Exodus 2
1 एकजना मानिस जो लेवी कुलका थिए, तिनले लेवी कुलकै एउटी आइमाईलाई विवाह गरे।
2 त्यो महिला गर्भवती भई अनि छोरा जन्माई। त्यो बालक अत्यन्त सुन्दर थियो। यसर्थ उसकी आमाले उसलाई तीन महीनासम्म लुकाएर राखी।
3 जब उनले त्यसलाई अझ लामो समयसम्म लुकाउन सकिन उसले एउटा डालो बनाई अनि त्यसलाई अलकत्राले लिपि कारण यसो गर्दा त्यो पानीमा बग्थ्यो, उसले त्यो बालकलाई डालो भित्र हाली अनि डालो निगालोधारी बीच नील नदीको छेउमा राखी।
4 त्यस नानीकी दिदीले बालकलाई के हुँदो रहेछ भनेर हेर्नको निम्ति केही टाढा बसी।
5 जब फिरऊनकी छोरी नील नदीमा नुहाउन आइन् तिनकी सेवीकाहरू नील नदीको छेउमा हिंडे, फिरऊनकी छोरीले डालो अग्ला निगालो घारिको बीचमा देखिन्। यसर्थ तिनले त्यो डालो ल्याउन तिनीहरू मध्ये एकजनालाई अह्राइन्।
6 राजकुमारीले ती डालो खोलिन् र त्यसभित्र एउटा बालकलाई रोइरहेको पाइन्। बालक रोइरहेकोमा त्यो राजकुमारी दुःखी भइन्। त्यसपछि तिनले थाहा पाइन् कि त्यो बालक कुनै हिब्रूको हो।
7 त्यस बालककी दिदीले फिरऊनको छोरीलाई सोधी, “म एउटी हिब्रू आइमाईलाई खोजूँ जसले यो नानीलाई तपाईंको निम्ति स्याहार सुसार गर्न सक्छे?”
8 फिरऊनकी छोरीले भनी, “हुन्छ, ल्याई देऊ।”यसर्थ त्यो केटी गएर त्यस नानीकी आफ्नै आमालाई लिएर आई।
9 फिरऊनकी छोरीले नानीकी आमालाई भनी, “यो नानी लैजाऊ अनि यसलाई हेरचाह गर र म तिमीलाई त्यसका निम्ति ज्याला दिनेछु।”तब आइमाईले नानीलाई लगी र उसलाई हेरचाह गरी।
10 त्यो नानी हुर्कियो अनि केही समयपछि त्यस आइमाईले राजकुमारीलाई नानी दिई। त्यो राजकुमारीले नानी ग्रहण गरी अनि त्यो नानीलाई उसले पानीबाट तानेर निकालेको हुनाले त्यसको नाउँ मोशा राखी।
11 जब मोशा बढेर ठूलो भए, उनी बाहिर गए अनि हिब्रू, आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई कठिन काम गर्न लगाएको देखे। एक दिन मोशाले एकजना मिश्री मानिसले मोशाको एकजना हिब्रू मानिसलाई हिर्काउँदै गरेको देखे।
12 मोशाले चारैतिर हेरे र त्यहाँ कोही अरू मानिसहरू नभएकाले त्यस मिश्री मानिसलाई मारेर बालुवा तल पुरे।
13 अर्को दिन दुइ जना हिब्रू मानिसहरूलाई आफ्स्तमा लडाइँ गर्दै गरेको भेटे। तिनीहरू मध्ये एकजनाको कसुर भएको उनले पाए अनि तिनलाई भने, “तिमीले किन आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई नोक्सान पुर्याइरहेकाछौं?”
14 त्यस मानिसले उत्तर दियो, “कसले तिमीलाई हाम्रो न्यायकर्ता र शासक बनायो? के तिमीले मलाई पनि मार्न लागिरहेकाछौ जस्तो तिमीले त्यो मिश्री मानिसलाई मारेका थियौ?”तब मोशा डराए। उनले सोचे, “मैले के गरेको थिएँ त्यो थाह पाए छ।”
15 मोशाद्वारा हत्या गरेको विषयमा फिरऊनले पनि थाह पाए, अनि उसलाई मार्ने निश्चय गरे। यसकारण मोशाले आफैलाई फिरऊन देखि बाँच्नको निम्ति भागेर मिद्यानमा गए।जब मोशा मिद्यानमा पुगे ऊ कुनै कुवाको नजिक बसे।
16 त्यहाँ एक जना मिद्यान पूजाहारी बस्थे जसका सातवटी छोरीहरू थिए। छोरीहरू तिनीहरूका पिताका भेडाहरूका लागि त्यही कुवामा पानी निकाल्न आए। तिनीहरूले डुँडमा पानी भर्ने प्रयास गरिरहेका थिए।
17 तर त्यहाँ केही भेडा गोठालाहरू जो त्यहाँ थिए केटीहरूलाई पछ्याउने चेष्टा गरे। यसकारण मोशाले केटीहरूलाई बंचाए अनि पानी झिके र पशुहरूलाई दिए।
18 तब ती केटीहरू तिनीहरूको बाबु रूएलकहाँ गए तिनीहरूका बाबुले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे, “किन आज तिमीहरू यति चाँडै घरमा आएकाछौं?”
19 केटीहरूले उत्तर दिए, “हो बाबु, गोठालाहरूले हामीलाई पछ्याउने चेष्टा गरे, तर एकजना मिश्र देशी मानिसले हाम्रो निम्ति पानी ताने र हाम्रा पशुहरूलाई खुवाए।”
20 यसकारण रूएलले आफ्नी छोरीहरूलाई भने, “त्यो मानिस कहाँ छ? किन तिमीहरूले उसलाई एक्लै छोड्यौ? उसलाई यहाँ बोलाऊ अनि उसले हामीसंगै खाओस्!”
21 मोशा रूएलसंग बस्न राजी भए। रूएलले आफ्नी छोरी सिप्पोरासंग मोशाको विवाह गरिदिए।
22 सिप्पोरा गर्भवती भई अनि एउटा छोरा जन्माइ मोशाले आफ्नो छोरोको नाउँ गेर्शोम राखे किनभने मोशा त्यस भूमिमा अपरिचित थिए जो उनको थिएन।
23 धेरै समय बिते पश्चात् मिश्रका राजाको मृत्यु भयो। तर इस्राएलका मानिसहरू अझै कठोर काम गर्नु बाध्य थिए। यसकारण तिनीहरूले सहायताको निम्ति प्रार्थना गरे अनि तिनीहरूको प्रार्थना परमेश्वरले सुन्नु भयो।
24 परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूको प्रार्थना सुन्नु भयो र उहाँले अब्राहाम, इसहाक अनि याकूबसित गर्नु भएको करार सम्झनु भयो।
25 परमेश्वरले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको कष्टहरू देख्नु भयो अनि चाँडै तिनीहरूलाई सहायता गर्नु पर्ने उहाँले बुझ्नु भयो।
1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
3 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river’s brink.
4 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river’s side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children.
7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
8 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child’s mother.
9 And Pharaoh’s daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
14 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.
17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?
19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
20 And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
22 And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
23 And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.
1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.
7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
9 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar’s friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
18 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
38 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.
42 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews’ preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
