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 ।

He said to Moses, “Come up to the LORD, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance.

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

Moses alone shall come near to the LORD, but they shall not come near. The people shall 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 ।”

Moses came and told the people all the LORD’s words, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, “All the words which the LORD has 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 ।

Moses wrote all the LORD’s words, then rose up early in the morning and built an altar at the base of the mountain, with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

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

He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle 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 basins, and half of the blood 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 ।”

He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, “We will do all that the LORD has said, and 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 ।”

Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which the LORD has made with you concerning all these words.”

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

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

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

They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.

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

He didn’t lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and 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 ।”

The LORD said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the stone tablets with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them.”

13 त्यसैले मोशा आफ्ना सहयोगी यहोशूसँगै परमेश्‍वरको पर्वतमा उक्लेर गए ।

Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God’s Mountain.

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 ।”

He said to the elders, “Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them.”

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

Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

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

The LORD’s glory settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the middle of the cloud.

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

The appearance of the LORD’s glory was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.

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

Moses entered into the middle of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
