< प्रस्थान 3 >
1 अब मोशा अझै पनि आफ्ना ससुरा मिद्यानका पूजाहारी यित्रोका भेडा-बाख्रा चराउँदै थिए । तिनले भेडा-बाख्रालाई उजाड-स्थानको परसम्म लगी परमेश्वरको पर्वत होरेबसम्म लगे ।
Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
2 त्यहाँ परमप्रभुका दूत जलिरहेको पोथ्रामा तिनीकहाँ देखा परे । मोशाले हेर्दा त्यो पोथ्रा जलिरहेको थियो तर भस्म भएको थिएन ।
And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the middle of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3 मोशाले भने, “म एकातिर गएर यो गजबको दृश्य किन भस्म भएको रहेनछ भनी हेर्नेछु ।”
And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4 जब तिनी हेर्नलाई एकातिर गएको परमप्रभुले देख्नुभयो तब उहाँले पोथ्राबाट तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “मोशा, ए मोशा ।” तिनले भने, “म यहीँ छु ।”
And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the middle of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
5 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “अझ नजिक नआइज । तेरो खुट्टाबाट तेरो जुत्ता फुकाल् किनकि तँ उभिएको भूमि मेरो लागि अलग गरिएको छ ।”
And he said, Draw not near here: put off your shoes from off your feet, for the place where on you stand is holy ground.
6 उहाँले थप्नुभयो, “म तेरा पिता अब्राहाम, इसहाक र याकूबका परमेश्वर हुँ ।” त्यसपछि मोशाले आफ्नो अनुहार ढाके किनकि तिनी परमेश्वरलाई हेर्न डराएका थिए ।
Moreover he said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look on God.
7 परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “निश्चय नै मिश्रमा भएका मेरा मानिसहरूको दुःखकष्ट मैले देखेको छु । तिनीहरूका नाइकेहरूको कारणले तिनीहरूको रुवाइ मैले सुनेको छु किनकि मलाई तिनीहरूको दुःखकष्ट थाहा छ ।
And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
8 तिनीहरूलाई मिश्रीहरूको शक्तिबाट छुटकारा दिलाई असल, विशाल अनि दूध र मह बग्ने देशमा लैजान म ओर्लिआएको छु । त्यो कनानी, हित्ती, एमोरी, परिज्जी, हिव्वी र यबूसीहरूको देश हो ।
And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good land and a large, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
9 अब इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको रुवाइ मकहाँ आइपुगेको छ । यसको अतिरिक्त, मिश्रीहरूद्वारा तिनीहरूमाथि गरिएको थिचोमिचोलाई पनि मैले देखेको छु ।
Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come to me: and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.
10 अब म तँलाई फारोकहाँ पठाउनेछु ताकि तैँले मेरा मानिस इस्राएलीहरूलाई मिश्रबाट निकालेर लैजान सक् ।”
Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
11 तर मोशाले परमेश्वरलाई भने, “फारोकहाँ गई मिश्रबाट इस्राएलीहरूलाई निकालेर ल्याउने म को हुँ र?”
And Moses said to God, Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12 परमेश्वरले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “निश्चय नै म तँसित हुनेछु । मैले तँलाई पठाएको हुँ भन्नाका लागि चिन्हचाहिँ यो हुनेछ । तैँले ती मानिसहरूलाई मिश्रबाट बाहिर ल्याएपछि तैँले यही पर्वतमा मेरो आराधना गर्नेछस् ।”
And he said, Certainly I will be with you; and this shall be a token to you, that I have sent you: When you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.
13 मोशाले परमेश्वरलाई भने, “म इस्राएलीहरूकहाँ गई 'तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाका परमेश्वरले मलाई तिमीहरूकहाँ पठाउनुभएको छ' भन्दा तिनीहरूले 'उहाँको नाउँ के हो' भनी सोधे भने मैले तिनीहरूलाई के जवाफ दिने?”
And Moses said to God, Behold, when I come to the children of Israel, and shall say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say to them?
14 परमेश्वरले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “म हुँ जो म हुँ ।” उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “तैँले इस्राएलीहरूलाई यसो भन्नू, 'म हुँ भन्नेले मलाई तिमीहरूकहाँ पठाउनुभएको छ' ।”
And God said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.
15 परमेश्वरले मोशालाई यसो पनि भन्नुभयो, “तैँले इस्राएलीहरूलाई यसो भन्नैपर्छ, 'तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाका परमेश्वर अर्थात् अब्राहामका परमेश्वर, इसहाकका परमेश्वर र याकूबका परमेश्वरले मलाई तिमीहरूकहाँ पठाउनुभएको हो । मेरो नाउँ सदासर्वादको लागि यही हो र यही नाउँद्वारा पुस्तौँसम्म मेरो सम्झना गरिनेछ ।'
And God said moreover to Moses, Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial to all generations.
16 गएर इस्राएलका धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई भेला गर् । तिनीहरूलाई यसो भन्नू, 'तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाका परमेश्वर अर्थात् अब्राहाम, इसहाक र याकूबका परमेश्वर मकहाँ देखा परी भन्नुभयो, “मैले वास्तवमै तिमीहरूलाई अवलोकन गरेको छु र तिमीहरूलाई मिश्रमा के गरिएको छ भनी देखेको छु ।
Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:
17 तिमीहरूले मिश्रमा भोगेको थिचोमिचोबाट मुक्त गरी दूध र मह बग्ने देश अर्थात् कनानी, हित्ती, एमोरी, परिज्जी, हिव्वी र यबूसीहरूको देशमा लैजाने मैले प्रतिज्ञा गरेको छु” ।'
And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.
18 तिनीहरूले तेरो कुरा सुन्नेछन् । तँ र इस्राएलका धर्म-गुरुहरू मिश्रका राजाकहाँ गई त्यसलाई यसो भन्नू, 'हिब्रूहरूका परमप्रभुले हामीलाई भेट्नुभएको छ । अब हामी तिन दिनको यात्रा गरी उजाड-स्थानमा जाऔँ ताकि हाम्रा परमप्रभु परमेश्वरलाई हामीले बलिदान चढाउन सकौँ ।'
And they shall listen to your voice: and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall say to him, The LORD God of the Hebrews has met with us: and now let us go, we beseech you, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
19 तर राजा बाध्य नपारिएसम्म त्यसले तिमीहरूलाई जान दिनेछैन भनी मलाई थाहा छ ।
And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.
20 म मेरो हात फैलाई मैले मिश्रीहरूका बिचमा गर्ने सबै आश्चर्यकर्मले तिनीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछु । त्यसपछि त्यसले तिमीहरूलाई जान दिनेछ ।
And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the middle thereof: and after that he will let you go.
21 म यस जातिमाथि मिश्रहरूलाई निगाह गर्न लगाउनेछु ताकि तिमीहरू जाँदा रित्तो हात जान नपरोस् ।
And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when you go, you shall not go empty.
22 हरेक स्त्रीले आ-आफ्ना मिश्री छिमेकीहरू र तिनीहरूका घरहरूमा बस्ने कुनै पनि स्त्रीहरूबाट सुन र चाँदीका गरगहनाहरूसाथै लत्ता कपडाहरू माग्नेछ । तिमीहरूले ती आ-आफ्ना छोराछोरीहरूलाई लगाइदिनेछौ । यसरी तिमीहरूले मिश्रीहरूलाई लुट्नेछौ ।”
But every woman shall borrow of her neighbor, and of her that sojourns in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and you shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters; and you shall spoil the Egyptians.
