Exodus 3
1 And Moses was feeding the flock of Jothor his father-in-law, the priest of Madiam; and he brought the sheep near to the wilderness, and came to the mount of Choreb.
अब मोशा अझै पनि आफ्ना ससुरा मिद्यानका पूजाहारी यित्रोका भेडा-बाख्रा चराउँदै थिए । तिनले भेडा-बाख्रालाई उजाड-स्थानको परसम्म लगी परमेश्वरको पर्वत होरेबसम्म लगे ।
2 And an angel of the Lord appeared to him in flaming fire out of the bush, and he sees that the bush burns with fire, —but the bush was not consumed.
त्यहाँ परमप्रभुका दूत जलिरहेको पोथ्रामा तिनीकहाँ देखा परे । मोशाले हेर्दा त्यो पोथ्रा जलिरहेको थियो तर भस्म भएको थिएन ।
3 And Moses said, I will go near and see this great sight, why the bush is not consumed.
मोशाले भने, “म एकातिर गएर यो गजबको दृश्य किन भस्म भएको रहेनछ भनी हेर्नेछु ।”
4 And when the Lord saw that he drew near to see, the Lord called him out of the bush, saying, Moses, Moses; and he said, What is it?
जब तिनी हेर्नलाई एकातिर गएको परमप्रभुले देख्नुभयो तब उहाँले पोथ्राबाट तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “मोशा, ए मोशा ।” तिनले भने, “म यहीँ छु ।”
5 And he said, Draw not near hither: loose your sandals from off your feet, for the place whereon you stand is holy ground.
परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “अझ नजिक नआइज । तेरो खुट्टाबाट तेरो जुत्ता फुकाल् किनकि तँ उभिएको भूमि मेरो लागि अलग गरिएको छ ।”
6 And he said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraam, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and Moses turned away his face, for he was afraid to gaze at God.
उहाँले थप्नुभयो, “म तेरा पिता अब्राहाम, इसहाक र याकूबका परमेश्वर हुँ ।” त्यसपछि मोशाले आफ्नो अनुहार ढाके किनकि तिनी परमेश्वरलाई हेर्न डराएका थिए ।
7 And the Lord said to Moses, I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and I have heard their cry [caused] by their taskmasters; for I know their affliction.
परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “निश्चय नै मिश्रमा भएका मेरा मानिसहरूको दुःखकष्ट मैले देखेको छु । तिनीहरूका नाइकेहरूको कारणले तिनीहरूको रुवाइ मैले सुनेको छु किनकि मलाई तिनीहरूको दुःखकष्ट थाहा छ ।
8 And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land, and to bring them into a good and wide land, into a land flowing with milk and honey, into the place of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Pherezites, and Gergesites, and Evites, and Jebusites.
तिनीहरूलाई मिश्रीहरूको शक्तिबाट छुटकारा दिलाई असल, विशाल अनि दूध र मह बग्ने देशमा लैजान म ओर्लिआएको छु । त्यो कनानी, हित्ती, एमोरी, परिज्जी, हिव्वी र यबूसीहरूको देश हो ।
9 And now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come to me, and I have seen the affliction with which the Egyptians afflict them.
अब इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको रुवाइ मकहाँ आइपुगेको छ । यसको अतिरिक्त, मिश्रीहरूद्वारा तिनीहरूमाथि गरिएको थिचोमिचोलाई पनि मैले देखेको छु ।
10 And now come, I will send you to Pharao king of Egypt, and you shall bring out my people the children of Israel from the land of Egypt.
अब म तँलाई फारोकहाँ पठाउनेछु ताकि तैँले मेरा मानिस इस्राएलीहरूलाई मिश्रबाट निकालेर लैजान सक् ।”
11 And Moses said to God, Who am I, that I should go to Pharao king of Egypt, and that I should bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt?
तर मोशाले परमेश्वरलाई भने, “फारोकहाँ गई मिश्रबाट इस्राएलीहरूलाई निकालेर ल्याउने म को हुँ र?”
12 And God spoke to Moses, saying, I will be with you, and this shall be the sign to you that I shall send you forth, —when you bring out my people out of Egypt, then you shall serve God in this mountain.
परमेश्वरले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “निश्चय नै म तँसित हुनेछु । मैले तँलाई पठाएको हुँ भन्नाका लागि चिन्हचाहिँ यो हुनेछ । तैँले ती मानिसहरूलाई मिश्रबाट बाहिर ल्याएपछि तैँले यही पर्वतमा मेरो आराधना गर्नेछस् ।”
13 And Moses said to God, Behold, I shall go forth to the children of Israel, and shall say to them, The God of our fathers has sent me to you; and they will ask me, What is his name? What shall I say to them?
मोशाले परमेश्वरलाई भने, “म इस्राएलीहरूकहाँ गई 'तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाका परमेश्वरले मलाई तिमीहरूकहाँ पठाउनुभएको छ' भन्दा तिनीहरूले 'उहाँको नाउँ के हो' भनी सोधे भने मैले तिनीहरूलाई के जवाफ दिने?”
14 And God spoke to Moses, saying, I am THE BEING; and he said, Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, THE BEING has sent me to you.
परमेश्वरले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “म हुँ जो म हुँ ।” उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “तैँले इस्राएलीहरूलाई यसो भन्नू, 'म हुँ भन्नेले मलाई तिमीहरूकहाँ पठाउनुभएको छ' ।”
15 And God said again to Moses, Thus shall you say to the sons of Israel, The Lord God of our fathers, the God of Abraam, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, has sent me to you: this is my name for ever, and my memorial to generations of generations.
परमेश्वरले मोशालाई यसो पनि भन्नुभयो, “तैँले इस्राएलीहरूलाई यसो भन्नैपर्छ, 'तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाका परमेश्वर अर्थात् अब्राहामका परमेश्वर, इसहाकका परमेश्वर र याकूबका परमेश्वरले मलाई तिमीहरूकहाँ पठाउनुभएको हो । मेरो नाउँ सदासर्वादको लागि यही हो र यही नाउँद्वारा पुस्तौँसम्म मेरो सम्झना गरिनेछ ।'
16 Go then and gather the elders of the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, The Lord God of our fathers has appeared to me, the God of Abraam, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, saying, I have surely looked upon you, and upon all the things which have happened to you in Egypt.
गएर इस्राएलका धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई भेला गर् । तिनीहरूलाई यसो भन्नू, 'तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाका परमेश्वर अर्थात् अब्राहाम, इसहाक र याकूबका परमेश्वर मकहाँ देखा परी भन्नुभयो, “मैले वास्तवमै तिमीहरूलाई अवलोकन गरेको छु र तिमीहरूलाई मिश्रमा के गरिएको छ भनी देखेको छु ।
17 And he said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of the Egyptians to the land of the Chananites and the Chettites, and Amorites and Pherezites, and Gergesites, and Evites, and Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.
तिमीहरूले मिश्रमा भोगेको थिचोमिचोबाट मुक्त गरी दूध र मह बग्ने देश अर्थात् कनानी, हित्ती, एमोरी, परिज्जी, हिव्वी र यबूसीहरूको देशमा लैजाने मैले प्रतिज्ञा गरेको छु” ।'
18 And they shall listen to your voice, and you and the elders of Israel shall go in to Pharao king of Egypt, and you shall say to him, The God of the Hebrews has called us; we will go then a journey of three days into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to our God.
तिनीहरूले तेरो कुरा सुन्नेछन् । तँ र इस्राएलका धर्म-गुरुहरू मिश्रका राजाकहाँ गई त्यसलाई यसो भन्नू, 'हिब्रूहरूका परमप्रभुले हामीलाई भेट्नुभएको छ । अब हामी तिन दिनको यात्रा गरी उजाड-स्थानमा जाऔँ ताकि हाम्रा परमप्रभु परमेश्वरलाई हामीले बलिदान चढाउन सकौँ ।'
19 But I know that Pharao king of Egypt will not let you go, save with a mighty hand;
तर राजा बाध्य नपारिएसम्म त्यसले तिमीहरूलाई जान दिनेछैन भनी मलाई थाहा छ ।
20 and I will stretch out my hand, and strike the Egyptians with all my wonders, which I shall work amongst them, and after that he will send you forth.
म मेरो हात फैलाई मैले मिश्रीहरूका बिचमा गर्ने सबै आश्चर्यकर्मले तिनीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछु । त्यसपछि त्यसले तिमीहरूलाई जान दिनेछ ।
21 And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, and whenever you shall escape, you shall not depart empty.
म यस जातिमाथि मिश्रहरूलाई निगाह गर्न लगाउनेछु ताकि तिमीहरू जाँदा रित्तो हात जान नपरोस् ।
22 But [every] woman shall ask of her neighbour and fellow lodger, articles of gold and silver, and apparel; and you shall put them upon your sons and upon your daughters, —and spoil you the Egyptians.
हरेक स्त्रीले आ-आफ्ना मिश्री छिमेकीहरू र तिनीहरूका घरहरूमा बस्ने कुनै पनि स्त्रीहरूबाट सुन र चाँदीका गरगहनाहरूसाथै लत्ता कपडाहरू माग्नेछ । तिमीहरूले ती आ-आफ्ना छोराछोरीहरूलाई लगाइदिनेछौ । यसरी तिमीहरूले मिश्रीहरूलाई लुट्नेछौ ।”
