प्रस्थान 7
1 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “हेर्, मैले तँलाई फारोको निम्ति ईश्वरजस्तै बनाएको छु । तेरो दाजु हारून तेरो अगमवक्ता हुनेछ ।
And the LORD said unto Moses: 'See, I have set thee in God's stead to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
2 मैले तँलाई आज्ञा गरेको हरेक कुरो तैँले भन्नू । फारोको देशबाट इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई जान दिइयोस् भन्नाका लागि तेरो दाजु हारूनले फारोसित बोल्नेछ ।
Thou shalt speak all that I command thee; and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
3 तर म फारोको ह्रदय कठोर पार्नेछु, र मिश्र देशमा मेरो शक्तिमा धेरै चिन्हहरू, अचम्मका कामहरू देखाउनेछु ।
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 तर फारोले तेरो कुरा सुन्नेछैन । त्यसैले म मेरो हात मिश्रमाथि पसारी ठुला-ठुला दण्डका क्रियाकलापहरूद्वारा मेरा योद्धाहरू, मेरो जाति र इस्राएलका सन्तानहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट निकालेर ल्याउनेछु ।
But Pharaoh will not hearken unto you, and I will lay My hand upon Egypt, and bring forth My hosts, My people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt, by great judgments.
5 मैले मिश्रमाथि मेरो हात पसारेर इस्राएलीहरूलाई तिनीहरूका बिचबाट ल्याएपछि म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी मिश्रीहरूले जान्नेछन् ।”
And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth My hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.'
6 परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ मोशा र हारूनले गरे ।
And Moses and Aaron did so; as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
7 फारोसित कुरा गर्दा मोशा असी वर्षका थिए भने हारून त्रियासी वर्षका थिए ।
And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spoke unto Pharaoh.
8 परमप्रभुले मोशा र हारूनलाई भन्नुभयो,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
9 “फारोले तिमीहरूलाई 'आश्चर्यकर्म गर्' भन्दा तैँले हारूनलाई भन्नू, 'तपाईंको लट्ठी लिएर त्यसलाई फारोको सामुन्ने फ्याँक्नुहोस् अनि त्यो सर्प बन्नेछ' ।”
'When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying: Show a wonder for you; then thou shalt say unto Aaron: Take thy rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it become a serpent.'
10 तब मोशा र हारून फारोकहाँ गए, र परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ तिनीहरूले गरे । हारूनले फारो र तिनका अधिकारीहरूका सामु आफ्नो लट्ठी फ्याँके र त्यो सर्प भयो ।
And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so, as the LORD had commanded; and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 तब फारोले आफ्ना बुद्धिमानी मानिस र टुनामुना गर्नेहरूलाई डाके । तिनीहरूका जादुद्वारा तिनीहरूले पनि उही कुरो गरे ।
Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers; and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did in like manner with their secret arts.
12 हरेक मानिसले आ-आफ्नो लट्ठी फ्याँके र ती लट्ठीहरू सर्प बने । तर हारूनको लट्ठीले तिनीहरूका सर्पहरूलाई निलिदियो ।
For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents; but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
13 फारोको ह्रदय कठोर पारियो, र परमप्रभुले पहिले भन्नुभएझैँ तिनले उनीहरूका कुरा सुनेनन् ।
And Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken.
14 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “फारोको ह्रदय कठोर छ, त्यसले मानिसहरूलाई जान दिन इन्कार गर्छ ।
And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Pharaoh's heart is stubborn, he refuseth to let the people go.
15 फारो नदीतिर जाने बेलामा बिहानै त्यसकहाँ जा । त्यसलाई भेट्न नदीको तटमा उभेर बस् र सर्प बनेको लट्ठी तेरो हातमा लिएर जा ।
Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink to meet him; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thy hand.
16 त्यसलाई भन्, 'हिब्रूहरूका परमेश्वर परमप्रभुले मलाई तपाईंकहाँ यसो भनेर पठाउनुभएको छ, 'मेरो जातिलाई जान दे ताकि तिनीहरू उजाड-स्थानमा गएर मेरो आराधना गर्न सकून् । तैँले अहिलेसम्म मानेको छैनस् ।'
And thou shalt say unto him: The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, hath sent me unto thee, saying: Let My people go, that they may serve Me in the wilderness; and, behold, hitherto thou hast not hearkened;
17 परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'यसद्वारा म परमप्रभु हुँ भनी तैँले थाहा पाउनेछस् । मेरो हातमा भएको यस लट्ठीले म नील नदीको पानीलाई प्रहार गर्नेछु र नदी रगतमा परिणत हुनेछ ।
thus saith the LORD: In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD — behold, I will smite with the rod that is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18 नदीमा भएका माछाहरू मर्नेछन्, र नदी गन्हाउनेछ । मिश्रीहरूले नदीबाट पानी पिउन सक्नेछैनन् ।'
And the fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall become foul; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink water from the river.'
19 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “हारूनलाई भन्, 'तेरो लट्ठी लिई मिश्रका पानी, नदीहरू, खोलाहरू, तालहरू र पोखरीहरूमा तेरो हात पसार् र ती पानी रगत बन्नेछन् । यसो गर् ताकि मिश्र देशभरि जताततै रगत होस्, यहाँसम्म कि काठ र ढुङ्गाहरूका भाँडाकुँडाहरूमा पनि रगत होस्' ।”
And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Say unto Aaron: Take thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.'
20 परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ मोशा र हारूनले गरे । हारूनले लट्ठी उठाएर फारो र तिनका अधिकारीहरूका सामुन्ने त्यसलाई नदीमा पसारे । सबै पानी रगतमा परिणत भए ।
And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
21 नदीका माछाहरू मरे र पानी गन्हाउन थाल्यो । मिश्रीहरूले नदीको पानी पिउन सकेनन्, र मिश्र देशैभरि जताततै रगतै-रगत थियो ।
And the fish that were in the river died; and the river became foul, and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river; and the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 तर मिश्रका जादुगरहरूले पनि आफ्नो जादुद्वारा त्यसै गरे । त्यसकारण परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएझैँ फारोको ह्रदय कठोर भयो र तिनले मोशा र हारूनको कुरा सुनेनन् ।
And the magicians of Egypt did in like manner with their secret arts; and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken.
23 तब फारो फर्केर आफ्नो घर गए । तिनले यसमा ध्यान पनि दिएनन् ।
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he lay even this to heart.
24 सबै मिश्रीले पिउने पानीको लागि नदीको वरिपरि खने, तर तिनीहरूले नदीकै पानी भने पिउन सकेनन् ।
And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
25 परमप्रभुले नदीमा आक्रण गर्नुभएको सात दिन भएको थियो ।
And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river.
