प्रस्थान 8

1 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “फारोकहाँ गएर त्यसलाई भन्, 'परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः मेरो आराधना गर्नलाई मेरा मानिसहरूलाई जान दे ।

And the Lord said to Moses, Go in to Pharao, and you shall say to him, These things says the Lord: send forth my people, that they may serve me.

2 तैँले तिनीहरूलाई जान दिन इन्कार गरिस् भने म तेरो सारा देशलाई भ्यागुताले सताउनेछु ।

And if you will not send them forth, behold, I afflict all your borders with frogs:

3 नदी भ्यागुताहरूले भरिनेछ । तिनीहरू तेरो घर, सुत्‍ने कोठा र तेरो ओछ्यानमा आउनेछन् । तिनीहरू तेरा मानिसहरू, तेरा चुलाहरू र पिठो मुछ्ने आह्रीहरूमा आउनेछन् ।

and the river shall teem with frogs, and they shall go up and enter into your houses, and into your bed-chambers, and upon your beds, and upon the houses of your servants, and of your people and on your dough, and on your ovens.

4 भ्यागुताहरूले तँलाई, तेरा मानिसहरू र तेरा सबै अधिकारीलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछन्' ।”

And upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, shall the frogs come up.

5 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “हारूनलाई भन्, 'तपाईंको लट्ठी लिएर नदीहरू, खोलाहरू र तालहरूमा तपाईंको हात पसारी मिश्र देशमा भ्यागुताहरू ल्याउनुहोस्' ।”

And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron your brother, Stretch forth with the hand your rod over the rivers, and over the canals, and over the pools, and bring up the frogs.

6 हारूनले मिश्रका पानीमा आफ्नो हात पसारे र भ्यागुताहरू आएर मिश्र देशलाई ढाके ।

And Aaron stretched forth his hand over the waters of Egypt, and brought up the frogs: and the frog was brought up, and covered the land of Egypt.

7 तर जादुगरहरूले पनि त्यसै गरे । तिनीहरूले पनि मिश्र देशभरि भ्यागुताहरू ल्याए ।

And the charmers of the Egyptians also did likewise with their sorceries, and brought up the frogs on the land of Egypt.

8 तब फारोले मोशा र हारूनलाई बोलाउन पठाए र भने, “म र मेरा मानिसहरूबाट भ्यागुताहरू लैजाऊन् भनी परमप्रभुलाई बिन्ती चढाओ । तब म उहाँलाई बलिदान चढाउन तेरा मानिसहरूलाई जान दिनेछु ।”

And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said, Pray for me to the Lord, and let him take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will send them away, and they shall sacrifice to the Lord.

9 मोशाले फारोलाई भने, “तपाईं, तपाईंका अधिकारीहरू र तपाईंका मानिसहरूका लागि मैले कहिले बिन्ती गर्ने भनी तपाईंले मलाई आज्ञा दिन सक्‍नुहुन्छ ताकि तपाईं र तपाईंका घरहरूबाट भ्यागुताहरूलाई हटाई ती नदीमा मात्र हुन सकून् ।”

And Moses said to Pharao, Appoint me [a time] when I shall pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to cause the frogs to disappear from you, and from your people, and from your houses, only in the river shall they be left behind.

10 फारोले भने, “भोलि ।” मोशाले भने, “तपाईंले भन्‍नुभएझैँ होस् अनि परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरजस्तै कोही रहेनछ भनी तपाईंले थाहा पाउनुभएको होस् ।

And he said, On the morrow: he said therefore, As you has said; that you may know, that there is no other [God] but the Lord.

11 भ्यागुताहरू तपाईं, तपाईंका घरहरू, तपाईंका अधिकारीहरू र तपाईंका मानिसहरूबाट जानेछन् । ती नदीमा मात्र बस्‍नेछन् ।”

And the frogs shall be removed away from you, and from your houses and from the villages, and from your servants, and from your people, only in the river they shall be left.

12 मोशा र हारून फारोकहाँबाट गए । तब परमप्रभुले फारोकहाँ ल्याउनुभएका भ्यागुताहरूको बारेमा मोशाले उहाँलाई पुकारा गरे ।

And Moses and Aaron went forth from Pharao, and Moses cried to the Lord concerning the restriction of the frogs, as Pharao appointed him.

13 मोशाले बिन्ती गरेजस्तै परमप्रभुले गर्नुभयो अर्थात् भ्यागुताहरू घरहरू, चोकहरू र खेतहरूमा मरे ।

And the Lord did as Moses said, and the frogs died out of the houses, and out of the villages, and out of the fields.

14 मानिसहरूले तिनलाई जम्मा गरी थुप्रो लगाए र ती गन्हाउन लागे ।

And they gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.

15 तर शान्त भएको देखेपछि परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभएझैँ फारोले आफ्नो ह्रदय कठोर पारे अनि मोशा र हारूनको कुरा सुनेनन् ।

And when Pharao saw that there was relief, his heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the Lord spoke.

16 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “हारूनलाई भन्, 'तपाईंको लट्ठी पसारेर जमिनको धुलोमा प्रहार गर्नुहोस् ताकि यो मिश्र देशभरि भुसुना बनोस्' ।”

And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch forth your rod with your hand and strike the dust of the earth; and there shall be lice both upon man, and upon quadrupeds, and in all the land of Egypt.

17 तिनीहरूले त्यसै गरे । हारूनले लट्ठी लिएर आफ्नो हात पसारे । तिनले जमिनको धुलोमा प्रहार गरे । भुसुनाहरू मानिस र पशुहरूमा आए । सारा मिश्र देशभरि जमिनको धुलो भुसुनै-भुसुना भए ।

So Aaron stretched out his rod with his hand, and struck the dust of the earth; and the lice were on men and on quadrupeds, and in all the dust of the earth there were lice.

18 जादुगरहरूले पनि तिनीहरूका जादुद्वारा भुसुनाहरू ल्याउन खोजे तर तिनीहरूले सकेनन् । मानिस र पशुहरूमा भुसुनाहरू थिए ।

And the charmers also did so with their sorceries, to bring forth the louse, and they could not. And the lice were both on the men and on the quadrupeds.

19 तब जादुगरहरूले फारोलाई भने, “यसमा परमेश्‍वरको हात छ ।” तर फारोको ह्रदय कठोर भयो र तिनले तिनीहरूका कुरा सुनेनन् । परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभएझैँ भयो ।

So the charmers said to Pharao, This is the finger of God. But the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he listened not to them, as the Lord said.

20 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “बिहान सबेरै उठेर फारो नदीतिर जान लाग्दा त्यसको अगि खडा भएर भन्, 'परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः मलाई आराधना चढाउनलाई मेरा मानिसहरूलाई जान दे ।

And the Lord said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharao: and behold, he will go forth to the water, and you shall say to him, These things says the Lord: Send away my people, that they may serve me in the wilderness.

21 तैँले मेरा मानिसहरूलाई जान दिइनस् भने म तँ, तेरा अधिकारीहरू, तेरा मानिसहरू र तेरा घरहरूमा हुलका हुल झिँगाहरू पठाउनेछु । मिश्रीहरूका घरहरू मात्र नभएर तिनीहरू खडा हुने जमिन पनि झिँगाहरूले भरिनेछन् ।

And if you will not let my people go, behold, I send upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, and upon your houses, the dog-fly; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be filled with the dog-fly, even throughout the land upon which they are.

22 तर त्यस दिन म मेरा मानिसहरू बसिरहेका गोशेन प्रदेशलाई चाहिँ फरक तरिकाले व्यवहार गर्नेछु ताकि त्यहाँ झिँगाहरू नहोऊन् । यो देशमा म परमप्रभु हुँ भनी तैँले जानोस् भनी यसो हुनेछ ।

and I will distinguish marvellously in that day the land of Gesem, on which my people dwell, in which the dog-fly shall not be: that you may know that I am the Lord the God of all the earth.

23 मेरा मानिसहरू र तेरा मानिसहरूका बिचमा म भिन्‍नता ल्याउनेछु । भोलि मेरो शक्तिको यो चिन्ह हुनेछ' ।”

And I will put a difference between my people and your people, and on the morrow shall this be on the land. And the Lord did thus.

24 परमप्रभुले त्यसै गर्नुभयो । फारोका घरहरू र तिनका अधिकारीहरूका घरहरूमा हुलका हुल झिँगाहरू आए । मिश्र देशभरि झिँगाहारूले देशलाई सखाप पारे ।

And the dog-fly came in abundance into the houses of Pharao, and into the houses of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt; and the land was destroyed by the dog-fly.

25 फारोले मोशा र हारूनलाई बोलाउन पठाए र भने, “हाम्रो आफ्नै देशमा गएर तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरलाई बलिदान चढाउन जाओ ।”

And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, saying, Go and sacrifice to the Lord your God in the land.

26 मोशाले भने, “हामीलाई त्यसो गर्न ठिक हुँदैन किनकि हामीले परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरलाई चढाउने बलिदान मिश्रीहरूको भन्दा बेग्लै हुनेछ । हामीले मिश्रीहरूलाई घिनलाग्‍ने बलि तिनीहरूकै आँखाको सामुन्‍ने चढायौँ भने के तिनीहरूले हामीमाथि ढुङ्गा बर्साउँदैनन् र?

And Moses said, It can’t be so, for we shall sacrifice to the Lord our God the abominations of the Egyptians; for if we sacrifice the abominations of the Egyptians before them, we shall be stoned.

27 परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरले हामीलाई आज्ञा दिनुभएझैँ उहाँलाई बलिदान गर्न हामी तिन दिनको यात्रा गरी उजाड-स्थानमा जानैपर्छ ।”

We will go a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, as the Lord said to us.

28 फारोले भने, “परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरलाई उजाड-स्थानमा बलिदान चढाउन जान दिन म अनुमति दिनेछु । तिमीहरू धेरै टाढा भने जानुहुँदैन । मेरो लागि प्रार्थना चढाऊ ।”

And Pharao said, I [will] let you go, and do you sacrifice to your God in the wilderness, but do not go very far away: pray then for me to the Lord.

29 मोशाले भने, “म यहाँबाट जानेबित्तिकै हजुर फारो र हजुरका अधिकारीहरूसाथै मानिसहरूबाट झिँगाका हुलहरू भोलि नै हटून् भनी बिन्ती गर्नेछु । तर परमप्रभुलाई बलिदान चढाउन जान नदिई हाम्रा मानिसहरूलाई तपाईंले छल गर्नुहुँदैन ।

And Moses said, I then will go forth from you and pray to God, and the dog-fly shall depart both from your servants, and from your people to-morrow. Do not you, Pharao, deceive again, so as not to send the people away to do sacrifice to the Lord.

30 मोशा फारोकहाँबाट गए र परमप्रभुलाई बिन्ती चढाए ।

And Moses went out from Pharao, and prayed to God.

31 मोशाले अनुरोध गरेअनुसार परमप्रभुले गर्नुभयो, र उहाँले फारो, तिनका अधिकारीहरू र तिनका मानिसहरूबाट झिँगाका हुलहरूलाई हटाइदिनुभयो । एउटै पनि बाँकी रहेन ।

And the Lord did as Moses said, and removed the dog-fly from Pharao, and from his servants, and from his people, and there was not one left.

32 तर फारोले यस पटक पनि आफ्नो ह्रदय कठोर पारे र तिनले मानिसहरूलाई जान दिएनन् ।

And Pharao hardened his heart, even on this occasion, and he would not send the people away.
