प्रस्थान 9
1 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “फारोकहाँ गएर भन्, 'हिब्रूहरूका परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः मेरो आराधना गर्नलाई मेरो मानिसहरूलाई जान दे ।
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
2 तैँले तिनीहरूलाई जान दिन इन्कार गरिस् र तिनीहरूलाई अझै पनि रोकिस् भने
But if you continue to restrain them and refuse to let them go,
3 परमप्रभुको हात खेतहरू, घोडाहरू, गधाहरू, ऊँटहरू, गाईवस्तुहरू र भेडा-बाख्राहरूमाथि पर्नेछ र यसले डरलाग्दो रोग उत्पन्न गराउनेछ ।
then the hand of the LORD will bring a severe plague on your livestock in the field—on your horses, donkeys, camels, herds, and flocks.
4 परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका गाईवस्तु र मिश्रका गाईवस्तु छुट्ट्याउनेहुनेछ र इस्राएलीहरूको कुनै पनि गाईवस्तु मर्नेछैन ।
But the LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that no animal belonging to the Israelites will die.’”
5 परमप्रभुले समय निधो गरिसक्नुभएको छ । उहाँले भन्नुभएको छ, “भोलि यस देशमा म यो काम गर्नेछु ।”
The LORD set a time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD will do this in the land.”
6 परमप्रभुले अर्को दिन त्यही गर्नुभयो । मिश्रका सबै गाईवस्तु मरे, तर इस्राएलीहरूका पशुहरू भने जीवितै रहे, एउटै पनि मरेन ।
And the next day the LORD did just that. All the livestock of the Egyptians died, but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died.
7 फारोले अनुसन्धान गर्दा इस्राएलीहरूका एउटै पनि पशु नमेरोको पाए । तर तिनको ह्रदय हठी भयो, त्यसैले तिनले मानिसहरूलाई जान दिएनन् ।
Pharaoh sent officials and found that none of the livestock of the Israelites had died. But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the people go.
8 तब परमप्रभुले मोशा र हारूनलाई भन्नुभयो, “भट्टीबाट मुट्ठीभर खरानी लेओ । तँ मोशाले फारोले हेरिरहँदा त्यस खरानीलाई आकाशमा फ्याँक्नू ।
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Take handfuls of soot from the furnace; in the sight of Pharaoh, Moses is to toss it into the air.
9 ती मिश्र देशभरि मसिनो धुलो बन्नेछन् । तिनले मिश्र देशका सबै मानिस र पशुहरूमा फोका र खटिरा ल्याउनेछन् ।”
It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on man and beast throughout the land.”
10 त्यसैले मोशा र हारूनले भट्टीबाट खरानी लिएर फारोको सामुन्ने खडा भए । त्यसपछि मोशाले खरानीलाई हावामा फ्याँके । खरानीले मानिस र पशुहरूमा फोका र खटिरा ल्याए ।
So they took soot from the furnace and stood before Pharaoh. Moses tossed it into the air, and festering boils broke out on man and beast.
11 फोकाको कारणले जादुगरहरूले मोशाको विरोध गर्न सकेनन् । किनकि फोका सबै मिश्रीमाथि आइपरेको थियो ।
The magicians could not stand before Moses, because the boils had broken out on them and on all the Egyptians.
12 परमप्रभुले फारोको ह्रदय कठोर पारिदिनुभयो । त्यसैले फारोले मोशा र हारूनको कुरा सुनेनन् । फारोले मोशाको कुरा सुन्नेथिएन भनी परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएझैँ भयो ।
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said to Moses.
13 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “बिहान सबेरै उठेर फारोको सामुन्ने खडा हो र त्यसलाई भन्, 'हिब्रूहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः मेरो आराधना गर्न मेरा मानिसहरूलाई जान दे ।
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, stand before Pharaoh, and tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
14 किनकि यो पटक तँ, तेरा अधिकारीहरू र तेरा मानिसहरूमाथि म मेरा सबै विपत्ति ल्याउनेछु । सारा पृथ्वीमा मजस्तो कोही रहेनछ भनी तैँले जान् भनी म यसो गर्नेछु ।
Otherwise, I will send all My plagues against you and your officials and your people, so you may know that there is no one like Me in all the earth.
15 यति बेलासम्म त मैले मेरो हात पसारेर तँ र तेरा मानिसहरूलाई रोगले आक्रमण गरेको भए तँ यस धरतीबाट मटिनेथिइस् ।
For by this time I could have stretched out My hand and struck you and your people with a plague to wipe you off the earth.
16 मेरो नाउँ सारा पृथ्वीभरि घोषणा हुन सकोस् भनेर मेरो शक्ति देखाउनलाई मैले तँलाई जीवित रहने अनुमति दिएँ ।
But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display My power to you, and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth.
17 मेरा मानिसहरूलाई जान नदिएर तैँले अझै पनि आफूलाई उचालिरहेको छस् ।
Still, you lord it over My people and do not allow them to go.
18 सुन्! भोलि यसै बेलातिर म निकै शक्तिशाली असिना बर्साउनेछु जुन मिश्र सुरु भएदेखि आजको दिनसम्म बर्सिएको छैन ।
Behold, at this time tomorrow I will rain down the worst hail that has ever fallen on Egypt, from the day it was founded until now.
19 अब मानिसहरू पठाएर तेरा खेतहरूमा भएका तेरा गाईवस्तु र हरेक जे-जति छन् तिनलाई सुरक्षित स्थानमा जम्मा गर् । खेतमा भएका र घरमा नल्याइएका हरेक मानिस र पशुमाथि असिना बर्सनेछ र तिनीहरू मर्नेछन् ।”
So give orders now to shelter your livestock and everything you have in the field. Every man or beast that remains in the field and is not brought inside will die when the hail comes down upon them.’”
20 परमप्रभुको सन्देशमा विश्वास गर्ने फारोका अधिकारीहरूले दासदासीहरू र गाईवस्तुहरूलाई घरहरूमा हुल्न हतार गरे ।
Those among Pharaoh’s officials who feared the word of the LORD hurried to bring their servants and livestock to shelter,
21 तर परमप्रभुको सन्देशलाई गम्भीरतापूर्वक नलिनेहरूले तिनीहरूका दासदासीहरू र गाईवस्तुहरूलाई खेतहरूमा छाडिदिए ।
but those who disregarded the word of the LORD left their servants and livestock in the field.
22 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “तेरो हात आकाशमाथि पसार् ताकि मिश्र देशमा असिना बर्सोस् । ती मिश्र देशभरिका मानिसहरू, पशुहरू खेतमा भएका सबै बोट-बिरुवामा बर्सून् ।”
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that hail may fall on all the land of Egypt—on man and beast and every plant of the field throughout the land of Egypt.”
23 मोशाले आफ्नो लट्ठी आकाशतिर पसारे र परमप्रभुले जमिनमा गर्जन, असिना र बिजुली पठाइदिनुभयो । उहाँले मिश्र देशमा असिना बर्साइदिनुभयो । बिजुलीसँगै असिना मिसिएर आएको थियो ।
So Moses stretched out his staff toward heaven, and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and lightning struck the earth. So the LORD rained down hail upon the land of Egypt.
24 यो यति डरलाग्दो थियो कि मिश्र राज्य भएदेखि त्यस देशमा यस्तो कहिल्यै भएको थिएन ।
The hail fell and the lightning continued flashing through it. The hail was so severe that nothing like it had ever been seen in all the land of Egypt from the time it became a nation.
25 मिश्र देशभरि असिनाले खेतमा भएका हरेक कुरासाथै मानिस र पशुहरू दुवैलाई प्रहार गर्यो । यसले खेतहरूमा भएको हरेक बोट-बिरुवालाई प्रहार गर्नुका साथै हरेक रुख भाँचिदियो ।
Throughout the land of Egypt, the hail struck down everything in the field, both man and beast; it beat down every plant of the field and stripped every tree.
26 इस्राएलीहरू बसेको गोशेन प्रदेशमा मात्र असिना परेको थिएन ।
The only place where it did not hail was in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived.
27 त्यसपछि फारोले मोशा र हारूनलाई बोलाउन मानिसहरू पठाए । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “यस पटक मैले पाप गरेको छु । परमप्रभु धर्मी हुनुहुन्छ अनि म र मेरा मानिसहरू दुष्ट छौँ ।
Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,” he said. “The LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
28 परमप्रभुलाई बिन्ती चढाऊ किनकि शक्तिशाली गर्जन र असिना अति भएका छन् । म तिमीहरूलाई जान दिनेछु र अब उसो तिमीहरू यहाँ बस्नुपर्नेछैन ।”
Pray to the LORD, for there has been enough of God’s thunder and hail. I will let you go; you do not need to stay any longer.”
29 मोशाले तिनलाई भने, “मैले सहर छाड्ने बित्तिकै म मेरो हात परमप्रभुतिर फैलाउनेछु । गर्जन रोकिनेछ र अब उसो असिना पर्नेछैन । यसरी पृथ्वी परमप्रभुको हो रहेछ भनी तपाईंले थाहा पाउनुहुनेछ ।
Moses said to him, “When I have left the city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD. The thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, so that you may know that the earth is the LORD’s.
30 तर तपाईं र तपाईंका अधिकारीहरूको सवालमा तपाईंहरूले वास्तवमा परमप्रभुलाई आदर गर्नुहुन्न भनी म जान्दछु ।”
But as for you and your officials, I know that you still do not fear the LORD our God.”
31 अब सनपाट र जौ नष्ट भए किनकि जौमा बाला लागेको थियो र सनपाटचाहिँ फुलिसकेको थियो ।
(Now the flax and barley were destroyed, since the barley was ripe and the flax was in bloom;
32 तर गहुँ र कठियागहुँलाई हानि भएन किनकि ती पछि पाक्छन् ।
but the wheat and spelt were not destroyed, because they are late crops.)
33 जब मोशाले फारो र सहरलाई छाडे तिनले आफ्ना हात परमप्रभुतिर फैलाए । गर्जन र असिना रोकिए अनि पानी पर्न छाड्यो ।
Then Moses departed from Pharaoh, went out of the city, and spread out his hands to the LORD. The thunder and hail ceased, and the rain no longer poured down on the land.
34 वर्षा, असिना र गर्जन रोकिएको देखेपछि फारोले फेरि पाप गरे र तिनले आफ्नो ह्रदय कठोर पारे र तिनका अधिकारीहरूले पनि त्यसै गरे ।
When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had ceased, he sinned again and hardened his heart—he and his officials.
35 फारोको ह्रदय कठोर भयो । त्यसैले तिनले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई जान दिएनन् । फारोले यसै गर्नेथिए भनी परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभएको थियो ।
So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the LORD had said through Moses.
