरेका छन् । तिनीहरू मारिनैपर्छ । तिनीहरू दोषी हुन्छन् र तिनीहरू मर्न योग्‍यका हुन्छन् ।

If any man has slept with a male in place of sexual intercourse with a female, both have committed a nefarious act, they shall die a death. So let their blood be upon them.

14 कोही पुरुषले कुनै स्‍त्री र त्यसकी आमा दुवैलाई विवाह गर्‍यो भने, यो दुष्‍टता हो । त्यो पुरुष र ती दुवै स्‍त्री जलाइनुपर्छ ताकि तिमीहरूका बिचमा कुनै दुष्‍टता नहोस् ।

If any man, having taken the daughter as a wife, will have married her mother, he has acted according to wickedness. He shall be burnt alive with them. Neither shall so great a nefarious act persist in your midst.

15 कोही पुरुषले पशुसँग सहवास गरेमा त्यो मारिनैपर्छ, र तिमीहरूले त्यो पशुलाई पनि मार्नू ।

Whoever will have committed sexual acts with any animal or cattle, he shall die a death. Likewise, you shall slay the beast.

16 कोही स्‍त्री पशुसँग सहवास गर्नलाई त्यसको नजिक गई भने, तिमीहरूले त्यस स्‍त्री र पशु दुवैलाई मार्नू । तिनीहरू निश्‍चय नै मारिनैपर्छ । तिनीहरू दोषी हुन्छन् र मर्न योग्‍यका हुन्छन् ।

The woman who will have lain under any animal at all shall be destroyed together with it. So let their blood be upon them.

17 कोही पुरुषले आफ्नी दिदी-बहिनी, वा आफ्नो बुबा वा आमाकी छोरीसँग सुतेर त्यसको नग्‍नता प्रकट गर्दछ, र त्यसले त्यस पुरुषको नग्‍नता देख्‍दछे भने, यो शर्मको कुरा हो । त्यो आफ्नी दिदी-बहिनीसँग सुतेको कारण तिनीहरू आफ्ना मानिसहरूको उपस्थितिबाट बहिष्‍कृत गरिनुपर्छ । त्यसले आफ्नो दोष बोकिरहने छ ।

Whoever will have taken his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother, and will have seen her nakedness, and she will have looked upon her brother’s shame, they have committed a nefarious act. They shall be slain in the sight of their people, because they have uncovered one another’s nakedness. And they shall bear their iniquity.

18 कोही पुरुष स्‍त्रीको रजस्‍वलाको समयमा त्योसँग सुत्‍यो भने, त्यसले त्यसको रगतको मूल देखाउँदछ । ती पुरुष र स्‍त्री दुवै आफ्ना मानिसहरूबाट बहिष्‍कृत गरिनुपर्छ ।

Whoever has sexual intercourse with a woman in her menstrual flow, and has uncovered her nakedness, and she has opened the fountain of her blood, both shall be destroyed from the midst of their people.

19 आफ्नो बुबा वा आमाकी दिदी-बहिनीसँग नसुत्, किनभने तैँले त्यसो गरेर आफ्नो नजिकको नाताको अपमान गर्ने छस् । तैँले आफ्नो दोष आफै बोक्‍ने छस् ।

You shall not expose the nakedness of your maternal or paternal aunt. Whoever does this has laid bare the shame of his own flesh; both shall bear their iniquity.

20 कोही पुरुष आफ्नी काकीसँग सुत्यो भने, त्यसले आफ्नो काकाको अपमान गर्दछ । तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्नो पापको भार उठाउने छन्, र तिनीहरू निसन्तान नै मर्ने छन् ।

If any man has had sexual intercourse with the wife of his paternal or maternal uncle, and he has uncovered the shame of his close relative, both shall bear their sin. They shall die without children.

21 कोही मानिसले आफ्नो दाजु वा भाइ जीवितै हुँदा त्यसकी पत्‍नीलाई बिहे गर्‍यो भने, त्यो अपमानजनक हो । त्यसले आफ्नो दाजु वा भाइलाई अनादर गर्दछ, र तिनीहरूले आफ्ना आमाबुबाबाट उत्तराधिकारको रूपमा प्राप्‍त गरेका सबै सम्पत्ति तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीबाट म खोसिदिने छु ।

Whoever will have married his brother’s wife has done an unlawful thing; he has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be without children.

22 त्यसैकारण तिमीहरूले मेरा सबै विधिविधानहरू र आज्ञाहरू पालन गर्नू । यी तिमीहरूले पालन गर्नू ताकि तिमीहरूलाई बसोबास गर्नको निम्ति मैले लैजान लागेको भूमिले तिमीहरूलाई नउकेलोस् ।

Observe my laws as well as my judgments, and act according to them, lest the land, into which you will enter and live, may vomit you out, too.

23 तिमीहरूका सामुबाट मैले निष्‍कासन गरेका जातिहरूका रीतिरिवाजहरूमा तिमीहरू नहिँड्नू, किनभने तिनीहरूले यी सबै कुरा गरे, र मैले तिनीहरूलाई घृणा गरेँ ।

Do not be willing to walk by the ordinances of the nations, which I will expel before you. For they have done all these things, and so I abominate them.

24 मैले तिमीहरूलाई भनेँ, “तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूका भूमि उत्तराधिकारमा पाउने छौ । दूध र मह बगिरहने देश म तिमीहरूको अधिकारमा दिने छु । अरू मानिसहरूबाट तिमीहरूलाई अलग गर्ने परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर म नै हुँ ।

But I say to you: Possess their land, which I will give to you as an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God, who has separated you from the other peoples.

25 यसैकारण तिमीहरूले शुद्ध र अशुद्ध पशु, अनि शुद्ध र अशुद्ध पक्षीबिच भेद राख्‍नू । मैले तिमीहरूका निम्ति अशुद्ध भनेर छुट्‍ट्याएको अशुद्ध पशु वा पक्षी वा जमिनमा घस्रने प्राणीद्वारा आफैलाई अशुद्ध नबनाउनू ।

Therefore, you must also separate the clean animals from the unclean, and the clean birds from the unclean. Do not pollute your souls with cattle, or birds, or anything that moves upon the earth, and which I have shown you to be unclean.

26 तिमीहरू पवित्र होओ, किनभने म परमप्रभु पवित्र छु, र मैले तिमीहरूलाई अरू मानिसहरूबाट अलग गरेको छु, किनभने तिमीहरू मेरा हौ ।

You shall be holy unto me, because I, the Lord, am holy, and I have separated you from the other peoples, so that you would be mine.

27 मरेकाहरू वा आत्माहरूसँग बोल्‍ने पुरुष वा स्‍त्री मारिनुपर्छ । मानिसहरूले तिनीहरूलाई ढुङ्गाले हानून् । तिनीहरू दोषी छन् र मर्न योग्‍यका छन् ।’” 20:7 धेरै वर्तमान संस्करणमा यस्तो छः ... किनभने म, परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर पवित्र छु ।

A man or a woman, in whom there is an oracle-like or a divining spirit, shall be put to death. They shall stone them. So let their blood be upon them.
