< Genesis 49 >

1 And Jacob sent for his sons, and said, Come together, all of you, so that I may give you news of your fate in future times.
तब याकूबले आफ्‍ना छोराहरूलाई बोलाएर भनेः “तिमीहरू यहाँ जम्‍मा होओ, ताकि भविष्यमा तिमीहरूमाथि के आइपर्नेछ सो म तिमीहरूलाई भनूँ ।
2 Come near, O sons of Jacob, and give ear to the words of Israel your father.
हे याकूबका छोरा हो, जम्‍मा भएर सुन, तिमीहरूका बुबा इस्राएलका कुरा सुन ।
3 Reuben, you are my oldest son, the first-fruit of my strength, first in pride and first in power:
रूबेन, तँ मेरो जेठो छोरो होस्, मेरो शक्ति र मेरो बलको सुरु, गौरव र शक्तिमा उत्कृष्‍ट ।
4 But because you were uncontrolled, the first place will not be yours; for you went up to your father's bed, even his bride-bed, and made it unclean.
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; deceit and force are their secret designs.
शिमियोन र लेवी दाजुभाइ हुन् । हिंसाका हतियार नै तिनीहरूका तरवार हुन् ।
6 Take no part in their secrets, O my soul; keep far away, O my heart, from their meetings; for in their wrath they put men to death, and for their pleasure even oxen were wounded.
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 A curse on their passion for it was bitter; and on their wrath for it was cruel. I will let their heritage in Jacob be broken up, driving them from their places 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 To you, Judah, will your brothers give praise: your hand will be on the neck of your haters; your father's sons will go down to the earth before 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; like a lion full of meat you have become great, my son; now he takes his rest like a lion stretched out and like an old lion; by whom will his sleep be broken?
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 rod of authority will not be taken from Judah, and he will not be without a law-giver, till he comes who has the right to it, and the peoples will put themselves under his rule.
यहूदाको हातबाट राजदण्‍ड हट्‌नेछैन, न त राज्‍य चलाउनेको लाठी त्‍यसका खुट्टाका बिचबाट हट्‌नेछ, जबसम्‍म त्‍यसका मालिक आउँदैनन्‌ । जातिहरूले उहाँको आज्ञा मान्‍नेछन् ।
11 Knotting his ass's cord to the vine, and his young ass to the best vine; washing his robe in wine, and his clothing in the blood of grapes:
त्‍यसको गधालाई दाखको बोटमा, र गधाको बछेड़ोलाई चाहिँ उत्तम जातको हाँगामा बाँधेर त्‍यसले आफ्‍ना लुगाहरू दाखमद्यमा, आफ्‍ना पोशाक अङ्‌गुरको रसमा धुनेछ ।
12 His eyes will be dark with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
त्‍यसका आँखा दाखमद्यजस्तै गाढा, र त्‍यसका दाँत दुधजस्ता सेता हुनेछन्‌ ।
13 The resting-place of Zebulun will be by the sea, and he will be a harbour for ships; the edge of his land will be by Zidon.
जबूलून समुद्रको किनारमा बस्‍नेछ । जहाजहरूका निम्‍ति त्‍यो बन्‍दरगाह हुनेछ, र त्‍यसको सिमाना सीदोनसम्‍म हुनेछ ।
14 Issachar is a strong ass stretched out among the flocks:
इस्‍साखार दुई भारीहरूका बिचमा लेटिरहने बलियो गधा हो ।
15 And he saw that rest was good and the land was pleasing; so he let them put weights on his back and became a servant.
जसले असल विश्रामको ठाउँ असल र रमाइलो देश देख्छ । त्‍यसले भारी बोक्‍नलाई आफ्‍नो काँध झुकाउनेछ, र काम गर्ने नोकर बन्‍नेछ ।
16 Dan will be the judge of his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
इस्राएलका कुलमध्‍ये एउटा कुल भएर दानले आफ्‍ना मानिसहरूको न्‍याय गर्नेछ ।
17 May Dan be a snake in the way, a horned snake by the road, biting the horse's foot so that the horseman has a fall.
दान बाटोको छेउमा भएको एउटा सर्प, अर्थात् घोडाको कुर्कुच्‍चा डस्‍ने विषालु सर्प हुनेछ र त्‍यसको घोडचढी पछिल्‍तिर लोट्‌छ ।
18 I have been waiting for your salvation, O Lord.
हे परमप्रभु, म तपाईंको उद्धारको प्रतीक्षा गर्छु ।
19 Gad, an army will come against him, but he will come down on them in their flight.
गादमाथि आक्रमण गर्नेले त्यसलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछ, तर त्‍यसले तिनीहरूको कुर्कुच्‍चामा आक्रमण गर्नेछ ।
20 Asher's bread is fat; he gives delicate food for kings.
आशेरको अनाज प्रशस्त हुनेछ, र त्‍यसले राजकीय खाना उपलब्ध गराउनेछ ।
21 Naphtali is a roe let loose, giving fair young ones.
नप्‍ताली सुन्दर पाठापाठी पाउने फुकाइएकी मुडुली-मृग हो ।
22 Joseph is a young ox, whose steps are turned to the fountain;
योसेफ एउटा फलवन्त लहरा हो, पानीको मूलनेर भएको फल दिने लहरा, जसका हाँगाहरू पर्खालमाथि फैलिन्‍छन्‌ ।
23 He was troubled by the archers; they sent out their arrows against him, cruelly wounding him:
धनुर्धारीहरूले त्‍यसलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछन् र त्‍यसमाथि काँड चलाउनेछन्, र त्यसलाई सताउनेछन् ।
24 But their bows were broken by a strong one, and the cords of their arms were cut by the Strength of Jacob, by the name of the Stone of Israel:
तापनि त्‍यसको धनु स्थिर रहनेछ, र याकूबका शक्तिशाली परमेश्‍वरका हातको कारण र ती गोठाला अर्थात् इस्राएलको चट्टानद्वारा त्‍यसका हातहरू सिपालु हुनेछन्, ती गोठाला, इस्राएलको चट्टानद्वारा ।
25 Even by the God of your father, who will be your help, and by the Ruler of all, who will make you full with blessings from heaven on high, blessings of the deep stretched out under the earth, blessings of the breasts and of the fertile body:
तेरा बुबाका परमेश्‍वरले तँलाई सहायता गर्नुहुन्‍छ, र सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्‍वरले माथि स्‍वर्गका आशिष्‌हरू, तल अगाधका आशिष्‌हरू, अनि स्‍तन र गर्भका आशिष्‌हरूले आशिषित्् तुल्याउनुहुनेछ ।
26 Blessings of sons, old and young, to the father: blessings of the oldest mountains and the fruit of the eternal hills: let them come on the head of Joseph, on the crown of him who was separate from 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 ।
27 Benjamin is a wolf, searching for meat: in the morning he takes his food, and in the evening he makes division of what he has taken.
बेन्‍यामीन एउटा भोको ब्‍वाँसो हो । बिहान त्यसले शिकार खान्‍छ, र बेलुकीचाहिँ त्‍यसले लुट बाँड्छ ।
28 These are the twelve tribes of Israel: and these are the words their father said to them, blessing them; to every one he gave his blessing.
यी इस्राएलका बाह्र कुल हुन्‌ । आफ्‍ना बुबाले तिनीहरूलाई आशीर्वाद दिँदा भनेका कुरा यही हो । प्रत्‍येकलाई तिनले सुहाउँदो आशीर्वाद दिए ।
29 And he gave orders to them, saying, Put me to rest with my people and with my fathers, in the hollow of the rock 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 In the rock in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre in the land of Canaan, which Abraham got from Ephron the Hittite, to be his resting-place.
अर्थात्‌ कनान देशमा मम्रेनेरको मक्‍पेलाको खेतमा भएको ओडार, जुन अब्राहामले हित्ती एप्रोनको हातबाट खेतसमेत चिहान बनाउनलाई किनेका थिए ।
31 There Abraham and Sarah his wife were put to rest, and there they put Isaac and Rebekah his wife, and there I put Leah to rest.
उनीहरूले अब्राहाम र तिनकी पत्‍नी सारालाई त्यहीँ गाडे । त्‍यहीँ नै उनीहरूले इसहाक र तिनकी पत्‍नी रिबेकालाई पनि गाडे । त्‍यहीँ नै मैले लेआलाई गाडेँ ।
32 In the rock in the field which was got for a price from the people of Heth.
त्‍यो खेत र त्‍यहाँ भएको ओडार हित्तीहरूको हातबाट किनिएको थियो ।”
33 And when Jacob had come to the end of these words to his sons, stretching himself on his bed, he gave up his spirit, and went the way of his people.
छोराहरूलाई यो आज्ञा दिइसकेपछि याकूबले आफ्‍ना खुट्टा ओछ्यानमा पसारेर आफ्‍नो प्राण त्‍यागे, र आफ्‍ना पिता-पुर्खाहरूसँग मिल्‍न गए ।
