प्रस्थान 14
1 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई यसो भन्नुभयो,
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, that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall encamp opposite it by the sea.
3 फारोले इस्राएलीहरूको बारेमा भन्नेछन्, “तिनीहरू देशमा भौतारिहरहेका छन् । उजाड-स्थानले तिनीहरूलाई थुनिदिएको छ ।'
Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are entangled in the land. 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 ।
I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will follow after them; and I will get honour over Pharaoh, and over all his armies; and the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD.” 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 ।”
The king of Egypt was told that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed 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 ।
He prepared his chariot, and took his army 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, with captains over all of them.
8 परमप्रभुले मिश्रका राजा फारोको ह्रदय कठोर पारिदिनुभएको थियो । त्यसैले राजाले इस्राएलीहरूको पिछा गरे । इस्राएलीहरू विजयका साथ गइसकेका थिए ।
The LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued 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 ।
The Egyptians pursued them. All the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his army overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before 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 ।
When Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were very afraid. The children of Israel cried out 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?
They said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way, to bring 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 ।”
Isn’t this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to 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 ।
Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will work for you today; for you will never again see the Egyptians whom you have seen today.
14 परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका पक्षमा लड्नुहुनेछ । तिमीहरू केवल स्थिर भएर बस ।”
The LORD will fight for you, and you shall be still.”
15 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “ए मोशा, किन तँ मेरो पुकार गर्दै छस्? इस्राएलीहरूलाई अगाडि बढ्न आज्ञा दे ।
The LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Speak to 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 ।
Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. Then the children of Israel shall go into the middle 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 ।
Behold, I myself will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they will go in after them. I will get myself honour over Pharaoh, and over all his armies, over his chariots, and over 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 ।”
The Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD when I have gotten myself honour over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.”
19 इस्राएलीहरूको अगिअगि गएका परमेश्वरका दूत त्यहाँबाट तिनीहरूका पछिल्तिर सरे । मिश्रको छाउनी र इस्राएलको छाउनीको बिचमा बादल आएर बस्यो ।
The angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved 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 ।
It came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. There was the cloud and the darkness, yet it gave light by night. One didn’t come near the other all night.
21 मोशाले समुद्रतिर आफ्नो हात पसारे । परमप्रभुले रातभरि सबैभन्दा शक्तिशाली पूर्वीय बतास चलाइदिनुभयो र समुद्रलाई सुक्खा भूमिमा परिणत गराइदिनुभयो ।
Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all 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 ।
The children of Israel went into the middle of the sea on the dry ground; and the waters were a wall to 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 ।
The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the middle of the sea: all of 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 ।
In the morning watch, the LORD looked out on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and confused the Egyptian army.
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 ।”
He took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, “Let’s 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 ।”
The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on 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 ।
Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it. The LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the middle of the sea.
28 पानी फर्केर आयो र इस्राएलीहरूको पिछा गर्ने फारोका रथ, घोडचढी र तिनका पुरै सेनालाई पानीले ढाकिदियो । कोही पनि बाँचेन ।
The waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all Pharaoh’s army 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 on dry land in the middle of the sea, and the waters were a wall to 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 on the seashore.
31 परमप्रभुले मिश्रीहरूको विरुद्धमा प्रयोग गर्नुभएको महान् शक्तिलाई जब इस्राएलले देख्यो मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुको आदर गरे, र तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु र उहाँका दास मोशामाथि भरोसा गरे ।
Israel saw the great work which the LORD did to the Egyptians, and the people feared the LORD; and they believed in the LORD and in his servant Moses.
