प्रस्थान 5
1 यी कुराहरूपछि मोशा र हारून फारोकहाँ गएर भने, “इस्राएलका परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'उजाड-स्थानमा चाड मनाउनलाई मेरा मानिसहरूलाई जान दे' ।”
And after this went in Moses and Aaron to Pharao, and they said to him, These things says the Lord God of Israel, Send my people away, that they may keep a feast to me in the wilderness.
2 फारोले भने, “परमप्रभु को हुनुहुन्छ? उहाँको कुरा सुनेर मैले इस्राएललाई किन जान दिने? म परमप्रभुलाई चिन्दिनँ, र म इस्राएललाई जान दिन्नँ ।”
And Pharao said, Who is he that I should hearken to his voice, so that I should send away the children of Israel? I do not know the Lord, and I will not let Israel go.
3 तिनीहरूले भने, “हिब्रूहरूका परमेश्वरले हामीलाई भेट्नुभएको छ । तिन दिनको यात्रा गरी उजाड-स्थानमा गई परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरको निम्ति बलिदान चढाउन दिनुहोस् ताकि उहाँले हामीलाई विपत्ति वा तरवारले नाश नगर्नुभएको होस् ।”
And they say to him, The God of the Hebrews has called us to him: we will go therefore a three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God, lest at any time death or slaughter happen to us.
4 तर मिश्रका राजाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “ए मोशा र हारून हो, तिमीहरू मानिसहरूका काममा किन अवरोध गर्छौ? तिमीहरूका काममा जाओ ।”
And the king of Egypt said to them, Why do ye, Moses and Aaron, turn the people from their works? depart each of you to your works.
5 तिनले यसो पनि भने, “अहिले हाम्रो देशमा धेरै मानिस छन्, र तिमीहरू तिनीहरूलाई काम गर्नबाट रोक्दै छौ ।”
And Pharao said, Behold now, the people is very numerous; let us not then give them rest from their work.
6 त्यही दिन फारोले मानिसका नाइकेहरू र मजदुरहरूलाई यस्तो हुकुम दिए,
And Pharao gave orders to the task-masters of the people and the accountants, saying,
7 “पहिलेझैँ तिमीहरूले मानिसहरूलाई इँट बनाउन पराल नदेओ । तिनीहरू आफै गएर तिनीहरूका निम्ति पराल जम्मा गरून् ।
Ye shall no longer give straw to the people for brick-making as yesterday and the third day; but let them go themselves, and collect straw for themselves.
8 तरै पनि तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूबाट पहिले जत्तिकै इँटको सङ्ख्या माग्नू । त्योभन्दा कम स्वीकार नगर किनकि तिनीहरू अल्छे भएका छन् । त्यसैले तिनीहरू यसो भन्दै कराउँछन्, 'हाम्रा परमेश्वरकहाँ गएर बलिदान चढाउन हामीलाई अनुमति दिनुहोस् ।'
And thou shalt impose on them daily the rate of brick-making which they perform: thou shalt not abate anything, for they are idle; therefore have they cried, saying, Let us arise and do sacrifice to our God.
9 यी मानिसहरूलाई कामको बोझ बढाइदेओ ताकि तिनीहरू यसमा लागिराखेर छली वचनहरूतर्फ ध्यान नदिऊन् ।”
Let the works of these men be made grievous, and let them care for these things, and not care for vain words.
10 त्यसैले मानिसका नाइकेहरू र मजदुरहरू बाहिर गई तिनीहरूले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “फारो यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'अबदेखि उसो म तिमीहरूलाई पराल दिन्नँ ।
And the taskmasters and the accountants hastened them, and they spoke to the people, saying, thus says Pharao, I [will] give you straw no longer.
11 जहाँ-जहाँ पराल पाइन्छ तिमीहरू आफै गएर ल्याओ, तर तिमीहरूको कामको बोझ भने घटाइनेछैन' ।”
Go ye, yourselves, get for yourselves straw whencesoever ye can find it, for nothing is diminished from your rate.
12 त्यसैले मानिसहरू परालका टुक्राटाक्री बटुल्न मिश्रभरि छरिए ।
So the people were dispersed in all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for straw.
13 नाइकेहरूले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भनिरहे, “तिमीहरूलाई पराल दिँदा जस्तै गरी तिमीहरूको काम सक ।”
and the taskmasters hastened them, saying, Fulfil your regular daily tasks, even as when straw was given you.
14 फारोका नाइकेहरूले इस्राएली नाइकेहरूलाई पिटे । यी तिनै मानिसहरू थिए जसलाई कामदारहरूको रेखदेख गर्न राखिएको थियो । नाइकेहरूले यसो भनेर सोधिरहे, “तिमीहरूले विगतमा गरेझैँ हिजोआज किन चाहेजति इँटहरू बनाइरहेका छैनौ?”
And the accountants of the race of the children of Israel, who were set over them by the masters of Pharao, were scourged, [[and questioned, ] men] saying, Why have ye not fulfilled your rates of brick-work as yesterday and the third day, to-day also?
15 त्यसैले इस्राएली नाइकेहरू फारोकहाँ आएर बिन्ती गरे, “तपाईंले हजुरका दासहरूलाई किन यस्तो व्यवहार गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ?
And the accountants of the children of Israel went in and cried to Pharao, saying, Why dost thou act thus to thy servants?
16 हजुरका दासहरूलाई पराल नदिएको भए तापनि तिनीहरू हामीलाई यसो भन्दै छन्, 'इँटहरू बनाओ ।' अब हामी हजुरका दासहरूलाई पिटिन पनि थालिएको छ । तर यो त हजुरका आफ्नै मानिसहरूको दोष हो ।”
Straw is not given to thy servants, and they tell us to make brick; and behold thy servants have been scourged: thou wilt therefore injure thy people.
17 तर फारोले भने, “तिमीहरू अल्छे छौ । तिमीहरू अल्छे छौ । तिमीहरू भन्छौ, 'परमप्रभुलाई बलिदान चढाउन हामीलाई जान अनुमति दिनुहोस् ।'
And he said to them, Ye are idle, ye are idlers: therefore ye say, Let us go [and] do sacrifice to our God.
18 त्यसैले काममा फर्केर जाओ । तिमीहरूलाई अब उसो पराल दिइनेछैन, तरै पनि तिमीहरूले उही सङ्ख्यामा इँटहरू बनाउनुपर्छ ।”
Now then go and work, for straw shall not be given to you, yet ye shall return the rate of bricks.
19 “तिमीहरूले दैनिक उत्पादन गर्ने इँटहरूको सङ्ख्या कम हुनुहुँदैन” भनी इस्राएली नाइकेहरूलाई बताइँदा तिनीहरू कष्टमा भएको तिनीहरूले देखे ।
And the accountants of the children of Israel saw themselves in an evil plight, [men] saying, Ye shall not fail to deliver the daily rate of the brick-making.
20 तिनीहरूले फारोकहाँबाट फर्केपछि मोशा र हारूनलाई भेटे जो दरबारबाहिर उभिरहेका थिए ।
And they met Moses and Aaron coming forth to meet them, as they came forth from Pharao.
21 तिनीहरूले मोशा र हारूनलाई भने, “परमप्रभुले तपाईंहरूलाई हेरी दण्ड दिनुभएको होस् किनकि तपाईंहरूले हामीलाई फारो र उहाँका दासहरूको दृष्टिमा तिरस्कृत तुल्याउनुभएको छ । हामीलाई मार्न तपाईंहरूले तिनीहरूका हातमा तरवार थमाइदिनुभएको छ ।”
And they said to them, The Lord look upon you and judge you, for ye have made our savour abominable before Pharao, and before his servants, to put a sword into his hands to slay us.
22 मोशा परमप्रभुकहाँ गई भने, “हे प्रभु, तपाईंले किन यो जातिमा कष्ट ल्याउनुभएको? तपाईंले पहिले मलाई किन दरबारमा पठाउनुभयो?
And Moses turned to the Lord, and said, I pray, Lord, why hast thou afflicted this people? and wherefore hast thou sent me?
23 तपाईंको नाउँमा म फारोसित बोल्न आएदेखि तिनले यस जातिलाई कष्ट ल्याएका छन्, र तपाईंले अझै पनि आफ्नो जातिलाई मुक्त गर्नुभएको छैन ।”
For from the time that I went to Pharao to speak in thy name, he has afflicted this people, and thou hast not delivered thy people.
