1इस्राएलीहरू मिश्र छोडेर बसाइँ सर्दा तेस्रो महिनामा सीनै मरूभूमिमा पुगे।
1In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.
2तिनीहरू रपीदीमबाट सीनै मरूभूमिमासम्म यात्रा गए र तिनीहरूले आफ्नो छाउनी होरेब पर्वतको नजिकै मरूभूमिमा बनाए।
2When they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mountain.
3तब मोशा परमेश्वरसित भेट गर्न पर्वतमा चढे। परमप्रभुले मोशासित कुरा गर्नु भयो अनि तिनलाई भन्नु भयो, “यी कुराहरू याकूबको ठूलो परिवारलाई भन,
3Moses went up to God, and Yahweh called to him out of the mountain, saying, “This is what you shall tell the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:
4‘तिमीहरुले देख्यौ मैले तिमीहरूलाई मिश्रबाट चील झैं ल्याएँ।
4‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to myself.
5यसकारण म अहिले तिमीहरूलाई मेरा आज्ञा पालन गर अनि मेरो करार अनुशरण गर भन्छु। यदि तिमीहरूले यसो गर्यौ भने तिमीहरू मेरो आफ्नै मानिसहरू हुनेछौ। सम्पूर्ण संसार मेरो हो।
5Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice, and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from among all peoples; for all the earth is mine;
6तिमीहरू मेरो लागि पूजाहारीहरूको एउटा विशेष राष्ट्र हनेछौ। मोशा मैले तिमीलाई भनेका कुरा कुराहरू इस्राएली मानिसहरूलाई अवश्यै भन्नुपर्छ।”
6and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”
7मोशा पर्वतबाट तल आए अनि मानिसका अगुवाहरूलाई बोलाए। मोशाले सबै कुरा तिनीहरूलाई भने जुन परमप्रभुले उनलाई आज्ञा दिनुभएको थियो।
7Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which Yahweh commanded him.
8सबै मानिसहरू राजी हुँदै भने, “परमप्रभुले जे भन्नु हुन्छ हामी गर्ने छौं।” त्यसपछि मोशा फर्केर परमेश्वरकहाँ पर्वतमाथि गए अनि मानिसहरूले भनेका कुरा मोशाले परमप्रभुलाई भने।
8All the people answered together, and said, “All that Yahweh has spoken we will do.” Moses reported the words of the people to Yahweh.
9तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नु भयो, “म तिमीकहाँ बाक्लो बादलको रूपमा आउनेंछु। म तिमीसित बोल्नेछु। मैले तिमीसंग कुरा गरेको सबैले सुन्ने छन्। म यसो गर्नेछु जसले गर्दा ती मानिसहरूले तिमीले भनेको कुरा सधैं विश्वास गर्नेछन्।”त्यसपछि मानिसहरूले भनेका सबै कुराहरू मोशाले परमेश्वरलाई भने।
9Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever.” Moses told the words of the people to Yahweh.
10अनि परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नु भयो, “आज र भोलि तिमीले मानिसहरूलाई एक विशेष सभाको निम्ति तयारी राख्नु पर्छ। मानिसहरूले आफ्नो लुगाहरू धुनुपर्छ।
10Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,
11अनि तेस्रो दिन मेरो निम्ति तयार होऊ। तेस्रो दिन परमप्रभु सीनै पर्वतमा आउनु हुनेछ अनि सबै मानिसहरूले मलाई देख्नेछन्।
11and be ready against the third day; for on the third day Yahweh will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai.
12[This verse may not be a part of this translation]
12You shall set bounds to the people all around, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t go up onto the mountain, or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to death.
13[This verse may not be a part of this translation]
13No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether it is animal or man, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mountain.”
14यसर्थ मोशा पर्वतबाट तल झरे अनि मानिसहरू भएको ठाउँमा गए। तिनले मानिसहरूलाई विशेष सभाको निम्ति तयार पारे अनि तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्नो लुगा धोए।
14Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
15तब मोशाले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “तीन दिनपछि परमेश्वरसित हुने सभाको निम्ति तयार बस। त्यस समयसम्म पुरूषहरूले स्त्रीहरूलाई छुनु हुँदैन।”
15He said to the people, “Be ready by the third day. Don’t have sexual relations with a woman.”
16तेस्रो दिन बिहान बाक्लो बादल पर्वतमा झर्यो। त्यहाँ बिजुलीको चमक देखियो आकाशको गर्जनको साथै तुरहीको एकदमै चर्को आवाज सुनियो। छाउनीमा भएका मानिसहरू डराए।
16It happened on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of an exceedingly loud trumpet; and all the people who were in the camp trembled.
17तब मोशाले मानिसहरूलाई परमेश्वरसंग भेट् गर्न अगुवाई गरे। तिनीहरू पर्वतको फेदिमा नै उभिए।
17Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the lower part of the mountain.
18सीनै पर्वत धुवाँले ढाकिएको थियो। पर्वतमाथि निस्केको धुवाँ भट्टीदेखि निस्केको जस्तै थियो। यस्तो भयो किनभने परमप्रभु पर्वतमा आगोमा आउनु भयो। सम्पूर्ण पर्वत पनि जोरसित हल्लियो।
18Mount Sinai, all it, smoked, because Yahweh descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.
19तुरहीको आवाज झन्-झन् चर्को हुदै गयो। प्रत्येक पल्ट मोशाले परमेश्वरसित बोले परमेश्वरले उसलाई गर्जन जस्तो आवाजमा उत्तर दिनु भयो।
19When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
20अनि परमप्रभु सीनै पर्वतमा ओर्लिनु भयो। परमप्रभु स्वर्गबाट पर्वतको टाकुरामा आउनु भयो। तब उहाँले मोशालाई पर्वतको टाकुरामाथि बोलाउनु भयो अनि मोशा पर्वतमाथि गए।
20Yahweh came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. Yahweh called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
21परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नु भयो, “तल झर अनि मानिसहरूलाई मेरो नजिक नआउन र मलाई नहेर्ने चेताउनी देऊ। यदि तिनीहरूले त्यसो गरे धेरै जना मर्नेछन्।
21Yahweh said to Moses, “Go down, warn the people, lest they break through to Yahweh to gaze, and many of them perish.
22पूजाहारीहरूलाई यो पनि भन जो परमप्रभुको सामुन्ने आउँछन् तिनीहरूले आफैंलाई पवित्र बनाउनु पर्छ। तिनीहरूले त्यसो गर्दैनन् भने तब म तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनेछु।”
22Let the priests also, who come near to Yahweh, sanctify themselves, lest Yahweh break forth on them.”
23मोशाले परमप्रभुलाई भने, “तर मानिसहरू सीनै पर्वतमाथि आउन सक्तैनन्। तपाईं आफैले हामीलाई पवित्र भूमिमा धर्का कोर्नु अनि मानिसहरूलाई नाध्न नदिनु भननु भयो।”
23Moses said to Yahweh, “The people can’t come up to Mount Sinai, for you warned us, saying, ‘Set bounds around the mountain, and sanctify it.’”
24परमप्रभुले उसलाई भन्नु भयो, “मानिसहरू कहाँ जाऊ, हारूनलाई भेट अनि आफूसंगै मकहाँ लिएर आऊ, तर पूजाहारी र मानिसहरूलाई मेरो नजिक आउन नदेऊ। यदि तिनीहरू नजिक आए म तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनसक्छु।”
24Yahweh said to him, “Go down and you shall bring Aaron up with you, but don’t let the priests and the people break through to come up to Yahweh, lest he break forth on them.”
25यसर्थ मोशा तल मानिसहरू भएकहाँ गए र तिनीहरूलाई यी सब कुराहरू बताए।
25So Moses went down to the people, and told them.
