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 bare a son, —and she saw him, that he was a goodly child, so 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 an ark of paper-reed, and covered it over with bitumen, and with pitch, —and put therein the child, and laid it among the rushes upon the bank 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 Then did his sister station herself at a distance, —to see what would be done to him.
बालकलाई के हुनेथियो भनी हेर्न तिनकी दिदीचाहिँ अलि टाढामा उभिन् । फारोकी छोरी नदीमा नुहाउन ओर्लिन् ।
5 So then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe by the river, and her, maidens, were walking by the side of the river, —when she saw the ark in the midst of the rushes, and sent her handmaid, 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 and beheld it—even the child, and lo! a boy weeping, —so she took pity on him, and said, Of the children of the Hebrews, is this.
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 unto 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. So the maid 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 to her—Take this child, and nurse it for me, and, I, will give thee thy wages. So the woman took the child, and nursed it.
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, and she brought him in to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and said—For out of the water, I drew 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 grew up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens, —and saw, an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew—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 So he turned this way and that, and when he saw that there was no man, 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 he went out on the second day, and lo! two Hebrews, striving together, —so he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore shouldest thou smite 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 hath set thee for a chief and a judge over us? To slay me, art thou thinking, as thou didst slay the Egyptian? Then was Moses afraid, and said—Surely the thing is, 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 So Pharaoh heard this thing, and sought to slay Moses, —and Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian and sat down by the 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 and filled the troughs, to water their fathers flock.
अब मिद्यानका पूजाहारीका सात छोरी थिए । तिनीहरू आएर पानी भरे र तिनीहरूका पिताका भेडा-बाख्रालाई पानी खुवाउन डुँड भरे ।
17 Then came the shepherds, and drave them away, —so Moses rose up, and succoured them, and watered their flock,
गोठालाहरू आएर तिनीहरूलाई धपाउन खोज्दा मोशाले ती युवतीहरूको मदत गरे । त्यसपछि तिनले तिनीहरूका भेडा-बाख्राहरूलाई पनि पानी खुवाइदिए ।
18 Then came they in unto Reuel their father, —and he said, Wherefore have ye so early come in to-day?
जब ती केटीहरू आफ्ना पिता रूएलकहाँ गए तब तिनले सोधे, “आज तिमीहरू किन यति चाँडै घर आएका छौ?”
19 And they said, An Egyptian, delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, —Moreover also he drew, 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 is it that 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 well-pleased 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 bare a son, and he called his name Gershom, —for he said, A, sojourner, I am, in a strange 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, during those many days, that the king of Egypt died, and the sons of Israel sighed by reason of the servitude and lamented, —and their cry for help went up to God, by reason of the servitude.
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 so then, God looked upon the sons of Israel, —and God regarded.
परमेश्वरले इस्राएलीहरूलाई देख्नुभयो, र तिनीहरूको अवस्था बुझ्नुभयो ।
