< Genesis 12 >

1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
परमप्रभुले अब्रामलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तेरो देश, तेरा नातेदारहरू र तेरो पिताको घरानाबाट मैले तँलाई देखाउने मुलुकतिर जा ।
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
म तँलाई ठुलो जाति बनाउनेछु, म तँलाई आशिष् दिनेछु, तेरो नाउँ महान् हुनेछ र तँ आशिष् हुनेछस् ।
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
तँलाई आशिष् दिनेलाई म आशिष् दिनेछु, तर तँलाई अनादर गर्नेलाई म सराप दिनेछु । तँद्वारा नै पृथ्वीका सबै परिवारहरूले आशिष् पाउनेछन् ।
4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram [was] seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
यसैले परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभएबमोजिम अब्राम गए र लोत पनि तिनीसँगै गए । हारान छोडेर जाँदा अब्राम पचहत्तर वर्षका थिए ।
5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
अब्रामले तिनकी पत्‍नी साराई, तिनका भतिजा लोत, तिनीहरूले हारानमा जम्‍मा गरेका सम्पत्ति र प्राप्‍त गरेका मानिसहरू सबै लगे । तिनीहरू कनानको भूमिमा जानलाई हिँडे र कनानको भूमिमा आइपुगे ।
6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite [was] then in the land.
अब्राम त्यो भूमि हुँदै शकेममा भएको मोरेको फलाँटको रुखसम्म गए । त्यस बेला त्यो भूमिमा कनानीहरू बस्थे ।
7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
परमप्रभु अब्रामकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो र भन्‍नुभयो, “यो भूमि म तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई दिनेछु ।” यसैले अब्रामले तिनीकहाँ देखा पर्नुहुने परमप्रभुको निम्ति एउटा वेदी बनाए ।
8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, [having] Beth-el on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.
त्यहाँबाट तिनी बेथेलको पूर्वतिरको देशतिर गए, जहाँ तिनले बेथेललाई पश्‍चिमतिर र ऐलाई पूर्वतिर पारेर तिनको पाल टाँगे । त्यहाँ तिनले एउटा वेदी बनाए र परमप्रभुको नाउँको पुकारा गरे ।
9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
अनि अब्राम यात्रा गर्दै नेगेवतिर गए ।
10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine [was] grievous in the land.
त्यो भूमिमा अनिकाल लागेको थियो, यसैले अब्राम बस्‍नलाई मिश्रतिर झरे (गए), किनकि त्यो भूमिमा निकै अनिकाल लागेको थियो ।
11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou [art] a fair woman to look upon:
तिनी मिश्र प्रवेश गर्न लाग्दा, तिनले आफ्‍नी पत्‍नी साराईलाई भने, “हेर, तिमी कति सुन्दरी स्‍त्री छौ भनी म जान्दछु ।
12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This [is] his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
मिश्रीहरूले तिमीलाई देख्‍दा 'यो यसकी पत्‍नी हो' भन्‍ने छन् र तिनीहरूले मलाई मार्ने छन्, तर तिनीहरूले तिमीलाईचाहिँ जीवितै राख्‍नेछन् ।
13 Say, I pray thee, thou [art] my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
यसैले तिमी मेरी बहिनी हौ भनी तिमीले भन, ताकि तिम्रो खातिर मेरो भलो होस् र तिम्रो खातिर मेरो जीवन बाँचोस् ।
14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she [was] very fair.
मिश्र प्रवेश गर्न लग्दा साराई अति सुन्दरी थिइन् भनी मिश्रीहरूले देखे ।
15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
फारोका अधिकारीहरूले तिनलाई देखे र फारोको सामु तिनको प्रशंसा गरे र ती स्‍त्रीलाई फारोको घरानामा लगियो ।
16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.
फारोले तिनको खातिर अब्रामलाई राम्रो व्यवहार गरे र तिनलाई गोरु, गधाहरू, नोकरीहरू, गधैनीहरू र ऊँटहरू दिए ।
17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram’s wife.
अनि परमप्रभुले अब्रामकी पत्‍नी साराईको कारण फारो र तिनको परिवारमाथि ठुलो विपत्ति ल्याउनुभयो ।
18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What [is] this [that] thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she [was] thy wife?
फारोले अब्रामलाई बोलाए र भने, “तिमीले मलाई यो के गरेको? तिनी तिम्रो पत्‍नी थिइन् भनी मलाई किन बताएनौ?
19 Why saidst thou, She [is] my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take [her], and go thy way.
'तिनी मेरी बहिनी हुन्' भनी तिमीले किन मलाई भन्यौ? त्यसैले मैले तिनलाई मेरी पत्‍नी बनाउन मैले लगेँ । यसकारण, तिम्रो पत्‍नी यहीँ छिन् । तिनलाई लेऊ र आफ्‍नो बाटो लाग ।
20 And Pharaoh commanded [his] men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
अनि फारोले तिनको बारेमा आफ्‍ना मानिसहरूलाई आदेश दिए र तिनीहरूले तिनलाई तिनकी पत्‍नी र तिनीसँग भएका सबै थोकसहित पठाए ।
