1 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई यसो भन्‍नुभयो,
And the Lord spoke to 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 to the children of Israel, and let them turn and encamp before the village, between Magdol and the sea, opposite Beel-sepphon: before them shall you encamp by the sea.
3 फारोले इस्राएलीहरूको बारेमा भन्‍नेछन्, “तिनीहरू देशमा भौतारिहरहेका छन् । उजाड-स्थानले तिनीहरूलाई थुनिदिएको छ ।'
And Pharao will say to his people, As for these children of Israel, they are wandering in the land, for the wilderness has 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 the heart of Pharao, and he shall pursue after them; and I will be glorified in Pharao, and in all his host, and all 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 reported to the king of the Egyptians that the people had fled: and the heart of Pharao was turned, and that of his servants against the people; and they said, What is this that we have done, to let the children of Israel go, so that they should not serve us?
6 तब फारोले आफ्ना रथहरू तयार पारे र आफ्नो सेना लिएर अगाडि बढे ।
So Pharao yoked his chariots, and led off all his people with himself:
7 तिनले छ सयवटा रोजाइका रथसाथै मिश्रका अन्य सबै रथहरू र तीमाथि अधिकृतहरूलाई लिएर गए ।
having also taken six hundred chosen chariots, and all the cavalry of the Egyptians, and rulers over all.
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 Pharao king of Egypt, and of his servants, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went forth 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, and found them encamped by the sea; and all the cavalry and the chariots of Pharao, and the horsemen, and his host [were] before the village, over against Beel-sepphon.
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 Pharao approached, and the children of Israel having looked up, saw, and the Egyptians encamped behind them: and they were very greatly terrified, and the children of Israel cried to 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 said to Moses, Because there were no graves in the land of Egypt, have you brought us forth to kill [us] in the wilderness? What is this that you have done to us, having brought us 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 which we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians? for it is better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in this 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 to the people, Be of good courage: stand and see the salvation which is from the Lord, which he will work for us this day; for as you have seen the Egyptians today, you shall see them again no more for ever.
14 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका पक्षमा लड्नुहुनेछ । तिमीहरू केवल स्थिर भएर बस ।”
The Lord shall fight for you, and you 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 to Moses, Why cry you to me? speak to the children of Israel, and let them proceed.
16 तेरो लट्ठी उठाएर तेरो हात समुद्रतिर पसार् र यसलाई दुई भागमा विभाजन गर् ताकि इस्राएलका मानिसहरू सुक्खा भूमिबाट हिँडेर जान सकून् ।
And do you lift up your rod, and stretch forth your hand over the sea, and divide it, and let the children of Israel enter into the midst of the sea on the dry land.
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 behold! I will harden the heart of Pharao and of all the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them; and I will be glorified upon Pharao, and on all his host, and on his chariots and his horses.
18 तब फारो र त्यसका सबै सेना, त्यसका रथहरू र त्यसका घोडचढीहरूको कारणले मैले आदर पाउँदा म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी तिनीहरूले जान्‍नेछन् ।”
And all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I am glorified upon Pharao and upon his chariots and his horses.
19 इस्राएलीहरूको अगिअगि गएका परमेश्‍वरका दूत त्यहाँबाट तिनीहरूका पछिल्तिर सरे । मिश्रको छाउनी र इस्राएलको छाउनीको बिचमा बादल आएर बस्यो ।
And the angel of God that went before the camp of the children of Israel removed and went behind, and the pillar of the cloud also 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 went between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and stood; and there was darkness and blackness; and the night passed, and they came not near to one another during the whole night.
21 मोशाले समुद्रतिर आफ्नो हात पसारे । परमप्रभुले रातभरि सबैभन्दा शक्तिशाली पूर्वीय बतास चलाइदिनुभयो र समुद्रलाई सुक्खा भूमिमा परिणत गराइदिनुभयो ।
And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the Lord carried back the sea with a strong south wind all the night, and made the sea dry, and the water was 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 on the dry land, and the water of it was a wall on the right hand and a wall on the left.
23 मिश्रीहरूले तिनीहरूको पिछा गरिरहे । फारोका सबै घोडा, रथ र घोडचढीहरू समुद्रको बिचमा तिनीहरूको पछिपछि लागे ।
And the Egyptians pursued them and went in after them, and every horse of Pharao, and his chariots, and his horsemen, into the midst of the sea.
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 on the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and troubled the camp 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 bound the axle-trees of their chariots, and caused them to go with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights 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 to Moses, Stretch forth tine hand over the sea, and let the water be turned back to its place, and let it cover the Egyptians [coming] both upon the chariots and the riders.
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 water returned to its place toward day; and the Egyptians fled from the water, and the Lord shook off 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 water returned and covered the chariots and the riders, and all the forces of Pharao, who entered after them into the sea: and there was not left of them even one.
29 तर इस्राएलीहरू समुद्रको बिचमा ओबानो भूमिबाट हिँडेर गए । पानी तिनीहरूको दायाँ र बायाँ पर्खालको रूपमा खडा रह्यो ।
But the children of Israel went along dry land in the midst of the sea, and the water was to them a wall on the right hand, and a wall on the left.
30 यसरी त्यस दिन परमप्रभुले इस्राएललाई मिश्रीहरूको हातबाट बचाउनुभयो, र इस्राएलले समुद्री तटमा मिश्रीहरूका लाशहरू देखे ।
So the Lord delivered Israel in that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead by the shore of the sea.
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 mighty hand, the [things] which the Lord did to the Egyptians; and the people feared the Lord, and they believed God and Moses his servant.
