< Genesis 41 >

1 At the end of two full years, Pharaoh dreamt, and behold, he stood by the river.
दुई वर्षको अन्त्यमा फारोले एउटा सपना देखे । तिनी नील नदीको किनारमा उभिए ।
2 Behold, seven cattle came up out of the river. They were sleek and fat, and they fed in the marsh grass.
नील नदीबाट सातवटा सप्रेका र मोटा-मोटा गाई निस्केर आए, अनि तिनीहरू नर्कटको झाडीमा चरे ।
3 Behold, seven other cattle came up after them out of the river, ugly and thin, and stood by the other cattle on the brink of the river.
नील नदीबाट अरू सातवटा नसप्रेका र दुब्ला-दुब्ला गाई निस्केर आए । तिनीहरू नदीको किनारमा उभिरहेका पहिलेका गाईहरूसँगै उभिए ।
4 The ugly and thin cattle ate up the seven sleek and fat cattle. So Pharaoh awoke.
त्यसपछि नसप्रेका र दुब्ला-दुब्ला गाईहरूले सातवटा सप्रेका र मोटा-मोटा गाईलाई खाइदिए । अनि फारो ब्युँझे ।
5 He slept and dreamt a second time; and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.
तिनी फेरि सुते र अर्को सपना देखे । सातवटा भरिला र असल अनाजका बाला एउटै डाँठमा उम्रे ।
6 Behold, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
त्यसपछि सेप्रा र पूर्वीय बतासद्वारा ओइलाइएका अरू सातवटा अन्‍नका बाला तिनीहरू पछि पलाए ।
7 The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears. Pharaoh awoke, and behold, 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 In the morning, his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all of Egypt’s magicians and wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who 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 the chief cup bearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my faults today.
त्यसपछि मुख्य पियाउनेले फारोलाई भने, “आज म मेरो दोषको बारेमा सोच्दै छु ।
10 Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, with the chief baker.
फारो आफ्ना नोकरहरूसित रिसाउनु भई मलाई र मुख्य पकाउनेलाई अङ्गरक्षकका कप्‍तानको कैदखानामा राख्‍नुभयो ।
11 We dreamt a dream in one night, he and I. Each man dreamt according to the interpretation of his dream.
तिनी र मैले एउटै रात सपना देख्यौँ । हामीले आ-आफ्नो अर्थ भएका सपना देख्यौँ ।
12 There was with us there a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard, and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams. He interpreted to each man according to his dream.
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 As he interpreted to us, so it was. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.”
त्यसले हामीलाई अर्थ खोलिदिएअनुसार नै हुन आयो । फारोले मलाई मेरो पदमा पुनर्स्थापना गरिदिनुभयो, तर अर्को मानिसलाई झुण्ड्याइयो ।”
14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothing, and came in to Pharaoh.
त्यसपछि फारोले योसेफलाई डाक्‍न पठाए । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई चाँडै नै झ्यालखानाबाट निकालेर ल्याए । तिनले दारी खौरेपछि लुगाहरू बद्लेर फारोकहाँ आए ।
15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have dreamt a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said of you, that when you hear a dream you can 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 Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It isn’t in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”
योसेफले फारोलाई जवाफ दिए, “ममा यस्तो खुबी त छैन, तर परमेश्‍वरले फारोलाई निगाहसाथ जवाफ दिनुहुनेछ ।”
17 Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink of the river;
फारोले योसेफलाई बताए, “मेरो सपनामा म नील नदीको किनारमा उभिएँ ।
18 and behold, seven fat and sleek cattle came up out of the river. They fed in the marsh grass;
नील नदीबाट सातवटा सप्रेका र मोटा-मोटा गाई निस्केर आए, अनि तिनीहरू नर्कटको झाडीमा चरे ।
19 and behold, seven other cattle came up after them, poor and very ugly and thin, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.
नील नदीबाट अरू सातवटा कमजोर, नसप्रेका र दुब्ला-दुब्ला गाई निस्केर आए । मैले पुरै मिश्रभरि तीजस्ता नसप्रेका गाईहरू कहिल्यै देखेको छैनँ ।
20 The thin and ugly cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle;
त्यसपछि नसप्रेका र दुब्ला-दुब्ला गाईहरूले सातवटा मोटा-मोटा गाईलाई खाइदिए ।
21 and when they had eaten them up, it couldn’t be known that they had eaten them, but they were still ugly, 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 I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, full and good;
मेरो अर्को सपनामा मैले सातवटा भरिला र असल अनाजका बाला एउटै डाँठमा उम्रिरहेका देखेँ ।
23 and behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
त्यसपछि सुकेका, सेप्रा र पूर्वीय बतासद्वारा ओइलाइएका अरू सातवटा अन्‍नका बाला तिनीहरू पछि पलाउन थाले ।
24 The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”
सेप्रा बालाहरूले ती सातवटा भरिला र असल बालालाई खाइदिए । मैले जादुगरहरूलाई यी सपनाहरू बताएँ, तर मलाई तिनको अर्थ खोलिदिने कोही भएन ।”
25 Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.
योसेफले फारोलाई भने, “फारोका सपनाहरू एउटै हुन् । परमेश्‍वरले गर्न लाग्‍नुभएको कुरा उहाँले फारोलाई प्रकट गराउनुभएको छ ।
26 The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. The dream is one.
सातवटा असल गाई र सातवटा असल बाला सात वर्ष हुन् । सपनाहरू एउटै हुन् ।
27 The seven thin and ugly cattle that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind; they will 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 That is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
मैले फारोलाई बताएको कुरा यही नै हो । परमेश्‍वरले गर्न लाग्‍नुभएको कुरा उहाँले फारोलाई प्रकट गराउनुभएको छ ।
29 Behold, seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt are coming.
हेर्नुहोस्, मिश्रदेशभरि ठुलो सहकालको सात वर्ष हुनेछ ।
30 Seven years of famine will arise after them, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land,
त्यसपछि सात वर्षको अनिकाल पर्नेछ, र मिश्रभरि त्यस सात वर्षको सहकालको सम्झना हुनेछैन, अनि अनिकाले देशलाई सखाप पार्नेछ ।
31 and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous.
देशमा पछि आउने अनिकालको कारणले गर्दा सहकाललाई सम्झनेछैन किनकि यो अति नै भयानक हुनेछ ।
32 The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
फारोलाई सपना दोहोर्‍याइनुको कारणचाहिँ यही हो, कि परमेश्‍वरले यो विषयलाई पक्‍का गर्नुभएको छ, र उहाँले चाँडै यसो गर्नुहुनेछ ।
33 “Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man, 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, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt’s produce in the seven plenteous years.
फारोले देशमाथि अधिकारीहरू नियुक्त गर्नुभएको होस् र तिनीहरूले सहकालका सात वर्षमा मिश्रका अनाजहरूको पाँचौँ हिस्सा उठाऊन् ।
35 Let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and store grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.
सहरहरूमा खानाका लागि तिनीहरूले आउँदै गरेका यी असल वर्षहरूका सबै अनाज जम्मा गरून् । तिनीहरूले यसको सञ्चय गर्नुपर्छ ।
36 The food will be to supply the land against the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt; so that the land will not perish through the famine.”
मिश्रमा आउने सात वर्षको अनिकालको अवधिमा यी अनाज वितरण गरिनुपर्छ । यसरी अनिकालद्वारा देश सखाप हुनेछैन ।”
37 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 Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, 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 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one so discreet and wise as you.
त्यसैले फारोले योसेफलाई भने, “परमेश्‍वरले तिमीलाई यी सबै देखाउनुभएकोले तिमीजस्तै कुशल र बुद्धिमान् अरू कोही छैन ।
40 You shall be over my house. All my people will be ruled according to your word. Only in the throne I will be greater than you.”
तिमी नै मेरो घरको अधिकारी हुनेछौ र तिम्रो वचनअनुसार नै मेरा सबै मानिस चल्नेछन् । सिंहासनमा मात्रै म तिमीभन्दा ठुलो हुनेछु ।”
41 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
फारोले योसेफलाई भने, “हेर, मैले तिमीलाई मिश्र देशभरिको अधिकारी तुल्याएको छु ।”
42 Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck.
फारोले आफ्नो औँलाबाट छाप-औँठी फुकाली योसेफको औँलामा लगाइदिए । तिनले योसेफलाई सुन्दर मलमलको लुगा पहिराइदिए र तिनको गलामा सुनको सिक्री लगाइदिए ।
43 He made him ride in the second chariot which he had. They cried before him, “Bow the knee!” He set 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 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh. Without you, no man shall lift up 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 Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-Paneah. He gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On as a wife. Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
फारोले योसेफको नाउँ “सापनत-पानेह” राखिदिए । तिनले योसेफलाई पुजारी पोतीपेराकी छोरी आसनतसित विवाह गराइदिए । योसेफ मिश्र देशभरि जान्थे ।
46 Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
मिश्रका राष्‍ट्रप्रमुख फारोको सामु उभिँदा योसेफ तिस वर्षका थिए । योसेफ फारोको उपस्थितिबाट गई सारा मिश्र देशभरि चाहार्थे ।
47 In the seven plenteous years the earth produced abundantly.
सहकालका सात वर्षमा जमिनले प्रचुर मात्रामा उब्जनी गर्‍यो ।
48 He gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities. He stored food in each city from the fields around that city.
तिनले सात वर्षमा मिश्र देशका सबै अनाज सङ्कलन गरी त्यसलाई सहरहरूमा राखे । तिनले हरेक सहरमा वरिपरिका खेतहरूबाट अनाज थन्क्याएर राखे ।
49 Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number.
योसेफले अन्‍नको भण्डारण समुद्रको बालुवासरह गरे । अन्‍न यति धेरै थियो कि तिनले हिसाब राख्‍नै छाडिदिए ।
50 To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.
अनिकालका वर्षहरू सुरु हुनुभन्दा अगि योसेफले ओनका पुजारी पोतीपेराकी छोरी आसनतबाट दुई जना छोरा जन्माइसकेका थिए ।
51 Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, “For”, he said, “God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.”
योसेफले आफ्नो जेठो छोरोलाई मनश्शे नाउँ दिएका थिए किनकि तिनले भने, “परमेश्‍वरले मेरा र मेरा पिताका घरानाका सबै कष्‍ट बिर्सन लगाउनुभएको छ ।”
52 The name of the second, he called Ephraim: “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
तिनले दोस्रो छोरोको नाउँ एफ्राइम राखे किनकि तिनले भने, “परमेश्‍वरले मेरो कष्‍टलको देशमा मेरो फलिफाप गराउनुभएको छ ।”
53 The seven years of plenty, that were in the land of Egypt, came to an end.
मिश्र देशको सात वर्षको सहकालको अन्त्य भयो ।
54 The seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all 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 When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do.”
सारा मिश्र अनिकालले तडपिँदा जनताहरूले अनाजको लागि फारोलाई पुकारे । फारोले सबै मिश्रीहरूलाई भने, “योसेफकहाँ जाओ र तिनले भनेझैँ गर ।”
56 The famine was over all the surface of the earth. Joseph opened all the store houses, and sold to the Egyptians. The famine was severe in 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 countries came into Egypt, to Joseph, to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
सारा संसारमा भयानक अनिकाल परेकोले सबै देशका मानिसहरू योसेफबाट अनाज किन्‍न मिश्रमा आउँदै थिए ।
