लेवीहरू 20

1 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,

YHWH 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 ।

"Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, 'Anyone of the children of Israel, or of the foreigners who sojourn in Israel, who gives any of his offspring to Molech; he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones.

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 ।

I also will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people because he has given of his offspring to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.

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

If the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person, when he gives of his offspring to Molech, and do not put him to death;

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

then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after him, to play the prostitute with Molech, from among 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 person that turns to spirits of the dead, and to familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will even set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.

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

"'Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am YHWH your God.

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

You shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am YHWH 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 ।

"'For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death: he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.

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

"'The man who commits adultery with another man's wife shall surely be put to 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 ।

The man who lies with his father's wife has uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall 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 a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have committed a perversion; their blood shall 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 a man has sexual relations with a male, as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall 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 a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burned with fire, both he and they; that there may be no wickedness among you.

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

"'If a man lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; and you shall kill the animal.

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 ।

"'If a woman approaches any animal, and lies down with it, you shall kill the woman, and the animal: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall 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 ।

"'If a man takes his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness; it is a shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people: he has uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.

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

"'If a man lies with a woman having her monthly period, and uncovers her nakedness; he has made naked her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among 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 uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, nor of your father's sister; for he has made naked his close relative: they 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 a man lies with his uncle's wife, he has uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.

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 ।

"'If a man takes his brother's wife, it is an impurity: he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.

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 ।

"'You shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them; that the land, where I am bringing you to dwell, may not vomit you out.

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

You shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I am casting out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred 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 have said to you, "You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey." I am YHWH your God, who has separated you from the 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 ।

"'You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean: and you shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you.

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 to me: for I, YHWH, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should 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 that is a medium, or is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them.'"
