प्रस्थान 7
1 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “हेर्, मैले तँलाई फारोको निम्ति ईश्वरजस्तै बनाएको छु । तेरो दाजु हारून तेरो अगमवक्ता हुनेछ ।
Then said Yahweh unto Moses—See! I have appointed thee to be God unto 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 which I may command thee, and, Aaron thy brother, shall speak unto Pharaoh, and he shall let the sons of Israel go out of his land.
3 तर म फारोको ह्रदय कठोर पार्नेछु, र मिश्र देशमा मेरो शक्तिमा धेरै चिन्हहरू, अचम्मका कामहरू देखाउनेछु ।
But, I, will suffer Pharaoh to harden his heart, —so will I 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 ।
And Pharaoh will not hearken unto you, so will I lay my hand on Egypt, —and bring forth my hosts—my people the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, with 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 Yahweh, when I have stretched forth my hand over Egypt, —and brought forth the sons of Israel out of their midst.
6 परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ मोशा र हारूनले गरे ।
And Moses and Aaron did [so], —as Yahweh commanded them, so, did they.
7 फारोसित कुरा गर्दा मोशा असी वर्षका थिए भने हारून त्रियासी वर्षका थिए ।
Now Moses, was eighty years old, and, Aaron, eighty-three years old, —when they spake unto Pharaoh.
8 परमप्रभुले मोशा र हारूनलाई भन्नुभयो,
And Yahweh spake 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, Shew for yourselves a wonder, then shalt thou say unto Aaron, Take thy staff, and cast it down before Pharaoh let it become a sea-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 ।
So Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and did so as Yahweh had commanded, —and Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh and before his servants and it became a sea-serpent,
11 तब फारोले आफ्ना बुद्धिमानी मानिस र टुनामुना गर्नेहरूलाई डाके । तिनीहरूका जादुद्वारा तिनीहरूले पनि उही कुरो गरे ।
Then called Pharaoh also for the wise men and for the magicians, —and they too, the sacred scribes of Egypt with their secret arts, did in like manner;
12 हरेक मानिसले आ-आफ्नो लट्ठी फ्याँके र ती लट्ठीहरू सर्प बने । तर हारूनको लट्ठीले तिनीहरूका सर्पहरूलाई निलिदियो ।
yea they cast down each man his staff, and they became sea-serpents, —but Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staves.
13 फारोको ह्रदय कठोर पारियो, र परमप्रभुले पहिले भन्नुभएझैँ तिनले उनीहरूका कुरा सुनेनन् ।
Then waxed bold the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them, —as spake Yahweh.
14 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “फारोको ह्रदय कठोर छ, त्यसले मानिसहरूलाई जान दिन इन्कार गर्छ ।
Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Dull, is the heart of Pharaoh, —he hath refused 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 is coming out to the waters, therefore shalt thou station thyself to meet him on the bank of the river, —and the staff which was turned into 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 ।'
Then shalt thou say unto him—Yahweh God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee saying, —Let my people go, that they may serve me in the desert, —And lo! thou hast not hearkened hitherto.
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 Yahweh, Hereby, shalt thou know that, I, am Yahweh, —Lo! I, am smiting with the staff that is in my hand upon the waters that 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 be loathsome, —and the Egyptians, shall disdain, to drink water out 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 Yahweh said unto Moses, —Say unto Aaron—Take thy staff, and stretch forth thy hand over the waters of Egypt, over their streams over their rivers, and over their pools and over all their collections of water—that they may become blood, —so shall there be blood in 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 Yahweh commanded, and he lifted high the staff, and smote the waters which were in the river, before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his servants, —and all the waters which 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 became loathsome, so that the Egyptians could not drink water out of the river, —thus came it to pass that blood was in 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 sacred scribes of Egypt did in like manner with their secret arts, —so the heart of Pharaoh waxed bold and he hearkened not unto them, as spake Yahweh.
23 तब फारो फर्केर आफ्नो घर गए । तिनले यसमा ध्यान पनि दिएनन् ।
Then Pharaoh, turned away, and entered into his house—neither applied he his heart, even to this.
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 Yahweh had smitten the river.
