Genesis 28
1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
इसहाकले याकूबलाई बोलाएर आशीर्वाद दिए, र यसो भनेर आज्ञा गरे, “तैँले कनानी स्त्रीहरूबाट आफ्नो निम्ति पत्नी नलिनू ।
2 Arise, go to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother’s brother.
पद्दन-आराममा तेरी आमाका बुबा बतूएलको घरमा गएर त्यहीँबाट तेरा मामा लाबानका छोरीहरूमध्ये एउटीलाई विवाह गर् ।
3 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a company of peoples;
सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वरले तँलाई आशिष् देऊन्; तँलाई फल्दो-फुल्दो गराएर तेरो वृद्धि गराऊन्, ताकि तँ मानिसहरूको एक समूह बन्न सक्नेछस् ।
4 and give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land of thy sojournings, which God gave unto Abraham.
उहाँले तँलाई र तँ पछिका तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई अब्राहामले पाएको आशिष् देऊन्, ताकि परमेश्वरले अब्राहामलाई दिनुभएको तँ बसेको देशमा तेरै अधिकार होस् ।”
5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Paddan-aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
यसरी इसहाकले याकूबलाई पठाए । तिनी पद्दन-आराममा एसाव र याकूबकी आमा रिबेकाका दाजु अरामी बतूएलका छोरा लाबानकहाँ गए ।
6 Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
अब इसहाकले याकूबलाई आशीर्वाद दिएर पत्नी ल्याउन त्यहाँबाट पद्दन-आराममा पठाएको देखे । याकूबले तिनलाई आशीर्वाद दिएर यस्तो आज्ञा दिएको पनि उनले देखे “तैँले कनानी स्त्रीहरूबाट आफ्नो निम्ति पत्नी नलिनू ।”
7 and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan-aram:
याकूबले आफ्ना बाबुआमाको आज्ञा मानेर पद्दन-आरामतर्फ गएको पनि एसावले देखे ।
8 and Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
कनानी स्त्रीहरू आफ्ना बुबालाई मनपर्दैन रहेछ भन्ने एसावले थाहा पाए ।
9 and Esau went unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
तब एसाव इश्माएलकहाँ गए, र उनका आफ्ना पत्नीहरूबाहेक अब्राहामका छोरा इश्माएलकी छोरी र नबायोतकी बहिनी महलतलाई आफ्नी पत्नीको रूपमा ल्याए ।
10 And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran.
याकूब बेर्शेबा छोडेर हारानतिर लागे ।
11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
कुनै एउटा ठाउँमा पुगेपछि सूर्य अस्ताएको हुनाले तिनी त्यस रात त्यहीँ बास बसे । त्यस ठाउँमा भएका ढुङ्गाहरूमध्येबाट एउटा लिएर आफ्नो सिरान बनाई त्यही ठाउँमा सुत्नलाई पल्टे ।
12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
तिनले पृथ्वीमा खडा गरिएको एउटा भर्याङको सपना देखे । त्यसको टुप्पाचाहिँ आकाशसम्मै पुगेको रहेछ र परमेश्वरका दूतहरू त्यसमा उक्लने र ओर्लने गर्दा रहेछन् ।
13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD, the God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
परमप्रभुले त्यसमाथि उभिएर याकूबलाई भन्नुभयो, “म परमप्रभु, तेरा पिता अब्राहामका परमेश्वर र इसहाकका परमेश्वर हुँ । जुन भूमिमा तँ ढल्किरहेको छस् त्यो म तँलाई र तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई दिनेछु ।
14 and thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
तेरा सन्तान पृथ्वीको धुलोसरह हुनेछन् । तँ पश्चिम, पूर्व, उत्तर र दक्षिणतिर फैलिएर जानेछस् । तँ र तेरा सन्तानहरूद्वारा नै पृथ्वीका सबै मानिसहरू आशिषित्् हुनेछन् ।
15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
हेर्, म तँसँग छु र तँ जहाँसुकै गए तापनि म तेरो रक्षा गर्नेछु । म फेरि तँलाई यस ठाउँमा फर्काएर ल्याउनेछु । किनकि मैले तँलाई प्रतिज्ञा गरेका कुरा पुरा नगरुञ्जेल म तँलाई छोड्नेछैनँ ।”
16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.
तब याकूबले निद्राबाट ब्युँझेर भने, “निश्चय नै परमप्रभु यस ठाउँमा हुनुहुँदोरहेछ, र मलाई यो थाहा थिएन ।”
17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
तिनले डराएर भने, “यो ठाउँ कस्तो भययोग्य रहेछ । यो त परमेश्वरको घरबाहेक अरू केही होइन । यो त स्वर्गको ढोका हो ।”
18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.
याकूब बिहान सबेरै उठे, र आफूले सिरान बनाएको ढुङ्गा लिए । त्यसलाई खामोजस्तै गरी खडा गरेर त्यसको टुप्पामा तेल खन्याए ।
19 And he called the name of that place Beth-el: but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
तिनले त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ बेथेल राखे । पहिले त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ लूज थियो ।
20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
तब याकूबले यसो भनेर भाकल गरे, “यदि परमेश्वर मेरो साथमा रहनुभयो, मेरो यात्रामा मलाई रक्षा गर्नुभयो, मलाई खानलाई रोटी र लाउनलाई वस्त्र दिनुभयो
21 so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, then shall the LORD be my God,
भने म कुशलपूर्वक फेरि मेरा बुबाको घरमा फर्कन्छु, अनि परमप्रभु नै मेरा परमेश्वर हुनुहुनेछ ।
22 and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
त्यसपछि मैले खामो बनाएको यो ढुङ्गाचाहिँ पवित्र ढुङ्गा हुनेछ । तपाईंले मलाई दिनुभए जति सबै थोकको दशांश म तपाईंलाई अवश्य चढाउनेछु ।”
