Genesis 30
1 When Rachel realized she was unable to give Jacob any children she was jealous of her sister. She complained to Jacob, “I'll die if you don't give me children!”
आफूले याकूबबाट कुनै सन्तान नजन्माएको देखेर राहेलले आफ्नी दिदीको डाह गरिन् । उनले याकूबलाई भनिन्, “मलाई सन्तान दिनुहोस्, नत्रभने म मर्नेछु ।”
2 Jacob became angry with Rachel and told her, “Am I God? Do you think I'm the one stopping you having children?”
राहेलमाथि याकूबको क्रोध दन्कियो । तिनले भने, “के तिमीलाई सन्तान दिनबाट रोक्नु हुने म परमेश्वरको स्थानमा छु र?
3 “Here's my personal maid Bilhah,” Rachel replied. “Sleep with her and she can have children for me so I'll have a family too.”
उनले भनिन्, “हेर्नुहोस्, मेरी कमारी बिल्हा यहीँ छे । त्योसित सहवास गर्नुहोस् ताकि त्यसले मेरो निम्ति सन्तान जन्माउन सकोस्, र त्यसद्वारा मसित सन्तान हुनेछ ।”
4 She gave her personal maid Bilhah to him as a wife and Jacob slept with her.
त्यसैले उनले आफ्नी कमारी बिल्हा याकूबकी पत्नी हुनलाई दिइन्, र याकूब त्यससित सुते ।
5 Bilhah became pregnant and had a son for Jacob.
बिल्हा गर्भवती भई र त्यसले याकूबको निम्ति एउटा छोरो जन्माई ।
6 Rachel said, “God has judged in my favor! He listened to me and gave me a son.” So she named him Dan.
त्यसपछि राहेलले भनिन्, “परमेश्वरले मेरो पक्षमा न्याय गर्नुभएको छ । उहाँले मेरो प्रार्थना सुन्नुभई मलाई एउटा छोरो दिनुभएको छ ।” त्यसैले उनले त्यसको नाउँ दान राखिन् ।
7 Rachel's personal maid Bilhah became pregnant again and had second son for Jacob.
राहेलकी कमारी बिल्हा फेरि गर्भवती भई र त्यसले याकूबको निम्ति दोस्रो छोरो जन्माई ।
8 Rachel said, “I've had a hard struggle with my sister, but I've won.” So she named him Naphtali.
राहेलले भनिन्, “निकै सङ्घर्ष गरेर मैले मेरी दिदीमाथि जित हासिल गरेको छु ।” उनले त्यसको नाउँ नप्ताली राखिन् ।
9 Leah realized she wasn't having any more children, so she gave her personal maid Zilpah to Jacob as a wife.
आफूले बच्ची जन्माउन छोडेकी देखेर उनले आफ्नी कमारी जिल्पा याकूबकी पत्नी हुनलाई दिइन् ।
10 Zilpah had a son for Jacob.
लेआकी कमारी जिल्पाले याकूबको निम्ति एउटा छोरो जन्माई ।
11 Leah said, “I'm really fortunate!” So she named him Gad.
लेआले भनिन्, “भाग्यमानी!” त्यसैले उनले त्यसको नाउँ गाद राखिन् ।
12 Leah's personal maid Zilpah became pregnant again and had a second son for Jacob.
त्यसपछि लेआकी कमारी जिल्पाले दोस्रो छोरो जन्माई ।
13 Leah said, “I'm so happy, and the other women will say I'm happy too!” So she named him Asher.
लेआले भनिन्, “म सुखी छु । किनकि स्त्रीहरूले मलाई सुखी भन्ने छन् ।” त्यसैले उनले त्यसको नाउँ आशेर राखिन् ।
14 At the time of the wheat harvest Reuben found some mandrake plants when he was out in the fields. He took them back to his mother Leah. Rachel asked Leah, “Please give me some of the mandrakes your son found.”
गहुँ कटनी गर्ने समयमा रूबेन खेतमा गए, र तिनले विशाखमूलहरू भेट्टाएर ती आफ्नी आमा लेआकहाँ लिएर आए । त्यसपछि राहेलले लेआलाई भनिन्, “तिम्रो छोराका केही विशाखमूलहरू मलाई देऊ ।”
15 “Aren't you satisfied with stealing my husband?” Leah replied. “Are you going to take my son's mandrakes too?” “Fine, he can sleep with you tonight if you give me some mandrakes in return,” Rachel responded.
लेआले उनलाई भनिन्, “के तिमीले मेरा पति मबाट लैजानु सामान्य विषय हो र? अब तिमी मेरो छोराका विशाखमूलहरू पनि लिन चाहन्छ्यौ? राहेलले भनिन्, “त्यसो भए, तिम्रो छोराका विशाखमूलहरूको सट्टामा आज राति तिनी तिमीसितै सुत्नेछन् ।”
16 When Jacob came in from the fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him. “You have to sleep with me because I've paid for you with my son's mandrakes,” she told him. So he slept with her that night.
साँझमा याकूब खेतबाट आए । लेआ तिनलाई भेट्न गइन् र भनिन्, “आज राती तपाईं मसित सुत्नुपर्छ किनकि मैले तपाईंलाई मेरो छोराका विशाखमूलहरू दिएर भाडामा लिएको छु ।” त्यसैले त्यस रात याकूब उनीसित सुते ।
17 God heard Leah's request, and she became pregnant and had a fifth son for Jacob.
परमेश्वरले लेआको पुकारा सुन्नुभयो, र उनी गर्भवती भएर याकूबको निम्ति पाँचौँ छोरो जन्माइन् ।
18 Leah said, “The Lord has rewarded me for giving my personal maid to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.
लेआले भनिन्, “परमेश्वरले मेरो ज्याला दिनुभएको छ किनभने मैले मेरी कमारी मेरा पतिलाई दिएँ ।” उनले त्यसको नाउँ इस्साखार राखिन् ।
19 Then Leah became pregnant again and had a sixth son for Jacob.
लेआ फेरि गर्भवती भइन् र उनले याकूबको निम्ति छैटौँ छोरो जन्माइन् ।
20 Leah said, “God has given me a good gift. Now my husband will honor me because I've given him six sons.” So she named him Zebulun.
लेआले भनिन्, “परमेश्वरले मलाई अनमोल उपहार दिनुभएको छ । अब मेरा पतिले मलाई इज्जत गर्नुहुनेछ किनभने मैले उहाँका निम्ति छवटा छोरा जन्माएँ ।” उनले त्यसको नाउँ जबूलून राखिन् ।
21 Later she had a daughter she named Dinah.
त्यसपछि उनले एउटी छोरी जन्माइन् र त्यसको नाउँ दीना राखिन् ।
22 Then God paid attention to Rachel and listened to her appeals, and helped her to have children.
परमेश्वरले राहेललाई याद गर्नुभयो र उनको पुकारा सुन्नुभयो । उहाँले उनको गर्भ खोलिदिनुभयो ।
23 She became pregnant and had a son. “God has removed my disgrace,” she said.
उनी गर्भवती भइन् र एउटा छोरो जन्माइन् । उनले भनिन्, “परमेश्वरले मेरो लाज हटाइदिनुभएको छ ।”
24 She named him Joseph, saying, “May the Lord give me an additional son.”
उनले यसो भन्दै त्यसको नाउँ योसेफ राखिन्, “परमप्रभुले मलाई अर्को छोरो दिनुभएको छ ।”
25 Once Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Let me leave so I can return to my home and my own country.
राहेलले योसेफलाई जन्माएपछि याकूबले लाबानलाई भने, “मलाई बिदा दिनुहोस्, ताकि म मेरो आफ्नै घर र मेरो देशमा जान सकूँ ।
26 Give me my wives and children because I worked for you to have them. Let me go now because you know very well how much work I've done for you.”
मलाई मेरा पत्नीहरू र मेरा छोराछोरीहरू दिनुहोस् जसको निम्ति मैले तपाईंको सेवा गरेको छु । मलाई जान दिनुहोस् किनकि मैले तपाईंको सेवा गरेको त तपाईंलाई थाहै छ ।”
27 “Please be so kind as to stay,” Laban replied, “because I have discovered that the Lord has blessed me because of you.”
लाबानले तिनलाई भने, “मैले तिम्रो दृष्टिमा निगाह पाएको छु भने पर्ख, किनभने पूर्वलक्षणको प्रयोगद्वारा मैले थाहा पाएको छु, कि तिम्रो कारणले गर्दा परमप्रभुले मलाई आशिष् दिनुभएको छ ।
28 Then Laban continued, “Tell me how much to pay you and I'll give it to you.”
त्यसपछि तिनले भने, “तिम्रो ज्याला कति भयो, मलाई भन । म तिरिदिनेछु ।”
29 “You certainly know how much work I've done for you, and how well your flocks have done under my care.
याकूबले लाबानलाई भने, “मैले तपाईंको कस्तो सेवा गरेको छु र तपाईंका गाईबस्तु कसरी सप्रेका छन् भनी तपाईं जान्नुहुन्छ ।
30 You hardly had anything before I arrived, but now you have so much! The Lord has blessed you through what I've done. When am I going to be able to provide for my own family?”
म आउनुअगि तपाईंसित थोरै मात्र थियो तर अहिले प्रचुर मात्रामा वृद्धि भएका छन् । मैले जहाँसुकै काम गरे तापनि परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई आशिष् दिनुभएको छ । अब मेरो आफ्नै घरानाको निम्तिचाहिँ मैले कहिले बन्दोवस्त गर्ने?”
31 “Well, what do you propose I give you?” Laban asked again. “You don't have to give me anything,” Jacob replied. “If you want to do something for me, then how about this: I'll go on looking after your flocks, making sure they're fed.
त्यसैले लाबानले भने, “म तिमीलाई के दिऊँ?” याकूबले भने, “तपाईंले मलाई केही पनि दिनुपर्दैन । तपाईंले मलाई केही दिनुभयो भने मैले फेरि तपाईंको बगाललाई खुवाउनुपर्ने हुन्छ र यसको हेरचाह गर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ ।
32 Let me go through your flocks today and take all the sheep that are speckled or spotted, and all the dark ones, as well as all the speckled and spotted goats. They'll be my wages.
आज मलाई तपाईंको बगालबाट थुमाहरूका बिचमा हरेक थोप्ले, हरेक पेटारे र हरेक कालो अनि बाख्राहरूका बिचमा पनि हरेक थोप्ले र पेटारे छुट्ट्याउन दिनुहोस् । यी मेरा ज्याला हुनेछन् ।
33 In the future you'll be able to prove that I've been honest. When you check my flock, any goats that don't have speckles or spots, or any sheep that aren't dark will be considered stolen from you.”
तपाईं मेरा ज्यालाको हिसाब गर्न आउनुहुँदा पछि मेरो सत्यनिष्ठाले नै मेरो गवाही दिनेछ । बाख्राहरूका बिचमा थोप्ले र पेटारे नभएको अनि थुमाहरूका बिचमा कालो नभएको मध्ये कुनै फेला पारियो भने ती मैले चोरेको ठहरिनेछ ।”
34 “Very good,” Laban agreed. “We'll do as you say.”
लाबानले भने, “हुन्छ । तिम्रो वचनअनुसार नै होस् ।”
35 However, the same day Laban went and removed all the striped and spotted male goats, all the speckled and spotted female goats, and all the dark sheep. He had his sons look after them and sent them away—
त्यस दिन लाबानले थोप्ले र पेटारे बाख्राहरू अनि सेतो दाग भएका सबै थोप्ले र पेटारे बाख्रीहरू अनि थुमाहरूका बिचमा भएका सबै काला थुमाहरू छुट्ट्याए र ती आफ्ना छोराहरूलाई दिए ।
36 a three day journey between them and Jacob, while Jacob was looking after the rest of Laban's flocks.
लाबानले तिनी र याकूबको बिचमा तिन दिनको यात्राको अन्तर पनि राखे । त्यसैले याकूबले लाबानका बाँकी बगालहरू चराइरहे ।
37 Then Jacob cut some sticks from poplar, almond, and plane trees that had white wood under the bark. He peeled off some of the bark, making the sticks look streaked with white.
याकूबले ताजा लहरे-पीपल, हाडे बदाम र चिनारका रुखका भर्खरै काटिएका हाँगाहरू लिए, र तिनमा सेतो धर्का बनाउनलाई बोक्राहरू ताछे ।
38 He put the sticks he'd peeled in the water troughs where the flocks came to drink because that's where they mated.
त्यसपछि तिनले बगालहरूको सामु रहेका ती ताछिएका हाँगाहरू पानी पिउन आउने डूँडको सामु राखे । पानी पिउन आउँदा तिनीहरू गर्भवती भए ।
39 The flocks mated in front of the sticks and gave birth to young that were streaked, speckled, and spotted.
ती बगालहरू हाँगाहरूका सामुन्ने मिसिने भएकाले तिनीहरूले पाठापाठी पनि त्यस्तै छिर्केमिर्के, पेटारे र थोप्ले ब्याए ।
40 Jacob separated all these ones out. Then he made his flock face towards those in Laban's flock that were streaked and dark. This is the way he kept his flocks apart from Laban's flock.
याकूबले यी थुमाहरूलाई छुट्ट्याए, तर बाँकी बगाललाई चाहिँ छिर्केमिर्के जनावरहरूतिर फर्काएर राखे अनि सबै काला थुमालाई चाहिँ लाबानको बगालमा राखिदिए । त्यसपछि तिनले आफ्नो बगाललाई चाहिँ अलग गरे र लाबानको बगालसित मिसाएनन् ।
41 When the strong females were ready to breed, Jacob put the sticks in the troughs where the flocks could see them when they mated.
बलिया भेडाहरू मिसिँदा याकूबले बगालहरूका सामुन्ने डूँडमा ती हाँगाहरू राखिदिन्थे ताकि तिनीहरू हाँगाहरूकै बिचमा गर्भवती होऊन् ।
42 He didn't do this for the weaker females. The weaker ones went to Laban, and the strong ones went to Jacob.
तर बगालमा भएका कमजोर जनावरहरू आउँदा तिनले तिनीहरूको सामु हाँगाहरू राख्दैनथ्ये । यसरी कमजोर जनावरहरू लाबानका भए र बलियाहरू याकूबका भए ।
43 In this way Jacob became an extremely rich man with large flocks, and many male and female slaves, camels, and donkeys.
याकूबले ज्यादै उन्नति गरे । तिनका ठुला-ठुला बगालहरू, नोकर-चाकरहरू ऊँटहरू र गधाहरू थिए ।
