Genesis 48
1 And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick. And he took with him his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim.
यी कुराहरू भएको केही समयपछि “हेर्नुहोस्, हजुरका पिता बिरामी हुनुहुन्छ” भनेर कसैले योसेफलाई खबर दियो । यसकारण तिनले आफ्ना दुई छोरा मनश्शे र एफ्राइमलाई आफ्नो साथमा ल्याए ।
2 And one told Jacob and said, Behold, thy son Joseph is coming to thee. And Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
जब “हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंका छोरा योसेफ तपाईंलाई भेट गर्न आएका छन्” भन्ने खबर कसैले याकूबलाई सुनायो, इस्राएल आफै बल गरेर पलङ्गमा बसे ।
3 And Jacob said to Joseph, The Almighty God appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
याकूबले योसेफलाई भने, “सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वर कनान देशको लूजमा मकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो । उहाँले मलाई आशीर्वाद दिनुभयो
4 and he said to me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a company of peoples; and will give this land to thy seed after thee [for] an everlasting possession.
र भन्नुभयो, 'हेर, म तँलाई फल्दो-फुल्दो बनाउनेछु, र तेरो वृद्धि गराउनेछु । तँबाट म जातिहरूको समूह उत्पन्न गर्नेछु । म यो देश अनन्त अधिकारको रूपमा तेरा सन्तानलाई दिनेछु ।’
5 And now thy two sons, who were born to thee in the land of Egypt before I came to thee into Egypt, shall be mine: Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon.
अब म मिश्रमा आउनअगि मिश्रमा जन्मेका तेरा यी दुई जना छोराहरू मेरै हुन् । रूबेन र शिमियोनझैँ एफ्राइम र मनश्शे मेरै हुनेछन् ।
6 And thy family which thou hast begotten after them shall be thine: they shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
तिनीहरूभन्दा पछि जन्मेका सन्तानहरूचाहिँ तेरा हुनेछन् । यिनीहरूका नाम पनि यिनका दाजुभाइहरूले पाउने हकमा सूचीबद्ध गरिनेछ ।
7 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was yet a certain distance to come to Ephrath; and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath, that is, Bethlehem.
म पद्दन-आरामबाट आउँदा एप्रातमा पुग्न अझ केही टाढा छँदै कनान देशमा राहेल मरिन् । मैले तिनलाई एप्रात अर्थात् बेथलेहेम जाने बाटोमा गाडेँ ।”
8 And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?
योसेफका छोराहरूलाई देखेर इस्राएलले भने, “यिनीहरू को हुन्?”
9 And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God has given me here. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, to me, that I may bless them.
योसेफले आफ्ना बुबालाई भने, “यिनीहरू परमेश्वरले मलाई यहाँ दिनुभएका मेरा छोराहरू हुन् ।” इस्राएलले भने, “तिनीहरूलाई मकहाँ ले, ताकि म तिनीहरूलाई आशीर्वाद दिऊँ ।”
10 But the eyes of Israel were heavy from age: he could not see. And he brought them nearer to him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
त्यस बेला तिनको उमेरले गर्दा इस्राएलका आँखा धमिला भइसकेका थिए, त्यसैले तिनले देख्न सकेनन् । यसकारण योसेफले तिनीहरूलाई तिनको नजिक लगिदिए, अनि तिनले तिनीहरूलाई म्वाइँ खाएर अँगालो हाले ।
11 And Israel said to Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face; and behold, God has let me see also thy seed.
इस्राएलले योसेफलाई भने, “मैले त तेरो मुख फेरि देख्न पाउँला भनी ठानेकै थिइनँ, तर मलाई परमेश्वरले तेरा सन्तान पनि देख्न दिनुभयो ।”
12 And Joseph brought them out from his knees, and bowed down with his face to the earth.
तब योसेफले तिनीहरूलाई इस्राएलका घुँडाको बिचबाट हटाए, र तिनले भुइँमा घोप्टेर दण्डवत् गरे ।
13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought [them] near to him.
योसेफले ती दुवैलाई लिएर एफ्राइमलाई आफ्नो दाहिनेपट्टि र इस्राएलको देब्रेपट्टि, र मनश्शेलाई आफ्नो देब्रेपट्टि र इस्राएलको दाहिनेपट्टि पर्ने गरी इस्राएलको नजिक ल्याए ।
14 But Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid [it] on Ephraim's head — now he was the younger — and his left hand on Manasseh's head; guiding his hands intelligently, for Manasseh was the firstborn.
इस्राएलले आफ्नो दाहिने हात पसारेर कान्छा एफ्राइमको टाउकोमा र आफ्नो देब्रे हात मनश्शेको टाउकोमा राखे । मनश्शे जेठा भएकाले तिनले आफ्नो एउटा हात अर्को हातमाथि खप्ट्याए ।
15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God that shepherded me all my life long to this day,
इस्राएलले योसेफलाई आशीर्वाद दिएर भने, “जुन परमेश्वरको सामुन्ने मेरा पिता अब्राहाम र इसहाक हिँडे, जुन परमेश्वरले मेरो जीवनभरि आजसम्म मेरो वास्ता गर्नुभएको छ,
16 the Angel that redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named upon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the land!
ती स्वर्गदूत, जसले मलाई सबै खराबीबाट जोगाउनुभएको छ, उहाँले नै यी बालकहरूलाई आशीर्वाद देऊन् । मेरो र मेरा पिता अब्राहाम र इसहाकका नाउँ यिनीहरूमा बोलाइयोस् । पृथ्वीमा यिनीहरू अधिक सङ्ख्यामा बढून् ।”
17 When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it was evil in his eyes; and he took hold of his father's hand to remove it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head.
जब योसेफले तिनका बुबाले आफ्ना दाहिने हात एफ्राइमको टाउकोमा राखेको देखे, यो उनलाई मन परेन । तिनले एफ्राइमको टाउकोबाट मनश्शेको टाउकोमा राख्न भनी तिनका बुबाको हात उठाए ।
18 And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn: put thy right hand on his head.
योसेफले आफ्ना बुबालाई भने, “हे मेरा बुबा, यसो होइन, किनकि जेठोचाहिँ यो हो । तपाईंको दाहिने हात यसको शिरमाथि राखिदिनुहोस् ।”
19 But his father refused and said, I know, my son, I know: he also will become a people, and he also will be great; but truly his younger brother will be greater than he; and his seed will become the fulness of nations.
तर तिनका बुबाले अस्वीकार गरी भने, “मलाई थाहा छ, मेरो छोरो, मलाई थाहा छ । यसको पनि एउटा वंश हुनेछ, र यो पनि महान् हुनेछ । तापनि यसको भाइचाहिँ योभन्दा महान् हुनेछ, र त्यसका सन्तान जाति-जातिहरूको एक समूह हुनेछ ।”
20 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee will Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and Manasseh! And he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
इस्राएलले तिनीहरूलाई त्यस दिन यसो भनेर आशीर्वाद दिए, “इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले तिमीहरूका नाउँ लिएर यस्तो आशीर्वाद दिनेछन्, ‘परमेश्वरले तँलाई एफ्राइम र मनश्शेजस्तै बनाऊन्’।” यसरी तिनले मनश्शेभन्दा एफ्राइमलाई नै अगाडि राखे ।
21 And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I die; and God will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers.
इस्राएलले योसेफलाई भने, “हेर्, म मर्न लागेको छु, तर परमेश्वर तिमीहरूका साथमा हुनुहुनेछ, र तिमीहरूलाई फेरि तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूको देशमा फर्काएर लैजानुहुनेछ ।
22 And I have given to thee one tract [of land] above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.
त्यसबाहेक तेरा दाजुभाइहरूभन्दा तँमाथि भएकोले मैले आफ्नो तरवार र धनुको बलले एमोरीहरूबाट लिएको पहाडको पाखा म तँलाई दिन्छु ।”
