< प्रस्थान 32 >
1 जब मानिसहरूले मोशा पर्वतबाट आउन ढिलाइ गरेको देखे तिनीहरू हारूनको वरिपरि भेला भई तिनलाई भने, “हाम्रो अगिअगि जाने एउटा मूर्ति बनाऔँ । हामीलाई मिश्र देशबाट बाहिर ल्याउने मोशालाई के भयो हामी जान्दैनौँ ।”
And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, the people assembled themselves together around Aaron, and they said unto him, Up, make us gods, that shall go before us; for of this man Moses, who hath brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.
2 त्यसैले हारूनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूका पत्नीहरू र छोराछोरीहरूका कानमा भएका सुनका कुण्डलहरू फुकाली मकहाँ लेओ ।”
And Aaron said unto them, Take out the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
3 सबै मानिसले तिनीहरूका कानमा लगाएका कुण्डलहरू फुकाली हारूनकहाँ ल्याए ।
And all the people took out the golden earrings, which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
4 तिनले तिनीहरूबाट पाएको सुनलाई हतियारले खोपेर बाछाको एउटा मूर्ति बनाए । तब मानिसहरूले भने, “हे इस्राएल हो, मिश्रबाट तिमीहरूलाई बाहिर निकालेर ल्याउने देव यिनै हुन् ।”
And he took them from their hand, and fashioned it in a mould, and he made of it a molten calf; and they said, These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
5 हारूनले यो देखेपछि तिनले बाछाको सामु एउटा वेदी बनाए र यस्तो घोषणा गरे, “भोलि परमप्रभुको आदरको लागि एउटा चाड हुनेछ ।”
And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron called out, and said, A feast unto the Lord is tomorrow.
6 भोलिपल्ट मानिसहरू सबेरै उठे र तिनीहरूले होमबलि र मेलबलि चढाए । तब तिनीहरू खान र पिउनलाई बसे अनि मोजमा डुब्न लागे ।
And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt-offerings, and brought near peace-offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
7 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “चाँडै तल ओर्ली, किनकि तैँले मिश्र देशबाट बाहिर ल्याएका मानिसहरूले आफैलाई भ्रष्ट पारिसकेका छन् ।
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, hath become corrupt:
8 मैले आज्ञा गरेको मार्गबाट तिनीहरू चाँडै नै विचलित भएका छन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना लागि गाईको मूर्ति बनाएर यसको पूजा गरेका छन् र बलिदान चढाएका छन् । तिनीहरूले भनेका छन् 'हे इस्राएल हो, मिश्र देशबाट तिमीहरूलाई बाहिर ल्याउने देव यिनै हुन्' ।”
They have turned aside quickly from the way which I have commanded them; they have made themselves a molten calf: and they have bowed themselves to it, and have sacrificed unto it, and have said, These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
9 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “मैले यो जातिलाई देखेको छु । हेर्, तिनीहरू हठी मानिसहरू हुन् ।
And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people.
10 अब मलाई रोक्ने कोसिस नगर् । मेरो क्रोध तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा दन्कनेछ । त्यसैले म तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नेछु । तब म तँबाट नै एउटा ठुलो जाति बनाउनेछु ।”
And now let me alone, and my wrath shall wax hot against them, and I will make an end of them; and I will make of thee a great nation.
11 तर मोशाले परमप्रभु तिनका परमेश्वरलाई शान्त पार्न खोजे । तिनले भने, “हे परमप्रभु, आफ्नो ठुलो सामर्थ्य र शक्तिशाली हातले मिश्र देशबाट तपाईंले बाहिर ल्याउनुभएका यी मानिसहरूको विरुद्ध तपाईंको क्रोध किन दन्किने?
Thereupon Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Why, O Lord, shall thy wrath wax hot against thy people, that thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt, with great power and with a mighty hand?
12 मिश्रीहरूले किन यसो भन्ने, 'तिनीहरूलाई पर्वतमा लगेर मार्न र पृथ्वीको सतहबाट नष्ट गर्न उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई दुष्ट मनसाय लिएर बाहिर निकाल्नुभयो?' आफ्नो क्रोधलाई शान्त पार्नुहोस् र यो जातिलाई दण्ड दिनबाट मन बद्लनुहोस् ।
Wherefore should the Egyptians say thus, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to destroy them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent thee of the evil decreed against thy people.
13 तपाईंका दासहरू अब्राहाम, इसहाक र इस्राएललाई सम्झनुहोस् जसलाई तपाईंले आफ्नै खातिर यसो भनेर शपथ खानुभएको थियो, 'म तिमीहरूका सन्तानहरूलाई आकाशको ताराजत्तिकै बढाउनेछु र मैले तिमीहरूका सन्तानहरूलाई दिने भनेका यी सबै देश दिनेछु । तिनीहरूले सदाको लागि यसको अधिकार गर्नेछन्' ।”
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou didst swear by thy own self, and speak unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven; and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.
14 तब आफ्नो जातिलाई हानि गर्नदेखि परमप्रभुले आफ्नो मन बद्लनुभयो ।
And the Lord bethought himself of the evil which he had spoken to do unto his people.
15 तब मोशा फर्केर आफ्ना हातमा करारका दुईवटा शिला-पाटी लिएर पर्वतबाट तल ओर्ले । शिला-पाटीहरूका अगाडि र पछाडि दुवैपट्टि लेखिएका थिए ।
And Moses turned about, and went down from the mount with the two tables of the testimony in his hand: tables inscribed on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they inscribed.
16 ती शिला-पाटीहरू परमेश्वरका आफ्नै काम थिए, र त्यो उहाँले नै खोपेर लेख्नुभएको थियो ।
And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved upon the tables.
17 यहोशूले मानिसहरू चिच्च्याइरहेको आवाज सुनेपछि तिनले मोशालाई भने, “छाउनीमा त लडाइँको आवाज पो सुनिँदै छ त ।”
And Joshua heard the noise of the people in its shouting, and he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
18 तर मोशाले भने, “यो विजेताको आवाज होइन, न त पराजितहरूको आवाज हो, तर म त गीत गाइरहेको आवाज सुन्दै छु ।”
And he said, It is not the voice of a shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of a cry for defeat; the noise of singing do I hear.
19 जब मोशा छाउनी नजिक आइपुगे तिनले बाछो र मानिसहरू नाचिरहेका देखे । तिनी बेसरी रिसाए । तिनले आफ्ना हातबाट ती शिला-पाटीहरू फालिदिए, पर्वतको फेदीमा नै फुटाइदिए ।
And it came to pass, when he came nigh unto the camp, and he saw the calf, and the dancing: that the anger of Moses waxed hot, and he cast from his hands the tables, and broke them at the foot of the mount.
20 तिनले मानिसहरूले बनाएका त्यस बाछोलाई लिएर जलाइदिए अनि धुलोपिठो बनाएर पानीमा छरिदिए, अनि तिनले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई त्यो पिउन लगाए ।
And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in fire, and ground it to a powder, and he strewed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
21 तब मोशाले हारूनलाई भने, “यी मानिसहरूले तपाईंलाई के गरे जसले गर्दा तपाईंले तिनीहरूमाथि यति ठुलो पाप ल्याउनुभयो?”
And Moses said unto Aaron, What hath this people done unto thee, that thou hast brought upon it so great a sin?
22 हारूनले भने, “मेरा मालिक, ममाथि हजुरको क्रोध नदन्कियोस् । तपाईं त यी मानिसहरूलाई जान्नुहुन्छ कि तिनीहरू खराबी गर्न उद्यत छन् ।
And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my Lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that it is bent on mischief.
23 तिनीहरूले मलाई भने, 'हाम्रो अगिअगि जाने एउटा देव बनाऊ । हामीलाई मिश्र देशबाट बाहिर निकालेर ल्याउने मोशालाई के भयो हामी जान्दैनौँ ।'
And they said unto me, Make us gods that shall go before us; for of this man Moses, who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath become of him.
24 तब मैले तिनीहरूलाई भनेँ, 'जो-जोसँग सुन छ, तिनीहरूले फुकालून् ।' तिनीहरूले मलाई सुन दिए र मैले त्यसलाई आगोमा फाल्दा यही बाछो बनेर आयो ।”
And I said unto them, Who hath any gold? They took it off themselves and gave it to me, and I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
25 मानिसहरू छाडा भइसकेका थिए भनी मोशाले देखे (किनकि हारूनले तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूका सामु हाँसोको पात्र हुन दिएर तिनीहरूलाई अनियन्त्रित हुन छाडिदिएका थिए) ।
And Moses saw the people that it had become unruly; for Aaron had made it unruly for a disgrace among their opponents.
26 तब मोशा छाउनीको प्रवेशद्वारमा खडा भएर भने, “जो-जो परमप्रभुपट्टि छन्, तिनीहरू मकहाँ आओ ।” सबै लेवी तिनको वरिपरि भेला भए ।
Moses then placed himself in the gate of the camp, and said, Whoever is on the Lord's side, let him come unto me! and there assembled themselves unto him all the sons of Levi.
27 तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हरेकले आ-आफ्नो तरवार भिरेर छाउनीको एक छेउदेखि अर्को छेउसम्म ढोका-ढोकासम्म गएर हरेकले आफ्ना भाइ, आफ्ना मित्र र छिमेकीलाई मार' ।”
And he said unto them, Thus hath said the Eternal, the God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword by his side, and go ye hither and thither, from gate to gate in the camp, and slay ye every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his relative.
28 मोशाले आज्ञा गरेमुताबिक लेवीहरूले गरे । त्यस दिन करिब तिन हजार मानिस मरे ।
And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people on that day about three thousand men.
29 मोशाले लेवीहरूलाई भने, “आज तिमीहरू परमप्रभुको सेवामा राखिएका छौ किनकि आज परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई आशिष् देऊन् भनेर तिमीहरू हरेकले आ-आफ्ना छोरा र भाइको विरुद्धमा कारबाही गरेका छौ ।”
And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord, yea even every man on his son, and on his brother; and to bestow upon you this day a blessing.
30 भोलिपल्ट मोशाले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले भयङ्कर ठुलो पाप गरेका छौ । अब म परमप्रभुकहाँ उक्लेर जानेछु । सायद मैले तिमीहरूको पापको लागि प्रायश्चित्त गर्न सक्छु कि ।”
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the Lord; peradventure I may obtain an atonement for your sin.
31 मोशा परमप्रभुकहाँ फर्केर आए र भने, “हाय! यी मानिसहरूले ठुलो पाप गरेका छन् र तिनीहरूले सुनको मूर्ति बनाएका छन् ।
And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Oh, this people hath sinned a great sin, and they have made themselves gods of gold.
32 तर अब तिनीहरूका पाप क्षमा गरिदिनुहोस् । क्षमा गर्नुहुन्न भनेता तपाईंले लेख्नुभएको पुस्तकबाट मेरो नाउँ मेटिदिनुहोस् ।”
Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin—; but if not, blot me out, I pray thee, from thy book which thou hast written.
33 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “जसले मेरो विरुद्धमा पाप गरेको छ, म मेरो पुस्तकबाट त्यसकै नाउँ मेटिदिनेछु ।
And the Lord said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out from my book.
34 अब, गएर मैले तँलाई भनेको स्थानमा यी मानिसहरूलाई अगुवाइ गरेर लैजा । हेर्, मेरा दूत तेरो अगिअगि जानेछन् । तर त्यस दिन तिनीहरूका पापका लागि म तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनेछु ।”
And now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee; behold, my angel shall go before thee; but on the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
35 हारूनले बनाएको बाछोको कारण परमप्रभुले मानिसहरूमाथि विपत्ति ल्याउनुभयो ।
And the Lord sent a plague among the people, because that they had made the calf which Aaron made.
