< Genesis 41 >
1 And it came to pass after two full years that Pharao had a dream. He thought he stood upon [the bank of] the river.
दुई वर्षको अन्त्यमा फारोले एउटा सपना देखे । तिनी नील नदीको किनारमा उभिए ।
2 And behold, there came up as it were out of the river seven cows, fair in appearance, and choice of flesh, and they fed on the sedge.
नील नदीबाट सातवटा सप्रेका र मोटा-मोटा गाई निस्केर आए, अनि तिनीहरू नर्कटको झाडीमा चरे ।
3 And other seven cows came up after these out of the river, ill-favoured and lean-fleshed, and fed by the [other] cows on the bank of the river.
नील नदीबाट अरू सातवटा नसप्रेका र दुब्ला-दुब्ला गाई निस्केर आए । तिनीहरू नदीको किनारमा उभिरहेका पहिलेका गाईहरूसँगै उभिए ।
4 And the seven ill-favoured and lean cows devoured the seven well-favoured and choice-fleshed cows; and Pharao awoke.
त्यसपछि नसप्रेका र दुब्ला-दुब्ला गाईहरूले सातवटा सप्रेका र मोटा-मोटा गाईलाई खाइदिए । अनि फारो ब्युँझे ।
5 And he dreamt again. And, behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, choice and good.
तिनी फेरि सुते र अर्को सपना देखे । सातवटा भरिला र असल अनाजका बाला एउटै डाँठमा उम्रे ।
6 And, behold, seven ears thin and blasted with the wind, grew up after them.
त्यसपछि सेप्रा र पूर्वीय बतासद्वारा ओइलाइएका अरू सातवटा अन्नका बाला तिनीहरू पछि पलाए ।
7 And the seven thin ears and blasted with the wind devoured the seven choice and full ears; and Pharao awoke, and it was a dream.
सेप्रा बालाहरूले ती सातवटा भरिला र असल बालालाई खाइदिए । फारो ब्युँझे, र यो त सपना पो रहेछ भनी तिनलाई थाहा भयो ।
8 And it was morning, and his soul was troubled; and he sent and called all the interpreters of Egypt, and all her wise men; and Pharao related to them his dream, and there was no one to interpret it to Pharao.
बिहान तिनको आत्मा बेचैन भयो । तिनले मिश्रका सबै जादुगर र बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूलाई बोलाउन पठाए । फारोले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्ना सपनाहरू बताए, तर फारोलाई सपनाहरूको अर्थ खोल्न सक्ने त्यहाँ कोही भएन ।
9 And the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharao, saying, I this day remember my fault:
त्यसपछि मुख्य पियाउनेले फारोलाई भने, “आज म मेरो दोषको बारेमा सोच्दै छु ।
10 Pharao was angry with his servants, and put us in prison in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker.
फारो आफ्ना नोकरहरूसित रिसाउनु भई मलाई र मुख्य पकाउनेलाई अङ्गरक्षकका कप्तानको कैदखानामा राख्नुभयो ।
11 And we had a dream both in one night, I and he; we saw, each according to his dream.
तिनी र मैले एउटै रात सपना देख्यौँ । हामीले आ-आफ्नो अर्थ भएका सपना देख्यौँ ।
12 And there was there with us a young man, a Hebrew servant of the captain of the guard; and we related to him [our dreams], and he interpreted [them] to us.
त्यहाँ हामीसित एक जना जवान हिब्रू मानिस थियो जो अङ्गरक्षकका कप्तानको नोकर थियो । हामीले त्यसलाई हाम्रा सपनाहरू बताएपछि त्यसले अर्थ खोलिदियो । त्यसले हामीलाई आ-आफ्ना सपनाअनुसार अर्थ खोलिदियो ।
13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted them to us, so also it happened, both that I was restored to my office, and that he was hanged.
त्यसले हामीलाई अर्थ खोलिदिएअनुसार नै हुन आयो । फारोले मलाई मेरो पदमा पुनर्स्थापना गरिदिनुभयो, तर अर्को मानिसलाई झुण्ड्याइयो ।”
14 And Pharao having sent, called Joseph; and they brought him out from the prison, and shaved him, and changed his dress, and he came to Pharao.
त्यसपछि फारोले योसेफलाई डाक्न पठाए । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई चाँडै नै झ्यालखानाबाट निकालेर ल्याए । तिनले दारी खौरेपछि लुगाहरू बद्लेर फारोकहाँ आए ।
15 And Pharao said to Joseph, I have seen a vision, and there is no one to interpret it; but I have heard say concerning you that you did hear dreams and interpret them.
फारोले योसेफलाई भने, “मैले एउटा सपना देखेँ, तर यसको अर्थ खोल्ने कोही भएन । तर तिमीले सपना सुन्यौ भने यसको अर्थ खोल्न सक्छौ भनी मैले तिम्रो बारेमा सुनेको छु ।”
16 And Joseph answered Pharao and said, Without God an answer of safety shall not be given to Pharao.
योसेफले फारोलाई जवाफ दिए, “ममा यस्तो खुबी त छैन, तर परमेश्वरले फारोलाई निगाहसाथ जवाफ दिनुहुनेछ ।”
17 And Pharao spoke to Joseph, saying, In my dream I thought I stood by the bank of the river;
फारोले योसेफलाई बताए, “मेरो सपनामा म नील नदीको किनारमा उभिएँ ।
18 and there came up as it were out of the river, seven cows well-favoured and choice-fleshed, and they fed on the sedge.
नील नदीबाट सातवटा सप्रेका र मोटा-मोटा गाई निस्केर आए, अनि तिनीहरू नर्कटको झाडीमा चरे ।
19 And behold seven other cows came up after them out of the river, evil and ill-favoured and lean-fleshed, such that I never saw worse in all the land of Egypt.
नील नदीबाट अरू सातवटा कमजोर, नसप्रेका र दुब्ला-दुब्ला गाई निस्केर आए । मैले पुरै मिश्रभरि तीजस्ता नसप्रेका गाईहरू कहिल्यै देखेको छैनँ ।
20 And the seven ill-favoured and thin cows ate up the seven first good and choice cows.
त्यसपछि नसप्रेका र दुब्ला-दुब्ला गाईहरूले सातवटा मोटा-मोटा गाईलाई खाइदिए ।
21 And they went into their bellies; and it was not perceptible that they had gone into their bellies, and their appearance was ill-favoured, as also at the beginning; and after I awoke I slept,
तिनीहरूले ती गाईहरूलाई खाइसकेपछि तिनीहरू खाएका जस्ता देखिँदैनथे किनकि तिनीहरू पहिलेजस्तै अझै पनि नसप्रेका देखिन्थे । त्यसपछि मेरो निद्रा खुल्यो ।
22 and saw again in my sleep, and as it were seven ears came up on one stem, full and good.
मेरो अर्को सपनामा मैले सातवटा भरिला र असल अनाजका बाला एउटै डाँठमा उम्रिरहेका देखेँ ।
23 And other seven ears, thin and blasted with the wind, sprang up close to them.
त्यसपछि सुकेका, सेप्रा र पूर्वीय बतासद्वारा ओइलाइएका अरू सातवटा अन्नका बाला तिनीहरू पछि पलाउन थाले ।
24 And the seven thin and blasted ears devoured the seven fine and full ears: so I spoke to the interpreters, and there was no one to explain it to me.
सेप्रा बालाहरूले ती सातवटा भरिला र असल बालालाई खाइदिए । मैले जादुगरहरूलाई यी सपनाहरू बताएँ, तर मलाई तिनको अर्थ खोलिदिने कोही भएन ।”
25 And Joseph said to Pharao, The dream of Pharao is one; whatever God does, he has shown to Pharao.
योसेफले फारोलाई भने, “फारोका सपनाहरू एउटै हुन् । परमेश्वरले गर्न लाग्नुभएको कुरा उहाँले फारोलाई प्रकट गराउनुभएको छ ।
26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the dream of Pharao is one.
सातवटा असल गाई र सातवटा असल बाला सात वर्ष हुन् । सपनाहरू एउटै हुन् ।
27 And the seven thin kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven thin and blasted ears are seven years; there shall be seven years of famine.
तीपछि आएका सातवटा दुब्ला-दुब्ला र नसप्रेका गाई सात वर्ष हुन्, र पूर्वीय बतासद्वारा ओइल्याइएका सातवटा बाला अनिकालका सात वर्ष हुन् ।
28 And as for the word which I have told Pharao, whatever God intends to do, he has shown to Pharao:
मैले फारोलाई बताएको कुरा यही नै हो । परमेश्वरले गर्न लाग्नुभएको कुरा उहाँले फारोलाई प्रकट गराउनुभएको छ ।
29 behold, for seven years there is coming great plenty in all the land of Egypt.
हेर्नुहोस्, मिश्रदेशभरि ठुलो सहकालको सात वर्ष हुनेछ ।
30 But there shall come seven years of famine after these, and they shall forget the plenty that shall be in all Egypt, and the famine shall consume the land.
त्यसपछि सात वर्षको अनिकाल पर्नेछ, र मिश्रभरि त्यस सात वर्षको सहकालको सम्झना हुनेछैन, अनि अनिकाले देशलाई सखाप पार्नेछ ।
31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of the famine that shall be after this, for it shall be very grievous.
देशमा पछि आउने अनिकालको कारणले गर्दा सहकाललाई सम्झनेछैन किनकि यो अति नै भयानक हुनेछ ।
32 And concerning the repetition of the dream to Pharao twice, [it is] because the saying which is from God shall be true, and God will hasten to accomplish it.
फारोलाई सपना दोहोर्याइनुको कारणचाहिँ यही हो, कि परमेश्वरले यो विषयलाई पक्का गर्नुभएको छ, र उहाँले चाँडै यसो गर्नुहुनेछ ।
33 Now then, look out a wise and prudent man, and set him over the land of Egypt.
अब फारोले कुशल र बुद्धिमान् मानिसको खोजी गरी तिनलाई मिश्र देशको जिम्मेवारी दिनुहोस् ।
34 And let Pharao make and appoint local governors over the land; and let them take up a fifth part of all the produce of the land of Egypt for the seven years of the plenty.
फारोले देशमाथि अधिकारीहरू नियुक्त गर्नुभएको होस् र तिनीहरूले सहकालका सात वर्षमा मिश्रका अनाजहरूको पाँचौँ हिस्सा उठाऊन् ।
35 And let them gather all the food of these seven good years that are coming, and let the corn be gathered under the hand of Pharao; let food be kept in the cities.
सहरहरूमा खानाका लागि तिनीहरूले आउँदै गरेका यी असल वर्षहरूका सबै अनाज जम्मा गरून् । तिनीहरूले यसको सञ्चय गर्नुपर्छ ।
36 And the stored food shall be for the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; and the land shall not be utterly destroyed by the famine.
मिश्रमा आउने सात वर्षको अनिकालको अवधिमा यी अनाज वितरण गरिनुपर्छ । यसरी अनिकालद्वारा देश सखाप हुनेछैन ।”
37 And the word was pleasing in the sight of Pharao, and in the sight of all his servants.
फारो र तिनका सबै कामदारको दृष्टिमा यो सल्लाह राम्रो थियो ।
38 And Pharao said to all his servants, Shall we find such a man as this, who has the Spirit of God in him?
फारोले आफ्ना कामदारहरूलाई भने, “यिनीजस्तै परमेश्वरको आत्मा भएको अर्को कुनचाहिँ मानिस हामी पाउन सक्छौँ र?”
39 And Pharao said to Joseph, Since God has showed you all these things, there is not a wiser or more prudent man than you.
त्यसैले फारोले योसेफलाई भने, “परमेश्वरले तिमीलाई यी सबै देखाउनुभएकोले तिमीजस्तै कुशल र बुद्धिमान् अरू कोही छैन ।
40 You shall be over my house, and all my people shall be obedient to your word; only in the throne will I excel you.
तिमी नै मेरो घरको अधिकारी हुनेछौ र तिम्रो वचनअनुसार नै मेरा सबै मानिस चल्नेछन् । सिंहासनमा मात्रै म तिमीभन्दा ठुलो हुनेछु ।”
41 And Pharao said to Joseph, Behold, I set you this day over all the land of Egypt.
फारोले योसेफलाई भने, “हेर, मैले तिमीलाई मिश्र देशभरिको अधिकारी तुल्याएको छु ।”
42 And Pharao took his ring off his hand, and put it on the hand of Joseph, and put on him a robe of fine linen, and put a necklace of gold about his neck.
फारोले आफ्नो औँलाबाट छाप-औँठी फुकाली योसेफको औँलामा लगाइदिए । तिनले योसेफलाई सुन्दर मलमलको लुगा पहिराइदिए र तिनको गलामा सुनको सिक्री लगाइदिए ।
43 And he mounted him on the second of his chariots, and a herald made proclamation before him; and he set him over all the land of Egypt.
फारोले तिनलाई आफूसित भएको दोस्रो दर्जाको रथमा सवार गराए । मानिसहरू यसो भन्दै तिनको सामु चिच्च्याए, “घुँडा टेकेर झुक ।” फारोले तिनलाई सारा मिश्रको अधिकारी तुल्याए ।
44 And Pharao said to Joseph, I am Pharao; without you no one shall lift up his hand on all the land of Egypt.
फारोले योसेफलाई भने, “म फारो हुँ, र तिमीबाहेक अरू कसैले मिश्र देशमा आफ्नो इच्छाअनुसार कुनै काम गर्न पाउनेछैन ।”
45 And Pharao called the name of Joseph, Psonthomphanech; and he gave him Aseneth, the daughter of Petephres, priest of Heliopolis, to wife.
फारोले योसेफको नाउँ “सापनत-पानेह” राखिदिए । तिनले योसेफलाई पुजारी पोतीपेराकी छोरी आसनतसित विवाह गराइदिए । योसेफ मिश्र देशभरि जान्थे ।
46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharao, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharao, and went through all the land of Egypt.
मिश्रका राष्ट्रप्रमुख फारोको सामु उभिँदा योसेफ तिस वर्षका थिए । योसेफ फारोको उपस्थितिबाट गई सारा मिश्र देशभरि चाहार्थे ।
47 And the land produced, in the seven years of plenty, [whole] handfuls [of corn].
सहकालका सात वर्षमा जमिनले प्रचुर मात्रामा उब्जनी गर्यो ।
48 And he gathered all the food of the seven years, in which was the plenty in the land of Egypt; and he laid up the food in the cities; the food of the fields of a city round about it he laid up in it.
तिनले सात वर्षमा मिश्र देशका सबै अनाज सङ्कलन गरी त्यसलाई सहरहरूमा राखे । तिनले हरेक सहरमा वरिपरिका खेतहरूबाट अनाज थन्क्याएर राखे ।
49 And Joseph gathered very much corn as the sand of the sea, until it could not be numbered, for there was no number [of it].
योसेफले अन्नको भण्डारण समुद्रको बालुवासरह गरे । अन्न यति धेरै थियो कि तिनले हिसाब राख्नै छाडिदिए ।
50 And to Joseph were born two sons, before the seven years of famine came, which Aseneth, the daughter of Petephres, priest of Heliopolis, bore to him.
अनिकालका वर्षहरू सुरु हुनुभन्दा अगि योसेफले ओनका पुजारी पोतीपेराकी छोरी आसनतबाट दुई जना छोरा जन्माइसकेका थिए ।
51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn, Manasse; for God, [said he], has made me forget all my toils, and all my father's house.
योसेफले आफ्नो जेठो छोरोलाई मनश्शे नाउँ दिएका थिए किनकि तिनले भने, “परमेश्वरले मेरा र मेरा पिताका घरानाका सबै कष्ट बिर्सन लगाउनुभएको छ ।”
52 And he called the name of the second, Ephraim; for God, [said he], has increased me in the land of my humiliation.
तिनले दोस्रो छोरोको नाउँ एफ्राइम राखे किनकि तिनले भने, “परमेश्वरले मेरो कष्टलको देशमा मेरो फलिफाप गराउनुभएको छ ।”
53 And the seven years of plenty passed away, which were in the land of Egypt.
मिश्र देशको सात वर्षको सहकालको अन्त्य भयो ।
54 And the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph said; and there was a famine in all the land; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
योसेफले भनेजस्तै गरी सात वर्षको अनिकालको थालनी भयो । सबै देशहरूमा अनिकाल परेको थियो तर मिश्र देशमा भने अनाज थियो ।
55 And all the land of Egypt was hungry; and the people cried to Pharao for bread. And Pharao said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph, and do whatever he shall tell you.
सारा मिश्र अनिकालले तडपिँदा जनताहरूले अनाजको लागि फारोलाई पुकारे । फारोले सबै मिश्रीहरूलाई भने, “योसेफकहाँ जाओ र तिनले भनेझैँ गर ।”
56 And the famine was on the face of all the earth; and Joseph opened all the granaries, and sold to all the Egyptians.
अनिकालले पुरै देशलाई ढाकेको थियो । योसेफले सबै भण्डारणहरू खुला गरी मिश्रीहरूलाई अनाज बेचे । मिश्र देशमा अनिकाल अति भयानक थियो ।
57 And all countries came to Egypt to buy of Joseph, for the famine prevailed in all the earth.
सारा संसारमा भयानक अनिकाल परेकोले सबै देशका मानिसहरू योसेफबाट अनाज किन्न मिश्रमा आउँदै थिए ।
