< Genesis 49 >

1 And Jacob called his sons, and said to them,
तब याकूबले आफ्‍ना छोराहरूलाई बोलाएर भनेः “तिमीहरू यहाँ जम्‍मा होओ, ताकि भविष्यमा तिमीहरूमाथि के आइपर्नेछ सो म तिमीहरूलाई भनूँ ।
2 Assemble yourselves, that I may tell you what shall happen to you in the last days. Gather yourselves together, and hear me, sons of Jacob; hear Israel, hear your father.
हे याकूबका छोरा हो, जम्‍मा भएर सुन, तिमीहरूका बुबा इस्राएलका कुरा सुन ।
3 Ruben, you [are] my firstborn, you my strength, and the first of my children, hard to be endured, [hard and] self-willed.
रूबेन, तँ मेरो जेठो छोरो होस्, मेरो शक्ति र मेरो बलको सुरु, गौरव र शक्तिमा उत्कृष्‍ट ।
4 You were insolent like water, burst not forth with violence, for you went up to the bed of your father; then you defiled the couch, whereupon you went up.
बग्‍ने पानीजस्‍तो चञ्‍चल, तेरो प्रतिष्‍ठा रहनेछैन, किनभने तँ तेरा बुबाको ओछ्यानमा चढिस् । अनि त्यसलाई अशुद्ध पारिस्‌; तँ मेरो पलङ्गमा चढ़िस्‌ ।
5 Symeon and Levi, brethren, accomplished the injustice of their cutting off.
शिमियोन र लेवी दाजुभाइ हुन् । हिंसाका हतियार नै तिनीहरूका तरवार हुन् ।
6 Let not my soul come into their counsel, and let not mine inward parts contend in their conspiracy, for in their wrath they killed men, and in their passion they houghed a bull.
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 wrath, for it was wilful, and their anger, for it was cruel: I will divide 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 Juda, your brethren have praised you, and your hands shall be on the back of your enemies; your father's sons shall do you reverence.
ए यहूदा, तेरा दाजुभाइहरूले तेरो प्रशंसा गर्नेछन् । तेरा हात तेरा शत्रुहरूका गर्दनमा हुनेछन् । तेरा बुबाका छोराहरू तेरो सामुन्‍ने निहुरिनेछन्‌ ।
9 Juda is a lion's whelp: from the tender plant, my son, you are gone up, having couched you lie as a lion, and as a whelp; who shall stir him up?
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 A ruler shall not fail from Juda, nor a prince from his loins, until there come the things stored up for him; and he is the expectation of nations.
यहूदाको हातबाट राजदण्‍ड हट्‌नेछैन, न त राज्‍य चलाउनेको लाठी त्‍यसका खुट्टाका बिचबाट हट्‌नेछ, जबसम्‍म त्‍यसका मालिक आउँदैनन्‌ । जातिहरूले उहाँको आज्ञा मान्‍नेछन् ।
11 Binding his foal to the vine, and the foal of his ass to the branch [of it], he shall wash his robe in wine, and his garment in the blood of the grape.
त्‍यसको गधालाई दाखको बोटमा, र गधाको बछेड़ोलाई चाहिँ उत्तम जातको हाँगामा बाँधेर त्‍यसले आफ्‍ना लुगाहरू दाखमद्यमा, आफ्‍ना पोशाक अङ्‌गुरको रसमा धुनेछ ।
12 His eyes shall be more cheering than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.
त्‍यसका आँखा दाखमद्यजस्तै गाढा, र त्‍यसका दाँत दुधजस्ता सेता हुनेछन्‌ ।
13 Zabulon shall dwell on the coast, and he [shall be] by a haven of ships, and shall extend to Sidon.
जबूलून समुद्रको किनारमा बस्‍नेछ । जहाजहरूका निम्‍ति त्‍यो बन्‍दरगाह हुनेछ, र त्‍यसको सिमाना सीदोनसम्‍म हुनेछ ।
14 Issachar has desired that which is good; resting between the inheritances.
इस्‍साखार दुई भारीहरूका बिचमा लेटिरहने बलियो गधा हो ।
15 And having seen the resting place that it was good, and the land that it was fertile, he subjected his shoulder to labour, and became a husbandman.
जसले असल विश्रामको ठाउँ असल र रमाइलो देश देख्छ । त्‍यसले भारी बोक्‍नलाई आफ्‍नो काँध झुकाउनेछ, र काम गर्ने नोकर बन्‍नेछ ।
16 Dan shall judge his people, as one tribe too in Israel.
इस्राएलका कुलमध्‍ये एउटा कुल भएर दानले आफ्‍ना मानिसहरूको न्‍याय गर्नेछ ।
17 And let Dan be a serpent in the way, besetting the path, biting the heel of the horse (and the rider shall fall backward),
दान बाटोको छेउमा भएको एउटा सर्प, अर्थात् घोडाको कुर्कुच्‍चा डस्‍ने विषालु सर्प हुनेछ र त्‍यसको घोडचढी पछिल्‍तिर लोट्‌छ ।
18 waiting for the salvation of the Lord.
हे परमप्रभु, म तपाईंको उद्धारको प्रतीक्षा गर्छु ।
19 Gad, a plundering troop shall plunder him; but he shall plunder him, [pursuing him] closely.
गादमाथि आक्रमण गर्नेले त्यसलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछ, तर त्‍यसले तिनीहरूको कुर्कुच्‍चामा आक्रमण गर्नेछ ।
20 Aser, his bread [shall be] fat; and he shall yield dainties to princes.
आशेरको अनाज प्रशस्त हुनेछ, र त्‍यसले राजकीय खाना उपलब्ध गराउनेछ ।
21 Nephthalim is a spreading stem, bestowing beauty on its fruit.
नप्‍ताली सुन्दर पाठापाठी पाउने फुकाइएकी मुडुली-मृग हो ।
22 Joseph is a son increased; my dearly loved son is increased; my youngest son, turn to me.
योसेफ एउटा फलवन्त लहरा हो, पानीको मूलनेर भएको फल दिने लहरा, जसका हाँगाहरू पर्खालमाथि फैलिन्‍छन्‌ ।
23 Against whom men taking evil counsel reproached [him], and the archers pressed hard upon him.
धनुर्धारीहरूले त्‍यसलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछन् र त्‍यसमाथि काँड चलाउनेछन्, र त्यसलाई सताउनेछन् ।
24 But their bow and arrows were mightily consumed, and the sinews of their arms were slackened by the hand of the mighty one of Jacob; thence is he that strengthened Israel from the God of your father;
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 and my God helped you, and he blessed you with the blessing of heaven from above, and the blessing of the earth possessing all things, because of the blessing of the breasts and of the womb,
तेरा बुबाका परमेश्‍वरले तँलाई सहायता गर्नुहुन्‍छ, र सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्‍वरले माथि स्‍वर्गका आशिष्‌हरू, तल अगाधका आशिष्‌हरू, अनि स्‍तन र गर्भका आशिष्‌हरूले आशिषित्् तुल्याउनुहुनेछ ।
26 the blessings of your father and your mother—it has prevailed above the blessing of the lasting mountains, and beyond the blessings of the everlasting hills; they shall be upon the head of Joseph, and upon the head of the brothers of whom he took the lead.
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, as a ravening wolf, shall eat still in the morning, and at evening he gives food.
बेन्‍यामीन एउटा भोको ब्‍वाँसो हो । बिहान त्यसले शिकार खान्‍छ, र बेलुकीचाहिँ त्‍यसले लुट बाँड्छ ।
28 All these [are] the twelve sons of Jacob; and their father spoke these words to them, and he blessed them; he blessed each of them according to his blessing.
यी इस्राएलका बाह्र कुल हुन्‌ । आफ्‍ना बुबाले तिनीहरूलाई आशीर्वाद दिँदा भनेका कुरा यही हो । प्रत्‍येकलाई तिनले सुहाउँदो आशीर्वाद दिए ।
29 And he said to them, I am added to my people; you shall bury me with my fathers in the cave, which is in the field of Ephron the Chettite,
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 double cave which is opposite Mambre, in the land of Chanaan, the cave which Abraam bought of Ephron the Chettite, for a possession of a sepulchre.
अर्थात्‌ कनान देशमा मम्रेनेरको मक्‍पेलाको खेतमा भएको ओडार, जुन अब्राहामले हित्ती एप्रोनको हातबाट खेतसमेत चिहान बनाउनलाई किनेका थिए ।
31 There they buried Abraam and Sarrha his wife; there they buried Isaac, and Rebecca his wife; there they buried Lea;
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 portion of the field, and of the cave that was in it, [purchased] of the sons of Chet.
त्‍यो खेत र त्‍यहाँ भएको ओडार हित्तीहरूको हातबाट किनिएको थियो ।”
33 And Jacob ceased giving charges to his sons; and having lifted up his feet on the bed, he died, and was gathered to his people.
छोराहरूलाई यो आज्ञा दिइसकेपछि याकूबले आफ्‍ना खुट्टा ओछ्यानमा पसारेर आफ्‍नो प्राण त्‍यागे, र आफ्‍ना पिता-पुर्खाहरूसँग मिल्‍न गए ।
