Exodus 4
1 And Moses answered and said, But behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice; for they will say, Jehovah has not appeared to thee.
मोशाले जवाफ दिए, “तर तिनीहरूले विश्वास गरेनन् वा मेरो कुरा नसुनी 'परमप्रभु तिमीकहाँ देखा पर्नुभएको होइन' भनेमा के गर्ने नि?”
2 And Jehovah said to him, What is that in thy hand? And he said, A staff.
परमप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तेरो हातमा के छ?” मोशाले भने, “लट्ठी ।”
3 And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “त्यसलाई भुइँमा फाल् ।” मोशाले त्यसलाई भुइँमा फाले र त्यो सर्प भयो । मोशा दौडेर भागे ।
4 And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand and take it by the tail — and he stretched out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand —
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “तेरो हात पसारेर त्यसको पुच्छर समात् ।” त्यसैले तिनले आफ्नो हात पसारेर त्यस सर्पलाई समाते । त्यो फेरि तिनको हातमा लट्ठी भयो ।
5 that they may believe that Jehovah, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.
“तिनीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर अर्थात् अब्राहामका परमेश्वर, इसहाकका परमेश्वर र याकूबका परमेश्वर तँकहाँ देखा पर्नुभएको थियो भनी तिनीहरूले विश्वास गरून् भन्नाका लागि यो चिन्ह हुनेछ ।”
6 And Jehovah said moreover to him, Put now thy hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom, and took it out, and behold, his hand was leprous, as snow.
परमप्रभुले तिनलाई यसो पनि भन्नुभयो, “अब तेरो हात आफ्नो खास्टोभित्र राख् ।” त्यसैले मोशाले आफ्नो हात खास्टोभित्र राखे । तिनले बाहिर निकाल्दा तिनको हातमा हिउँजस्तै सेतो कुष्ठरोग लागेको थियो ।
7 And he said, Put thy hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again, and took it out of his bosom, and behold, it was turned again as his flesh.
परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “फेरि तेरो हात खास्टोभित्र राख् ।” त्यसैले मोशाले आफ्नो हात खास्टोभित्र राखे र तिनले हात बाहिर निकाल्दा त्यो तिनको शरीरको अरू मासुजस्तै स्वस्थ भएको थियो ।
8 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the other sign.
परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “तिनीहरूले मेरो शक्तिको पहिलो चिन्हलाई ध्यान दिएनन् वा विश्वास गरेनन् भने तिनीहरूले दोस्रो चिन्हलाई विश्वास गर्नेछन् ।
9 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also those two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour [it] on the dry [land]; and the water that thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry [land].
तिनीहरूले मेरो शक्तिका यी दुईवटै चिन्हलाई पनि विश्वास गरेनन् वा तेरो कुरा सुनेनन् भने नदीबाट थोरै पानी लिएर जा र त्यसलाई सुक्खा भूमिमा खन्या । तैँले लिएर जाने पानी सुक्खा भूमिमा रगत बन्नेछ ।”
10 And Moses said to Jehovah, Ah Lord! I am not eloquent, neither heretofore nor since thou hast spoken to thy servant, for I am slow of speech and of a slow tongue.
तब मोशाले परमप्रभुलाई भने, “हे प्रभु, म बोल्नमा सिपालु छैनँ, न पहिले थिएँ न त तपाईं आफ्ना दाससित बोल्नुभएपछि नै । म बोल्न र जिब्रो चलाउनमा सुस्त छु ।”
11 And Jehovah said to him, Who gave man a mouth? or who maketh dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? [have] not I, Jehovah?
परमप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “मानिसको मुख बनाउने को हो? मानिसलाई गुँगो वा बैरो वा दृष्टिविहीन बनाउने को हो? के म परमप्रभुले नै होइनँ र?
12 And now go, and I will be with thy mouth, and will teach thee what thou shalt say.
त्यसैले अब जा र म तेरो मुखमा भएर के भन्ने भनी तँलाई सिकाउनेछु ।”
13 And he said, Ah Lord! send, I pray thee, by the hand [of him whom] thou wilt send.
तर मोशाले भने, “हे प्रभु, तपाईंले इच्छा गर्नुभएको अरू कसैलाई पठाउनुहोस् ।”
14 Then the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also behold, he goeth out to meet thee; and when he seeth thee he will be glad in his heart.
तब परमप्रभु मोशासित रिसाउनुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “तेरो दाजु लेवी हारून छैन र? त्यसले राम्ररी बोल्न सक्छ भनी मलाई थाहा छ । यसको अतिरिक्त, त्यो तँलाई भेट्न आउँदै छ र त्यसले तँलाई देख्दा त्यो ह्रदयमा खुसी हुनेछ ।
15 And thou shalt speak unto him, and put the words in his mouth; and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.
तँ त्योसित कुरा गर् र त्यसले भन्नुपर्ने कुरा त्यसलाई बताइदे । म तिमीहरू दुवैसित हुनेछु र के गर्ने भनी म तिमीहरू दुवैलाई देखाउनेछु ।
16 And he shall speak for thee unto the people; and it shall come to pass that he shall be to thee for a mouth, and thou shalt be to him for God.
त्यसले तेरो लागि मानिसहरूसित बोल्नेछ । त्यो तेरो प्रवक्ता हुनेछ र तँ त्यसको लागि मजस्तै परमेश्वर हुनेछस् ।
17 And thou shalt take this staff in thy hand, with which thou shalt do the signs.
तैँले तेरो हातमा यो लट्ठी लैजा । यसले तैँले चिन्हहरू गर्नेछस् ।”
18 And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return to my brethren who are in Egypt, that I may see whether they are yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
त्यसैले मोशा आफ्ना ससुरा यित्रोकहाँ गई तिनलाई भने, “मलाई मिश्रमा भएका मेरा आफन्तहरू जीवितै छन् कि छैनन् भनी हेर्न फर्केर जान दिनुहोस् ।” यित्रोले मोशालाई भने, “शान्तिसित जाऊ ।”
19 And Jehovah said to Moses in Midian, Go, return to Egypt; for all the men are dead who sought thy life.
परमप्रभुले मिद्यानमा मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “फर्केर मिश्रमा जा किनकि तेरो जीवन लिन खोज्नेहरू सबै मरिसकेका छन् ।”
20 And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them riding upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt. And Moses took the staff of God in his hand.
आफ्नी पत्नी र आफ्ना छोराहरू गधामा चढाएर मोशा बाटो लागे । तिनी मिश्र देशमा फर्के र तिनले परमेश्वरको लट्ठी आफूसँगै लगेका थिए ।
21 And Jehovah said to Moses, When thou goest to return to Egypt, see that thou do all the wonders before Pharaoh that I have put in thy hand. And I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “तँ मिश्रमा फर्केर जाँदा मैले तेरो शक्तिमा राखिदिएका सबै अचम्मका कामहरू तैँले फारोको सामु गरेर देखा । तर म त्यसको ह्रदय कठोर पार्नेछु र त्यसले मानिसहरूलाई जान दिनेछैन ।
22 And thou shalt say to Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah: Israel is my son, my firstborn.
तैँले फारोलाई यसो भन्नू, “परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'इस्राएल मेरो जेठो छोरो हो,
23 And I say to thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me. And if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will kill thy son, thy firstborn.
र म तँलाई भन्दछु, 'मेरो छोरोलाई जान दे ताकि त्यसले मेरो आराधना गरोस् ।' तर तैँले त्यसलाई जान दिन इन्कार गरेकोले निश्चय नै म तेरो जेठो छोरोलाई मार्नेछु' ।”
24 And it came to pass on the way, in the inn, that Jehovah came upon him, and sought to slay him.
अब बाटोमा बास बस्ने ठाउँमा तिनीहरू रोकिँदा परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भेटी तिनलाई मार्न खोज्नुभयो ।
25 Then Zipporah took a stone and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, A bloody husband indeed art thou to me!
त्यसपछि सिप्पोराले चकमके कर्द लिई आफ्नो छोरोको खलडी काटेर त्यसलाई मोशाको खुट्टामा छुवाइन् ।
26 And he let him go. Then she said, A bloody husband — because of the circumcision.
तब उनले भनिन्, “निश्चय नै तपाईं रगतद्वारा मेरो दुलहा हुनुहुन्छ ।” त्यसैले परमप्रभुले तिनलाई एक्लै छाडिदिनुभयो । यो खतनाको कारणले “तपाईं मेरो दुलहा हुनुहुन्छ” भनी उनले भनिन् ।
27 And Jehovah said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him on the mountain of God, and kissed him.
परमप्रभुले हारूनलाई भन्नुभयो, “उजाड-स्थानमा मोशालाई भेट्न जा ।” हारून गए र तिनले मोशालाई परमेश्वरको पर्वतमा भेटी चुम्बन गरे ।
28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of Jehovah who had sent him, and all the signs that he had commanded him.
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भनेर पठाउनुभएका सबै कुरा र देखाउनू भनी आज्ञा गर्नुभएका सबै चिन्हको बारेमा मोशाले हारूनलाई बताए ।
29 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered all the elders of the children of Israel;
तब मोशा र हारून गएर इस्राएलीहरूका सबै धर्म-गुरुलाई भेला गराए ।
30 and Aaron spoke all the words that Jehovah had spoken to Moses, and did the signs before the eyes of the people.
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभएका सबै कुरा हारूनले बताए । तिनले परमप्रभुको शक्तिका चिन्हहरू पनि मानिसहरूका सामु गरेर देखाइदिए ।
31 And the people believed. And when they heard that Jehovah had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
मानिसहरूले विश्वास गरे । परमप्रभुले इस्राएलीहरूको वास्ता गर्नुहुन्छ र उहाँले तिनीहरूमाथि गरिएको थिचोमिचो देख्नुभएको छ भनी जब तिनीहरूले सुने, तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्ना शिर झुकाई उहाँको आराधना गरे ।
