Exodus 2
1 Now a man of the house of Levi took as his wife a daughter of Levi.
अब लेवीको कुलका एक जना पुरुषले लेवीकै कुलकी एक जना स्त्रीसित विवाह गरे ।
2 And she became with child and gave birth to a Son; and when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she kept him secretly for three months.
ती स्त्री गर्भवती भइन् र एउटा छोरो जन्माइन् । तिनी स्वस्थ बालक भएको देखेर उनले तिनलाई तिन महिनासम्म लुकाइन् ।
3 And when she was no longer able to keep him secret, she made him a basket out of the stems of water-plants, pasting sticky earth over it to keep the water out; and placing the baby in it she put it among the plants by the edge of the Nile.
तर उनले लुकाउन नसकेपछि उनले कुशको एउटा टोकरी बनाएर त्यसलाई तारपीन र अलकत्राले लिपिन् । त्यसपछि उनले बच्चालाई त्यसभित्र राखिन् र नदीको किनारनेर नर्कटको झाडीमा भएको पानीमा राखिदिइन् ।
4 And his sister took her place at a distance to see what would become of him.
बालकलाई के हुनेथियो भनी हेर्न तिनकी दिदीचाहिँ अलि टाढामा उभिन् । फारोकी छोरी नदीमा नुहाउन ओर्लिन् ।
5 Now Pharaoh's daughter came down to the Nile to take a bath, while her women were walking by the riverside; and she saw the basket among the river-plants, and sent her servant-girl to get it.
उनका सहेलीहरूचाहिँ नदीतटमा टहल्न लागे । उनले नर्कटहरूका बिचमा एउटा टोकरी देखिन् र आफ्नी एक जना सहेलीलाई त्यो लिन पठाइन् ।
6 And opening it, she saw the child, and he was crying. And she had pity on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.
उनले त्यसलाई खोलेर हेर्दा बच्चा देखिन् । बच्चा रुँदै थियो । उनमा बच्चाप्रति दया जाग्यो र उनले भनिन्, “यो पक्कै पनि हिब्रूहरूको बच्चा हुनुपर्छ ।”
7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, May I go and get you one of the Hebrew women to give him the breast?
तब बालककी दिदीले फारोकी छोरीलाई भनिन्, “बच्चालाई दूध खुवाउन तपाईंको लागि म गएर एक हिब्रू स्त्रीलाई फेला पारेर ल्याऊँ?”
8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the girl went and got the child's mother.
फारोकी छोरीले उनलाई भनिन्, “जाऊ ।” त्यसैले ती युवती गएर आमालाई बोलाएर ल्याइन् ।
9 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Take the child away and give it milk for me, and I will give you payment. And the woman took the child and gave it milk at her breast.
फारोकी छोरीले बच्चाकी आमालाई भनिन्, “यो बच्चालाई लिएर जाऊ र मेरो खातिर दूध खुवाऊ र म तिम्रो ज्याला दिनेछु ।” त्यसैले आमाले बच्चालाई लिएर दूध खुवाउने गरिन् ।
10 And when the child was older, she took him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son, and she gave him the name Moses, Because, she said, I took him out of the water.
बालक हुर्कंदै गएपछि उनले तिनलाई फारोकी छोरीकहाँ ल्याइन् र तिनी उनको छोरा भए । उनले तिनलाई मोशा नाउँ राखे र भने, “किनकि मैले यिनलाई पानीबाट निकालेँ ।”
11 Now when Moses had become a man, one day he went out to his people and saw how hard their work was; and he saw an Egyptian giving blows to a Hebrew, one of his people.
जब मोशा हुर्के तिनी आफ्नो जातिकहाँ गए र तिनीहरूको कठिन कामलाई अवलोकन गरे । मोशाको आफ्नै जातिको कुनै एउटा मानिसलाई एउटा मिश्रीले हिर्काइरहेको तिनले देखे ।
12 And turning this way and that, and seeing no one, he put the Egyptian to death, covering his body with sand.
तिनले दायाँबायाँ हेरे र कोही नदेखेपछि त्यस मिश्रीलाई मारेर त्यसको लाशलाई बालुवामुनि पुरिदिए ।
13 And he went out the day after and saw two of the Hebrews fighting: and he said to him who was in the wrong, Why are you fighting your brother?
अर्को दिन पनि तिनी बाहिर निस्के र दुई जना हिब्रू एक-अर्कामा झगडा गरिरहेका देखे । तिनले गल्ती गर्नेचाहिँलाई भने, “तिमी आफ्नै साथीलाई किन हिर्काउँदै छौ?”
14 And he said, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? are you going to put me to death as you did the Egyptian? And Moses was in fear, and said, It is clear that the thing has come to light.
तर त्यस मानिसले भन्यो, “कसले तिमीलाई हाम्रो अगुवा र न्यायकर्ता बनायो? त्यस मिश्रीलाई मारेजस्तै के तिमी मलाई पनि मार्न खोज्दै छौ?” तब मोशा डराएर भने, “निश्चय नै, मैले गरेको कुरा अरूहरूले थाहा पाउन लागेछन् ।”
15 Now when Pharaoh had news of this, he would have put Moses to death. But Moses went in flight from Pharaoh into the land of Midian: and he took his seat by a water-spring.
फारोले यस विषयमा सुनेपछि तिनले मोशालाई मार्न खोजे । तर मोशा फारोदेखि भागेर मिद्यान देशमा गए र त्यहाँ तिनी कुवानेर बसे ।
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came to get water for their father's flock.
अब मिद्यानका पूजाहारीका सात छोरी थिए । तिनीहरू आएर पानी भरे र तिनीहरूका पिताका भेडा-बाख्रालाई पानी खुवाउन डुँड भरे ।
17 And the keepers of the sheep came up and were driving them away; but Moses got up and came to their help, watering their flock for them.
गोठालाहरू आएर तिनीहरूलाई धपाउन खोज्दा मोशाले ती युवतीहरूको मदत गरे । त्यसपछि तिनले तिनीहरूका भेडा-बाख्राहरूलाई पनि पानी खुवाइदिए ।
18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that you have come back so quickly today?
जब ती केटीहरू आफ्ना पिता रूएलकहाँ गए तब तिनले सोधे, “आज तिमीहरू किन यति चाँडै घर आएका छौ?”
19 And they said, An Egyptian came to our help against the keepers of sheep and got water for us and gave it to the flock.
तिनीहरूले भने, “एक जना मिश्रीले हामीलाई गोठालाहरूबाट छुटकारा दिए । तिनले हाम्रो निम्ति पानी तान्नुका साथै भेडा-बाख्राहरूलाई पनि पानी खुवाइदिए ।”
20 And he said to his daughters, Where is he? why have you let the man go? make him come in and give him a meal.
तिनले आफ्ना छोरीहरूलाई भने, “त्यसो भए, तिनी कहाँ छन् त? किन तिमीहरूले ती मानिसलाई छाड्यौ?” तिनलाई डाक ताकि तिनले हामीसितै खाना खान सकून् ।”
21 And Moses was happy to go on living with the man; and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses.
मोशा ती मानिससित बस्न राजी भए जसले तिनलाई आफ्नी छोरी सिप्पोरा विवाहको लागि दिए ।
22 And she gave birth to a son, to whom he gave the name Gershom: for he said, I have been living in a strange land.
उनले एउटा छोरो जन्माइन् र मोशाले त्यसको नाउँ गेर्शोम राखे । तिनले भने, “म विदेशी भूमिमा प्रवासी भएको छु ।”
23 Now after a long time the king of Egypt came to his end: and the children of Israel were crying in their grief under the weight of their work, and their cry for help came to the ears of God.
धेरै समय बितेपछि मिश्रका राजा मरे । इस्राएलीहरूले दासत्वको कठिनाइको कारणले चित्कार गरे । तिनीहरूले मदतको लागि पुकारा गरे र तिनीहरूको दासत्वको कारण तिनीहरूको पुकारा परमेश्वरकहाँ पुग्यो ।
24 And at the sound of their weeping the agreement which God had made with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob came to his mind.
परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूको क्रन्दन सुन्नुभएपछि उहाँले अब्राहाम, इसहाक र याकूबसित बाँध्नुभएको करार सम्झनुभयो ।
25 And God's eyes were turned to the children of Israel and he gave them the knowledge of himself.
परमेश्वरले इस्राएलीहरूलाई देख्नुभयो, र तिनीहरूको अवस्था बुझ्नुभयो ।
