प्रस्थान 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 was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
25 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
