< Genesis 25 >

1 Now Abraham had taken another wife, named Keturah,
अब्राहामले अर्की एउटी पत्‍नी विवाह गरे ।
2 and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
तिनको नाउँ कतूरा थियो । तिनले अब्राहामबाट जिम्रान, योक्षान, मदान, मिद्यान, यिशबाक र शूहलाई जन्‍माइन्‌ ।
3 Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Asshurites, the Letushites, and the Leummites.
योक्षान शेबा र ददानका पिता भए । अश्‍शूरी, लतूशी र लऊम्‍मीहरू ददानका सन्‍तान थिए ।
4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah.
मिद्यानका छोराहरूचाहिँ एपा, एपेर, हानोक, अबीदा र एल्‍दा थिए । यी सबै कतूराका सन्‍तान थिए ।
5 Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.
अब्राहामले आफूसँग भएका सबै थोक इसहाकलाई दिए ।
6 But while he was still alive, Abraham gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the east.
तर आफू जीवित छँदै तिनका उपपत्‍नीपट्टिका छोराहरूलाई उनले उपहारहरू दिए, र आफ्‍ना छोरा इसहाकबाट छुट्‍याएर तिनीहरूलाई पूर्व देशतिर पठाए ।
7 Abraham lived a total of 175 years.
अब्राहाम जम्‍मा एक सय पचहत्तर वर्षसम्‍म बाँचे ।
8 And at a ripe old age he breathed his last and died, old and contented, and was gathered to his people.
अब्राहाम पुरा जीवन जिएर बुढ़ेसकालमा मरे, र आफ्‍ना मरेका पिता-पुर्खाहरूसँग मिल्‍न गए ।
9 His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite.
तिनका छोराहरू इसहाक र इश्‍माएलले तिनलाई हित्ती सोहोरको छोरा एप्रोनको खेतमा भएको मम्रेनजिकको मक्‍पेलाको ओडारमा गाडे ।
10 This was the field that Abraham had bought from the Hittites. Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah.
त्‍यो खेत अब्राहामले हेतका छोराहरूबाट किनेका थिए । अब्राहाम आफ्‍नी पत्‍नी सारासित त्‍यहीँ नै गाडिए ।
11 After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near Beer-lahai-roi.
अब्राहामको मृत्‍युपछि परमेश्‍वरले तिनका छोरा इसहाकलाई आशिष्‌ दिनुभयो, र इसहाक बेअर-लहै-रोइ नजिकै बसोबास गरे ।
12 This is the account of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham.
साराकी कमारी मिश्री हागारपट्टिबाट जन्‍मेको अब्राहामको छोरो इश्‍माएलका सन्तान यिनै थिए ।
13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael in the order of their birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
जन्‍म क्रमको सूचीअनुसार इश्‍माएलका छोराहरूका नाउँ यी नै थिएः इश्‍माएलको जेठो छोरो नबायोत, केदार, अदबेल,
14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
मिब्‍साम, मिश्‍मा, दुमा, मस्‍सा,
15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
हदद, तेमा, यतूर, नापीश र केदमा ।
16 These were the sons of Ishmael, and these were their names by their villages and encampments—twelve princes of their tribes.
इश्‍माएलका छोराहरू यी नै थिए । तिनीहरूका बस्‍ती र छाउनीहरूअनुसार ती बाह्र कुलनायकका नाउँ यी नै थिए ।
17 Ishmael lived a total of 137 years. Then he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.
इश्‍माएलको जम्‍मा उमेर एक सय सैँतिस वर्ष हुँदा तिनको मृत्‍यु भयो र तिनी आफ्‍ना पिता-पुर्खाहरूसँगै मिल्‍न गए ।
18 Ishmael’s descendants settled from Havilah to Shur, which is near the border of Egypt as you go toward Asshur. And they lived in hostility toward all their brothers.
तिनीहरूको बसोबास मिश्रको सिमानानजिक भएको अश्‍शूर देशतिर पर्ने हवीलादेखि शूरसम्‍म थियो । तिनीहरू एक-अर्काको शत्रुतामा बसे ।
19 This is the account of Abraham’s son Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
अब्राहामका छोरा इसहाकको वृत्तान्‍त यही हो । अब्राहाम इसहाकका पिता भए ।
20 and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram and the sister of Laban the Aramean.
पद्दन-आरामका अरामी बतूएलकी छोरी अरामी लाबानकी बहिनी रिबेकासँग विवाह गर्दा इसहाक जम्मा चालिस वर्षका थिए ।
21 Later, Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was barren. And the LORD heard his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived.
तिनी बाँझी भएकी हुनाले इसहाकले आफ्‍नी पत्‍नीको निम्‍ति परमप्रभुसँग प्रार्थना गरे । परमप्रभुले तिनको प्रार्थना सुन्‍नुभयो, र तिनकी पत्‍नी रिबेका गर्भवती भइन्‌ ।
22 But the children inside her struggled with each other, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” So Rebekah went to inquire of the LORD,
तिनको गर्भमा भएका बालकहरू एक-अर्कासँग लड्न लागे, र तिनले भनिन् “मलाई किन यस्‍तो भयो?” तिनले यसको बारेमा परमप्रभुसँग सोधिन् ।
23 and He declared to her: “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.”
परमप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तेरो कोखमा दुई जाति छन्, तेरो गर्भदेखि नै दुई जाति छुट्टिनेछन् । एक जाति अर्कोभन्‍दा बलवान्‌ हुनेछ, र जेठाले कान्‍छाको सेवा गर्नेछ ।”
24 When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her womb.
तिनको सुत्‍केरी हुने बेला आउँदा तिनको कोखमा जुम्‍ल्‍याहा थिए ।
25 The first one came out red, covered with hair like a fur coat; so they named him Esau.
जेठोचाहिँ शरीरभरि रौँको लुगा लगाएजस्‍तै रातो वर्णको जन्‍म्‍यो । तिनीहरूले त्‍यसको नाउँ एसाव राखे ।
26 After this, his brother came out grasping Esau’s heel; so he was named Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when the twins were born.
त्‍यसपछि त्‍यसको भाइ बाहिर निस्क्यो । त्यसको हातले एसावको कुर्कुच्‍चा समातिरहेको थियो । त्‍यसको नाउँ याकूब राखियो । इसाहककी पत्‍नीले तिनीहरूलाई जन्‍माउँदा तिनी साठी वर्ष पुगेका थिए ।
27 When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home.
बालकहरू बढे, र एसावचाहिँ सिपालु सिकारी र मैदानमा डुलिहिँड्‌ने मानिस भए, र याकूबचाहिँ पालमा बसिरहने शान्‍त स्‍वभावका मानिस भए ।
28 Because Isaac had a taste for wild game, he loved Esau; but Rebekah loved Jacob.
इसहाकले एसावलाई माया गर्थे, किनभने उनले शिकार गरेर ल्‍याएको मासु तिनले खान पाउँथे । तर रिबेकाले चाहिँ याकूबलाई माया गर्थिन्‌ ।
29 One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the field and was famished.
याकूबले सुरुवा पकाए । एसाव मैदानबाट आए, र उनी भोकले कमजोर भएका थिए ।
30 He said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am famished.” (That is why he was also called Edom.)
एसावले याकूबलाई भने, “कृपया, मलाई त्‍यो रातो सुरुवा खान देऊ, म थकित छु ।” यसैकारण उनलाई एदोम भनियो ।
31 “First sell me your birthright,” Jacob replied.
याकूबले भने, “पहिले तपाईंको ज्‍येष्‍ठ-अधिकार मलाई बेच्‍नुहोस्‌ ।”
32 “Look,” said Esau, “I am about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?”
एसावले भने, “हेर, म त मर्नै आँटेको छु । मलाई त्‍यो ज्‍येष्‍ठ-अधिकारको के काम?”
33 “Swear to me first,” Jacob said. So Esau swore to Jacob and sold him the birthright.
याकूबले भने, “पहिले मसँग शपथ खानुहोस् ।” तब एसावले शपथ खाए, र यसरी उनले आफ्‍नो ज्‍येष्‍ठ-अधिकार याकूबलाई बेचे ।
34 Then Jacob gave some bread and lentil stew to Esau, who ate and drank and then got up and went away. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
याकूबले एसावलाई रोटी र दालको सुरुवा दिए । एसावले खानपान गरे अनि उठेर आफ्‍नो बाटो लागे । यसरी एसावले आफ्‍नो ज्‍येष्‍ठ-अधिकारलाई लत्त्याए ।
