< Genesis 49 >

1 And Jacob called his sons, and said to them: Gather yourselves together that I may tell you the things that shall befall you in the last days.
तब याकूबले आफ्‍ना छोराहरूलाई बोलाएर भनेः “तिमीहरू यहाँ जम्‍मा होओ, ताकि भविष्यमा तिमीहरूमाथि के आइपर्नेछ सो म तिमीहरूलाई भनूँ ।
2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, O ye sons of Jacob, hearken to Israel your father:
हे याकूबका छोरा हो, जम्‍मा भएर सुन, तिमीहरूका बुबा इस्राएलका कुरा सुन ।
3 Ruben, my firstborn, thou art my strength, and the beginning of my sorrow: excelling in gifts, greater in command.
रूबेन, तँ मेरो जेठो छोरो होस्, मेरो शक्ति र मेरो बलको सुरु, गौरव र शक्तिमा उत्कृष्‍ट ।
4 Thou art poured out as water, grow thou not: because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed, and didst defile his couch.
बग्‍ने पानीजस्‍तो चञ्‍चल, तेरो प्रतिष्‍ठा रहनेछैन, किनभने तँ तेरा बुबाको ओछ्यानमा चढिस् । अनि त्यसलाई अशुद्ध पारिस्‌; तँ मेरो पलङ्गमा चढ़िस्‌ ।
5 Simeon and Levi brethren: vessels of iniquity, waging war.
शिमियोन र लेवी दाजुभाइ हुन् । हिंसाका हतियार नै तिनीहरूका तरवार हुन् ।
6 Let not my soul go into their counsel, nor my glory be in their assembly: because in their fury they slew a man, and in their selfwill they undermined a wall.
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 fury, because it was stubborn: and their wrath because it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and will 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, thee shall thy brethren praise: thy hands shall be on the necks of thy enemies: the sons of thy father shall bow down to thee.
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: to the prey, my son, thou art gone up: resting thou hast couched as a lion, and as a lioness, who shall rouse him?
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 sceptre shall not be taken away from Juda, nor a ruler from his thigh, till he come that is to be sent, and he shall be 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 Tying his foal to the vineyard, and his ass, O my son, to the vine. 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 are more beautiful than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.
त्‍यसका आँखा दाखमद्यजस्तै गाढा, र त्‍यसका दाँत दुधजस्ता सेता हुनेछन्‌ ।
13 Zabulon shall dwell on the sea shore, and in the road of ships, reaching as far as Sidon.
जबूलून समुद्रको किनारमा बस्‍नेछ । जहाजहरूका निम्‍ति त्‍यो बन्‍दरगाह हुनेछ, र त्‍यसको सिमाना सीदोनसम्‍म हुनेछ ।
14 Issachar shall be a strong ass lying down between the borders.
इस्‍साखार दुई भारीहरूका बिचमा लेटिरहने बलियो गधा हो ।
15 He saw rest that it was good: and the land that it was excellent: and he bowed his shoulder to carry, and became a servant under tribute.
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 like another tribe in Israel.
इस्राएलका कुलमध्‍ये एउटा कुल भएर दानले आफ्‍ना मानिसहरूको न्‍याय गर्नेछ ।
17 Let Dan be a snake in the way, a serpent in the path, that biteth the horse’s heels that his rider may fall backward.
दान बाटोको छेउमा भएको एउटा सर्प, अर्थात् घोडाको कुर्कुच्‍चा डस्‍ने विषालु सर्प हुनेछ र त्‍यसको घोडचढी पछिल्‍तिर लोट्‌छ ।
18 I will look for thy salvation, O Lord.
हे परमप्रभु, म तपाईंको उद्धारको प्रतीक्षा गर्छु ।
19 Gad, being girded, shall fight before him: and he himself shall be girded backward.
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 kings.
आशेरको अनाज प्रशस्त हुनेछ, र त्‍यसले राजकीय खाना उपलब्ध गराउनेछ ।
21 Nephtali, a hart let loose, and giving words of beauty.
नप्‍ताली सुन्दर पाठापाठी पाउने फुकाइएकी मुडुली-मृग हो ।
22 Joseph is a growing son, a growing son and comely to behold; the daughters run to and fro upon the wall.
योसेफ एउटा फलवन्त लहरा हो, पानीको मूलनेर भएको फल दिने लहरा, जसका हाँगाहरू पर्खालमाथि फैलिन्‍छन्‌ ।
23 But they that held darts provoked him, and quarrelled with him, and envied him.
धनुर्धारीहरूले त्‍यसलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछन् र त्‍यसमाथि काँड चलाउनेछन्, र त्यसलाई सताउनेछन् ।
24 His bow rested upon the strong, and the bands of his arms and his hands were loosed, by the hands of the mighty one of Jacob: thence he came forth a pastor, 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 The God of thy father shall be thy helper, and the Almighty shall bless thee with the blessings of heaven above, with the blessings of the deep that lieth beneath, with the blessings 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 thy father are strengthened with the blessings of his fathers: until the desire of the everlasting hills should come; may they be upon the head of Joseph, and upon the crown of the Nazarite among his brethren.
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 a ravenous wolf, in the morning shall eat the prey, and in the evening shall divide the spoil.
बेन्‍यामीन एउटा भोको ब्‍वाँसो हो । बिहान त्यसले शिकार खान्‍छ, र बेलुकीचाहिँ त्‍यसले लुट बाँड्छ ।
28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: these things their father spoke to them, and he blessed every one, with their proper blessings.
यी इस्राएलका बाह्र कुल हुन्‌ । आफ्‍ना बुबाले तिनीहरूलाई आशीर्वाद दिँदा भनेका कुरा यही हो । प्रत्‍येकलाई तिनले सुहाउँदो आशीर्वाद दिए ।
29 And he charged them, saying: I am now going to be gathered to my people: bury me with my fathers in the double cave, which is in the field of Ephron the Hethite,
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 Over against Mambre in the land of Chanaan, which Abraham bought together with the field of Ephron the Hethite for a possession to bury in.
अर्थात्‌ कनान देशमा मम्रेनेरको मक्‍पेलाको खेतमा भएको ओडार, जुन अब्राहामले हित्ती एप्रोनको हातबाट खेतसमेत चिहान बनाउनलाई किनेका थिए ।
31 There they buried him, and Sara his wife: there was Isaac buried with Rebecca his wife: there also Lia doth lie buried.
उनीहरूले अब्राहाम र तिनकी पत्‍नी सारालाई त्यहीँ गाडे । त्‍यहीँ नै उनीहरूले इसहाक र तिनकी पत्‍नी रिबेकालाई पनि गाडे । त्‍यहीँ नै मैले लेआलाई गाडेँ ।
त्‍यो खेत र त्‍यहाँ भएको ओडार हित्तीहरूको हातबाट किनिएको थियो ।”
33 And when he had ended the commandments, wherewith he instructed his sons, he drew up his feet upon the bed, and died: and he was gathered to his people.
छोराहरूलाई यो आज्ञा दिइसकेपछि याकूबले आफ्‍ना खुट्टा ओछ्यानमा पसारेर आफ्‍नो प्राण त्‍यागे, र आफ्‍ना पिता-पुर्खाहरूसँग मिल्‍न गए ।
