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 ।
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Leave this place and go with the people whom you led out of Egypt. Go to the land that I promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that I would give to their descendants.
2 म तेरो अगिअगि एउटा दूत पठाउनेछु, र कनानी, एमोरी, हित्ती, परिज्जी, हिव्वी र यबूसीहरूलाई म त्यहाँबाट धपाउनेछु ।
I will send my angel ahead of you all, and I will expel [from that land] the Canaan, Amor, Heth, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups.
3 दूध र मह बग्ने त्यस देशमा जा तर मचाहिँ तिमीहरूसँग जानेछैनँ किनकि तिमीहरू हठी मानिसहरू हौ । मैले तिमीहरूलाई बाटैमा नाश गर्न पनि सक्छु ।”
You will go to a land that will be very good for raising livestock and growing crops [IDM]. But I will not go with you myself, because [if I did that], I might get rid of you while you are traveling, because you are very stubborn [IDM] people.”
4 जब मानिसहरूले यी भयभीत तुल्याउने वचनहरू सुने तिनीहरूले विलाप गरे र कसैले पनि गरगहना लगाएन ।
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Tell the Israeli people, ‘You are very stubborn [IDM]. If I would go with you for even a moment, I would completely (get rid of you/wipe you out). Now take off your jewelry [to show that you are sorry for having sinned]. Then I will decide how I will punish you (OR, if I should punish you).’” So when Moses/I told to the people what God said, they started to mourn, and they all took off their 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' ।”
6 त्यसैले होरेब पर्वतदेखि इस्राएलीहरूले गरगहना लगाएनन् ।
After the Israeli people left Sinai Mountain, they did not wear jewelry any more.
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 ।
[When the Israeli people traveled], whenever they stopped and set up their tents, Moses/I had them set up a tent outside the camp, far from the camp. I called it ‘the Sacred Tent where God and I talk together’. Everyone who wanted Yahweh to decide something for them would go out of the camp to the Sacred Tent.
8 मोशा पालमा जाँदा सबै मानिस तिनीहरूको पालको प्रवेशद्वारमा खडा हुन्थे र मोशा भित्र प्रवेश नगरुञ्जेलसम्म तिनलाई हेर्ने गर्थे ।
Whenever Moses/I went out to the Sacred Tent, all the people would stand at the entrances of their tents and watch him/me until he/I had entered the Sacred Tent.
9 मोशा पालभित्र प्रवेश गर्दा बादलको खाँबो तल झरी पालको प्रवेशद्वारमा अडिन्थ्यो, अनि परमप्रभु मोशासित बोल्नुहुन्थ्यो ।
When Moses/I entered the Sacred Tent, the tall cloud that looked like a fire would come down and stay at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and then Yahweh would talk with Moses/me.
10 कुनै पनि बेला पालको प्रवेशद्वारमा सबै मानिसले बादलको खाँबो देख्दा हरेक व्यक्ति आ-आफ्नो पालको प्रवेशद्वारमा खडा भई त्यसले उहाँको आराधना गर्थ्यो ।
When the people saw the tall cloud at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, they would all prostrate themselves on the ground and worship Yahweh.
11 एउटा मानिस आफ्नो साथीसित बोलेजस्तै परमप्रभु आमनेसामने मोशासित बोल्नुहुन्थ्यो । तब मोशा छाउनीमा फर्कन्थे तर तिनका जवान दास अर्थात् नूनका छोरा यहोशूचाहिँ पालमै बस्थे ।
Yahweh would speak to Moses/me directly, like someone speaks to his friend. Then Moses/I would return to the camp. But his/my young helper, Joshua, the son of Nun, stayed in the Sacred 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/I said to Yahweh, “It is true that you have told me, ‘Lead the people to the land [that I will show you],’ and you have said that you know me well and that you are pleased with me, but you have not told me whom you will send with 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 ।”
So now, if you are truly pleased with me, I ask you, tell me the things that you intend/plan to do, in order that I will know you [better] and continue to please you. Also, do not forget that the [Israeli] people are the people whom you chose to belong to you.”
14 परमप्रभुले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “मेरो आफ्नै उपस्थिति तँसँगै जानेछ, र म तँलाई विश्राम दिनेछु ।”
Yahweh replied, “I will go with you, and I will give you inner peace.”
15 मोशाले उहाँलाई भने, “तपाईंको उपस्थिति मसँगै जाँदैन भने हामीलाई यहाँबाट नलैजानुहोस् ।
Moses/I replied, “If you do not go with me, do not force us to leave 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?”
The only way that [other] people will know that you are pleased with me and with your people is if you go with us [RHQ]! (If you go with us, [that will show that] we are different from all the other people on the earth./If you do not go with us, what will show that we are different from all the other people on the earth?)” [RHQ]
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 ।”
Yahweh replied to Moses/me, “What you have asked is exactly what I will do, because I know you well and I am pleased with you.”
18 मोशाले भने, “कृपया, मलाई तपाईंको महिमा देखाइदिनुहोस् ।”
Then Moses/I said, “Please let me see your glorious presence!”
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 ।”
Yahweh replied, “I will let you see how great and glorious I am, and I will tell you clearly that my name is Yahweh. I will act very kindly and be merciful to all those whom I choose.
20 तर परप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “तैँले मेरो अनुहार देख्न सक्दैनस् किनकि मेरो अनुहार देखेर कोही पनि जीवित रहन सक्दैन ।”
But you are not allowed to see my face, because anyone who sees my face will (die/not continue to stay alive).
21 परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “हेर्, मेरो छेउमा एउटा ठाउँ छ । तँ यो चट्टानमा खडा हो ।
[But look]! Here is a place close to me where you can stand on a [large] rock.
22 मेरो महिमा त्यहाँबाट भएर जाँदा म तँलाई चट्टानको धाँदोमा राख्नेछु र म त्यहाँबाट नगएसम्म तँलाई मेरा हातले ढाकिराख्नेछ ।
When my glorious presence comes past you, I will put you in a large crevice/opening in the rock, and I will cover your face 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 my hand away, and you will see my back, but you will not see my face.”
