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 ।
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go to the king [again]. I have made him and his officials stubborn [IDM]. I have done that in order that I would [have a good reason to] perform all these plagues among 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 also in order that you would [be able to] tell your children and your grandchildren how I caused the Egyptians to act very foolishly [when] I performed all these miracles. Then all of you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
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 ।
So Aaron and Moses/I went into the king’s [palace] and said to him, “Yahweh God, whom we Hebrews [worship], says this: ‘How long will you stubbornly refuse to do what I tell you [MTY]? Let my people go, in order that they may worship me [in the desert]
4 तैँले मेरा मानिसहरूलाई जान दिन इन्कार गरिस् भने सुन्, भोलि म तेरो देशमा सलहहरू ल्याउनेछु ।
If you [keep] refusing to let them go, I warn you that tomorrow I will bring (locusts/[large flying insects called] locusts) into your country.
5 कसैले जमिनलाई देख्न नसक्ने गरी तिनीहरूले भुइँलाई ढाक्नेछन् । असिनाबाट बचेर रहेका कुनै पनि चिज तिनीहरूले खाइदिनेछन् । खेतमा उम्रने हरेक रुखलाई पनि तिनीहरूले खाइदिनेछन् ।
[They will completely cover the ground so that] you will not even be able to see the ground. They will eat everything that the hail did not [destroy]. They will eat [everything that is left on] the trees.
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 ।
They will fill your houses, and the houses of all your officials, and the houses of all [the rest of] the Egyptians. [There will be more locusts] than you or your parents or your grandparents have ever seen, from the time your ancestors first came to [this] land until the present time!’” Then he/I turned and [Aaron and] I left the king.
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?”
The king’s officials said to him, “(How long is this man going to continue to bring disasters on us?/We must not let this man continue to cause trouble for us!) [RHQ] Let the [Israeli] men leave, in order that they may worship Yahweh, their god. (Do you not yet understand that [this man] has ruined Egypt?/You ought to realize by now that [this man] has ruined Egypt!)” [RHQ]
8 मोशा र हारून फेरि पनि फारोकहाँ ल्याइए । फारोले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको आराधना गर्न जाओ । तर जानेहरूचाहिँ को-को हुनेछन्?”
So they brought Aaron and Moses/me back to the king. He said to them/us, “[All right], you can go and worship Yahweh your god. But who are the ones who will go?”
9 मोशाले भने, “हामी हाम्रा छोराछोरीहरू, बुढाबुढीहरू लिएर जानेछौँ । हामीले हाम्रा गाईवस्तु र भेडा-बाख्राहरू लिएर जानेछौँ किनकि हामीले परमप्रभुको निम्ति चाड मनाउनुपर्छ ।”
Moses/I replied, “We [all] need to go, everyone, including those who are young and those who are old. We need to take our sons and our daughters and our flocks [of sheep and goats] and herds [of livestock], because we must have a festival to [honor] Yahweh.”
10 फारोले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “मैले तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका सन्तानहरूलाई जान दिएँ भने वास्तवमा परमप्रभु तिमीहरूसँगै होऊन् । हेर, तिमीहरूको मनमा कुनै दुष्टता छ ।
[Moses/I really did not intend that the Israelis would ever return to Egypt, and the king knew that also. So] the king replied [sarcastically], “[If you all leave], [it will be clear that] Yahweh has helped you, but I myself will never let you [take] your children [and your wives] when you go! It is clear that you are wickedly planning [not to return].
11 तिमीहरूमा बिचमा भएका पुरुषहरू मात्र गएर परमप्रभुको आराधना गरून् किनकि तिमीहरूले चाहेको यही नै हो ।” त्यसपछि मोशा र हारूनलाई फारोको उपस्थितिबाट हटाइयो ।
So no, [I will not let you all go]. [The Israeli] men may go [and worship Yahweh], if that is what you want.” Then the king expelled them/us from [his palace].
12 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “सलहहरू मिश्र देशमा आऊन् भनी तेरो हात पसार् । असिनाको आक्रमणबाट बाँकी रहेका मिश्र देशका हरेक थोकमाथि तिनीहरूले आक्रमण गरून् ।”
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Reach out your hand as [though you were stretching it] over the land to welcome the locusts. They will come to the country of Egypt and eat every plant that is [left] in the land, every plant that the hail has not destroyed.”
13 मोशाले आफ्नो लट्ठी मिश्र देशमाथि पसारे अनि परमप्रभुले दिनरात समस्त देशमा पूर्वीय बतास चलाइदिनुभयो । बिहान हुँदा पूर्वीय बतासले सलहहरू ल्याएको थियो ।
So Moses/I held out his/my stick [as though he/I was stretching it] over the whole land of Egypt. Then Yahweh caused a [strong] wind to blow from the east, and it blew over the land all that day and all that night. By the [next] morning, it had 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 ।
The locusts swarmed all over Egypt. It was larger than any swarm of locusts that had ever [been seen], and there will never be [a swarm of locusts like that] again.
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 ।
They covered the surface of the ground and made it [appear] black. They ate all the plants in the land and everything on the trees that had not been destroyed by the hail. Nothing that was green was left on any plant or on any tree, anywhere in Egypt.
16 त्यसपछि फारोले झट्टै मोशा र हारूनलाई डाक्न पठाए र भने, “मैले तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर र तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेको छु ।
The king quickly summoned Aaron and Moses/me and said, “I have sinned against Yahweh, your god, and against you [two].
17 अब यस पल्ट मेरो पाप क्षमा गरिदेऊ र मबाट यस मृत्युलाई लगियोस् भनी तिमीहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरसित बिन्ती चढाइदेओ ।”
So now I ask you to forgive me this one time [for having] sinned, and pray to Yahweh your god to stop [these locusts] [MTY] [from causing everything] to die.”
18 त्यसैले मोशा फारोकहाँबाट गए र परमप्रभुलाई बिन्ती चढाए ।
They/We left the king, and Moses/I prayed to Yahweh.
19 परमप्रभुले निकै शक्तिशाली पश्चिमी बतास चलाइदिनुभयो जसले सलहहरूलाई उडाई लाल समुद्रमा लग्यो । मिश्रका इलाकाभित्र एउटै पनि सलह रहेन ।
Then Yahweh changed the wind so that it blew [strongly] from the west, and it blew all the locusts into the Red Sea (OR, the Gulf of Suez). There was not one locust left anywhere in the country of Egypt.
20 तर परमप्रभुले फारोको ह्रदय कठोर बनाइदिनुभयो र तिनले इस्राएलीहरूलाई जान दिएनन् ।
But Yahweh made the king stubborn [IDM] [again], and he did not let the Israeli people go.
21 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “आकाशतिर तेरो हात पसार् अनि मिश्र देशभरि महसुस गर्न सकिने अन्धकार होस् ।”
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Reach your hand up toward the sky, in order that there will be darkness over all the land of Egypt, a darkness [so complete] that people will have to grope around [to know where to walk].”
22 मोशाले आफ्नो हात आकाशतिर पसारे र मिश्र देशभरि तिन दिनसम्म निस्पट्ट अन्धकार छायो ।
So Moses/I reached his/my hand toward the sky, and it became totally dark all over Egypt for three days [and nights].
23 कसैले कसैलाई देख्न सक्दैनथ्यो । तिन दिनसम्म कोही पनि आफ्नो घरबाहिर निस्केन । तर सबै इस्राएली बसेको ठाउँमा भने उज्यालै थियो ।
People could not see each other. No one left his house during that whole time. But there was light in the area where the Israeli people were living.
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 ।”
The king summoned Moses/me and said, “All right, you may go and worship Yahweh. [Your wives and] your children may go with you. But your flocks of sheep and goats and your herds of cattle must remain here.”
25 तर मोशाले भने, “हाम्रा परमप्रभु परमेश्वरलाई बलिदान चढाउन तपाईंले हामीलाई बलिदान र होमबलिको निम्ति पशुहरू पनि दिनुपर्छ ।
But Moses/I replied, “[No], you must let us [take along the sheep and goats, in order] that we may have [some of them] to sacrifice and give as burned offerings to Yahweh, 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 livestock must also go with us; we are not going to leave one of them [SYN] behind. We must take them to worship Yahweh. We will not know [which animals to sacrifice] until we get to where we are going.”
27 तर परमप्रभुले फारोको ह्रदय कठोर पारिदिनुभयो र तिनले तिनीहरूलाई जान दिएनन् ।
But Yahweh made the king [continue to be] stubborn [IDM], and he would not let [the Israeli] people go.
28 फारोले मोशालाई भने, “मबाट जाऊ! एउटा कुराको बारेमा होसियार होऊ । अबदेखि मेरो सामु देख नपर किनकि मेरो अनुहार देखेको दिनमा तिमी मर्नेछौ ।”
The king said to me, “Get out of here! Make sure that you never come to see me [SYN] again! The day you see me again, [I will have] you executed!”
29 मोशाले भने, “तपाईंले भन्नुभएझैँ होस् । म फेरि तपाईंको अनुहार हेर्नेछैनँ ।”
Moses/I replied, “You are correct! You will never see me [SYN] again!”
