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 ।

And unto Moses He said: 'Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off;

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

and Moses alone shall come near unto the LORD; but they shall not come near; neither shall the people 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 ।”

And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said: 'All the words which the Lord hath spoken will we 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 all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the mount, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

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

And he sent the young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt-offerings, and sacrificed peace-offerings of oxen unto the LORD.

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

And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the blood he dashed against 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 ।”

And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the hearing of the people; and they said: 'All that the LORD hath spoken will we do, and obey.'

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

And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said: 'Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you in agreement with all these words.'

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

Then went up Moses, and 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; and there was under His feet the like of a paved work of sapphire stone, and the like of the very heaven for clearness.

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

And upon the nobles of the children of Israel He laid not His hand; and they beheld God, and did eat and drink.

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 ।”

And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Come up to Me into the mount and be there; and I will give thee the tables of stone, and the law and the commandment, which I have written, that thou mayest teach them.'

13 त्यसैले मोशा आफ्ना सहयोगी यहोशूसँगै परमेश्‍वरको पर्वतमा उक्लेर गए ।

And Moses rose up, and Joshua his minister; and Moses went up into the mount 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 unto the elders he said: 'Tarry ye here for us, until we come back unto you; and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you; whosoever hath a cause, let him come near unto them.'

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

And Moses went up into the mount, and the cloud covered the mount.

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 abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days; and the seventh day He called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

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

And the appearance of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.

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

And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up into the mount; and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.
