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 ।”
[(Moses/I) stayed on top of the mountain a long time]. When the people realized that he/I was not returning quickly, they gathered near Aaron and said to him, “We do not know what has happened to that man Moses who brought us here out of Egypt. So quickly, make us ([an idol/a statue of a god]) who will lead us!”
2 त्यसैले हारूनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूका पत्नीहरू र छोराछोरीहरूका कानमा भएका सुनका कुण्डलहरू फुकाली मकहाँ लेओ ।”
Aaron replied to them, “All right, [I will do that, but] tell your wives and your sons and your daughters to take off all their gold earrings and bring them to me.”
3 सबै मानिसले तिनीहरूका कानमा लगाएका कुण्डलहरू फुकाली हारूनकहाँ ल्याए ।
So the people did that. They took off all their gold earrings and brought them to 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 ।”
He took all those gold earrings and melted them in a fire. He [poured the gold into a mold and] made a statue that looked like a young bull. The people saw it and said, “This is the god of us Israeli people! This is the one who brought us up from 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 ।”
When Aaron saw [what was happening], he built an altar in front of the [statue of the] young bull. Then he announced, “Tomorrow we will have a festival to honor Yahweh!”
6 भोलिपल्ट मानिसहरू सबेरै उठे र तिनीहरूले होमबलि र मेलबलि चढाए । तब तिनीहरू खान र पिउनलाई बसे अनि मोजमा डुब्न लागे ।
So the people got up early the next morning and brought animals to kill and burn as sacrifices on the altar. They also brought sacrifices to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. Then they sat down to eat and drink [wine]. Then they got up and started dancing in a very immoral way.
7 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “चाँडै तल ओर्ली, किनकि तैँले मिश्र देशबाट बाहिर ल्याएका मानिसहरूले आफैलाई भ्रष्ट पारिसकेका छन् ।
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go back down from the mountain, because your people, the ones that you brought up here from Egypt, have [already] (become very depraved/wicked)!
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 already (left the road that I showed them/stopped obeying me)! They have made [a statue of] a young bull from melted gold. They have worshiped it and offered sacrifices to it. And they are saying, ‘This is the god of us Israeli people! This is the one who brought us up from Egypt!’”
9 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “मैले यो जातिलाई देखेको छु । हेर्, तिनीहरू हठी मानिसहरू हुन् ।
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “I have seen that these people are very stubborn.
10 अब मलाई रोक्ने कोसिस नगर् । मेरो क्रोध तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा दन्कनेछ । त्यसैले म तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नेछु । तब म तँबाट नै एउटा ठुलो जाति बनाउनेछु ।”
I am very angry with them, and so I am going to get rid of them. Do not try to stop me! Then I will cause you and your descendants to become 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?
But Moses/I pleaded with his/my God, Yahweh, and said, “Yahweh, (you should not be very angry with your people!/why are you so angry with your people [RHQ]?) These are the people whom you rescued from Egypt with very great power [MTY, DOU]!
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 ।
Do not [do anything that would] allow the people of Egypt to say, ‘Their god led them out from our country, but [he did that] only [because he wanted] to kill them in the mountains and get rid of them completely [RHQ]!’ Stop being so angry! (Change your mind/Do not do what you have told me that you will do)! Do not do to your people this terrible thing [that you have just said that you will do]
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' ।”
Think about your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You solemnly promised them, ‘I will enable you to have as many descendants as there are stars in the sky.’ You said to them, ‘I will give to your descendants all the land that I am promising to give them. It will be their land forever.’”
14 तब आफ्नो जातिलाई हानि गर्नदेखि परमप्रभुले आफ्नो मन बद्लनुभयो ।
So Yahweh changed his mind. He did not do to his people the terrible thing that he said he would do.
15 तब मोशा फर्केर आफ्ना हातमा करारका दुईवटा शिला-पाटी लिएर पर्वतबाट तल ओर्ले । शिला-पाटीहरूका अगाडि र पछाडि दुवैपट्टि लेखिएका थिए ।
Moses/I turned away from God and went down the mountain, carrying in his hands the two stone slabs on which Yahweh had engraved his commandments. He had written on both sides of the slabs.
16 ती शिला-पाटीहरू परमेश्वरका आफ्नै काम थिए, र त्यो उहाँले नै खोपेर लेख्नुभएको थियो ।
God [himself] had made the slabs, and he was the one who had engraved the commandments on them.
17 यहोशूले मानिसहरू चिच्च्याइरहेको आवाज सुनेपछि तिनले मोशालाई भने, “छाउनीमा त लडाइँको आवाज पो सुनिँदै छ त ।”
Joshua heard the very loud noise of the people shouting. So when he and I got near the camp, Joshua said, “There is a noise in the camp that sounds like [the noise of] a battle!”
18 तर मोशाले भने, “यो विजेताको आवाज होइन, न त पराजितहरूको आवाज हो, तर म त गीत गाइरहेको आवाज सुन्दै छु ।”
But Moses/I replied, [“No], that is not the shouting that people do when they have won a victory or when they have been defeated [in a battle] What I hear is the sound of [loud] singing!”
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 ।
As soon as Moses/I came close to the camp and saw the statue of the young bull and saw the people dancing, he/I became extremely angry. He/I threw the stone tablets that he/I was carrying down onto the ground, there at the base of the mountain.
20 तिनले मानिसहरूले बनाएका त्यस बाछोलाई लिएर जलाइदिए अनि धुलोपिठो बनाएर पानीमा छरिदिए, अनि तिनले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई त्यो पिउन लगाए ।
Then he/I took the statue of the young bull that they had made and melted it in the fire. [When it cooled], he/I ground it into [fine] powder. Then he/I mixed the powder with water and forced the Israeli people to drink it.
21 तब मोशाले हारूनलाई भने, “यी मानिसहरूले तपाईंलाई के गरे जसले गर्दा तपाईंले तिनीहरूमाथि यति ठुलो पाप ल्याउनुभयो?”
Then he/I said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you, with the result that you have made them commit such a terrible sin?”
22 हारूनले भने, “मेरा मालिक, ममाथि हजुरको क्रोध नदन्कियोस् । तपाईं त यी मानिसहरूलाई जान्नुहुन्छ कि तिनीहरू खराबी गर्न उद्यत छन् ।
Aaron replied, “Please do not be angry with me, sir. You know that these people are very determined to do evil things.
23 तिनीहरूले मलाई भने, 'हाम्रो अगिअगि जाने एउटा देव बनाऊ । हामीलाई मिश्र देशबाट बाहिर निकालेर ल्याउने मोशालाई के भयो हामी जान्दैनौँ ।'
They said to me, ‘As for that man Moses, the one who brought us up here from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him. So make for us an idol that will lead us!’
24 तब मैले तिनीहरूलाई भनेँ, 'जो-जोसँग सुन छ, तिनीहरूले फुकालून् ।' तिनीहरूले मलाई सुन दिए र मैले त्यसलाई आगोमा फाल्दा यही बाछो बनेर आयो ।”
So I said to them, ‘Everyone who is wearing [gold earrings] should take them off.’ So they [took them off and] gave them to me. I threw them into the fire, and out came this statue of a young bull!”
25 मानिसहरू छाडा भइसकेका थिए भनी मोशाले देखे (किनकि हारूनले तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूका सामु हाँसोको पात्र हुन दिएर तिनीहरूलाई अनियन्त्रित हुन छाडिदिएका थिए) ।
Moses/I saw that Aaron had allowed the people to become completely out of control and to do things that would make their enemies think the Israeli people were foolish.
26 तब मोशा छाउनीको प्रवेशद्वारमा खडा भएर भने, “जो-जो परमप्रभुपट्टि छन्, तिनीहरू मकहाँ आओ ।” सबै लेवी तिनको वरिपरि भेला भए ।
So he/I stood at the entrance to the camp and shouted, “Everyone who is loyal to Yahweh should come [closer] to me!” So the descendants of Levi gathered around him/me.
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' ।”
Then he/I said to them, “Yahweh, the God of us Israeli people, commands that every one of you should fasten your sword to your side, and then go through the camp from this entrance to the other one, and kill some of your relatives and your companions and your neighbors.”
28 मोशाले आज्ञा गरेमुताबिक लेवीहरूले गरे । त्यस दिन करिब तिन हजार मानिस मरे ।
The descendants of Levi did what Moses/I told them to do, and they killed 3,000 men on that day.
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 ।”
Moses/I said to the descendants of Levi, “Today you have dedicated yourselves to serving Yahweh by (killing/not sparing) [even] your own sons and brothers, and as a result Yahweh will bless you.”
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 ।”
The next day, Moses/I said to the people, “You have committed a terrible sin. But I will now climb up the mountain again to talk with Yahweh. Perhaps I can [persuade him] to forgive you for sinning [like this].”
31 मोशा परमप्रभुकहाँ फर्केर आए र भने, “हाय! यी मानिसहरूले ठुलो पाप गरेका छन् र तिनीहरूले सुनको मूर्ति बनाएका छन् ।
So Moses/I went back up the mountain and said to Yahweh, “I am sorry to admit that these people have committed a terrible sin. They have made for themselves a gold idol and have worshiped it.
32 तर अब तिनीहरूका पाप क्षमा गरिदिनुहोस् । क्षमा गर्नुहुन्न भनेता तपाईंले लेख्नुभएको पुस्तकबाट मेरो नाउँ मेटिदिनुहोस् ।”
But now I ask you to please forgive them for having sinned. If you will not forgive them, then erase my name from the book in which you have written [the names of your people].”
33 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “जसले मेरो विरुद्धमा पाप गरेको छ, म मेरो पुस्तकबाट त्यसकै नाउँ मेटिदिनेछु ।
But Yahweh said to Moses/me, “It is [only] those who have sinned against me whose names I will erase from that 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 ।”
Now you go back down and lead the [Israeli] people to the place that I told you about. Keep in mind that my angel will go in front of you. But, at the time that I determine, I will punish them for their sin.”
35 हारूनले बनाएको बाछोको कारण परमप्रभुले मानिसहरूमाथि विपत्ति ल्याउनुभयो ।
[Later] Yahweh caused a plague to strike the people because they had told Aaron to make the gold [statue of a] young bull.
