Exodus 19
1 Two months to the day after they left Egypt, the Israelites arrived at the Sinai desert.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरू मिश्र देशबाट निस्केको तिन महिना बितेपछि ठिक त्यही दिनमा तिनीहरू सीनैको उजाड-स्थानमा आइपुगे ।
2 They had set out from Rephidim, and after they entered the Sinai desert they camped there in front of the mountain.
तिनीहरू रपीदीमबाट सीनैको उजाड-स्थानमा आइपुगेपछि तिनीहरूले पर्वतको सामुन्ने उजाड-स्थानमा छाउनी हाले ।
3 Moses went up the mountain to God. The Lord spoke to Moses from the mountain, and told him, “This is what you are to say to the descendants of Jacob, the Israelites:
मोशा परमेश्वरकहाँ माथि उक्लेर गए । परमप्रभुले पर्वतबाट तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तैँले याकूबको घराना अर्थात् इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई यसो भन्नूः
4 ‘You saw for yourselves what I did to the Egyptians, and how I carried you on eagles' wings, how I brought you to myself.
मैले मिश्रीहरूलाई के गरेँ, र मैले कसरी तिमीहरूलाई गरुडको पखेटामा बोकेर मकहाँ ल्याएँ भनी तिमीहरूले देखेका छौ ।
5 Now if you really obey what I say and keep the agreement with me, then out of all the nations you will be a special people that belong to me. While the whole world is mine,
अब तिमीहरूले आज्ञाकारितापूर्वक मेरो कुरा सुन्यौ र मेरो करार पालन गर्यौ भने सबै जातिमध्ये तिमीहरूचाहिँ मेरो विशेष सम्पत्ति हुनेछौ किनकि सबै पृथ्वी मेरै हुन् ।
6 for me you will be a kingdom of priests, a holy nation.’ This is what you are to tell the Israelites.”
तिमीहरू मेरा लागि पुजारीहरूका राज्य र पवित्र जाति हुनेछौ । तैँले यी वचनहरू इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई बताउनू ।”
7 So Moses went back down and summoned the elders of the people, and presented to them everything the Lord had ordered him to say.
मोशा ओर्लेर आई मानिसहरूका धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई बोलाउन पठाए । परमप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभएका सबै वचन तिनले तिनीहरूका सामु राखे ।
8 Everyone answered, “We promise to do everything the Lord says.” Then Moses took the people's answer back to the Lord.
सबै मानिसले सँगसँगै जवाफ दिए, “परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएका सबै कुरा हामी गर्नेछौँ ।” तब मानिसहरूका वचन परमप्रभुलाई भन्न मोशा आए ।
9 The Lord told Moses, “Look! I'm going to come to you in a thick cloud so the people will hear me speaking with you and as a result they will always trust you.” Then Moses reported to the Lord what the people had said.
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “म तँसित बोल्दा तँलाई मानिसहरूले सदाको लागि विश्वास गरून् भन्ने हेतुले म बाक्लो बादलमा तँकहाँ आउनेछु” । तब मोशाले मानिसहरूका वचन परमप्रभुलाई बताए ।
10 The Lord told Moses, “Go back down and prepare them spiritually today and tomorrow. They must wash their clothes
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “मानिसहरूकहाँ जा । आज र भोलि तैँले तिनीहरूलाई मेरो लागि अलग गर् र तिनीहरूका आ-आफ्ना लुगाहरू धुन लगा ।
11 and be ready on the third day because that is when the Lord will descend upon Mount Sinai in the full view of everyone.
तेस्रो दिनमा तयार भएर बस् किनकि तेस्रो दिनमा परमप्रभु सीनै पर्वतमा ओर्लिआउनुहुनेछ ।
12 Set up a boundary for the people all around and warn them, ‘Watch out! Don't try to go up the mountain—don't even touch it! For anyone who touches the mountain will most certainly be killed. Don't touch any person or any animal that has touched the mountain.
तैँले मानिसहरूका लागि पर्वतको वरिपरि सिमाना लगाउनू । तिनीहरूलाई भन्नू, 'तिमीहरू पर्वतमा उक्लेर नजाओ वा यसको सिमानालाई नछोओ । जसले पर्वतलाई छुन्छ त्यो निश्चय नै मारिनेछ ।'
13 Make sure they are stoned or shot with arrows—they must not be allowed to live.’ Only when there is a long blast on the ram's horn can the people come up the mountain.”
यस्तो व्यक्तिलाई कसैको हातले छुनुहुँदैन । बरु, उसलाई निश्चय नै ढुङ्गाले वा काँडले हानेर मारिनुपर्छ । चाहे त्यो मानिस होस् वा पशु त्यसलाई मारिनैपर्छ । जब तुरही लामो समयसम्म बज्छ तिनीहरू पर्वतको फेदीमा आउनुपर्छ ।”
14 Moses went down the mountain and prepared the people spiritually and they washed their clothes.
तब मोशा पर्वतबाट झरेर मानिसहरूकहाँ गए । तिनले मानिसहरूलाई परमप्रभुको निम्ति अलग गरे र तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्ना लुगाहरू धोए ।
15 He instructed the people, “Get ready for the third day, and don't be intimate with a woman.”
तिनले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “तेस्रो दिनमा तयार होओ । सहवास नगर ।”
16 When morning came on the third day there was thunder and lightning, and a thick cloud covered the mountain. There was the very loud sound of a ram's horn, and everyone in the camp shook with fear.
तेस्रो दिनमा जब बिहान भयो गर्जन सुनियो र बिजुली चम्क्यो अनि पर्वतमा एउटा बाक्लो बादल देखा पर्यो र तुरहीको ठुलो आवाज आयो । छाउनीमा भएका सबै मानिस थरथर काँपे ।
17 Moses led the people out from the camp to meet God. They stood at the foot of the mountain.
परमेश्वरलाई भेट्न मोशाले मानिसहरूलाई छाउनी बाहिर ल्याए, र तिनीहरू पर्वतको फेदीमा खडा भए ।
18 Smoke poured out over the whole of Mount Sinai because the Lord's presence had come down like fire. The smoke rose up like smoke from a furnace, and the whole mountain shook furiously.
सीनै पर्वत पुरै धुवाँले भरिएको थियो किनकि परमप्रभु आगो र धुवाँमा यसमा ओर्लनुभएको थियो । भट्टीको धुवाँजस्तै गरी धुवाँ माथि गयो, र पुरै पर्वत बेस्सरी हल्लियो ।
19 As the sound of the ram's horn grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him in a loud, thunderous voice.
जब तुरहीको आवाज झनझन चर्को हुँदै गयो मोशा बोल्न लागे र परमप्रभुले तिनलाई सुन्ने गरी जवाफ दिनुभयो ।
20 The Lord descended on the top of Mount Sinai, and he called Moses to come up there. So Moses went up,
परमप्रभु सीनै पर्वतको टुप्पोमा ओर्लनुभयो, र उहाँले मोशालाई टुप्पोमा बोलाउनुभयो । त्यसैले मोशा माथि उक्ले ।
21 and the Lord told him, “Go back down, and warn the people not to force their way across the boundary to try to come to the Lord or they will die.
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “तल ओर्लेर गएर मानिसहरूलाई होसियार गरा नत्रता तिनीहरूले सिमाना नाघेमा धेरै जना नष्ट हुनेछन् ।
22 Even the priests, who come before the Lord, must prepare themselves spiritually, so that the Lord does not punish them.”
मेरो नजिक आउने पुजारीहरूले पनि आ-आफूलाई शुद्ध तुल्याऊन्, मेरो आगमनको लागि तिनीहरू तयार रहून् ताकि मैले तिनीहरूलाई प्रहार गर्न नपरोस् ।”
23 But Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot come up Mount Sinai. You yourself warned us, ‘Set up a boundary around the mountain, and treat it as holy.’”
मोशाले परमप्रभुलाई भने, “मानिसहरू सीनै पर्वतमा आउन सक्दैनन् किनकि तपाईंले हामीलाई यसरी आज्ञा दिनुभएको छः पर्वतको वरिपरि सिमाना लगाउनू र त्यो परमप्रभुको लागि अलग गर्नू' ।”
24 The Lord told him, “Go down and bring Aaron back up with you. But the priests and the people must not force their way to come up to the Lord, or he will punish them.”
परमप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “जा, तँ आफै पर्वतबाट तल ओर्लेर जा, तँसँगै हारूलाई मकहाँ लिएर आइज । तर मकहाँ आउन पुजारीहरू र मानिसहरूले सिमाना ननाघून् नत्रता मैले तिनीहरूलाई प्रहार गर्नेछु ।”
25 So Moses went down and explained to the people what the Lord had said.
त्यसैले मोशा मानिसहरूकहाँ तल ओर्लेर गई तिनीहरूलाई यी कुरा बताइदिए ।
