प्रस्थान 13

1 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई यसो भन्‍नुभयो,

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

2 “इस्राएलीहरूमध्येका मानिस र पशुहरू दुवैबाट पहिले जन्मेका सबै नरलाई मेरो निम्ति अलग गर् । पहिले जन्मेकाहरू मेरा हुन् ।”

“Sanctify to Me every firstborn, opening any womb among the sons of Israel, among man and among beast; it [is] Mine.”

3 मोशाले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “आजको दिन सम्झना राख । आजकै दिन परमप्रभुको शक्तिशाली हातद्वारा तिमीहरू मिश्रको दासत्वबाट यस ठाउँमा ल्याइएका छौ । खमिर हालेको कुनै पनि रोटी खाइनेछैन ।

And Moses says to the people, “Remember this day [in] which you have gone out from Egypt, from the house of servants, for by strength of hand YHWH has brought you out from this, and anything fermented is not eaten;

4 तिमीहरू आबीब महिनाको आजकै दिनमा मिश्रबाट बाहिर जाँदै छौ ।

you are going out today, in the month of Abib.

5 परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई कनानी, हित्ती, एमोरी, हिव्वी र यबूसीहरूको दूध र मह बग्‍ने देशमा लैजानुहुँदा तिमीहरूले यही महिनामा आराधनाको यो चाड मान्‍नू ।

And it has been, when YHWH brings you to the land of the Canaanite, and of the Hittite, and of the Amorite, and of the Hivite, and of the Jebusite, which He has sworn to your fathers to give to you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you have done this service in this month.

6 सात दिनसम्म तिमीहरूले खमिर नहालेको रोटी खानू । सातौँ दिनमा परमप्रभुको निम्ति चाड हुनेछ ।

Seven days you eat unleavened things, and in the seventh day [is] a celebration to YHWH;

7 सात दिनसम्म खमिर नहालेको रोटी खानू । खमिर हालेको रोटी तिमीहरूका बिचमा नदेखियोस् ।

unleavened things are eaten the seven days, and anything fermented is not seen with you; indeed, leaven is not seen with you in all your border.

8 त्यस दिन तिमीहरूले आ-आफ्ना छोराछोरीहरूलाई भन्‍नू, 'म मिश्रबाट बाहिर आउँदा परमप्रभुले मेरो निम्ति जे गर्नुभएको थियो, त्यसैको खातिर मैले यसो गरेको हुँ ।'

And you have declared to your son in that day, saying, [It is] because of what YHWH did to me, in my going out from Egypt,

9 यो तिमीहरूका निम्ति हातमा र तिमीहरूको निधारमा सम्झना गराउने कुरो हुनेछ । परमप्रभुको शक्तिशाली हातले तिमीहरूलाई मिश्रबाट बाहिर ल्याएकोले तिमीहरूको मुखमा यो उहाँको विधि हुनेछ ।

and it has been to you for a sign on your hand, and for a memorial between your eyes, so that the Law of YHWH is in your mouth, for by a strong hand YHWH has brought you out from Egypt;

10 त्यसकारण वर्षैपिच्छे तिमीहरूले तोकिएको समयमा यो विधिको पालन गर्नू ।

and you have kept this statute at its appointed time from days to days.

11 परमप्रभुले तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूसित शपथ खानुभएझैँ उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई कनानीहरूको देशमा पुर्‍याई त्यो देश तिमीहरूलाई दिनुहुँदा

And it has been, when YHWH brings you to the land of the Canaanite as He has sworn to you and to your fathers, and has given it to you,

12 तिमीहरूले हरेकको गर्भको पहिले फल परमप्रभुको निम्ति अलग गर्नू ।

that you have caused everyone opening a womb to pass over to YHWH, and every firstling—the increase of beasts which you have: the males [are] YHWH’s.

13 गधाको हरेक पहिलो फललाई एउटा पाठोद्वारा छुटाउनू । त्यो छुटाएनौ भने त्यसको घाँटी निमोठिदिनू । तर तिमीहरूका सबै छोराका बिचमा पहिलो फललाई तिमीहरूले छुटाउनैपर्छ ।

And every firstling of a donkey you ransom with a lamb, and if you do not ransom [it], then you have beheaded it; and you ransom every firstborn of man among your sons.

14 'यसको मतलब के हो?' भनी पछि तिमीहरूको छोरोले सोध्दा तिमीहरूले यसो भन्‍नू, 'परमप्रभुले शक्तिशाली हातद्वारा हामीलाई मिश्रको दासत्वबाट निकालेर ल्याउनुभयो ।

And it has been, when your son asks you hereafter, saying, What [is] this? That you have said to him, By strength of hand YHWH has brought us out from Egypt, from a house of servants;

15 हठी भएर फारोले हामीलाई जान दिन इन्कार गर्दा परमप्रभुले मिश्र देशमा मानिस र पशु दुवैका सबै पहिले जन्मेकाहरूलाई मार्नुभयो । त्यसकारण म हरेक पशुको पहिले जन्मेको नरलाई परमप्रभुको निम्ति बलिदान चढाउँछु, र मेरा छोराहरूमध्ये जेठोलाई छुटाउँछु ।'

indeed, it comes to pass, when Pharaoh has been pained to send us away, that YHWH slays every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of man even to the firstborn of beast; therefore I am sacrificing to YHWH all opening a womb who [are] males, and I ransom every firstborn of my sons;

16 यो तिमीहरूको हात र तिमीहरूको निधारमा सम्झना दिलाउने कुरो हुनेछ किनकि परमप्रभुको शक्तिशाली हातद्वारा उहाँले हामीलाई मिश्रबाट बाहिर ल्याउनुभएको थियो ।”

and it has been for a token on your hand, and for frontlets between your eyes, for by strength of hand YHWH has brought us out of Egypt.”

17 फारोले मानिसहरूलाई जान दिएपछि परमेश्‍वरले तिनीहरूलाई पलिश्तीको देशको बाटो नजिकै भए तापनि त्यहाँबाट भएर अगुवाइ गर्नुभएन । किनकि उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “तिनीहरूले लडाइँ देखेर तिनीहरूको मन बद्ली तिनीहरू मिश्रमा नै फर्केर जान सक्छन् ।”

And it comes to pass in Pharaoh’s sending the people away, that God has not led them the way of the land of the Philistines, for it [is] near; for God said, “Lest the people sigh in their seeing war, and have turned back toward Egypt”;

18 त्यसैले परमेश्‍वरले ती मानिसहरूलाई उजाड-स्थानको बाटो भएर लाल समुद्रतिर लैजानुभयो । इस्राएलीहरू युद्धको लागि सशस्‍त्र भई मिश्र देशबाट अगि बढे ।

and God turns around the people the way of the wilderness of the Red Sea, and the sons of Israel have gone up by fifties from the land of Egypt.

19 मोशाले योसेफको अस्थि आफूसितै लगे किनकि योसेफले इस्राएलीहरूलाई यसरी गम्भीरतापूर्वक शपथ खान लगाएका थिए, “निश्‍चय नै परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिनुहुनेछ र तिमीहरूले मेरो अस्थि आफूसितै लैजानू ।”

And Moses takes the bones of Joseph with him, for he certainly caused the sons of Israel to swear, saying, “God certainly inspects you, and you have brought up my bones from this [place] with you.”

20 इस्राएलीहरू सुक्‍कोतबाट यात्रा गरी उजाड-स्थानको नजिकै एथाममा आइपुगे र त्यहाँ तिनीहरूले पाल टाँगे ।

And they journey from Succoth, and encamp in Etham at the extremity of the wilderness,

21 परमप्रभु दिनमा बादलको खाँबो बनी तिनीहरूको अगिअगि जानुहुन्थ्यो । रातमा आगोको खाँबो बनी उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई ज्योति दिनुहुन्थ्यो । यसरी तिनीहरू दिन र रातमा यात्रा गर्न सक्थे ।

and YHWH is going before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them in the way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give light to them, to go by day and by night;

22 परमप्रभुले दिनमा बादलको खाँबो र रातमा आगोको खाँबो मानिसहरूबाट हटाउनुभएन ।

He does not remove the pillar of the cloud by day, and the pillar of the fire by night, [from] before the people.
