प्रस्थान 1
1 याकूबसँगै मिश्रमा आउने इस्राएलका छोराहरूका नाउँ यी नै हुन्:
Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt (euery man and his housholde came thither with Iaakob)
2 रूबेन, शिमियोन, लेवी र यहूदा,
Reuben, Simeon, Leui, and Iudah,
3 इस्साखार, जबूलून, र बेन्यामीन,
Issachar, Zebulun, and Beniamin,
4 दान, नप्ताली, गाद र आशेर ।
Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
5 याकूबका जम्मा सन्तानको सङ्ख्या सत्तरी जना थियो । योसेफ पहिले नै मिश्रमा थिए ।
So al the soules, that came out of the loines of Iaakob, were seuentie soules: Ioseph was in Egypt already.
6 त्यसपछि योसेफ, तिनका सबै दाजुहरू र त्यो सबै पुस्ता मरे ।
Nowe Ioseph died and all his brethren, and that whole generation.
7 इस्राएलीहरू फल्दै-फुल्दै र सङ्ख्यामा अत्यधिक बढ्दै गए, अनि तिनीहरू शक्तिशाली भए र तिनीहरूद्वारा देश भरियो ।
And the children of Israel brought foorth fruite and encreased in aboundance, and were multiplied, and were exceeding mightie, so that the land was full of them.
8 त्यसपछि योसेफको बारेमा थाहा नपाउने नयाँ राजाले शासन गर्न थाले ।
Then there rose vp a newe King in Egypt, who knewe not Ioseph.
9 तिनले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई भने, “हेर, इस्राएलीहरू सङ्ख्यामा हामीभन्दा बढी भएका छन् र तिनीहरू हामीभन्दा शक्तिशाली भएका छन् ।
And he sayde vnto his people, Beholde, the people of the children of Israel are greater and mightier then we.
10 आओ, तिनीहरूसित बुद्धिमानीपूर्वक काम गरौँ नत्रभने तिनीहरूको सङ्ख्या वृद्धि भइरहनेछ । युद्ध भयो भने तिनीहरू हाम्रा शत्रुहरूसित मिल्न गई हाम्रै विरुद्धमा लड्नेछन् र देश छाडेर जानेछन् ।”
Come, let vs worke wisely with them, least they multiplie, and it come to passe, that if there be warre, they ioyne them selues also vnto our enemies, and fight against vs, and get them out of the land.
11 त्यसैले तिनीहरूलाई कठोर काम लगाएर तिनीहरूमाथि थिचोमिचो गर्न तिनीहरूले नाइकेहरू खटाए । इस्राएलीहरूले पिताम र रामसेस नामक भण्डारका सहरहरू बनाए ।
Therefore did they set taskemasters ouer them, to keepe the vnder with burdens: and they built the cities Pithom and Raamses for the treasures of Pharaoh.
12 तर जति मिश्रीहरूले इस्राएलीहरूमाथि थिचोमिचो गरे त्यति नै तिनीहरूको सङ्ख्या बढ्दै गएर तिनीहरू फैलन थाले । त्यसैले मिश्रीहरू इस्राएलीहरूसित डराउन थाले ।
But the more they vexed them, the more they multiplied and grewe: therefore they were more grieued against the children of Israel.
13 मिश्रीहरूले इस्राएलीहरूलाई निर्दयतापूर्वक काममा लगाए ।
Wherefore the Egyptians by crueltie caused the children of Israel to serue.
14 मिश्रीहरूले मसला र इँटको कामसाथै खेतका कठिन कामहरू गर्न लगाएर तिनीहरूका जीवनै खल्लो बनाइदिए । तिनीहरूले लगाएका कामहरू कठिन थिए ।
Thus they made them weary of their liues by sore labour in clay and in bricke, and in al worke in the fielde, with all maner of bondage, which they layde vpon them most cruelly.
15 तब मिश्रका राजाले शिप्रा र पूआ नाम गरेका हिब्रू सुँडिनीहरूलाई भने,
Moreouer the King of Egypt commanded ye midwiues of the Ebrewe women, (of which the ones name was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah)
16 “हिब्रू स्त्रीहरूले बच्चा जन्माउने बेलामा तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूको हेरचाह गर्दा अवलोकन गर । छोरो रहेछ भने तिमीहरूले त्यसलाई मार ।
And sayde, When ye doe the office of a midwife to the women of the Ebrewes, and see them on their stooles, if it be a sonne, then yee shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then let her liue.
17 तर छोरी रहेछ भने त्यसलाई जीवितै राख ।” तर सुँडिनीहरू परेमश्वरदेखि डराउँथे । त्यसैले तिनीहरूले मिश्रका राजाले आज्ञा दिएबमोजिम गरेनन्, बरु तिनीहरूले छोराहरूलाई पनि जीवितै राखे ।
Notwithstanding ye midwiues feared God, and did not as the King of Egypt commanded them, but preserued aliue the men children.
18 मिश्रका राजाले तिनीहरूलाई बोलाएर भने, “तिमीहरूले किन यसो गरेर छोराहरूलाई पनि जीवितै राखेका छ्यौ?”
Then the King of Egypt called for the midwiues, and sayde vnto them, Why haue yee done thus, and haue preserued aliue the men children?
19 ती सुँडिनीहरूले फारोलाई जवाफ दिए, “हिब्रू स्त्रीहरू मिश्री स्त्रीहरूजस्ता छैनन् । तिनीहरू हट्टाकट्टा छन् र सुँडिनी पुग्नुभन्दा पहिले नै तिनीहरूले बच्चा जन्माइसकेका हुन्छन् ।
And the midwiues answered Pharaoh, Because the Ebrewe women are not as the women of Egypt: for they are liuely, and are deliuered yer the midwife come at them.
20 परमेश्वरले यी सुँडिनीहरूलाई जोगाउनुभयो । इस्राएलीहरू सङ्ख्यामा बढ्दै गए र तिनीहरू शक्तिशाली भए ।
God therefore prospered the midwiues, and the people multiplied and were very mightie.
21 सुँडिनीहरू परमेश्वरदेखि डराएकाले उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई परिवार दिनुभयो ।
And because ye midwiues feared God, therefore he made them houses.
22 फारोले आफ्ना सबै मानिसलाई आज्ञा दिए, “जन्मेको हरेक छोरोलाई तिमीहरूले नदीमा फ्याँक्नू, तर छोरीलाई भने जीवितै राख्नू ।”
Then Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Euery man childe that is borne, cast yee into the riuer, but reserue euery maide childe aliue.
