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 ।

The LORD spoke to Moses, "Depart, go up from here, you and the people that you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, 'I will give it to your descendants.'

2 म तेरो अगिअगि एउटा दूत पठाउनेछु, र कनानी, एमोरी, हित्ती, परिज्‍जी, हिव्वी र यबूसीहरूलाई म त्यहाँबाट धपाउनेछु ।

I will send an angel before you; and I will drive out the Canaanite, and the Amorite, and the Hethite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, 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 ।”

to a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of you, for you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you in the way."

4 जब मानिसहरूले यी भयभीत तुल्याउने वचनहरू सुने तिनीहरूले विलाप गरे र कसैले पनि गरगहना लगाएन ।

When the people heard this evil news, they mourned: and no one put on his jewelry.

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' ।”

The LORD said to Moses, "Tell the children of Israel, 'You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up into your midst for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewelry from you, that I may know what to do to you.'"

6 त्यसैले होरेब पर्वतदेखि इस्राएलीहरूले गरगहना लगाएनन् ।

The children of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.

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 ।

Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and he called it "The Tent of Meeting." It happened that everyone who sought the LORD went out to the Tent of Meeting, which was outside the camp.

8 मोशा पालमा जाँदा सबै मानिस तिनीहरूको पालको प्रवेशद्वारमा खडा हुन्थे र मोशा भित्र प्रवेश नगरुञ्‍जेलसम्म तिनलाई हेर्ने गर्थे ।

It happened that when Moses went out to the Tent, that all the people rose up, and stood, everyone at their tent door, and watched Moses, until he had gone into the Tent.

9 मोशा पालभित्र प्रवेश गर्दा बादलको खाँबो तल झरी पालको प्रवेशद्वारमा अडिन्थ्यो, अनि परमप्रभु मोशासित बोल्नुहुन्थ्यो ।

It happened, when Moses entered into the Tent, that the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and 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 ।

All the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent, and all the people rose up and worshiped, everyone at their tent door.

11 एउटा मानिस आफ्नो साथीसित बोलेजस्तै परमप्रभु आमनेसामने मोशासित बोल्नुहुन्थ्यो । तब मोशा छाउनीमा फर्कन्थे तर तिनका जवान दास अर्थात् नूनका छोरा यहोशूचाहिँ पालमै बस्थे ।

The LORD spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart out of the Tent.

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 ।'

Moses said to the LORD, "Look, you tell me, 'Bring up this people:' and you haven't let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, 'I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.'

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 ।”

Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight: and consider that this nation is your people."

14 परमप्रभुले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “मेरो आफ्नै उपस्थिति तँसँगै जानेछ, र म तँलाई विश्राम दिनेछु ।”

He said, "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."

15 मोशाले उहाँलाई भने, “तपाईंको उपस्थिति मसँगै जाँदैन भने हामीलाई यहाँबाट नलैजानुहोस् ।

He said to him, "If your presence doesn't go with me, do not carry us up from here.

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 would people know that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Isn't it in that you go with us, so that we are separated, I and your people, from all the people who are on the surface of 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 ।”

The LORD said to Moses, "I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name."

18 मोशाले भने, “कृपया, मलाई तपाईंको महिमा देखाइदिनुहोस् ।”

He said, "Please 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 said, "I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of the LORD before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy."

20 तर परप्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “तैँले मेरो अनुहार देख्‍न सक्दैनस् किनकि मेरो अनुहार देखेर कोही पनि जीवित रहन सक्दैन ।”

He said, "You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live."

21 परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “हेर्, मेरो छेउमा एउटा ठाउँ छ । तँ यो चट्टानमा खडा हो ।

The LORD also said, "Look, there is a place by me, and you are to station yourself on the rock.

22 मेरो महिमा त्यहाँबाट भएर जाँदा म तँलाई चट्टानको धाँदोमा राख्‍नेछु र म त्यहाँबाट नगएसम्म तँलाई मेरा हातले ढाकिराख्‍नेछ ।

It will happen, while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by;

23 त्यसपछि म मेरो हात निकाल्नेछु, र तैँले मेरो पिठिउँ देख्‍नेछस्, तर मेरो अनुहारचाहिँ देख्‍नेछैनस् ।”

then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen."
