< Genesis 27 >
1 And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, [here am] I.
जब इसहाक वृद्ध भए र तिनका आँखा कमजोर भएर देख्न नसक्ने भए, तब तिनले आफ्ना जेठा छोरा एसावलाई बोलाएर भने, “ए मेरो छोरो ।” उनले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “हजुर, म यहीँ छु ।”
2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
तिनले भने, “हेर्, म वृद्ध भएँ । मेरो मर्ने दिनको बारेमा मलाई थाहा छैन ।
3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me [some] venison;
अब तेरा हतियारहरू, अर्थात् तेरो ठोक्रो र धनु लिएर मैदानमा जा, र मेरो निम्ति सिकार गर् ।
4 And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring [it] to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.
मलाई मनपर्ने स्वादिष्ठ तरकारी बनाई मकहाँ ले ताकि यो खाएर मेरो मृत्युअगि म तँलाई आशिष् दिऊँ ।”
5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt [for] venison, [and] to bring [it].
इसहाकले आफ्नो छोरो एसावसँग कुरा गरेको रिबेकाले सुनिन् । एसाव शिकार मारेर ल्याउन मैदानमा गए ।
6 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
रिबेकाले आफ्ना छोरा याकूबलाई भनिन्, “हेर्, तेरा पिताले तेरो दाजु एसावसँग यसो भनेर कुरा गरेको मैले सुनेँ ।
7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death.
‘सिकार मारेर मकहाँ ले र मलाई मनपर्ने स्वादिष्ठ तरकारी बना ताकि यो खाएर मेरो मृत्युअगि परमप्रभुको सामुन्ने तँलाई आशिष् दिन सकूँ ।’
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
यसकारण यसकारण ए मेरो छोरो, मैले तँलाई दिएका आज्ञा मान् ।
9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:
बथानमा गएर दुईवटा असल पाठा लिएर आइज, र म तेरा बुबालाई मनपर्ने स्वादिष्ठ तरकारी बनाउनेछु ।
10 And thou shalt bring [it] to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
अनि तैंले त्यो तेरा बुबाकहाँ लैजा, ताकि तिनले यो खाएर आफ्नो मृत्युअगि तँलाई आशिष् देऊन् ।”
11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man, and I [am] a smooth man:
याकूबले आफ्नी आमा रिबेकालाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, मेरा दाजु एसाव रौँ नै रौँ भएका मानिस हुन्, र मचाहिँ रौँ नभएको छु ।
12 My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
सायद मेरा पिताले मलाई छाम्नुहुनेछ, र उहाँको सामु म छली देखिनेछु । मैले ममाथि आशिष् होइन, सराप ल्याउनेछु ।”
13 And his mother said unto him, Upon me [be] thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me [them].
तिनकी आमाले तिनलाई भनिन्, “हे मेरो छोरो, जुनसुकै सराप भए पनि त्यो ममाथि नै परोस् । केवल मेरो कुरा मान्, र गएर ती मकहाँ ले ।”
14 And he went, and fetched, and brought [them] to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
तब तिनी गएर ती पाठा ल्याए र आमालाई दिए, र तिनकी आमाले याकूबका बुबालाई मनपर्ने स्वादिष्ठ तरकारी तयार गरिन् ।
15 And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which [were] with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
रिबेकाले घरमा भएका आफ्ना जेठो छोरो एसावका असल लुगाहरू झिकेर आफ्नो कान्छा छोरो याकूबलाई लगाइदिइन् ।
16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
बाख्राका पाठाका छालाहरू तिनले याकूबका हात र घाँटीका रौँ नभएका भागमा लगाइदिइन्,
17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
अनि आफूले तयार पारेका स्वादिष्ठ तरकारी र रोटी आफ्ना छोरा याकूबका हातमा दिइन् ।
18 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here [am] I; who [art] thou, my son?
याकूबले आफ्ना पिताकहाँ गएर भने, “बुबा ।” इसहाकले भने, “हँ, तँ को होस्?”
19 And Jacob said unto his father, I [am] Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
याकूबले आफ्ना पितालाई भने, “म तपाईंको जेठो छोरो एसाव हुँ । तपाईंले मलाई भनेबमोजिम मैले गरेको छु । अब उठेर बस्नुहोस्, र मैले ल्याएको सिकारको मासु खानुहोस्, र मलाई आशिष् दिनुहोस् ।”
20 And Isaac said unto his son, How [is it] that thou hast found [it] so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought [it] to me.
इसहाकले आफ्ना छोरालाई भने, “मेरो छोरो, कसरी तैँले यति चाँडै त्यो भेट्टाउन सकिस्?” तिनले भने, “परमप्रभु तपाईंका परमेश्वरले यसलाई मकहाँ ल्याउनुभयो ।”
21 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou [be] my very son Esau or not.
इसहाकले याकूबलाई भने, “मेरो छोरो, नजिकै आइज, तँ मेरो छोरो एसाव होस् कि होइनस् म छामेर थाहा पाउन सकूँ ।”
22 And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice [is] Jacob’s voice, but the hands [are] the hands of Esau.
याकूब आफ्ना पिताको नजिकै गए, र इसहाकले तिनलाई छामेर भने, “सोर त याकूबको हो, तर हातहरू त एसावकै हुन् ।”
23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau’s hands: so he blessed him.
तिनका हातहरू तिनका दाजु एसावकै हातजस्ता रौँ नै रौँ भएका हुनाले इसहाकले तिनलाई चिनेनन्, त्यसैले इसहाकले तिनलाई आशिष् दिए ।
24 And he said, [Art] thou my very son Esau? And he said, I [am].
इसहाकले सोधे, “के तँ साँच्चै मेरो छोरो एसाव नै होस्?” याकूबले जवाफ दिए, “म एसाव नै हुँ ।”
25 And he said, Bring [it] near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought [it] near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank.
तब इसहाकले भने, “तैँले शिकार गरेको मासु यहाँ ले, र म खानेछु, र तँलाई आशिष् दिऊँ ।” याकूबले त्यो मासु आफ्ना पिताकहाँ ल्याए । उनले खाए र याकूबले दाखमद्य पनि लगिदिए, र उनले पिए ।
26 And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
तब तिनका पिता इसहाकले तिनलाई भने, “मेरो छोरो, मेरो नजिकै आएर मलाई मलाई चुम्बन गर् ।”
27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son [is] as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:
याकूब नजिक गएर आफ्ना पितालाई चुम्बन गरे । अनि इसहाकले तिनका लुगाहरूको गन्ध सुँघेर यसो भनी आशिष् दिए, “हेर, मेरो छोराको बास्ना, परमप्रभुले आशिष् दिनुभएको खेतको बास्नाजस्तै छ ।
28 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
परमेश्वरले तँलाई आकाशको शीत र पृथ्वीको प्रचुरता अनि धेरै दाखमद्य र अन्न देऊन् ।
29 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee: cursed [be] every one that curseth thee, and blessed [be] he that blesseth thee.
मानिसहरूले तेरो सेवा गरून् र जाति-जातिहरूले तँलाई दण्डवत् गरून् । तेरा दाजुभाइहरूको मालिक बन्, र तेरी आमाका छोराहरूले तँलाई दण्डवत् गरून् । तँलाई सराप्नेहरू सबै श्रापित होऊन्, र तँलाई आशिष् दिनेहरू सबैले आशिष् पाऊन् ।”
30 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
इसहाकले आशिष् दिइसक्ने बित्तिकै याकूब आफ्ना पिता इसहाकको उपस्थितिबाट निस्केर गएका मात्र थिए, उनका उनका दाजु एसाव शिकार खेलेर आइपुगे ।
31 And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that thy soul may bless me.
उनले पनि स्वादिष्ठ तरकारी तयार गरेर आफ्ना पिताकहाँ ल्याए । उनले आफ्नो पितालाई भने, “बुबा, उठेर आफ्नो छोराले ल्याएको सिकार खानुहोस्, र मलाई आशिष् दिनुहोस् ।”
32 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who [art] thou? And he said, I [am] thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
उनका पिता इसहाकले उनलाई सोधे, “तँ को होस्?” उनले उत्तर दिए, “म तपाईंको जेठो छोरो एसाव हुँ ।”
33 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where [is] he that hath taken venison, and brought [it] me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, [and] he shall be blessed.
इसहाक बेसरी कामे र भने, “त्यसो भए सिकार मारेर यहाँ मकहाँ ल्याउने त्यो को थियो? तँ आउन अगि नै मैले त्यो सबै खाएर त्यसलाई आशिष् दिइसकेँ । वास्तवमा, त्योचाहिँ आशीर्वादी हुनेछ।”
34 And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, [even] me also, O my father.
जब एसावले आफ्ना पिता इसहाकका कुरा सुने तब उनी अत्यन्तै विह्वल भई चर्को सोरले रोए र आफ्ना पितालाई भने, “हे मेरा बुबा, मलाई पनि आशिष् दिनुहोस् ।”
35 And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing.
इसहाकले भने, “तेरो भाइ छल गरेर आयो, र तैंले पाउने आशिष् लग्यो ।”
36 And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
एसावले भने, “त्यसको नाउँ याकूब राखिएको के ठिकै होइन? किनभने त्यसले मलाई दुई पल्ट ठग्यो । त्यसले मेरो ज्येष्ठ-अधिकार हर्यो, र अहिले मैले पाउने आशिष् पनि लग्यो ।” उनले फेरि भने, “के तपाईंले मेरो निम्ति एउटै आशिष् पनि जगेडा राख्नुभएको छैन?”
37 And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?
इसहाकले एसावलाई जवाफ दिए, “हेर्, मैले त्यसलाई तेरो मालिक तुल्याइसकेँ । र त्यसका सबै दाजुभाइहरूलाई मैले त्यसका दास तुल्याएँ । अन्न र दाखमद्यले मैले त्यसलाई तृप्त पारेको छु । अब तेरो निम्ति म के गर्न सक्छु र, छोरो?”
38 And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, [even] me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
एसावले आफ्ना पितालाई भने, “तपाईंसित मेरो निम्ति एउटै मात्र आशिष् छैन र मेरा बुबा? मलाई पनि त आशिष् दिनुहोस् ।” एसाव डाँको छोडेर रोए ।
39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
उनका पिता इसहाकले जवाफ दिएर भने, “हेर्, तँ बस्ने जमिन पृथ्वीको प्रशस्तताबाट बाहिरै हुनेछ, आकाशको शीतबाट बाहिर ।
40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
तैंले आफ्नो तरवारको बलले जीविका चलाउनेछस् र तैंले तेरो भाइको सेवा गर्नेछस् । तर जब तैंले विद्रोह गर्नेछस्, तब त्यसको जुवा तेरो काँधबाट हल्लाएर फ्याँक्नेछस् ।”
41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.
आफ्ना पिताले याकूबलाई दिएको त्यस आशिष्ले गर्दा एसावले तिनलाई घृणा गर्न लागे । एसावले हृदयमा भने, “मेरा पिताको शोकको बेला नजिकै छ । त्यसपछि म मेरो भाइ याकूबलाई मार्नेछु ।”
42 And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, [purposing] to kill thee.
तिनका जेठा छोरा एसावको यो कुरा रिबेकालाई सुनाइयो । यसकारण रिबेकाले आफ्ना कान्छा छोरा याकूबलाई बोलाएर भनिन्, “हेर्, तेरो दाजु एसावले तँलाई मार्ने विचार गरेर आफ्नो चित्त बुझाएको छ ।
43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;
यसकारण मेरो छोरो, मैले भनेको कुरा मान् र हारानमा मेरा दाजु लाबानकहाँ भागेर जा ।
44 And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother’s fury turn away;
तँप्रति तेरो दाजुको रिस नमरुञ्जेल केही दिन त्यहाँ उनीसँग बस् र
45 Until thy brother’s anger turn away from thee, and he forget [that] which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
तैंले त्यसमाथि गरेको काम बिर्सन्छ । त्यसपछि म तँलाई त्यहाँबाट लिन पठाउनेछु । मैले एकै दिनमा तिमीहरू दुवै जनालाई किन गुमाउने?”
46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these [which are] of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
रिबेकाले इसहाकलाई भनिन्, “यहाँका हित्ती स्त्रीहरूको कारण मेरो जीवनै हैरान भइसक्यो । यदि याकूबले यस देशका स्त्रीहरूजस्तै हित्तीका छोरीहरूमध्ये एउटीलाई विवाह गर्यो भने मेरो लागि मेरो जीवनको के फाइदा हुन्छ र?”
