< Genesis 41 >

1 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed, and behold, he stood by the river.
दुई वर्षको अन्त्यमा फारोले एउटा सपना देखे । तिनी नील नदीको किनारमा उभिए ।
2 And behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fine-looking and fat-fleshed, and they fed in the reed-grass.
नील नदीबाट सातवटा सप्रेका र मोटा-मोटा गाई निस्केर आए, अनि तिनीहरू नर्कटको झाडीमा चरे ।
3 And behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, bad-looking and lean-fleshed, and stood by the kine 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 kine that were bad-looking and lean-fleshed ate up the seven kine that were fine-looking and fat. And Pharaoh awoke.
त्यसपछि नसप्रेका र दुब्ला-दुब्ला गाईहरूले सातवटा सप्रेका र मोटा-मोटा गाईलाई खाइदिए । अनि फारो ब्युँझे ।
5 And he slept and dreamed the second time; and behold, seven ears of corn grew up on one stalk, fat 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 parched with the east wind, sprung up after them.
त्यसपछि सेप्रा र पूर्वीय बतासद्वारा ओइलाइएका अरू सातवटा अन्‍नका बाला तिनीहरू पछि पलाए ।
7 And the thin ears devoured the seven fat and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke; and behold, 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 came to pass in the morning, that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the scribes of Egypt, and all the sages who were therein, and Pharaoh told them his dream; but [there was] none to interpret them to Pharaoh.
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 Then spoke the chief of the cup-bearers to Pharaoh, saying, I remember mine offences this day.
त्यसपछि मुख्य पियाउनेले फारोलाई भने, “आज म मेरो दोषको बारेमा सोच्दै छु ।
10 Pharaoh was wroth with his bondmen, and put me in custody into the captain of the life-guard's house, me and the chief of the bakers.
फारो आफ्ना नोकरहरूसित रिसाउनु भई मलाई र मुख्य पकाउनेलाई अङ्गरक्षकका कप्‍तानको कैदखानामा राख्‍नुभयो ।
11 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each according to the interpretation of his dream.
तिनी र मैले एउटै रात सपना देख्यौँ । हामीले आ-आफ्नो अर्थ भएका सपना देख्यौँ ।
12 And there was there with us a Hebrew youth, a bondman of the captain of the life-guard, to whom we told [them], and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each he interpreted according to his dream.
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, just as he interpreted to us, so it came about: me has he restored to my office, and him he hanged.
त्यसले हामीलाई अर्थ खोलिदिएअनुसार नै हुन आयो । फारोले मलाई मेरो पदमा पुनर्स्थापना गरिदिनुभयो, तर अर्को मानिसलाई झुण्ड्याइयो ।”
14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph; and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. And he shaved [himself], and changed his clothes, and came in to Pharaoh.
त्यसपछि फारोले योसेफलाई डाक्‍न पठाए । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई चाँडै नै झ्यालखानाबाट निकालेर ल्याए । तिनले दारी खौरेपछि लुगाहरू बद्लेर फारोकहाँ आए ।
15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have dreamt a dream, and there is none to interpret it. And I have heard say of thee, thou understandest a dream to interpret it.
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 Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
योसेफले फारोलाई जवाफ दिए, “ममा यस्तो खुबी त छैन, तर परमेश्‍वरले फारोलाई निगाहसाथ जवाफ दिनुहुनेछ ।”
17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood on the bank of the river.
फारोले योसेफलाई बताए, “मेरो सपनामा म नील नदीको किनारमा उभिएँ ।
18 And behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and of fine form, and they fed in the reed-grass.
नील नदीबाट सातवटा सप्रेका र मोटा-मोटा गाई निस्केर आए, अनि तिनीहरू नर्कटको झाडीमा चरे ।
19 And behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor, and very ill-formed, and lean-fleshed — such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness.
नील नदीबाट अरू सातवटा कमजोर, नसप्रेका र दुब्ला-दुब्ला गाई निस्केर आए । मैले पुरै मिश्रभरि तीजस्ता नसप्रेका गाईहरू कहिल्यै देखेको छैनँ ।
20 And the lean and bad kine ate up the seven first fat kine;
त्यसपछि नसप्रेका र दुब्ला-दुब्ला गाईहरूले सातवटा मोटा-मोटा गाईलाई खाइदिए ।
21 and they came into their belly, and it could not be known that they had come into their belly; and their look was bad, as at the beginning. And I awoke.
तिनीहरूले ती गाईहरूलाई खाइसकेपछि तिनीहरू खाएका जस्ता देखिँदैनथे किनकि तिनीहरू पहिलेजस्तै अझै पनि नसप्रेका देखिन्थे । त्यसपछि मेरो निद्रा खुल्यो ।
22 And I saw in my dream, and behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, full and good.
मेरो अर्को सपनामा मैले सातवटा भरिला र असल अनाजका बाला एउटै डाँठमा उम्रिरहेका देखेँ ।
23 And behold, seven ears, withered, thin, parched with the east wind, sprung up after them;
त्यसपछि सुकेका, सेप्रा र पूर्वीय बतासद्वारा ओइलाइएका अरू सातवटा अन्‍नका बाला तिनीहरू पछि पलाउन थाले ।
24 and the thin ears devoured the seven good ears. And I told it to the scribes; but there was none to make it known 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 Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God will do he has made known to Pharaoh.
योसेफले फारोलाई भने, “फारोका सपनाहरू एउटै हुन् । परमेश्‍वरले गर्न लाग्‍नुभएको कुरा उहाँले फारोलाई प्रकट गराउनुभएको छ ।
26 The seven fine kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
सातवटा असल गाई र सातवटा असल बाला सात वर्ष हुन् । सपनाहरू एउटै हुन् ।
27 And the seven lean and bad kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears, parched with the east wind, will 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 This is the word which I have spoken to Pharaoh: what God is about to do he has let Pharaoh see.
मैले फारोलाई बताएको कुरा यही नै हो । परमेश्‍वरले गर्न लाग्‍नुभएको कुरा उहाँले फारोलाई प्रकट गराउनुभएको छ ।
29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout the land of Egypt.
हेर्नुहोस्, मिश्रदेशभरि ठुलो सहकालको सात वर्ष हुनेछ ।
30 And there will arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will waste away the land.
त्यसपछि सात वर्षको अनिकाल पर्नेछ, र मिश्रभरि त्यस सात वर्षको सहकालको सम्झना हुनेछैन, अनि अनिकाले देशलाई सखाप पार्नेछ ।
31 And the plenty will not be known afterwards in the land by reason of that famine; for it will be very grievous.
देशमा पछि आउने अनिकालको कारणले गर्दा सहकाललाई सम्झनेछैन किनकि यो अति नै भयानक हुनेछ ।
32 And as regards the double repetition of the dream to Pharaoh, it is that the thing is established by God, and God will hasten to do it.
फारोलाई सपना दोहोर्‍याइनुको कारणचाहिँ यही हो, कि परमेश्‍वरले यो विषयलाई पक्‍का गर्नुभएको छ, र उहाँले चाँडै यसो गर्नुहुनेछ ।
33 And now let Pharaoh look himself out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
अब फारोले कुशल र बुद्धिमान् मानिसको खोजी गरी तिनलाई मिश्र देशको जिम्मेवारी दिनुहोस् ।
34 Let Pharaoh do [this]: let him appoint overseers over the land, and take the fifth part of the land of Egypt during the seven years of 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 coming good years, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, for food in the cities, and keep [it].
सहरहरूमा खानाका लागि तिनीहरूले आउँदै गरेका यी असल वर्षहरूका सबै अनाज जम्मा गरून् । तिनीहरूले यसको सञ्चय गर्नुपर्छ ।
36 And let the food be as store for the land for the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt, that the land perish not through the famine.
मिश्रमा आउने सात वर्षको अनिकालको अवधिमा यी अनाज वितरण गरिनुपर्छ । यसरी अनिकालद्वारा देश सखाप हुनेछैन ।”
37 And the word was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his bondmen.
फारो र तिनका सबै कामदारको दृष्‍टिमा यो सल्लाह राम्रो थियो ।
38 And Pharaoh said to his bondmen, Shall we find [one] as this, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
फारोले आफ्ना कामदारहरूलाई भने, “यिनीजस्तै परमेश्‍वरको आत्मा भएको अर्को कुनचाहिँ मानिस हामी पाउन सक्छौँ र?”
39 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Since God has made all this known to thee, there is none [so] discreet and wise as thou.
त्यसैले फारोले योसेफलाई भने, “परमेश्‍वरले तिमीलाई यी सबै देखाउनुभएकोले तिमीजस्तै कुशल र बुद्धिमान् अरू कोही छैन ।
40 Thou shalt be over my house, and according to thy commandment shall all my people regulate themselves; only concerning the throne will I be greater than thou.
तिमी नै मेरो घरको अधिकारी हुनेछौ र तिम्रो वचनअनुसार नै मेरा सबै मानिस चल्नेछन् । सिंहासनमा मात्रै म तिमीभन्दा ठुलो हुनेछु ।”
41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
फारोले योसेफलाई भने, “हेर, मैले तिमीलाई मिश्र देशभरिको अधिकारी तुल्याएको छु ।”
42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in clothes of byssus, and put a gold chain on 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 caused him to ride in the second chariot that he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee! 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 Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh; and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in 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 Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah, and gave him as wife Asnath the daughter of Potipherah the priest in On. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
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 Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from Pharaoh, and passed through the whole land of Egypt.
मिश्रका राष्‍ट्रप्रमुख फारोको सामु उभिँदा योसेफ तिस वर्षका थिए । योसेफ फारोको उपस्थितिबाट गई सारा मिश्र देशभरि चाहार्थे ।
47 And in the seven years of plenty the land brought forth by handfuls.
सहकालका सात वर्षमा जमिनले प्रचुर मात्रामा उब्जनी गर्‍यो ।
48 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years that was in the land of Egypt, and put the food in the cities; the food of the fields of the city, which were 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 laid up corn as sand of the sea exceeding much, until they left off numbering; for it was without number.
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 year of famine came, whom Asnath the daughter of Potipherah the priest in On 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 Manasseh — For God has made me forget all my toil, 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 the name of the second he called Ephraim — For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
तिनले दोस्रो छोरोको नाउँ एफ्राइम राखे किनकि तिनले भने, “परमेश्‍वरले मेरो कष्‍टलको देशमा मेरो फलिफाप गराउनुभएको छ ।”
53 And the seven years of plenty that were in the land of Egypt were ended;
मिश्र देशको सात वर्षको सहकालको अन्त्य भयो ।
54 and the seven years of the dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said. And there was dearth in all lands; 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 suffered from the dearth. And the people cried to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph: what he says to you, that do.
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 all the earth. And Joseph opened every place in which there was [provision], and sold grain to the Egyptians; and the famine was grievous in the land of Egypt.
अनिकालले पुरै देशलाई ढाकेको थियो । योसेफले सबै भण्डारणहरू खुला गरी मिश्रीहरूलाई अनाज बेचे । मिश्र देशमा अनिकाल अति भयानक थियो ।
57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph, to buy [grain], because the famine was grievous on the whole earth.
सारा संसारमा भयानक अनिकाल परेकोले सबै देशका मानिसहरू योसेफबाट अनाज किन्‍न मिश्रमा आउँदै थिए ।
