प्रस्थान 33
1 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “मिश्र देशबाट तैँले ल्याएका मानिसहरूसँगै यहाँबाट जा । त्यो देशमा जा जसको विषयमा 'म तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई यो दिनेछु' भनी अब्राहाम, इसहाक, र याकूबसित मैले शपथ खाएको थिएँ ।
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Go forth, ascend from this place, you and your people, whom you led away from the land of Egypt, into the land that I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying: To your offspring, I will give it.
2 म तेरो अगिअगि एउटा दूत पठाउनेछु, र कनानी, एमोरी, हित्ती, परिज्जी, हिव्वी र यबूसीहरूलाई म त्यहाँबाट धपाउनेछु ।
And I will send an Angel to precede you, so that I may cast out the Canaanite, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite,
3 दूध र मह बग्ने त्यस देशमा जा तर मचाहिँ तिमीहरूसँग जानेछैनँ किनकि तिमीहरू हठी मानिसहरू हौ । मैले तिमीहरूलाई बाटैमा नाश गर्न पनि सक्छु ।”
and so that you may enter into a land flowing with milk and honey. For I will not go up with you, since you are a stiff-necked people, lest perhaps I may destroy you on the way.”
4 जब मानिसहरूले यी भयभीत तुल्याउने वचनहरू सुने तिनीहरूले विलाप गरे र कसैले पनि गरगहना लगाएन ।
And upon hearing this very bad news, the people mourned; and no one put on his finery according to custom.
5 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “इस्राएलीहरूलाई भन्, 'तिमीहरू हठी मानिसहरू हौ । म तिमीहरूका बिचमा एकै क्षण मात्र गएँ भने पनि मैले तिमीहरूलाई नष्ट गर्न सक्छु । त्यसैले, तिमीहरूले आ-आफ्ना गरगहना फुकाल ताकि तिमीहरूलाई के गर्ने भनी मैले निधो गर्न सकूँ' ।”
And the Lord said to Moses: “Say to the sons of Israel: You are a stiff-necked people. I should at once go up into your midst and destroy you. Now immediately put aside your ornaments, so that I may know what to do to you.”
6 त्यसैले होरेब पर्वतदेखि इस्राएलीहरूले गरगहना लगाएनन् ।
Therefore, the sons of Israel put aside their ornaments before Mount Horeb.
7 मोशाले पाल लिएर छाउनीभन्दा अलि पर त्यसलाई टाँगे । तिनले यसलाई भेट हुने पाल भने । परमप्रभुलाई कुनै पनि थोकको लागि बिन्ती चढाउन चाहने हरेक व्यक्ति छाउनीबाहिर यही भेट हुने पालमा जान्थ्यो ।
Also, Moses took the tabernacle and pitched it beyond the camp at a distance, and he called its name: ‘Tabernacle of the Covenant.’ And all the people, who had any kind of question, went out to the Tabernacle of the Covenant, beyond the camp.
8 मोशा पालमा जाँदा सबै मानिस तिनीहरूको पालको प्रवेशद्वारमा खडा हुन्थे र मोशा भित्र प्रवेश नगरुञ्जेलसम्म तिनलाई हेर्ने गर्थे ।
And when Moses went out to the tabernacle, all the people rose up, and each one stood at the door of his pavilion, and they beheld the back of Moses until he entered the tent.
9 मोशा पालभित्र प्रवेश गर्दा बादलको खाँबो तल झरी पालको प्रवेशद्वारमा अडिन्थ्यो, अनि परमप्रभु मोशासित बोल्नुहुन्थ्यो ।
And when he had gone into the Tabernacle of the Covenant, the pillar of cloud descended and stood at the door, and he spoke with Moses.
10 कुनै पनि बेला पालको प्रवेशद्वारमा सबै मानिसले बादलको खाँबो देख्दा हरेक व्यक्ति आ-आफ्नो पालको प्रवेशद्वारमा खडा भई त्यसले उहाँको आराधना गर्थ्यो ।
And all discerned that the pillar of cloud stood at the door of the Tabernacle. And they stood and worshipped at the doors of their tents.
11 एउटा मानिस आफ्नो साथीसित बोलेजस्तै परमप्रभु आमनेसामने मोशासित बोल्नुहुन्थ्यो । तब मोशा छाउनीमा फर्कन्थे तर तिनका जवान दास अर्थात् नूनका छोरा यहोशूचाहिँ पालमै बस्थे ।
But the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, just as a man is used to speaking to his friend. And when he returned to the camp, his minister Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, did not withdraw from the Tabernacle.
12 मोशाले परमप्रभुलाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईं मलाई भन्दै हुनुहुन्छ, 'यी मानिसहरूलाई यात्रामा लिएर जा,' तर तपाईंले मसँगै कसलाई पठाउनुहुनेछ भनी बताउनुभएको छैन । तपाईंले भन्नुभएको छ, 'म तँलाई नामद्वारै चिन्छु, र तैँले मेरो दृष्टिमा निगाह पाएको छस् ।'
Then Moses said to the Lord: “You instruct me to lead this people away, and you do not reveal to me whom you will send with me, particularly since you have said: ‘I know you by name, and you have found favor before me.’
13 अब मैले तपाईंको दृष्टिमा निगाह पाएको छु भने मलाई तपाईंका मार्गहरू देखाउनुहोस् ताकि तपाईंलाई जान्न सकूँ र तपाईंको दृष्टिमा निगाह पाइरहन सकूँ । यो जाति तपाईंका मानिसहरू हुन् भनी याद गर्नुहोस् ।”
If, therefore, I have found favor in your sight, show your face to me, so that I may know you and may find grace before your eyes. Look favorably on your people, this nation.”
14 परमप्रभुले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “मेरो आफ्नै उपस्थिति तँसँगै जानेछ, र म तँलाई विश्राम दिनेछु ।”
And the Lord said, “My face will precede you, and I will give you rest.”
15 मोशाले उहाँलाई भने, “तपाईंको उपस्थिति मसँगै जाँदैन भने हामीलाई यहाँबाट नलैजानुहोस् ।
And Moses said: “If you will not yourself precede us, then do not lead us away from this place.
16 किनकि नत्रता म र मेरा मानिसहरूले तपाईंको दृष्टिमा निगाह पाएका छौँ भनी हामीले कसरी थाहा पाउने? पृथ्वीको सतहमा भएका सबै जातिभन्दा तपाईंको जाति र म अलग छु भनेर थाहा पाउने कुरो भनेको तपाईं हामीसँग गएर मात्र हुने होइन र?”
For how will we be able to know, I and your people, that we have found grace in your sight, unless you walk with us, so that we may be glorified out of all the people who live upon the earth?”
17 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “तैँले अनुरोध गरेको यस कुरालाई पनि म मान्नेछु किनकि तैँले मेरो दृष्टिमा निगाह पाएको छस्, र म तँलाई नामले नै चिन्छु ।”
Then the Lord said to Moses: “This word also, which you have spoken, I will do. For you have found grace before me, and I have known you by name.”
18 मोशाले भने, “कृपया, मलाई तपाईंको महिमा देखाइदिनुहोस् ।”
And he said, “Show me your glory.”
19 परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “म तेरै सामु मेरा सबै भलाइ देखाउनेछु, र तेरै सामु मेरो नाउँ 'परमप्रभु' हो भनी घोषणा गर्नेछु । जससित म अनुग्रही हुन चाहन्छु, त्यससित म अनुग्रही हुनेछु, र जसलाई म कृपा देखाउन चाहन्छु, म त्यसलाई कृपा देखाउनेछु ।”
He responded: “I will show you all that is good, and I will call out with the name of the Lord before you. And I will take pity on whomever I will, and I will be lenient to whomever it will please me.”
20 तर परप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “तैँले मेरो अनुहार देख्न सक्दैनस् किनकि मेरो अनुहार देखेर कोही पनि जीवित रहन सक्दैन ।”
And again he said: “You are not able to see my face. For man shall not see me and live.”
21 परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “हेर्, मेरो छेउमा एउटा ठाउँ छ । तँ यो चट्टानमा खडा हो ।
And again, he said: “Behold, there is a place with me, and you shall stand upon the rock.
22 मेरो महिमा त्यहाँबाट भएर जाँदा म तँलाई चट्टानको धाँदोमा राख्नेछु र म त्यहाँबाट नगएसम्म तँलाई मेरा हातले ढाकिराख्नेछ ।
And when my glory will cross over, I will set you in a cleft of the rock, and I will protect you with my right hand, until I pass by.
23 त्यसपछि म मेरो हात निकाल्नेछु, र तैँले मेरो पिठिउँ देख्नेछस्, तर मेरो अनुहारचाहिँ देख्नेछैनस् ।”
And I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back. But my face you are not able to see.”
