< प्रस्थान 12 >

1 परमप्रभु मिश्र देशमा मोशा र हारूनसित बोल्नुभयो । उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो,
The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 “तिमीहरूका लागि यो महिनाहरूको सुरु हुनेछ । यो महिना तिमीहरूका लागि वर्षको पहिलो महिन हुनेछ ।
“This month shall be to you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year to you.
3 इस्राएलको समुदायलाई भन्, 'यो महिनाको दसौँ दिनमा हरेक परिवारले हरेक घरानाको लागि एउटा-एउटा पाठो ल्याउनुपर्छ ।
Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, ‘On the tenth day of this month, they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household;
4 एउटा पाठोको लागि घराना ज्यादै सानो भएमा त्यो घराना र नजिकैको छिमेकी मिलेर एउटा थुमा वा पाठो ल्याउनुपर्छ जुन ती मानिसहरूको सङ्ख्याको लागि पर्याप्‍त हुनेछ । हरेकलाई खानको लागि यो पर्याप्‍त हुनेछ ।
and if the household is too little for a lamb, then he and his neighbour next to his house shall take one according to the number of the souls. You shall make your count for the lamb according to what everyone can eat.
5 त्यसैले सबैलाई खुवाउन तिनीहरूले पर्याप्‍त मासु तयार गर्नुपर्छ । तिमीहरूको थुमा वा पाठो खोटरहित हुनुपर्छ र यो एक वर्षको हुनुपर्छ । तिमीहरूले भेडा वा बाख्राहरूबाट त्यो लिनू ।
Your lamb shall be without defect, a male a year old. You shall take it from the sheep or from the goats.
6 तिमीहरूले यसलाई त्यो महिनाको चौधौँ दिनसम्म राख्‍नुपर्छ । त्यसपछि इस्राएलको सारा समुदायले यी पशुहरूलाई साँझमा मार्नू ।
You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at evening.
7 जुन-जुन घरमा त्यो मासु खाइन्छ, त्यहाँ तिमीहरूले केही रगत लिई घरको ढोकाको चौकोसका दुईपट्टिका खम्बाहरू र माथिल्लो भागमा लगाऊन् ।
They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two door posts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall eat it.
8 त्यस रात तिमीहरूले आगोमा पोलेर त्यो मासु खानू । तितो सागसित खमिर नहालेको रोटीसितै तिमीहरूले त्यो खानू ।
They shall eat the meat in that night, roasted with fire, with unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs.
9 काँचो वा पानीमा उमालेर नखाओ । बरु, यसको टाउको, यसका खुट्टा र भित्री भागहरूसमेत आगोमा पोलेर खाओ ।
Don’t eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; with its head, its legs and its inner parts.
10 बिहानसम्ममा कुनै पनि भाग नउबार्नू । बिहानसम्म केही उब्रियो भने त्यसलाई जलाइदिनू ।
You shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.
11 पटुका कसेर, खुट्टामा जुत्ता लगाएर र हातमा लट्ठी बोकेर तिमीहरूले खानू । तिमीहरूले हतारसँग खानुपर्छ । यो परमप्रभुको निस्तार-चाड हो ।
This is how you shall eat it: with your belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD’s Passover.
12 परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छः म त्यस रात मिश्र देश भएर जानेछु र मिश्र देशका मानिस र गाईवस्तुका सबै पहिले जन्मेकाहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछु । म मिश्रका सबै देवी-देवतालाई दण्ड दिनेछु । म परमप्रभु हुँ ।
For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and animal. I will execute judgements against all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD.
13 म तिमीहरूकहाँ आउँदा रगत तिमीहरूको घरमा चिन्ह हुनेछ । मैले रगत देखेपछि मैले मिश्र देशमा आक्रमण गर्दा तिमीहरूलाई छाडिदिनेछु । यो विपत्तिले तिमीहरूलाई नाश गर्नेछैन ।
The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are. When I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
14 यो दिन तिमीहरूका लागि सम्झनाको दिन हुनेछ र यसलाई तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुको निम्ति चाडको रूपमा मान्‍नू । तिमीहरूको पुस्तौँसम्म रहिरहने विधिको रूपमा यसलाई तिमीहरूले सधैँ मान्‍नू ।
This day shall be a memorial for you. You shall keep it as a feast to the LORD. You shall keep it as a feast throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.
15 सात दिनसम्म तिमीहरूले खमिर नहालेको रोटी खानू । पहिलो दिनमा तिमीहरूले आ-आफ्ना घरहरूबाट खमिर हटाउनू । पहिलो दिनदेखि सातौँ दिनसम्म खमिर हालेको रोटी खाने मान्छे जोसुकैलाई पनि तिमीहरूले इस्राएलबाट बहिष्कार गर्नू ।
“‘Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away yeast out of your houses, for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
16 पहिलो दिनमा मेरो लागि अलग गरिएको समुदाय भेला होस् र सातौँ दिनमा पनि यस्तै भेला होस् । यी दिनमा कुनै पनि काम गरिनेछैन । तिमीहरूले केवल खानको लागि पकाउने काम गर्नू । तिमीहरूले गर्न सक्‍ने काम यही मात्र हुनेछ ।
In the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no kind of work shall be done in them, except that which every man must eat, only that may be done by you.
17 तिमीहरूले यो अखमिरी रोटीको चाड मान्‍नैपर्छ किनकि यही दिनमा नै मैले तिमीहरूका सशत्र मानिसहरूलाई दल-दल गरी मिश्र देशबाट ल्याएको हुनेछु ।
You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this same day I have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.
18 तिमीहरूले यसलाई पुस्तौँसम्म मान्‍नू । यो तिमीहरूका निम्ति सधैँ एउटा विधि हुनेछ । वर्षको पहिलो महिनाको चौधौँ दिनको साँझदेखि त्यस महिनाको एक्‍काइसौँ दिनको साँझसम्म तिमीहरूले अखमिरी रोटी खानू ।
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty first day of the month at evening.
19 यी सात दिनमा तिमीहरूका घरहरूमा कुनै खमिर पाइनुहुँदैन । खमिर हालेको रोटी खाने जोसुकै इस्राएलको समुदायबाट बहिष्कृत हुनेछ, चाहे त्यो व्यक्ति विदेशी होस् या तिमीहरूकै देशमा जन्मेको होस् ।
There shall be no yeast found in your houses for seven days, for whoever eats that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a foreigner, or one who is born in the land.
20 खमिरबाट बनेको कुनै पनि थोक तिमीहरूले नखानू । तिमीहरू जहाँ बसे तापनि तिमीहरूले खमिर नहालेको रोटी मात्र खानू ।”
You shall eat nothing leavened. In all your habitations you shall eat unleavened bread.’”
21 तब मोशाले इस्राएलका सबै धर्म-गुरुलाई बोलाउन पठाएर भने, “गएर आ-आफ्नो परिवारको लागि पर्याप्‍त हुने गरी थुमा वा पाठो छनौट गरेर त्यसलाई निस्तार-चाडको लागि मार ।
Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, “Draw out, and take lambs according to your families, and kill the Passover.
22 त्यसपछि हिसपको झुप्पा लिई भाँडोभित्र भएको रगतमा चोप । ढोकाको माथिल्लो भाग र दुईवटै चौकोसमा त्यसलाई छ्याप्‍नू । बिहान नभएसम्म कोही पनि आफ्नो घरको ढोकाबाहिर नजानू ।
You shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two door posts with the blood that is in the basin. None of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.
23 किनकि मिश्रीहरूलाई प्रहार गर्न परमप्रभु यो देश भएर जानुहुनेछ । जब उहाँले ढोकाको माथिल्लो भाग र दुईवटै चौकोसमा रगत देख्‍नुहुनेछ तब उहाँले तिमीहरूको ढोकालाई छाडिदिनुहुनेछ र विनाश गर्नेलाई तिमीहरूलाई प्रहार गर्न तिमीहरूका घरहरूमा आउन अनुमति दिनुहुनेछैन ।
For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two door posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to strike you.
24 तिमीहरूले यस घटनालाई मान्‍नुपर्छ । यो तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका सन्तानको लागि सदाको निम्ति एउटा विधि हुनेछ ।
You shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever.
25 परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुहुने देशमा तिमीहरू प्रवेश गर्दा तिमीहरूले यो आराधनाको कामलाई मान्‍नू ।
It shall happen when you have come to the land which the LORD will give you, as he has promised, that you shall keep this service.
26 तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीहरूले 'यो आराधनाको कामको अर्थ के हो?' भनी सोध्दा
It will happen, when your children ask you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’
27 तिमीहरूले जवाफ दिनू, “यो परमप्रभुको निस्तार-चाडको बलिदान हो किनकि परमप्रभुले मिश्रमा मिश्रीहरूलाई प्रहार गर्नुहुँदा इस्राएलीहरूका घरलाई छाडिदिनुभएको थियो । उहाँले हाम्रा घरानाहरूलाई मुक्त गरिदिनुभयो' ।” त्यसपछि मानिसहरूले शिर निहुराई परमप्रभुको आराधना गरे ।
that you shall say, ‘It is the sacrifice of the LORD’s Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians, and spared our houses.’” The people bowed their heads and worshipped.
28 इस्राएलीहरू गए र परमप्रभुले मोशा र हारूनलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ तिनीहरूले गरे ।
The children of Israel went and did so; as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
29 मध्यरातमा परमप्रभुले मिश्र देशमा सिंहासनमा बस्‍ने फारोको जेठो छोरोदेखि लिएर झ्यालखानामा बस्‍ने व्यक्तिको जेठो छोरोसम्म र गाईवस्तुका सबै पहिले जन्मेकाहरूलाई प्रहार गर्नुभयो ।
At midnight, the LORD struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of livestock.
30 फारो, तिनका सबै अधिकारी र सबै मिश्रीहरू रातमा उठे । मिश्रमा ठुलो रुवाबासी भएको थियो किनकि मान्छे नमेरको कुनै घर थिएन ।
Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
31 रातमा फारोले मोशा र हारूनलाई बोलाउन पठाए र भने, “उठ, तिमी र इस्राएलीहरू मेरा मानिसहरूका बिचबाट निस्केर जाओ । तिमीहरूले चाहेजस्तै गएर परमप्रभुको आराधना चढाओ ।
He called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, “Rise up, get out from amongst my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as you have said!
32 तिमीहरूले भनेजस्तै तिमीहरूका गाईवस्तु र भेडा-बाख्राहरू लिएर जाओ र मलाई पनि आशिष् देओ ।”
Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also!”
33 तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर पठाउन मिश्रीहरू निकै हतारमा थिए किनकि तिनीहरूले भने, “हामी सबै मर्नेछौँ ।”
The Egyptians were urgent with the people, to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, “We are all dead men.”
34 त्यसैले मानिसहरूले खमिर नमिसाइएको मुछेको पिठोको डल्लो लिए । तिनीहरूका मुछ्ने आह्रीहरू पहिले तिनीहरूका लुगा र तिनीहरूका कुममा बाँधिएका थिए ।
The people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.
35 अब इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले मोशाले भनेझैँ गरे । तिनीहरूले मिश्रीहरूबाट चाँदी, सुनका वस्तुहरूसाथै लुगाहरू मागे ।
The children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing.
36 परमप्रभुले मिश्रीहरूलाई इस्राएलीहरूलाई खुसी तुल्याउन उत्सुक तुल्याइदिनुभएको थियो । त्यसैले इस्राएलीहरूले जे मागे तापनि मिश्रीहरूले दिए । यसरी इस्राएलीहरूले मिश्रीहरूलाई लुटे ।
The LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. They plundered the Egyptians.
37 इस्राएलीहरूले रामसेसबाट सुक्‍कोतमा यात्रा गरे । स्‍त्री र केटाकेटीहरूबाहेक पैदल हिँड्ने तिनीहरूको सङ्ख्या करिब ६,००,००० थियो ।
The children of Israel travelled from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot who were men, in addition to children.
38 तिनीहरूका साथमा अन्य धेरै मानिस अनि गाईवस्तु र भेडा-बाख्रा पनि थिए ।
A mixed multitude went up also with them, with flocks, herds, and even very much livestock.
39 तिनीहरूले मिश्रबाट ल्याएका पिठोको डल्लोबाट अखमिरी रोटी बनाए । यो खमिरविनाको थियो किनकि तिनीहरू मिश्रबाट धपाइएका थिए र खाना तयार गर्न तिनीहरूको लागि समय थिएन ।
They baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought out of Egypt; for it wasn’t leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, and couldn’t wait, and they had not prepared any food for themselves.
40 इस्राएलीहरू मिश्रमा ४३० वर्षसम्म बसेका थिए ।
Now the time that the children of Israel lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
41 ४३० वर्षको अन्तिम दिनमा परमप्रभुका सबै सशस्‍त्र दलहरू मिश्र देशबाट बाहिरिए ।
At the end of four hundred and thirty years, to the day, all of the LORD’s armies went out from the land of Egypt.
42 यो जागा रहनुपर्ने रात थियो किनकि परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई मिश्र देशबाट रातमा बाहिर निकालेर ल्याउनुभएको थियो । यो इस्राएलीहरूको पुस्तौँसम्म तिनीहरूले पालन गर्नुपर्ने परमप्रभुको रात थियो ।
It is a night to be much observed to the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt. This is that night of the LORD, to be much observed by all the children of Israel throughout their generations.
43 परमप्रभुले मोशा र हारूनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “निस्तार-चाडको नियम यस्तो छः यसमा कुनै पनि परदेशीले भाग नलिओस् ।
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner shall eat of it,
44 तर दाम तिरेर किनिएको हरेक इस्राएली दासको खतना गरिएपछि त्यसले यो खान सक्छ ।
but every man’s servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat of it.
45 विदेशीहरू र भाडामा लिइएका नोकरहरूले यो खानाको कुनै पनि भाग नखानू ।
A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat of it.
46 एउटै घरमा यसलाई खाइनुपर्छ । तिमीहरूले घरबाट कुनै पनि खाना बाहिर नलैजानू र यसको कुनै पनि हड्‍डी नभाँच्नू ।
It must be eaten in one house. You shall not carry any of the meat outside of the house. Do not break any of its bones.
47 इस्राएलका सारा समुदायले यसको पालन गर्नू ।
All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
48 कुनै परदेशी तिमीहरूका बिचमा बसेको छ र त्यसले परमप्रभुको निम्ति निस्तार-चाड मान्‍न चाहन्छ भने त्यसका सबै पुरुष नातेदारहरूको खतना गरिनुपर्छ । त्यसपछि मात्र त्यसले यो चाड मान्‍न पाउँछ । त्यो देशमै जन्मेका मानिसहरूजस्तै एक हुनेछ । तर बेखतने व्यक्तिले यसबाट खान पाउनेछैन ।
When a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, and would like to keep the Passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it. He shall be as one who is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.
49 स्वदेशी र तिमीहरूका बिचमा बसोबास गर्ने परदेशी दुवैलाई उही नियम लागु हुनेछ ।”
One law shall be to him who is born at home, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner amongst you.”
50 त्यसैले परमप्रभुले मोशा र हारूनलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ सबै इस्राएलीले त्यसै गरे ।
All the children of Israel did so. As the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
51 ठिक त्यही दिन परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूका सशस्‍त्र दलहरूलाई मिश्र देशबाट बाहिर निकालेर ल्याउनुभएको थियो ।
That same day, the LORD brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
