< Genesis 35 >
1 God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and stay there. Build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from Esau your brother.”
परमेश्वरले याकूबलाई भन्नुभयो, “उठेर बेथेलमा जा, र त्यहीँ बस् । तँ तेरा दाजु एसावबाट भाग्दा तँकहाँ देखा पर्नुहुने परमेश्वरको निम्ति एउटा वेदी बना ।”
2 Then Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your clothes.
त्यसपछि याकूबले तिनको घराना र तिनीसित भएका सबैलाई भने, “तिमीहरूका बिचमा भएका विदेशी देवताहरू हटाइदेओ, र आफू-आफूलाई शुद्ध पारेर लुगाहरू फेर ।
3 Then let us depart and go up to Bethel. I will build an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and has been with me wherever I have gone.”
अनि हामी यहाँबाट प्रस्थान गरी माथि बेथेलमा जाऔँ । त्यहाँ म परमेश्वरको लागि एउटा वेदी बनाउनेछु जसले मेरो दुःखमा मलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो र म जहाँ गए पनि उहाँ मसित हुनुभएको छ ।”
4 So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods that were in their hand, and the rings that were in their ears. Jacob buried them under the oak that was near Shechem.
त्यसैले तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्ना हातमा भएका सबै विदेशी देवता र तिनीहरूका कानमा लगाएका कुण्डलहरू याकूबलाई दिए । याकूबले
5 As they traveled, God made panic to fall on the cities that were around them, so those people did not pursue the sons of Jacob.
तिनलाई शकेमको नजिकै रहेको फलाँटको रुखमुनि गाडे । तिनीहरू यात्रा गर्दै अगाडि बढ्दा परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूका वरिपरिका सहरहरूमा त्रास फैलाइदिनुभयो । त्यसैले ती मानिसहरूले याकूबका छोराहरूलाई लखेटेनन् ।
6 So Jacob arrived at Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.
याकूब तिनीसित भएका सबै मानिससित लूज अर्थात् बेथेलमा आइपुगे जुन कनान देशमा पर्छ ।
7 He built an altar there and called the place El Bethel, because there God had revealed himself to him, when he was fleeing from his brother.
त्यहाँ तिनले एउटा वेदी बनाए, र त्यसको नाउँ एल-बेथेल राखे किनकि तिनी आफ्ना दाजुबाट भाग्दा त्यहाँ परमेश्वरले आफैलाई तिनीकहाँ प्रकट गराउनुभएको थियो ।
8 Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died. She was buried down from Bethel under the oak tree, so it was called Allon Bakuth.
त्यहाँ रिबेकाकी धाई दबोरा मरी । त्यसलाई बेथेलनेरको फलाँटको रुखमुनि गाडियो । त्यसैले यसको नाउँ अल्लोन-बकुत राखियो ।
9 When Jacob came from Paddan Aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.
याकूब पद्दन-आरामबाट आउँदा परमेश्वर फेरि तिनीकहाँ प्रकट हुनुभई तिनलाई आशिष् दिनुभयो ।
10 God said to him, “Your name is Jacob, but your name will no longer be called Jacob. Your name will be Israel.” So God called his name Israel.
परमेश्वरले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तेरो नाउँ याकूब हो, तर अबदेखि तेरो नाउँ याकूब भनिनेछैन । तेरो नाउँ इस्राएल हुनेछ ।” त्यसैले परमेश्वरले तिनको नाउँ इस्राएल राखिदिनुभयो ।
11 God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will come from you, and kings will be among your descendants.
परमेश्वरले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “म सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वर हुँ । फल्दै-फुल्दै वृद्धि हुँदै जा । तँबाट एउटा जाति र जाति-जातिहरूको समूह उदय हुनेछ, अनि तेरा सन्तानहरूका बिचमा राजाहरू हुनेछन् ।
12 The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you. To your descendants after you I also give the land.”
मैले अब्राहाम र इसहाकलाई दिएको देश म तँलाई दिनेछु । तँपछि उदय हुने तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई पनि म यो देश दिनेछु ।”
13 God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.
तिनीसित कुराकानी गर्नुभएको ठाउँबाट परमेश्वर जानुभयो ।
14 Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God had spoken to him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering over it and poured oil on it.
परमेश्वर तिनीसित कुराकानी गर्नुभएको ठाउँमा याकूबले ढुङ्गाको एउटा वेदी खडा गरे । तिनले त्यसमाथि अर्घ-बलि चढाएर तेल खन्याए ।
15 Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Bethel.
परमेश्वर तिनीसित बोल्नुभएको त्यस ठाउँलाई याकूबले बेथेल नाउँ दिए ।
16 They journeyed on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor. She had hard labor.
तिनीहरू बेथेलबाट प्रस्थान गरे । तिनीहरू एप्रात आइपुग्न अलिकति दुरी बाँकी छँदा नै राहेललाई सुत्केरी व्यथा लाग्यो । उनलाई ज्यादै पीडा भएको थियो ।
17 While she was in hardest labor, the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for now you will have another son.”
उनी अत्यधिक पीडामा हुँदा सुँडेनीले उनलाई भनी, “भयभीत नहुनुहोस् किनकि अब तपाईंले अर्को छोरो जन्माउनुहुनेछ ।”
18 As she was dying, with her dying breath she named him Ben-Oni, but his father called him Benjamin.
उनको प्राण जाने बेलामा उनी चिच्च्याउँदै गर्दा उनले त्यसको नाउँ बेन-ओनी राखिन्, तर त्यसका पिताले त्यसलाई बेन्यामीन नाउँ दिए ।
19 Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
राहेल मरिन् र एप्राता (अर्थात् बेथलेहेम) जाने बाटोमा उनलाई गाडियो ।
20 Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave. It is the marker of Rachel's grave to this day.
याकूबले उनको चिहानमा एउटा खामो खडा गरे । आजको दिनसम्म यो राहेलको चिहानको चिन्हको रूपमा खडा छ ।
21 Israel traveled on and pitched his tent beyond the watchtower of the flock.
इस्राएल अगि बढे र तिनले बगालको धरहराभन्दा पर आफ्नो पाल टाँगे ।
22 While Israel was living in that land, Reuben slept with Bilhah his father's concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now Jacob had twelve sons.
इस्राएल त्यस देशमा बसिरहँदा रूबेन आफ्ना पिताकी भित्रिनी बिल्हासित सुते, र इस्राएलले यस विषयमा सुने । याकूबका बार्ह जना छोरा थिए ।
23 His sons by Leah were Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
याकूबले लेआबाट जन्माएका छोराहरू यिनै थिएः जेठो रूबेन, त्यसपछि शिमियोन, लेवी, यहूदा, इस्साखार र जबूलून ।
24 His sons by Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
राहेलतर्फका छोराहरू यिनै थिएः योसेफ र बेन्यामीन ।
25 His sons by Bilhah, Rachel's female servant, were Dan and Naphtali.
राहेलकी कमारी बिल्हातर्फका छोराहरू यिनै थिएः दान र नप्ताली ।
26 The sons of Zilpah, Leah's female servant, were Gad and Asher. All these were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan Aram.
लेआकी कमारी जिल्पातर्फका छोराहरू यिनै थिएः गाद र आशेर । यी सबै याकूबले पद्दन-आराममा जन्माएका छोराहरू थिए ।
27 Jacob came to Isaac, his father, in Mamre in Kiriath Arba (the same as Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had lived.
याकूब किर्यत-अर्बा (जुन हेब्रोन हो) मा आफ्ना पिता इसहाककहाँ आए जहाँ अब्राहाम र इसहाक बसोबास गरेका थिए ।
28 Isaac lived for one hundred eighty years.
इसहाक एक सय असी वर्षसम्म बाँचे ।
29 Isaac breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his ancestors, an old man full of days. Esau and Jacob, his sons, buried him.
इसहाकले आफ्नो अन्तिम सास फेरे र तिनको मृत्यु भयो अनि तिनी आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित मिल्न गए । तिनी पुरा बुढेसकालसम्म बाँचेका थिए । तिनका छोराहरू एसाव र याकूबले तिनलाई गाडे ।
