Genesis 26
1 There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
अब्राहामको समयमा परेको पहिलो अनिकालबाहेक त्यस देशमा अर्को अनिकाल पनि पर्यो । इसहाक पलिश्तीहरूका राजा अबीमेलेककहाँ गरार देशमा गए ।
2 And God appeared to him, and said, "Do not go down into Egypt. Live in the land I will tell you about.
तिनीकहाँ देखा परेर परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “तल मिश्रमा नजा, मैले तँलाई बसोबास गर् भनेकै ठाउँमा बस् ।
3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For to you, and to your descendants, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.
यही ठाउँमा बसोबास गर्, र म तँसँग रहनेछु, र तँलाई आशिष् दिनेछु, किनकि म यी देशहरू तँ र तेरा सन्तानलाई दिनेछु, अनि तेरो बुबा अब्राहामसँग मैले शपथ खाएर दिएको प्रतिज्ञा म पुरा गर्नेछु ।
4 I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the sky, and will give to your descendants all these lands, and by your descendants will all the nations of the earth be blessed,
तेरा सन्तानलाई आकाशका ताराहरूझैँ बढाउनेछु, र तिनीहरूलाई यी सबै देश दिनेछु । संसारका सबै जातिहरूले तेरै सन्तानहरूद्वारा आशिष् पाउनेछन् ।
5 because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my requirements, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."
अब्राहामले मेरो वचन पालन गरेको र मैले दिएका आदेशहरू, मेरा आज्ञाहरू, मेरा नियमहरू र मेरा विधिविधानहरूको पालन गरेको हुनाले म यो गर्नेछु ।”
6 So Isaac settled in Gerar.
यसैकारण इसहाक गरारमा नै बसे ।
7 The men of the place asked him about his wife. He said, "She is my sister," for he was afraid to say, "My wife," lest, he thought, "the men of the place might kill me for Rebekah, because she is beautiful to look at."
त्यस ठाउँका मानिसहरूले तिनकी पत्नीको विषयमा सोधपुछ गर्दा तिनले “तिनी मेरी बहिनी हुन्” भने । किनकि तिनले यस्तो सोचे, “रिबेकालाई प्राप्त गर्नको लागि यस ठाउँका मानिसहरूले मलाई मार्नेछन्, किनकी तिनी धेरै सुन्दरी छिन् ।”
8 It happened, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and look, Isaac was caressing Rebekah, his wife.
इसहाक त्यहाँ बसेको धेरै दिनपछि पलिश्तीहरूका राजा अबीमेलेकले झ्यालबाट हेर्न पुगे । इसहाक आफ्नी पत्नी रिबेकासँग प्रेम-क्रीडा गरिरहेका थिए ।
9 Abimelech called Isaac, and said, "Look, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, 'She is my sister?'" Isaac said to him, "Because I thought, 'Lest I die because of her.'"
अबीमेलेकले इसहाकलाई आफूकहाँ बोलाएर भने, “हेर, तिनी पक्कै पनि तिम्री पत्नी हुन् । किन तिमीले ‘तिनी मेरी बहिनी हुन्’ भन्यौ?” इसहाकले उनलाई भने, “किनभने तिनलाई प्राप्त गर्नको निम्ति कसैले मार्लान् भन्ने मैले सोचें ।”
10 Abimelech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us."
अबीमेलेकले भने, “तिमीले हामीसँग यो के गरेको? कुनै मानिसले तिम्री पत्नीसित सजिलै नराम्रो कर्म गर्ने थियो, र तिमीले हामीमाथि दोष ल्याउने थियौ ।”
11 Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, "He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death."
यसकारण अबीमेलेकले सबै मानिसहरूलाई चेताउनी दिएर भने, “यी मानिस अथवा यिनकी पत्नीलाई छुने जुनसुकै मानिसलाई पनि निश्चय नै मृत्युदण्ड हुनेछ ।”
12 Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. And God blessed him.
इसहाकले त्यस देशमा बालीनाली लगाए, र त्यही साल सय गुणा कटनी गरे । किनभने परमेश्वरले तिनलाई आशिष् दिनुभयो ।
13 The man became wealthy, and prospered more and more until he became very wealthy.
तिनी धनी भए, र अत्यन्तै धनाढ्य नहुञ्जेलसम्म झनझन बढेर गए ।
14 He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Philistines envied him.
तिनका धेरै भेडाबाख्रा, गाईवस्तु र ठुलो परिवार भयो । यसैकारण पलिश्तीहरूले तिनको डाह गरे ।
15 Now all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth.
तिनका पिता अब्राहामको पालोमा उनका नोकरहरूले खनेका सबै इनारहरू पलिश्तीहरूले ढुङ्गा-माटोले पुरेर रोकिदिए ।
16 Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go from us, for you are much mightier than we."
त्यसपछि अबीमेलेकले इसहाकलाई भने, “हामीहरूबाट अब तिमी गइहाल, किनभने तिमी हामीभन्दा ज्यादै शक्तिशाली छौ ।”
17 Isaac departed from there, camped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there.
त्यसैले इसहाक त्यहाँबाट निस्केर गए अनि गरारको बेँसीमा आफ्नो पाल टाँगेर बसोबास गरे ।
18 Isaac dug again the wells which the servants of his father Abraham had dug. For the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham. And he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
तिनले आफ्ना पिताका पालोमा तिनीहरूले खनेका इनारहरू फेरि खने । अब्राहामको मृत्युपछि पलिश्तीहरूले ती रोकिदिएका थिए । अनि तिनले ती इनारहरूलाई आफ्ना पिताले राखेकै नाउँ राखिदिए ।
19 Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of flowing water.
इसहाकका नोकरहरूले बेँसीमा खन्दा बगिरहेको पानीको मूल भेट्टाए ।
20 The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." He called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
तर गरारका गोठालाहरूले इसहाकका गोठालाहरूसँग झगडा गरेर भने “यो पानी हाम्रो हो ।” यसकारण इसहाकले त्यस इनारको नाउँ एसेक राखे, किनभने तिनीहरूले उनीसँग झगडा गरे ।
21 They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. He called its name Sitnah.
तब तिनीहरूले अर्को इनार खने, र त्यसमा पनि तिनीहरूले झगडा गरे । यसकारण तिनले त्यसको नाउँ सित्ना राखे ।
22 He left that place, and dug another well. They did not argue over that one. He called it Rehoboth. He said, "For now God has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land."
तिनी त्यो ठाउँ छोडेर गए अनि तिनले अर्को इनार खने, तर तिनीहरूले त्यसमा चाहिँ झगडा गरेनन् । यसकारण तिनले त्यसको नाउँ रहोबोत राखेर यसो भने, “अब परमप्रभुले हामी निम्ति बस्ने ठाउँ दिनुभएको छ, र हामी यस ठाउँमा फल्दो-फुल्दो हुनेछौँ ।”
23 He went up from there to Beersheba.
त्यसपछि इसहाक बेर्शेबामा गए ।
24 And God appeared to him the same night, and said, "I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your descendants for my servant Abraham's sake."
परमप्रभु त्यही रात तिनीकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो अनि भन्नुभयो, “म तेरो पिता अब्राहामका परमेश्वर हुँ । नडरा, किनभने म तँसँग छु र म तँलाई आशिष् दिनेछु । अनि मेरो दास अब्राहामको खातिर म तेरा सन्तानको वृद्धि गराउनेछु ।”
25 He built an altar there, and called on the name of Jehovah, and pitched his tent there. There Isaac's servants dug a well.
इसहाकले त्यहाँ एउटा वेदी बनाएर परमप्रभुका नाउँको पुकारा गरे । तिनले आफ्नो पाल त्यहीँ नै टाँगे, र तिनका नोकरहरूले त्यहाँ एउटा इनार खने ।
26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the commander of his army.
एक दिन अबीमेलेक आफ्ना मित्र अहुज्जत र आफ्नो फौजका सेनापति पीकोललाई साथमा लिएर गरारबाट तिनीकहाँ आए ।
27 Isaac said to them, "Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?"
इसहाकले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “घृणा गरेर तपाईंहरूले आफ्नो बिचबाट मलाई निकाल्नुभयो, अनि तपाईंहरू अहिले किन मकहाँ आउँदै
28 They said, "We saw plainly that God was with you. We said, 'Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you,
हुनुहुन्छ?” त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले भने, “हामीले प्रस्टै देख्यौँ कि परमप्रभु तपाईंसँग हुनुहुन्छ । यसैले हाम्रा बिचमा, अर्थात् तपाईं र हाम्रा बिचमा एउटा सम्झौता होस् भन्ने हामीले निर्णय गर्यौँ,
29 that you will do us no harm, as we have not touched you, and as we have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace.' You are now the blessed of God."
ताकि जसरी हामीले तपाईंको कुनै हानी गरेनौँ र तपाईंसँग राम्रो व्यवहार गर्यौँ अनि तपाईंलाई शान्तिमा पठायौँ । त्यसरी नै तपाईंले पनि हाम्रो कुनै हानि गर्नुहुनेछैन । तपाईं साँच्चै नै परमप्रभुबाट आशिषित् हुनुहुन्छ ।”
30 He made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
त्यसैले इसहाकले तिनीहरूका निम्ति भोज तयार गरे, र तिनीहरूले खाए र पिए ।
31 They rose up some time in the morning, and swore an oath to each other. Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
तिनीहरू बिहान सबेरै उठे र आपसमा शपथ खाए । अनि इसहाकले तिनीहरूलाई बिदा दिए, र तिनीहरूले उनलाई शान्तिमा छाडेर गए ।
32 It happened the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, "We have found water."
त्यही दिन इसहाकका नोकरहरू आएर तिनीहरूले खनेका इनारको विषयमा तिनलाई बताए । तिनीहरूले भने, “हामीले पानी भेट्टाएका छौँ ।”
33 He called it Shibah. Therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.
तिनले त्यस इनारको नाउँ शिबा राखे, यसकारण त्यस सहरको नाउँ आजसम्म पनि बेर्शेबा नै छ ।
34 When Esau was forty years old, he married Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hethite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hethite.
चालिस वर्षको हुँदा एसावले हित्ती बेरीकी छोरी यहूदीत र हित्ती एलोनकी छोरी बासमतलाई विवाह गरी ल्याए ।
35 They brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
तिनीहरूले इसहाक र रिबेकाको जीवनमा दुःख ल्याए ।
