< Exodus 24 >
1 And he said to Moses, Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, and Nadab and Abihu and seventy of the chiefs of Israel; and give me worship from a distance.
तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “तँ, हारून, नादाब, अबीहू र इस्राएलका सत्तरी जना धर्म-गुरु मकहाँ उक्लेर आओ र केही दूरी राखेर मेरो आराधना गर ।
2 And Moses only may come near to the Lord; but the others are not to come near, and the people may not come up with them.
मोशा मात्र मेरो नजिक आउन सक्छ । अरूहरू मेरो नजिक नआउनू न त मानिसहरू नै तिनीहरूसित आउनू ।”
3 Then Moses came and put before the people all the words of the Lord and his laws: and all the people, answering with one voice, said, Whatever the Lord has said we will do.
मोशा गएर परमप्रभुका वचनहरू र विधिविधानहरू मानिसहरूलाई सुनाइदिए । सबै मानिसले एकै सोरमा भने, “परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएका सबै वचन हामी पालन गर्नेछौँ ।”
4 Then Moses put down in writing all the words of the Lord, and he got up early in the morning and made an altar at the foot of the mountain, with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.
तब मोशाले परमप्रभुका सबै वचन लेखे । बिहान सबेरै उठेर मोशाले पर्वतको फेदीमा एउटा वेदी बनाए र इस्राएलका बाह्र कुलको प्रतिनिधित्व हुने गरी बाह्रवटा ढुङ्गाका वेदी बनाए ।
5 And he sent some of the young men of the children of Israel to make burned offerings and peace-offerings of oxen to the Lord.
तिनले परमप्रभुका निम्ति केही इस्राएली जवानहरूलाई गोरुको होमबलि र मेलबलि चढाउन पठाए ।
6 And Moses took half the blood and put it in basins; draining out half of the blood over the altar.
मोशाले आधा रगत लिएर त्यसलाई कचौरामा हाले । तिनले बाँकी आधा रगत भने वेदीमा छर्के ।
7 And he took the book of the agreement, reading it in the hearing of the people: and they said, Everything which the Lord has said we will do, and we will keep his laws.
तिनले करारको पुस्तक लिएर मानिसहरूले सुन्ने गरी चर्को सोरमा पढे । तिनीहरूले भने, “परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएका सबै कुरा हामी पालन गर्नेछौँ । हामी आज्ञाकारी बन्नेछौँ ।”
8 Then Moses took the blood and let it come on the people, and said, This blood is the sign of the agreement which the Lord has made with you in these words.
तब मोशाले रगत लिएर त्यसलाई मानिसहरूमाथि छर्के । तिनले भने, “यी सबै वचनसहित तिमीहरूलाई यो प्रतिज्ञा दिएर यो परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूसित बाँध्नुभएको करारको रगत हो ।”
9 Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the chiefs of Israel went up:
तब मोशा, हारून, नादाब, अबीहू र इस्राएलका सत्तरी जना धर्म-गुरु पर्वतमाथि उक्लेर गए ।
10 And they saw the God of Israel; and under his feet there was, as it seemed, a jewelled floor, clear as the heavens.
तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका परमेश्वरलाई देखे । उहाँको पाउमुनि आकाशजस्तै सफा नीरबाट निर्मित बाटो थियो ।
11 And he put not his hand on the chiefs of the children of Israel: they saw God, and took food and drink.
परमेश्वरले इस्राएली अगुवाहरूमाथि आफ्नो हात उठाउनुभएन । तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरलाई देखे अनि तिनीहरूले खाए र पिए ।
12 And the Lord said to Moses, Come up to me on the mountain, and take your place there: and I will give you the stones on which I have put in writing the law and the orders, so that you may give the people knowledge of them.
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “माथि पर्तवमा मकहाँ उक्लेर आइज र यहाँ बस् । म तँलाई व्यवस्था र आज्ञाहरू लेखिएका शिला-पाटीहरू दिनेछु अनि तैँले तिनीहरूलाई सिका ।”
13 Then Moses and Joshua his servant got up; and Moses went up into the mountain of God.
त्यसैले मोशा आफ्ना सहयोगी यहोशूसँगै परमेश्वरको पर्वतमा उक्लेर गए ।
14 And he said to the chiefs, Keep your places here till we come back to you: Aaron and Hur are with you; if anyone has any cause let him go to them.
मोशाले धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई भनेका थिए, “यहीँ बस्नुहोस् र हामी तपाईंहरूकहाँ नआउञ्जेलसम्म पर्खेर बस्नुहोस् । हारून र हूर तपाईंहरूसितै छन् । कसैको केही वादविवाद भएमा तिनीहरूकहाँ जानू ।”
15 And Moses went up into the mountain, and it was covered by the cloud.
त्यसैले मोशा पर्वतमा उक्लेर गए, अनि बादलले पर्वतलाई ढाक्यो ।
16 And the glory of the Lord was resting on Mount Sinai, and the cloud was over it for six days; and on the seventh day he said Moses' name out of the cloud.
परमप्रभुको महिमा सीनै पर्वतमा आएर बस्यो, र बादलले छ दिनसम्म यसलाई ढाक्यो । सातौँ दिनमा उहाँले बादलभित्रबाट मोशालाई डाक्नुभयो ।
17 And the glory of the Lord was like a flame on the top of the mountain before the eyes of the children of Israel.
इस्राएलीहरूको दृष्टिमा पर्वतको टुप्पोमा परमप्रभुको महिमाको प्रकटीकरण भस्म गर्ने आगोझैँ देखा पर्यो ।
18 And Moses went up the mountain, into the cloud, and was there for forty days and forty nights.
मोशा बादलभित्र प्रवेश गरी पर्वतमा उक्ले । तिनी चालिस दिन चालिस रातसम्म पर्वतमा रहे ।
