< 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 made you a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
2 मैले तँलाई आज्ञा गरेको हरेक कुरो तैँले भन्नू । फारोको देशबाट इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई जान दिइयोस् भन्नाका लागि तेरो दाजु हारूनले फारोसित बोल्नेछ ।
You shall speak all that I command you: and Aaron your brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel 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 shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and 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 mine 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 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 miracle for you: then you shall say unto Aaron, Take your rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall 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 the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
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 he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
14 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “फारोको ह्रदय कठोर छ, त्यसले मानिसहरूलाई जान दिन इन्कार गर्छ ।
And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he refuses 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 you unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goes out unto the water; and you shall stand by the river's brink meeting him; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shall you take in your 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 you shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews has sent me unto you, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, until now you would not hear.
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 says the LORD, In this you shall know that I am the LORD: behold, I will strike with the rod that is in mine 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 is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink of the water of 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 spoke unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take your rod, and stretch out your hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may 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 stroke 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 was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood 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 so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the LORD had said.
23 तब फारो फर्केर आफ्नो घर गए । तिनले यसमा ध्यान पनि दिएनन् ।
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also.
24 सबै मिश्रीले पिउने पानीको लागि नदीको वरिपरि खने, तर तिनीहरूले नदीकै पानी भने पिउन सकेनन् ।
And all the Egyptians dug 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.
