Genesis 45
1 ಆಗ ಯೋಸೇಫನು ತನ್ನ ಸುತ್ತಲೂ ನಿಂತಿದ್ದವರ ಮುಂದೆ ಮನಸ್ಸನ್ನು ಬಿಗಿ ಹಿಡುಕೊಳ್ಳಲಾರದೆ--ಎಲ್ಲರನ್ನೂ ನನ್ನ ಬಳಿಯಿಂದ ಹೊರಗೆ ಹೋಗುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡಿರಿ ಎಂದು ಕೂಗಿದನು. ಯೋಸೇಫನು ತನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರರಿಗೆ ತನ್ನನ್ನು ಪ್ರಕಟಿಸಿ ಕೊಂಡಾಗ ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಬೇರೆ ಯಾರೂ ಇರಲಿಲ್ಲ.
2 ಆಗ ಅವನು ತನ್ನ ಸ್ವರವೆತ್ತಿ ಅತ್ತಾಗ ಐಗುಪ್ತ್ಯರೂ ಫರೋಹನ ಮನೆಯವರೂ ಕೇಳಿಸಿಕೊಂಡರು.
3 ಯೋಸೇಫನು ತನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರರಿಗೆ--ನಾನು ಯೋಸೇಫನು, ನನ್ನ ತಂದೆಯು ಇನ್ನೂ ಬದುಕಿ ದ್ದಾನೋ ಅಂದನು. ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಅವನ ಸಹೋದರರು ಅವನ ಮುಂದೆ ಕಳವಳಗೊಂಡವರಾಗಿ ಅವನಿಗೆ ಉತ್ತರ ಕೊಡಲಾರದೆ ಹೋದರು.
4 ಆಗ ಯೋಸೇಫನು ತನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರರಿಗೆ--ನನ್ನ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಬನ್ನಿರಿ ಎಂದು ಕೇಳಿಕೊಂಡನು. ಅವರು ಹತ್ತಿರಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದಾಗ ಅವನು--ನೀವು ಐಗುಪ್ತಕ್ಕೆ ಮಾರಿದ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಸಹೋದರನಾದ ಯೋಸೇಫನು ನಾನೇ.
5 ಆದರೆ ನೀವು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಇಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಮಾರಿದ್ದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಈಗ ವ್ಯಸನಪಟ್ಟು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮೇಲೆ ನೀವೇ ಸಿಟ್ಟು ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಡಿರಿ. ಪ್ರಾಣ ಸಂರಕ್ಷಣೆಗಾಗಿ ದೇವರು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮುಂದೆ ಕಳುಹಿಸಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
6 ಈ ಎರಡು ವರುಷಗಳ ವರೆಗೆ ಭೂಮಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕ್ಷಾಮವಿತ್ತು. ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ಇನ್ನೂ ಐದು ವರುಷಗಳ ವರೆಗೆ ಬಿತ್ತುವದೂ ಕೊಯ್ಯುವದೂ ಇರುವದಿಲ್ಲ.
7 ಆದದ ರಿಂದ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಸಂತತಿಯನ್ನು ಭೂಮಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಉಳಿಸುವ ದಕ್ಕೂ ದೊಡ್ಡ ಬಿಡುಗಡೆಯಿಂದ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಪ್ರಾಣಗಳನ್ನು ಉಳಿಸುವದಕ್ಕೂ ದೇವರು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮುಂದೆ ಕಳುಹಿಸಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
8 ಆದದರಿಂದ ಈಗ ನೀವಲ್ಲ, ದೇವರು ತಾನೇ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಇಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಕಳುಹಿಸಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ಆತನು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಫರೋಹನಿಗೆ ತಂದೆಯಾಗಿಯೂ ಅವನ ಮನೆಗೆಲ್ಲಾ ಯಜಮಾನನನ್ನಾಗಿಯೂ ಐಗುಪ್ತ ದೇಶಕ್ಕೆಲ್ಲಾ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಯನ್ನಾಗಿಯೂ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
9 ನೀವು ಶೀಘ್ರವಾಗಿ ನನ್ನ ತಂದೆಯ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಹೊರಟುಹೋಗಿ ಅವನಿಗೆ--ನಿನ್ನ ಮಗನಾದ ಯೋಸೇಫನು--ದೇವರು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಐಗುಪ್ತಕ್ಕೆಲ್ಲಾ ಪ್ರಭುವನ್ನಾಗಿ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾನೆ; ತಡ ಮಾಡದೆ ನನ್ನ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಇಳಿದು ಬಾ;
10 ಗೋಷೆನ್‌ ದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿ ನೀನು ವಾಸವಾಗಿದ್ದು ನಿನ್ನ ಮಕ್ಕಳೂ ಮೊಮ್ಮಕ್ಕಳೂ ದನ ಕುರಿಗಳೂ ನಿನಗಿದ್ದದ್ದೆಲ್ಲವೂ ನನ್ನ ಸವಿಾಪ ದಲ್ಲಿರಬೇಕು;
11 ಅಲ್ಲಿ ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಪೋಷಿಸುವೆನು. ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ಇನ್ನೂ ಕ್ಷಾಮದ ಐದು ವರುಷಗಳಿವೆ. ನಿನಗೂ ನಿನ್ನ ಮನೆಗೂ ನಿನಗಿರುವದೆಲ್ಲದಕ್ಕೂ ಬಡತನವಾಗಬಾರದು ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿರಿ.
12 ಇಗೋ, ನಿಮ್ಮ ಸಂಗಡ ಮಾತನಾಡುವದು ನನ್ನ ಬಾಯಿಯೇ ಎಂದು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕಣ್ಣುಗಳೂ ನನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರನಾದ ಬೆನ್ಯಾವಿಾನನ ಕಣ್ಣುಗಳೂ ನೋಡುತ್ತವೆ.
13 ಹೀಗಿರ ಲಾಗಿ ನೀವು ಐಗುಪ್ತದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿ ನನಗಿರುವ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಘನವನ್ನೂ ನೀವು ನೋಡಿದ್ದೆಲ್ಲವನ್ನೂ ನನ್ನ ತಂದೆಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸಿ, ನನ್ನ ತಂದೆಯನ್ನು ಶೀಘ್ರವಾಗಿ ಇಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಕರೆದುಕೊಂಡು ಬನ್ನಿರಿ ಅಂದನು.
14 ಅವನು ತನ್ನ ತಮ್ಮನಾದ ಬೆನ್ಯಾವಿಾನನ ಕೊರಳನ್ನು ಅಪ್ಪಿ ಕೊಂಡು ಅತ್ತನು; ಬೆನ್ಯಾವಿಾನನೂ ಅವನ ಕೊರಳನ್ನು ಅಪ್ಪಿಕೊಂಡು ಅತ್ತನು.
15 ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ತನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರ ರಿಗೆಲ್ಲಾ ಮುದ್ದಿಟ್ಟು ಅವರನ್ನು ಹಿಡುಕೊಂಡು ಅತ್ತನು. ತರುವಾಯ ಅವನ ಸಹೋದರರು ಅವನ ಸಂಗಡ ಮಾತನಾಡಿದರು.
16 ಯೋಸೇಫನ ಸಹೋದರರು ಬಂದಿದ್ದಾರೆಂಬ ಸುದ್ದಿಯನ್ನು ಫರೋಹನ ಮನೆಯವರು ಕೇಳಿದಾಗ ಫರೋಹನಿಗೂ ಅವನ ಸೇವಕರಿಗೂ ಅದು ಮೆಚ್ಚಿಕೆಯಾಗಿತ್ತು.
17 ಫರೋಹನು ಯೋಸೇಫ ನಿಗೆ--ನಿನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರರಿಗೆ--ನೀವು ಹೀಗೆ ಮಾಡಿರಿ; ನಿಮ್ಮ ಪಶುಗಳ ಮೇಲೆ ಸಾಮಾಗ್ರಿಗಳನ್ನು ಹೇರಿ ಕಾನಾನ್‌ ದೇಶಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋಗಿ
18 ನಿಮ್ಮ ತಂದೆಯನ್ನೂ ನಿಮ್ಮ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮನೆಯವರನ್ನೂ ಕರಕೊಂಡು ನನ್ನ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಬನ್ನಿರಿ. ಐಗುಪ್ತದೇಶದ ಉತ್ತಮವಾದದ್ದನ್ನು ನಾನು ನಿಮಗೆ ಕೊಡುವೆನು. ಈ ದೇಶದ ಸಾರವನ್ನು ಊಟಮಾಡುವಿರಿ.
19 ಇದನ್ನು ಮಾಡುವಂತೆ ನಿಮಗೆ ಅಪ್ಪಣೆಯಾಯಿತು; ಐಗುಪ್ತದೇಶದೊಳಗಿಂದ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಚಿಕ್ಕವರಿಗಾಗಿಯೂ ಹೆಂಡತಿಯರಿಗಾಗಿಯೂ ಬಂಡಿ ಗಳನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗಿ ನಿಮ್ಮ ತಂದೆಯನ್ನು ಕರಕೊಂಡು ಬನ್ನಿರಿ.
20 ನಿಮ್ಮ ಸಾಮಾನುಗಳಿಗಾಗಿ ಚಿಂತಿಸಬೇಡಿರಿ; ಐಗುಪ್ತದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಉತ್ತಮ ವಾದದ್ದೆಲ್ಲಾ ನಿಮ್ಮದೇ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳು ಅಂದನು.
21 ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲನ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಮಾಡಿದರು. ಫರೋಹನ ಅಪ್ಪಣೆಯ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ಯೋಸೇಫನು ಅವರಿಗೆ ಬಂಡಿಗಳನ್ನೂ ಮಾರ್ಗಕ್ಕೋಸ್ಕರ ಆಹಾರ ವನ್ನೂ ಕೊಟ್ಟನು.
22 ಅವರೆಲ್ಲರಿಗೆ ಒಂದೊಂದು ಜೊತೆ ವಸ್ತ್ರಗಳನ್ನೂ ಬೆನ್ಯಾವಿಾನನಿಗೆ ಮುನ್ನೂರು ಬೆಳ್ಳಿಯ ನಾಣ್ಯಗಳನ್ನೂ ಐದು ಜೊತೆ ವಸ್ತ್ರಗಳನ್ನೂ ಕೊಟ್ಟನು.
23 ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ಅವನು ತನ್ನ ತಂದೆಗೆ ಹತ್ತು ಕತ್ತೆಗಳು ಹೊರುವಷ್ಟು ಐಗುಪ್ತದ ಶೇಷ್ಠವಾದ ವುಗಳನ್ನೂ ಪ್ರಯಾಣಕ್ಕೋಸ್ಕರ ತನ್ನ ತಂದೆಗೆ ಹತ್ತು ಹೆಣ್ಣು ಕತ್ತೆಗಳು ಹೊರುವಷ್ಟು ಗೋಧಿರೊಟ್ಟಿ ಆಹಾರ ಗಳನ್ನೂ ಕಳುಹಿಸಿದನು.
24 ಅವನು ಅವರಿಗೆ--ಮಾರ್ಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಜಗಳವಾಡಬೇಡಿರಿ ಎಂದು ಅವರಿಗೆ ಹೇಳಿದ ಮೇಲೆ ಅವರು ಹೋದರು.
25 ಅವರು ಐಗುಪ್ತದಿಂದ ಹೋರಟುಹೋಗಿ ಕಾನಾನಿನಲ್ಲಿದ್ದ ಅವರ ತಂದೆಯಾದ ಯಾಕೋಬನ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಬಂದು--
26 ಯೋಸೇಫನು ಇನ್ನೂ ಜೀವದಿಂದ ಇದ್ದಾನೆ; ಅವನೇ ಐಗುಪ್ತದೇಶವನ್ನೆಲ್ಲಾ ಆಳುತಿದ್ದಾ ನೆಂದು ಅವನಿಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸಿದಾಗ ಅವನು ನಂಬದೆ ಇದ್ದದ್ದರಿಂದ ಹೃದಯವು ಕುಂದಿಹೋಯಿತು.
27 ಆದರೆ ಯೋಸೇಫನು ತಮಗೆ ಹೇಳಿದ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಮಾತುಗಳನ್ನು ಅವರು ಯಾಕೋಬನಿಗೆ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದಲ್ಲದೆ ಅವನನ್ನು ಕರಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗುವದಕ್ಕೆ ಯೋಸೇಫನು ಕಳುಹಿಸಿದ ಬಂಡಿಗಳನ್ನು ಅವನು ನೋಡಿದಾಗ ಅವರ ತಂದೆಯಾದ ಯಾಕೋಬನ ಆತ್ಮವು ಉಜ್ಜೀ ವಿಸಿತು.
28 ಆಗ ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲನು--ನನ್ನ ಮಗನಾದ ಯೋಸೇಫನು ಇನ್ನೂ ಜೀವದಿಂದಿದ್ದಾನೆ, ಅದು ಸಾಕು; ನಾನು ಸಾಯುವದಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಮುಂಚೆ ಹೋಗಿ ಅವನನ್ನು ನೋಡುವೆನು ಅಂದನು.
1 Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.
2 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
3 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
4 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
6 For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.
7 And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
8 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
9 Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:
10 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children’s children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:
11 And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.
12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.
13 And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither.
14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin’s neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
15 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.
16 And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, Joseph’s brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
18 And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
19 Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
20 Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.
21 And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
22 To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.
23 And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way.
24 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.
25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,
26 And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob’s heart fainted, for he believed them not.
27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
28 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
Exodus 13 in Tamil and English
1 ଏହାପରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାଶାଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲେ,
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ସନ୍ତାନମାନଙ୍କ ମଧିଅରେ ମନୁଷ୍ଯ ହେଉ କି ପଶୁ ହେଉ, ଯେ କହେି ପ୍ରଥମେ ଜାତ ହବେ, ସହେି ପ୍ରଥମଜାତ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ଆମ୍ଭ ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ଯ ରେ ପ୍ରଦାନ କର, ତାହା ଆମ୍ଭର।
Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.
3 ମାଶାେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଏହି ଦିବସକୁ ମନେ ରଖ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମିଶର ରେ ଦାସ ଥିଲ, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ମହାନ୍ ଶକ୍ତି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଏହି ଦିନ ମୁକ୍ତ କରିଥିଲା। ତେଣୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତାଡିଶୂନ୍ଯ ରୋଟୀ ଭକ୍ଷଣ କରିବ।
And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the Lord brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
4 ଆଜି ଆବୀବ୍ ମାସ ରେ ଏହି ଦିନ ରେ ବାହାର ହେଲେ।
This day came ye out in the month Abib.
5 ଆଉ ଯେତବେେଳେ କିଣାନୀଯ, ହିତ୍ତୀଯ, ଇ ମାରେୀଯ, ହିଦ୍ଦୀଯ ଓ ୟିବୂଷୀଯ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ଯେଉଁ ଉନ୍ନତ ଦେଶ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଦବୋକୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷମାନଙ୍କ ପାଖ ରେ ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା କରିଥିଲେ, ସହେି ଦେଶକୁ ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦବେେ।
And it shall be when the Lord shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
6 ସାତଦିନ ୟାଏ ତାଡୀଶୂନ୍ଯ ରୋଟୀ ଖାଇବ। ଏବଂ ସପ୍ତମଦିନ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ଯ ରେ ତାଙ୍କର ସମ୍ମାନାର୍ଥେ ଏକ ବଡ ଭୋଜିର ଆଯୋଜନ କରିବ।
Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the Lord.
7 ତେଣୁ ସାତଦିନ ପାଇଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତାଡିଶୂନ୍ଯ ରୋଟୀ ଖାଇବ। ଏବଂ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଦେଶ ରେ କୌଣସିଠା ରେ ତାଡୀ ମିଶ୍ରୀତ ରୋଟୀ ଯେପରି କହେି ନଖାନ୍ତି।
Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
8 ସହେିଦିନ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପିଲାମାନଙ୍କୁ ନିଶ୍ଚଯ କହିବ, 'ଆମ୍ଭେ ଏହି ଭୋଜିର ଆଯୋଜନ କରିଛୁ ଯେ ହତେୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭଛୁ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ମିଶରରୁ ଏହିଦିନ ମୁକ୍ତ କରିଥିଲେ।'
And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the Lord did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
9 ଏହି ପବିତ୍ର ଦିନଟିକୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମନେ ରଖିବ। ଏହା ଯେପରି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ବ୍ଯବସ୍ଥା ଯେପରି ତୁମ୍ଭ ମୁଖ ରେ ରହିବ, ଏଥିପାଇଁ ଏହା ଚିହ୍ନ ସ୍ବରୂପ ତୁମ୍ଭ ହସ୍ତ ରେ ଓ ସ୍ମରଣର ଉପାଯ ସ୍ବରୂପ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଚକ୍ଷୁ ଦ୍ବଯର ମଧ୍ଯସ୍ଥାନ ରେ ରହିବ। ଯେ ହତେୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ପରାକ୍ରାନ୍ତ ହସ୍ତଦ୍ବାରା ମିଶରଠାରୁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ବାହାର କରି ଆଣିଛନ୍ତି।
And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the Lord’s law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought thee out of Egypt.
10 ତେଣୁ ଏହି ସ୍ମରଣୀଯ ଦିବସଟିକୁ ବିଧି ଅନୁସାରେ ପାଳନ କରିବ।
Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.
11 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତାଙ୍କର ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା ରକ୍ଷା କରିବେ। ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ସହେି ଦେଶକୁ ନଇେଯିବେ, ଯେ ହତେୁ ସେ ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା କରିଛନ୍ତି। ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ସଠାେରେ କିଣାନୀଯମାନେ ବାସ କରୁଛନ୍ତି। କିନ୍ତୁ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା କରିଥିଲେ ଯେ, ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ସହେି ଦେଶ ଦବେେ।
And it shall be when the Lord shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,
12 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ନିଶ୍ଚଯ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପ୍ରଥମଜାତ ପୁତ୍ରକୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗ କରିବ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଗୋରୁଗାଈମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରଥମଜାତ ପୁଂପଶୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ ଦବୋ ଉଚିତ୍।
That thou shalt set apart unto the Lord all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the Lord’s.
13 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମଷେଶାବକ ଦଇେ ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ପ୍ରଥମଜାତ ଗଧକୁ ମୁକ୍ତ କରିପାରିବ। ଯଦି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୁକ୍ତ ନ କର, ତବେେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତା'ର ବକେକୁ ଭାଙ୍ଗି ଦବୋ ଉଚିତ୍। ତାହା ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ଯ ରେ ବଳିଦାନ ହବେ। କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପ୍ରଥମ ସନ୍ତାନ ପୁତ୍ରମାନଙ୍କୁ ମୁକ୍ତ କରିବାକୁ ହବେ।
And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.
14 ଭବିଷ୍ଯତ ରେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ସନ୍ତାନମାନେ ପଚାରିବେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ କାହିଁକି ଏପରି କରୁଛ? ଏବଂ ସମାନେେ ପଚାରିବେ, 'ଏସବୁର ଅର୍ଥ କ'ଣ? ଏବଂ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଉତ୍ତର ହବେ, 'ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତାଙ୍କର ମହାନ ଶକ୍ତି ବଳ ରେ ମିଶରଠାରୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଉଦ୍ଧାର କରିଛନ୍ତି। ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସଠାେରେ ଦାସ ଥିଲୁ। କିନ୍ତୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ସଠାରୁେ ବାହାର କରି ଏଠାକୁ ନଇେ ଆସିଛନ୍ତି।
And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the Lord brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:
15 ମିଶର ରେ, ଫାରୋ ଥିଲେ ଅତି କଠାେର ମନା। ସେ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ୟିବାକୁ ଦେଉନଥିଲେ, ତେଣୁ ସଠାେରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସମସ୍ତ ପ୍ରଥମଜାତ ପୁତ୍ରମାନଙ୍କୁ, ପ୍ରଥମଜାତ ପଶୁମାନଙ୍କୁ ହତ୍ଯା କରିଥିଲେ। ସହେି କାରଣରୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ପଶୁମାନଙ୍କର ପ୍ରଥମଜାତ ଅଣ୍ଡିରା ପଶୁ ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗ କରୁ କିନ୍ତୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରଥମଜାତ ପୁତ୍ରମାନଙ୍କୁ ତାଙ୍କ ନିକଟରୁ କିଣି ଫରୋଇ ଆଣୁ।'
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the Lord slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
16 ଏହା ଚିହ୍ନ ସ୍ବରୂପେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ହସ୍ତ ରେ ଓ ଭୂଷଣ ସ୍ବରୂପେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଚକ୍ଷୁ ଦ୍ବଯର ମଧ୍ଯସ୍ଥାନ ରେ ରହିବ। ଯେ ହତେୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ବାହୁବଳ ରେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ମିଶରରୁ ବାହାର କରି ଆଣିଲେ।
And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt.
17 ଏବଂ ତା'ପରେ ଯେତବେେଳେ ଫାରୋ ମାରେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ମିଶର ଛାଡିବାକୁ ଦେଲେ, ଯଦିଓ ପଲେଷ୍ଟୀୟ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ଦେଶକୁ ୟିବା ପାଇଁ ନିକଟ ବାଟ ଥିଲା, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ସେ ପଥରେ ନେଲେ ନାହିଁ। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ କହିଲେ, ଯଦି ଲୋକମାନେ ଏ ବାଟରେ ୟାଆନ୍ତି। ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ହୁଏତ ୟୁଦ୍ଧ କରିବାକୁ ପଡିପା ରେ। ତବେେ ହୁଏତ ସମାନେେ ତାଙ୍କର ମତ ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନ କରି ପାରନ୍ତି ଓ ମିଶରକୁ ଫରେିୟାଇ ପାରନ୍ତି।
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:
18 ତେଣୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଅନ୍ୟ ଏକ ପଥରେ ଆଗଇେ ନେଲେ। ସେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ସୂପ ସମୁଦ୍ର ପ୍ରାନ୍ତର ମଧ୍ଯ ଦଇେ ଆଣିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ମିଶର ଛାଡିବା ସମୟରେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲୀୟମାନେ ୟୁଦ୍ଧ ପାଇଁ ପୋଷାକ ପରିଧାନ କରିଥିଲେ।
But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
19 ମାଶାେ ଯୋଷଫଙ୍କେର ଅସ୍ତି ସାଙ୍ଗ ରେ ନଇେ ଆସିଲେ। ଯୋଷଫଙ୍କେ ମୃତ୍ଯୁ ପୂର୍ବରୁ ସେ ତାଙ୍କର ପୁତ୍ରମାନଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା କରାଇଥିଲେ, ଏପରି କରିବା ପାଇଁ। ଯୋଷଫେ କହିଥିଲେ, ଯେତବେେଳେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ରକ୍ଷା କରିବେ। ମନରେଖ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମାରେ ଅସ୍ତି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ମିଶରରୁ ନଇୟିବେ।
And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
20 ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକମାନେ ସୁକ୍କୋତଠାରୁ ଛାଡ଼ି ଏଥମ ରେ ଛାଉଣୀ ସ୍ଥାପନ କଲେ। ଏଥମ ମରୁଭୂମି ନିକଟବର୍ତ୍ତୀ ଥିଲା।
And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
21 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଆଗକୁ ପଥ କଢାଇ ନେଲେ, ଦିନ ବେଳେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ମେଘସ୍ତମ୍ଭ ଦ୍ବାରା ରାସ୍ତା ଦଖାଇେଲେ ଏବଂ ରାତି ରେ ସେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଅଗ୍ନିସ୍ତମ୍ଭ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ ରେ ଆଗଇେ ନେଲେ।
And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
22 ଦିନ ସମୟରେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଘନ ବାଦଲ ଏ ରାତ୍ର ସମୟରେ ଆଲୋକ ସ୍ତମ୍ଭ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ସହିତ ସର୍ବଦା ରଖିଲେ।
He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
