प्रस्थान 7
1 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “हेर्, मैले तँलाई फारोको निम्ति ईश्वरजस्तै बनाएको छु । तेरो दाजु हारून तेरो अगमवक्ता हुनेछ ।
The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I have made you as 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 to 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 ।
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 listen to you, so I will lay my hand on Egypt, and bring out my armies, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgements.
5 मैले मिश्रमाथि मेरो हात पसारेर इस्राएलीहरूलाई तिनीहरूका बिचबाट ल्याएपछि म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी मिश्रीहरूले जान्नेछन् ।”
The Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD when I stretch out my hand on Egypt, and bring the children of Israel out from amongst them.”
6 परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ मोशा र हारूनले गरे ।
Moses and Aaron did so. As the LORD commanded them, so they did.
7 फारोसित कुरा गर्दा मोशा असी वर्षका थिए भने हारून त्रियासी वर्षका थिए ।
Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 परमप्रभुले मोशा र हारूनलाई भन्नुभयो,
The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
9 “फारोले तिमीहरूलाई 'आश्चर्यकर्म गर्' भन्दा तैँले हारूनलाई भन्नू, 'तपाईंको लट्ठी लिएर त्यसलाई फारोको सामुन्ने फ्याँक्नुहोस् अनि त्यो सर्प बन्नेछ' ।”
“When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Perform a miracle!’ then you shall tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, and it will 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 ।
Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as the LORD had commanded. 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. They also, the magicians of Egypt, did the same thing with their enchantments.
12 हरेक मानिसले आ-आफ्नो लट्ठी फ्याँके र ती लट्ठीहरू सर्प बने । तर हारूनको लट्ठीले तिनीहरूका सर्पहरूलाई निलिदियो ।
For they each cast down their rods, 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 ।
Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.
14 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “फारोको ह्रदय कठोर छ, त्यसले मानिसहरूलाई जान दिन इन्कार गर्छ ।
The LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn. 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 ।
Go to Pharaoh in the morning. Behold, he is going out to the water. You shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him. You shall take the rod which was turned to a serpent 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 ।'
You shall tell him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, “Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness. Behold, until now you haven’t listened.”
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 ।
The LORD says, “In this you shall know that I am the LORD. Behold: I will strike with the rod that is in my hand on 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 ।'
The fish that are in the river will die and the river will become foul. The Egyptians will 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' ।”
The LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and stretch out your 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. There will 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 ।
Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and struck 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 ।
The fish that were in the river died. The river became foul. The Egyptians couldn’t drink water from the river. 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 ।
The magicians of Egypt did the same thing with their enchantments. So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.
23 तब फारो फर्केर आफ्नो घर गए । तिनले यसमा ध्यान पनि दिएनन् ।
Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he didn’t even take this to heart.
24 सबै मिश्रीले पिउने पानीको लागि नदीको वरिपरि खने, तर तिनीहरूले नदीकै पानी भने पिउन सकेनन् ।
All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink; for they couldn’t drink the river water.
25 परमप्रभुले नदीमा आक्रण गर्नुभएको सात दिन भएको थियो ।
Seven days were fulfilled, after the LORD had struck the river.
