Genesis 33
1 Now Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming toward him with four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two maidservants.
याकूबले माथि हेर्दा एसाव आउँदै थिए, र तिनीसित चार सय मानिस थिए । तिनले आफ्ना छोराछोरीहरूलाई लेआ, राहेल र दुई जना कमारीको बिचमा विभाजन गरे ।
2 He put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
तब तिनले कमारीहरू र तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीहरूलाई अग्रपङ्क्तिमा राखे; त्यसपछि लेआ र उनका छोराछोरीहरू अनि अन्त्यमा राहेल र योसेफलाई राखे ।
3 But Jacob himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.
तिनी आफैचाहिँ तिनीहरूभन्दा अगिअगि गए । तिनी आफ्ना दाजुको नजिक नआउञ्जेलसम्म तिनले सात पटक भुइँमा शिर निहुर्याउँदै गए ।
4 Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.
एसाव याकूबलाई भेट्न दौडिए; अङ्गालो हाले; अङ्कमाल गरे र चुम्बन गरे । त्यसपछि तिनीहरू रोए ।
5 When Esau looked up and saw the women and children, he asked, “Who are these with you?” Jacob answered, “These are the children God has graciously given your servant.”
एसावले हेर्दा तिनले स्त्रीहरू र केटाकेटीहरूलाई देखे । तिनले भने, “तिमीसँगै आएका यी मानिसहरू को हुन्?” याकूबले भने, “तपाईंका दासलाई परमेश्वरले अनुग्रहसाथ दिनुभएका छोराछोरीहरू हुन् ।”
6 Then the maidservants and their children approached and bowed down.
त्यसपछि आ-आफ्ना छोराछोरीहरू लिएर कमारीहरू आएर एसावलाई ढोग गरे ।
7 Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.
अनि लेआ र उनका छोराछोरीहरू आएर ढोग गरे । अन्त्यमा योसेफ र राहेल आएर ढोग गरे ।
8 “What do you mean by sending this whole company to meet me?” asked Esau. “To find favor in your sight, my lord,” Jacob answered.
एसावले भने, “मैले भेटेका यी सबै दलको अर्थ के हो?” याकूबले जवाफ दिए, “मेरा मालिकको दृष्टिमा निगाह प्राप्त गर्नलाई हो ।”
9 “I already have plenty, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what belongs to you.”
एसावले भने, “मेरा भाइ, मसित प्रशस्त छ । तिम्रो जे हो, ती आफैसित राख ।”
10 But Jacob insisted, “No, please! If I have found favor in your sight, then receive this gift from my hand. For indeed, I have seen your face, and it is like seeing the face of God, since you have received me favorably.
याकूबले भने, “त्यसो होइन । मैले तपाईंको दृष्टिमा निगाह पाएको छु भने मेरो हातबाट उपहार ग्रहण गर्नुहोस् । किनभने मैले तपाईंको मुहार देखेको छु, र यो परमेश्वरको मुहार देखेजस्तै भएको छ र तपाईंले मलाई ग्रहण गर्नुभएको छ ।
11 Please accept my gift that was brought to you, because God has been gracious to me and I have all I need.” So Jacob pressed him until he accepted.
कृपया, तपाईंको लागि ल्याइएको यो उपहारलाई ग्रहण गर्नुहोस् किनभने परमेश्वरले मसित अनुग्रहसाथ व्यवहार गर्नुभएको छ, र मसित प्रशस्तै छ ।” यसरी याकूबले बिन्ती गरेपछि एसावले त्यसलाई स्वीकार गरे ।
12 Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way, and I will go ahead of you.”
तब एसावले भने, “हामी आफ्नो बाटो लागौँ । म तिम्रो अगिअगि जानेछु ।”
13 But Jacob replied, “My lord knows that the children are frail, and I must care for sheep and cattle that are nursing their young. If they are driven hard for even a day, all the animals will die.
याकूबले तिनलाई भने, “मेरा मालिकलाई थाहै छ, कि यी केटाकेटीहरू सानै छन् र यी गाईबस्तुहरूले दुध चुसाउँदै छन् । तिनीहरूलाई एकै दिन मात्र बेसरी धपाइयो भने ती सबै मर्नेछन् ।
14 Please let my lord go ahead of his servant. I will continue on slowly, at a comfortable pace for the livestock and children, until I come to my lord at Seir.”
यसैले मेरा मालिक आफ्ना दासभन्दा अगिअगि जानुहोस् भनी म बिन्ती गर्दछु । सेइरमा मेरा मालिककहाँ नआइपुगुञ्जेलसम्म म गाईबस्तुको चाल र केटाकेटीहरूको चालमा निकै बिस्तारै हिँड्नेछु ।
15 “Let me leave some of my people with you,” Esau said. But Jacob replied, “Why do that? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
एसावले भने, “म तिमीसित भएका केही मानिसहरूसित मेरा केही मानिसहरू छाडिदिन्छु ।” तर याकूबले भने, “किन त्यसो गर्ने?” मेरा मालिकको दृष्टिमा मैले निगाह पाए त भइहाल्यो नि ।”
16 So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir,
त्यसैले त्यही दिन एसाव सेइरतर्फ फर्कन आफ्नो बाटो लागे ।
17 but Jacob went on to Succoth, where he built a house for himself and shelters for his livestock; that is why the place was called Succoth.
याकूब सुक्कोततर्फ लागे । त्यहाँ तिनले डेरा हाले र आफ्ना गाईबस्तुहरूका निम्ति छाप्रा हाले । त्यसकारण त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ सुक्कोत राखियो ।
18 After Jacob had come from Paddan-aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem in the land of Canaan, and he camped just outside the city.
याकूब पद्दन-आरामबाट आउँदा तिनी शकेमको सहरमा सुरक्षितसाथ आइपुगे जुन ठाउँ कनान देशमा पर्छ । तिनले सहरनजिकै पाल टाँगे ।
19 And the plot of ground where he pitched his tent, he purchased from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of silver.
त्यसपछि तिनले एक सय चाँदीका सिक्कामा शकेमका पिता हमोरका छोराहरूबाट एउटा जग्गा किने र त्यहीँ नै आफ्नो पाल टाँगे ।
20 There he set up an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
त्यहाँ तिनले एउटा वेदी बनाए र त्यसको नाउँ एल-एलोह-एस्राएल राखे ।
