Deuteronomy 12

1 These are the laws and the decisions which you are to keep with care in the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you to be your heritage all the days of your life on earth.

परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई अधिकार गर्न दिनुभएको देशमा तिमीहरू बाँचुञ्‍जेलसम्म तिमीहरूले मान्‍नुपर्ने विधिविधानहरू यिनै हुन् ।

2 You are to give up to the curse all those places where the nations, whom you are driving out, gave worship to their gods, on the high mountains and the hills and under every green tree:

जुन जातिहरूलाई तिमीहरूले पराजित गर्छौ तिनीहरूले अग्ला पर्वतहरू, डाँडाहरू र हरेक हरियो रुखमुनि पुजा गर्ने तिनीहरूका देवताहरूलाई निश्‍चय नै नष्‍ट पारिदिनू ।

3 Their altars and their pillars are to be broken down, and their holy trees burned with fire, and the images of their gods cut down; you are to take away their names out of that place.

तिनीहरूका वेदीहरू भत्काइदिनू र तिनीहरूका ढुङ्गाका मूर्तिहरूलाई टुक्राटुक्रा पारिदिनू र तिनीहरूका अशेरा देवीका खम्बाहरू जलाइदिनू । खोपेर बनाइएका तिनीहरूका देवताका मूर्तिहरू काटिदिनू र त्यस ठाउँबाट तिनीहरूका नाउँ मेटिदिनू ।

4 Do not so to the Lord your God.

तिमीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरलाई त्यसरी आराधना नगर्नू ।

5 But let your hearts be turned to the place which will be marked out by the Lord your God, among your tribes, to put his name there;

तर जुन ठाउँ परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले आफ्नो नाउँ राख्‍न तिमीहरूका सबै कुलबाट चुन्‍नुहुन्छ त्यही नै त्यो ठाउँ हुने छ जहाँ तिमीहरू बस्छौ र त्यहीँ नै तिमीहरू जाने छौ ।

6 And there you are to take your burned offerings and other offerings, and the tenth part of your goods, and the offerings to be lifted up to the Lord, and the offerings of your oaths, and those which you give freely from the impulse of your hearts, and the first births among your herds and your flocks;

त्यहीँ नै तिमीहरूले आफ्ना होमबलि, भेटी, दशांश, तिमीहरूका हातका भेटी, भाकलका भेटी, स्वैच्छिक भेटी र तिमीहरूका गाईवस्तु र भेडा-बाख्राका पहिले जन्मेकाहरूलाई ल्याउने छौ ।

7 There you and all your families are to make a feast before the Lord your God, with joy in everything to which you put your hand, because the Lord has given you his blessing.

त्यहीँ नै तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको सामु खाने छौ र तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका घरानाहरूले हात लगाएका हरेक कुराको बारेमा आनन्द मनाउने छौ जहाँ परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुभएको छ ।

8 You are not to do things then in the way in which we now do them here, every man as it seems right to him:

आज यहाँ हामीले गरिरहेका कुनै पनि कुरा नगर्नू । अहिले हरेकलाई आफ्नो दृष्‍टिमा जे ठिक लाग्छ, त्यसले त्यही गरिरहेको छ ।

9 For you have not come to the rest and the heritage which the Lord your God is giving you.

किनकि तिमीहरू अझै पनि विश्राम अर्थात् परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुहुने उत्तराधिकारमा आएका छैनौ ।

10 But when you have gone over Jordan and are living in the land which the Lord your God is giving you as your heritage, and when he has given you rest from all those on every side who are fighting against you, and you are living there safely;

तर जब तिमीहरू यर्दन पारी जान्छौ र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई सम्पत्तिको रूपमा दिनुहुने देशमा बस्छौ तब उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई तिमीहरूका चारैतिर भएका सबै शत्रुबाट विश्राम दिनुहुने छ ताकि तिमीहरू सुरक्षितसाथ बस्‍न सक ।

11 Then there will be a place marked out by the Lord your God as the resting-place for his name, and there you will take all the things which I give you orders to take: your burned offerings and other offerings, and the tenth part of your goods, and the offerings to be lifted up, and the offerings of your oaths which you make to the Lord;

अनि जुन ठाउँमा परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले आफ्नो नाउँ राख्‍न छान्‍नुहुन्छ त्यहीँ नै मैले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिने हरेक थोक ल्याओ अर्थात् तिमीहरूका होमबलि, भेटी, दशांश र तिमीहरूका हातका भेटी, परमप्रभुको निम्ति तिमीहरूले चढाउने भाकलका सबै स्वैच्छिक भेटी ल्याओ ।

12 And you will be glad before the Lord your God, you and your sons and your daughters, and your men-servants and your women-servants, and the Levite who is with you in your house, because he has no part or heritage among you.

तिमीहरू, तिमीहरूका छोराहरू, तिमीहरूका छोरीहरू, तिमीहरूका कमारा-कमारीहरू र तिमीहरूका सहरभित्र हुने लेवीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको सामु रमाउने छौ । तिमीहरूका बिचमा बस्‍ने लेवीहरूसित कुनै हिस्सा वा सम्पत्ति हुँदैन ।

13 Take care that you do not make your burned offerings in any place you see:

तिमीहरूका होमबलिहरू तिमीहरूले देख्‍ने हरेक ठाउँमा नचढाउन होसियार बस ।

14 But in the place marked out by the Lord in one of your tribes, there let your burned offerings be offered, and there do what I have given you orders to do.

तर परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूका कुलबाट छान्‍नुहुने एउटा ठाउँमा तिमीहरूले आफ्ना होमबलिहरू चढाउनू र त्यहीँ नै मैले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेका हरेक कुरा गर्नू ।

15 Only you may put to death animals, such as the gazelle or the roe, for your food in any of your towns, at the desire of your soul, in keeping with the blessing of the Lord your God which he has given you: the unclean and the clean may take of it.

तथापि, परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएको आशिष्‌लाई स्वीकार गरी तिमीहरूलाई इच्छा लागेअनुसार तिमीहरूका सहरहरूभित्र तिमीहरूले पशु मारेर खान सक्छौ । हरिण र मृगजस्ता प्राणीका मासुहरू शुद्ध र अशुद्ध दुवै थरीका मानिसहरूले खान सक्छन् ।

16 But you may not take the blood for food, it is to be drained out on the earth like water.

तर तिमीहरूले रगतचाहिँ नखाओ । यसलाई पानीझैँ भुइँमा पोखाइदेओ ।

17 In your towns you are not to take as food the tenth part of your grain, or of your wine or your oil, or the first births of your herds or of your flocks, or anything offered under an oath, or freely offered to the Lord, or given as a lifted offering;

तिमीहरूको अन्‍न, नयाँ मद्य, तेल, गाईवस्तु वा भेडा-बाख्राका पहिले जन्मेकाहरूको दशांश तिमीहरूले सहरहरूभित्र खानुहुँदैन । तिमीहरूले गर्ने भाकलसँगै चढाउने कुनै पनि बलिदानको मासु नखाओ न त स्वैच्छिक भेटी वा तिमीहरूका हातले चढाउने भेटीबाट खाओ ।

18 But they will be your food before the Lord your God in the place of his selection, where you may make a feast of them, with your son and your daughter, and your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite who is living with you: and you will have joy before the Lord your God in everything to which you put your hand.

बरु, तिमी, तिम्रा छोराछोरी, तिम्रा कमारा-कमारी र तिम्रा सहरहरूभित्र बस्‍ने लेवीहरूले परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले छन्‍नुहुने ठाउँमा तिनलाई खानू । तिमीहरूले हात लगाउने हरेक कुराको बारेमा तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको सामु रमाउने छौ ।

19 See that you do not give up caring for the Levite as long as you are living in your land.

तिमीहरू आफ्नो देशमा बसुञ्‍जेलसम्म लेवीहरूलाई नभुल्नमा ध्यान देओ ।

20 When the Lord your God makes wide the limit of your land, as he has said, and you say, I will take flesh for my food, because you have a desire for it; then you may take whatever flesh you have a desire for.

परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम उहाँले तिमीहरूका सिमानाहरू बढाउनुहुँदा मासु खाने तिमीहरूको इच्छाको कारणले तिमीहरूले 'म मासु खाने छु' भन्दा तिमीहरूले इच्छा लागेअनुसार खान सक्छौ ।

21 If the place marked out by the Lord your God as the resting-place for his name is far away from you, then take from your herds and from your flocks which the Lord has given you, as I have said, and have a meal of it in the towns where you may be living.

परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले आफ्नो नाउँ राख्‍न छान्‍नुहुने ठाउँ तिमीहरूबाट ज्यादै टाढा भयो भने मैले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिएअनुसार परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएका गाईवस्तु र भेडा-बाख्राबाट केहीलाई मार्नू, र तिमीहरूको मनले इच्छा गरेअनुसार तिमीहरूले आफ्ना सहरहरूभित्र तिनलाई खान सक्छौ ।

22 It will be your food, like the gazelle and the roe; the unclean and the clean may take of it.

तिमीहरूले हरिण र मृगलाई खाएझैँ तिनीहरूलाई खान सक्छौ । अशुद्ध र शुद्ध मानिसहरूले समान रूपमा खान सक्छन् ।

23 But see that you do not take the blood for food; for the blood is the life; and you may not make use of the life as food with the flesh.

केवल रगत नखाने कुरामा निश्‍चित होओ किनकि रगत जीवन हो । मासुसँगै जीवन नखाओ ।

24 Do not take it for food but let it be drained out on the earth like water.

तिमीहरूले रगत नखाओ । यसलाई पानीलाई झैँ भुइँमा खन्याइदिनू ।

25 Do not take it for food; so that it may be well for you and for your children after you, while you do what is right in the eyes of the Lord.

तिमीहरूले रगत नखाओ । तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा जे ठिक छ त्यो गर्‍यौ भने तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीहरूको भलो हुने छ ।

26 But the holy things which you have, and the offerings of your oaths, you are to take to the place which will be marked out by the Lord:

तर तिमीहरूसित भएका थोकहरू र भाकलका भेटीहरू जुन परमप्रभुका हुन्, ती लिएर परमप्रभुले छान्‍नुहुने ठाउँमा जाओ ।

27 Offering the flesh and the blood of your burned offerings on the altar of the Lord your God; and the blood of your offerings is to be drained out on the altar of the Lord your God, and the flesh will be your food.

त्यहाँ परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको वेदीमा तिमीहरूले होमबलिसाथै मासु र रगत चढाओ । तिमीहरूका बलिदानको रगत परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको वेदीमा खन्याऊ र मासुचाहिँ तिमीहरूले खाओ ।

28 Take note of all these orders I am giving you and give attention to them, so that it may be well for you and for your children after you for ever, while you do what is good and right in the eyes of the Lord your God.

मैले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेका यी सबै वचनलाई ध्यान दिएर पालन गर ताकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको दृष्‍टिमा तिमीहरूले जे ठिक र असल छ त्यही गर्दा तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीहरूको सदैव भलो होस् ।

29 When the people of the land where you are going have been cut off before you by the Lord your God, and you have taken their land and are living in it;

परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूका सामु ती जातिहरूलाई निष्कासन गर्नुहँदा तिमीहरू त्यहाँ गई तिनीहरूलाई पराजित गर्ने छौ र तिनीहरूको देशमा बस्‍ने छौ ।

30 After their destruction take care that you do not go in their ways, and that you do not give thought to their gods, saying, How did these nations give worship to their gods? I will do as they did.

होसियार बस, कि तिमीहरूका सामु तिनीहरू नष्‍ट गरिएपछि तिनीहरूलाई पछ्याउने पासोमा नपर्नू । 'यी जातिहरूले कसरी तिनीहरूका देवताहरूको पुजा गर्छन् म पनि त्यस्तै गर्ने छु' भन्दै तिनीहरूका देवताहरूको चासो लिने पासोमा नपर्नू ।

31 Do not so to the Lord your God: for everything which is disgusting to the Lord and hated by him they have done in honour of their gods: even burning their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods.

तिमीहरूले त्यसरी परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको आराधना नगर्नू किनकि तिनीहरूले आफ्ना देवताहरूलाई परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा घृणित हरेक कुरो र उहाँले घृणा गर्ने कुराहरू गरेका छन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना छोराछोरीहरू आफ्ना देवताहरूका निम्ति आगोमा होम दिन्छन् ।

32 You are to keep with care all the words I give you, making no addition to them and taking nothing from them.

मैले जे-जे आज्ञा दिन्छु, त्यसको पालन गर । यसमा नथप न त यसबाट हटाउने काम गर ।
