प्रस्थान 3
1 त्यस समय मोशा उसको ससूराका भेडाहरूको हेरचाह गर्दैथिए। तिनका ससूरा यित्रो मिद्यानमा पूजाहारी थिए। मोशाले भेडाहरू मरूभूमिको पश्चिमतिर लगे। मोशा होरेब, परमेश्वरको पहाड गए।
2 पर्वतमा मोशाले परमप्रभुको दूतलाई एउटा बल्दै गरेको पोथ्रामा देखे। पोथ्रामा आगो जलिरहेको थियो तर पोथ्रा चाँहि भस्म भएको थिएन। उनले हेरे त्यो आगो पोथ्रामा जलि रहेको थियो तर पोथ्रा भस्म भएको थिएन।
3 मोशाले विचार गरे, “किन पोथ्रा आगो द्वारा नाश भएको छैन?”
4 जब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई त्यो दृश्य ध्यान पूर्वक हेर्न आएको देख्नुभयो परमप्रभुले पोथ्राबाट यसो भन्दै बोलाउनु भयो, “मोशा! मोशा!”मोशाले उत्तर दिए, “म यहाँ छु।”
5 तब परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “नजिक नआऊ। जुन ठाउँमा तिमी उभिरहेका छौ त्यो भूमि पवित्र हो यसर्थ आफ्नो जुत्ता खोल।
6 म तिम्रा पिता-पुर्खाहरू अब्राहाम, इसहाक र याकूबको परमेश्वर हुँ।”
7 मोशाले उसको अनुहार छोपे किनभने ऊ परमेश्वर तिर हेर्न डराएका थिए।परमेश्वरले उनलाई भन्नुभयो, “मिश्रमा भएका मेरो मानिसहरूले कष्ट भोगेको मैले देखेको छु। मैले तिनीहरूको शोकपूर्ण प्रार्थनाहरू सुनेको छु, जब तिनीहरूका कमारा मालिकहरूले जबरदस्ती कठिन कामहरू गर्न लगाए। म तिनीहरूको दुःखको कारण पनि जानेकोछु।
8 अब म त्यहाँ जान्छु अनि मेरो मानिसहरूलाई मिश्री मानिसहरूबाट बचाउँछु। म तिनीहरूलाई त्यस स्थानबाट निकालेर तिनीहरूले कष्ट भोग्नु नपर्ने स्थानमा लिएर जान्छु। त्यो ठाउँ धेरै-धेरै असल चीजहरूले भरिएको हुनेछ र कनानी, हित्ती, एमोरी, परिज्जी, हिव्वी र यबूसी जस्ता विभिन्न जातिका मानिसहरू बसो-बास गर्छन्।
9 मैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको पुकार सुनेकोछु। मैले देखें मिश्रीहरूले तिनीहरूका निम्ति जीवन कति कठोर बनाइदिएका छन्।
10 यसकारण अब म तिमीलाई फिरऊन कहाँ पठाउँछु। जाऊ अनि मेरा मानिस इस्राएलीहरूलाई मिश्रबाट बाहिर ल्याऊ।”
11 तर मोशाले परमेश्वरलाई भने, “म कुनै एउटा त्यस्तो महान मानिस होइन। म कसरी त्यो मानिस हुन सक्छु जो फिरऊन कहाँ जान सक्छ र इस्राएलीहरूलाई मिश्रबाट बाहिर ल्याउन सक्छ?”
12 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “तिमीले भलो गर्न सक्छौ किनभने म तिमीसित हुनेछु। यही प्रमाण हुनेछ कि मैले तिमीलाई पठाउँदैछु तिमीले इस्राएलीहरूलाई मिश्रदेशाबाट अगुवाई गरेपछि, तिमी आउनेछौ अनि यही पर्वतमा आराधना गर्नेछौ।”
13 तब मोशाले परमेश्वरलाई भने, “जब म इस्राएलीहरू कहाँ जान्छु अनि तिनीहरूलाई भन्छु, ‘म तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरद्वारा पठाइएको हुँ,’ अनि तिनीहरूले तपाईंको नाउँ सोधेमा मैले के भन्नु पर्नेछ?”
14 तब परमेश्वरले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “म जो हुँ’ त्यही हुँ तिनीहरूलाई भनिदेऊ, ‘म हुँ,’ भन्नेले तिमीलाई तिनीहरूकहाँ पठाएको हो।”
15 परमेश्वरले मोशालाई अझ भन्नुभयो, “तिमीले इस्राएलीहरूलाई के भन्नु पर्छ भने, ‘परमप्रभु तिम्रो पिता-पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वर, अब्राहामका परमेश्वर, इसहाकका परमेश्वर र याकूबका परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ। मेरो नाउँ सदैव परमप्रभु रहनेछ। यही रूपमा मानिसहरूले मलाई पुस्तौं-पुस्तासम्म चिन्नेछन्,’ यसैकारण मानिसहरूलाई भन, ‘परमप्रभुले मलाई तिमीहरू कहाँ पठाउनु भएको छ।”‘
16 परमेश्वरले मोशालाई फेरि भन्नुभयो, “जाऊ अनि इस्राएलका बूढा प्रधानहरूलाई एकत्रित गर अनि तिनीहरूलाई भन, ‘यहोवा, तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूका अब्राहाम, इसहाक अनि याकूबका परमेश्वर मेरोअघि मानिस जस्तै प्रकट हुनुभयो अनि मलाई भन्नु भयो, यहाँ मिश्रमा भोगेका कष्टहरू र शोकहरू उहाँलाई थाह छ र तिमीहरूलाई उहाँ कष्टबाट मुक्त गराउनु चाहनु हुन्छ।
17 उहाँले यसो भन्नु भयो तिमीहरूलाई मिश्रबाट बाहिर निकाल्नु हुनेछ, अनि विभिन्न जातिहरूको भूमिमा लानु हुनेछन् जस्तै कनानी, हित्ती, एमोरी, परिज्जी, हिव्वी र यबूसीहरू अनि दूध र मह बगिरहेको भूमिमा पुर्याउनु हुनेछ।’
18 ती बूढा-प्रधानहरूले तिमीहरूको कुरा सुन्नेछन्। त्यसपछि तिमी र बूढा-प्रधानहरू मिश्रका राजा कहाँ जानेछौ। तिमीले राजालाई भन्ने छौ “यहोवा हिब्रू मानिसहरूका परमेश्वर हुन्। हाम्रा परमेश्वर हामीकहाँ आउनु भयो अनि हामीलाई तीन दिनसम्म मरूभूमिमा यात्रा गर्न भन्नुभयो। हामीले हाम्रा परमेश्वर यहोवालाई त्यहाँ बलिहरू चढाउनु पर्नेछ।’
19 “तर म जान्दछु मिश्रको राजाले तिमीहरूलाई जान दिनु हुँदैन कुनै महाशक्तिले मात्र उहाँलाई जानु दिने बनाउनेछौ।
20 यसर्थ तिनीहरूमाझ म अचम्मका कुराहरू गर्न महाशक्ति प्रयोग गर्नेछु। जब म महाशक्तिको प्रयोग गर्छु राजाले तिनीहरूलाई छोडन बाध्य गर्नेछु।
21 अनि म मिश्रका मानिसहरूलाई इस्राएली मानिसहरूप्रति दयालु बनाउँनेछु। जब इस्राएलीहरूले मिश्र छाडछन् तिनीहरू रित्तै हात जाने छैनन्।
22 हिब्रू महिलाहरूले तिनीहरूका मिश्री छिमेकीहरूसित सुन र चाँदीको चीजहरू अनि लुगाहरू माग्ने छन्। तिमीहरूले ती चीजहरू तिमीहरूका छोरा-छोरीहरूलाई लगाईदिने छौ। यस प्रकार तिमीहरूले मिश्रबाट सम्पत्ति लिएर आउनेछौ।”
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.
2 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto 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.
3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4 And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
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.
7 And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
8 And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
11 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12 And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto 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 unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
16 Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:
17 And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.
18 And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto 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.
19 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.
20 And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go.
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:
22 But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth 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 spoil the Egyptians.
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.
