प्रस्थान 19
1 इस्राएलका मानिसहरू मिश्र देशबाट निस्केको तिन महिना बितेपछि ठिक त्यही दिनमा तिनीहरू सीनैको उजाड-स्थानमा आइपुगे ।
In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.
2 तिनीहरू रपीदीमबाट सीनैको उजाड-स्थानमा आइपुगेपछि तिनीहरूले पर्वतको सामुन्ने उजाड-स्थानमा छाउनी हाले ।
When they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mountain.
3 मोशा परमेश्वरकहाँ माथि उक्लेर गए । परमप्रभुले पर्वतबाट तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तैँले याकूबको घराना अर्थात् इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई यसो भन्नूः
Moses went up to God, and Yahweh called to him out of the mountain, saying, “This is what you shall tell the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:
4 मैले मिश्रीहरूलाई के गरेँ, र मैले कसरी तिमीहरूलाई गरुडको पखेटामा बोकेर मकहाँ ल्याएँ भनी तिमीहरूले देखेका छौ ।
‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to myself.
5 अब तिमीहरूले आज्ञाकारितापूर्वक मेरो कुरा सुन्यौ र मेरो करार पालन गर्यौ भने सबै जातिमध्ये तिमीहरूचाहिँ मेरो विशेष सम्पत्ति हुनेछौ किनकि सबै पृथ्वी मेरै हुन् ।
Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from among all peoples; for all the earth is mine;
6 तिमीहरू मेरा लागि पुजारीहरूका राज्य र पवित्र जाति हुनेछौ । तैँले यी वचनहरू इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई बताउनू ।”
and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”
7 मोशा ओर्लेर आई मानिसहरूका धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई बोलाउन पठाए । परमप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभएका सबै वचन तिनले तिनीहरूका सामु राखे ।
Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which Yahweh commanded him.
8 सबै मानिसले सँगसँगै जवाफ दिए, “परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएका सबै कुरा हामी गर्नेछौँ ।” तब मानिसहरूका वचन परमप्रभुलाई भन्न मोशा आए ।
All the people answered together, and said, “All that Yahweh has spoken we will do.” Moses reported the words of the people to Yahweh.
9 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 ।
Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever.” Moses told the words of the people to Yahweh.
10 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “मानिसहरूकहाँ जा । आज र भोलि तैँले तिनीहरूलाई मेरो लागि अलग गर् र तिनीहरूका आ-आफ्ना लुगाहरू धुन लगा ।
Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,
11 तेस्रो दिनमा तयार भएर बस् किनकि तेस्रो दिनमा परमप्रभु सीनै पर्वतमा ओर्लिआउनुहुनेछ ।
and be ready for the third day; for on the third day Yahweh will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai.
12 तैँले मानिसहरूका लागि पर्वतको वरिपरि सिमाना लगाउनू । तिनीहरूलाई भन्नू, 'तिमीहरू पर्वतमा उक्लेर नजाओ वा यसको सिमानालाई नछोओ । जसले पर्वतलाई छुन्छ त्यो निश्चय नै मारिनेछ ।'
You shall set bounds to the people all around, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t go up onto the mountain, or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to death.
13 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 ।”
No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether it is animal or man, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mountain.”
14 तब मोशा पर्वतबाट झरेर मानिसहरूकहाँ गए । तिनले मानिसहरूलाई परमप्रभुको निम्ति अलग गरे र तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्ना लुगाहरू धोए ।
Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
15 तिनले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “तेस्रो दिनमा तयार होओ । सहवास नगर ।”
He said to the people, “Be ready by the third day. Don’t have sexual relations with a woman.”
16 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 ।
On the third day, when it was morning, there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of an exceedingly loud trumpet; and all the people who were in the camp trembled.
17 परमेश्वरलाई भेट्न मोशाले मानिसहरूलाई छाउनी बाहिर ल्याए, र तिनीहरू पर्वतको फेदीमा खडा भए ।
Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the lower part of the mountain.
18 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 ।
All of Mount Sinai smoked, because Yahweh descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.
19 जब तुरहीको आवाज झनझन चर्को हुँदै गयो मोशा बोल्न लागे र परमप्रभुले तिनलाई सुन्ने गरी जवाफ दिनुभयो ।
When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
20 परमप्रभु सीनै पर्वतको टुप्पोमा ओर्लनुभयो, र उहाँले मोशालाई टुप्पोमा बोलाउनुभयो । त्यसैले मोशा माथि उक्ले ।
Yahweh came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. Yahweh called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
21 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “तल ओर्लेर गएर मानिसहरूलाई होसियार गरा नत्रता तिनीहरूले सिमाना नाघेमा धेरै जना नष्ट हुनेछन् ।
Yahweh said to Moses, “Go down, warn the people, lest they break through to Yahweh to gaze, and many of them perish.
22 मेरो नजिक आउने पुजारीहरूले पनि आ-आफूलाई शुद्ध तुल्याऊन्, मेरो आगमनको लागि तिनीहरू तयार रहून् ताकि मैले तिनीहरूलाई प्रहार गर्न नपरोस् ।”
Let the priests also, who come near to Yahweh, sanctify themselves, lest Yahweh break out on them.”
23 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' ।”
Moses said to Yahweh, “The people can’t come up to Mount Sinai, for you warned us, saying, ‘Set bounds around the mountain, and sanctify it.’”
24 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 ।”
Yahweh said to him, “Go down! You shall bring Aaron up with you, but don’t let the priests and the people break through to come up to Yahweh, lest he break out against them.”
25 त्यसैले मोशा मानिसहरूकहाँ तल ओर्लेर गई तिनीहरूलाई यी कुरा बताइदिए ।
So Moses went down to the people, and told them.
