Genesis 42

1 Now Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, so Jacob said to his sons, "Why do you look at one another?"

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

2 He said, "Look, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us from there, so that we may live and not die."

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

3 So Joseph's ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.

योसेफका दस जना दाजु मिश्रमा अनाज किन्‍नका लागि गए ।

4 But Jacob did not send Joseph's brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, "Some harm might happen to him."

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

5 So the sons of Israel went to buy among the other travelers, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

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

6 Now Joseph was the ruler over the country, and it was he who sold to all the people of the land. Joseph's brothers came and bowed themselves down to him with their faces to the ground.

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

7 Joseph saw his brothers, and he recognized them, but he acted like he did not know them, and spoke harshly with them. And he said to them, "Where do you come from?" And they said, "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 So Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.

योसेफले आफ्ना दाजुहरूलाई चिने, तर तिनीहरूले भने तिनलाई चिनेनन् ।

9 Then Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed about them, and said to them, "You are spies. You have come to look for the vulnerabilities of the country."

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

10 But they said 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 sons of one man. We are honest men. Your servants are not spies."

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

12 But he said to them, "No, but you have come to look for the vulnerabilities of the country."

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

13 But they said, "We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and look, the youngest is now with our father, and one is no more."

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 But Joseph said to them, "It is as I said to you, saying, 'You are spies.'

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

15 This is how you will be tested. By the life of Pharaoh, you will not leave from here until your youngest brother comes 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 get your brother, and you will stay in prison, so that your words can be tested, whether there is truth in you. Or else, by the life of Pharaoh, 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 So he put all of them together in prison for three days.

तिनले तिनीहरू सबैलाई तिन दिनसम्म कैदखानामा राखे ।

18 Then Joseph said to them the third day, "Do what I say, and live, for I fear God.

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

19 If you are honest, then let one of your brothers remain confined in your prison; but you go and carry grain for the hunger of your households.

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

20 But bring your youngest brother to me so that your words will be verified, and you won't die." To this they agreed.

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

21 Then they said to one another, "We are certainly guilty concerning our brother, because we saw how distressed he was when he pleaded with us, and we wouldn't listen. Therefore this distress has come upon 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 Reuben answered them, saying, "Did I not tell you, saying, 'Do not sin against the boy,' but you wouldn't listen? Therefore, look, now comes a reckoning for his blood."

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 Now they did not know that Joseph could understand them, since he was speaking through an interpreter.

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

24 He stepped away from them and wept. Then he returned to them and talked with them. Then he took Simeon from them and bound him in front of them.

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

25 Then Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain, and to restore every man's silver into his sack, and to give them food for the journey. And it was done for them.

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

26 They loaded their donkeys with their grain, and departed from there.

आफ्ना गधाहरूमा अनाज लादेर तिनका दाजुहरू त्यहाँबाट प्रस्थान गरे ।

27 As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey food at the lodging place, he saw his silver. Look, it was in the mouth of his sack.

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

28 He said to his brothers, "My silver has been returned. Look, it is in my sack." And they were dismayed, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, "What is this that 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 Then they returned to their father Jacob to the land of Canaan, and told him all that had happened to them, saying,

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

30 "The man, the lord of the country, spoke harshly to us, and he put us in custody as spies of the country.

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

31 But we said to him, 'We are honest men. We are not spies.

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

32 We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is now 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 The man, the lord of the country, said to us, 'By this I will know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for the hunger of your households, and go your way.

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 Bring your youngest brother to me. Then I will know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. So I will deliver your brother to you, and you may travel in 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 Then it happened as they emptied their sacks, that look, every man's bag of silver was in his sack. When they and their father saw their bags of silver, they were afraid.

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

36 Then their father Jacob said to them, "You have deprived me of my children. Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin away. All this has come 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 Reuben spoke to his father, saying, "Kill my two sons if I do not bring him to you. Put him in my care, and I will 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 But he said, "My son will not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. If harm should happen to him on the journey you are taking, then you will bring down my gray hairs with 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)
