Deuteronomy 4
1 “And now, O Israel, listen to the precepts and judgments which I am teaching to you, so that, by doing these, you may live, and you may enter and possess the land, which the Lord, the God of your fathers, will give to you.
अब हे इस्राएली हो, मैले तिमीहरूलाई सिकाउनै लागेका विधिविधानहरूलाई सुन । तिनको पालन गरी तिमीहरू जीवित होऊ र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिन लाग्नुभएको देशमा गएर त्यसलाई अधिकार गर ।
2 You shall not add to the word which I speak to you, neither shall you take away from it. Preserve the commandments of the Lord your God which I am teaching to you.
मैले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेका वचनहरूमा नथप्नू न त तीबाट घटाउनू ताकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिन लाग्नुभएका आज्ञाहरू तिमीहरूले पालन गर्न सक ।
3 Your eyes have seen all that the Lord has done against Baal-peor, in what manner he has crushed all of his worshippers from among you.
बाल-पोरको कारणले परमप्रभुले के गर्नुभयो, त्यो तिमीहरूका आँखाले देखेका छन् । पोरको बाल देवतालाई पछ्याउने सबै मानिसलाई परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूकै बिचबाट नष्ट पारिदिनुभयो ।
4 But you who adhere to the Lord your God are all still alive, to the present day.
तर परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरसित टाँसिनेहरूमध्ये हरेक आज जीवित छ ।
5 You know that I have taught you precepts as well as justices, just as the Lord my God has commanded me. And so shall you do in the land that you will possess.
हेर, परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्वरले मलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ मैले तिमीहरूलाई विधिविधानहरू सिकाएको छु, कि तिमीहरूले अधिकार गर्न लागिरहेको देशमा तिमीहरू प्रवेश गर्दा तिमीहरूले ती पालन गर्नुपर्छ ।
6 And you shall observe and fulfill these in practice. For this is your wisdom and understanding in the sight of the peoples, so that, upon hearing all these precepts, they may say: ‘Lo, a wise and understanding people, a great nation.’
त्यसकारण ती मान र पालन गर । किनकि जाति-जातिहरूको दृष्टिमा यो तिमीहरूको बुद्धि र समझशक्ति हुने छ जसले यी सबै विधिविधानको बारेमा सुनेर यसो भन्ने छन्, 'निश्यच नै, यो महान् जाति बुद्धिमानी र समझशक्ति भएको जाति रहेछ ।'
7 Neither is there any other nation so great, which has its gods so near to them, as our God is present to all our petitions.
किनकि हामीले जहिलेसुकै पुकारा गर्दा हाम्रा परमप्रभु परमेश्वर जत्ति नजिक हुनुहुन्छ, त्यति अर्को कुन जातिको ईश्वर नजिक छ?
8 For what other nation is there so renowned as to have ceremonies, and just judgments, and the entire law that I will set forth today before your eyes?
आज मैले तिमीहरूका सामु राखिरहेको यो व्यवस्थाजस्तै धार्मिक विधिविधान भएको कुनचाहिँ अर्को महान् जाति छ?
9 And so, guard yourself and your soul carefully. You should not forget the words that your eyes have seen, and do not let them be cut away from your heart, throughout all the days of your life. You shall teach them to your sons and to your grandsons,
केवल ध्यान देओ र आ-आफूलाई होसियारीपूर्वक पहरा देओ ताकि तिमीहरूका आँखाले देखेका कुराहरू तिमीहरूले नबिर्स र तिमीहरूका जीवनभरि ती तिमीहरूका ह्रदयबाट नजाऊन् । बरु, ती तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीहरू र नातिनातिनाहरूलाई सिकाओ ।
10 from the day on which you stood before the Lord your God at Horeb, when the Lord spoke to me, saying: ‘Gather the people to me, so that they may listen to my words, and may learn to fear me, throughout all the time that they are alive on earth, and so that they may teach their children.’
होरेबमा तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको सामु उभिएको दिनमा परमप्रभुले मलाई यसो भन्नुभयो, 'मानिसहरूलाई जम्मा गर् र म तिनीहरूलाई मेरा वचन सुन्ने बनाउने छु ताकि यस पृथ्वीमा तिनीहरू बाचुञ्जेलसम्म तिनीहरूले मेरो भय मान्न सिकून् र तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीहरूलाई सिकाउन सकून् ।'
11 And you approached the base of the mountain, which was burning even toward heaven. And there was a darkness upon it, and a cloud, and a mist.
तिमीहरू पर्वतको फेदको नजिक आएर उभियौ । पर्वतमा आगो दन्केर आकाशको बिचसम्मै पुग्यो, अनि बाक्लो अन्धकार र बादल छायो ।
12 And the Lord spoke to you from the midst of fire. You heard the voice of his words, but you did not see any form at all.
आगोको बिचबाट परमप्रभु तिमीहरूसित बोल्नुभयो । तिमीहरूले बोलिएको वचनको आवाज सुन्यौ तर त्यहाँ तिमीहरूले कुनै स्वरूप देखेनौ । तिमीहरूले आवाज मात्रै सुन्यौ ।
13 And he revealed his covenant to you, which he instructed you to carry out, and the ten words which he wrote on two tablets of stone.
उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई तिमीहरूले पालन गर्नुपर्ने उहाँको करार अर्थात् दस आज्ञाको घोषणा गर्नुभयो । उहाँले तिनलाई दुईवटा शिला-पाटीमा लेख्नुभयो ।
14 And he commanded me, at that time, that I should teach you the ceremonies and judgments which you must carry out, in the land that you shall possess.
तिमीहरूलाई विधिविधानहरू सिकाउन त्यस बेला परमप्रभुले मलाई आज्ञा दिनुभयो ताकि पारि गएर तिमीहरूले अधिकार गर्न लागिरहेको देशमा ती पालन गर्न सक ।
15 And so, guard your souls carefully. You saw no likeness on the day that the Lord God spoke to you on Horeb from the midst of fire.
त्यसैले तिमीहरूले आ-आफूलाई ध्यान देओ किनकि त्यस दिन होरेबमा परमप्रभु आगोको बिचबाट तिमीहरूसित बोल्नुहुँदा तिमीहरूले कुनै स्वरूप देखेनौ ।
16 Otherwise, perhaps being deceived, you might have made a graven image, or an image of male or female,
कुनै पुरुष वा स्त्रीको स्वरूपमा वा खोपेर कुनै पनि प्रतिमा बनाएर वा
17 a likeness of any of the beasts, which are upon the earth, or of birds, which fly under heaven,
पृथ्वीमा कुनै पशुको स्वरूप वा आकाशमा उड्ने कुनै चराचुरुङ्गी वा
18 or of reptiles, which move across the earth, or of fish, which abide in the waters under the earth.
भुइँमा घस्रने कुनै पनि प्राणी वा पृथ्वीमुनि पानीमा भएको कुनै पनि माछाको प्रतिमा बनाएर तिमीहरूले आफूलाई भ्रष्ट नपार ।
19 Otherwise, perhaps lifting up your eyes to heaven, you might look upon the sun and the moon and all the stars of heaven, and being deceived by error, you might adore and worship these things, which the Lord your God created for the service of all the nations, which are under heaven.
पुरै आकाशमुनि सबै जातिलाई परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले दिनुभएका सूर्य, चन्द्रमा वा ताराहरूसाथै सबै आकाशीय पिण्डहरू देखेर तिनको पुजा आराधना गर्न आफ्ना आँखा माथि नउठाओ ।
20 But the Lord has taken you up, and led you away from the iron furnaces of Egypt, in order to have a people of inheritance, just as it is to the present day.
तर परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई उहाँको आफ्नै निज सम्पत्ति (जस्तो आज तिमीहरू छौ) बनाउन आगोको भट्टी अर्थात् मिश्रबाट निकालेर ल्याउनुभएको छ ।
21 And the Lord became angry against me because of your words, and he swore that I would not cross over the Jordan, nor enter into the excellent land, which he will give to you.
तिमीहरूका कारणले परमप्रभु मसित रिसाउनुभयो । म यर्दनपारि जान नपाउने र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले सम्पत्तिको रूपमा तिमीहरूलाई दिनुहुने देशमा जान नपाउने गरी उहाँले शपथ खानुभयो ।
22 Behold, I shall die on this soil. I shall not cross over the Jordan. You shall cross it, and you shall possess the singular land.
बरु, म यस देशमै मर्नुपर्छ । म यर्दनपारि जान पाउने छैनँ । तर तिमीहरू त्यस असल देशमा गएर त्यसको अधिकार गर्ने छौ ।
23 Be careful, lest you at some time forget the covenant of the Lord your God, which he has formed with you, and lest you make for yourselves a graven likeness of those things which the Lord has prohibited to be made.
सावधान बस ताकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूसित बाँध्नुभएको करार तिमीहरूले नभुल र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई निषेध गर्नुभएको कुनै पनि कुराको प्रतिमूर्ति नबनाओ ।
24 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर भस्म पार्ने आगो र डाही परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ ।
25 When you will have conceived sons and grandsons while abiding in the land, and if, having been deceived, you make for yourselves any likeness, accomplishing evil in the sight of the Lord your God, so as to provoke him to wrath,
तिमीहरूले छोराछोरीहरू र नातिनातिनाहरू जन्माइसकेपछि तिमीहरू लामो समयसम्म त्यस देशमा बस्दा तिमीहरूले आफूलाई भ्रष्ट पारी खोपेर कुनै पनि कुराको प्रतिमूर्ति बनाएर परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको दृष्टिमा दुष्ट काम गरी उहाँलाई चिढ्यायौ भने म आज स्वर्ग र पृथ्वीलाई तिमीहरूका विरुद्धमा साक्षी राख्दछु,
26 I call heaven and earth as witnesses this day, that you shall quickly perish from the land, which, when you have crossed over the Jordan, you will possess. You will not live in it for a long time; instead, the Lord will destroy you.
कि जुन देश अधिकार गर्न तिमीहरू यर्दनपारि जाँदै छौ त्यस देशबाट तिमीहरू चाँडै नै पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट हुने छौ । त्यहाँ तिमीहरू लामो समयसम्म बाँच्ने छैनौ, तर तिमीहरू पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट हुने छौ ।
27 And he will scatter you among all the nations, and few of you will remain among those nations, to which the Lord will lead you.
परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई जाति-जातिहरूका बिचमा तितर-बितर पारिदिनुहुने छ, र उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई धपाउनुभएका जातिहरूका बिचमा तिमीहरूको सङ्ख्या थोरै हुने छ ।
28 And there, you will serve gods which were fabricated by the hands of men: gods of wood and of stone, who neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
त्यहाँ तिमीहरूले मानिसहरूका हातले बनाइएका काठ र ढुङ्गाका अन्य देवताहरूको सेवा गर्ने छौ जसले न देख्छन् न सुन्छन् न खान्छन् न त सुँघ्छन् ।
29 And when you will seek the Lord your God in that place, you shall find him, if only you seek him with all your heart, and in all the tribulation of your soul.
तर त्यहीँबाट नै तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको खोजी गर्ने छौ र तिमीहरूका सारा ह्रदय र सारा प्राणले उहाँको खोजी गर्दा तिमीहरूले उहाँलाई भेट्टाउने छौ ।
30 After all these things which have been foretold have found you, in the end time, you shall return to the Lord your God, and you will hear his voice.
ती पछिल्ला दिनमा तिमीहरू सङ्कष्टमा हुँदा र यी सबै कुरा तिमीहरूमा आइपर्दा तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरमा फर्की उहाँको आवाज सुन्ने छौ ।
31 For the Lord your God is a merciful God. He will not abandon you, nor will he entirely destroy you, nor will he forget the covenant, which he swore to your fathers.
किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर कृपालु हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई त्याग्नुहुने छैन न त नष्ट गर्नुहुने छ न तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूसित बाँध्नुभएको करारलाई भुल्नुहुने छ ।
32 Inquire concerning the days of antiquity, which were before you, from the day when God created man upon the earth, from one end of heaven to another, if anything similar has ever occurred, or whether any such thing has ever been known,
अब के पहिले कहिल्यै यस्तो महान् घटना भएको थियो वा यस्तो कहिल्यै सुनिएको थियो? तिमीहरूभन्दा अगि बितेका दिनहरू अर्थात् परमेश्वरले पृथ्वीमा मानिस सृजनुभएको दिनको बारेमा सोधपुछ गर । आकाशको एक छेउदेखि अर्को छेउसम्म सोधपुछ गर ।
33 that a people would hear the voice of God, speaking from the midst of fire, just as you have heard it, and live,
तिमीहरूले सुनेजस्तै आगोको बिचबाट परमेश्वर बोल्नुभएको सुनेर के कुनै जाति कहिल्यै जीवित भएको छ?
34 whether God has acted so as to enter and take for himself a nation from the midst of the nations, by means of tests, signs, and wonders, by means of fighting, and a strong hand, and an outstretched arm, and terrible visions, in accord with all the things which the Lord your God has accomplished for you in Egypt, in the sight of your eyes.
वा मिश्रमा तिमीहरूका आँखाकै सामुन्ने परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले गर्नुभएझैँ परीक्षा, चिन्ह, आश्चार्य, लडाइँ, शक्तिशाली हात, पसारिएको पाखुरा र महान् त्रासहरूद्वारा अर्को जातिको बिचबाट आफ्नो लागि एउटा जातिलाई लिएर आउन के परमेश्वरले कहिल्यै कोसिस गर्नुभएको छ?
35 So may you know that the Lord himself is God, and there is no other beside him.
तिमीहरूलाई नै यी कुराहरू देखाइए ताकि तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु नै परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ र उहाँबाहेक अरू कोही ईश्वर छैन भनी तिमीहरूले जान्न सक ।
36 He has caused you to hear his voice from heaven, so that he might teach you. And he showed you his exceedingly great fire on earth, and you heard his words from the midst of the fire.
तिमीहरूलाई निर्देशन दिन उहाँले स्वर्गबाट आफ्नो आवाज तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभयो । पृथ्वीमा उहाँले आफ्नो दन्कने आगो तिमीहरूलाई देखाउनुभयो । तिमीहरूले आगोको बिचबाट उहाँका वचन सुन्यौ ।
37 For he loved your fathers, and he chose their offspring after them. And he led you away from Egypt, advancing before you with his great power,
उहाँले तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूलाई प्रेम गर्नुभएकाले उहाँले तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरूलाई चुन्नुभयो अनि उहाँको उपस्थिति र महाशक्तिसहित तिमीहरूलाई मिश्रबाट ल्याउनुभयो ।
38 so as to wipe away, upon your arrival, nations, very great and stronger than you, and so as to lead you in, and to present to you their land as a possession, just as you discern in the present day.
उहाँले तिमीहरूकै सामु तिमीहरूभन्दा शक्तिशाली र महान् जातिलाई धपाइदिनुभयो ताकि तिमीहरूलाई भित्र ल्याई सम्पत्तिको रूपमा तिनीहरूको देश दिन सकून् जस्तो आज उहाँले गर्नुभएको छ ।
39 Therefore, know on this day and consider in your heart, that the Lord himself is God in heaven above, and on earth below, and there is no other.
त्यसकारण आज यो जान र ह्रदयमा राख कि परमप्रभु नै माथि स्वर्ग र तल पृथ्वीमा परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ र अरू कोही छैन ।
40 Keep his precepts and commandments, which I am teaching to you, so that it may be well with you, and with your sons after you, and so that you may remain for a long time upon the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.”
आज मैले तिमीहरूलाई दिएका विधिविधानहरू तिमीहरूले पालन गर ताकि तिमीहरू र तिमीहरू पछि आउने तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीहरूको भलो होस् अनि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले सदाको निम्ति तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएको देशमा तिमीहरूको आयु लामो होस् ।”
41 Then Moses set aside three cities, across the Jordan toward the eastern region,
तब मोशाले यर्दनको पूर्वपट्टि तिनवटा सहर छाने
42 so that anyone might flee to these if he has killed his neighbor unwillingly, who was not his enemy a day or two earlier, and so that he would be able to escape to one of these cities:
ताकि कुनै पनि व्यक्तिले पहिले दुश्मनी नभएका अर्को व्यक्तिलाई अजान अवस्थामा मारेको खण्डमा त्यहाँ भागेर जान सकोस् । यी सहरमध्ये कुनै एउटामा भागेर त्यसले आफ्नो ज्यान बचाउन सक्थ्यो ।
43 Bezer in the wilderness, which is situated in the plains of the tribe of Ruben; and Ramoth in Gilead, which is in the tribe of Gad; and Golan in Bashan, which is in the tribe of Manasseh.
यी सहरहरू यिनै थिएः रूबेनीहरूका लागि उजाड-स्थानमा मैदानको बेसेर, गादीहरूका लागि गिलादको रामोत र मनश्शेका सन्तानहरूका लागि बाशानको गोलान ।
44 This is the law, which Moses set forth before the sons of Israel.
मोशाले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका सामु राखिदिएको व्यवस्था यही हो ।
45 And these are the testimonies and ceremonies as well as judgments, which he spoke to the sons of Israel, when they departed from Egypt,
इस्राएलीहरू मिश्रबाट आउँदा तिनले तिनीहरूलाई दिएका करारका आज्ञाहरू, व्यवस्थाहरू र अन्य आज्ञाहरू यी नै हुन् ।
46 across the Jordan, in the valley opposite the shrine of Peor, in the land of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, whom Moses struck down. Accordingly, the sons of Israel, having departed from Egypt,
तिनीहरू हेश्बोनमा बस्ने एमोरीहरूका राजा सीहोनको देश बेथ-पोरको सामुन्ने यर्दनको पूर्वपट्टि छँदा मोशाले यी आज्ञाहरू दिएका थिए । मोशा र इस्राएलीहरू मिश्रबाट आउँदा तिनले यी राजालाई हराएका थिए ।
47 possessed his land, and the land of Og, the king of Bashan, the land of the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun:
तिनीहरूले तिनको देश र बाशानका राजा ओगको देशमाथि अधिकार गरे । यी एमोरीहरूका दुई राजा थिए जो यर्दनपारि पूर्वपट्टि बस्थे ।
48 from Aroer, which is situated above the bank of the torrent Arnon, as far as Mount Zion, which is also called Hermon,
यो क्षेत्र अर्नोनको बेँसीको छेउमा रहेको अर्नोनदेखि सियोन पर्वत (अर्थात् हेर्मोन पर्वत) सम्म
49 the entire plain across the Jordan, from its eastern region, as far as the sea of the wilderness, and even to the base of Mount Pisgah.
र यर्दनपारि पूर्वपट्टि यर्दन नदीको बेँसीको मैदानका सबै भूभागदेखि अराबाको समुद्रसम्म र पिसगा टापुको भिरसम्म पर्थ्यो ।
