< Genesis 22 >

1 And it came to pass after these things, that God, did prove Abraham, —and he said unto him, Abraham! And he said Behold me!
यी कुराहरूपछि परमेश्‍वरले अब्राहामको जाँच गर्नुभयो । उहाँले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “ए अब्राहाम!” अब्राहमले भने, “म यहीँ छु ।”
2 And he said—Take, I pray thee, thy son, thine only one, whom thou lovest, even, Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah and cause him to ascend there as an ascending-sacrifice, on one of the mountains which I shall name unto thee.
त्यसपछि परमेश्‍वरले भन्‍नुभयो, “तैँले माया गर्ने तेरो छोरो इसहाकलाई लिएर मोरीयाहको देशमा जा । त्यहाँको कुनै एक डाँडामा त्यसलाई होमबलि गर्‌, जुन म तँलाई बताउनेछु ।”
3 So Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took his two young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the pieces of wood for an ascending-sacrifice, and mounted and went his way unto the place which God had named to him.
त्यसैले अब्राहाम बिहानै उठेर गधामा काठी कसे, अनि आफ्‍ना दुई जवान मानिसहरू र आफ्‍नो छोरो इसहाकलाई साथमा लिए । उनले होमबलिको निम्‍ति दाउरा चिरे, त्यसपछि परमेश्‍वरले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभएको ठाउँतर्फ यात्रा सुरु गरे ।
4 It was, on the third day, that Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
तेस्रो दिन अब्राहामले माथि हेरे र टाढा त्‍यो ठाउँ देखे ।
5 And Abraham said unto his young men—Tarry by yourselves here with the ass, but I and the young man must go yonder, —that we may bow ourselves down and return unto you.
अब्राहामले आफ्‍ना जवान मानिसहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरू गधासँग यहीँ बस, अनि म र यो केटो त्यहाँ जानेछौँ । हामी पूजा गर्नेछौँ र तिमीहरूकहाँ फेरि फर्केर आउनेछौँ ।”
6 So Abraham took the pieces of wood for the ascending-sacrifice, and laid them on Isaac his son, and took in his own hand the fire and the knife, and they went on their way, both of them together.
त्यसपछि अब्राहामले होमबलिको निम्ति दाउरा लिए र आफ्‍नो छोरो इसहाकलाई बोकाए । उनले आगो र छुरी आफ्‍नो हातमा लिए अनि ती दुवै जना सँगसँगै गए ।
7 Then said Isaac unto Abraham his father, then said he; My father! And he said, Behold me, my son, And he said, Behold the fire, and the pieces of wood, —but where is the lamb, for an ascending-sacrifice?
इसहाकले आफ्‍ना पिता अब्राहामलाई भने, “बुबा,” अनि तिनले भने, “म यहीँ छु, मेरो छोरा ।” त्‍यसले भन्‍यो, “आगो र दाउरा त यहाँ छन्, तर होमबलिको लागि थुमाचाहिँ खोइ?”
8 And Abraham said, God, will provide for himself the lamb for an ascending-sacrifice, my son! So they went on their way, both of them, together.
अब्राहामले भने, “मेरो छोरा, परमेश्‍वरले नै होमबलिको निम्‍ति थुमा जुटाइदिनुहुनेछ ।” अनि ती दुवै सँगसँगै गए ।
9 Then came they into the place which God had named to him, and Abraham built there the altar, and laid in order the pieces of wood, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, above the pieces of wood.
परमेश्‍वरले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभएको ठाउँमा पुगेपछि अब्राहामले त्‍यहाँ एउटा वेदी बनाएर दाउरा राखे । त्‍यसपछि तिनले आफ्‍नो छोरो इसहाकलाई बाँधेर वेदीमा दाउरामाथि राखे ।
10 And Abraham put forth his hand, and took the knife, —to slay his son.
अब्राहामले आफ्‍नो छोरालाई मार्न छुरी उठाए ।
11 Then called out unto him the messenger of Yahweh out of the heavens, and said. Abraham, Abraham! And he said Behold me!
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुका एक जना दूतले स्‍वर्गबाट तिनलाई भने, “ए अब्राहाम, अब्राहाम!” तिनले भने, “म यहीँ छु ।”
12 Then he said, Do not put forth thy hand unto the young man, neither do to him—anything at all, —for, now, know I that one who reverest God, thou art, when thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only one, from me.
उनले भने, “तेरो हात त्‍यस केटामाथि नउठा, न त त्‍यसलाई केही गर, आफ्‍नो एक मात्र छोरालाई पनि मबाट तैंले रोकेर राखिनस्‌ भन्‍ने देखेर तैँले परमेश्‍वरको भय मान्दोरहेछस् भनी मैले अब थाहा पाएँ
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! a ram, behind, caught in a thicket by his horns, and Abraham went, and took the ram, and caused him to ascend as an ascending-sacrifice instead of his son.
।” अब्राहामले माथितिर हेरे र एउटा भेडा झाडीमा सीङ अल्‍झेर फसेको देखे । अब्राहामले गएर त्‍यस भेडालाई ल्‍याए, र तिनका छोराको सट्टामा त्‍यसैलाई होमबलि चढाए ।
14 So Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh-yireh, —as to which it is still said to-day, In the mountain of Yahweh, will provision be made.
यसकारण अब्राहामले त्‍यस ठाउँको नाउँ “परमप्रभुले जुटाउनुहुन्‍छ” राखे, र “परमप्रभुको डाँडामा जुटाइनेछ” भनी आजसम्म पनि भनिन्‍छ ।
15 Then called out the messenger of Yahweh unto Abraham, —a second time out of the heavens;
परमप्रभुका दूतले दोस्रो पल्‍ट स्‍वर्गबाट अब्राहामलाई बोलाएर भने,
16 and said, By myself, have I sworn is the oracle of Yahweh, —Because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one,
यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, “मैले आफ्‍नै नाउँमा शपथ खाएको छु, कि तैंले यो काम गरेकोले र तेरो छोरो, अर्थात्‌ तेरो एउटै छोरालाई पनि मबाट नरोकेकोले
17 That I will, richly bless, thee, and, abundantly multiply, thy seed, as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the lip of the sea, —that thy seed may take possession of the gate of his foes:
म निश्‍चय नै तँलाई आशिष्‌ दिनेछु र म तेरा सन्‍तानको वृद्धि गरेर आकाशका तारा र समुद्र किनारका बालुवासरह तुल्‍याउनेछु । तेरा सन्‍तानले आफ्‍ना शत्रुहरूका ढोकाहरू पार गर्नेछन्‌ ।
18 So shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves in thy seed, —Because thou didst hearken unto my voice.
तेरा सन्‍तानद्वारा पृथ्‍वीका सबै जातिहरू आशिषित्् हुनेछन्, किनकि तैंले मेरो वचन पालन गरिस्‌ ।”
19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they mounted, and went on their way together unto Beer-sheba, —and Abraham dwelt in Beer-sheba.
त्‍यसैले अब्राहाम आफ्‍ना जवान मानिसहरूकहाँ फर्केर आए, र तिनीहरू बेर्शेबासम्‍म सँगसँगै गए, अनि उनी बेर्शेबामा बसोबास गरे ।
20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, —Behold! Milcah—she also, hath borne sons, to Nahor thy brother:
यी कुराहरू भएको केही समयपछि “मिल्‍काले पनि तपाईंका भाइ नाहोरबाट छोराहरू जन्‍माइन्‌” भन्‍ने कुरा अब्राहामले सुने ।
21 Uz his firstborn and Buz his brother, —and Kemuel, father of Aram—
तिनीहरू जेठो ऊज, त्‍यसको भाइ बूज, र आरामका पिता कमूएल,
22 and Chesed and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, —and Bethuel;
र केसेद, हजो, पिलदाश, यिदलाप र बतूएल थिए ।
23 And, Bethuel, hath begotten Rebekah, —These eight, hath Milcah borne to Nahor brother of Abraham.
बतूएल रिबेकाका पिता भए । अब्राहामका भाइ नाहोरबाट मिल्‍काले जन्माएका आठ छोराहररू यी नै थिए ।
24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also, hath borne Tebah and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
यीबाहेक रूमा नाउँ भएकी तिनकी भित्रिनीले पनि तेबह, गहम, तहस र माकालाई जन्‍माई ।
