< Genesis 41 >

1 And it came to pass at the end of two years of days, that, Pharaoh, was dreaming, when lo! he was standing by the river (Nile);
दुई वर्षको अन्त्यमा फारोले एउटा सपना देखे । तिनी नील नदीको किनारमा उभिए ।
2 and lo! from the river, were coming up seven heifers, comely in appearance and fat in flesh, —and they fed among the rushes.
नील नदीबाट सातवटा सप्रेका र मोटा-मोटा गाई निस्केर आए, अनि तिनीहरू नर्कटको झाडीमा चरे ।
3 And lo! seven heifers more coming up after them out of the river, uncomely in appearance and lean in flesh, —and they came and stood beside the heifers, by the lip of the river.
नील नदीबाट अरू सातवटा नसप्रेका र दुब्ला-दुब्ला गाई निस्केर आए । तिनीहरू नदीको किनारमा उभिरहेका पहिलेका गाईहरूसँगै उभिए ।
4 Then did the heifers that were uncomely in appearance, and lean in flesh, eat up, the seven heifers that were comely in appearance and fat. So Pharaoh awoke.
त्यसपछि नसप्रेका र दुब्ला-दुब्ला गाईहरूले सातवटा सप्रेका र मोटा-मोटा गाईलाई खाइदिए । अनि फारो ब्युँझे ।
5 And he fell asleep, and dreamed a second time, when lo! seven ears, coming up on one stalk fat and good;
तिनी फेरि सुते र अर्को सपना देखे । सातवटा भरिला र असल अनाजका बाला एउटै डाँठमा उम्रे ।
6 and lo! seven ears, lean and shrivelled by an east wind, coming up after them.
त्यसपछि सेप्रा र पूर्वीय बतासद्वारा ओइलाइएका अरू सातवटा अन्‍नका बाला तिनीहरू पछि पलाए ।
7 Then did the lean ears swallow up the seven fat and full ears. So Pharaoh awoke and lo! it was a dream.
सेप्रा बालाहरूले ती सातवटा भरिला र असल बालालाई खाइदिए । फारो ब्युँझे, र यो त सपना पो रहेछ भनी तिनलाई थाहा भयो ।
8 And it came to pass in the morning, that his spirit became restless, so he sent and called for all the sacred scribes of Egypt and all her wise men, —and Pharaoh related to them his dreams, but there was no one that could interpret them. to Pharaoh.
बिहान तिनको आत्मा बेचैन भयो । तिनले मिश्रका सबै जादुगर र बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूलाई बोलाउन पठाए । फारोले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्ना सपनाहरू बताए, तर फारोलाई सपनाहरूको अर्थ खोल्न सक्‍ने त्यहाँ कोही भएन ।
9 Then spake the chief of the butlers with Pharaoh saying, My faults, would, I, mention this day.
त्यसपछि मुख्य पियाउनेले फारोलाई भने, “आज म मेरो दोषको बारेमा सोच्दै छु ।
10 Pharaoh, was wroth with his servants, —and put them in the ward of the house of the chief of the royal executioners, me, and the chief of the bakers.
फारो आफ्ना नोकरहरूसित रिसाउनु भई मलाई र मुख्य पकाउनेलाई अङ्गरक्षकका कप्‍तानको कैदखानामा राख्‍नुभयो ।
11 Then must we needs dream, a dream in one night, I and he, —each man, according to the interpretation of his dream, did we dream.
तिनी र मैले एउटै रात सपना देख्यौँ । हामीले आ-आफ्नो अर्थ भएका सपना देख्यौँ ।
12 And, there with us, was a young man, a Hebrew servant to the chief of the royal executioners, and we related to him, and he interpreted to us our dreams, —to each man—according to his dream, did he interpret,
त्यहाँ हामीसित एक जना जवान हिब्रू मानिस थियो जो अङ्गरक्षकका कप्‍तानको नोकर थियो । हामीले त्यसलाई हाम्रा सपनाहरू बताएपछि त्यसले अर्थ खोलिदियो । त्यसले हामीलाई आ-आफ्ना सपनाअनुसार अर्थ खोलिदियो ।
13 And it came to pass as he interpreted to us, so, it happened, —me, he restored to mine office but him, he hanged.
त्यसले हामीलाई अर्थ खोलिदिएअनुसार नै हुन आयो । फारोले मलाई मेरो पदमा पुनर्स्थापना गरिदिनुभयो, तर अर्को मानिसलाई झुण्ड्याइयो ।”
14 Then sent Pharaoh and summoned Joseph, and they hastened him out of the dungeon, —so he shaved himself and changed his garments, and came in unto Pharaoh.
त्यसपछि फारोले योसेफलाई डाक्‍न पठाए । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई चाँडै नै झ्यालखानाबाट निकालेर ल्याए । तिनले दारी खौरेपछि लुगाहरू बद्लेर फारोकहाँ आए ।
15 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, A dream, have I dreamed, but none can interpret it, —but, I, have heard say concerning thee, that on hearing a dream, thou canst interpret it.
फारोले योसेफलाई भने, “मैले एउटा सपना देखेँ, तर यसको अर्थ खोल्ने कोही भएन । तर तिमीले सपना सुन्यौ भने यसको अर्थ खोल्न सक्छौ भनी मैले तिम्रो बारेमा सुनेको छु ।”
16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh saying, Not to me, doth it pertain! May, God grant in answer, the prosperity of Pharaoh!
योसेफले फारोलाई जवाफ दिए, “ममा यस्तो खुबी त छैन, तर परमेश्‍वरले फारोलाई निगाहसाथ जवाफ दिनुहुनेछ ।”
17 Then spake Pharaoh unto Joseph, —In my dream, there was I, standing on the lip of the river;
फारोले योसेफलाई बताए, “मेरो सपनामा म नील नदीको किनारमा उभिएँ ।
18 When lo! out of the river, were coming up seven heifers, fat in flesh and comely in form, —and they fed among the rushes.
नील नदीबाट सातवटा सप्रेका र मोटा-मोटा गाई निस्केर आए, अनि तिनीहरू नर्कटको झाडीमा चरे ।
19 And lo! seven other heifers, coming up after them, poor and very uncomely in form and lean in flesh, —I had never seen such in all the land of Egypt, for uncomeliness.
नील नदीबाट अरू सातवटा कमजोर, नसप्रेका र दुब्ला-दुब्ला गाई निस्केर आए । मैले पुरै मिश्रभरि तीजस्ता नसप्रेका गाईहरू कहिल्यै देखेको छैनँ ।
20 Then did the lean and uncomely heifers eat up the first seven fat heifers;
त्यसपछि नसप्रेका र दुब्ला-दुब्ला गाईहरूले सातवटा मोटा-मोटा गाईलाई खाइदिए ।
21 and they passed into their stomach yet could it not be known that they had passed into them, their appearance, being uncomely, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
तिनीहरूले ती गाईहरूलाई खाइसकेपछि तिनीहरू खाएका जस्ता देखिँदैनथे किनकि तिनीहरू पहिलेजस्तै अझै पनि नसप्रेका देखिन्थे । त्यसपछि मेरो निद्रा खुल्यो ।
22 Then looked I in my dream, —And lo! seven ears, coming up on one stalk, full and good;
मेरो अर्को सपनामा मैले सातवटा भरिला र असल अनाजका बाला एउटै डाँठमा उम्रिरहेका देखेँ ।
23 And lo! seven ears, withered lean shrivelled by an east wind growing up after them.
त्यसपछि सुकेका, सेप्रा र पूर्वीय बतासद्वारा ओइलाइएका अरू सातवटा अन्‍नका बाला तिनीहरू पछि पलाउन थाले ।
24 Then did the lean ears swallow up, the seven good ears. So I told [these things] unto the sacred scribes, but there was none that could explain [them] to me.
सेप्रा बालाहरूले ती सातवटा भरिला र असल बालालाई खाइदिए । मैले जादुगरहरूलाई यी सपनाहरू बताएँ, तर मलाई तिनको अर्थ खोलिदिने कोही भएन ।”
25 Then said Joseph unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh, is, one. What God is about to do hath he announced to Pharaoh.
योसेफले फारोलाई भने, “फारोका सपनाहरू एउटै हुन् । परमेश्‍वरले गर्न लाग्‍नुभएको कुरा उहाँले फारोलाई प्रकट गराउनुभएको छ ।
26 The seven good heifers, are, seven years, and, the seven good ears are, seven years, —the dream, is, one.
सातवटा असल गाई र सातवटा असल बाला सात वर्ष हुन् । सपनाहरू एउटै हुन् ।
27 And the seven lean and uncomely heifers that were coming up after them, are seven years, and the seven lean ears, shrivelled by an east wind, will turn out to be—seven years of famine.
तीपछि आएका सातवटा दुब्ला-दुब्ला र नसप्रेका गाई सात वर्ष हुन्, र पूर्वीय बतासद्वारा ओइल्याइएका सातवटा बाला अनिकालका सात वर्ष हुन् ।
28 The very word that I spake unto Pharaoh, what, God, is about to do, hath he showed unto Pharaoh.
मैले फारोलाई बताएको कुरा यही नै हो । परमेश्‍वरले गर्न लाग्‍नुभएको कुरा उहाँले फारोलाई प्रकट गराउनुभएको छ ।
29 Lo! seven years, coming in, —of great plenty, in all the land of Egypt.
हेर्नुहोस्, मिश्रदेशभरि ठुलो सहकालको सात वर्ष हुनेछ ।
30 Then shall arise seven years of famine, after them, so shall be forgotten all the plenty in the land of Egypt, —and the famine shall consume the land;
त्यसपछि सात वर्षको अनिकाल पर्नेछ, र मिश्रभरि त्यस सात वर्षको सहकालको सम्झना हुनेछैन, अनि अनिकाले देशलाई सखाप पार्नेछ ।
31 neither shall the plenty in the land be discernible, because of that famine coming after, —for it shall be, very severe.
देशमा पछि आउने अनिकालको कारणले गर्दा सहकाललाई सम्झनेछैन किनकि यो अति नै भयानक हुनेछ ।
32 And for that there was a repeating of the dream unto Pharaoh, twice, it is because the thing, is established, from God, and God is hastening to do it.
फारोलाई सपना दोहोर्‍याइनुको कारणचाहिँ यही हो, कि परमेश्‍वरले यो विषयलाई पक्‍का गर्नुभएको छ, र उहाँले चाँडै यसो गर्नुहुनेछ ।
33 Now, therefore, let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, —and set him over the land of Egypt.
अब फारोले कुशल र बुद्धिमान् मानिसको खोजी गरी तिनलाई मिश्र देशको जिम्मेवारी दिनुहोस् ।
34 Let Pharaoh do this, that he may appoint overseers over the land, —so shall he take up a fifth of the land of Egypt, during the seven years of plenty.
फारोले देशमाथि अधिकारीहरू नियुक्त गर्नुभएको होस् र तिनीहरूले सहकालका सात वर्षमा मिश्रका अनाजहरूको पाँचौँ हिस्सा उठाऊन् ।
35 And let them gather up all the food of these seven good years that are coming in, —and let them heap up corn under the hand of Pharaoh as food in cities so shall they keep it.
सहरहरूमा खानाका लागि तिनीहरूले आउँदै गरेका यी असल वर्षहरूका सबै अनाज जम्मा गरून् । तिनीहरूले यसको सञ्चय गर्नुपर्छ ।
36 So shall the food become a store for the land, for the seven years of famine which shall come about in the land of Egypt, —and the land shall not be cut off in the famine.
मिश्रमा आउने सात वर्षको अनिकालको अवधिमा यी अनाज वितरण गरिनुपर्छ । यसरी अनिकालद्वारा देश सखाप हुनेछैन ।”
37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, —and in the eyes of all his servants;
फारो र तिनका सबै कामदारको दृष्‍टिमा यो सल्लाह राम्रो थियो ।
38 and Pharaoh said unto his servants, —Can we find such a one, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?
फारोले आफ्ना कामदारहरूलाई भने, “यिनीजस्तै परमेश्‍वरको आत्मा भएको अर्को कुनचाहिँ मानिस हामी पाउन सक्छौँ र?”
39 So Pharaoh said unto Joseph, After God hath made known unto thee all this, there is no one discreet and wise like thee.
त्यसैले फारोले योसेफलाई भने, “परमेश्‍वरले तिमीलाई यी सबै देखाउनुभएकोले तिमीजस्तै कुशल र बुद्धिमान् अरू कोही छैन ।
40 Thou, shalt be over my house, and on thy mouth, shall all my people kiss, —only as to the throne, will I be greater than thou.
तिमी नै मेरो घरको अधिकारी हुनेछौ र तिम्रो वचनअनुसार नै मेरा सबै मानिस चल्नेछन् । सिंहासनमा मात्रै म तिमीभन्दा ठुलो हुनेछु ।”
41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, —See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
फारोले योसेफलाई भने, “हेर, मैले तिमीलाई मिश्र देशभरिको अधिकारी तुल्याएको छु ।”
42 So Pharaoh took his ring from off his hand and put it upon Joseph’s hand, —and clothed him in garments of fine linen, and put the chain of gold upon his neck;
फारोले आफ्नो औँलाबाट छाप-औँठी फुकाली योसेफको औँलामा लगाइदिए । तिनले योसेफलाई सुन्दर मलमलको लुगा पहिराइदिए र तिनको गलामा सुनको सिक्री लगाइदिए ।
43 and made him ride in the second chariot which belonged to him, and they cried out before him. Bow the knee! thus setting him over all the land of Egypt.
फारोले तिनलाई आफूसित भएको दोस्रो दर्जाको रथमा सवार गराए । मानिसहरू यसो भन्दै तिनको सामु चिच्‍च्याए, “घुँडा टेकेर झुक ।” फारोले तिनलाई सारा मिश्रको अधिकारी तुल्याए ।
44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph. I, am Pharaoh, Without thee, therefore shall no man raise his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.
फारोले योसेफलाई भने, “म फारो हुँ, र तिमीबाहेक अरू कसैले मिश्र देशमा आफ्नो इच्छाअनुसार कुनै काम गर्न पाउनेछैन ।”
45 And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-paneah, and gave him Asenath daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, to wife, —and Joseph went forth over the land of Egypt.
फारोले योसेफको नाउँ “सापनत-पानेह” राखिदिए । तिनले योसेफलाई पुजारी पोतीपेराकी छोरी आसनतसित विवाह गराइदिए । योसेफ मिश्र देशभरि जान्थे ।
46 Now, Joseph, was thirty years old, when he took his station, before Pharaoh king of Egypt. So Joseph went forth from before Pharaoh, and passed along through all the land of Egypt.
मिश्रका राष्‍ट्रप्रमुख फारोको सामु उभिँदा योसेफ तिस वर्षका थिए । योसेफ फारोको उपस्थितिबाट गई सारा मिश्र देशभरि चाहार्थे ।
47 And the land produced, in the seven years of plenty, by handfuls,
सहकालका सात वर्षमा जमिनले प्रचुर मात्रामा उब्जनी गर्‍यो ।
48 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years in which there was plenty in the land of Egypt, and laid up food in cities—the food of the fields of the city. which were round about it, laid he up within it.
तिनले सात वर्षमा मिश्र देशका सबै अनाज सङ्कलन गरी त्यसलाई सहरहरूमा राखे । तिनले हरेक सहरमा वरिपरिका खेतहरूबाट अनाज थन्क्याएर राखे ।
49 Thus did Joseph heap up corn like the sand of the sea making it exceeding abundant, —until one hath left off reckoning, because it cannot be reckoned.
योसेफले अन्‍नको भण्डारण समुद्रको बालुवासरह गरे । अन्‍न यति धेरै थियो कि तिनले हिसाब राख्‍नै छाडिदिए ।
50 Now to Joseph, were born two sons, ere yet came in the year of famine, —whom Asenath daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, bare to him.
अनिकालका वर्षहरू सुरु हुनुभन्दा अगि योसेफले ओनका पुजारी पोतीपेराकी छोरी आसनतबाट दुई जना छोरा जन्माइसकेका थिए ।
51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, —For God hath made me forget all my trouble, and all the house of my father.
योसेफले आफ्नो जेठो छोरोलाई मनश्शे नाउँ दिएका थिए किनकि तिनले भने, “परमेश्‍वरले मेरा र मेरा पिताका घरानाका सबै कष्‍ट बिर्सन लगाउनुभएको छ ।”
52 And, the name of the second, called he Ephraim, For God hath made me fruitful in the land of my humiliation.
तिनले दोस्रो छोरोको नाउँ एफ्राइम राखे किनकि तिनले भने, “परमेश्‍वरले मेरो कष्‍टलको देशमा मेरो फलिफाप गराउनुभएको छ ।”
53 Then came to an end the seven years of the plenty, —which was in the land of Egypt;
मिश्र देशको सात वर्षको सहकालको अन्त्य भयो ।
54 and the seven years of famine began to come in, according as Joseph had said, —and it came to pass that there was a famine in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt, there was bread.
योसेफले भनेजस्तै गरी सात वर्षको अनिकालको थालनी भयो । सबै देशहरूमा अनिकाल परेको थियो तर मिश्र देशमा भने अनाज थियो ।
55 Yet was famine felt in all the land of Egypt, and the people made outcry; unto Pharaoh for bread, —and Pharaoh said to all Egypt, —Go ye unto Joseph, that which he saith to you, shall ye do.
सारा मिश्र अनिकालले तडपिँदा जनताहरूले अनाजको लागि फारोलाई पुकारे । फारोले सबै मिश्रीहरूलाई भने, “योसेफकहाँ जाओ र तिनले भनेझैँ गर ।”
56 Now, the famine, was over all the face of the land, —so Joseph opened all [places] wherein it was and sold corn to the Egyptians, and the famine laid fast hold of the land of Egypt.
अनिकालले पुरै देशलाई ढाकेको थियो । योसेफले सबै भण्डारणहरू खुला गरी मिश्रीहरूलाई अनाज बेचे । मिश्र देशमा अनिकाल अति भयानक थियो ।
57 All the earth also, came in to Egypt to buy corn, unto Joseph, —because the famine had laid fast hold on all the earth.
सारा संसारमा भयानक अनिकाल परेकोले सबै देशका मानिसहरू योसेफबाट अनाज किन्‍न मिश्रमा आउँदै थिए ।
