< Exodus 14 >

1 Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई यसो भन्‍नुभयो,
2 "Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn back and camp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall camp opposite it by the sea.
“इस्राएलीहरू फर्केर मिग्दोल र समुद्रको बिचमा बाल-सेफोनको अगाडि पी-हहीरोतका सामु पाल टाँगेर बसून् । तिमीहरूले पी-हहीरोतको सामुन्‍ने समुद्रनेर पाल टाँग्‍नुपर्छ ।
3 Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, 'They are wandering in the land. The wilderness has boxed them in.'
फारोले इस्राएलीहरूको बारेमा भन्‍नेछन्, “तिनीहरू देशमा भौतारिहरहेका छन् । उजाड-स्थानले तिनीहरूलाई थुनिदिएको छ ।'
4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them. And I will gain glory because of Pharaoh and because of all his army, and the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD." And they did so.
म फारोको ह्रदय कठोर बनाउनेछु र त्यसले तिमीहरूको पिछा गर्नेछ । फारो र त्यसका सबै सेनाको कारणले गर्दा मैले आदर पाउनेछु । म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी मिश्रीहरूले जान्‍नेछन् ।” इस्राएलीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरिएझैँ तिनीहरूले पाल टाँगे ।
5 And when the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people, and they said, "What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?"
इस्राएलीहरू भागे भनी जब मिश्रका राजालाई बताइयो फारो र तिनका अधिकारीहरूको मन इस्राएलीहरूको विरुद्धमा फर्कियो । तिनीहरूले भने, “हामीले के गर्‍यौँ? हामीले इस्राएललाई हाम्रो सेवा गर्नबाट छाडिदिएछौँ ।”
6 Then he made ready his chariot, and took his army with him;
तब फारोले आफ्ना रथहरू तयार पारे र आफ्नो सेना लिएर अगाडि बढे ।
7 and he took six hundred select chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and officers over all of them.
तिनले छ सयवटा रोजाइका रथसाथै मिश्रका अन्य सबै रथहरू र तीमाथि अधिकृतहरूलाई लिएर गए ।
8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel were going out triumphantly.
परमप्रभुले मिश्रका राजा फारोको ह्रदय कठोर पारिदिनुभएको थियो । त्यसैले राजाले इस्राएलीहरूको पिछा गरे । इस्राएलीहरू विजयका साथ गइसकेका थिए ।
9 And the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh and his horsemen and his army, and overtook them camping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
तर मिश्रीहरूले आफ्ना सबै घोडा, रथ, घोडचढी र सेना लिएर तिनीहरूको पिछा गरे । तिनीहरूले इस्राएलीहरूलाई बाल-सेफोनको अगाडि पी-हहीरोतनेर पाल टाँगेर बसिरहेको भेट्टाए ।
10 When Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and look, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they were very afraid. So the children of Israel cried out to the LORD.
जब फारो नजिक आइपुगे इस्राएलीहरूले माथि हेरे र तिनीहरू छक्‍क परे । मिश्रीहरू तिनीहरूको पिछा गर्दै अगाडि बढ्दै थिए । इस्राएलीहरू अत्यन्तै डराए । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई पुकारे ।
11 And they said to Moses, "Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt?
तिनीहरूले मोशालाई भने, “के मिश्रमा चिहान नभएकोले तपाईंले हामीलाई यस उजाड-स्थानमा मर्न ल्याएउनुभएको हो? मिश्रबाट बाहिर निकाली किन तपाईंले हामीसित यसरी व्यवहार गर्नुभएको?
12 Isn't this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, 'Leave us alone so that we may serve the Egyptians?' For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness."
के मिश्रमा छँदा नै हामीले यसको भनेका थिएनौँ र? हामीले तपाईंलाई भन्यौँ, 'मिश्रीहरूका निम्ति काम गर्न हामीलाई एक्लै छाडिदिनुहोस् ।' उजाड-स्थानमा मर्नुभन्दा त तिनीहरूकै निम्ति काम गर्नु असल हुनेथियो ।”
13 But Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid, stand still, and see the salvation of God, which he will work for you today, for the Egyptians you see today, you will never, ever see again.
मोशाले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “नडराओ । स्थिर रहो, र आज परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुहुने छुटकारालाई हेर । किनकि आज तिमीहरूले देखेका यी मिश्रीहरूलाई तिमीहरूले फेरि कहिल्यै देख्‍नेछैनौ ।
14 The LORD will fight for you, and you must be still."
परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका पक्षमा लड्नुहुनेछ । तिमीहरू केवल स्थिर भएर बस ।”
15 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.
तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “ए मोशा, किन तँ मेरो पुकार गर्दै छस्? इस्राएलीहरूलाई अगाडि बढ्न आज्ञा दे ।
16 And as for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and the children of Israel will go through the midst of the sea on dry ground.
तेरो लट्ठी उठाएर तेरो हात समुद्रतिर पसार् र यसलाई दुई भागमा विभाजन गर् ताकि इस्राएलका मानिसहरू सुक्खा भूमिबाट हिँडेर जान सकून् ।
17 And as for me, look, I am going to harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them, and I will receive glory over Pharaoh and all his army, his chariots and his horsemen.
मिश्रीहरू तिमीहरूका पिछा गरून् भनेर म तिनीहरूका ह्रदय कठोर पारिदिनेछु भन्‍ने कुरामा सचेत हो । फारो र त्यसका सबै सेना, त्यसका रथहरू र त्यसका घोडचढीहरूको कारणले मैले आदर पाउनेछु ।
18 Then the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD, when I receive glory over Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen."
तब फारो र त्यसका सबै सेना, त्यसका रथहरू र त्यसका घोडचढीहरूको कारणले मैले आदर पाउँदा म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी तिनीहरूले जान्‍नेछन् ।”
19 And the angel of God who was going in front of the camp of Israel moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved from in front of them and stood behind them.
इस्राएलीहरूको अगिअगि गएका परमेश्‍वरका दूत त्यहाँबाट तिनीहरूका पछिल्तिर सरे । मिश्रको छाउनी र इस्राएलको छाउनीको बिचमा बादल आएर बस्यो ।
20 So it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness and it lit up the night so that the one did not come near the other all night.
यो मिश्रीहरूको लागि अन्धकार बादल थियो जब कि यसले इस्राएलीहरूलाई रातमा प्रकाश दिन्थ्यो । तिनीहरू रातभरि एक-अर्काको नजिक आएनन् ।
21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD pushed the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea into dry land, so the waters were divided.
मोशाले समुद्रतिर आफ्नो हात पसारे । परमप्रभुले रातभरि सबैभन्दा शक्तिशाली पूर्वीय बतास चलाइदिनुभयो र समुद्रलाई सुक्खा भूमिमा परिणत गराइदिनुभयो ।
22 Then the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right and on their left.
इस्राएलीहरू समुद्रको बिचबाट ओबानो भूमिबाट गए । पानीले तिनीहरूको दायाँ र बायाँ खम्बाको रूपमा काम गर्‍यो ।
23 And the Egyptians pursued and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all of Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
मिश्रीहरूले तिनीहरूको पिछा गरिरहे । फारोका सबै घोडा, रथ र घोडचढीहरू समुद्रको बिचमा तिनीहरूको पछिपछि लागे ।
24 And it happened, in the morning watch, that the LORD looked down on the Egyptian camp through the pillar of fire and cloud and threw the camp into confusion.
तर बिहानी पखतिर परमप्रभुले आगो र बादलको खाँबोबाट मिश्री सेनालाई हेर्नुभयो । उहाँले मिश्रीहरूका बिचमा अलमल गराइदिनुभयो ।
25 And he bound their chariot wheels so that they drove them with difficulty. And the Egyptians said, "Let's flee from before Israel, for the LORD fights for them against the Egypt."
तिनीहरूका रथका पाङ्ग्राहरू फुस्काइदिनुभयो र घोडचढीहरूलाई अगाडि बढ्न मुश्किल भयो । त्यसैले मिश्रीहरूले भने, “हामी इस्राएलबाट भागौँ किनकि परमप्रभु नै तिनीहरूको पक्षमा रही हाम्रो विरुद्धमा लड्दै हुनुहुन्छ ।”
26 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, so that the waters may flow back on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen."
परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “पानी मिश्रीहरू, तिनीहरूका रथहरू र तिनीहरूका घोडचढीहरूमाथि आओस् भनेर तेरो हात समुद्रमाथि पसार् ।”
27 So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal state at daybreak. Now the Egyptians were trying to escape from it, but the LORD shook off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
त्यसैले मोशाले आफ्नो हात समुद्रमाथि पसारे र बिहान हुँदा यो आफ्नो सामान्य मार्गमा आयो । मिश्रीहरू समुद्रमा भागे, र परमप्रभुले मिश्रीहरूलाई समुद्रको बिचमा फ्याँकिदिनुभयो ।
28 Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea. None of them survived.
पानी फर्केर आयो र इस्राएलीहरूको पिछा गर्ने फारोका रथ, घोडचढी र तिनका पुरै सेनालाई पानीले ढाकिदियो । कोही पनि बाँचेन ।
29 But the children of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
तर इस्राएलीहरू समुद्रको बिचमा ओबानो भूमिबाट हिँडेर गए । पानी तिनीहरूको दायाँ र बायाँ पर्खालको रूपमा खडा रह्यो ।
30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day from the power of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
यसरी त्यस दिन परमप्रभुले इस्राएललाई मिश्रीहरूको हातबाट बचाउनुभयो, र इस्राएलले समुद्री तटमा मिश्रीहरूका लाशहरू देखे ।
31 When Israel saw the great power which the LORD used against the Egyptians, then the people feared the LORD, and they believed God and his servant Moses.
परमप्रभुले मिश्रीहरूको विरुद्धमा प्रयोग गर्नुभएको महान् शक्तिलाई जब इस्राएलले देख्यो मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुको आदर गरे, र तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु र उहाँका दास मोशामाथि भरोसा गरे ।
