Exodus 32
1 Now when the people saw that Moses was delayed in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, “Come, make us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him!”
जब मानिसहरूले मोशा पर्वतबाट आउन ढिलाइ गरेको देखे तिनीहरू हारूनको वरिपरि भेला भई तिनलाई भने, “हाम्रो अगिअगि जाने एउटा मूर्ति बनाऔँ । हामीलाई मिश्र देशबाट बाहिर ल्याउने मोशालाई के भयो हामी जान्दैनौँ ।”
2 So Aaron told them, “Take off the gold earrings that are on your wives and sons and daughters, and bring them to me.”
त्यसैले हारूनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूका पत्नीहरू र छोराछोरीहरूका कानमा भएका सुनका कुण्डलहरू फुकाली मकहाँ लेओ ।”
3 Then all the people took off their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.
सबै मानिसले तिनीहरूका कानमा लगाएका कुण्डलहरू फुकाली हारूनकहाँ ल्याए ।
4 He took the gold from their hands, and with an engraving tool he fashioned it into a molten calf. And they said, “These, O Israel, are your gods, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”
तिनले तिनीहरूबाट पाएको सुनलाई हतियारले खोपेर बाछाको एउटा मूर्ति बनाए । तब मानिसहरूले भने, “हे इस्राएल हो, मिश्रबाट तिमीहरूलाई बाहिर निकालेर ल्याउने देव यिनै हुन् ।”
5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before the calf and proclaimed: “Tomorrow shall be a feast to the LORD.”
हारूनले यो देखेपछि तिनले बाछाको सामु एउटा वेदी बनाए र यस्तो घोषणा गरे, “भोलि परमप्रभुको आदरको लागि एउटा चाड हुनेछ ।”
6 So the next day they arose, offered burnt offerings, and presented peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and drink, and got up to indulge in revelry.
भोलिपल्ट मानिसहरू सबेरै उठे र तिनीहरूले होमबलि र मेलबलि चढाए । तब तिनीहरू खान र पिउनलाई बसे अनि मोजमा डुब्न लागे ।
7 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go down at once, for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.
तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “चाँडै तल ओर्ली, किनकि तैँले मिश्र देशबाट बाहिर ल्याएका मानिसहरूले आफैलाई भ्रष्ट पारिसकेका छन् ।
8 How quickly they have turned aside from the way that I commanded them! They have made for themselves a molten calf and have bowed down to it. They have sacrificed to it and said, ‘These, O Israel, are your gods, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.’”
मैले आज्ञा गरेको मार्गबाट तिनीहरू चाँडै नै विचलित भएका छन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना लागि गाईको मूर्ति बनाएर यसको पूजा गरेका छन् र बलिदान चढाएका छन् । तिनीहरूले भनेका छन् 'हे इस्राएल हो, मिश्र देशबाट तिमीहरूलाई बाहिर ल्याउने देव यिनै हुन्' ।”
9 The LORD also said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and they are indeed a stiff-necked people.
तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “मैले यो जातिलाई देखेको छु । हेर्, तिनीहरू हठी मानिसहरू हुन् ।
10 Now leave Me alone, so that My anger may burn against them and consume them. Then I will make you into a great nation.”
अब मलाई रोक्ने कोसिस नगर् । मेरो क्रोध तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा दन्कनेछ । त्यसैले म तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नेछु । तब म तँबाट नै एउटा ठुलो जाति बनाउनेछु ।”
11 But Moses sought the favor of the LORD his God, saying, “O LORD, why does Your anger burn against Your people, whom You brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand?
तर मोशाले परमप्रभु तिनका परमेश्वरलाई शान्त पार्न खोजे । तिनले भने, “हे परमप्रभु, आफ्नो ठुलो सामर्थ्य र शक्तिशाली हातले मिश्र देशबाट तपाईंले बाहिर ल्याउनुभएका यी मानिसहरूको विरुद्ध तपाईंको क्रोध किन दन्किने?
12 Why should the Egyptians declare, ‘He brought them out with evil intent, to kill them in the mountains and wipe them from the face of the earth’? Turn from Your fierce anger and relent from doing harm to Your people.
मिश्रीहरूले किन यसो भन्ने, 'तिनीहरूलाई पर्वतमा लगेर मार्न र पृथ्वीको सतहबाट नष्ट गर्न उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई दुष्ट मनसाय लिएर बाहिर निकाल्नुभयो?' आफ्नो क्रोधलाई शान्त पार्नुहोस् र यो जातिलाई दण्ड दिनबाट मन बद्लनुहोस् ।
13 Remember Your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, to whom You swore by Your very self when You declared, ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give your descendants all this land that I have promised, and it shall be their inheritance forever.’”
तपाईंका दासहरू अब्राहाम, इसहाक र इस्राएललाई सम्झनुहोस् जसलाई तपाईंले आफ्नै खातिर यसो भनेर शपथ खानुभएको थियो, 'म तिमीहरूका सन्तानहरूलाई आकाशको ताराजत्तिकै बढाउनेछु र मैले तिमीहरूका सन्तानहरूलाई दिने भनेका यी सबै देश दिनेछु । तिनीहरूले सदाको लागि यसको अधिकार गर्नेछन्' ।”
14 So the LORD relented from the calamity He had threatened to bring on His people.
तब आफ्नो जातिलाई हानि गर्नदेखि परमप्रभुले आफ्नो मन बद्लनुभयो ।
15 Then Moses turned and went down the mountain with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands. They were inscribed on both sides, front and back.
तब मोशा फर्केर आफ्ना हातमा करारका दुईवटा शिला-पाटी लिएर पर्वतबाट तल ओर्ले । शिला-पाटीहरूका अगाडि र पछाडि दुवैपट्टि लेखिएका थिए ।
16 The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.
ती शिला-पाटीहरू परमेश्वरका आफ्नै काम थिए, र त्यो उहाँले नै खोपेर लेख्नुभएको थियो ।
17 When Joshua heard the sound of the people shouting, he said to Moses, “The sound of war is in the camp.”
यहोशूले मानिसहरू चिच्च्याइरहेको आवाज सुनेपछि तिनले मोशालाई भने, “छाउनीमा त लडाइँको आवाज पो सुनिँदै छ त ।”
18 But Moses replied: “It is neither the cry of victory nor the cry of defeat; I hear the sound of singing!”
तर मोशाले भने, “यो विजेताको आवाज होइन, न त पराजितहरूको आवाज हो, तर म त गीत गाइरहेको आवाज सुन्दै छु ।”
19 As Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, he burned with anger and threw the tablets out of his hands, shattering them at the base of the mountain.
जब मोशा छाउनी नजिक आइपुगे तिनले बाछो र मानिसहरू नाचिरहेका देखे । तिनी बेसरी रिसाए । तिनले आफ्ना हातबाट ती शिला-पाटीहरू फालिदिए, पर्वतको फेदीमा नै फुटाइदिए ।
20 Then he took the calf they had made, burned it in the fire, ground it to powder, and scattered the powder over the face of the water. Then he forced the Israelites to drink it.
तिनले मानिसहरूले बनाएका त्यस बाछोलाई लिएर जलाइदिए अनि धुलोपिठो बनाएर पानीमा छरिदिए, अनि तिनले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई त्यो पिउन लगाए ।
21 “What did this people do to you,” Moses asked Aaron, “that you have led them into so great a sin?”
तब मोशाले हारूनलाई भने, “यी मानिसहरूले तपाईंलाई के गरे जसले गर्दा तपाईंले तिनीहरूमाथि यति ठुलो पाप ल्याउनुभयो?”
22 “Do not be enraged, my lord,” Aaron replied. “You yourself know that the people are intent on evil.
हारूनले भने, “मेरा मालिक, ममाथि हजुरको क्रोध नदन्कियोस् । तपाईं त यी मानिसहरूलाई जान्नुहुन्छ कि तिनीहरू खराबी गर्न उद्यत छन् ।
23 They told me, ‘Make us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him!’
तिनीहरूले मलाई भने, 'हाम्रो अगिअगि जाने एउटा देव बनाऊ । हामीलाई मिश्र देशबाट बाहिर निकालेर ल्याउने मोशालाई के भयो हामी जान्दैनौँ ।'
24 So I said to them, ‘Whoever has gold, let him take it off,’ and they gave it to me. And when I threw it into the fire, out came this calf!”
तब मैले तिनीहरूलाई भनेँ, 'जो-जोसँग सुन छ, तिनीहरूले फुकालून् ।' तिनीहरूले मलाई सुन दिए र मैले त्यसलाई आगोमा फाल्दा यही बाछो बनेर आयो ।”
25 Moses saw that the people were out of control, for Aaron had let them run wild and become a laughingstock to their enemies.
मानिसहरू छाडा भइसकेका थिए भनी मोशाले देखे (किनकि हारूनले तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूका सामु हाँसोको पात्र हुन दिएर तिनीहरूलाई अनियन्त्रित हुन छाडिदिएका थिए) ।
26 So Moses stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “Whoever is for the LORD, come to me.” And all the Levites gathered around him.
तब मोशा छाउनीको प्रवेशद्वारमा खडा भएर भने, “जो-जो परमप्रभुपट्टि छन्, तिनीहरू मकहाँ आओ ।” सबै लेवी तिनको वरिपरि भेला भए ।
27 He told them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Each of you men is to fasten his sword to his side, go back and forth through the camp from gate to gate, and slay his brother, his friend, and his neighbor.’”
तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हरेकले आ-आफ्नो तरवार भिरेर छाउनीको एक छेउदेखि अर्को छेउसम्म ढोका-ढोकासम्म गएर हरेकले आफ्ना भाइ, आफ्ना मित्र र छिमेकीलाई मार' ।”
28 The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people fell dead.
मोशाले आज्ञा गरेमुताबिक लेवीहरूले गरे । त्यस दिन करिब तिन हजार मानिस मरे ।
29 Afterward, Moses said, “Today you have been ordained for service to the LORD, since each man went against his son and his brother; so the LORD has bestowed a blessing on you this day.”
मोशाले लेवीहरूलाई भने, “आज तिमीहरू परमप्रभुको सेवामा राखिएका छौ किनकि आज परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई आशिष् देऊन् भनेर तिमीहरू हरेकले आ-आफ्ना छोरा र भाइको विरुद्धमा कारबाही गरेका छौ ।”
30 The next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a great sin. Now I will go up to the LORD; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”
भोलिपल्ट मोशाले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले भयङ्कर ठुलो पाप गरेका छौ । अब म परमप्रभुकहाँ उक्लेर जानेछु । सायद मैले तिमीहरूको पापको लागि प्रायश्चित्त गर्न सक्छु कि ।”
31 So Moses returned to the LORD and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made gods of gold for themselves.
मोशा परमप्रभुकहाँ फर्केर आए र भने, “हाय! यी मानिसहरूले ठुलो पाप गरेका छन् र तिनीहरूले सुनको मूर्ति बनाएका छन् ।
32 Yet now, if You would only forgive their sin.... But if not, please blot me out of the book that You have written.”
तर अब तिनीहरूका पाप क्षमा गरिदिनुहोस् । क्षमा गर्नुहुन्न भनेता तपाईंले लेख्नुभएको पुस्तकबाट मेरो नाउँ मेटिदिनुहोस् ।”
33 The LORD replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot out of My book.
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “जसले मेरो विरुद्धमा पाप गरेको छ, म मेरो पुस्तकबाट त्यसकै नाउँ मेटिदिनेछु ।
34 Now go, lead the people to the place I described. Behold, My angel shall go before you. But on the day I settle accounts, I will punish them for their sin.”
अब, गएर मैले तँलाई भनेको स्थानमा यी मानिसहरूलाई अगुवाइ गरेर लैजा । हेर्, मेरा दूत तेरो अगिअगि जानेछन् । तर त्यस दिन तिनीहरूका पापका लागि म तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनेछु ।”
35 And the LORD sent a plague on the people because of what they had done with the calf that Aaron had made.
हारूनले बनाएको बाछोको कारण परमप्रभुले मानिसहरूमाथि विपत्ति ल्याउनुभयो ।
