Exodus 2
1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took a daughter of Levi.
अब लेवीको कुलका एक जना पुरुषले लेवीकै कुलकी एक जना स्त्रीसित विवाह गरे ।
2 And the woman conceived, and bore a son; and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
ती स्त्री गर्भवती भइन् र एउटा छोरो जन्माइन् । तिनी स्वस्थ बालक भएको देखेर उनले तिनलाई तिन महिनासम्म लुकाइन् ।
3 And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him a box of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch; and she put the child therein, and laid it amidst the flags by the brink of the river.
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 placed herself afar off, to ascertain what would be done to him.
बालकलाई के हुनेथियो भनी हेर्न तिनकी दिदीचाहिँ अलि टाढामा उभिन् । फारोकी छोरी नदीमा नुहाउन ओर्लिन् ।
5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the side of the river; and when she saw the box among the flags, she sent her maid and fetched it.
उनका सहेलीहरूचाहिँ नदीतटमा टहल्न लागे । उनले नर्कटहरूका बिचमा एउटा टोकरी देखिन् र आफ्नी एक जना सहेलीलाई त्यो लिन पठाइन् ।
6 And she opened it, and saw the child, and, behold, it was a weeping boy; and she had compassion 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 said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse for thee the child?
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 maiden went and called the mother of the child.
फारोकी छोरीले उनलाई भनिन्, “जाऊ ।” त्यसैले ती युवती गएर आमालाई बोलाएर ल्याइन् ।
9 And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take away this child, and nurse him for me, and I will give thee thy wages; and the woman took the child, and nursed him.
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 the child grew up, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became to her as a son; and she called his name Moses; and she said, Because out of the water have I drawn him.
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 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdensome labors; and he saw an Egyptian man smiting a Hebrew man, one of his brethren.
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 he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no one by, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
तिनले दायाँबायाँ हेरे र कोही नदेखेपछि त्यस मिश्रीलाई मारेर त्यसको लाशलाई बालुवामुनि पुरिदिए ।
13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two Hebrew men were striving together; and he said unto him that was in the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
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 thee a chief and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou hast killed the Egyptian! And Moses feared, and said, Surely the thing is become known.
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 And Pharaoh heard this thing, and he sought to slay Moses; but Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and tarried in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well.
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 and drew water, and filled the troughs to water 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 shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses arose and helped them, and watered their flock.
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, Wherefore are ye come home so soon 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 man delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds; and he also drew water for us, and watered 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 unto his daughters, And where is he? wherefore have ye left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
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 content to dwell with the man; and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.
मोशा ती मानिससित बस्न राजी भए जसले तिनलाई आफ्नी छोरी सिप्पोरा विवाहको लागि दिए ।
22 And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said, I have been a stranger in a foreign land.
उनले एउटा छोरो जन्माइन् र मोशाले त्यसको नाउँ गेर्शोम राखे । तिनले भने, “म विदेशी भूमिमा प्रवासी भएको छु ।”
23 And it came to pass in this long time, that the king of Egypt died; and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried; and their complaint came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
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 God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूको क्रन्दन सुन्नुभएपछि उहाँले अब्राहाम, इसहाक र याकूबसित बाँध्नुभएको करार सम्झनुभयो ।
25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God took cognizance of them.
परमेश्वरले इस्राएलीहरूलाई देख्नुभयो, र तिनीहरूको अवस्था बुझ्नुभयो ।
