< Exodus 5 >
1 And afterward Moses and Aaron have entered, and they say to Pharaoh, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Send My people away, and they keep a celebration for Me in the wilderness”;
यी कुराहरूपछि मोशा र हारून फारोकहाँ गएर भने, “इस्राएलका परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'उजाड-स्थानमा चाड मनाउनलाई मेरा मानिसहरूलाई जान दे' ।”
2 and Pharaoh says, “Who [is] YHWH, that I listen to His voice to send Israel away? I have not known YHWH, and I also do not send Israel away.”
फारोले भने, “परमप्रभु को हुनुहुन्छ? उहाँको कुरा सुनेर मैले इस्राएललाई किन जान दिने? म परमप्रभुलाई चिन्दिनँ, र म इस्राएललाई जान दिन्नँ ।”
3 And they say, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us; please let us go a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to our God YHWH, lest He meet us with pestilence or with sword.”
तिनीहरूले भने, “हिब्रूहरूका परमेश्वरले हामीलाई भेट्नुभएको छ । तिन दिनको यात्रा गरी उजाड-स्थानमा गई परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरको निम्ति बलिदान चढाउन दिनुहोस् ताकि उहाँले हामीलाई विपत्ति वा तरवारले नाश नगर्नुभएको होस् ।”
4 And the king of Egypt says to them, “Why, Moses and Aaron, do you free the people from its works? Go to your burdens.”
तर मिश्रका राजाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “ए मोशा र हारून हो, तिमीहरू मानिसहरूका काममा किन अवरोध गर्छौ? तिमीहरूका काममा जाओ ।”
5 Pharaoh also says, “Behold, the people of the land [are] numerous now, and you have caused them to cease from their burdens!”
तिनले यसो पनि भने, “अहिले हाम्रो देशमा धेरै मानिस छन्, र तिमीहरू तिनीहरूलाई काम गर्नबाट रोक्दै छौ ।”
6 And on that day Pharaoh commands the exactors among the people and its authorities, saying,
त्यही दिन फारोले मानिसका नाइकेहरू र मजदुरहरूलाई यस्तो हुकुम दिए,
7 “You do not add to give straw to the people for the making of the bricks as before—they go and have gathered straw for themselves;
“पहिलेझैँ तिमीहरूले मानिसहरूलाई इँट बनाउन पराल नदेओ । तिनीहरू आफै गएर तिनीहरूका निम्ति पराल जम्मा गरून् ।
8 and you put on them the proper quantity of the bricks which they are making before, you do not diminish from it, for they are remiss, therefore they are crying, saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to our God;
तरै पनि तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूबाट पहिले जत्तिकै इँटको सङ्ख्या माग्नू । त्योभन्दा कम स्वीकार नगर किनकि तिनीहरू अल्छे भएका छन् । त्यसैले तिनीहरू यसो भन्दै कराउँछन्, 'हाम्रा परमेश्वरकहाँ गएर बलिदान चढाउन हामीलाई अनुमति दिनुहोस् ।'
9 let the service be heavy on the men, and let them work at it, and not be dazzled by lying words.”
यी मानिसहरूलाई कामको बोझ बढाइदेओ ताकि तिनीहरू यसमा लागिराखेर छली वचनहरूतर्फ ध्यान नदिऊन् ।”
10 And the exactors of the people, and its authorities, go out, and speak to the people, saying, “Thus said Pharaoh: I do not give you straw,
त्यसैले मानिसका नाइकेहरू र मजदुरहरू बाहिर गई तिनीहरूले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “फारो यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'अबदेखि उसो म तिमीहरूलाई पराल दिन्नँ ।
11 you—go, take straw for yourselves where you can find [it], for there is nothing diminished of your service.”
जहाँ-जहाँ पराल पाइन्छ तिमीहरू आफै गएर ल्याओ, तर तिमीहरूको कामको बोझ भने घटाइनेछैन' ।”
12 And the people are scattered over all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for straw,
त्यसैले मानिसहरू परालका टुक्राटाक्री बटुल्न मिश्रभरि छरिए ।
13 and the exactors are making haste, saying, “Complete your works, the matter of a day in its day, as when there is straw.”
नाइकेहरूले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भनिरहे, “तिमीहरूलाई पराल दिँदा जस्तै गरी तिमीहरूको काम सक ।”
14 And the authorities of the sons of Israel, whom the exactors of Pharaoh have placed over them, are beaten, saying, “Why have you not completed your portion in making brick as before, both yesterday and today?”
फारोका नाइकेहरूले इस्राएली नाइकेहरूलाई पिटे । यी तिनै मानिसहरू थिए जसलाई कामदारहरूको रेखदेख गर्न राखिएको थियो । नाइकेहरूले यसो भनेर सोधिरहे, “तिमीहरूले विगतमा गरेझैँ हिजोआज किन चाहेजति इँटहरू बनाइरहेका छैनौ?”
15 And the authorities of the sons of Israel come in and cry to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you do thus to your servants?
त्यसैले इस्राएली नाइकेहरू फारोकहाँ आएर बिन्ती गरे, “तपाईंले हजुरका दासहरूलाई किन यस्तो व्यवहार गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ?
16 Straw is not given to your servants, and they are saying to us, Make bricks, and behold, your servants are struck—and your people have sinned.”
हजुरका दासहरूलाई पराल नदिएको भए तापनि तिनीहरू हामीलाई यसो भन्दै छन्, 'इँटहरू बनाओ ।' अब हामी हजुरका दासहरूलाई पिटिन पनि थालिएको छ । तर यो त हजुरका आफ्नै मानिसहरूको दोष हो ।”
17 And he says, “Remiss—you are remiss, therefore you are saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to YHWH;
तर फारोले भने, “तिमीहरू अल्छे छौ । तिमीहरू अल्छे छौ । तिमीहरू भन्छौ, 'परमप्रभुलाई बलिदान चढाउन हामीलाई जान अनुमति दिनुहोस् ।'
18 and now, go, serve; and straw is not given to you, and you give the [required] measure of bricks.”
त्यसैले काममा फर्केर जाओ । तिमीहरूलाई अब उसो पराल दिइनेछैन, तरै पनि तिमीहरूले उही सङ्ख्यामा इँटहरू बनाउनुपर्छ ।”
19 And the authorities of the sons of Israel see them in affliction, saying, “You do not diminish from your bricks; the matter of a day in its day.”
“तिमीहरूले दैनिक उत्पादन गर्ने इँटहरूको सङ्ख्या कम हुनुहुँदैन” भनी इस्राएली नाइकेहरूलाई बताइँदा तिनीहरू कष्टमा भएको तिनीहरूले देखे ।
20 And they meet Moses and Aaron standing to meet them in their coming out from Pharaoh,
तिनीहरूले फारोकहाँबाट फर्केपछि मोशा र हारूनलाई भेटे जो दरबारबाहिर उभिरहेका थिए ।
21 and say to them, “YHWH look on you, and judge, because you have caused our fragrance to stink in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants—to give a sword into their hand to slay us.”
तिनीहरूले मोशा र हारूनलाई भने, “परमप्रभुले तपाईंहरूलाई हेरी दण्ड दिनुभएको होस् किनकि तपाईंहरूले हामीलाई फारो र उहाँका दासहरूको दृष्टिमा तिरस्कृत तुल्याउनुभएको छ । हामीलाई मार्न तपाईंहरूले तिनीहरूका हातमा तरवार थमाइदिनुभएको छ ।”
22 And Moses turns back to YHWH and says, “Lord, why have You done evil to this people? Why [is] this [that] You have sent me?
मोशा परमप्रभुकहाँ गई भने, “हे प्रभु, तपाईंले किन यो जातिमा कष्ट ल्याउनुभएको? तपाईंले पहिले मलाई किन दरबारमा पठाउनुभयो?
23 And since I have come to Pharaoh to speak in Your Name, he has done evil to this people, and You have not delivered Your people at all.”
तपाईंको नाउँमा म फारोसित बोल्न आएदेखि तिनले यस जातिलाई कष्ट ल्याएका छन्, र तपाईंले अझै पनि आफ्नो जातिलाई मुक्त गर्नुभएको छैन ।”
