< Genesis 22 >

1 Sometime later God tested Abraham. He called out to him, “Abraham!” “I'm here,” Abraham replied.
यी कुराहरूपछि परमेश्‍वरले अब्राहामको जाँच गर्नुभयो । उहाँले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “ए अब्राहाम!” अब्राहमले भने, “म यहीँ छु ।”
2 God told him, “Go with your son, the one you love, your only son, to the land of Moriah and sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I'll show you.”
त्यसपछि परमेश्‍वरले भन्‍नुभयो, “तैँले माया गर्ने तेरो छोरो इसहाकलाई लिएर मोरीयाहको देशमा जा । त्यहाँको कुनै एक डाँडामा त्यसलाई होमबलि गर्‌, जुन म तँलाई बताउनेछु ।”
3 Abraham got up early in the morning and saddled up his donkey. He took two servants and Isaac with him and went to cut firewood for the burnt offering. Then he left with them to go to the place God had told him about.
त्यसैले अब्राहाम बिहानै उठेर गधामा काठी कसे, अनि आफ्‍ना दुई जवान मानिसहरू र आफ्‍नो छोरो इसहाकलाई साथमा लिए । उनले होमबलिको निम्‍ति दाउरा चिरे, त्यसपछि परमेश्‍वरले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभएको ठाउँतर्फ यात्रा सुरु गरे ।
4 After traveling for three days Abraham could see the place in the distance.
तेस्रो दिन अब्राहामले माथि हेरे र टाढा त्‍यो ठाउँ देखे ।
5 He told his servants, “Wait here with the donkey while I go with the boy and worship God. Then we'll return.”
अब्राहामले आफ्‍ना जवान मानिसहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरू गधासँग यहीँ बस, अनि म र यो केटो त्यहाँ जानेछौँ । हामी पूजा गर्नेछौँ र तिमीहरूकहाँ फेरि फर्केर आउनेछौँ ।”
6 Abraham had Isaac carry the wood for the burnt offering, while he carried the fire and the knife, and they walked up together.
त्यसपछि अब्राहामले होमबलिको निम्ति दाउरा लिए र आफ्‍नो छोरो इसहाकलाई बोकाए । उनले आगो र छुरी आफ्‍नो हातमा लिए अनि ती दुवै जना सँगसँगै गए ।
7 Isaac said to Abraham, “Father?” “Yes, my son?” Abraham replied. “Well, we have the fire and the wood, but where's the lamb for the burnt offering?” Isaac asked.
इसहाकले आफ्‍ना पिता अब्राहामलाई भने, “बुबा,” अनि तिनले भने, “म यहीँ छु, मेरो छोरा ।” त्‍यसले भन्‍यो, “आगो र दाउरा त यहाँ छन्, तर होमबलिको लागि थुमाचाहिँ खोइ?”
8 “God will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son,” Abraham replied, and they went on walking up together.
अब्राहामले भने, “मेरो छोरा, परमेश्‍वरले नै होमबलिको निम्‍ति थुमा जुटाइदिनुहुनेछ ।” अनि ती दुवै सँगसँगै गए ।
9 When they arrived at the place where God had told him to go, Abraham built an altar and placed the wood on it. Then he bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar on top of the wood.
परमेश्‍वरले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभएको ठाउँमा पुगेपछि अब्राहामले त्‍यहाँ एउटा वेदी बनाएर दाउरा राखे । त्‍यसपछि तिनले आफ्‍नो छोरो इसहाकलाई बाँधेर वेदीमा दाउरामाथि राखे ।
10 Abraham picked up the knife, ready to slaughter his son.
अब्राहामले आफ्‍नो छोरालाई मार्न छुरी उठाए ।
11 But the angel of the Lord shouted to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Yes, I'm here,” he replied.
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुका एक जना दूतले स्‍वर्गबाट तिनलाई भने, “ए अब्राहाम, अब्राहाम!” तिनले भने, “म यहीँ छु ।”
12 The angel said, “Don't touch the boy! Don't do anything to him, because now I know that you truly do what God tells you. You didn't refuse to give me your son, your only son.”
उनले भने, “तेरो हात त्‍यस केटामाथि नउठा, न त त्‍यसलाई केही गर, आफ्‍नो एक मात्र छोरालाई पनि मबाट तैंले रोकेर राखिनस्‌ भन्‍ने देखेर तैँले परमेश्‍वरको भय मान्दोरहेछस् भनी मैले अब थाहा पाएँ
13 Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught by its horns in some bushes. He brought the ram over and sacrificed it as a burnt offering in place of his son.
।” अब्राहामले माथितिर हेरे र एउटा भेडा झाडीमा सीङ अल्‍झेर फसेको देखे । अब्राहामले गएर त्‍यस भेडालाई ल्‍याए, र तिनका छोराको सट्टामा त्‍यसैलाई होमबलि चढाए ।
14 Abraham called the place “The Lord will Provide.” That's still a saying people use today: “the Lord will provide on his mountain.”
यसकारण अब्राहामले त्‍यस ठाउँको नाउँ “परमप्रभुले जुटाउनुहुन्‍छ” राखे, र “परमप्रभुको डाँडामा जुटाइनेछ” भनी आजसम्म पनि भनिन्‍छ ।
15 The angel of the Lord shouted again to Abraham from heaven,
परमप्रभुका दूतले दोस्रो पल्‍ट स्‍वर्गबाट अब्राहामलाई बोलाएर भने,
16 “I swear by myself, says the Lord, that because you have done this and didn't refuse to give me your son, your only son,
यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, “मैले आफ्‍नै नाउँमा शपथ खाएको छु, कि तैंले यो काम गरेकोले र तेरो छोरो, अर्थात्‌ तेरो एउटै छोरालाई पनि मबाट नरोकेकोले
17 you can be sure that I will bless you and give you many descendants. They will be as numerous as the stars of heaven and the sand of the seashore, and they will conquer their enemies.
म निश्‍चय नै तँलाई आशिष्‌ दिनेछु र म तेरा सन्‍तानको वृद्धि गरेर आकाशका तारा र समुद्र किनारका बालुवासरह तुल्‍याउनेछु । तेरा सन्‍तानले आफ्‍ना शत्रुहरूका ढोकाहरू पार गर्नेछन्‌ ।
18 All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your descendants because you did what I told you.”
तेरा सन्‍तानद्वारा पृथ्‍वीका सबै जातिहरू आशिषित्् हुनेछन्, किनकि तैंले मेरो वचन पालन गरिस्‌ ।”
19 Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they went back together to Beersheba where Abraham was living.
त्‍यसैले अब्राहाम आफ्‍ना जवान मानिसहरूकहाँ फर्केर आए, र तिनीहरू बेर्शेबासम्‍म सँगसँगै गए, अनि उनी बेर्शेबामा बसोबास गरे ।
20 Sometime later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has had sons for your brother Nahor.”
यी कुराहरू भएको केही समयपछि “मिल्‍काले पनि तपाईंका भाइ नाहोरबाट छोराहरू जन्‍माइन्‌” भन्‍ने कुरा अब्राहामले सुने ।
21 Uz was the firstborn, then his brother Buz, Kemuel (who became the ancestor of Arameans),
तिनीहरू जेठो ऊज, त्‍यसको भाइ बूज, र आरामका पिता कमूएल,
22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
र केसेद, हजो, पिलदाश, यिदलाप र बतूएल थिए ।
23 (Bethuel was Rebekah's father.) Milcah had these eight sons for Abraham's brother Nahor.
बतूएल रिबेकाका पिता भए । अब्राहामका भाइ नाहोरबाट मिल्‍काले जन्माएका आठ छोराहररू यी नै थिए ।
24 In addition, Reumah his concubine had Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
यीबाहेक रूमा नाउँ भएकी तिनकी भित्रिनीले पनि तेबह, गहम, तहस र माकालाई जन्‍माई ।
