व्यवस्था 17

1 तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको लागि कुनै पनि खोट लागेको वा खराब भएको बलि नचढाउनू किनकि त्यो परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको लागि घृणित कुरो हुने छ ।

“You shall not immolate to the Lord your God a sheep or an ox, in which there is a blemish or any defect at all; for this is an abomination to the Lord your God.

2 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुहुने कुनै पनि सहरमा परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको दृष्‍टिमा तिमीहरूका बिचमा कुनै पुरुष वा स्‍त्रीले दुष्‍ट काम गर्‍यो भने वा उहाँको करार भङ्ग गर्‍यो भने वा

When there will have been found among you, within one of your gates which the Lord your God will give to you, a man or a woman who is doing evil in the sight of the Lord your God, and who is transgressing his covenant,

3 मैले आज्ञा नगरेको अन्य देवताहरूको पछि लागेर तिनीहरूको पुजा गर्‍यो भने वा सूर्य, चन्द्रमा वा कुनै पनि आकाशीय पिण्डलाई ढोग्यो भने,

so as to go and serve foreign gods and adore them, such as the sun and the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not instructed,

4 र यस बारेमा तिमीहरूलाई बताइयो भने वा तिमीहरूले यस बारेमा सुन्यौ भने तिमीहरूले होसियारीसाथ अनुसन्धान गर्नू । इस्राएलमा त्यस्तो घृणित कुरो गरिएको साँचो र निश्‍चित ठहरियो भने तिमीहरूले गर्नुपर्ने कुरो यही हो ।

and when this will have been reported to you, and, upon hearing it, if you have inquired diligently and have found it to be true, that the abomination is being done in Israel:

5 यस्तो दुष्‍ट काम गर्ने त्यो पुरुष वा स्‍त्रीलाई तिमीहरूले सहरको प्रवेशद्वारमा ल्याएर हरेक पुरुष, स्‍त्री र तिमीहरूले ढुङ्गाले हानेर मार्नू ।

you shall lead forward the man or the woman who has perpetrated this most wicked thing to the gates of your city, and they shall be stoned to death.

6 दुई वा तिन जना साक्षीको आधारमा त्यसलाई मारिने छ । तर एक जना मात्र साक्षीको आधारमा त्यसलाई मारिनुहुँदैन । तिनीहरूलाई मार्न

By the mouth of two or three witnesses, he who is to be put to death shall perish. Let no one be killed with only one person speaking testimony against him.

7 ती साक्षीहरूले पहिले आ-आफ्ना हात उठाऊन् त्यसपछि अरू सबै मानिसले आ-आफ्ना हात उठाऊन् । यसरी तिमीहरूले आफ्ना बिचबाट दुष्‍टतालाई हटाउने छौ ।

First, the hands of the witnesses shall be upon him who will be put to death, and lastly, the hands of the remainder of the people shall be sent forth. So may you take away the evil from your midst.

8 हत्या वा दुर्घटनाबाट भएको मृत्यु वा एउटा वा अर्को व्यक्तिको अधिकार वा एउटा किसिमको हानि वा अर्को किसिमको विषय वा तिमीहरूका बिचमा भएका कुनै पनि वादविवाद मिलाउन तिमीहरूलाई गार्‍हो भयो भने परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले आफ्नो पवित्र वासस्थानको रूपमा छान्‍नुहुने ठाउँमा जानू ।

If you have perceived that there is among you a difficult and doubtful matter of judgment, between blood and blood, cause and cause, leprosy and leprosy, and if you will have seen that the words of the judges within your gates vary: rise up and ascend to the place which the Lord your God will choose.

9 तिमीहरू लेवीका सन्तानहरू अर्थात् त्यस बेला न्यायको लागि सेवा गर्ने पुजारीहरूकहाँ जानू । तिनीहरूका सल्लाह लिनू र तिनीहरूले निर्णय सुनाउने छन् ।

And you shall approach the priests of the Levitical stock, and the judge, who shall be among them at that time, and you shall inquire of them, and they will reveal to you the truth of the judgment.

10 परमप्रभुले आफ्नो पवित्र वासस्थानको रूपमा छान्‍नुहुने ठाउँमा तिमीहरूलाई दिइएको व्यवस्थालाई तिमीहरूले मान्‍नू ।

And you shall accept whatever they will say, those who preside in the place which the Lord will choose, and whatever they will teach you,

11 तिनीहरूले गर्न भनी तिमीहरूलाई निर्देशन दिने हरेक कुरो मान्‍न तिमीहरू होसियार होओ । तिनीहरूले सिकाउने नियमलाई पछ्याउनू, र तिनीहरूले दिएको निर्णयअनुसार गर्नू । तिनीहरूले बताउने कुराबाट दायाँ वा बायाँतिर नतर्कनू ।

in accord with his law, and you shall follow their sentence. Neither shall you turn aside to the right or to the left.

12 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको सामु सेवा गर्न खडा हुने पुजारी वा न्यायकर्ताको कुरा अहङ्कारी भएर नसुन्‍ने व्यक्ति मारिने छ । तिमीहरूले इस्राएलबाट दुष्‍टता हटाओ ।

But whoever will be arrogant, unwilling to obey the order of the priest who ministers at that time to the Lord your God, and the decree of the judge, that man shall die. And so shall you take away the evil from Israel.

13 सबै मानिस यो सुनेर डराउने छन् अनि अब उसो अहङ्कारी हुने छैनन् ।

And when the people hear about this, they shall be afraid, so that no one, from that time on, will swell with pride.

14 तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुहुने देशमा आइपुगेर यसको अधिकार गरेपछि र यसमा बसोबास गर्न थालेपछि तिमीहरूले 'हाम्रा वरिपरि भएका सबै जातिले जस्तै हाम्रो शासन गर्न राजा चुन्‍ने छौँ' भन्यौ भने

When you will have entered into the land which the Lord your God will give to you, and you possess it, and you live in it, and you say, ‘I will appoint a king over me, just as all the surrounding nations have done,’

15 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले चुन्‍नुहुने व्यक्तिलाई तिमीहरूले निश्‍चय नै राजाको रूपमा चुन्‍नू । तिमीहरूका दाजुभाइका बिचबाट नै तिमीहरूले आफ्ना लागि राजा चुन्‍नू । कुनै पनि परदेशीलाई आफ्नो राजा नबनाओ ।

you shall appoint him whom the Lord your God will choose from among the number of your brothers. You cannot make a man of another people king, one who is not your brother.

16 तर ती राजाले आफ्नो लागि घोडाहरूको वृद्धि नगरून् न त घोडाहरूको वृद्धिको लागि मानिसहरूलाई मिश्रमा फर्कन लगाऊन् किनकि 'तिमीहरू त्यसरी फेरि कहिल्यै नजाओ' भनी परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभएको छ ।

And when he will have been appointed king, he shall not multiply horses for himself, nor lead the people back into Egypt, having been exalted by the number of his horsemen, especially since the Lord has instructed you never to return along the same way.

17 तिनले आफ्ना लागि धेरै पत्‍नीहरू नल्याऊन् नत्रता तिनको हृदय बरालिने छ । तिनले सुन र चाँदीको थुप्रो नलगाऊन् ।

He shall not have many wives, who might allure his mind, and he shall not have immense weights of silver and gold.

18 तिनी आफ्नो राज्यको सिंहासनमा बस्दा तिनले पुजारीहरू अर्थात् लेवीहरूको सामु राखिएको व्यवस्थाको प्रतिबाट आफ्नो लागि एक प्रति मुट्ठामा उतारून् ।

Then, after he has been seated upon the throne of his kingdom, he shall write for himself the Deuteronomy of this law in a volume, using a copy from the priests of the Levitical tribe.

19 त्यो मुट्ठा तिनीसितै हुनुपर्छ, र तिनले आफ्नो जीवनभरि यसलाई पढ्नुपर्छ । यसरी तिनले परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्‍वरको आदर गर्न सकून् अनि यस व्यवस्थाको सबै वचन र विधिविधान पालन गर्न सकून् ।

And he shall have it with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, and to keep his words and ceremonies, which are instructed in the law.

20 तिनले आफैलाई आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूभन्दा श्रेष्‍ठ नठानून् र यी आज्ञाहरूबाट तर्केर दायाँ वा बायाँ नलागून् भनेर तिनले यसो गर्नुपर्छ किनकि आफ्नो राज्यमा तिनी र तिनका सन्तानहरूले इस्राएलमा लामो समयसम्म शासन गर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ ।

And so may his heart not become exalted with arrogance over his brothers, nor turn aside to the right or to the left, so that he and his sons may reign for a long time over Israel.”
