Genesis 49
1 Jacob called to his sons, and said: “Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which will happen to you in the days to come.
तब याकूबले आफ्ना छोराहरूलाई बोलाएर भनेः “तिमीहरू यहाँ जम्मा होओ, ताकि भविष्यमा तिमीहरूमाथि के आइपर्नेछ सो म तिमीहरूलाई भनूँ ।
2 Assemble yourselves, and hear, you sons of Jacob. Listen to Israel, your father.
हे याकूबका छोरा हो, जम्मा भएर सुन, तिमीहरूका बुबा इस्राएलका कुरा सुन ।
3 “Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, excelling in dignity, and excelling in power.
रूबेन, तँ मेरो जेठो छोरो होस्, मेरो शक्ति र मेरो बलको सुरु, गौरव र शक्तिमा उत्कृष्ट ।
4 Boiling over like water, you shall not excel, because you went up to your father’s bed, then defiled it. He went up to my couch.
बग्ने पानीजस्तो चञ्चल, तेरो प्रतिष्ठा रहनेछैन, किनभने तँ तेरा बुबाको ओछ्यानमा चढिस् । अनि त्यसलाई अशुद्ध पारिस्; तँ मेरो पलङ्गमा चढ़िस् ।
5 “Simeon and Levi are brothers. Their swords are weapons of violence.
शिमियोन र लेवी दाजुभाइ हुन् । हिंसाका हतियार नै तिनीहरूका तरवार हुन् ।
6 My soul, don’t come into their council. My glory, don’t be united to their assembly; for in their anger they killed men. In their self-will they hamstrung cattle.
ए मेरो प्राण, तिनीहरूको सभामा नआइज, तिनीहरूको बैठकमा नबस् किनकि मेरो हृदयमा त्यसको निम्ति अत्यन्तै श्रद्धा छ । किनकि तिनीहरूलेआफ्नो रिसमा मानिसहरूलाई मारे । तिनीहरूले आफ्नो आनन्दको निम्ति गोरुहरूका ढोडनसा काटेका छन् ।
7 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel. I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
तिनीहरूको रिस श्रापित् होस्, किनभने त्यो भयानक छ, र तिनीहरूको क्रोध पनि श्रापित् होस् किनकि त्यो निष्ठुर छ । तिनीहरूलाई म याकूबमा विभाजन गर्नेछु, इस्राएलमा तितरबितर पार्नेछु ।
8 “Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies. Your father’s sons will bow down before you.
ए यहूदा, तेरा दाजुभाइहरूले तेरो प्रशंसा गर्नेछन् । तेरा हात तेरा शत्रुहरूका गर्दनमा हुनेछन् । तेरा बुबाका छोराहरू तेरो सामुन्ने निहुरिनेछन् ।
9 Judah is a lion’s cub. From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He stooped down, he crouched as a lion, as a lioness. Who will rouse him up?
यहूदा सिंहको डमरु हो । ए मेरो छोरो, तँ तेरो शिकारभन्दा उच्च भएको छस् । त्यो निहुरियो, सिंह र सिंहनीझैँ झुक्यो । कसले त्यसलाई उठाउने आँट गर्छ?
10 The sceptre will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs. The obedience of the peoples will be to him.
यहूदाको हातबाट राजदण्ड हट्नेछैन, न त राज्य चलाउनेको लाठी त्यसका खुट्टाका बिचबाट हट्नेछ, जबसम्म त्यसका मालिक आउँदैनन् । जातिहरूले उहाँको आज्ञा मान्नेछन् ।
11 Binding his foal to the vine, his donkey’s colt to the choice vine, he has washed his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.
त्यसको गधालाई दाखको बोटमा, र गधाको बछेड़ोलाई चाहिँ उत्तम जातको हाँगामा बाँधेर त्यसले आफ्ना लुगाहरू दाखमद्यमा, आफ्ना पोशाक अङ्गुरको रसमा धुनेछ ।
12 His eyes will be red with wine, his teeth white with milk.
त्यसका आँखा दाखमद्यजस्तै गाढा, र त्यसका दाँत दुधजस्ता सेता हुनेछन् ।
13 “Zebulun will dwell at the haven of the sea. He will be for a haven of ships. His border will be on Sidon.
जबूलून समुद्रको किनारमा बस्नेछ । जहाजहरूका निम्ति त्यो बन्दरगाह हुनेछ, र त्यसको सिमाना सीदोनसम्म हुनेछ ।
14 “Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the saddlebags.
इस्साखार दुई भारीहरूका बिचमा लेटिरहने बलियो गधा हो ।
15 He saw a resting place, that it was good, the land, that it was pleasant. He bows his shoulder to the burden, and becomes a servant doing forced labour.
जसले असल विश्रामको ठाउँ असल र रमाइलो देश देख्छ । त्यसले भारी बोक्नलाई आफ्नो काँध झुकाउनेछ, र काम गर्ने नोकर बन्नेछ ।
16 “Dan will judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
इस्राएलका कुलमध्ये एउटा कुल भएर दानले आफ्ना मानिसहरूको न्याय गर्नेछ ।
17 Dan will be a serpent on the trail, an adder in the path, that bites the horse’s heels, so that his rider falls backward.
दान बाटोको छेउमा भएको एउटा सर्प, अर्थात् घोडाको कुर्कुच्चा डस्ने विषालु सर्प हुनेछ र त्यसको घोडचढी पछिल्तिर लोट्छ ।
18 I have waited for your salvation, LORD.
हे परमप्रभु, म तपाईंको उद्धारको प्रतीक्षा गर्छु ।
19 “A troop will press on Gad, but he will press on their heel.
गादमाथि आक्रमण गर्नेले त्यसलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछ, तर त्यसले तिनीहरूको कुर्कुच्चामा आक्रमण गर्नेछ ।
20 “Asher’s food will be rich. He will produce royal dainties.
आशेरको अनाज प्रशस्त हुनेछ, र त्यसले राजकीय खाना उपलब्ध गराउनेछ ।
21 “Naphtali is a doe set free, who bears beautiful fawns.
नप्ताली सुन्दर पाठापाठी पाउने फुकाइएकी मुडुली-मृग हो ।
22 “Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine by a spring. His branches run over the wall.
योसेफ एउटा फलवन्त लहरा हो, पानीको मूलनेर भएको फल दिने लहरा, जसका हाँगाहरू पर्खालमाथि फैलिन्छन् ।
23 The archers have severely grieved him, shot at him, and persecuted him:
धनुर्धारीहरूले त्यसलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछन् र त्यसमाथि काँड चलाउनेछन्, र त्यसलाई सताउनेछन् ।
24 But his bow remained strong. The arms of his hands were made strong, by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, (from there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel),
तापनि त्यसको धनु स्थिर रहनेछ, र याकूबका शक्तिशाली परमेश्वरका हातको कारण र ती गोठाला अर्थात् इस्राएलको चट्टानद्वारा त्यसका हातहरू सिपालु हुनेछन्, ती गोठाला, इस्राएलको चट्टानद्वारा ।
25 even by the God of your father, who will help you, by the Almighty, who will bless you, with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies below, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.
तेरा बुबाका परमेश्वरले तँलाई सहायता गर्नुहुन्छ, र सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वरले माथि स्वर्गका आशिष्हरू, तल अगाधका आशिष्हरू, अनि स्तन र गर्भका आशिष्हरूले आशिषित्् तुल्याउनुहुनेछ ।
26 The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of my ancestors, above the boundaries of the ancient hills. They will be on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the head of him who is separated from his brothers.
तेरा बुबाका आशीर्वादहरू प्राचीन पहाडहरूका आशीर्वादभन्दा महान् छन् वा प्राचीन डाँडाहरूका वाञ्छनीय कुरा हुन्छन् । ती सबै योसेफको शिरमा होऊन्, त्यसका दाजुभाइहरूमध्येका प्रधानको शिरमा पनि ।
27 “Benjamin is a ravenous wolf. In the morning he will devour the prey. At evening he will divide the plunder.”
बेन्यामीन एउटा भोको ब्वाँसो हो । बिहान त्यसले शिकार खान्छ, र बेलुकीचाहिँ त्यसले लुट बाँड्छ ।
28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them, and blessed them. He blessed everyone according to his own blessing.
यी इस्राएलका बाह्र कुल हुन् । आफ्ना बुबाले तिनीहरूलाई आशीर्वाद दिँदा भनेका कुरा यही हो । प्रत्येकलाई तिनले सुहाउँदो आशीर्वाद दिए ।
29 He instructed them, and said to them, “I am to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
तब तिनले तिनीहरूलाई यो आज्ञा दिएर यसो भने “म त मेरा मानिसहरूकहाँ मिल्न जान लागेको छु । हित्ती एप्रोनको खेतमा भएको ओडारमा मेरा पिता-पुर्खाहरूका साथमा मलाई गाड,
30 in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite as a burial place.
अर्थात् कनान देशमा मम्रेनेरको मक्पेलाको खेतमा भएको ओडार, जुन अब्राहामले हित्ती एप्रोनको हातबाट खेतसमेत चिहान बनाउनलाई किनेका थिए ।
31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah, his wife. There they buried Isaac and Rebekah, his wife, and there I buried Leah:
उनीहरूले अब्राहाम र तिनकी पत्नी सारालाई त्यहीँ गाडे । त्यहीँ नै उनीहरूले इसहाक र तिनकी पत्नी रिबेकालाई पनि गाडे । त्यहीँ नै मैले लेआलाई गाडेँ ।
32 the field and the cave that is therein, which was purchased from the children of Heth.”
त्यो खेत र त्यहाँ भएको ओडार हित्तीहरूको हातबाट किनिएको थियो ।”
33 When Jacob finished charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, breathed his last breath, and was gathered to his people.
छोराहरूलाई यो आज्ञा दिइसकेपछि याकूबले आफ्ना खुट्टा ओछ्यानमा पसारेर आफ्नो प्राण त्यागे, र आफ्ना पिता-पुर्खाहरूसँग मिल्न गए ।
