Genesis 32
1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
याकूब पनि आफ्नो बाटो लागे, र परमेश्वरका दूतहरूले तिनीसित भेट गरे ।
2 And Jacob said when he saw them, This is God’s host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
याकूबले तिनीहरूलाई देखेपछि तिनले भने, “यो त परमेश्वरको शिविर हो ।” त्यसैले तिनले त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ महनोम राखे ।
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
याकूबले एदोमको क्षेत्रमा पर्ने सेइर देशमा आफ्ना दाजु एसावकहाँ आफूभन्दा अगिअगि सन्देशवाहकहरू पठाए ।
4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye say unto my lord Esau: Thus saith thy servant Jacob, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed until now:
तिनले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भनी आज्ञा दिए, “तिमीहरूले मेरा मालिक एसावलाई यसो भन्नेछौः तपाईंका दास याकूब यसो भन्छन्, 'म लाबानसित बस्दै आएकोले अहिलेसम्म आउन ढिलो भएको हो ।
5 and I have oxen, and asses, [and] flocks, and men-servants, and maid-servants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in thy sight.
मेरा गोरुहरू, गधाहरू, बगालहरू, कमारा-कमारीहरू छन् । तपाईंको दृष्टिमा मैले निगाह पाउन सकूँ भनी मैले मेरा मालिकलाई यो खबर पठाएको छु' ।”
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and moreover he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
याकूबकहाँ फर्की सन्देशवाहकहरूले यसो भने, “हामी तपाईंका दाजु एसावकहाँ गयौँ । उहाँ चार सय जना मानिससहित तपाईंलाई भेट्न आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।”
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed: and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two companies;
तब याकूब ज्यादै भयभीत भए र आत्तिए । त्यसैले तिनले आफूसित भएका मानिसहरू, बगालहरू, बथानहरू र ऊँटहरूलाई दल-दल गरी दुई भागमा विभाजन गरे ।
8 and he said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the company which is left shall escape.
तिनले भने, “एसावले आएर एउटा दललाई अाक्रमण गरे भने बाँकी रहेको दल भाग्नेछ ।
9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O Jehovah, who saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will do thee good:
याकूबले भने, “मेरा पिता अब्राहामका परमेश्वर, मेरा पिता इसहाकका परमेश्वर यहोवेले मलाई भन्नुभयो, 'तेरो देश र तेरो कुटुम्बकहाँ फर्केर जा, म तेरो उन्नति गराउनेछु ।'
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the lovingkindnesses, and of all the truth, which thou hast showed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two companies.
तपाईंका दासको निम्ति तपाईंले गर्नुभएका करारको विश्वासयोग्यता र भरोसाका सबै कार्यको निम्ति म योग्यको छैनँ । किनकि यही लौरो लिएर मात्र मैले यर्दन तरेँ, र अहिले मेरा दुईवटा दल छन् ।
11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he come and smite me, the mother with the children.
कृपया, मलाई मेरा दाजु एसावको हातबाट छुटकारा दिनुहोस् किनकि तिनी आएर मलगायत मेरी पत्नीहरू र छोराछोरीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्छन् कि भनेर म तिनीदेखि डराएको छु ।
12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
तर तपाईंले भन्नुभयो, 'निश्चय नै, म तेरो उन्नति गराउनेछु । म तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई गन्नै नसकिने गरी समुद्रको बालुवासरह तुल्याउनेछु' ।”
13 And he lodged there that night, and took of that which he had with him a present for Esau his brother:
त्यस रात याकूब त्यहीँ बसे । आफ्ना दाजु एसावलाई उपहारस्वरूप दिनलाई तिनले आफूसित भएका केही थोकहरू अलग गरे जुन यिनै थिएः
14 two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
दुई सयवटा बाख्री, बिसवटा बोका,
15 thirty milch camels and their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten foals.
तिसवटा दुध दिने ऊँट र तिनीहरूका बच्चा, चालिसवटा गाई र दसवटा साँढे, बिसवटा गधैनी र दसवटा गधा ।
16 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
तिनले बथान-बथान गरी यी सबै आफ्ना कमाराहरूको जिम्मा लगाइदिए । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “मेरो अगिअगि जाओ र हरेक बथानको बिचमा खाली ठाउँ राख ।”
17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?
तिनले पहिलो कमारोलाई यसो भन्दै निर्देशन दिए, “मेरा दाजु एसावले तँलाई भेटेर 'तँ कसको होस्? तँ कहाँ जाँदै छस्? तेरो अगिअगि आएका यी पशुहरू कसका हुन्? भनेर सोधे भने
18 then thou shalt say, [They are] thy servant Jacob’s; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, he also is behind us.
तैँले यसो भन्, 'यी तपाईंका दास याकूबका हुन् । यी मेरा मालिक याकूबलाई उपहारस्वरूप पठाइएका हुन् । हेर्नुहोस्, उहाँ पनि हाम्रो पछिपछि आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ' ।”
19 And he commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him;
दोस्रो दल, तेस्रो दल अनि बगालहरूको पछिपछि लाग्ने सबै मानिसलाई पनि याकूबले निर्देशन दिए । तिनले भने, “तिमीहरूले एसावलाई भेट्दा उही कुरो भन्नू ।
20 and ye shall say, Moreover, behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept me.
तिमीहरूले यसो पनि भन्नू, 'तपाईंका दास याकूब हाम्रो पछिपछि आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ' ।” किनकि तिनले यस्तो सोचे, “मैले मेरो अगिअगि पठाएका उपहारहरूले म तिनलाई खुसी पार्नेछु । त्यसपछि मैले तिनलाई भेट्दा सायद तिनले मलाई स्वीकार गर्नेछन् ।”
21 So the present passed over before him: and he himself lodged that night in the company.
त्यसैले उपहारहरू तिनको अगिअगि पठाइए । तिनी आफैचाहिँ त्यस रात शिविरमा नै बसे ।
22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two handmaids, and his eleven children, and passed over the ford of the Jabbok.
रातमा याकूब निद्राबाट ब्युँझे । आफ्ना दुई पत्नी, तिनीहरूका कमारीहरू र एघार जना छोरा लिएर तिनी प्रस्थान गरे । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई यब्बोक खोला पारि पठाए ।
23 And he took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
यसरी तिनले आफ्ना सबै सम्पत्ति खोला पारि पठाए ।
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
याकूब एक्लै रहे, र एक जना मानिसले तिनीसित सूर्योदय नभएसम्म कुस्ती खेले ।
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained, as he wrestled with him.
ती मानिसले याकूबलाई जित्न नसक्ने देखेपछि तिनले याकूबको कम्मरको खोक्रो भागमा प्रहार गरे । याकूब तिनीसित कुस्ती खेल्दा तिनको कम्मरको गेडी फुस्क्यो ।
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
ती मानिसले भने, “मलाई जान देऊ किनकि उज्यालो हुँदै छ ।” याकूबले भने, “तपाईंले मलाई आशिष् नदिउञ्जेलसम्म म तपाईंलाई जान दिन्नँ ।”
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
ती मानिसले तिनलाई भने, “तिम्रो नाउँ के हो?” याकूबले जवाफ दिए, “याकूब ।”
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for thou hast striven with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
ती मानिसले भने, “अबदेखि उसो तिम्रो नाउँ याकूब नभई इस्राएल हुनेछ । किनकि तिमीले परमेश्वर र मानिसहरूसित कुस्ती खेली जित हासिल गरेका छौ ।”
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
याकूबले तिनलाई सोधे, “कृपया, मलाई तपाईंको नाउँ बताइदिनुहोस् ।” तिनले भने, “किन तिमी मेरो नाउँ सोध्छौ?” त्यसपछि त्यहाँ तिनले याकूबलाई आशिष् दिए ।
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for, [said he], I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
याकूबले त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ पनीएल राखे किनकि तिनले भने, “मैले परमेश्वरलाई आमने-सामने देखेर पनि मेरो ज्यान जोगिएको छ ।”
31 And the sun rose upon him as he passed over Penuel, and he limped upon his thigh.
याकूबले पनीएल पार गर्दा सूर्योदय भइसकेको थियो । तिनको कम्मरको कारणले गर्दा तिनी खोच्याएर हिँड्दै थिए ।
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not the sinew of the hip which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew of the hip.
यसैकारण आजको दिनसम्म इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले कम्मरको नसा खाँदैनन् किनकि ती मानिसले याकूबको कम्मरको गेडी फुस्काउँदा ती नसाहरूमा चोट पुर्याएका थिए ।
