प्रस्थान 9
1 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “फारोकहाँ गएर भन्, 'हिब्रूहरूका परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः मेरो आराधना गर्नलाई मेरो मानिसहरूलाई जान दे ।
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go to the king and say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh, the God [we] Hebrews [worship], says: “Allow my people to go, in order that they may worship me.
2 तैँले तिनीहरूलाई जान दिन इन्कार गरिस् र तिनीहरूलाई अझै पनि रोकिस् भने
If you still keep refusing to let them go [DOU],
3 परमप्रभुको हात खेतहरू, घोडाहरू, गधाहरू, ऊँटहरू, गाईवस्तुहरू र भेडा-बाख्राहरूमाथि पर्नेछ र यसले डरलाग्दो रोग उत्पन्न गराउनेछ ।
I warn you that I will punish you with my power [MTY] by sending a terrible disease on all your animals—on your horses, donkeys, camels, on your cattle, and on your flocks [of sheep and goats].
4 परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका गाईवस्तु र मिश्रका गाईवस्तु छुट्ट्याउनेहुनेछ र इस्राएलीहरूको कुनै पनि गाईवस्तु मर्नेछैन ।
But I, Yahweh, will distinguish between [what I do to] the animals that belong to the Israeli people and [what I do to] your animals. The result will be that no animal that belongs to the Israeli people will die.”’
5 परमप्रभुले समय निधो गरिसक्नुभएको छ । उहाँले भन्नुभएको छ, “भोलि यस देशमा म यो काम गर्नेछु ।”
[Tell him that] I have determined/decided that tomorrow is the day that I will do this in this land.”
6 परमप्रभुले अर्को दिन त्यही गर्नुभयो । मिश्रका सबै गाईवस्तु मरे, तर इस्राएलीहरूका पशुहरू भने जीवितै रहे, एउटै पनि मरेन ।
The next day Yahweh did just what he said [that he would do]. A terrible disease afflicted all of the Egyptians’ animals, and many of them [HYP] died. But none of the Israeli people’s animals died.
7 फारोले अनुसन्धान गर्दा इस्राएलीहरूका एउटै पनि पशु नमेरोको पाए । तर तिनको ह्रदय हठी भयो, त्यसैले तिनले मानिसहरूलाई जान दिएनन् ।
The king sent [men to investigate], and they were surprised [to see] that none of the Israeli people’s animals had died. But [after they reported that to] the king, he continued to be stubborn [IDM], and he did not let the [Israeli] people go.
8 तब परमप्रभुले मोशा र हारूनलाई भन्नुभयो, “भट्टीबाट मुट्ठीभर खरानी लेओ । तँ मोशाले फारोले हेरिरहँदा त्यस खरानीलाई आकाशमा फ्याँक्नू ।
Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me, “Take a few handfuls of ashes/soot from (a furnace/an oven where they burn lime), and let Moses throw them up into the air, in front of the king.
9 ती मिश्र देशभरि मसिनो धुलो बन्नेछन् । तिनले मिश्र देशका सबै मानिस र पशुहरूमा फोका र खटिरा ल्याउनेछन् ।”
The [ashes/soot] will spread all over the country of Egypt like fine dust. And the ashes/soot will cause boils to afflict both the Egyptian people and their animals, all over 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/we both got some ashes/soot and [went and] stood in front of the king. Moses/I threw the ashes/soot up into the air. The ashes/soot spread all over, causing boils to afflict the [Egyptian] people and their animals. All the boils became open sores.
11 फोकाको कारणले जादुगरहरूले मोशाको विरोध गर्न सकेनन् । किनकि फोका सबै मिश्रीमाथि आइपरेको थियो ।
Even the men who worked magic had boils. The result was that [they were suffering so much that] they were not able to come to Moses/me, because the men who worked magic had boils just like all [the rest of] the Egyptian people.
12 परमप्रभुले फारोको ह्रदय कठोर पारिदिनुभयो । त्यसैले फारोले मोशा र हारूनको कुरा सुनेनन् । फारोले मोशाको कुरा सुन्नेथिएन भनी परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएझैँ भयो ।
But Yahweh caused the king to [continue to] be stubborn [IDM]. He did not pay any attention to what they/we [said], just as Yahweh had told Moses/me [would happen].
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 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Get up early [tomorrow] morning. Go and stand in front of the king and tell him that Yahweh God, the one that the Hebrew people [worship], says this: ‘Let my people go, in order that they may worship me [in the desert].
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 ।
[If you do not let them go], this time I will [punish] with plagues [not only] your officials and the rest of your people, but I will punish you yourself [SYN], in order that you will know there is no [god] like me anywhere in the world.
15 यति बेलासम्म त मैले मेरो हात पसारेर तँ र तेरा मानिसहरूलाई रोगले आक्रमण गरेको भए तँ यस धरतीबाट मटिनेथिइस् ।
By this time I could have used my power [MTY] to strike you and your people with terrible diseases that would have wiped you all from the earth.
16 मेरो नाउँ सारा पृथ्वीभरि घोषणा हुन सकोस् भनेर मेरो शक्ति देखाउनलाई मैले तँलाई जीवित रहने अनुमति दिएँ ।
But I have let you live. The reason I have let you live is to show you my power, with the result that [people] all over the earth [HYP] will know how great I [MTY] am.
17 मेरा मानिसहरूलाई जान नदिएर तैँले अझै पनि आफूलाई उचालिरहेको छस् ।
You are still acting proudly and refusing to let my people go.
18 सुन्! भोलि यसै बेलातिर म निकै शक्तिशाली असिना बर्साउनेछु जुन मिश्र सुरु भएदेखि आजको दिनसम्म बर्सिएको छैन ।
So listen [to this]: About this time tomorrow I will cause very heavy hail to fall [in Egypt]. From the time Egypt first became [a country], there has never been a hailstorm [as bad as this one will be].
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 you should send [a message to everyone] to put their cattle, and everything else that they own that is [out] in the fields, under shelters. The hail will fall on every person and every animal that is out in the fields and that is not put under a shelter, and they will all die.’” [So Moses/I did what Yahweh said].
20 परमप्रभुको सन्देशमा विश्वास गर्ने फारोका अधिकारीहरूले दासदासीहरू र गाईवस्तुहरूलाई घरहरूमा हुल्न हतार गरे ।
Some of the king’s officials who heard what Yahweh had said became very afraid. So they put all their animals and their slaves under shelters.
21 तर परमप्रभुको सन्देशलाई गम्भीरतापूर्वक नलिनेहरूले तिनीहरूका दासदासीहरू र गाईवस्तुहरूलाई खेतहरूमा छाडिदिए ।
But those who did not pay any attention to what Yahweh had said left their slaves and their animals in the fields.
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 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Raise your hand up toward the sky, in order that hail will fall all over the land of Egypt—on the people and on their animals and on all the plants in the fields.”
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/I lifted his/my stick up toward the sky. And Yahweh sent down hail, all over the land of Egypt. There was also thunder and lightning.
24 यो यति डरलाग्दो थियो कि मिश्र राज्य भएदेखि त्यस देशमा यस्तो कहिल्यै भएको थिएन ।
While very heavy hail was falling, there was thunder, and lightning struck the ground. There had never been a hailstorm like that since Egypt first became a country.
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 ।
The hail struck everything that was in the fields all over Egypt—every person and every animal. The hail destroyed the plants in the fields and stripped [the leaves off] the trees.
26 इस्राएलीहरू बसेको गोशेन प्रदेशमा मात्र असिना परेको थिएन ।
Only in the Goshen region, where the Israeli people were [living], was there no hail.
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 the king sent [someone] to summon Aaron and Moses/me. [When they/we came to the king], he said to them/us, “This time [I admit that] I have sinned. What Yahweh [has done] is right, and what I and my people [have done] is wrong.
28 परमप्रभुलाई बिन्ती चढाऊ किनकि शक्तिशाली गर्जन र असिना अति भएका छन् । म तिमीहरूलाई जान दिनेछु र अब उसो तिमीहरू यहाँ बस्नुपर्नेछैन ।”
(Pray to/Plead with) Yahweh [to cause it to stop]! [We] cannot [endure any more] of this thunder and hail! I will let your people go; they do not have to stay [here in Egypt] 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/I replied, “As soon as I go out of this city, I will lift up my hands [and pray] to Yahweh. Then the thunder will cease, and no more hail [will fall]. [This will happen] in order that you will know that Yahweh, [not your gods], controls everything [that happens] on the earth.
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 do not yet fear Yahweh God.”
31 अब सनपाट र जौ नष्ट भए किनकि जौमा बाला लागेको थियो र सनपाटचाहिँ फुलिसकेको थियो ।
When the hail fell, the flax was ruined because the buds were forming, and the barley was ruined because its grain was ripe.
32 तर गहुँ र कठियागहुँलाई हानि भएन किनकि ती पछि पाक्छन् ।
But none of the wheat crops was ruined, because their shoots were still very small.
33 जब मोशाले फारो र सहरलाई छाडे तिनले आफ्ना हात परमप्रभुतिर फैलाए । गर्जन र असिना रोकिए अनि पानी पर्न छाड्यो ।
So Moses/I left the king and went outside the city. He/I lifted up his/my hands toward Yahweh [and prayed]. Then the thunder and the hail stopped, and the rain also stopped falling on the land [of Egypt].
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 the king saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder had stopped, he sinned again. He and his officials continued to be stubborn [IDM].
35 फारोको ह्रदय कठोर भयो । त्यसैले तिनले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई जान दिएनन् । फारोले यसै गर्नेथिए भनी परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभएको थियो ।
So, just as Yahweh had predicted by what he told Moses/me, the king did not allow the Israeli people to leave.
