Exodus 3

1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.

अब मोशा अझै पनि आफ्ना ससुरा मिद्यानका पूजाहारी यित्रोका भेडा-बाख्रा चराउँदै थिए । तिनले भेडा-बाख्रालाई उजाड-स्थानको परसम्म लगी परमेश्‍वरको पर्वत होरेबसम्म लगे ।

2 And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

त्यहाँ परमप्रभुका दूत जलिरहेको पोथ्रामा तिनीकहाँ देखा परे । मोशाले हेर्दा त्यो पोथ्रा जलिरहेको थियो तर भस्म भएको थिएन ।

3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

मोशाले भने, “म एकातिर गएर यो गजबको दृश्य किन भस्म भएको रहेनछ भनी हेर्नेछु ।”

4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

जब तिनी हेर्नलाई एकातिर गएको परमप्रभुले देख्‍नुभयो तब उहाँले पोथ्राबाट तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “मोशा, ए मोशा ।” तिनले भने, “म यहीँ छु ।”

5 And he said, Come not near here: put off thy shoes from thy feet, for the place on which thou standest is holy ground.

परमेश्‍वरले भन्‍नुभयो, “अझ नजिक नआइज । तेरो खुट्टाबाट तेरो जुत्ता फुकाल् किनकि तँ उभिएको भूमि मेरो लागि अलग गरिएको छ ।”

6 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

उहाँले थप्‍नुभयो, “म तेरा पिता अब्राहाम, इसहाक र याकूबका परमेश्‍वर हुँ ।” त्यसपछि मोशाले आफ्नो अनुहार ढाके किनकि तिनी परमेश्‍वरलाई हेर्न डराएका थिए ।

7 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “निश्‍चय नै मिश्रमा भएका मेरा मानिसहरूको दुःखकष्‍ट मैले देखेको छु । तिनीहरूका नाइकेहरूको कारणले तिनीहरूको रुवाइ मैले सुनेको छु किनकि मलाई तिनीहरूको दुःखकष्‍ट थाहा छ ।

8 And I am come down to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good land and a large, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

तिनीहरूलाई मिश्रीहरूको शक्तिबाट छुटकारा दिलाई असल, विशाल अनि दूध र मह बग्‍ने देशमा लैजान म ओर्लिआएको छु । त्यो कनानी, हित्ती, एमोरी, परिज्‍जी, हिव्वी र यबूसीहरूको देश हो ।

9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come to me: and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.

अब इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको रुवाइ मकहाँ आइपुगेको छ । यसको अतिरिक्त, मिश्रीहरूद्वारा तिनीहरूमाथि गरिएको थिचोमिचोलाई पनि मैले देखेको छु ।

10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee to Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

अब म तँलाई फारोकहाँ पठाउनेछु ताकि तैँले मेरा मानिस इस्राएलीहरूलाई मिश्रबाट निकालेर लैजान सक् ।”

11 And Moses said to God, Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?

तर मोशाले परमेश्‍वरलाई भने, “फारोकहाँ गई मिश्रबाट इस्राएलीहरूलाई निकालेर ल्याउने म को हुँ र?”

12 And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token to thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.

परमेश्‍वरले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “निश्‍चय नै म तँसित हुनेछु । मैले तँलाई पठाएको हुँ भन्‍नाका लागि चिन्हचाहिँ यो हुनेछ । तैँले ती मानिसहरूलाई मिश्रबाट बाहिर ल्याएपछि तैँले यही पर्वतमा मेरो आराधना गर्नेछस् ।”

13 And Moses said to God, Behold, when I come to the children of Israel, and shall say to them, The God of your fathers hath sent me to you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say to them?

मोशाले परमेश्‍वरलाई भने, “म इस्राएलीहरूकहाँ गई 'तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाका परमेश्‍वरले मलाई तिमीहरूकहाँ पठाउनुभएको छ' भन्दा तिनीहरूले 'उहाँको नाउँ के हो' भनी सोधे भने मैले तिनीहरूलाई के जवाफ दिने?”

14 And God said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me to you.

परमेश्‍वरले मोशालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “म हुँ जो म हुँ ।” उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “तैँले इस्राएलीहरूलाई यसो भन्‍नू, 'म हुँ भन्‍नेले मलाई तिमीहरूकहाँ पठाउनुभएको छ' ।”

15 And God said moreover to Moses, Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me to you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial to all generations.

परमेश्‍वरले मोशालाई यसो पनि भन्‍नुभयो, “तैँले इस्राएलीहरूलाई यसो भन्‍नैपर्छ, 'तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाका परमेश्‍वर अर्थात् अब्राहामका परमेश्‍वर, इसहाकका परमेश्‍वर र याकूबका परमेश्‍वरले मलाई तिमीहरूकहाँ पठाउनुभएको हो । मेरो नाउँ सदासर्वादको लागि यही हो र यही नाउँद्वारा पुस्तौँसम्म मेरो सम्झना गरिनेछ ।'

16 Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:

गएर इस्राएलका धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई भेला गर् । तिनीहरूलाई यसो भन्‍नू, 'तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाका परमेश्‍वर अर्थात् अब्राहाम, इसहाक र याकूबका परमेश्‍वर मकहाँ देखा परी भन्‍नुभयो, “मैले वास्तवमै तिमीहरूलाई अवलोकन गरेको छु र तिमीहरूलाई मिश्रमा के गरिएको छ भनी देखेको छु ।

17 And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.

तिमीहरूले मिश्रमा भोगेको थिचोमिचोबाट मुक्त गरी दूध र मह बग्‍ने देश अर्थात् कनानी, हित्ती, एमोरी, परिज्‍जी, हिव्वी र यबूसीहरूको देशमा लैजाने मैले प्रतिज्ञा गरेको छु” ।'

18 And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and ye shall say to him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.

तिनीहरूले तेरो कुरा सुन्‍नेछन् । तँ र इस्राएलका धर्म-गुरुहरू मिश्रका राजाकहाँ गई त्यसलाई यसो भन्‍नू, 'हिब्रूहरूका परमप्रभुले हामीलाई भेट्नुभएको छ । अब हामी तिन दिनको यात्रा गरी उजाड-स्थानमा जाऔँ ताकि हाम्रा परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरलाई हामीले बलिदान चढाउन सकौँ ।'

19 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.

तर राजा बाध्य नपारिएसम्म त्यसले तिमीहरूलाई जान दिनेछैन भनी मलाई थाहा छ ।

20 And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in its midst: and after that he will let you go.

म मेरो हात फैलाई मैले मिश्रीहरूका बिचमा गर्ने सबै आश्‍चर्यकर्मले तिनीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछु । त्यसपछि त्यसले तिमीहरूलाई जान दिनेछ ।

21 And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty:

म यस जातिमाथि मिश्रहरूलाई निगाह गर्न लगाउनेछु ताकि तिमीहरू जाँदा रित्तो हात जान नपरोस् ।

22 But every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her that dwelleth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall plunder the Egyptians.

हरेक स्‍त्रीले आ-आफ्ना मिश्री छिमेकीहरू र तिनीहरूका घरहरूमा बस्‍ने कुनै पनि स्‍त्रीहरूबाट सुन र चाँदीका गरगहनाहरूसाथै लत्ता कपडाहरू माग्‍नेछ । तिमीहरूले ती आ-आफ्ना छोराछोरीहरूलाई लगाइदिनेछौ । यसरी तिमीहरूले मिश्रीहरूलाई लुट्नेछौ ।”
