Exodus 31
1 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नु भयो,
2 “यहूदाको परिवारबाट बजलेल ऊरीको छोरा हूरको नातीलाई मेरो निम्ति विशेष काम गर्न चुनेको छु।
3 मैले बजलेललाई परमेश्वरको आत्मासित परिपूर्ण पारिदिएको छु अनि उसलाई सबै किसिमको निपुणता, कुशलता, अनि ज्ञानले आशीष दिएको छु।
4 उसले सुन, चाँदी अनि काँसाको सुन्दर-सुन्दर वस्तुहरू बनाउन सक्छ किनभने उ एउटा राम्रो शिल्पकार हो।
5 बजलेलले सबै प्रकारको कामहरू गर्न सक्छ जस्तै सुनमा कुँद्न पत्थर घेरा लगाउनको निम्ति ढुङ्गा काट्नु अन् सबै उदेश्यको निम्ति काठहरू काट्न सक्छ।
6 दान कुलका अहीसामको छोरा ओहोलीआबलाई मैले बजलेलको सहयोगीको रूपमा चुनेको छु। मैले दिएको आदेश अनुसार सबै प्रकारका चीजहरू बनाउन सकून् भनेर अन्य सबै कर्मीहरूलाई पनि कार्यक्षमता दिएको छु।
7 भेट हुने पाल, कराको सन्दूक, सन्दूकको ढकनी, भेट हुने पालका सबै सामानहरू,
8 टेबल अनि त्यसका सबै सामानहरू, सामदान र यसका सबै सामानहरू, धूप जलाउने वेदी,
9 होमबलिको निम्ति वेदी र वेदीमा प्रयोग गर्ने सहयोगी कचौराहरू अनि आधारहरू।
10 पूजाहारी हारूनको निम्ति विशेष पोशाकहरू, हारूनका छोराहरू जब पूजाहारी भई सेवा गर्छन, तिनीहरूको निम्ति विशेष पोशाकहरू।
11 अभिषेकको निम्ति सुगन्धित तेल अनि सुगन्धित धूप मैले तिमीलाई आज्ञा दिए अनुसार ती कर्मीहरूले यी सबै चीजहरू बनाउनु पर्छ।”
12 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नु भयो,
13 “इस्राएली मानिसहरूलाई भन, ‘मेरो विशेष विश्रामको दिनको नियम तिमीहरूले पालन गर्नु पर्छ। तिमीहरूका भावी सन्तानक निम्ति तिमी र म बीचको चिनो यही हुनेछ। यी नियमहरू एउटा नियमहरूले दर्शाउनेछन् कि म परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई मेरा आफ्नो मानिस बनाएको हुँ।
14 “विश्राम दिनलाई एक विशेष दिनको रूपमा मान। यदि कुनै मानिसले विश्रामलाई अन्य दिन सरह मान्छ त्यो मानिसलाई मार्नु नै पर्छ। यदि कुनै मानिसले विश्रामको दिन काम गर्छ त्यस मानिसलाई उसका आफन्तहरूबाट छुट्ट्याउनु पर्छ।
15 काम गर्नको निम्ति छः दिन पूरा रहन्छ तर सातौं दिन चाँहि परमप्रभुको निम्ति एकदमै विशेष आरामलिने दिन हुनेछ। कुनै पनि मानिस जसले विश्राम दिनमा काम गर्छ भने त्यस मानिसलाई मृत्यु दण्ड दिइनेछ।
16 इस्राएलीहरूले विश्राम दिनलाई विशेष दिन भनी सम्झना राख्नु पर्छ। यस सम्झौतालाई इस्राएलीहरूले पुस्तौं पुस्तासम्म सदा-सर्वदाको निम्ति पालन गरून्।
17 विश्राम दिन म अनि इस्राएलीहरूको बीच एउटा संकेत हो। परमप्रभुले छः दिन काम गर्नु भयो र आकाश र पृथ्वी बनाउनु भयो अनि सातौं दिन उहाँले विश्राम लिनु भयो।”‘
18 यसरी परमप्रभुले मोशासित सीनै पर्वतमा कुरा गरे शेष गर्नु भयो। त्यसपछि उहाँले दुइवटा शिला-पाटीहरूमा आफ्नै औंलाले करार लेखेर मोशालाई दिनु भयो।
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
4 To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
5 And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
6 And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;
7 The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,
8 And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,
9 And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot,
10 And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office,
11 And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
12 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you.
14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
1 And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
2 And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
3 Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5 And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
6 And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.
7 And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
8 And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.
9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
10 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
11 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
15 And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.
16 There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
19 And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
21 And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
22 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.
27 And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
28 Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
29 (For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
30 And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.
31 And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.
33 Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
34 And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.
36 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
37 And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
38 Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
39 But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.
40 And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
