Exodus 13
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई यसो भन्नुभयो,
2 “Consecrate to Me every firstborn male. The firstborn from every womb among the Israelites belongs to Me, both of man and beast.”
“इस्राएलीहरूमध्येका मानिस र पशुहरू दुवैबाट पहिले जन्मेका सबै नरलाई मेरो निम्ति अलग गर् । पहिले जन्मेकाहरू मेरा हुन् ।”
3 So Moses told the people, “Remember this day, the day you came out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; for the LORD brought you out of it by the strength of His hand. And nothing leavened shall be eaten.
मोशाले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “आजको दिन सम्झना राख । आजकै दिन परमप्रभुको शक्तिशाली हातद्वारा तिमीहरू मिश्रको दासत्वबाट यस ठाउँमा ल्याइएका छौ । खमिर हालेको कुनै पनि रोटी खाइनेछैन ।
4 Today, in the month of Abib, you are leaving.
तिमीहरू आबीब महिनाको आजकै दिनमा मिश्रबाट बाहिर जाँदै छौ ।
5 And when the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, and Jebusites—the land He swore to your fathers that He would give you, a land flowing with milk and honey—you shall keep this service in this month.
परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई कनानी, हित्ती, एमोरी, हिव्वी र यबूसीहरूको दूध र मह बग्ने देशमा लैजानुहुँदा तिमीहरूले यही महिनामा आराधनाको यो चाड मान्नू ।
6 For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to the LORD.
सात दिनसम्म तिमीहरूले खमिर नहालेको रोटी खानू । सातौँ दिनमा परमप्रभुको निम्ति चाड हुनेछ ।
7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten during those seven days. Nothing leavened may be found among you, nor shall leaven be found anywhere within your borders.
सात दिनसम्म खमिर नहालेको रोटी खानू । खमिर हालेको रोटी तिमीहरूका बिचमा नदेखियोस् ।
8 And on that day you are to explain to your son, ‘This is because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.’
त्यस दिन तिमीहरूले आ-आफ्ना छोराछोरीहरूलाई भन्नू, 'म मिश्रबाट बाहिर आउँदा परमप्रभुले मेरो निम्ति जे गर्नुभएको थियो, त्यसैको खातिर मैले यसो गरेको हुँ ।'
9 It shall be a sign for you on your hand and a reminder on your forehead that the Law of the LORD is to be on your lips. For with a mighty hand the LORD brought you out of Egypt.
यो तिमीहरूका निम्ति हातमा र तिमीहरूको निधारमा सम्झना गराउने कुरो हुनेछ । परमप्रभुको शक्तिशाली हातले तिमीहरूलाई मिश्रबाट बाहिर ल्याएकोले तिमीहरूको मुखमा यो उहाँको विधि हुनेछ ।
10 Therefore you shall keep this statute at the appointed time year after year.
त्यसकारण वर्षैपिच्छे तिमीहरूले तोकिएको समयमा यो विधिको पालन गर्नू ।
11 And after the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites and gives it to you, as He swore to you and your fathers,
परमप्रभुले तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूसित शपथ खानुभएझैँ उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई कनानीहरूको देशमा पुर्याई त्यो देश तिमीहरूलाई दिनुहुँदा
12 you are to present to the LORD the firstborn male of every womb. All the firstborn males of your livestock belong to the LORD.
तिमीहरूले हरेकको गर्भको पहिले फल परमप्रभुको निम्ति अलग गर्नू ।
13 You must redeem every firstborn donkey with a lamb, and if you do not redeem it, you are to break its neck. And every firstborn of your sons you must redeem.
गधाको हरेक पहिलो फललाई एउटा पाठोद्वारा छुटाउनू । त्यो छुटाएनौ भने त्यसको घाँटी निमोठिदिनू । तर तिमीहरूका सबै छोराका बिचमा पहिलो फललाई तिमीहरूले छुटाउनैपर्छ ।
14 In the future, when your son asks you, ‘What does this mean?’ you are to tell him, ‘With a mighty hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
'यसको मतलब के हो?' भनी पछि तिमीहरूको छोरोले सोध्दा तिमीहरूले यसो भन्नू, 'परमप्रभुले शक्तिशाली हातद्वारा हामीलाई मिश्रको दासत्वबाट निकालेर ल्याउनुभयो ।
15 And when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the LORD killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both of man and beast. This is why I sacrifice to the LORD the firstborn male of every womb, but I redeem all the firstborn of my sons.’
हठी भएर फारोले हामीलाई जान दिन इन्कार गर्दा परमप्रभुले मिश्र देशमा मानिस र पशु दुवैका सबै पहिले जन्मेकाहरूलाई मार्नुभयो । त्यसकारण म हरेक पशुको पहिले जन्मेको नरलाई परमप्रभुको निम्ति बलिदान चढाउँछु, र मेरा छोराहरूमध्ये जेठोलाई छुटाउँछु ।'
16 So it shall serve as a sign on your hand and a symbol on your forehead, for with a mighty hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt.”
यो तिमीहरूको हात र तिमीहरूको निधारमा सम्झना दिलाउने कुरो हुनेछ किनकि परमप्रभुको शक्तिशाली हातद्वारा उहाँले हामीलाई मिश्रबाट बाहिर ल्याउनुभएको थियो ।”
17 When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them along the road through the land of the Philistines, though it was shorter. For God said, “If the people face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.”
फारोले मानिसहरूलाई जान दिएपछि परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई पलिश्तीको देशको बाटो नजिकै भए तापनि त्यहाँबाट भएर अगुवाइ गर्नुभएन । किनकि उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “तिनीहरूले लडाइँ देखेर तिनीहरूको मन बद्ली तिनीहरू मिश्रमा नै फर्केर जान सक्छन् ।”
18 So God led the people around by the way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea. And the Israelites left the land of Egypt arrayed for battle.
त्यसैले परमेश्वरले ती मानिसहरूलाई उजाड-स्थानको बाटो भएर लाल समुद्रतिर लैजानुभयो । इस्राएलीहरू युद्धको लागि सशस्त्र भई मिश्र देशबाट अगि बढे ।
19 Moses took the bones of Joseph with him because Joseph had made the sons of Israel swear a solemn oath when he said, “God will surely attend to you, and then you must carry my bones with you from this place.”
मोशाले योसेफको अस्थि आफूसितै लगे किनकि योसेफले इस्राएलीहरूलाई यसरी गम्भीरतापूर्वक शपथ खान लगाएका थिए, “निश्चय नै परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिनुहुनेछ र तिमीहरूले मेरो अस्थि आफूसितै लैजानू ।”
20 They set out from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness.
इस्राएलीहरू सुक्कोतबाट यात्रा गरी उजाड-स्थानको नजिकै एथाममा आइपुगे र त्यहाँ तिनीहरूले पाल टाँगे ।
21 And the LORD went before them in a pillar of cloud to guide their way by day, and in a pillar of fire to give them light by night, so that they could travel by day or night.
परमप्रभु दिनमा बादलको खाँबो बनी तिनीहरूको अगिअगि जानुहुन्थ्यो । रातमा आगोको खाँबो बनी उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई ज्योति दिनुहुन्थ्यो । यसरी तिनीहरू दिन र रातमा यात्रा गर्न सक्थे ।
22 Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place before the people.
परमप्रभुले दिनमा बादलको खाँबो र रातमा आगोको खाँबो मानिसहरूबाट हटाउनुभएन ।
