< Exodus 24 >
1 He said to Moses, "Come up to YHWH, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and 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 Moses alone shall come near to God, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him."
मोशा मात्र मेरो नजिक आउन सक्छ । अरूहरू मेरो नजिक नआउनू न त मानिसहरू नै तिनीहरूसित आउनू ।”
3 Moses came and told the people all the words of God, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, "All the words which YHWH has spoken will we do."
मोशा गएर परमप्रभुका वचनहरू र विधिविधानहरू मानिसहरूलाई सुनाइदिए । सबै मानिसले एकै सोरमा भने, “परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएका सबै वचन हामी पालन गर्नेछौँ ।”
4 Moses wrote all the words of YHWH, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and 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 He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to God.
तिनले परमप्रभुका निम्ति केही इस्राएली जवानहरूलाई गोरुको होमबलि र मेलबलि चढाउन पठाए ।
6 Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
मोशाले आधा रगत लिएर त्यसलाई कचौरामा हाले । तिनले बाँकी आधा रगत भने वेदीमा छर्के ।
7 He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, "All that YHWH has spoken will we do, and be obedient."
तिनले करारको पुस्तक लिएर मानिसहरूले सुन्ने गरी चर्को सोरमा पढे । तिनीहरूले भने, “परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएका सबै कुरा हामी पालन गर्नेछौँ । हामी आज्ञाकारी बन्नेछौँ ।”
8 Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, "This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you concerning all 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, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.
तब मोशा, हारून, नादाब, अबीहू र इस्राएलका सत्तरी जना धर्म-गुरु पर्वतमाथि उक्लेर गए ।
10 They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.
तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका परमेश्वरलाई देखे । उहाँको पाउमुनि आकाशजस्तै सफा नीरबाट निर्मित बाटो थियो ।
11 He did not lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.
परमेश्वरले इस्राएली अगुवाहरूमाथि आफ्नो हात उठाउनुभएन । तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरलाई देखे अनि तिनीहरूले खाए र पिए ।
12 YHWH said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the tablets of stone with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach 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 Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God's Mountain.
त्यसैले मोशा आफ्ना सहयोगी यहोशूसँगै परमेश्वरको पर्वतमा उक्लेर गए ।
14 He said to the elders, "Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Look, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can 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 Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.
त्यसैले मोशा पर्वतमा उक्लेर गए, अनि बादलले पर्वतलाई ढाक्यो ।
16 The glory of God settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.
परमप्रभुको महिमा सीनै पर्वतमा आएर बस्यो, र बादलले छ दिनसम्म यसलाई ढाक्यो । सातौँ दिनमा उहाँले बादलभित्रबाट मोशालाई डाक्नुभयो ।
17 The appearance of the glory of YHWH was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.
इस्राएलीहरूको दृष्टिमा पर्वतको टुप्पोमा परमप्रभुको महिमाको प्रकटीकरण भस्म गर्ने आगोझैँ देखा पर्यो ।
18 Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
मोशा बादलभित्र प्रवेश गरी पर्वतमा उक्ले । तिनी चालिस दिन चालिस रातसम्म पर्वतमा रहे ।
