Deuteronomy 29
New Life Version
The Agreement in Moab
29 These are the words of the agreement the Lord told Moses to make with the people of Israel in the land of Moab, as well as the agreement He had made with them at Mount Sinai.
2 Moses called all Israel and said to them, “You have seen all the Lord did in front of you in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh and all his servants and all his land. 3 You have seen great tests and powerful works. 4 Yet to this day the Lord has not given you a heart to know, or eyes to see, or ears to hear. 5 I have led you forty years in the desert. Your clothes did not wear out. And your shoes did not wear out on your feet. 6 You did not eat bread, or drink wine or strong drink, so you might know that I am the Lord your God. 7 When you came to this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came to meet us to fight. But we won the fight. 8 We took their land and gave it as a gift to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half family group of Manasseh. 9 So be careful to keep the words of this agreement and obey them so all that you do will go well.
10 “Today you all stand before the Lord your God, you, your rulers, your families, your leaders, all the men of Israel, 11 your children, your wives, the stranger who is among your tents, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who gets your water. 12 You are here to take part in the agreement with the Lord your God, and in His promise which the Lord your God is making with you today. 13 So today He will make you His people. He will be your God, just as He told you and as He promised your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
14 “I am not making this agreement and this promise with you alone. 15 I am making them with those who stand here with us today before the Lord our God, and with those who are not here with us today. 16 You know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we passed through the land of the nations on our way here. 17 You have seen their sinful things and their gods of wood, stone, silver and gold, which they had with them. 18 Be careful not to have any man or woman or family or group among you whose heart turns away from the Lord our God today to go and worship the gods of those nations. Do not let there be a root among you giving poison fruit and bad-tasting plants. 19 When one hears the words of this curse, he will say in his pride, ‘I have peace even though I am strong-willed in my heart.’ This will destroy the land that is watered along with the dry land. 20 The Lord will never be willing to forgive him. But the Lord will be jealous and His anger will burn against that man. Every curse written in this book will be upon him. And the Lord will take out his name from under heaven. 21 The Lord will set him apart for trouble from all the families of Israel, with all the curses of the agreement which are written in this book of the Law.
22 “The children to come, your sons who grow up after you, and the stranger who comes from a land far away, will see the troubles and diseases the Lord has sent upon the land. And they will say, 23 ‘The whole land is sulphur and salt, a burning waste, not planted and not giving any plants, and no grass grows in it. It is like Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord destroyed in His anger.’ 24 All the nations will say, ‘Why has the Lord done this to this land? Why was He so angry?’ 25 Then men will say, ‘It is because they did not keep the agreement of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt. 26 They went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods they had not known and whom He had not given to them. 27 So the anger of the Lord burned against that land. Every curse was brought upon it that is written in this book. 28 The Lord drove them from their land in much anger. And He sent them into another land, as it is today.’
29 “The secret things belong to the Lord our God. But the things that are made known belong to us and to our children forever, so we may obey all the words of this Law.

मवाबातील करार
29 इस्राएलांशी होरेब पर्वताजवळ परमेश्वराने पवित्र करार केला होता. त्याखेरीज, मवाबात आणखी एक पवित्र करार करायची परमेश्वराने मोशेला आज्ञा दिली. तो हा पवित्र करार होय.
2 मोशेन सर्व इस्राएलांना जवळ बोलावले. तो त्यांना म्हणाला, “मिसरमध्ये परमेश्वराने जे जे केले ते सर्व तुम्ही पाहिले आहे. फारो, त्याचे सेवक आणि त्याचा देश यांचे परमेश्वराने काय केले ते तुम्ही पाहिले आहे. 3 ती संकटे, चमत्कार आणि विस्मयकारक गोष्टी तुम्ही पाहिल्या आहेत. 4 पण नेमके काय झाले हे तुम्हांला आजही समजू शकलेले नाही. तुम्ही जे पाहिलेत आणि ऐकलेत त्याचे खरे आकलन परमेश्वराने तुम्हाला होऊ दिलेले नाही. 5 परमेश्वराने तुम्हांला वाळवंटातून चाळीस वर्षे चालवले. पण एवढ्या कालावधीत तुमचे कपडे विरले नाहीत की जोडे झिजले नाहीत. 6 तुम्हीं भाकरी खाल्ली नाही की द्राक्षारस अथवा मद्य प्यायले नाही. पण परमेश्वराने तुमची काळजी वाहिली. हा परमेश्वरच तुमचा देव आहे हे तुम्हांला कळावे म्हणून त्याने असे केले.
7 “तुम्ही येंथे आलात आणि हेशबोनचा राजा सीहोन आणि बाशानचा राजा ओग आपल्यावर चढाई करुन आले. पण आपण त्यांचा पराभव केला. 8 त्यांचा देश आपण घेऊन तो रऊबेनी, गादी व मनश्शेचे अर्धे घराणे यांना ते इनाम म्हणून दिला. 9 या करारातील सर्व आज्ञा तुम्ही पाळल्यात तर तुम्हाला सर्व कार्यात असेच यश मिळत राहील.
10 “आज तुम्ही सर्वजण म्हणजेच तुमच्यातील अंमलदार वडीलधारे, प्रमुख आणि सर्व इस्राएल तुमचा देव परमेश्वर ह्याच्यासमोर उभे आहात. 11 तुमची बायकामुले तसेच लाकूड तोड्यापासून पाणक्यापर्यंत तुमच्यातील सर्व उपरे हे ही इथे आहेत. 12 तुमचा देव परमेश्वर ह्याच्याशी करारबद्ध व्हायला तुम्ही इथे जमलेले आहात. परमेश्वर तुमच्याशी पवित्र करार करणार आहे. 13 त्याद्वारे तो तुम्हांला आपली खास प्रजा करणार आहे आणि तो तुमचा परमेश्वर बनणार आहे. त्याने हे तुम्हांला आणि अब्राहाम, इसहाक व याकोब या तुमच्या पूर्वजांना कबूल केले आहे. 14-15 हा शपथपूर्वक पवित्र करार फक्त आपल्याशी-आज इथे उपस्थित असलेल्यांबरोबरच नव्हे तर आज आपल्यामध्ये या ठिकाणी हजर नसलेल्या आपल्या वंशजांसाठीही आहे. 16 आपण मिसरमध्ये कसे राहात होतो ते तुम्हांला आठवत आहेच. वेगवेगळ्या राष्ट्रातून येथपर्यंतचा आपण प्रवास कसा केला याचीही तुम्हांला आठवण आहे. 17 त्या लोकांच्या लाकूड, पाषाण, चांदी, सोने यापासून बनवलेल्या आपल्याला तिरस्करणीय असलेल्या मूर्तीही पाहिल्यात. 18 आपल्या परमेश्वर देवापासून परावृत होऊन त्यांच्या दैवतांच्या भजनी लागलेला कोणी पुरुष, बाई, एखादे कुटुंब किंवा कूळ येथे नाही ना याची खात्रीकरुन घ्या. अशी माणसे विषवल्लीसमान असतात.
19 “एखादा हे बोलणे ऐकूनही, ‘मी मला हवे तेच करणार. माझे काहीही वाकडे होणार नाही’ असे स्वतःचे समाधान करुन घेत असेल. पण त्याने हे लक्षात ठेवावे की त्याचा त्याला त्रास तर होईलच पण सुक्याबरोबर ओले ही जळते या न्यायाने निरपराध्यांनाही त्रास होईल. 20-21 परमेश्वर अशा माणसाला क्षमा करणार नाही. परमेश्वराचा त्याच्यावर कोप होईल. इतर सर्व इस्राएलापासून अलग करुन परमेश्वर त्याची नावनिशाणी पुसून टाकील. या ग्रंथातील सर्व शापांचा प्रत्यय त्या माणसाला स्वतःच्या बाबतीत येईल. या नियमशास्त्राच्या ग्रंथातील कराराचा हा एक भाग आहे.
22 “या देशाची कशी वाट लागली हे पुढे तुमचे वंशज आणि दूरदूरच्या देशातील परकीय पाहतील. या देशातील विपत्ती आणि परमेश्वराने पसरवलेले रोग ते पाहतील. 23 येथील भूमी गंधक आणि खार यांच्यामुळे जळून वैराण होईल. तिच्यात गवताचे पाते देखील उगवणार नाही. सदोम, गमोरा, अदमा व सबोयीम ही शहरे परमेश्वराच्या कोपाने उद्ध्वस्त झाली तसेच या देशाचे होईल.
24 “‘परमेश्वराने या देशाचे असे का केले? त्याचा एवढा कोप का झाला?’ असे इतर राष्ट्रातील लोक विचारतील. 25 त्याचे उत्तर असे की, आपल्या पूर्वजांचा देव परमेश्वर याच्याशी केलेला करार इस्राएलांनी धुडकावून लावल्यामुळे परमेश्वराचा त्यांच्यावर कोप झाला. मिसरमधून या लोकांना बाहेर आणल्यावर परमेश्वराने त्यांच्याशी पवित्र करार केला होता तो यांनी मोडला. 26 हे इस्राएल इतर दैवतांची पूजा करु लागले. यापूर्वी त्यांना हे देव माहीत नव्हते. तसेच इतर दैवतांची पूजा करु नये असे परमेश्वराने त्यांना बजावले होते. 27 म्हणून त्यांच्यावर तो क्रुद्ध झाला व या ग्रंथातील शापवाणी त्यांच्या बाबतीत खरी करुन दाखवली. 28 क्रोधायमान होऊन परमेश्वराने त्यांचे या देशातून उच्चाटन केले व आज ते जेथे आहेत तेथे त्यांची रवानगी केली?
29 “काही गोष्टी आमचा देव परमेश्वर ह्याने गुप्त ठेवलेल्या आहेत. त्या फक्त त्यालाच माहीत. पण हे बाकी सर्व त्याने उघड केले आहे. आपल्याला व आपल्या पुढील पिढ्यांसाठी शिकवण देऊन ती नित्य पाळायला सांगितले आहे.
Deuteronomy 29
King James Version
29 These are the words of the covenant, which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
2 And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;
3 The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:
4 Yet the Lord hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.
5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.
6 Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the Lord your God.
7 And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them:
8 And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.
9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
10 Ye stand this day all of you before the Lord your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,
11 Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:
12 That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the Lord thy God, and into his oath, which the Lord thy God maketh with thee this day:
13 That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
15 But with him that standeth here with us this day before the Lord our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:
16 (For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;
17 And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)
18 Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;
19 And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:
20 The Lord will not spare him, but then the anger of the Lord and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven.
21 And the Lord shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:
22 So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the Lord hath laid upon it;
23 And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
24 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?
25 Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:
26 For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:
27 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
28 And the Lord rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.
29 The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

New King James Version
The Covenant Renewed in Moab
29 These are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the (A)covenant which He made with them in Horeb.
2 Now Moses called all Israel and said to them: (B)“You have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land— 3 (C)the great trials which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders. 4 Yet (D)the Lord has not given you a heart to [a]perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this very day. 5 (E)And I have led you forty years in the wilderness. (F)Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet. 6 (G)You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or similar drink, that you may know that I am the Lord your God. 7 And when you came to this place, (H)Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan came out against us to battle, and we conquered them. 8 We took their land and (I)gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh. 9 Therefore (J)keep the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may (K)prosper in all that you do.
10 “All of you stand today before the Lord your God: your leaders and your tribes and your elders and your officers, all the men of Israel, 11 your little ones and your wives—also the stranger who is in your camp, from (L)the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water— 12 that you may enter into covenant with the Lord your God, and (M)into His oath, which the Lord your God makes with you today, 13 that He may (N)establish you today as a people for Himself, and that He may be God to you, (O)just as He has spoken to you, and (P)just as He has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
14 “I make this covenant and this oath, (Q)not with you alone, 15 but with him who stands here with us today before the Lord our God, (R)as well as with him who is not here with us today 16 (for you know that we dwelt in the land of Egypt and that we came through the nations which you passed by, 17 and you saw their [b]abominations and their idols which were among them—wood and stone and silver and gold); 18 so that there may not be among you man or woman or family or tribe, (S)whose heart turns away today from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations, (T)and that there may not be among you a root bearing (U)bitterness or wormwood; 19 and so it may not happen, when he hears the words of this curse, that he blesses himself in his heart, saying, ‘I shall have peace, even though I [c]follow the (V)dictates of my heart’—(W)as though the drunkard could be included with the sober.
20 (X)“The Lord would not spare him; for then (Y)the anger of the Lord and (Z)His jealousy would burn against that man, and every curse that is written in this book would settle on him, and the Lord (AA)would blot out his name from under heaven. 21 And the Lord (AB)would separate him from all the tribes of Israel for adversity, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this Book of the (AC)Law, 22 so that the coming generation of your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, would say, when they (AD)see the plagues of that land and the sicknesses which the Lord has laid on it:
23 ‘The whole land is brimstone, (AE)salt, and burning; it is not sown, nor does it bear, nor does any grass grow there, (AF)like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in His anger and His wrath.’ 24 All nations would say, (AG)‘Why has the Lord done so to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?’ 25 Then people would say: ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt; 26 for they went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods that they did not know and that He had not given to them. 27 Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against this land, (AH)to bring on it every curse that is written in this book. 28 And the Lord (AI)uprooted them from their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.’
29 “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
