उत्पत्ति 12
1 परमप्रभुले अब्रामलाई भन्नुभयो, “तेरो देश, तेरा नातेदारहरू र तेरो पिताको घरानाबाट मैले तँलाई देखाउने मुलुकतिर जा ।
And Jehovah had said to Abram, Go out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, to the land that I will shew thee.
2 म तँलाई ठुलो जाति बनाउनेछु, म तँलाई आशिष् दिनेछु, तेरो नाउँ महान् हुनेछ र तँ आशिष् हुनेछस् ।
And I will make of thee a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.
3 तँलाई आशिष् दिनेलाई म आशिष् दिनेछु, तर तँलाई अनादर गर्नेलाई म सराप दिनेछु । तँद्वारा नै पृथ्वीका सबै परिवारहरूले आशिष् पाउनेछन् ।
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
4 यसैले परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएबमोजिम अब्राम गए र लोत पनि तिनीसँगै गए । हारान छोडेर जाँदा अब्राम पचहत्तर वर्षका थिए ।
And Abram departed as Jehovah had said to him. And Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran.
5 अब्रामले तिनकी पत्नी साराई, तिनका भतिजा लोत, तिनीहरूले हारानमा जम्मा गरेका सम्पत्ति र प्राप्त गरेका मानिसहरू सबै लगे । तिनीहरू कनानको भूमिमा जानलाई हिँडे र कनानको भूमिमा आइपुगे ।
And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had acquired, and the souls that they had obtained in Haran, and they went out to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
6 अब्राम त्यो भूमि हुँदै शकेममा भएको मोरेको फलाँटको रुखसम्म गए । त्यस बेला त्यो भूमिमा कनानीहरू बस्थे ।
And Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
7 परमप्रभु अब्रामकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “यो भूमि म तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई दिनेछु ।” यसैले अब्रामले तिनीकहाँ देखा पर्नुहुने परमप्रभुको निम्ति एउटा वेदी बनाए ।
And Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land. And there he built an altar to Jehovah who had appeared to him.
8 त्यहाँबाट तिनी बेथेलको पूर्वतिरको देशतिर गए, जहाँ तिनले बेथेललाई पश्चिमतिर र ऐलाई पूर्वतिर पारेर तिनको पाल टाँगे । त्यहाँ तिनले एउटा वेदी बनाए र परमप्रभुको नाउँको पुकारा गरे ।
And he removed thence towards the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, [having] Bethel toward the west, and Ai toward the east; and there he built an altar to Jehovah, and called on the name of Jehovah.
9 अनि अब्राम यात्रा गर्दै नेगेवतिर गए ।
And Abram moved onward, going on still toward the south.
10 त्यो भूमिमा अनिकाल लागेको थियो, यसैले अब्राम बस्नलाई मिश्रतिर झरे (गए), किनकि त्यो भूमिमा निकै अनिकाल लागेको थियो ।
And there was a famine in the land. And Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was grievous in the land.
11 तिनी मिश्र प्रवेश गर्न लाग्दा, तिनले आफ्नी पत्नी साराईलाई भने, “हेर, तिमी कति सुन्दरी स्त्री छौ भनी म जान्दछु ।
And it came to pass when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a woman fair to look upon.
12 मिश्रीहरूले तिमीलाई देख्दा 'यो यसकी पत्नी हो' भन्ने छन् र तिनीहरूले मलाई मार्ने छन्, तर तिनीहरूले तिमीलाईचाहिँ जीवितै राख्नेछन् ।
And it will come to pass when the Egyptians see thee, that they will say, She is his wife; and they will slay me, and save thee alive.
13 यसैले तिमी मेरी बहिनी हौ भनी तिमीले भन, ताकि तिम्रो खातिर मेरो भलो होस् र तिम्रो खातिर मेरो जीवन बाँचोस् ।
Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister, that it may be well with me on thy account, and my soul may live because of thee.
14 मिश्र प्रवेश गर्न लग्दा साराई अति सुन्दरी थिइन् भनी मिश्रीहरूले देखे ।
And it came to pass when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
15 फारोका अधिकारीहरूले तिनलाई देखे र फारोको सामु तिनको प्रशंसा गरे र ती स्त्रीलाई फारोको घरानामा लगियो ।
And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
16 फारोले तिनको खातिर अब्रामलाई राम्रो व्यवहार गरे र तिनलाई गोरु, गधाहरू, नोकरीहरू, गधैनीहरू र ऊँटहरू दिए ।
And he treated Abram well on her account; and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and bondmen, and bondwomen, and she-asses, and camels.
17 अनि परमप्रभुले अब्रामकी पत्नी साराईको कारण फारो र तिनको परिवारमाथि ठुलो विपत्ति ल्याउनुभयो ।
And Jehovah plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
18 फारोले अब्रामलाई बोलाए र भने, “तिमीले मलाई यो के गरेको? तिनी तिम्रो पत्नी थिइन् भनी मलाई किन बताएनौ?
And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
19 'तिनी मेरी बहिनी हुन्' भनी तिमीले किन मलाई भन्यौ? त्यसैले मैले तिनलाई मेरी पत्नी बनाउन मैले लगेँ । यसकारण, तिम्रो पत्नी यहीँ छिन् । तिनलाई लेऊ र आफ्नो बाटो लाग ।
Why didst thou say, She is my sister, so that I took her as my wife. And now, behold, there is thy wife: take [her], and go away.
20 अनि फारोले तिनको बारेमा आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई आदेश दिए र तिनीहरूले तिनलाई तिनकी पत्नी र तिनीसँग भएका सबै थोकसहित पठाए ।
And Pharaoh commanded [his] men concerning him, and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
