प्रस्थान 5
1 यी कुराहरूपछि मोशा र हारून फारोकहाँ गएर भने, “इस्राएलका परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'उजाड-स्थानमा चाड मनाउनलाई मेरा मानिसहरूलाई जान दे' ।”
Afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said to Pharaoh, “This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘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 ।”
Pharaoh said, “Who is Yahweh, that I should listen to his voice to let Israel go? I don’t know Yahweh, and moreover 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 ।”
They said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Yahweh, 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 ।”
The king of Egypt said to them, “Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people from their work? Get back to your burdens!”
5 तिनले यसो पनि भने, “अहिले हाम्रो देशमा धेरै मानिस छन्, र तिमीहरू तिनीहरूलाई काम गर्नबाट रोक्दै छौ ।”
Pharaoh said, “Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens.”
6 त्यही दिन फारोले मानिसका नाइकेहरू र मजदुरहरूलाई यस्तो हुकुम दिए,
The same day Pharaoh commanded 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 longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. 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 ।'
You shall require from them the number of the bricks which they made before. You shall not diminish anything of it, for they are idle. Therefore they cry, saying, ‘Let’s go and sacrifice to our God.’
9 यी मानिसहरूलाई कामको बोझ बढाइदेओ ताकि तिनीहरू यसमा लागिराखेर छली वचनहरूतर्फ ध्यान नदिऊन् ।”
Let heavier work be laid on the men, that they may labor in it. Don’t let them pay any attention to lying words.”
10 त्यसैले मानिसका नाइकेहरू र मजदुरहरू बाहिर गई तिनीहरूले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “फारो यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'अबदेखि उसो म तिमीहरूलाई पराल दिन्नँ ।
The taskmasters of the people went out with their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I will not give you straw.
11 जहाँ-जहाँ पराल पाइन्छ तिमीहरू आफै गएर ल्याओ, तर तिमीहरूको कामको बोझ भने घटाइनेछैन' ।”
Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it, for nothing 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 for straw.
13 नाइकेहरूले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भनिरहे, “तिमीहरूलाई पराल दिँदा जस्तै गरी तिमीहरूको काम सक ।”
The taskmasters were urgent saying, “Fulfill your work quota daily, 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?”
The officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and were asked, “Why haven’t you fulfilled your quota both yesterday and today, in making brick as before?”
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 do you deal this way 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 ।”
No straw is given to your servants, and they tell 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 Pharaoh said, “You are idle! You are idle! Therefore you say, ‘Let’s go and sacrifice to Yahweh.’
18 त्यसैले काममा फर्केर जाओ । तिमीहरूलाई अब उसो पराल दिइनेछैन, तरै पनि तिमीहरूले उही सङ्ख्यामा इँटहरू बनाउनुपर्छ ।”
Go therefore now, and work; for no straw shall be given to you; yet you shall deliver the same number of bricks!”
19 “तिमीहरूले दैनिक उत्पादन गर्ने इँटहरूको सङ्ख्या कम हुनुहुँदैन” भनी इस्राएली नाइकेहरूलाई बताइँदा तिनीहरू कष्टमा भएको तिनीहरूले देखे ।
The officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in trouble when it was said, “You shall not diminish anything from your daily quota of bricks!”
20 तिनीहरूले फारोकहाँबाट फर्केपछि मोशा र हारूनलाई भेटे जो दरबारबाहिर उभिरहेका थिए ।
They met Moses and Aaron, who stood along the way, as they came out 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 ।”
They said to them, “May Yahweh look at you and judge, because you have made us a stench to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us!”
22 मोशा परमप्रभुकहाँ गई भने, “हे प्रभु, तपाईंले किन यो जातिमा कष्ट ल्याउनुभएको? तपाईंले पहिले मलाई किन दरबारमा पठाउनुभयो?
Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, “Lord, why have you brought trouble on 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 brought trouble on this people. You have not rescued your people at all!”
