Exodus 4
1 Moses answered, "But, look, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice; for they will say, 'God has not appeared to you.'"
मोशाले जवाफ दिए, “तर तिनीहरूले विश्वास गरेनन् वा मेरो कुरा नसुनी 'परमप्रभु तिमीकहाँ देखा पर्नुभएको होइन' भनेमा के गर्ने नि?”
2 The LORD said to him, "What is that in your hand?" He said, "A staff."
परमप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तेरो हातमा के छ?” मोशाले भने, “लट्ठी ।”
3 He said, "Throw it on the ground." He threw it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses ran away from it.
परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “त्यसलाई भुइँमा फाल् ।” मोशाले त्यसलाई भुइँमा फाले र त्यो सर्प भयो । मोशा दौडेर भागे ।
4 The LORD said to Moses, "Put forth your hand, and take it by the tail." He put forth his hand, and laid hold of 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 the LORD, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you."
“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 The LORD said furthermore to him, "Now put your hand inside your cloak." He put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, look, his hand was leprous, as white 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 He said, "Put your hand inside your cloak again." He put his hand inside his cloak again, and when he took it out of his cloak, look, it had turned again as his other 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 "It will happen, if they will neither believe you nor listen to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “तिनीहरूले मेरो शक्तिको पहिलो चिन्हलाई ध्यान दिएनन् वा विश्वास गरेनन् भने तिनीहरूले दोस्रो चिन्हलाई विश्वास गर्नेछन् ।
9 It will happen, if they will not believe even these two signs, neither listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it on the dry land. The water which you take out of the river will become blood on 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 Moses said to the LORD, "Please, Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before now, nor since you have spoken to your 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 The LORD said to him, "Who made man's mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Is it not I, God?
परमप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “मानिसको मुख बनाउने को हो? मानिसलाई गुँगो वा बैरो वा दृष्टिविहीन बनाउने को हो? के म परमप्रभुले नै होइनँ र?
12 Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall speak."
त्यसैले अब जा र म तेरो मुखमा भएर के भन्ने भनी तँलाई सिकाउनेछु ।”
13 He said, "Oh, Lord, please send someone else."
तर मोशाले भने, “हे प्रभु, तपाईंले इच्छा गर्नुभएको अरू कसैलाई पठाउनुहोस् ।”
14 The anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, "What about Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Also, look, he comes forth to meet you. When he sees you, 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 You shall speak to him, and put the words in his mouth. I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you 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 He will be your spokesman to the people; and it will happen, that he will be to you a mouth, and you will be to him as God.
त्यसले तेरो लागि मानिसहरूसित बोल्नेछ । त्यो तेरो प्रवक्ता हुनेछ र तँ त्यसको लागि मजस्तै परमेश्वर हुनेछस् ।
17 You shall take this staff in your hand, with which you shall do the signs."
तैँले तेरो हातमा यो लट्ठी लैजा । यसले तैँले चिन्हहरू गर्नेछस् ।”
18 Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, "Please let me go and return to my brothers who are in Egypt, and see whether they are still alive." 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 The LORD said to Moses in Midian, "Go, return into Egypt; for all the men who sought your life are dead."
परमप्रभुले मिद्यानमा मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “फर्केर मिश्रमा जा किनकि तेरो जीवन लिन खोज्नेहरू सबै मरिसकेका छन् ।”
20 Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them on a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt. Moses took God's staff 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 The LORD said to Moses, "When you go back into Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your hand, but I will harden his heart and he will 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 You shall tell Pharaoh, 'Thus says the LORD, Israel is my son, my firstborn,
तैँले फारोलाई यसो भन्नू, “परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'इस्राएल मेरो जेठो छोरो हो,
23 and I have said to you, "Let my son go, that he may serve me;" and you have refused to let him go. Look, I will kill your son, your 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 It happened on the way at a lodging place, that the LORD met him and wanted to kill him.
अब बाटोमा बास बस्ने ठाउँमा तिनीहरू रोकिँदा परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भेटी तिनलाई मार्न खोज्नुभयो ।
25 Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet; and she said, "Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me."
त्यसपछि सिप्पोराले चकमके कर्द लिई आफ्नो छोरोको खलडी काटेर त्यसलाई मोशाको खुट्टामा छुवाइन् ।
26 So he let him alone. Then she said, "You are a bridegroom of blood," 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 The LORD said to Aaron, "Go into the wilderness to meet Moses." He went, and met him on God's mountain, and kissed him.
परमप्रभुले हारूनलाई भन्नुभयो, “उजाड-स्थानमा मोशालाई भेट्न जा ।” हारून गए र तिनले मोशालाई परमेश्वरको पर्वतमा भेटी चुम्बन गरे ।
28 Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD with which he had sent him, and all the signs with which he had instructed him.
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भनेर पठाउनुभएका सबै कुरा र देखाउनू भनी आज्ञा गर्नुभएका सबै चिन्हको बारेमा मोशाले हारूनलाई बताए ।
29 Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel.
तब मोशा र हारून गएर इस्राएलीहरूका सबै धर्म-गुरुलाई भेला गराए ।
30 Aaron spoke all the words which God had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभएका सबै कुरा हारूनले बताए । तिनले परमप्रभुको शक्तिका चिन्हहरू पनि मानिसहरूका सामु गरेर देखाइदिए ।
31 The people believed, and when they heard that God had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.
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 ।
