Exodus 25

1 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नु भयो,

2 “इस्राएलीहरूलाई मेरो निम्ति उपहारहरू ल्याउनु भन। प्रत्येक मानिसले हृदयबाट निश्चय गर्नु पर्छ ऊ मलाई के दिनु चाहन्छ। मेरो निम्ति उपहारहरू ग्रहण गर।

3 ती मानिसहरूबाट तिमीले ग्रहण गर्नु पर्ने उपहारको सूची यस प्रकार छन् सुन, चाँदी अनि काँसा,

4 निलो, बैजनी अनि रातो सुतीको धागो, मलमलको कपडा, बाख्राको भुत्ला।

5 रातो रंगले रंगाएको भेडाको छाला अनि नरम चर्म, बबुलको काठ।

6 बत्तिको निम्ति तेल, अभिषेक तेलको निम्ति मसला, अनि सुगन्धित धूपको लागि मसला।

7 अनि एपोद को निम्ति बहमूल्य रत्नहरू र न्यायको थैली।”

8 परमेश्वरले अझ भन्नु भयो, “मानिसहरूले मेरो निम्ति पवित्र स्थान बनाउन सक्छन अनि म तिनीहरूमाझ बस्न सक्छु।

9 त्यो पवित्र पाल र त्यस भित्रका प्रत्येक चीज कस्तो देखिनु पर्छ म तिमीलाई बताउँछु। प्रत्येक चीज मैले तिमीलाई देखाए जस्तै बनाऊ।

10 “बबुल काठको एउटा सन्दूक बनाऊ। यो पवित्र सन्दूक दुइ हात आधा लामो अनि एक हात आधा चौंडाइ र एक हात आधा उचाइँको हुनुपर्छ।

11 यो सन्दूकको भित्र अनि बाहिर शुद्ध सुनले मोहोर्नु पर्छ। सन्दूकको बाहिर वरिपरि सुनको घेरा बनाउनु पर्छ।

12 सुनको चारवटा मुन्द्रीहरू बनाऊ अनि सन्दूकको प्रत्येक सुरमा दुइ दुइवटा मुन्द्रीहरू लगाइदेऊ।

13 बबुल काठको डण्डाहरू बनाऊ अनि तिनीहरूलाई सुनले मोहोरी देऊ।

14 सन्दूकको दुवैतिरको मुन्द्रीहरूमा डण्डा हाल अनि यिनको सहायताले त्यसलाई बोक।

15 ती मुन्द्रीहरूबाट डण्डा बाहिर ननिकाल ती डण्डाहरूलाई मुन्द्रीमा नै रहन देऊ।

16 “मैले दिंदै गरेको करार त्यस सन्दूकभित्र राख।

17 त्यसपछि दुइ हात आधा लामो अनि एक हात आधा चौढाईको शुद्ध सुनको एउटा ढकनी बनाऊ।

18 “अनि मार्तेलले पिटेर सुनलाई दुइवटा करूब दूतहरू बनाऊ। अनि दुवैलाई ढकनीकोमाथि छेउ छेउमा लगाई देऊ।

19 एउटा करूब एक छेउमा अनि अर्कोलाई अर्को छेउमा राख। अनि ढकनी र दूतहरू यस्तो यस प्रकारले जोडनु पर्छ तिनीहरू एउटै टुक्राले बनिएको जस्तो होस्।

20 करूब दूतहरू एक अर्कापट्टि फर्किएको हुनुपर्छ अनि तिनीहरूका पखेटाहरू ढकनीमाथि फैलिएको हुनुपर्छ।

21 म तिमीलाई करार पत्र दिन्छु र त्यो तिमीले सन्दूक भित्र ढकनी लगाएर राख्नु पर्छ।

22 जब म तिमीलाई भेटछु, करारको सन्दूकमाथि राखिएको करूब स्वर्गदूत बीचबाट तिमीसित कुरा गर्नेछु। त्यही स्थानबाट इस्राएली मानिसहरूलाई म आफ्नो आज्ञाहरू दिनेछु।

23 “दुइ हात आधा लमाई, एक हात आधा चौढाइ, र एक हात आधा उचाइ भएको एउटा बबुल काठको टेबल बनाऊ।

24 टेबललाई शुद्ध सुनले मोहोर अनि चारैतिर सुनको बिट लगाएर सुसज्जित गर।

25 तब चार औलो फराकिलो घेरा बनाऊ र त्यसको वरिपरि सुनको घेरा लगाऊ।

26 त्यसपछि चारवटा सुनको कुण्डलहरू बनाएर टेबलको खुट्टा भएका चार कुनामा राख।

27 टेबलको चारै तिर घेरामा मुन्द्रीहरू लगाऊ। मुन्द्रीमा डण्डाहरू लगाऊ अनि यसलाई टेबल बोक्न प्रयोग गर।

28 डण्डाहरू बनाउन बबुलको काठ प्रयोग गर अनि त्यसलाई सुनले मोहोर। ती डण्डाहरू टेबल बोक्नमा प्रयोग गर।

29 शुद्ध सुनको थाल, धुपौरो, गाग्रो तथा भाँडाहरू बनाऊ। गाग्रो र भाँडाहरू पेय बलिहरू चढाउँदा खन्याउन प्रयोग गरिनेछ।

30 टेबलमाथि मलाई विशेष रोटी चढाऊ त्यो रोटी संधै त्यहाँ मेरोअघि हुनु पर्छ।

31 “त्यसपछि तिमीले एउटा सामदान बनाउनु पर्छ। सामदानको डण्डा र आधार अकबरी सुनकै बनाउनु पर्छ। शुद्ध सुनको फूल, फूलका कोपिलाहरू, र पत्रहरू बनाऊ र यी सबैलाई एकै ठाउँमा जोड।

32 “त्यस सामदानका छःवटा हाँगाहरू हुनुपर्छ एक पट्टि तीनवटा अर्कोपट्टि तीनवटा।

33 प्रत्येक हाँगामा तीनवटा फूलहरू हुनु पर्छ। यी फूलहरू, पत्र तथा कोपिलाहरू बदामको फूल जस्तै बनाऊ।

34 सामदानमाथि अझ चारवटा फूलका पत्तीहरू बनाऊ। यी फूलहरूका कोपिला र पत्रहरू पनि बदामका फूल जस्तै हुनु पर्छ।

35 सामदानमाथि हाँगाहरूको तीन एकको जोडीमा, यी बीचमा यी फूलहरू एक-एकवटा लगाऊ।

36 कोपिलाका, पत्रहरू अनि सम्पूर्ण सामदान शुद्ध सुनले बनिएको हुनुपर्छ। यिनीहरू सबै एउटा सुनको टुक्राबाट मार्तोलले पिटेर बनाएको हुनुपर्छ।

37 तब सामदानमाथि राख्ने सातबटा दियाहरू बनाऊ अनि यिनले अघिल्लो भागको क्षेत्रमा ज्योति दिऊन्।

38 चिम्टा र तावाहरू शुद्ध सुनको बनाउनु पर्छ।

39 एक तोडाशुद्ध सुन चलाएर सामदान अनि यसमा चलाउनको निम्ति अरू सहयोगी चीजहरू बनाउनु पर्छ।

40 चीजहरू मैले तिमीलाई पर्वतमाथि देखाएको नमूना जस्तै हुनु पर्छ।”

1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.

3 And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,

4 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair,

5 And rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins, and shittim wood,

6 Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,

7 Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.

8 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.

9 According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.

10 And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.

11 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.

12 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.

13 And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.

14 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.

15 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it.

16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.

17 And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

18 And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.

19 And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof.

20 And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.

21 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.

22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.

23 Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood: two cubits shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.

24 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about.

25 And thou shalt make unto it a border of an hand breadth round about, and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about.

26 And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof.

27 Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table.

28 And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.

29 And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure gold shalt thou make them.

30 And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me alway.

31 And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same.

32 And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side:

33 Three bowls made like unto almonds, with a knop and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick.

34 And in the candlestick shall be four bowls made like unto almonds, with their knops and their flowers.

35 And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick.

36 Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it shall be one beaten work of pure gold.

37 And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it.

38 And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure gold.

39 Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.

40 And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount.

1 When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father in law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt;

2 Then Jethro, Moses’ father in law, took Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her back,

3 And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:

4 And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:

5 And Jethro, Moses’ father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God:

6 And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.

7 And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came into the tent.

8 And Moses told his father in law all that the Lord had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the Lord delivered them.

9 And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the Lord had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.

10 And Jethro said, Blessed be the Lord, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.

11 Now I know that the Lord is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.

12 And Jethro, Moses’ father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses’ father in law before God.

13 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening.

14 And when Moses’ father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?

15 And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to inquire of God:

16 When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.

17 And Moses’ father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.

18 Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.

19 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:

20 And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.

21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:

22 And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee.

23 If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.

24 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said.

25 And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

26 And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.

27 And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his own land.
