प्रस्थान 4
1 मोशाले जवाफ दिए, “तर तिनीहरूले विश्वास गरेनन् वा मेरो कुरा नसुनी 'परमप्रभु तिमीकहाँ देखा पर्नुभएको होइन' भनेमा के गर्ने नि?”
Responding, Moses said, “They will not believe me, and they will not listen to my voice, but they will say: ‘The Lord has not appeared to you.’”
2 परमप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तेरो हातमा के छ?” मोशाले भने, “लट्ठी ।”
Therefore, he said to him, “What is that you hold in your hand?” He answered, “A staff.”
3 परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “त्यसलाई भुइँमा फाल् ।” मोशाले त्यसलाई भुइँमा फाले र त्यो सर्प भयो । मोशा दौडेर भागे ।
And the Lord said, “Cast it down upon the ground.” He cast it down, and it was turned into a snake, so that Moses fled away.
4 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “तेरो हात पसारेर त्यसको पुच्छर समात् ।” त्यसैले तिनले आफ्नो हात पसारेर त्यस सर्पलाई समाते । त्यो फेरि तिनको हातमा लट्ठी भयो ।
And the Lord said, “Reach out your hand, and take hold of its tail.” He reached out his hand and took hold, and it was turned into a staff.
5 “तिनीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर अर्थात् अब्राहामका परमेश्वर, इसहाकका परमेश्वर र याकूबका परमेश्वर तँकहाँ देखा पर्नुभएको थियो भनी तिनीहरूले विश्वास गरून् भन्नाका लागि यो चिन्ह हुनेछ ।”
“So may they believe,” he said, “that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”
6 परमप्रभुले तिनलाई यसो पनि भन्नुभयो, “अब तेरो हात आफ्नो खास्टोभित्र राख् ।” त्यसैले मोशाले आफ्नो हात खास्टोभित्र राखे । तिनले बाहिर निकाल्दा तिनको हातमा हिउँजस्तै सेतो कुष्ठरोग लागेको थियो ।
And the Lord said again, “Put your hand into your bosom.” And when he had put it into his bosom, he brought it out leprous, resembling snow.
7 परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “फेरि तेरो हात खास्टोभित्र राख् ।” त्यसैले मोशाले आफ्नो हात खास्टोभित्र राखे र तिनले हात बाहिर निकाल्दा त्यो तिनको शरीरको अरू मासुजस्तै स्वस्थ भएको थियो ।
“Put your hand back,” he said, “into your bosom.” He put it back and brought it out again, and it was like the rest of his flesh.
8 परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “तिनीहरूले मेरो शक्तिको पहिलो चिन्हलाई ध्यान दिएनन् वा विश्वास गरेनन् भने तिनीहरूले दोस्रो चिन्हलाई विश्वास गर्नेछन् ।
“If they will not believe you,” he said, “and will not listen to the sermon of the first sign, then they will believe the word of the subsequent sign.
9 तिनीहरूले मेरो शक्तिका यी दुईवटै चिन्हलाई पनि विश्वास गरेनन् वा तेरो कुरा सुनेनन् भने नदीबाट थोरै पानी लिएर जा र त्यसलाई सुक्खा भूमिमा खन्या । तैँले लिएर जाने पानी सुक्खा भूमिमा रगत बन्नेछ ।”
But if they will not believe even these two signs, and they will not listen to your voice: take from the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land, and whatever you will have drawn from the river will be turned into blood.”
10 तब मोशाले परमप्रभुलाई भने, “हे प्रभु, म बोल्नमा सिपालु छैनँ, न पहिले थिएँ न त तपाईं आफ्ना दाससित बोल्नुभएपछि नै । म बोल्न र जिब्रो चलाउनमा सुस्त छु ।”
Moses said: “I beg you, O Lord, I was not eloquent yesterday or the day before. And from the time that you have spoken to your servant, I have a greater impediment and slowness of tongue.”
11 परमप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “मानिसको मुख बनाउने को हो? मानिसलाई गुँगो वा बैरो वा दृष्टिविहीन बनाउने को हो? के म परमप्रभुले नै होइनँ र?
The Lord said to him: “Who made the mouth of man? And who has formed the mute and the deaf, the seeing and the blind? Was it not I?
12 त्यसैले अब जा र म तेरो मुखमा भएर के भन्ने भनी तँलाई सिकाउनेछु ।”
Go on, therefore, and I will be in your mouth. And I will teach you what you shall say.”
13 तर मोशाले भने, “हे प्रभु, तपाईंले इच्छा गर्नुभएको अरू कसैलाई पठाउनुहोस् ।”
But he said, “I beg you, O Lord, send whomever else you would send.”
14 तब परमप्रभु मोशासित रिसाउनुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “तेरो दाजु लेवी हारून छैन र? त्यसले राम्ररी बोल्न सक्छ भनी मलाई थाहा छ । यसको अतिरिक्त, त्यो तँलाई भेट्न आउँदै छ र त्यसले तँलाई देख्दा त्यो ह्रदयमा खुसी हुनेछ ।
The Lord, being angry at Moses, said: “Aaron the Levite is your brother. I know that he is eloquent. Behold, he is going out to meet you, and seeing you, he will rejoice in heart.
15 तँ त्योसित कुरा गर् र त्यसले भन्नुपर्ने कुरा त्यसलाई बताइदे । म तिमीहरू दुवैसित हुनेछु र के गर्ने भनी म तिमीहरू दुवैलाई देखाउनेछु ।
Speak to him, and put my words in his mouth. And I will be in your mouth and in his mouth, and I will reveal to you what you must do.
16 त्यसले तेरो लागि मानिसहरूसित बोल्नेछ । त्यो तेरो प्रवक्ता हुनेछ र तँ त्यसको लागि मजस्तै परमेश्वर हुनेछस् ।
He will speak for you to the people, and he will be your mouth. But you will be with him in those things that pertain to God.
17 तैँले तेरो हातमा यो लट्ठी लैजा । यसले तैँले चिन्हहरू गर्नेछस् ।”
Also, take this staff into your hand; with it you will accomplish the signs.”
18 त्यसैले मोशा आफ्ना ससुरा यित्रोकहाँ गई तिनलाई भने, “मलाई मिश्रमा भएका मेरा आफन्तहरू जीवितै छन् कि छैनन् भनी हेर्न फर्केर जान दिनुहोस् ।” यित्रोले मोशालाई भने, “शान्तिसित जाऊ ।”
Moses went forth, and he returned to Jethro, his father in law, and he said to him, “I shall go and return to my brothers in Egypt, so that I may see if they are still alive.” And Jethro said to him, “Go in peace.”
19 परमप्रभुले मिद्यानमा मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “फर्केर मिश्रमा जा किनकि तेरो जीवन लिन खोज्नेहरू सबै मरिसकेका छन् ।”
And so the Lord said to Moses in Midian: “Go, and return to Egypt. For all those who sought your life have died.”
20 आफ्नी पत्नी र आफ्ना छोराहरू गधामा चढाएर मोशा बाटो लागे । तिनी मिश्र देशमा फर्के र तिनले परमेश्वरको लट्ठी आफूसँगै लगेका थिए ।
Therefore, Moses took his wife and his sons, and he placed them upon a donkey, and he returned into Egypt, carrying the staff of God in his hand.
21 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “तँ मिश्रमा फर्केर जाँदा मैले तेरो शक्तिमा राखिदिएका सबै अचम्मका कामहरू तैँले फारोको सामु गरेर देखा । तर म त्यसको ह्रदय कठोर पार्नेछु र त्यसले मानिसहरूलाई जान दिनेछैन ।
And the Lord said to him, as he was returning to Egypt: “See that you accomplish, in the sight of Pharaoh, all the wonders that I have placed in your hand. I will harden his heart, and he will not release the people.
22 तैँले फारोलाई यसो भन्नू, “परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'इस्राएल मेरो जेठो छोरो हो,
And you shall say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord: Israel is my firstborn son.
23 र म तँलाई भन्दछु, 'मेरो छोरोलाई जान दे ताकि त्यसले मेरो आराधना गरोस् ।' तर तैँले त्यसलाई जान दिन इन्कार गरेकोले निश्चय नै म तेरो जेठो छोरोलाई मार्नेछु' ।”
I have said to you: Release my son, so that he may serve me. And you were not willing to release him. Behold, I will put to death your firstborn son.’”
24 अब बाटोमा बास बस्ने ठाउँमा तिनीहरू रोकिँदा परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भेटी तिनलाई मार्न खोज्नुभयो ।
And while he was on the journey, at an inn, the Lord met him, and he was willing to kill him.
25 त्यसपछि सिप्पोराले चकमके कर्द लिई आफ्नो छोरोको खलडी काटेर त्यसलाई मोशाको खुट्टामा छुवाइन् ।
For this reason, Zipporah took a very sharp stone, and she circumcised the foreskin of her son, and she touched his feet, and she said, “You are a bloody spouse to me.”
26 तब उनले भनिन्, “निश्चय नै तपाईं रगतद्वारा मेरो दुलहा हुनुहुन्छ ।” त्यसैले परमप्रभुले तिनलाई एक्लै छाडिदिनुभयो । यो खतनाको कारणले “तपाईं मेरो दुलहा हुनुहुन्छ” भनी उनले भनिन् ।
And he released him, after she had said, “You are a bloody spouse,” because of the circumcision.
27 परमप्रभुले हारूनलाई भन्नुभयो, “उजाड-स्थानमा मोशालाई भेट्न जा ।” हारून गए र तिनले मोशालाई परमेश्वरको पर्वतमा भेटी चुम्बन गरे ।
Then the Lord said to Aaron, “Go into the desert to meet Moses.” And he went directly to meet him on the mountain of God, and he kissed him.
28 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भनेर पठाउनुभएका सबै कुरा र देखाउनू भनी आज्ञा गर्नुभएका सबै चिन्हको बारेमा मोशाले हारूनलाई बताए ।
And Moses explained to Aaron all the words of the Lord, by which he had sent him, and the signs which he had commanded.
29 तब मोशा र हारून गएर इस्राएलीहरूका सबै धर्म-गुरुलाई भेला गराए ।
And they arrived at the same time, and they gathered together all the elders of the sons of Israel.
30 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभएका सबै कुरा हारूनले बताए । तिनले परमप्रभुको शक्तिका चिन्हहरू पनि मानिसहरूका सामु गरेर देखाइदिए ।
And Aaron spoke all the words which the Lord had said to Moses. And he accomplished the signs in the sight of the people,
31 मानिसहरूले विश्वास गरे । परमप्रभुले इस्राएलीहरूको वास्ता गर्नुहुन्छ र उहाँले तिनीहरूमाथि गरिएको थिचोमिचो देख्नुभएको छ भनी जब तिनीहरूले सुने, तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्ना शिर झुकाई उहाँको आराधना गरे ।
and the people believed. And they heard that the Lord had visited the sons of Israel, and that he had looked with favor upon their affliction. And falling prostrate, they worshiped.
