उत्पत्ति 35
1 १ देव याकोबाला म्हणाला, “ऊठ, बेथेल नगरामध्ये जा आणि तेथे राहा. तुझा भाऊ एसाव याजपासून तू पळून जात असताना ज्याने तुला दर्शन दिले, त्या देवासाठी तेथे एक वेदी बांध.”
[Some time later] God said to Jacob, “Go up to Bethel, and live there. Build an altar to worship me, God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your older brother Esau.”
2 २ तेव्हा याकोब आपल्या घरातील सर्व मंडळीला व आपल्याबरोबरच्या सगळ्यांना म्हणाला, “तुमच्याजवळ असलेल्या परक्या देवांचा त्याग करा. तुम्ही स्वतःला शुद्ध करा. आपले कपडे बदला.
So Jacob said to his household and to all the others who were with him, “Get rid of the idols you brought from Mesopotamia. Also, bathe yourselves and put on clean clothes.
3 ३ नंतर आपण येथून निघून बेथेलास जाऊ. मी दुःखात असताना ज्याने मला उत्तर दिले आणि जेथे कोठे मी गेलो तेथे जो माझ्याबरोबर होता, त्या देवासाठी मी वेदी बांधीन.”
Then we will get ready and go up to Bethel. There I will make an altar to worship God. He is the one who helped me at the time when I was greatly distressed and afraid, and he has been with me wherever I have gone.”
4 ४ तेव्हा त्या लोकांनी त्यांच्या हातातले सर्व परके देव आणि आपल्या कानातील कुंडलेही आणून याकोबाला दिली. तेव्हा याकोबाने त्या सर्व वस्तू शखेम नगराजवळील एला झाडाच्या खाली पुरून टाकल्या.
So they gave to Jacob all the idols that they had brought, and all their earrings. Jacob buried them in the ground under the big oak tree that was near Shechem [town].
5 ५ ते तेथून निघाले, त्यांच्या सभोवतालच्या नगरावर देवाने भीती उत्पन्न केली, म्हणून त्यांनी याकोबाच्या मुलांचा पाठलाग केला नाही.
As they prepared to leave there, God caused the people who lived in the cities around them to be extremely afraid of Jacob’s family [PRS], so that they did not pursue and attack them.
6 ६ अशा रीतीने याकोब व त्याच्याबरोबरचे सर्व लोक कनान देशात लूज येथे येऊन पोहचले त्यालाच आता बेथेल म्हणतात.
Jacob and all those who were with him came to Luz, which is now called Bethel, in the Canaan region.
7 ७ त्याने तेथे एक वेदी बांधली, व त्या ठिकाणाचे नाव “एल-बेथेल” असे ठेवले. कारण आपला भाऊ एसाव याजपासून पळून जाताना याच जागी प्रथम देवाने त्यास दर्शन दिले होते.
There he built an altar. He named the place El-Bethel, [which means ‘God of Bethel]’, because it was there that God revealed himself to Jacob when he was fleeing from his older brother Esau.
8 ८ रिबकेची दाई दबोरा या ठिकाणी मरण पावली तेव्हा त्यांनी तिला बेथेल येथे अल्लोन झाडाच्या खाली पुरले; त्या जागेचे नाव त्यांनी अल्लोन बाकूथ म्हणजे रडण्याचे अल्लोन असे ठेवले.
Deborah, who had taken care of Isaac’s wife Rebekah when Rebekah was a small girl, was now very old. She died and was buried under an oak tree south of Bethel. So they named that place Allon-Bacuth, [which means ‘oak of weeping’].
After Jacob and his family returned from Paddan-Aram/Mesopotamia, while they were still at Bethel, God appeared to Jacob again and blessed him.
10 १० देव त्यास म्हणाला, “तुझे नाव याकोब आहे, परंतु तुला आता याकोब म्हणणार नाहीत तर तुझे नवे नाव इस्राएल असे होईल.” म्हणून देवाने त्यास इस्राएल हे नाव दिले.
God said to him again, “Your name will no longer be Jacob. It will be Israel.” So Jacob was then called ‘Israel’.
11 ११ देव त्यास म्हणाला, “मी सर्व सर्वसमर्थ देव आहे. तू फलद्रूप आणि बहुगुणित हो. तुझ्यातून एक राष्ट्र आणि राष्ट्रांचा समुदाय येईल व तुझ्या वंशजातून राजे जन्मास येतील.
Then God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Produce many children. Your descendants will become many nations, and some of your descendants will be kings.
12 १२ मी अब्राहाम व इसहाक यांना जो देश दिला, तो आता मी तुला व तुझ्यामागे राहणाऱ्या तुझ्या संततीला देतो.”
The land that I promised to give to [your grandfather] Abraham and [your father] Isaac, I will give to you. I will also give it to your descendants.”
When God finished talking there with Jacob, he left him.
Jacob set up a large stone at the place where God had talked with him. He poured some wine and some [olive] oil on it to dedicate it to God.
Jacob named that place Bethel, [which means ‘house of God]’, because God had spoken to him there.
16 १६ मग ते बेथेल येथून पुढे निघाले, ते एफ्राथ गावापासून काही अंतरावर आले असताना तेथे राहेलीस प्रसूतीवेदना सुरू झाल्या. तिला प्रसुतीच्या असह्य वेदना होत होत्या.
Jacob and his family left Bethel and traveled south toward Ephrath [town]. When they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to have severe childbirth pains.
17 १७ राहेलीस प्रसूतीवेदनांचा अतिशय त्रास होत असताना, राहेलीची सुईण तिला म्हणाली, “भिऊ नकोस कारण तुला हाही मुलगाच होईल.”
When her pain was the most severe, the (midwife/woman who helped her to give birth) said to Rachel, “Do not be afraid, because now you have given birth to another son!”
18 १८ त्या मुलाला जन्म देताना राहेल मरण पावली, परंतु मरण्यापूर्वी तिने त्याचे नाव बेनओनी असे ठेवले, परंतु त्याच्या वडिलाने त्याचे नाव बन्यामीन असे ठेवले.
But she was dying, and with her last breath she said, “Name him Benoni,” [which means ‘son of my sorrow]’, but his father named him Benjamin, [which means ‘son of my right hand]’.
After Rachel died, she was buried alongside the road to Ephrath, which is [now called] Bethlehem.
20 २० आणि याकोबाने तिचे स्मारक म्हणून तिच्या कबरेवर एक स्तंभ उभा केला. तो स्तंभ आजपर्यंत तेथे कायम आहे.
Jacob set up a large stone over her grave, and it is still there, showing where Rachel’s grave is.
Jacob, whose new name was Israel, continued traveling with his family, and he set up his tents on the south side of the watchtower at Eder [town].
22 २२ इस्राएल त्या देशात राहत होता, त्या वेळी रऊबेन, आपल्या पित्याची उपपत्नी बिल्हा हिच्यापाशी निजला, हे इस्राएलाने ऐकले. याकोबाला बारा पुत्र होते.
While they were living in that area, Jacob’s son Reuben had sex [EUP] with Bilhah, one of his father’s (concubines/female slaves whom he had taken as a secondary wife). Someone told Jacob about it, and it made him very angry. (I will now give you/Here is) a list of Jacob’s twelve sons.
23 २३ त्यास लेआपासून झालेले पुत्र: याकोबाचा ज्येष्ठ मुलगा रऊबेन आणि शिमोन, लेवी, यहूदा, इस्साखार व जबुलून.
The sons of Leah were Reuben, who was Jacob’s oldest son, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulon.
The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
The sons of Rachel’s female slave Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.
The sons of Leah’s female slave Zilpah were Gad and Asher. All those sons of Jacob, except Benjamin, were born while he was living in Paddan-Aram/Mesopotamia.
27 २७ याकोब मग किर्याथ-आर्बा (म्हणजे हेब्रोन) येथीन मम्रे या ठिकाणी आपला बाप इसहाक याजकडे आला. येथेच अब्राहाम व इसहाक हे राहिले होते.
Jacob had returned back home to see his father Isaac at Mamre, which is also named Kiriath-Arba, and which is now named Hebron. Isaac’s father Abraham had also lived there.
Isaac lived until he was 180 years old.
29 २९ इसहाकाने शेवटचा श्वास घेतला आणि मरण पावला, आणि आपल्या पूर्वजास मिळाला, तो म्हातारा व आयुष्याचे पूर्ण दिवस होऊन मरण पावला. त्याचे पुत्र एसाव व याकोब यांनी त्यास पुरले.
He was very old when he died, joining his ancestors who had died previously. His sons Esau and Jacob buried his body.
