1 यी कुराहरूपछि मोशा र हारून फारोकहाँ गएर भने, “इस्राएलका परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'उजाड-स्थानमा चाड मनाउनलाई मेरा मानिसहरूलाई जान दे' ।”
And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold 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 Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I 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 said, The God of the Hebrews has met with us: let us go, we pray you, three days’ journey into the desert, and sacrifice to the LORD our God; lest he fall on us with pestilence, or with the sword.
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 you, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you to your burdens.
5 तिनले यसो पनि भने, “अहिले हाम्रो देशमा धेरै मानिस छन्, र तिमीहरू तिनीहरूलाई काम गर्नबाट रोक्दै छौ ।”
And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and you make them rest from their burdens.
6 त्यही दिन फारोले मानिसका नाइकेहरू र मजदुरहरूलाई यस्तो हुकुम दिए,
And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
7 “पहिलेझैँ तिमीहरूले मानिसहरूलाई इँट बनाउन पराल नदेओ । तिनीहरू आफै गएर तिनीहरूका निम्ति पराल जम्मा गरून् ।
You shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather 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 the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, you shall lay on them; you shall not diminish any thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
9 यी मानिसहरूलाई कामको बोझ बढाइदेओ ताकि तिनीहरू यसमा लागिराखेर छली वचनहरूतर्फ ध्यान नदिऊन् ।”
Let there more work be laid on the men, that they may labor therein; and let them not regard 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 of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, Thus says Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.
11 जहाँ-जहाँ पराल पाइन्छ तिमीहरू आफै गएर ल्याओ, तर तिमीहरूको कामको बोझ भने घटाइनेछैन' ।”
Go you, get you straw where you can find it: yet not any of your work shall be diminished.
12 त्यसैले मानिसहरू परालका टुक्राटाक्री बटुल्न मिश्रभरि छरिए ।
So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
13 नाइकेहरूले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भनिरहे, “तिमीहरूलाई पराल दिँदा जस्तै गरी तिमीहरूको काम सक ।”
And the taskmasters hurried them, saying, Fulfill your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.
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 officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Why have you not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as heretofore?
15 त्यसैले इस्राएली नाइकेहरू फारोकहाँ आएर बिन्ती गरे, “तपाईंले हजुरका दासहरूलाई किन यस्‍तो व्यवहार गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ?
Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, Why deal you thus with your 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 ।”
There is no straw given to your servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.
17 तर फारोले भने, “तिमीहरू अल्छे छौ । तिमीहरू अल्छे छौ । तिमीहरू भन्छौ, 'परमप्रभुलाई बलिदान चढाउन हामीलाई जान अनुमति दिनुहोस् ।'
But he said, You are idle, you are idle: therefore you say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the LORD.
18 त्यसैले काममा फर्केर जाओ । तिमीहरूलाई अब उसो पराल दिइनेछैन, तरै पनि तिमीहरूले उही सङ्ख्यामा इँटहरू बनाउनुपर्छ ।”
Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall you deliver the tale of bricks.
19 “तिमीहरूले दैनिक उत्पादन गर्ने इँटहरूको सङ्ख्या कम हुनुहुँदैन” भनी इस्राएली नाइकेहरूलाई बताइँदा तिनीहरू कष्‍टमा भएको तिनीहरूले देखे ।
And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case, after it was said, You shall not diminish any from your bricks of your daily task.
20 तिनीहरूले फारोकहाँबाट फर्केपछि मोशा र हारूनलाई भेटे जो दरबारबाहिर उभिरहेका थिए ।
And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:
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 on you, and judge; because you have made our smell to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.
22 मोशा परमप्रभुकहाँ गई भने, “हे प्रभु, तपाईंले किन यो जातिमा कष्‍ट ल्याउनुभएको? तपाईंले पहिले मलाई किन दरबारमा पठाउनुभयो?
And Moses returned to the LORD, and said, LORD, why have you so evil entreated this people? why is it that you have 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 since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has done evil to this people; neither have you delivered your people at all.
