प्रस्थान 8

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

The LORD spoke to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what the LORD says, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.

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

If you refuse to let them go, behold, I will plague 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 ।

The river will swarm with frogs, which will go up and come into your house, and into your bedroom, and on your bed, and into the house of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading troughs.

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

The frogs shall come up both on you, and on your people, and on all your servants.”’”

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

The LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your rod over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.’”

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

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 ।

The magicians did the same thing with their enchantments, 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 ।”

Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, “Entreat the LORD, that he take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may 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 ।”

Moses said to Pharaoh, “I give you the honour of setting the time that I should pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, and 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 ।

Pharaoh said, “Tomorrow.” Moses said, “Let it be according to your word, that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.

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

The frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river only.”

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

Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to the LORD concerning the frogs which he had brought on Pharaoh.

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

The LORD 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 ।

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 ।

But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart, and didn’t listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.

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

The LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout 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 ।

They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were lice on man, and on animal; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

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

The magicians tried with their enchantments to produce lice, but they couldn’t. There were lice on man, and on animal.

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

Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is God’s finger;” but Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.

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 ।

The LORD said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; behold, he comes out to the water; and tell him, ‘This is what the LORD says, “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 ।

Else, if you will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you, and on your servants, and on your people, and into your houses. The houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground they are on.

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 ।

I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there, to the end you may know that I am the LORD on the earth.

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

I will put a division between my people and your people. This sign shall happen by tomorrow.”’”

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

The LORD did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants’ houses. In all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of flies.

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

Pharaoh called for Moses and for 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?

Moses said, “It isn’t appropriate to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God. Behold, if we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, won’t they 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 the LORD 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 ।”

Pharaoh said, “I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness, only you shall not go very far away. Pray 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 ।

Moses said, “Behold, I am going out from you. I will pray to the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow; only don’t let Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.”

30 मोशा फारोकहाँबाट गए र परमप्रभुलाई बिन्ती चढाए ।

Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to the LORD.

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

The LORD did according to the word of Moses, and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. There remained not one.

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

Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he didn’t let the people go.
