प्रस्थान 14
1 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई यसो भन्नुभयो,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
2 “इस्राएलीहरू फर्केर मिग्दोल र समुद्रको बिचमा बाल-सेफोनको अगाडि पी-हहीरोतका सामु पाल टाँगेर बसून् । तिमीहरूले पी-हहीरोतको सामुन्ने समुद्रनेर पाल टाँग्नुपर्छ ।
'Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal-zephon, over against it shall ye encamp by the sea.
3 फारोले इस्राएलीहरूको बारेमा भन्नेछन्, “तिनीहरू देशमा भौतारिहरहेका छन् । उजाड-स्थानले तिनीहरूलाई थुनिदिएको छ ।'
And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel: They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
4 म फारोको ह्रदय कठोर बनाउनेछु र त्यसले तिमीहरूको पिछा गर्नेछ । फारो र त्यसका सबै सेनाको कारणले गर्दा मैले आदर पाउनेछु । म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी मिश्रीहरूले जान्नेछन् ।” इस्राएलीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरिएझैँ तिनीहरूले पाल टाँगे ।
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he shall follow after them; and I will get Me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; and the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD.' And they did so.
5 इस्राएलीहरू भागे भनी जब मिश्रका राजालाई बताइयो फारो र तिनका अधिकारीहरूको मन इस्राएलीहरूको विरुद्धमा फर्कियो । तिनीहरूले भने, “हामीले के गर्यौँ? हामीले इस्राएललाई हाम्रो सेवा गर्नबाट छाडिदिएछौँ ।”
And it was told the king of Egypt that the people were fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned towards the people, and they said: 'What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
6 तब फारोले आफ्ना रथहरू तयार पारे र आफ्नो सेना लिएर अगाडि बढे ।
And he made ready his chariots, and took his people with him.
7 तिनले छ सयवटा रोजाइका रथसाथै मिश्रका अन्य सबै रथहरू र तीमाथि अधिकृतहरूलाई लिएर गए ।
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over all of them.
8 परमप्रभुले मिश्रका राजा फारोको ह्रदय कठोर पारिदिनुभएको थियो । त्यसैले राजाले इस्राएलीहरूको पिछा गरे । इस्राएलीहरू विजयका साथ गइसकेका थिए ।
And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; for the children of Israel went out with a high hand.
9 तर मिश्रीहरूले आफ्ना सबै घोडा, रथ, घोडचढी र सेना लिएर तिनीहरूको पिछा गरे । तिनीहरूले इस्राएलीहरूलाई बाल-सेफोनको अगाडि पी-हहीरोतनेर पाल टाँगेर बसिरहेको भेट्टाए ।
And the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, in front of Baal-zephon.
10 जब फारो नजिक आइपुगे इस्राएलीहरूले माथि हेरे र तिनीहरू छक्क परे । मिश्रीहरू तिनीहरूको पिछा गर्दै अगाडि बढ्दै थिए । इस्राएलीहरू अत्यन्तै डराए । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई पुकारे ।
And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were sore afraid; and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
11 तिनीहरूले मोशालाई भने, “के मिश्रमा चिहान नभएकोले तपाईंले हामीलाई यस उजाड-स्थानमा मर्न ल्याएउनुभएको हो? मिश्रबाट बाहिर निकाली किन तपाईंले हामीसित यसरी व्यवहार गर्नुभएको?
And they said unto Moses: 'Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to bring us forth out of Egypt?
12 के मिश्रमा छँदा नै हामीले यसको भनेका थिएनौँ र? हामीले तपाईंलाई भन्यौँ, 'मिश्रीहरूका निम्ति काम गर्न हामीलाई एक्लै छाडिदिनुहोस् ।' उजाड-स्थानमा मर्नुभन्दा त तिनीहरूकै निम्ति काम गर्नु असल हुनेथियो ।”
Is not this the word that we spoke unto thee in Egypt, saying: Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it were better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.'
13 मोशाले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “नडराओ । स्थिर रहो, र आज परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुहुने छुटकारालाई हेर । किनकि आज तिमीहरूले देखेका यी मिश्रीहरूलाई तिमीहरूले फेरि कहिल्यै देख्नेछैनौ ।
And Moses said unto the people: 'Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will work for you to-day; for whereas ye have seen the Egyptians to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
14 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका पक्षमा लड्नुहुनेछ । तिमीहरू केवल स्थिर भएर बस ।”
The LORD will fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.'
15 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “ए मोशा, किन तँ मेरो पुकार गर्दै छस्? इस्राएलीहरूलाई अगाडि बढ्न आज्ञा दे ।
And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Wherefore criest thou unto Me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward.
16 तेरो लट्ठी उठाएर तेरो हात समुद्रतिर पसार् र यसलाई दुई भागमा विभाजन गर् ताकि इस्राएलका मानिसहरू सुक्खा भूमिबाट हिँडेर जान सकून् ।
And lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it; and the children of Israel shall go into the midst of the sea on dry ground.
17 मिश्रीहरू तिमीहरूका पिछा गरून् भनेर म तिनीहरूका ह्रदय कठोर पारिदिनेछु भन्ने कुरामा सचेत हो । फारो र त्यसका सबै सेना, त्यसका रथहरू र त्यसका घोडचढीहरूको कारणले मैले आदर पाउनेछु ।
And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them; and I will get Me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
18 तब फारो र त्यसका सबै सेना, त्यसका रथहरू र त्यसका घोडचढीहरूको कारणले मैले आदर पाउँदा म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी तिनीहरूले जान्नेछन् ।”
And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten Me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.'
19 इस्राएलीहरूको अगिअगि गएका परमेश्वरका दूत त्यहाँबाट तिनीहरूका पछिल्तिर सरे । मिश्रको छाउनी र इस्राएलको छाउनीको बिचमा बादल आएर बस्यो ।
And the angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them;
20 यो मिश्रीहरूको लागि अन्धकार बादल थियो जब कि यसले इस्राएलीहरूलाई रातमा प्रकाश दिन्थ्यो । तिनीहरू रातभरि एक-अर्काको नजिक आएनन् ।
and it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud and the darkness here, yet gave it light by night there; and the one came not near the other all the night.
21 मोशाले समुद्रतिर आफ्नो हात पसारे । परमप्रभुले रातभरि सबैभन्दा शक्तिशाली पूर्वीय बतास चलाइदिनुभयो र समुद्रलाई सुक्खा भूमिमा परिणत गराइदिनुभयो ।
And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22 इस्राएलीहरू समुद्रको बिचबाट ओबानो भूमिबाट गए । पानीले तिनीहरूको दायाँ र बायाँ खम्बाको रूपमा काम गर्यो ।
And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
23 मिश्रीहरूले तिनीहरूको पिछा गरिरहे । फारोका सबै घोडा, रथ र घोडचढीहरू समुद्रको बिचमा तिनीहरूको पछिपछि लागे ।
And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 तर बिहानी पखतिर परमप्रभुले आगो र बादलको खाँबोबाट मिश्री सेनालाई हेर्नुभयो । उहाँले मिश्रीहरूका बिचमा अलमल गराइदिनुभयो ।
And it came to pass in the morning watch, that the LORD looked forth upon the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and discomfited the host of the Egyptians.
25 तिनीहरूका रथका पाङ्ग्राहरू फुस्काइदिनुभयो र घोडचढीहरूलाई अगाडि बढ्न मुश्किल भयो । त्यसैले मिश्रीहरूले भने, “हामी इस्राएलबाट भागौँ किनकि परमप्रभु नै तिनीहरूको पक्षमा रही हाम्रो विरुद्धमा लड्दै हुनुहुन्छ ।”
And He took off their chariot wheels, and made them to drive heavily; so that the Egyptians said: 'Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.'
26 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “पानी मिश्रीहरू, तिनीहरूका रथहरू र तिनीहरूका घोडचढीहरूमाथि आओस् भनेर तेरो हात समुद्रमाथि पसार् ।”
And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Stretch out thy hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.'
27 त्यसैले मोशाले आफ्नो हात समुद्रमाथि पसारे र बिहान हुँदा यो आफ्नो सामान्य मार्गमा आयो । मिश्रीहरू समुद्रमा भागे, र परमप्रभुले मिश्रीहरूलाई समुद्रको बिचमा फ्याँकिदिनुभयो ।
And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 पानी फर्केर आयो र इस्राएलीहरूको पिछा गर्ने फारोका रथ, घोडचढी र तिनका पुरै सेनालाई पानीले ढाकिदियो । कोही पनि बाँचेन ।
And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the host of Pharaoh that went in after them into the sea; there remained not so much as one of them.
29 तर इस्राएलीहरू समुद्रको बिचमा ओबानो भूमिबाट हिँडेर गए । पानी तिनीहरूको दायाँ र बायाँ पर्खालको रूपमा खडा रह्यो ।
But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
30 यसरी त्यस दिन परमप्रभुले इस्राएललाई मिश्रीहरूको हातबाट बचाउनुभयो, र इस्राएलले समुद्री तटमा मिश्रीहरूका लाशहरू देखे ।
Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore.
31 परमप्रभुले मिश्रीहरूको विरुद्धमा प्रयोग गर्नुभएको महान् शक्तिलाई जब इस्राएलले देख्यो मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुको आदर गरे, र तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु र उहाँका दास मोशामाथि भरोसा गरे ।
And Israel saw the great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians, and the people feared the LORD; and they believed in the LORD, and in His servant Moses.
