< Exodus 33 >

1 Then the Lord told Moses, “Leave this place, you and the people you led out of Egypt, and go to the land I promised with an oath to give to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, telling them, ‘I will give this land to your descendants.’
तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “मिश्र देशबाट तैँले ल्याएका मानिसहरूसँगै यहाँबाट जा । त्यो देशमा जा जसको विषयमा 'म तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई यो दिनेछु' भनी अब्राहाम, इसहाक, र याकूबसित मैले शपथ खाएको थिएँ ।
2 I will send an angel out in front of you, and I will drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
म तेरो अगिअगि एउटा दूत पठाउनेछु, र कनानी, एमोरी, हित्ती, परिज्‍जी, हिव्वी र यबूसीहरूलाई म त्यहाँबाट धपाउनेछु ।
3 Enter a land flowing with milk and honey, but I will not accompany you because you are a rebellious people. Otherwise I would destroy you on the way.”
दूध र मह बग्‍ने त्यस देशमा जा तर मचाहिँ तिमीहरूसँग जानेछैनँ किनकि तिमीहरू हठी मानिसहरू हौ । मैले तिमीहरूलाई बाटैमा नाश गर्न पनि सक्छु ।”
4 When the people heard these words of criticism, they mourned and didn't put on their jewelry.
जब मानिसहरूले यी भयभीत तुल्याउने वचनहरू सुने तिनीहरूले विलाप गरे र कसैले पनि गरगहना लगाएन ।
5 For the Lord had previously told Moses, “Tell the people of Israel, ‘You are a rebellious people. If I was with you for just a moment, I would wipe you out. Now remove your jewelry, and I'll decide what to do with you.’”
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “इस्राएलीहरूलाई भन्, 'तिमीहरू हठी मानिसहरू हौ । म तिमीहरूका बिचमा एकै क्षण मात्र गएँ भने पनि मैले तिमीहरूलाई नष्‍ट गर्न सक्छु । त्यसैले, तिमीहरूले आ-आफ्ना गरगहना फुकाल ताकि तिमीहरूलाई के गर्ने भनी मैले निधो गर्न सकूँ' ।”
6 So the Israelites took off their jewelry from the time they left Mount Sinai.
त्यसैले होरेब पर्वतदेखि इस्राएलीहरूले गरगहना लगाएनन् ।
7 Moses used to set up the Tent of Meeting some way outside the camp. Anyone who wanted to ask the Lord anything could go out there to the Tent of Meeting.
मोशाले पाल लिएर छाउनीभन्दा अलि पर त्यसलाई टाँगे । तिनले यसलाई भेट हुने पाल भने । परमप्रभुलाई कुनै पनि थोकको लागि बिन्ती चढाउन चाहने हरेक व्यक्ति छाउनीबाहिर यही भेट हुने पालमा जान्थ्यो ।
8 Whenever Moses went out to the Tent, all the people would go and stand at the entrance of their tents. They would watch him until he had gone inside.
मोशा पालमा जाँदा सबै मानिस तिनीहरूको पालको प्रवेशद्वारमा खडा हुन्थे र मोशा भित्र प्रवेश नगरुञ्‍जेलसम्म तिनलाई हेर्ने गर्थे ।
9 As soon as Moses went into the Tent, the cloud column would descend and stand in the doorway as the Lord spoke with Moses.
मोशा पालभित्र प्रवेश गर्दा बादलको खाँबो तल झरी पालको प्रवेशद्वारमा अडिन्थ्यो, अनि परमप्रभु मोशासित बोल्नुहुन्थ्यो ।
10 When the people saw the cloud column standing in the doorway to the Tent, everyone would stand up and bow in worship at the entrance of their tents.
कुनै पनि बेला पालको प्रवेशद्वारमा सबै मानिसले बादलको खाँबो देख्दा हरेक व्यक्ति आ-आफ्नो पालको प्रवेशद्वारमा खडा भई त्यसले उहाँको आराधना गर्थ्यो ।
11 Moses would speak to the Lord face to face as you would talk to a friend, and then returned to the camp. However, his young assistant Joshua, son of Nun, stayed in the Tent.
एउटा मानिस आफ्नो साथीसित बोलेजस्तै परमप्रभु आमनेसामने मोशासित बोल्नुहुन्थ्यो । तब मोशा छाउनीमा फर्कन्थे तर तिनका जवान दास अर्थात् नूनका छोरा यहोशूचाहिँ पालमै बस्थे ।
12 Moses said to the Lord, “Look, you've been telling me, ‘Go and lead these people,’ but you haven't let me know who you're going to send with me. And yet you have stated, ‘I know you personally, and I'm happy with you.’
मोशाले परमप्रभुलाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईं मलाई भन्दै हुनुहुन्छ, 'यी मानिसहरूलाई यात्रामा लिएर जा,' तर तपाईंले मसँगै कसलाई पठाउनुहुनेछ भनी बताउनुभएको छैन । तपाईंले भन्‍नुभएको छ, 'म तँलाई नामद्वारै चिन्छु, र तैँले मेरो दृष्‍टिमा निगाह पाएको छस् ।'
13 Now if it's true that you're happy with me, please teach me your ways so I can get to know you, and go on pleasing you. Remember that the people of this nation are yours.”
अब मैले तपाईंको दृष्‍टिमा निगाह पाएको छु भने मलाई तपाईंका मार्गहरू देखाउनुहोस् ताकि तपाईंलाई जान्‍न सकूँ र तपाईंको दृष्‍टिमा निगाह पाइरहन सकूँ । यो जाति तपाईंका मानिसहरू हुन् भनी याद गर्नुहोस् ।”
14 The Lord replied, “I myself will go with you, and I will support you.”
परमप्रभुले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “मेरो आफ्नै उपस्थिति तँसँगै जानेछ, र म तँलाई विश्राम दिनेछु ।”
15 “If you don't go with us yourself, then please don't take us away from here,” Moses responded.
मोशाले उहाँलाई भने, “तपाईंको उपस्थिति मसँगै जाँदैन भने हामीलाई यहाँबाट नलैजानुहोस् ।
16 “How will others know that you are happy with me, and with your people, if you don't accompany us? How would anyone tell us apart—me and your people—from every other people who live on the earth?”
किनकि नत्रता म र मेरा मानिसहरूले तपाईंको दृष्‍टिमा निगाह पाएका छौँ भनी हामीले कसरी थाहा पाउने? पृथ्वीको सतहमा भएका सबै जातिभन्दा तपाईंको जाति र म अलग छु भनेर थाहा पाउने कुरो भनेको तपाईं हामीसँग गएर मात्र हुने होइन र?”
17 The Lord told Moses, “I promise do what you've asked, because I'm happy with you and I know you personally.”
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तैँले अनुरोध गरेको यस कुरालाई पनि म मान्‍नेछु किनकि तैँले मेरो दृष्‍टिमा निगाह पाएको छस्, र म तँलाई नामले नै चिन्छु ।”
18 “Now please reveal to me your glory,” Moses asked.
मोशाले भने, “कृपया, मलाई तपाईंको महिमा देखाइदिनुहोस् ।”
19 “I will make all the goodness of my character pass in front of you, I will call out the name ‘Yahweh,’ I will show grace to those I want to show grace, and I will show mercy to those I want to show mercy.
परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “म तेरै सामु मेरा सबै भलाइ देखाउनेछु, र तेरै सामु मेरो नाउँ 'परमप्रभु' हो भनी घोषणा गर्नेछु । जससित म अनुग्रही हुन चाहन्छु, त्यससित म अनुग्रही हुनेछु, र जसलाई म कृपा देखाउन चाहन्छु, म त्यसलाई कृपा देखाउनेछु ।”
20 But you won't be able to see my face, because no one can see my face and live.”
तर परप्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “तैँले मेरो अनुहार देख्‍न सक्दैनस् किनकि मेरो अनुहार देखेर कोही पनि जीवित रहन सक्दैन ।”
21 “Come here and stand by me on this rock,” the Lord went on,
परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “हेर्, मेरो छेउमा एउटा ठाउँ छ । तँ यो चट्टानमा खडा हो ।
22 “and as my glory goes by I'll put you in a crevice of the rock, and I'll cover you with my hand until I have passed by.
मेरो महिमा त्यहाँबाट भएर जाँदा म तँलाई चट्टानको धाँदोमा राख्‍नेछु र म त्यहाँबाट नगएसम्म तँलाई मेरा हातले ढाकिराख्‍नेछ ।
23 Then I'll take my hand away and you'll see my back; but you won't see my face.”
त्यसपछि म मेरो हात निकाल्नेछु, र तैँले मेरो पिठिउँ देख्‍नेछस्, तर मेरो अनुहारचाहिँ देख्‍नेछैनस् ।”
