< प्रस्थान 10 >
1 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “फारोकहाँ जा किनकि मैले त्यसको र त्यसका अधिकारीहरूका ह्रदय कठोर बनाइदिएको छु । तिनीहरूका बिचमा मेरो शक्तिका यी चिन्हहरू देखाउनलाई मैले यसो गरेको हुँ ।
And Jehovah said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs in the midst of them,
2 मैले गरेका कुराहरू, मैले मिश्रलाई कसरी कठोरतापूर्वक व्यवहार गरेँ र तिनीहरूका बिचमा मेरो शक्तिका विभिन्न चिन्हहरू कसरी देखाएँ भनी तैँले तेरा छोराछोरीहरू र नातिनातिनाहरूलाई बताउनेछस् भनेर पनि मैले यसो गरेको हुँ । यसरी म परमप्रभु हुँ भनी तैँले जान्नेछस् ।”
and that thou may tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought upon Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them, that ye may know that I am Jehovah.
3 त्यसैले मोशा र हारून फारोकहाँ गए र भने, “हिब्रूहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः मेरो सामु आफैलाई विनम्र पार्न कहिलेसम्म अस्वीकार गर्छस्? मेरो आराधना गर्न मेरा मानिसहरूलाई जान दे ।
And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, Thus says Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, How long will thou refuse to humble thyself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me.
4 तैँले मेरा मानिसहरूलाई जान दिन इन्कार गरिस् भने सुन्, भोलि म तेरो देशमा सलहहरू ल्याउनेछु ।
Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into thy border.
5 कसैले जमिनलाई देख्न नसक्ने गरी तिनीहरूले भुइँलाई ढाक्नेछन् । असिनाबाट बचेर रहेका कुनै पनि चिज तिनीहरूले खाइदिनेछन् । खेतमा उम्रने हरेक रुखलाई पनि तिनीहरूले खाइदिनेछन् ।
And they shall cover the face of the earth, so that no man is able to see the ground. And they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which grows for you out of the field.
6 तिनीहरू तेरा, तेरा सबै अधिकारीसाथै सबै मिश्रीका घरहरूमा भरिनेछन् । यस्तो तिमीहरूका बुबा र हजुर बुबाहरूले पृथ्वीको स्थापना भएदेखि आजको दिनसम्म कहिल्यै देखेका छैनन्' ।” त्यसपछि मोशा फारोकहाँबाट निस्केर गए ।
And thy houses shall be filled, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, as neither thy fathers nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth to this day. And he turned, and went out from Pharaoh.
7 फारोका अधिकारीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “कहिलेसम्म यो मानिसले हामीलाई धम्की दिने? तिनीहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरलाई आराधना गर्न इस्राएलीहरूलाई जान दिनुहोस् । मिश्र नष्ट भएको के हजुरले देख्नुभएको छैन र?”
And Pharaoh's servants said to him, How long shall this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve Jehovah their God. Do thou not yet know that Egypt is destroyed?
8 मोशा र हारून फेरि पनि फारोकहाँ ल्याइए । फारोले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको आराधना गर्न जाओ । तर जानेहरूचाहिँ को-को हुनेछन्?”
And Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh. And he said to them, Go, serve Jehovah your God, but who are those who shall go?
9 मोशाले भने, “हामी हाम्रा छोराछोरीहरू, बुढाबुढीहरू लिएर जानेछौँ । हामीले हाम्रा गाईवस्तु र भेडा-बाख्राहरू लिएर जानेछौँ किनकि हामीले परमप्रभुको निम्ति चाड मनाउनुपर्छ ।”
And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go, for we must hold a feast to Jehovah.
10 फारोले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “मैले तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका सन्तानहरूलाई जान दिएँ भने वास्तवमा परमप्रभु तिमीहरूसँगै होऊन् । हेर, तिमीहरूको मनमा कुनै दुष्टता छ ।
And he said to them, So be Jehovah with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones. Look, evil is before you.
11 तिमीहरूमा बिचमा भएका पुरुषहरू मात्र गएर परमप्रभुको आराधना गरून् किनकि तिमीहरूले चाहेको यही नै हो ।” त्यसपछि मोशा र हारूनलाई फारोको उपस्थितिबाट हटाइयो ।
Not so. Go ye now who are men, and serve Jehovah, for that is what ye desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
12 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “सलहहरू मिश्र देशमा आऊन् भनी तेरो हात पसार् । असिनाको आक्रमणबाट बाँकी रहेका मिश्र देशका हरेक थोकमाथि तिनीहरूले आक्रमण गरून् ।”
And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail has left.
13 मोशाले आफ्नो लट्ठी मिश्र देशमाथि पसारे अनि परमप्रभुले दिनरात समस्त देशमा पूर्वीय बतास चलाइदिनुभयो । बिहान हुँदा पूर्वीय बतासले सलहहरू ल्याएको थियो ।
And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and Jehovah brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all the night, and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
14 सलहहरू मिश्र देशभरि गए र यसका सबै भू-भागमा हुल-हुल भएर बसे । त्यस देशमा सलहहरूको यस्तो हुल कहिल्यै देखा परेको थिएन र यसपछि पनि यस्तो कहिल्यै हुनेछैन ।
And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt, very grievous were they, before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
15 पुरै अन्धकार हुने गरी तिनीहरूले पुरै देशको सतहलाई ढाके । असिनाले नष्ट गरेर छाडेका रुखहरूका सबै फल र खेतका सबै बोट-बिरुवा तिनीहरूले खाइदिए । मिश्र देशभरि कुनै जीवित हरियो बिरुवा बाँकी रहेन न त खेतमा नै कुनै रुख-बिरुवा बाँकी रह्यो ।
For they covered the face of the whole ground, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. And there remained not any green thing, either tree nor herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
16 त्यसपछि फारोले झट्टै मोशा र हारूनलाई डाक्न पठाए र भने, “मैले तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर र तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेको छु ।
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and he said, I have sinned against Jehovah your God, and against you.
17 अब यस पल्ट मेरो पाप क्षमा गरिदेऊ र मबाट यस मृत्युलाई लगियोस् भनी तिमीहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरसित बिन्ती चढाइदेओ ।”
Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and entreat Jehovah your God, that he may only take away from me this death.
18 त्यसैले मोशा फारोकहाँबाट गए र परमप्रभुलाई बिन्ती चढाए ।
And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated Jehovah.
19 परमप्रभुले निकै शक्तिशाली पश्चिमी बतास चलाइदिनुभयो जसले सलहहरूलाई उडाई लाल समुद्रमा लग्यो । मिश्रका इलाकाभित्र एउटै पनि सलह रहेन ।
And Jehovah turned an exceedingly strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea. There remained not one locust in all the border of Egypt.
20 तर परमप्रभुले फारोको ह्रदय कठोर बनाइदिनुभयो र तिनले इस्राएलीहरूलाई जान दिएनन् ।
But Jehovah hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the sons of Israel go.
21 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “आकाशतिर तेरो हात पसार् अनि मिश्र देशभरि महसुस गर्न सकिने अन्धकार होस् ।”
And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
22 मोशाले आफ्नो हात आकाशतिर पसारे र मिश्र देशभरि तिन दिनसम्म निस्पट्ट अन्धकार छायो ।
And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days,
23 कसैले कसैलाई देख्न सक्दैनथ्यो । तिन दिनसम्म कोही पनि आफ्नो घरबाहिर निस्केन । तर सबै इस्राएली बसेको ठाउँमा भने उज्यालै थियो ।
they did not see each other, neither did anyone rise from his place for three days, but all the sons of Israel had light in their dwellings.
24 फारोले मोशालाई बोलाउन पठाए र भने, “गएर परमप्रभुको आराधना गर । तिमीहरूका परिवारहरू पनि तिमीहरूसँगै जान सक्नेछन्, तर तिमीहरूका गाईवस्तु र भेडा-बाख्राहरूलाई भने यहीँ छाड ।”
And Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, Go ye, serve Jehovah, only let your flocks and your herds stay. Let your little ones also go with you.
25 तर मोशाले भने, “हाम्रा परमप्रभु परमेश्वरलाई बलिदान चढाउन तपाईंले हामीलाई बलिदान र होमबलिको निम्ति पशुहरू पनि दिनुपर्छ ।
And Moses said, Thou must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to Jehovah our God.
26 हाम्रा गाईवस्तु पनि हामीसितै जानुपर्छ । तिनीहरूका खुर पनि छोडिनुहुँदैन किनकि हाम्रा परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको आराधना गर्न हामीले तिनलाई लैजानैपर्छ । किनकि हामी त्यहाँ नपुगेसम्म हामीले परमप्रभुलाई के-के चढाएर आराधना गर्ने भनी हामीलाई थाहा हुँदैन ।”
Our cattle shall also go with us, there shall not a hoof be left behind, for we must take of it to serve Jehovah our God, and we do not know with what we must serve Jehovah, until we come there.
27 तर परमप्रभुले फारोको ह्रदय कठोर पारिदिनुभयो र तिनले तिनीहरूलाई जान दिएनन् ।
But Jehovah hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
28 फारोले मोशालाई भने, “मबाट जाऊ! एउटा कुराको बारेमा होसियार होऊ । अबदेखि मेरो सामु देख नपर किनकि मेरो अनुहार देखेको दिनमा तिमी मर्नेछौ ।”
And Pharaoh said to him, Get thee from me. Take heed to thyself, see my face no more, for in the day thou see my face thou shall die.
29 मोशाले भने, “तपाईंले भन्नुभएझैँ होस् । म फेरि तपाईंको अनुहार हेर्नेछैनँ ।”
And Moses said, Thou have spoken well. I will see thy face again no more.
