प्रस्थान 24

1 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तँ, हारून, नादाब, अबीहू र इस्राएलका सत्तरी जना धर्म-गुरु मकहाँ उक्लेर आओ र केही दूरी राखेर मेरो आराधना गर ।

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to the LORD—you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of Israel’s elders—and you are to worship at a distance.

2 मोशा मात्र मेरो नजिक आउन सक्छ । अरूहरू मेरो नजिक नआउनू न त मानिसहरू नै तिनीहरूसित आउनू ।”

Moses alone shall approach the LORD, but the others must not come near. And the people may not go up with him.”

3 मोशा गएर परमप्रभुका वचनहरू र विधिविधानहरू मानिसहरूलाई सुनाइदिए । सबै मानिसले एकै सोरमा भने, “परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभएका सबै वचन हामी पालन गर्नेछौँ ।”

When Moses came and told the people all the words and ordinances of the LORD, they all responded with one voice: “All the words that the LORD has spoken, we will do.”

4 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 ।

And Moses wrote down all the words of the LORD. Early the next morning he got up and built an altar at the base of the mountain, along with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

5 तिनले परमप्रभुका निम्ति केही इस्राएली जवानहरूलाई गोरुको होमबलि र मेलबलि चढाउन पठाए ।

Then he sent out some young men of Israel, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as peace offerings to the LORD.

6 मोशाले आधा रगत लिएर त्यसलाई कचौरामा हाले । तिनले बाँकी आधा रगत भने वेदीमा छर्के ।

Moses took half of the blood and put it in bowls, and the other half he sprinkled on the altar.

7 तिनले करारको पुस्तक लिएर मानिसहरूले सुन्‍ने गरी चर्को सोरमा पढे । तिनीहरूले भने, “परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभएका सबै कुरा हामी पालन गर्नेछौँ । हामी आज्ञाकारी बन्‍नेछौँ ।”

Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people, who replied, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient.”

8 तब मोशाले रगत लिएर त्यसलाई मानिसहरूमाथि छर्के । तिनले भने, “यी सबै वचनसहित तिमीहरूलाई यो प्रतिज्ञा दिएर यो परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूसित बाँध्‍नुभएको करारको रगत हो ।”

So Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words.”

9 तब मोशा, हारून, नादाब, अबीहू र इस्राएलका सत्तरी जना धर्म-गुरु पर्वतमाथि उक्लेर गए ।

Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,

10 तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरलाई देखे । उहाँको पाउमुनि आकाशजस्तै सफा नीरबाट निर्मित बाटो थियो ।

and they saw the God of Israel. Under His feet was a work like a pavement made of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself.

11 परमेश्‍वरले इस्राएली अगुवाहरूमाथि आफ्नो हात उठाउनुभएन । तिनीहरूले परमेश्‍वरलाई देखे अनि तिनीहरूले खाए र पिए ।

But God did not lay His hand on the nobles of Israel; they saw Him, and they ate and drank.

12 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “माथि पर्तवमा मकहाँ उक्लेर आइज र यहाँ बस् । म तँलाई व्यवस्था र आज्ञाहरू लेखिएका शिला-पाटीहरू दिनेछु अनि तैँले तिनीहरूलाई सिका ।”

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and stay here, so that I may give you the tablets of stone, with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.”

13 त्यसैले मोशा आफ्ना सहयोगी यहोशूसँगै परमेश्‍वरको पर्वतमा उक्लेर गए ।

So Moses set out with Joshua his attendant and went up on the mountain of God.

14 मोशाले धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई भनेका थिए, “यहीँ बस्‍नुहोस् र हामी तपाईंहरूकहाँ नआउञ्‍जेलसम्म पर्खेर बस्‍नुहोस् । हारून र हूर तपाईंहरूसितै छन् । कसैको केही वादविवाद भएमा तिनीहरूकहाँ जानू ।”

And he said to the elders, “Wait here for us until we return to you. Aaron and Hur are here with you. Whoever has a dispute can go to them.”

15 त्यसैले मोशा पर्वतमा उक्लेर गए, अनि बादलले पर्वतलाई ढाक्यो ।

When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it,

16 परमप्रभुको महिमा सीनै पर्वतमा आएर बस्यो, र बादलले छ दिनसम्म यसलाई ढाक्यो । सातौँ दिनमा उहाँले बादलभित्रबाट मोशालाई डाक्‍नुभयो ।

and the glory of the LORD settled on Mount Sinai. For six days the cloud covered it, and on the seventh day the LORD called to Moses from within the cloud.

17 इस्राएलीहरूको दृष्‍टिमा पर्वतको टुप्पोमा परमप्रभुको महिमाको प्रकटीकरण भस्म गर्ने आगोझैँ देखा पर्‍यो ।

And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like a consuming fire on the mountaintop in the eyes of the Israelites.

18 मोशा बादलभित्र प्रवेश गरी पर्वतमा उक्ले । तिनी चालिस दिन चालिस रातसम्म पर्वतमा रहे ।

Moses entered the cloud as he went up on the mountain, and he remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
