Genesis 29
1 Then Iaakob lift vp his feete and came into the East countrey.
तब याकूब आफ्नो बाटो लागे र पूर्वका मानिसहरूको देशमा पुगे ।
2 And as he looked about, behold there was a well in the field, and lo, three flocks of sheepe lay thereby (for at that well were the flockes watered) and there was a great stone vpon the welles mouth.
तिनले हेर्दा मैदानमा एउटा इनार देखे, र त्यसको नजिक भेडाका तिनवटा बगाल बसिरहेका थिए । किनकि त्यही इनारबाट तिनीहरूले बगाललाई पानी खुवाउँथे, र इनारको मुख ढाक्ने ढुङ्गा ठुलो थियो ।
3 And thither were all the flockes gathered, and they rolled the stone from the welles mouth, and watered the sheepe, and put the stone againe vpon the welles mouth in his place.
सबै बगालहरू त्यहाँ जम्मा भएपछि गोठालाहरूले इनारको मुखबाट ढुङ्गा गुडाएर भेडाहरूलाई पानी खान दिन्थे । त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले त्यो ढुङ्गालाई इनारको मुखमा फेरि पहिलेकै ठाउँमा राखिदिन्थे ।
4 And Iaakob sayde vnto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they answered, We are of Haran.
याकूबले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “हे मेरा भाइ हो, तिमीहरू कहाँका हौ?” तिनीहरूले भने, “हामी हारानका हौँ ।”
5 Then he sayd vnto them, Know ye Laban the sonne of Nahor? Who said, We know him.
उनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरू नाहोरका छोरो लाबानलाई चिन्छौ?” तिनीहरूले भने, “हामी तिनलाई चिन्छौँ ।”
6 Againe he sayd vnto them, Is he in good health? And they answered, He is in good health, and beholde, his daughter Rahel commeth with the sheepe.
उनले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे, “के उहाँ सन्चै हुनुहुन्छ?” तिनीहरूले भने, “उहाँ सन्चै हुनुहुन्छ, र हेर्नुहोस्, उहाँकी छोरी राहेल भेडाहरू लिएर आउँदै छिन् ।”
7 Then he sayd, Lo, it is yet hie day, neither is it time that the cattell shoulde be gathered together: water ye the sheepe and go feede them.
याकूबले भने, “हेर, मध्य दिन भएको छ । भेडा-बाख्राहरूलाई जम्मा गर्ने बेला भएको छैन । भेडाहरूलाई पानी खुवाएर जाओ र तिनीहरूलाई चर्न देओ ।
8 But they sayde, We may not vntill all the flocks be brought together, and till men rolle the stone from the welles mouth, that we may water the sheepe.
तिनीहरूले भने, “सबै बगालहरू जम्मा नभई हामी तिनीहरूलाई पानी खुवाउन सक्दैनौँ । त्यसपछि यी मानिसहरूले इनारको मुखको ढुङ्गो हटाउनेछन्, अनि हामी भेडाहरूलाई पानी खुवाउनेछौँ ।”
9 While he talked with them, Rahel also came with her fathers sheepe, for she kept them.
याकूब तिनीहरूसँग कुरा गरिरहेकै बेला, राहेल आफ्ना बुबाका भेडाहरू लिएर त्यहाँ आइपुगिन्, किनकि तिनले भेडाहरू चराउँदै थिइन् ।
10 And assoone as Iaakob saw Rahel ye daughter of Laban his mothers brother, and the sheepe of Laban his mothers brother, then came Iaakob neere, and rolled the stone from the welles mouth, and watered ye flocke of Laban his mothers brother.
जब याकूबले आफ्ना मामा लाबानकी छोरी राहेल र लाबानका भेडाहरू देखे, याकूबले नजिक आएर इनारको मुखको ढुङ्गा गुडाए, अनि आफ्ना मामा लाबानका भेडाहरूलाई पानी खुवाए ।
11 And Iaakob kissed Rahel, and lift vp his voyce and wept.
तब याकूबले राहेललाई चुम्बन गरे र डाको छोडेर रोए ।
12 (For Iaakob tolde Rahel, that he was her fathers brother, and that he was Rebekahs sonne) then she ranne and tolde her father.
याकूबले राहेललाई आफू तिनका बाबुको नातेदार र रिबेकाको छोरा भएको कुरा बताए । तब राहेल दौडेर गइन् र आफ्ना बाबुलाई यो कुरा बताइन् ।
13 And when Laban heard tell of Iaakob his sisters sonne, he ranne to meete him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house: and he tolde Laban all these things.
आफ्ना भानिज याकूब आएको समाचार पाउने बित्तिकै लाबान तिनलाई भेट्नलाई दौडेर गएर तिनलाई अँगालो हालेर चुम्बन गरे, अनि तिनलाई आफ्नो घरमा ल्याए । याकूबले लाबानलाई सबै कुरा बताइदिए ।
14 To whome Laban sayd, Well, thou art my bone and my flesh. and he abode with him the space of a moneth.
लाबानले तिनलाई भने, “वास्तवमा तिमी मेरो हाड र मासु हौ ।” त्यसपछि याकूब तिनीसँग करिब एक महिना बसे ।
15 For Laban sayde vnto Iaakob, Though thou be my brother, shouldest thou therfore serue me for nought? tell me, what shalbe thy wages?
त्यसपछि लाबानले याकूबलाई भने, “मेरा नातेदार हुँदैमा तिमीले सित्तैँमा मेरो सेवा गर्नुपर्छ र? तिम्रो ज्याला कति हो मलाई भन ।”
16 Now Laban had two daughters, the elder called Leah, and the yonger called Rahel.
लाबानका दुई जना छोरी थिए । जेठीको नाउँ लेआ र कान्छीको नाउँ राहेल थियो ।
17 And Leah was tender eyed, but Rahel was beautifull and faire.
लेआका आँखा धमिला थिए, तर राहेलचाहिँ शारीरिक रूपमा सुडौल र हेर्नमा सुन्दरी थिइन् ।
18 And Iaakob loued Rahel, and sayde, I will serue thee seuen yeeres for Rahel thy yonger daughter.
याकूबले राहेललाई प्रेम गरे, त्यसैले तिनले भने, “तपाईंकी कान्छी छोरी राहेलको निम्ति म सात वर्षसम्म तपाईंको सेवा गर्नेछु ।”
19 Then Laban answered, It is better that I giue her thee, then that I should giue her to another man: abide with me.
लाबानले भने, “त्यसलाई अर्को मानिसलाई दिनुभन्दा त तिमीलाई दिनु नै असल हो । मसँगै बस ।”
20 And Iaakob serued seuen yeres for Rahel, and they seemed vnto him but a few dayes, because he loued her.
यसकारण याकूबले राहेलको निम्ति सात वर्षसम्म सेवा गरे । राहेलप्रति तिनको प्रेमको कारण तिनलाई त्यो समय तिनलाई थोरै दिनजस्तो लाग्यो ।
21 Then Iaakob sayde to Laban, Giue me my wife, that I may goe in to her: for my terme is ended.
त्यसपछि याकूबले लाबानलाई भने, “मैले सेवा गर्ने दिनहरू पुरा भएको हुनाले मलाई मेरी पत्नी दिनुहोस् ताकि म तिनीसँग विवाह गर्न सकूँ ।”
22 Wherefore Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
तब लाबानले त्यस ठाउँका सबै मानिसहरू जम्मा गरेर भोज दिए ।
23 But whe the euening was come, he tooke Leah his daughter and brought her to him, and he went in vnto her.
साँझमा उनले आफ्नी छोरी लेआलाई याकूबकहाँ ल्याइदिए, र याकूबले तिनीसँग सहवास गरे ।
24 And Laban gaue his mayde Zilpah to his daughter Leah, to be her seruant.
लाबानले आफ्नी कमारी जिल्पालाई आफ्नी छोरी लेआकी कमारी हुनलाई दिए ।
25 But when the morning was come, behold, it was Leah. Then sayde he to Laban, Wherefore hast thou done thus to mee? did not I serue thee for Rahel? wherfore then hast thou beguiled me?
याकूबले बिहान हेर्दा त लेआ पो रहिछन् । तिनले लाबानलाई भने, “तपाईंले मप्रति यो के गर्नुभएको? मैले राहेलको निम्ति सेवा गरेको होइन र? त्यसो भए तपाईंले किन मसित छल गर्नुभयो?”
26 And Laban answered, It is not the maner of this place, to giue the yonger before the elder.
लाबानले भने, “जेठीको भन्दा कान्छीको विवाह अगि गर्ने रीति हामीकहाँ छैन ।
27 Fulfill seuen yeeres for her, and we wil also giue thee this for the seruice, which thou shalt serue me yet seuen yeeres more.
यो छोरीसँग एक साता पुरा गर, र अर्को सात वर्ष मेरो सेवाको सट्टामा म तिमीलाई अर्की पनि दिनेछु ।”
28 Then Iaakob did so, and fulfilled her seuen yeeres, so he gaue him Rahel his daughter to be his wife.
याकूबले त्यसै गरे, र लेआसँग एक साता पुरा गरे । तब लाबानले आफ्नी छोरी राहेललाई पनि याकूबकी पत्नीको रूपमा दिए ।
29 Laban also gaue to Rahel his daughter Bilhah his mayde to be her seruant.
लाबानले आफ्नी कमारी बिल्हालाई आफ्नी छोरी राहेलकी कमारी हुनलाई दिए ।
30 So entred he in to Rahel also, and loued also Rahel more then Leah, and serued him yet seuen yeeres more.
त्यसैले याकूबले राहेलसँग पनि सहवास गरे, तर तिनले लेआलाई भन्दा राहेललाई बढी प्रेम गर्थे । यसकारण याकूबले थप सात साल लाबानको सेवा गरे ।
31 When the Lord saw that Leah was despised, he made her fruitful: but Rahel was barren.
लेआलाई प्रेम नगरिएको परमप्रभुले देख्नुभयो, त्यसैले उहाँले तिनको कोख खोलिदिनुभयो । तर राहेलका सन्तान भएका थिएनन् ।
32 And Leah conceiued and bare a sonne, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Because the Lord hath looked vpon my tribulation, now therefore mine husband will loue me.
लेआले गर्भवती भएर एक छोरो जन्माइन्, र तिनले यसो भनेर त्यसको नाम रूबेन राखिन् । “साँच्ची नै परमप्रभुले मेरो दु: ख देख्नुभएको छ, अब त मेरा पतिले निश्चय नै मलाई प्रेम गर्नुहुनेछ ।”
33 And she conceiued againe and bare a sonne, and sayde, Because the Lord heard that I was hated, he hath therefore giuen me this sonne also, and she called his name Simeon.
तिनी फेरि गर्भवती भइन् र अर्को छोरा जन्माइन् । तिनले भनिन्, “म प्रेमविहीन छु भनी परमेश्वरले सुन्नुभएको हुनाले उहाँले मलाई यो छोरा पनि दिनुभयो,” र तिनले त्यसको नाउँ शिमियोन राखिन् ।
34 And she conceiued againe and bare a sonne, and said, Now at this time wil my husband keepe mee company, because I haue borne him three sonnes: therefore was his name called Leui.
तिनी फेरि गर्भवती भइन् र एक जना छोरो जन्माइन् । तिनले भनिन्, “अब त मेरा पति मप्रति आकर्षित हुनुहुनेछ, किनभने मैले उहाँको निम्ति तिन जना छोरा पाइसकेँ ।” यसकारण त्यसको नाउँ लेवी राखियो ।
35 Moreouer shee conceiued againe and bare a sonne, saying, Nowe will I prayse the Lord: therefore shee called his name Iudah, and left bearing.
तिनी फेरि गर्भवती भएर छोरो पाइन् र भनिन्, “यस पाली त म परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर्नेछु ।” यसैले त्यसको नाउँ यहूदा राखियो । त्यसपछि तिनले जन्माउन छोडिन् ।
