Genesis 42

1 And Jacob sees that there is grain in Egypt, and Jacob says to his sons, “Why do you look at each other?”

अब मिश्रमा अनाज पाइँदोरहेछ भनी याकूबलाई थाहा भयो । तिनले आफ्ना छोराहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरू किन एक-अर्कालाई हेर्छौ?”

2 He also says, “Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt, go down there, and buy for us from there, and we live and do not die”;

तिनले भने, “मिश्रमा अनाज छ भनी मैले सुनेको छु । हामी जीवित रहनको लागि तल गएर हाम्रो लागि अनाज किन ।”

3 and the ten brothers of Joseph go down to buy grain in Egypt,

योसेफका दस जना दाजु मिश्रमा अनाज किन्‍नका लागि गए ।

4 and Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob has not sent with his brothers, for he said, “Lest harm meet him.”

तर याकूबले योसेफका भाइ बेन्यामीनलाई तिनका दाजुहरूसँगै पठाएनन् किनकि तिनीमाथि कुनै हानि आइपर्ला कि भनी तिनी डराए ।

5 And the sons of Israel come to buy in the midst of those coming, for the famine has been in the land of Canaan,

किन्‍न आउनेहरूमध्ये इस्राएलका छोराहरू पनि थिए किनकि कनान देशमा पनि अनिकाल परेको थियो ।

6 and Joseph is the ruler over the land, he who is selling to all the people of the land, and Joseph’s brothers come and bow themselves to him—face to the earth.

योसेफ मिश्रका अधिपति थिए । तिनले देशका सबै मानिसलाई अनाज बेच्थे । योसेफका दाजुहरू आए, र तिनीहरूले भुइँसम्मै निहुरेर तिनलाई ढोग गरे ।

7 And Joseph sees his brothers, and discerns them, and makes himself strange to them, and speaks sharp things with them, and says to them, “From where have you come?” And they say, “From the land of Canaan—to buy food.”

योसेफले आफ्ना दाजुहरूलाई देखेर चिने, तर तिनले नचिनेका जस्तै गरी तिनीहरूसित कडासँग बोले । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरू कहाँबाट आएका हौ?” तिनीहरूले भने, “अनाज किन्‍नका लागि कनान देशबाट आएका हौँ ।”

8 And Joseph discerns his brothers, but they have not discerned him,

योसेफले आफ्ना दाजुहरूलाई चिने, तर तिनीहरूले भने तिनलाई चिनेनन् ।

9 and Joseph remembers the dreams which he dreamed of them and says to them, “You [are] spies; you have come to see the nakedness of the land.”

त्यसपछि योसेफले तिनीहरूको बारेमा आफूले देखेका सपनाहरू सम्झे र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरू जासुस हौ । तिमीहरू यो देशका असुरक्षित भागहरू हेर्न आएका हौ ।”

10 And they say to him, “No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food;

तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “त्यसो होइन, हजुर । तपाईंका दासहरू अनाज किन्‍न आएका हुन् । हामी सबै एउटै मानिसका छोराहरू हौँ ।

11 we [are] all of us sons of one man, we [are] right men; your servants have not been spies”;

हामी इमानदार मानिसहरू हौँ । हामी तपाईंका दासहरू जासुस होइनौँ ।”

12 and he says to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land”;

तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरू यो देशका असुरक्षित भागहरू हेर्न आएका हौ ।”

13 and they say, “Your servants [are] twelve brothers; we [are] sons of one man in the land of Canaan, and behold, the young one [is] with our father today, and one is not.”

तिनीहरूले भने, “हामी तपाईंका दासहरू बार्‍ह जना दाजुभाइ छौँ र हामी कनान देशका एउटै मानिसका छोराहरू हौँ । हेर्नुहोस्, कान्छोचाहिँ अहिले हाम्रा पितासित छन् र एक जना भाइचाहिँ अब जिउँदो छैनन् ।”

14 And Joseph says to them, “This [is] that which I have spoken to you, saying, You [are] spies,

योसेफले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “त्यसैले मैले तिमीहरूलाई भनेँ कि तिमीहरू जासुस हौ ।

15 by this you are proved: [as] Pharaoh lives, if you go out from this—except by your young brother coming here;

यसैद्वारा तिमीहरूको जाँच हुनेछ । फारोको शपथ खाएर म भन्दछु कि तिमीहरूका कान्छा भाइ यहाँ नआउञ्‍जेलसम्म तिमीहरू यहाँबाट जान पाउनेछैनौ ।

16 send one of you, and let him bring your brother, and you, remain bound, and let your words be proved, whether truth be with you: and if not, [as] Pharaoh lives, surely you [are] spies”;

तिमीहरूमध्ये कोही एक जना गएर तिनलाई लिएर आऊ । तिमीहरूको वचन सत्य छ कि छैन भनेर जाँच गर्नको लागि तिमीहरू झ्यालखानामा हालिन्छौ ।”

17 and he gathers them into confinement [for] three days.

तिनले तिनीहरू सबैलाई तिन दिनसम्म कैदखानामा राखे ।

18 And Joseph says to them on the third day, “Do this and live; I fear God!

तेस्रो दिनमा याकूबले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “यसो गर, र तिमीहरू बाँच्नेछौ किनकि म परमेश्‍वरदेखि डराउँछु ।

19 If you [are] right men, let one of your brothers be bound in the house of your confinement, and you, go, carry in grain [for] the famine of your houses,

तिमीहरू इमानदार मानिस हौ भने एक जनालाई यही झ्यालखानामा छोड, र तिमीहरूचाहिँ जाओ । तिमीहरूका परिवारहरूका लागि आफूसित अनाज पनि लिएर जाओ ।

20 and you bring your young brother to me, and your words are established, and you do not die”; and they do so.

तिमीहरूका कान्छा भाइ मकहाँ लिएर आओ र तिमीहरूको कुरा साँचो ठहरिनेछ अनि तिमीहरू मर्नेछैनौ ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरूले त्यसै गरे ।

21 And they say to one another, “Truly we [are] guilty concerning our brother, because we saw the distress of his soul, in his making supplication to us, and we did not listen: therefore this distress has come on us.”

तिनीहरूले एक-अर्कालाई भने, “हाम्रा भाइको सम्बन्धमा हामी साँच्‍चै दोषी छौँ किनकि तिनले हामीसित बिन्ती गर्दा तिनको व्याकुलता हामीले देख्यौँ तापनि हामीले तिनको कुरा सुनेनौँ । त्यसैले यो व्याकुलता हामीमाथि आइपरेको हो ।”

22 And Reuben answers them, saying, “Did I not speak to you, saying, Do not sin against the boy? And you did not listen; and his blood also, behold, it is required.”

रूबेनले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिए, “'त्यस केटोको विरुद्धमा पाप नगर' भनेर के मैले तिमीहरूलाई भनेको थिइनँ र? तर तिमीहरूले मेरो कुरा सुनेनौँ । अब हामीले त्यसको रगतको बदला भोग्‍नुपर्छ ।

23 And they have not known that Joseph understands, for the interpreter [is] between them;

योसेफले तिनीहरूका कुरा बुझे भनी तिनीहरूले थाहा पाएनन् किनकि तिनीहरूका बिचमा अर्थ खोल्ने व्यक्ति थियो ।

24 and he turns around from them, and weeps, and turns back to them, and speaks to them, and takes Simeon from them, and binds him before their eyes.

तिनी तिनीहरूबाट एकातिर गई रोए । तिनीहरूकहाँ फर्केर आई तिनले तिनीहरूसित कुराकानी गरे । तिनले तिनीहरूका बिचबाट शिमियोनलाई लिएर तिनीहरूकै आँखाका सामु तिनलाई बाँधे ।

25 And Joseph commands, and they fill their vessels [with] grain, also to put back the money of each of them into his sack, and to give to them provision for the way; and one does to them so.

त्यसपछि योसेफले आफ्ना दाजुहरूका झोलाहरू अनाजले भरी हरेकको रुपियाँ-पैसा उसकै बोराभित्र हाल्न र यात्राको लागि सरसामानको बन्दोवस्त गरिदिन आफ्ना नोकरहरूलाई आज्ञा गरे ।

26 And they lift up their grain on their donkeys, and go from there,

आफ्ना गधाहरूमा अनाज लादेर तिनका दाजुहरू त्यहाँबाट प्रस्थान गरे ।

27 and the one opens his sack to give provender to his donkey at a lodging-place, and he sees his money, and behold, it [is] in the mouth of his bag,

विश्राम स्थलमा आफ्नो गधालाई दाना दिनलाई बोरा खोल्दा एक जनाले आफ्नो रुपियाँ-पैसा देखे । यो तिनको बोराको मुखैमा थियो ।

28 and he says to his brothers, “My money has been put back, and also, behold, in my bag”: and their heart goes out, and they tremble, to one another saying, “What [is] this God has done to us!”

तिनले आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरुलाई भने, “मेरो रुपियाँ-पैसा त फिर्ता गरिएको रहेछ । हेर त, यो त मेरै बोराभित्र छ ।” तिनीहरूको हंसले ठाउँ छाड्यो । तिनीहरू डरले काम्दै यसो भने, “परमेश्‍वरले यो हामीलाई के गर्नुभएको?”

29 And they come to their father Jacob, to the land of Canaan, and they declare to him all the things meeting them, saying,

तिनीहरू कनानमा आफ्ना पिता याकूबकहाँ फर्केर तिनीहरूमाथि आइपरेका सबै कुरा बताइदिए । तिनीहरूले भने,

30 “The man, the lord of the land, has spoken with us sharp things, and makes us as spies of the land;

“त्यस देशका मालिकले हामीसित कठोरतापूर्वक बोले र हामी त्यहाँ जासुस भएर गएका थियौँ भनी ठाने ।

31 and we say to him, We [are] right men, we have not been spies,

हामीले तिनलाई भन्यौँ, 'हामी इमानदार मानिसहरू हौँ । हामी जासुस होइनौँ ।

32 we [are] twelve brothers, sons of our father, one is not, and the young one [is] today with our father in the land of Canaan.

हामी बार्‍ह जना दाजुभाइ छौँ, र एउटै पिताका छोराहरू हौँ । एक जना अब जीवित छैन र कान्छोचाहिँ अहिले कनानमा हाम्रा पितासितै छन् ।'

33 And the man, the lord of the land, says to us, By this I know that you [are] right men—leave one of your brothers with me, and take [for] the famine of your houses and go,

त्यस देशका मालिकले हामीलाई भने, 'यसैद्वारा तिमीहरू इमानदार मानिस हौ कि होइनौ भनेर म थाहा पाउनेछु । तिमीहरूमध्ये एक जना यहीँ बस, अनिकालको कारणले गर्दा तिमीहरूका परिवारहरूका लागि अनाज लिएर आफ्नो बाटो लाग ।

34 and bring your young brother to me, and I know that you [are] not spies, but you [are] right men; I give your brother to you, and you trade with the land.”

तिमीहरूका कान्छो भाइ मकहाँ लिएर आओ । तब तिमीहरू जासुस नभई इमानदार मानिस रहेछौ भनी मैले थाहा पाउनेछु । त्यसपछि म तिमीहरूका दाजुलाई छाडिदिनेछु र तिमीहरू यस देशमा व्यापार गरेर बस' ।”

35 And it comes to pass, they are emptying their sacks, and behold, the bundle of each man’s silver [is] in his sack, and they see their bundles of silver, they and their father, and are afraid;

तिनीहरूले आफ्ना बोराहरू खोल्दा हरेकको बोराभित्र चाँदीको पोको रहेछ । तिनीहरू र तिनीहरूका पिताले चाँदीको पोको देखेपछि तिनीहरू डराए । तिनीहरूका पिता

36 and their father Jacob says to them, “You have bereaved me; Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and Benjamin you take—all these [things] have been against me.”

याकूबले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले मबाट मेरा सन्तानहरू खोसेर मलाई शोकित तुल्याएका छौ । योसेफ अब जीवित छैन, शिमियोन पनि छैन र तिमीहरूले बेन्यामीन पनि मबाट लैजानेछौ । यी सबै कुरा मेरो विरुद्धमा छन् ।”

37 And Reuben speaks to his father, saying, “You put to death my two sons, if I do not bring him to you; give him into my hand, and I bring him back to you”;

रूबनले आफ्ना पितालाई यसो भने, “मैले बेन्यामीन तपाईंकहाँ फर्काएर ल्याइनँ भने तपाईंले मेरा दुई छोरालाई मार्न सक्‍नुहुन्छ । तिनलाई मेरो जिम्मामा सुम्पिदिनुस्, र म तिनलाई फेरि तपाईंकहाँ ल्याउनेछु ।”

38 and he says, “My son does not go down with you, for his brother [is] dead, and he by himself is left; when harm has met him in the way in which you go, then you have brought down my grey hairs in sorrow to Sheol.” (Sheol h7585)

याकूबले भने, “मेरो छोरो तिमीहरूसितै तल जानेछैन । किनकि तिनका दाजु मरिसके र तिनी एक्लै छन् । तिमीहरू जाने बाटोमा तिनीमाथि कुनै खतरा आइपर्‍यो भने तिमीहरूले मेरो फुलेको कपाललाई शोकसँगै पातालमा पुर्‍याउनेछौ ।” (Sheol h7585)
