प्रस्थान 8

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

And Jehovah said to Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah: Let my people go, that they may serve me.

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

And if thou refuse to let [them] go, behold, I will smite all thy 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 swarm with frogs, and they shall go up and come into thy house, and into thy bedroom, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy bondmen, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneading-troughs.

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

And the frogs shall come up both upon thee and upon thy people, and upon all thy bondmen.

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

And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy hand with thy staff over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.

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

And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.

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

And the scribes did so with their sorceries, and brought up 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 Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat Jehovah, that he may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to Jehovah.

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 Pharaoh, Glory over me, for what time shall I intreat for thee, and for thy bondmen, and for thy people, to cut off the frogs from thee and from thy houses; [so that] they shall remain in the river only?

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

And he said, For to-morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word; that thou mayest know that there is none like Jehovah our God.

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

And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy bondmen, and from thy people: they shall remain in the river only.

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

And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses cried to Jehovah because of the frogs that he had brought against Pharaoh.

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

And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.

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

And they gathered them 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 Pharaoh saw that there was respite; and he hardened his heart, and hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had said.

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

And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy staff, and smite the dust of the earth, and it shall become gnats throughout 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 ।

And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and smote the dust of the earth, and there arose gnats on man and on beast: all the dust of the land became gnats throughout the land of Egypt.

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

And the scribes did so with their sorceries, to bring forth gnats; but they could not. And the gnats were on man and on beast.

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

Then the scribes said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God! But Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, and he hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had 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 Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh — behold, he will go out to the water — and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

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 ।

For, if thou do not let my people go, behold, I will send dog-flies upon thee, and upon thy bondmen, and upon thy people, and into thy houses; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of dog-flies, and also the ground on 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 in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no dog-flies shall be there; that thou mayest know that I Jehovah am in the midst of the land.

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

And I will put a separation between my people and thy people; to-morrow shall this sign be.

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

And Jehovah did so; and there came dog-flies in a multitude into the house of Pharaoh, and [into] the houses of his bondmen; and throughout the land of Egypt, the land was corrupted by the dog-flies.

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

And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and said, Go, sacrifice to 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 is not proper to do so; for we should sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Jehovah our God: lo, if we sacrificed the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, would they not stone us?

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

We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Jehovah our God, as he shall command 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 Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to Jehovah your God in the wilderness; only, go not very far away: intreat for me!

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, Behold, I go out from thee, and will intreat Jehovah; and the dog-flies will depart from Pharaoh, from his bondmen, and from his people, to-morrow; only let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to Jehovah.

30 मोशा फारोकहाँबाट गए र परमप्रभुलाई बिन्ती चढाए ।

And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated Jehovah.

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

And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the dog-flies from Pharaoh, from his bondmen, and from his people; there remained not one.

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

And Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and would not let the people go.
