लेवीहरू 20

1 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो,

And Yahweh spake unto 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 ।

Unto the sons of Israel, therefore shalt thou say, What man soever, there may be of the sons of Israel, or of the sojourners that sojourn in Israel, that giveth of his seed unto 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 man, and will cut him off out of the midst of his people, —because of his seed, hath he given unto Molech, seeing that he hath made unclean my sanctuary, even to the extent of profaning 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, do even hide, their eyes from that man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, —so as not to 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 will I myself, set my face against that man, and against his family, —and will cut him off, and all that follow unchastely after him—in going unchastely after Molech—out of 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 person also that turneth unto mediums and unto oracles, in going unchastely after them, then will I set my face against that person, and will cut him off out of the midst of his people.

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

Therefore shall ye hallow yourselves and be holy, —Because I—Yahweh, am your God.

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

Therefore shall ye observe my statutes, and do them, —I—Yahweh, am he that is hallowing 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 ।

When, any man whatsoever, curseth his father or his mother, he shall surely be put to death, —his father or his mother, hath he cursed, his blood, shall be upon himself.

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

And, any man, who committeth adultery with the wife of any other man, he that committeth adultery with the wife of his neighbour shall surely be put to death—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 ।

And any man who lieth with his father’s wife, the shame of his father, hath uncovered, —they both shall, surely be put to death—their blood shall be upon themselves.

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

And any man who lieth with his daughter-in-law, they both shall, surely be put to death, confusion, have they wrought—their blood shall be upon themselves.

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 ।

And any man who lieth with mankind as with womankind, an abomination, have both of them wrought, —they shall, surely be put to death, —their blood, shall be upon themselves.

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 ।

And, any man, who taketh a woman and her mother, wickedness, it is, —in fire, shall both he and they be consumed, that wickedness be not in your midst.

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

And, any man, who hath carnal knowledge of a beast, shall, surely be put to death, —and, the beast, shall ye slay.

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 ।

And, a woman, who approacheth unto any beast, to couch down thereto, then shalt thou slay the woman and the beast, —they shall surely be put to death, —their blood, shall be upon themselves.

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 ।

And, any man, who taketh his sister—his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter, and vieweth her shame, and, she, vieweth his shame, a disgrace, it is, —they shall therefore be cut off in the sight of the sons of their people, —the shame of his sister, hath he uncovered—his iniquity, shall he bear.

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

And, any man, who lieth with a woman having her sickness, and uncovereth her shame, her fountain, hath he exposed, she, also hath uncovered her fountain of blood, —they shall therefore both be cut off out of 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 ।

And the shame of thy mother’s sister, or of thy father’s sister, shalt thou not uncover, —for his near of kin, hath he exposed—their iniquity, shall they bear.

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 ।

And, any man, who lieth with his uncle’s wife, the shame of his uncle, hath he uncovered, —their sin, shall they bear—childless, shall they die.

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 ।

And, any man, who taketh his brother’s wife, impurity, it is, —the shame of his brother, hath he uncovered—childless, shall they remain.

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 ।

Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes and all my regulations, and do them, —So shall the land whereinto I am bringing you to dwell therein, not vomit you forth;

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

So shall ye not walk in the—statutes of the nations, which I am casting out from before you, —For all these things, had they done, 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 ।

And said unto you—Ye, shall possess their soil, Yea, I myself, will give it you to possess it, A land flowing with milk and honey, —I—Yahweh, am your God, who have distinguished 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 ।

Therefore shall ye make a distinction—Between the clean beasts, and the unclean, —And between the unclean birds and the clean, —So shall ye not make your persons abominable with beast, or with bird or with anything which creepeth upon the ground, which I have distinguished for you, as unclean.

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

Therefore shall ye be unto me, holy persons, for, holy, am, I—Yahweh, —Therefore have I distinguished you from the peoples, that ye may 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 ।

And as touching man or woman, when there shall be in them a familiar spirit, or the spirit of an oracle, they shall, surely be put to death, —with stones, shall they be stoned—their blood, shall be upon themselves.
