< Genesis 27 >

1 When Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, “My son?” He said to him, “Here I am.”
जब इसहाक वृद्ध भए र तिनका आँखा कमजोर भएर देख्‍न नसक्‍ने भए, तब तिनले आफ्‍ना जेठा छोरा एसावलाई बोलाएर भने, “ए मेरो छोरो ।” उनले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “हजुर, म यहीँ छु ।”
2 He said, “See now, I am old. I don’t know the day of my death.
तिनले भने, “हेर्, म वृद्ध भएँ । मेरो मर्ने दिनको बारेमा मलाई थाहा छैन ।
3 Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and get me venison.
अब तेरा हतियारहरू, अर्थात्‌ तेरो ठोक्रो र धनु लिएर मैदानमा जा, र मेरो निम्‍ति सिकार गर् ।
4 Make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you before I die.”
मलाई मनपर्ने स्‍वादिष्‍ठ तरकारी बनाई मकहाँ ले ताकि यो खाएर मेरो मृत्‍युअगि म तँलाई आशिष्‌ दिऊँ ।”
5 Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
इसहाकले आफ्नो छोरो एसावसँग कुरा गरेको रिबेकाले सुनिन् । एसाव शिकार मारेर ल्‍याउन मैदानमा गए ।
6 Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,
रिबेकाले आफ्‍ना छोरा याकूबलाई भनिन्, “हेर्, तेरा पिताले तेरो दाजु एसावसँग यसो भनेर कुरा गरेको मैले सुनेँ ।
7 ‘Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless you before the LORD before my death.’
‘सिकार मारेर मकहाँ ले र मलाई मनपर्ने स्‍वादिष्‍ठ तरकारी बना ताकि यो खाएर मेरो मृत्‍युअगि परमप्रभुको सामुन्‍ने तँलाई आशिष्‌ दिन सकूँ ।’
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
यसकारण यसकारण ए मेरो छोरो, मैले तँलाई दिएका आज्ञा मान् ।
9 Go now to the flock and get me two good young goats from there. I will make them savory food for your father, such as he loves.
बथानमा गएर दुईवटा असल पाठा लिएर आइज, र म तेरा बुबालाई मनपर्ने स्‍वादिष्‍ठ तरकारी बनाउनेछु ।
10 You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death.”
अनि तैंले त्‍यो तेरा बुबाकहाँ लैजा, ताकि तिनले यो खाएर आफ्‍नो मृत्‍युअगि तँलाई आशिष्‌ देऊन् ।”
11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
याकूबले आफ्‍नी आमा रिबेकालाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, मेरा दाजु एसाव रौँ नै रौँ भएका मानिस हुन्‌, र मचाहिँ रौँ नभएको छु ।
12 What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, and not a blessing.”
सायद मेरा पिताले मलाई छाम्‍नुहुनेछ, र उहाँको सामु म छली देखिनेछु । मैले ममाथि आशिष्‌ होइन, सराप ल्याउनेछु ।”
13 His mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me.”
तिनकी आमाले तिनलाई भनिन्, “हे मेरो छोरो, जुनसुकै सराप भए पनि त्यो ममाथि नै परोस्‌ । केवल मेरो कुरा मान्, र गएर ती मकहाँ ले ।”
14 He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savory food, such as his father loved.
तब तिनी गएर ती पाठा ल्‍याए र आमालाई दिए, र तिनकी आमाले याकूबका बुबालाई मनपर्ने स्‍वादिष्‍ठ तरकारी तयार गरिन्‌ ।
15 Rebekah took the good clothes of Esau, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son.
रिबेकाले घरमा भएका आफ्‍ना जेठो छोरो एसावका असल लुगाहरू झिकेर आफ्नो कान्‍छा छोरो याकूबलाई लगाइदिइन्‌ ।
16 She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.
बाख्राका पाठाका छालाहरू तिनले याकूबका हात र घाँटीका रौँ नभएका भागमा लगाइदिइन्,
17 She gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
अनि आफूले तयार पारेका स्‍वादिष्‍ठ तरकारी र रोटी आफ्‍ना छोरा याकूबका हातमा दिइन्‌ ।
18 He came to his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”
याकूबले आफ्‍ना पिताकहाँ गएर भने, “बुबा ।” इसहाकले भने, “हँ, तँ को होस्‌?”
19 Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please arise, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me.”
याकूबले आफ्‍ना पितालाई भने, “म तपाईंको जेठो छोरो एसाव हुँ । तपाईंले मलाई भनेबमोजिम मैले गरेको छु । अब उठेर बस्‍नुहोस्, र मैले ल्‍याएको सिकारको मासु खानुहोस्, र मलाई आशिष्‌ दिनुहोस्‌ ।”
20 Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” He said, “Because the LORD your God gave me success.”
इसहाकले आफ्‍ना छोरालाई भने, “मेरो छोरो, कसरी तैँले यति चाँडै त्‍यो भेट्टाउन सकिस्‌?” तिनले भने, “परमप्रभु तपाईंका परमेश्‍वरले यसलाई मकहाँ ल्याउनुभयो ।”
21 Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.”
इसहाकले याकूबलाई भने, “मेरो छोरो, नजिकै आइज, तँ मेरो छोरो एसाव होस्‌ कि होइनस्‌ म छामेर थाहा पाउन सकूँ ।”
22 Jacob went near to Isaac his father. He felt him, and said, “The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
याकूब आफ्‍ना पिताको नजिकै गए, र इसहाकले तिनलाई छामेर भने, “सोर त याकूबको हो, तर हातहरू त एसावकै हुन्‌ ।”
23 He didn’t recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau’s hands. So he blessed him.
तिनका हातहरू तिनका दाजु एसावकै हातजस्‍ता रौँ नै रौँ भएका हुनाले इसहाकले तिनलाई चिनेनन्‌, त्यसैले इसहाकले तिनलाई आशिष्‌ दिए ।
24 He said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He said, “I am.”
इसहाकले सोधे, “के तँ साँच्‍चै मेरो छोरो एसाव नै होस्‌?” याकूबले जवाफ दिए, “म एसाव नै हुँ ।”
25 He said, “Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless you.” He brought it near to him, and he ate. He brought him wine, and he drank.
तब इसहाकले भने, “तैँले शिकार गरेको मासु यहाँ ले, र म खानेछु, र तँलाई आशिष्‌ दिऊँ ।” याकूबले त्‍यो मासु आफ्‍ना पिताकहाँ ल्‍याए । उनले खाए र याकूबले दाखमद्य पनि लगिदिए, र उनले पिए ।
26 His father Isaac said to him, “Come near now, and kiss me, my son.”
तब तिनका पिता इसहाकले तिनलाई भने, “मेरो छोरो, मेरो नजिकै आएर मलाई मलाई चुम्बन गर् ।”
27 He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, “Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD has blessed.
याकूब नजिक गएर आफ्‍ना पितालाई चुम्बन गरे । अनि इसहाकले तिनका लुगाहरूको गन्‍ध सुँघेर यसो भनी आशिष्‌ दिए, “हेर, मेरो छोराको बास्‍ना, परमप्रभुले आशिष्‌ दिनुभएको खेतको बास्‍नाजस्‍तै छ ।
28 God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.
परमेश्‍वरले तँलाई आकाशको शीत र पृथ्‍वीको प्रचुरता अनि धेरै दाखमद्य र अन्‍न देऊन् ।
29 Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers. Let your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you. Blessed be everyone who blesses you.”
मानिसहरूले तेरो सेवा गरून्‌ र जाति-जातिहरूले तँलाई दण्‍डवत्‌ गरून्‌ । तेरा दाजुभाइहरूको मालिक बन्, र तेरी आमाका छोराहरूले तँलाई दण्‍डवत्‌ गरून्‌ । तँलाई सराप्‍नेहरू सबै श्रापित होऊन्, र तँलाई आशिष्‌ दिनेहरू सबैले आशिष्‌ पाऊन्‌ ।”
30 As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
इसहाकले आशिष्‌ दिइसक्‍ने बित्तिकै याकूब आफ्‍ना पिता इसहाकको उपस्थितिबाट निस्‍केर गएका मात्र थिए, उनका उनका दाजु एसाव शिकार खेलेर आइपुगे ।
31 He also made savory food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that your soul may bless me.”
उनले पनि स्‍वादिष्‍ठ तरकारी तयार गरेर आफ्‍ना पिताकहाँ ल्‍याए । उनले आफ्‍नो पितालाई भने, “बुबा, उठेर आफ्‍नो छोराले ल्‍याएको सिकार खानुहोस्, र मलाई आशिष्‌ दिनुहोस्‌ ।”
32 Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?” He said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
उनका पिता इसहाकले उनलाई सोधे, “तँ को होस्‌?” उनले उत्तर दिए, “म तपाईंको जेठो छोरो एसाव हुँ ।”
33 Isaac trembled violently, and said, “Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it to me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will be blessed.”
इसहाक बेसरी कामे र भने, “त्यसो भए सिकार मारेर यहाँ मकहाँ ल्‍याउने त्यो को थियो? तँ आउन अगि नै मैले त्‍यो सबै खाएर त्‍यसलाई आशिष्‌ दिइसकेँ । वास्तवमा, त्‍योचाहिँ आशीर्वादी हुनेछ।”
34 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, even me also, my father.”
जब एसावले आफ्‍ना पिता इसहाकका कुरा सुने तब उनी अत्‍यन्‍तै विह्वल भई चर्को सोरले रोए र आफ्‍ना पितालाई भने, “हे मेरा बुबा, मलाई पनि आशिष्‌ दिनुहोस्‌ ।”
35 He said, “Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing.”
इसहाकले भने, “तेरो भाइ छल गरेर आयो, र तैंले पाउने आशिष्‌ लग्यो ।”
36 He said, “Isn’t he rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing.” He said, “Haven’t you reserved a blessing for me?”
एसावले भने, “त्‍यसको नाउँ याकूब राखिएको के ठिकै होइन? किनभने त्‍यसले मलाई दुई पल्‍ट ठग्यो । त्‍यसले मेरो ज्‍येष्‍ठ-अधिकार हर्‍यो, र अहिले मैले पाउने आशिष्‌ पनि लग्‍यो ।” उनले फेरि भने, “के तपाईंले मेरो निम्‍ति एउटै आशिष्‌ पनि जगेडा राख्‍नुभएको छैन?”
37 Isaac answered Esau, “Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants. I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What then will I do for you, my son?”
इसहाकले एसावलाई जवाफ दिए, “हेर्, मैले त्‍यसलाई तेरो मालिक तुल्‍याइसकेँ । र त्‍यसका सबै दाजुभाइहरूलाई मैले त्‍यसका दास तुल्‍याएँ । अन्‍न र दाखमद्यले मैले त्‍यसलाई तृप्‍त पारेको छु । अब तेरो निम्‍ति म के गर्न सक्‍छु र, छोरो?”
38 Esau said to his father, “Do you have just one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father.” Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
एसावले आफ्‍ना पितालाई भने, “तपाईंसित मेरो निम्ति एउटै मात्र आशिष्‌ छैन र मेरा बुबा? मलाई पनि त आशिष्‌ दिनुहोस्‌ ।” एसाव डाँको छोडेर रोए ।
39 Isaac his father answered him, “Behold, your dwelling will be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of the sky from above.
उनका पिता इसहाकले जवाफ दिएर भने, “हेर्, तँ बस्‍ने जमिन पृथ्‍वीको प्रशस्‍तताबाट बाहिरै हुनेछ, आकाशको शीतबाट बाहिर ।
40 You will live by your sword, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, that you will shake his yoke from off your neck.”
तैंले आफ्‍नो तरवारको बलले जीविका चलाउनेछस् र तैंले तेरो भाइको सेवा गर्नेछस्‌ । तर जब तैंले विद्रोह गर्नेछस्, तब त्‍यसको जुवा तेरो काँधबाट हल्‍लाएर फ्‍याँक्‍नेछस्‌ ।”
41 Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
आफ्‍ना पिताले याकूबलाई दिएको त्‍यस आशिष्‌ले गर्दा एसावले तिनलाई घृणा गर्न लागे । एसावले हृदयमा भने, “मेरा पिताको शोकको बेला नजिकै छ । त्‍यसपछि म मेरो भाइ याकूबलाई मार्नेछु ।”
42 The words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. She sent and called Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, “Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you.
तिनका जेठा छोरा एसावको यो कुरा रिबेकालाई सुनाइयो । यसकारण रिबेकाले आफ्‍ना कान्‍छा छोरा याकूबलाई बोलाएर भनिन्, “हेर्, तेरो दाजु एसावले तँलाई मार्ने विचार गरेर आफ्‍नो चित्त बुझाएको छ ।
43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.
यसकारण मेरो छोरो, मैले भनेको कुरा मान्‌ र हारानमा मेरा दाजु लाबानकहाँ भागेर जा ।
44 Stay with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turns away—
तँप्रति तेरो दाजुको रिस नमरुञ्‍जेल केही दिन त्‍यहाँ उनीसँग बस्‌ र
45 until your brother’s anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?”
तैंले त्यसमाथि गरेको काम बिर्सन्छ । त्यसपछि म तँलाई त्‍यहाँबाट लिन पठाउनेछु । मैले एकै दिनमा तिमीहरू दुवै जनालाई किन गुमाउने?”
46 Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?”
रिबेकाले इसहाकलाई भनिन्, “यहाँका हित्ती स्‍त्रीहरूको कारण मेरो जीवनै हैरान भइसक्‍यो । यदि याकूबले यस देशका स्‍त्रीहरूजस्तै हित्तीका छोरीहरूमध्‍ये एउटीलाई विवाह गर्‍यो भने मेरो लागि मेरो जीवनको के फाइदा हुन्‍छ र?”
