< Genesis 26 >

1 And there came to be a famine in the land, besides the first famine which happened in the days of Abraham, —so Isaac went his way unto Abimelech, king of the Philistines towards Gerar;
अब्राहामको समयमा परेको पहिलो अनिकालबाहेक त्‍यस देशमा अर्को अनिकाल पनि पर्‍यो । इसहाक पलिश्‍तीहरूका राजा अबीमेलेककहाँ गरार देशमा गए ।
2 and Yahweh appeared unto him, and said, do not go down towards Egypt, —Make thy habitation in the land, which I may name unto thee:
तिनीकहाँ देखा परेर परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “तल मिश्रमा नजा, मैले तँलाई बसोबास गर् भनेकै ठाउँमा बस्‌ ।
3 Sojourn in this land, that I may be with thee and bless thee, —for, to thee, and to thy seed, will I give all these lands, So will I establish the oath which I sware to Abraham thy 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 and will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens, and will give to thy seed, all these lands, —And all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves in thy seed:
तेरा सन्‍तानलाई आकाशका ताराहरूझैँ बढाउनेछु, र तिनीहरूलाई यी सबै देश दिनेछु । संसारका सबै जातिहरूले तेरै सन्‍तानहरूद्वारा आशिष्‌ पाउनेछन् ।
5 Because that Abraham hearkened unto my voice, —and so kept my charge, 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 dwelt in Gerar.
यसैकारण इसहाक गरारमा नै बसे ।
7 Then asked the men of the place as to his wife, and he said, My sister, is she, —For he feared to say My wife, lest [said he] the men of the place should slay me on account of Rebekah, for fair to look on, she is.
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 And it came to pass when the days had lengthened out to him there, that Abimelech king of the Philistines, looked out through the lattice of a window, —and he beheld and lo! Isaac—laughing with Rebekah his wife.
इसहाक त्‍यहाँ बसेको धेरै दिनपछि पलिश्‍तीहरूका राजा अबीमेलेकले झ्‍यालबाट हेर्न पुगे । इसहाक आफ्‍नी पत्‍नी रिबेकासँग प्रेम-क्रीडा गरिरहेका थिए ।
9 So Abimelech called for Isaac, and said, But lo she is, thy wife! How then, saidst thou, She is, my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because, I said, Lest I die on her account.
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 Then, said, Abimelech, What is this thou hast done to us? A little more, and one of the people might have lien with thy wife, so shouldst thou have brought upon us, guilt.
अबीमेलेकले भने, “तिमीले हामीसँग यो के गरेको? कुनै मानिसले तिम्री पत्‍नीसित सजिलै नराम्रो कर्म गर्ने थियो, र तिमीले हामीमाथि दोष ल्‍याउने थियौ ।”
11 And Abimelech commanded all the people saying, —He that toucheth this man or his wife, shall 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 And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year, a hundredfold, —seeing that Yahweh had blessed him.
इसहाकले त्यस देशमा बालीनाली लगाए, र त्‍यही साल सय गुणा कटनी गरे । किनभने परमेश्‍वरले तिनलाई आशिष्‌ दिनुभयो ।
13 So the man waxed great, —and went on and on waxing great until that he had waxed exceeding great.
तिनी धनी भए, र अत्‍यन्‍तै धनाढ्य नहुञ्‍जेलसम्म झनझन बढेर गए ।
14 So he came to have possessions of flocks and possessions of herds, and a large body of servants, —and the Philistines envied him.
तिनका धेरै भेडाबाख्रा, गाईवस्तु र ठुलो परिवार भयो । यसैकारण पलिश्‍तीहरूले तिनको डाह गरे ।
15 And as for all the wells which the servants of his father digged, in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped them up, and filled them with dust.
तिनका पिता अब्राहामको पालोमा उनका नोकरहरूले खनेका सबै इनारहरू पलिश्‍तीहरूले ढुङ्गा-माटोले पुरेर रोकिदिए ।
16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, —Get thee from us, for thou hast become far mightier than we.
त्‍यसपछि अबीमेलेकले इसहाकलाई भने, “हामीहरूबाट अब तिमी गइहाल, किनभने तिमी हामीभन्दा ज्‍यादै शक्तिशाली छौ ।”
17 So Isaac went from thence, —and encamped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
त्यसैले इसहाक त्‍यहाँबाट निस्‍केर गए अनि गरारको बेँसीमा आफ्‍नो पाल टाँगेर बसोबास गरे ।
18 And Isaac again digged the wells of water which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father, and which the Philistines stopped up after the death of Abraham, —and he called their names, after the names which his father 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 And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, —and found there a well of living water.
इसहाकका नोकरहरूले बेँसीमा खन्‍दा बगिरहेको पानीको मूल भेट्टाए ।
20 And the herdmen of Gerar disputed with the herdmen of Isaac saying, Ours, is the, water! So he called the name of the well Esek, because they had stirred up a quarrel 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 And they digged another well, and they disputed over that also, —so he called the name thereof Sitnah.
तब तिनीहरूले अर्को इनार खने, र त्‍यसमा पनि तिनीहरूले झगडा गरे । यसकारण तिनले त्‍यसको नाउँ सित्‍ना राखे ।
22 And he moved on from thence and digged another well, and they disputed not for it, —so he called the name thereof. Rehoboth, and said, For, now, hath Yahweh made room for us, and we shall 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 And he went up from thence, to Beer-sheba.
त्‍यसपछि इसहाक बेर्शेबामा गए ।
24 And Yahweh appeared unto him the same night, and said, I, am the God of Abraham thy father, —Do not fear for with thee, am, I, And I will bless thee and multiply thy seed, For the sake of Abraham my servant.
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 So he builded there all altar and called on the name of Yahweh, and spread out there, his tent, —and the servants of Isaac cut out there 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 And, Abimelech, came unto him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol, commander of his host.
एक दिन अबीमेलेक आफ्‍ना मित्र अहुज्‍जत र आफ्‍नो फौजका सेनापति पीकोललाई साथमा लिएर गरारबाट तिनीकहाँ आए ।
27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore have ye come in mite me, seeing that, ye, hated me, and sent me away from you?
इसहाकले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “घृणा गरेर तपाईंहरूले आफ्नो बिचबाट मलाई निकाल्‍नुभयो, अनि तपाईंहरू अहिले किन मकहाँ आउँदै
28 And they said: We, saw plainly, that Yahweh was with thee, so we said, Let there be we pray thee an oath betwixt us both, betwixt us and thee, —and let us solemnise a covenant with thee: —
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, thou wilt not do wrong by us, according as we touched not thee, and according as we did by thee nothing but good, and then sent thee away in peace, thee who, now, art blessed of Yahweh!
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 So he made for them a banquet, and they did eat and drink, —
त्यसैले इसहाकले तिनीहरूका निम्‍ति भोज तयार गरे, र तिनीहरूले खाए र पिए ।
31 and rose up early in the morning, and took an oath each man to his brother, so Isaac let them go, 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 And it came to pass, on the same day, that the servants of Isaac came in, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, 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 So he called it, Shibah. For this cause, hath the name of the city, been Beer-sheba, unto this day.
तिनले त्‍यस इनारको नाउँ शिबा राखे, यसकारण त्‍यस सहरको नाउँ आजसम्‍म पनि बेर्शेबा नै छ ।
34 And when Esau was forty years old, he took to wife Judith, daughter of Beeri. the Hittite; and Basemath, daughter of Elon, the Hittite;
चालिस वर्षको हुँदा एसावले हित्ती बेरीकी छोरी यहूदीत र हित्ती एलोनकी छोरी बासमतलाई विवाह गरी ल्‍याए ।
35 and they became a bitterness of spirit, to Isaac and to Rebekah.
तिनीहरूले इसहाक र रिबेकाको जीवनमा दुःख ल्याए ।
