< Genesis 49 >

1 Then Jacob called for his sons and said, “Gather around so that I can tell you what will happen to you in the days to come:
तब याकूबले आफ्‍ना छोराहरूलाई बोलाएर भनेः “तिमीहरू यहाँ जम्‍मा होओ, ताकि भविष्यमा तिमीहरूमाथि के आइपर्नेछ सो म तिमीहरूलाई भनूँ ।
2 Come together and listen, O sons of Jacob; listen to your father Israel.
हे याकूबका छोरा हो, जम्‍मा भएर सुन, तिमीहरूका बुबा इस्राएलका कुरा सुन ।
3 Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, excelling in honor, excelling in power.
रूबेन, तँ मेरो जेठो छोरो होस्, मेरो शक्ति र मेरो बलको सुरु, गौरव र शक्तिमा उत्कृष्‍ट ।
4 Uncontrolled as the waters, you will no longer excel, because you went up to your father’s bed, onto my couch, and defiled it.
बग्‍ने पानीजस्‍तो चञ्‍चल, तेरो प्रतिष्‍ठा रहनेछैन, किनभने तँ तेरा बुबाको ओछ्यानमा चढिस् । अनि त्यसलाई अशुद्ध पारिस्‌; तँ मेरो पलङ्गमा चढ़िस्‌ ।
5 Simeon and Levi are brothers; their swords are weapons of violence.
शिमियोन र लेवी दाजुभाइ हुन् । हिंसाका हतियार नै तिनीहरूका तरवार हुन् ।
6 May I never enter their council; may I never join their assembly. For they kill men in their anger, and hamstring oxen on a whim.
ए मेरो प्राण, तिनीहरूको सभामा नआइज, तिनीहरूको बैठकमा नबस् किनकि मेरो हृदयमा त्यसको निम्ति अत्यन्तै श्रद्धा छ । किनकि तिनीहरूलेआफ्‍नो रिसमा मानिसहरूलाई मारे । तिनीहरूले आफ्नो आनन्दको निम्ति गोरुहरूका ढोडनसा काटेका छन्‌ ।
7 Cursed be their anger, for it is strong, and their wrath, for it is cruel! I will disperse them in Jacob and scatter them in Israel.
तिनीहरूको रिस श्रापित् होस्, किनभने त्‍यो भयानक छ, र तिनीहरूको क्रोध पनि श्रापित् होस् किनकि त्‍यो निष्‍ठुर छ । तिनीहरूलाई म याकूबमा विभाजन गर्नेछु, इस्राएलमा तितरबितर पार्नेछु ।
8 Judah, your brothers shall praise you. Your hand shall be on the necks of your enemies; your father’s sons shall bow down to you.
ए यहूदा, तेरा दाजुभाइहरूले तेरो प्रशंसा गर्नेछन् । तेरा हात तेरा शत्रुहरूका गर्दनमा हुनेछन् । तेरा बुबाका छोराहरू तेरो सामुन्‍ने निहुरिनेछन्‌ ।
9 Judah is a young lion— my son, you return from the prey. Like a lion he crouches and lies down; like a lioness, who dares to rouse him?
यहूदा सिंहको डमरु हो । ए मेरो छोरो, तँ तेरो शिकारभन्दा उच्‍च भएको छस् । त्यो निहुरियो, सिंह र सिंहनीझैँ झुक्यो । कसले त्‍यसलाई उठाउने आँट गर्छ?
10 The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the staff from between his feet, until Shiloh comes and the allegiance of the nations is his.

11 He ties his donkey to the vine, his colt to the choicest branch. He washes his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.

जसले असल विश्रामको ठाउँ असल र रमाइलो देश देख्छ । त्‍यसले भारी बोक्‍नलाई आफ्‍नो काँध झुकाउनेछ, र काम गर्ने नोकर बन्‍नेछ ।

इस्राएलका कुलमध्‍ये एउटा कुल भएर दानले आफ्‍ना मानिसहरूको न्‍याय गर्नेछ ।
17 He will be a snake by the road, a viper in the path that bites the horse’s heels so that its rider tumbles backward.
दान बाटोको छेउमा भएको एउटा सर्प, अर्थात् घोडाको कुर्कुच्‍चा डस्‍ने विषालु सर्प हुनेछ र त्‍यसको घोडचढी पछिल्‍तिर लोट्‌छ ।

26 The blessings of your father have surpassed the blessings of the ancient mountains and the bounty of the everlasting hills. May they rest on the head of Joseph, on the brow of the prince of his brothers.
तेरा बुबाका आशीर्वादहरू प्राचीन पहाडहरूका आशीर्वादभन्‍दा महान् छन् वा प्राचीन डाँडाहरूका वाञ्छनीय कुरा हुन्छन् । ती सबै योसेफको शिरमा होऊन्, त्‍यसका दाजुभाइहरूमध्‍येका प्रधानको शिरमा पनि ।

29 Then Jacob instructed them, “I am about to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave in the field of Ephron the Hittite.
तब तिनले तिनीहरूलाई यो आज्ञा दिएर यसो भने “म त मेरा मानिसहरूकहाँ मिल्‍न जान लागेको छु । हित्ती एप्रोनको खेतमा भएको ओडारमा मेरा पिता-पुर्खाहरूका साथमा मलाई गाड,
30 The cave is in the field of Machpelah near Mamre, in the land of Canaan. This is the field Abraham purchased from Ephron the Hittite as a burial site.
अर्थात्‌ कनान देशमा मम्रेनेरको मक्‍पेलाको खेतमा भएको ओडार, जुन अब्राहामले हित्ती एप्रोनको हातबाट खेतसमेत चिहान बनाउनलाई किनेका थिए ।
31 There Abraham and his wife Sarah are buried, there Isaac and his wife Rebekah are buried, and there I buried Leah.
उनीहरूले अब्राहाम र तिनकी पत्‍नी सारालाई त्यहीँ गाडे । त्‍यहीँ नै उनीहरूले इसहाक र तिनकी पत्‍नी रिबेकालाई पनि गाडे । त्‍यहीँ नै मैले लेआलाई गाडेँ ।
32 The field and the cave that is in it were purchased from the Hittites.”
त्‍यो खेत र त्‍यहाँ भएको ओडार हित्तीहरूको हातबाट किनिएको थियो ।”
33 When Jacob had finished instructing his sons, he pulled his feet into the bed and breathed his last, and he was gathered to his people.
छोराहरूलाई यो आज्ञा दिइसकेपछि याकूबले आफ्‍ना खुट्टा ओछ्यानमा पसारेर आफ्‍नो प्राण त्‍यागे, र आफ्‍ना पिता-पुर्खाहरूसँग मिल्‍न गए ।
