Deuteronomy 32
1 321”हे आकाश! सुन, म बोल्नेछु, हे पृथ्वी! मेरो मुखको वचनहरू सुन।
2 मेरा शिक्षाहरू झरी झैं पर्नेछन्। भूइँमा खस्ने तुषारो जस्तै झर्नेछन् नरम घाँसमा पर्ने पानी जस्तै झर्नेछन् हरिया बोटहरूमा पानी झैं पर्नेछन्।
3 किनभने म परमप्रभुको नाउँ घोषणा गर्छ, हाम्रा परमेश्वरको महानताको प्रशंसा गर।
4 “उहाँ चट्टान हुनुहुन्छ कारण उहाँका बाटाहरू सही छन्, परमेश्वर सत्य र विश्वास योग्य हुनुहुन्छ। उहाँ असल र इमानदार हुनुहुन्छ।
5 अनि तिमीहरू उहाँका असली बाल-बच्चाहरू होइनौ, तिमीहरूको पापले उहाँलाई धमिल्याउनेछ, कारण तिमीहरू धूर्त झूटा छौ।
6 के परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूको निम्ति गरेकोमा कृतज्ञता त्यसरी व्यक्त गर्नु पर्छ? होइन, तिमीहरू मूर्ख र बुद्धिहीन हौ। परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका पिता हुनुहुन्छ। उहाँले तिमीहरूको सृष्टि गर्नुभयो। उहाँ तिमीहरूका सृष्टिकर्ता हुनुहुन्छ। उहाँले तिमीलाई समर्थन गर्नुहुन्छ।
7 उहिले नै के भएको थियो सम्झना गर, धेरै-धेरै वर्षअघि भएका कुराहरू सम्झना गर। तिमीहरूका पितालाई सोध तिमीहरूको अगुवाहरूलाई सोध, तिनीहरूले भन्नेछन्।
8 सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरले पृथ्वीमा मानिसहरूलाई विभाजन गरी प्रत्येक जातिलाई आफ्नो आफ्नो भूमि दिनु भयो। परमेश्वरले ती मानिसहरूको निम्ति सीमाना छुट्याउनु भयो, जति स्वर्गदूतहरू थिए उहाँले त्यति जातिको सृष्टि गर्नु भयो।
9 परमप्रभुको निज हिस्सा उहाँका मानिसहरू हुन् याकूब परमप्रभुका हुन्।
10 परमप्रभुले याकूबलाई बीरानो अनि बतासले भरिएको मरूभूमिमा भेटूनुभयो। परमप्रभुले हेर्नको निम्ति याकूबलाई घेर्नु भयो। उहाँले उसलाई आफ्नो आँखाको नानीलाई झैं जोगाउनु भयो।
11 इस्राएलको निम्ति परमप्रभु गरूड झैं हुनु हुन्थ्यो। गरूड्ले उड्न सिकाउनको निम्ति गुँडबाट बच्चाहरूलाई घँचेटेर निकाल्छ, सुरक्षाको निम्ति ऊ आफ्ना बच्चाहरू सँगै उडछे। उसले बच्चाहरूलाई खस्नुबाट जोगाउन आफ्नो पंखेटा फिंजाउँछे। अनि उसले रक्षागर्न को निम्ति सुरक्षित ठाउँमा लिएर जान्छे। परमप्रभु त्यस्तै हुनुहुन्छ।
12 कुनै अरू विदेशी देवताहरूले उसलाई सहायता गरेनन् परमप्रभु एएलैले याकूबको नेतृत्व गर्नु भयो।
13 परमप्रभुले याकूबलाई पहाडी देशलाई कब्जा गर्न लानु भयो अनि याकूबले खेतको उब्जनी लगे। परमप्रभुले उसलाई पहराको मह दिनुभयो, अनि भद्राक्षको तेल चट्टानबाट निकालेर बनाउनु भयो।
14 परमप्रभुले इस्राएललाई गाई-गोरूको बथानबाट र भेडाहरूको बगालबाट घीऊ र दूध दिनु भयो; उहाँले इस्राएललाई मोटा-मोटा थुमाहरू र बाख्राहरू बथानका असल भेडाहरू र अति असल गहुँ दिनुभयो। इस्राएली तिमीहरूले दाखको रातो रस पियौ।
15 तर यशूरून मोटाए अनि गोरूले झैं लात हाने। हो, तिमीहरूलाई प्रशस्त खुवाइयो र मोटा र पुष्ट भयौ, तब उसले आफ्नै सृष्टि कर्तालाई त्यागे, अनि ऊ त्यस चट्टानबाट भागे जसले उसलाई बचाएको थियो।
16 परमप्रभुको मानिसहरूले उहाँलाई ईर्ष्यालु बनाए तिनीहरूले अरू देवताहरूको पूजा गरे। तिनीहरूले ती भयानक मूर्तिहरू पूजेर परमेश्वरलाई रीस उठाए।
17 तिनीहरूले भूतहरूलाई बलिदानहरू चढाए जो सत्य देवताहरू थिएनन् तिनीहरू नयाँ देवताहरू थिए। त्यो तिनीहरूले जान्दैन थिए, ती नयाँ देवताहरू तिमीहरूको पिता-पुर्खाहरूले जान्दैन थिए।
18 जसले तिमीलाई बनायो, त्यस चट्टानलाई तिमीले छोडयौ तिमीले ती परमेश्वरलाई बिर्सियौ जसले तिमीलाई जन्म दिनु भयो।
19 परमप्रभुले यो देखेर तिनीहरूसित निराश हुनु भयो। उहाँका आफ्नै छोरा-छोरीहरूले उहाँलाई रीस उठाए।
20 यसकारण परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, ‘म तिनीहरूलाई त्याग गर्नेछु तब हेरौं के हुन्छ! तिनीहरू विद्रोही मानिसहरू हुन्। तिनीहरू नानीहरू जस्तै छन् जसले आफ्नो पाठ सिकदैन।
21 तिनीहरूले मलाई मूर्तिहरूद्वारा ईर्ष्यालु बनाए जो ईश्वरहरू होइनन् तिनीहरूले मलाई मूल्यहीन मूर्तिहरूसित रिसाउने बनाए। म तिनीहरूलाई मानिसहरूसित रिसाउने बनाउनेछु जो साँचो राष्ट्र होइनन्। म तिनीहरूलाई मूर्ख जातिका मानिससित रिसाउने बनाउनेछु।
22 मेरो रीस आगो जस्तै बल्नेछ। चिहानको तल्लो सतहसम्म बलेर। पृथ्वी अनि यसका अरू चिज नष्ट गर्दै बलेर पहाडको तलसम्म जलाई दिन्छु।
23 ‘म इस्राएलीहरूमाथि विपत्ति ल्याउनेछु, म तिनीहरू माथि आफ्ना सबै वाण चलाउनेछु।
24 तिनीहरू भोकले, दुर्बल हुनेछन् अनि भयङ्कर रोगहरूले तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट पार्नेछन्। तिनीहरूको विरोधमा म जङ्गली जनावर पठाउनेछु। विषालु साँपहरू र छेपाराहरूले तिनीहरूलाई टोएने छन्।
25 बाटा-घाटामा सैनिकहरूले तिनीहरूलाई मार्नेछन्। तिनीहरूका घरहरूमा भयंकर घटनाहरू हुनेछन्। सैनिकहरूले युवा-युवतीहरूलाई मार्नेछन्। तिनीहरूले नानीहरू अनि बूढा-बूढीहरुलाई मार्नेछन्।
26 मैले इस्राएलीहरूलाई नाश गर्ने विषयमा सोचें। यस कारण म मानिसहरूको बीचबाट तिनीहरूको सम्झना मेटिदिनेछु।
27 तर म जान्दछु, तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूले के भन्नेछन्। शत्रुहरूले बुझ्ने छैनन्। तिनीहरू सेखी गर्नेछन् अनि भन्नेछन्, “परमप्रभुले इस्राएललाई नष्ट गर्नुभएन हामीले हाम्रै शाक्तिले जित्यौं।”‘
28 इस्राएलका मनिसहरू मूर्ख छन्, तिनीहरूले केही बुझ्दैनन्।
29 यदि तिनीहरू ज्ञानी भए तिनीहरूले बुझ्ने थिए, तिनीहरूले जान्ने थिए तिनीहरूलाई के हुनेछ।
30 के एकजना मानिसले 1,000 मानिसहरूलाई लखेटून सएछ? के दुईजना मानिसहरूले 10,000 मानिसहरूलाई लखेट्न सकछन्? यो तब मात्र हुनेछ यदि परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई शत्रुको हातमा सुम्पिनु हुन्छ। यो तब मात्र हुनेछ यदि तिनीहरूको चट्टान (परमेश्वरले) तिनीहरूलाई कमारा जस्तै बेच्नु हुन्छ।
31 हाम्रा शत्रुहरूको ‘चट्टान’ हाम्रो चट्टान (परमप्रभु) जस्तो शक्तिशाली छैन शत्रुहरूलाई पनि यो थाहा छ।
32 सदोम र गमोरा जस्तै तिनीहरूको अङ्गुरको लहरा र खेती नष्ट हुनेछ। तिनीहरूको अङ्गुर विष जस्तै तीतो हुनेछ।
33 तिनीहरूको दाखरस साँपको विष झैं छ।
34 परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, ‘म त्यस दण्डलाई साँच्दैछु। मैले यसलाई मेरो भण्डारमा जम्मा गरेको छु।
35 तिनीहरूले गरेको नराम्रा कार्यहरूको निम्ति, म नै तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिन्छु। तर त्यो दण्ड त्यस समयको निम्ति जोगाई राखेकोछु जब तिनीहरू चिप्लन्छन् र नराम्रो कार्यहरू गर्छन्। तिनीहरूको निम्ति कष्टको समय नजिकै छ। तिनीहरूको दण्ड चाँडै आउनेछ।’
36 परमप्रभुले आफ्नो मानिसहरूको न्याय गर्नुहुनेछ। तिनीहरू उहाँका सेवकहरू हुन् अनि उहाँ तिनीहरू प्रति दया देखाउनु हुन्छ। उहाँले तिनीहरू शाक्तिहीन भएको थाहा पाउनु हुनेछ। कमारा-कमारीहरू र मुक्त मानिसहरू पनि असाहाय भएको उहाँले थाहा पाउनु हुनेछ।
37 तब परमप्रभुले भन्नु हुनेछ, ‘झूटा देवताहरू कहाँ छन्? त्यो ‘चट्टान’ कहाँ छ शरण गर्न तिमीहरू दगुरेका थियौ?
38 ती झूटा देवताहरूले तिमीहरूको बलिको बोसो खाए अनि तिनीहरूले चढाएको अर्घका दाखरस पिए। यसकारण तिनीहरू उठ्न तिमीहरूको सहायता गरून् तब तिमीहरूको रक्षा गरून्।
39 ‘अब हेर, म एक मात्र म नै परमेश्वर हुँ! कतै अरू ईश्वर छैन। म नै मानिसलाई मार्दछु अनि मानिसहरूलाई जीवित पार्दछु म मानिसहरूलाई चोट पुर्याउन सकछु अनि तिनीहरूलाई निको पार्न सकछु। कसैले मानिसलाई मेरा शक्तिबाट बचाउँनु सकदैन।
40 म स्वर्गतिर हात उठाउँछु अनि यो कसम खान्छु। म सधैं निश्चित हुन्छु यी कुराहरू हुनेछन्।
41 म प्रतिज्ञा गर्छु, म मेरो चम्किने तरवार उधाउँनेछु, मेरा शत्रुहरूलाई दण्ड दिन यसको प्रयोग गर्नेछु। म तिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूको कर्म अनुसार दण्ड दिनेछु।
42 मेरा शत्रुहरू मारिनेछन् अनि बन्दी हुन्छन्। मेरो काँडहरू तिनीहरूको रगतले रंगिने छन्। मेरो तरवारले तिनीहरूका सैनिकहरूका शिर काटूनेछ।
43 सारा संसार मानिसहरूका परमेश्वरको निम्ति खुशी हुनुपर्छ। किन? किनभने उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई सहायता गर्नुहुन्छ, उहाँले मानिसहरूलाई दण्ड दिनु हुनेछ जसले आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई मार्छन्। उहाँले शत्रुहरूको अपराध अनुसार दण्ड दिनुहुन्छ। अनि उहाँले आफ्नो भूमि र मानिसहरूलाई शुद्ध बनाउनु हुनेछ।”
44 मोशा र नूनको छोरो यहोशू आए अनि इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले सुनून् भनी यस गीतका शब्दहरू गाए।
45 जब मोशाले मानिसहरूलाई यो वचनहरू दिई सके,
46 तब उनले भने, “तिमीहरूले निश्चय गर्नु पर्छ आज मैले बताएका सबै आज्ञाहरू तिमीहरू सम्झना राख्छौ र यस व्यवस्थामा रहेका आज्ञाहरू तिनीहरूले पालन गर्नै पर्छ भनी आफ्ना छोरा-छोरीहरूलाई बताउँनेछौ।
47 नसोच यी उपदेशहरू महत्वहीन छन् ती तिमीहरूको जीवन हुन्। यी शिक्षाहरूद्वारा तिमीहरू यर्दन नदी पारिको देश जुन देशमा तिमीहरू बस्न जान तयार छौ त्यहाँ धेरै समयसम्म बस्न सएछौ।”
48 त्यही दिन परमप्रभुले मोशासित बोल्नु भयो। परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो,
49 “अबारिम पहाडमा जाऊ। मोआब देशमा नबो पर्वतमा जाऊ जो यर्दन नदीपारि यरीहो शहर छ। तब तिमीले त्यो कनान देशलाई देख्न सएछौ जुन देश म इस्राएलीहरूलाई बस्न दिंदैछु।
50 तिमी त्यही पर्वतमाथि मर्नेछौ। तिमी पनि त्यसरी नै आफ्नो मानिसहरूसित मिल्नेछौ जसरी तिम्रा दाज्यू हारून होर पर्वतमा मरेर आफ्नो मानिसहरूसित मिले।
51 किन? किनभने जब तिमी सीनको मरूभूमिमा कादेशको नजिक मरीबा पानीमा थियौ तब तिमी दुवैले मेरो विरूद्ध इस्राएलीहरूको अघि पाप गरेको थियौ। तिमीले मेरो सम्मान गरेनौ अनि ‘म पवित्र हुँ, भनी मानिसहरूलाई बुझाएनौ।
52 यस कारण अब मैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई दिंदै गरेको भूमि तिमीले हेर्न सएछौ तर त्यहाँ पस्न सएदैनौ।”
1 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
3 Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
5 They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.
8 When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
9 For the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
12 So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
19 And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.
21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.
24 They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
25 The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
26 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
27 Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the Lord hath not done all this.
28 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?
31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
35 To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36 For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
41 If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42 I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
43 Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.
44 And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
45 And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:
46 And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
47 For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
48 And the Lord spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,
49 Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:
50 And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:
51 Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
52 Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife.
3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;
4 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the Lord: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
5 When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.
6 No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh a man’s life to pledge.
7 If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you.
8 Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do.
9 Remember what the Lord thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt.
10 When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
11 Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.
12 And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:
13 In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the Lord thy God.
14 Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates:
15 At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the Lord, and it be sin unto thee.
16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
17 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow’s raiment to pledge:
18 But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the Lord thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
19 When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.
20 When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
21 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
22 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
