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 in to Pharaoh and say to him, This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go so that they may give me worship.
2 तैँले तिनीहरूलाई जान दिन इन्कार गरिस् र तिनीहरूलाई अझै पनि रोकिस् भने
For if you will not let them go, but still keep them in your power,
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 put on your cattle in the field, on the horses and the asses and the camels, on the herds and the flocks, a very evil disease.
4 परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका गाईवस्तु र मिश्रका गाईवस्तु छुट्ट्याउनेहुनेछ र इस्राएलीहरूको कुनै पनि गाईवस्तु मर्नेछैन ।
And the Lord will make a division between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; there will be no loss of any of the cattle of Israel.
5 परमप्रभुले समय निधो गरिसक्नुभएको छ । उहाँले भन्नुभएको छ, “भोलि यस देशमा म यो काम गर्नेछु ।”
And the time was fixed by the Lord, and he said, Tomorrow the Lord will do this thing in the land.
6 परमप्रभुले अर्को दिन त्यही गर्नुभयो । मिश्रका सबै गाईवस्तु मरे, तर इस्राएलीहरूका पशुहरू भने जीवितै रहे, एउटै पनि मरेन ।
And on the day after, the Lord did as he had said, causing the death of all the cattle of Egypt, but there was no loss of any of the cattle of Israel.
7 फारोले अनुसन्धान गर्दा इस्राएलीहरूका एउटै पनि पशु नमेरोको पाए । तर तिनको ह्रदय हठी भयो, त्यसैले तिनले मानिसहरूलाई जान दिएनन् ।
And Pharaoh sent and got word that there was no loss of any of the cattle of Israel. But the heart of Pharaoh was hard and he did not let the people go.
8 तब परमप्रभुले मोशा र हारूनलाई भन्नुभयो, “भट्टीबाट मुट्ठीभर खरानी लेओ । तँ मोशाले फारोले हेरिरहँदा त्यस खरानीलाई आकाशमा फ्याँक्नू ।
And the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron, Take in your hand a little dust from the fire and let Moses send it in a shower up to heaven before the eyes of Pharaoh.
9 ती मिश्र देशभरि मसिनो धुलो बन्नेछन् । तिनले मिश्र देशका सबै मानिस र पशुहरूमा फोका र खटिरा ल्याउनेछन् ।”
And it will become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and will be a skin-disease bursting out in wounds on man and beast through all the land of Egypt.
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 some dust from the fire, and placing themselves before Pharaoh, Moses sent it out in a shower up to heaven; and it became a skin-disease bursting out on man and on beast.
11 फोकाको कारणले जादुगरहरूले मोशाको विरोध गर्न सकेनन् । किनकि फोका सबै मिश्रीमाथि आइपरेको थियो ।
And the wonder-workers were not able to take their places before Moses, because of the disease; for the disease was on the wonder-workers 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 ।
And the Lord made Pharaoh's heart hard, and he would not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.
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 ।
And the Lord said to Moses, Get up early in the morning and take your place before Pharaoh, and say to him, This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go so that they may give me worship.
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 ।
For this time I will send all my punishments on yourself and on your servants and on your people; so that you may see that there is no other 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 if I had put the full weight of my hand on you and your people, you would have been cut off from the earth:
16 मेरो नाउँ सारा पृथ्वीभरि घोषणा हुन सकोस् भनेर मेरो शक्ति देखाउनलाई मैले तँलाई जीवित रहने अनुमति दिएँ ।
But, for this very reason, I have kept you from destruction, to make clear to you my power, and so that my name may be honoured through all the earth.
17 मेरा मानिसहरूलाई जान नदिएर तैँले अझै पनि आफूलाई उचालिरहेको छस् ।
Are you still uplifted in pride against my people so that you will not let them go?
18 सुन्! भोलि यसै बेलातिर म निकै शक्तिशाली असिना बर्साउनेछु जुन मिश्र सुरु भएदेखि आजको दिनसम्म बर्सिएको छैन ।
Truly, tomorrow about this time I will send down an ice-storm, such as never was in Egypt from its earliest days till 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 ।”
Then send quickly and get in your cattle and all you have from the fields; for if any man or beast in the field has not been put under cover, the ice-storm will come down on them with destruction.
20 परमप्रभुको सन्देशमा विश्वास गर्ने फारोका अधिकारीहरूले दासदासीहरू र गाईवस्तुहरूलाई घरहरूमा हुल्न हतार गरे ।
Then everyone among the servants of Pharaoh who had the fear of the Lord, made his servants and his cattle come quickly into the house:
21 तर परमप्रभुको सन्देशलाई गम्भीरतापूर्वक नलिनेहरूले तिनीहरूका दासदासीहरू र गाईवस्तुहरूलाई खेतहरूमा छाडिदिए ।
And he who gave no attention to the word of the Lord, kept his servants and his cattle 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 ।”
And the Lord said to Moses, Now let your hand be stretched out to heaven so that there may be an ice-storm on all the land of Egypt, on man and on beast and on every plant of the field through all 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 ।
And Moses put out his rod to heaven: and the Lord sent thunder, and an ice-storm, and fire running down on the earth; the Lord sent an ice-storm on the land of Egypt.
24 यो यति डरलाग्दो थियो कि मिश्र राज्य भएदेखि त्यस देशमा यस्तो कहिल्यै भएको थिएन ।
So there was an ice-storm with fire running through it, coming down with great force, such as never was in all the land of Egypt from the time when 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 ।
And through all the land of Egypt the ice-storm came down on everything which was in the fields, on man and on beast; and every green plant was crushed and every tree of the field broken.
26 इस्राएलीहरू बसेको गोशेन प्रदेशमा मात्र असिना परेको थिएन ।
Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no ice-storm.
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 sent for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have done evil this time: the Lord is upright, and I and my people are sinners.
28 परमप्रभुलाई बिन्ती चढाऊ किनकि शक्तिशाली गर्जन र असिना अति भएका छन् । म तिमीहरूलाई जान दिनेछु र अब उसो तिमीहरू यहाँ बस्नुपर्नेछैन ।”
Make prayer to the Lord; for there has been enough of these thunderings of God and this ice-storm; and I will let you go and will keep you no 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 ।
And Moses said, When I am gone outside the town, my hands will be stretched out to the Lord; the thunders and the ice-storm will come to an end, so that you may see 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 servants, I am certain that even now the fear of the Lord God will not be in your hearts.
31 अब सनपाट र जौ नष्ट भए किनकि जौमा बाला लागेको थियो र सनपाटचाहिँ फुलिसकेको थियो ।
And the flax and the barley were damaged, for the barley was almost ready to be cut and the flax was in flower.
32 तर गहुँ र कठियागहुँलाई हानि भएन किनकि ती पछि पाक्छन् ।
But the rest of the grain-plants were undamaged, for they had not come up.
33 जब मोशाले फारो र सहरलाई छाडे तिनले आफ्ना हात परमप्रभुतिर फैलाए । गर्जन र असिना रोकिए अनि पानी पर्न छाड्यो ।
So Moses went out of the town, and stretching out his hands made prayer to God: and the thunders and the ice-storm came to an end; and the fall of rain was stopped.
34 वर्षा, असिना र गर्जन रोकिएको देखेपछि फारोले फेरि पाप गरे र तिनले आफ्नो ह्रदय कठोर पारे र तिनका अधिकारीहरूले पनि त्यसै गरे ।
But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the ice-storm and the thunders were ended, he went on sinning, and made his heart hard, he and his servants.
35 फारोको ह्रदय कठोर भयो । त्यसैले तिनले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई जान दिएनन् । फारोले यसै गर्नेथिए भनी परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभएको थियो ।
And the heart of Pharaoh was hard, and he did not let the people go, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Moses.
