उत्पत्ति 16
1 अब अब्रामकी पत्नी साराईले तिनको निम्ति कुनै सन्तान जन्माएकी थिइनन्, तर तिनकी हागार नाम गरेकी एउटी मिश्री कमारी थिई ।
Now Sarai the wife of Abram, had brought forth no children; but having a handmaid, an Egyptian, named Agar,
2 त्यसैले साराईले अब्रामलाई भनिन्, “हेर्नुहोस्, परमप्रभुले मलाई कुनै सन्तान दिनुभएको छैन । जानुहोस् मेरी कमारीसँग सुत्नुहोस् । सायद त्यसद्वारा मैले सन्तान प्राप्त गर्नेछु।” अब्रामले साराईको कुरा माने ।
She said to her husband: Behold, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: go in unto my handmaid, it may be I may have children of her at least. And when he agreed to her request,
3 अब्राम कनानमा बसेको दश वर्षपछि साराईले आफ्नी मिश्री कमारी हागारलाई अब्राहमकी पत्नी हुनलाई दिइन् ।
She took Agar the Egyptian her handmaid, ten years after they first dwelt in the land of Chanaan, and gave her to her husband to wife.
4 त्यसैले अब्रामले हागारसँग सम्बन्ध राखे र त्यो गर्भवती भई । जब त्यसले आफू गर्भवती भएको थाहा पाई, त्यसले आफ्नी मालिक्नीलाई अपमानको दृष्टिले हेर्न थाली ।
And he went in to her. But she, perceiving that she was with child, despised her mistress.
5 त्यसपछि साराइले अब्रामलाई भनिन्, “ममाथि भएको यो खराबी तपाईंको कारणले हो । मैले मेरी कमारी तपाईंको अँगालोमा दिएँ, अनि जब त्यसले आफू गर्भवती भएको चाल पाई, त्यसको दृष्टिमा म तुच्छ भएँ । परमेश्वरले तपाईं र मेरो बिचमा इन्साफ गरून् ।”
And Sarai said to Abram: Thou dost unjustly with me: I gave my handmaid into thy bosom, and she perceiving herself to be with child, despiseth me. The Lord judge between me and thee.
6 तर अब्राहमले साराइलाई भने, “हेर, तिम्री कमारी तिम्रै शक्तिमा छे, तिमीलाई जे उत्तम लाग्छ त्यही गर ।” त्यसैले साराईले त्यससँग कठोर व्यवहार गरिन्, अनि त्यो तिनीदेखि भागी ।
And Abram made answer, and said to her: Behold thy handmaid is in thy own hand, use her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai afflicted her, she ran away.
7 परमप्रभुका दूतले त्यसलाई मरुभूमिमा भएको पानीको मूल नजिकै भेट्टाए । त्यो मूल शूरतिर जाने बाटोमा पर्छ ।
And the angel of the Lord having found her, by a fountain of water in the wilderness, which is in the way to Sur in the desert,
8 तिनले सोधे, “साराईकी कमारी हागार, तँ कहाँबाट आइस् र कहाँ जाँदै छेस्?” त्यसले जवाफ दिई, “म मेरी मालिक्नी साराईदेखि भाग्दै छु।”
He said to her: Agar, handmaid of Sarai, whence comest thou? and whither goest thou? And she answered: I flee from the face of Sarai, my mistress.
9 परमप्रभुका दूतले त्यसलाई भने, “फर्केर तेरी मालिक्नीकहाँ जा र तिनको अधिकारमा समर्पित भएर बस्।”
And the angel of the Lord said to her: Return to thy mistress, and humble thyself under her hand.
10 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुका दूतले त्यसलाई भने, “म तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई औधी बढाउनेछु, कि तिनीहरू गन्न नै नसकिने गरी धेरै हुनेछन् ।”
And again he said: I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, and it shall not be numbered for multitude.
11 परमेश्वरका दूतले यो पनि भने, “हेर्, तँ गर्भवती भएकी छेस् र एउटा छोरो जन्माउनेछेस्, र तैँले त्यसको नाम इश्माएल राख्नेछेस् किनकि परमप्रभुले तेरो दुःख सुन्नुभएको छ । मानिसहरूमा त्यो एउटा जङ्गली गधाझैँ हुनेछ ।
And again: Behold, said he, thou art with child, and thou shalt bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Ismael, because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.
12 त्यो हरेक मानिसको विरुद्धमा खडा हुनेछ, र हरेक मानिस त्यसको विरूद्धमा लाग्नेछ, र आफ्ना सबै दाजुभाइहरूबाट अलग बस्नेछ ।”
He shall be a wild man: his hand will be against all men, and all men’s hands against him: and he shall pitch his tents over against all his brethren.
13 त्यसपछि त्यसले आफूसँग बात गर्नुहुने परमेश्वरका दूतलाई यो नाउँ दिई, “तपाईं मलाई देख्नुहुने परमप्रभु हुनुहुन्छ,” किनकि त्यसले भनी, “के उहाँले मलाई देखिसकेपछि पनि म उहाँलाई साँच्चै देखिरहन्छु?”
And she called the name of the Lord that spoke unto her: Thou the God who hast seen me. For she said: Verily here have I seen the hinder parts of him that seeth me.
14 त्यसैले त्यस इनारको नाउँ बेअर-लहै-रोइ राखियो, जुन कादेश र बेरेदको बिचमा पर्छ ।
Therefore she called that well, The well of him that liveth and seeth me. The same is between Cades and Barad.
15 हागारले अब्रामको छोरो जन्माई, अनि हागारले जन्माएको छोरोको नाम अब्रामले इश्माएल राखे ।
And Agar brought forth a son to Abram: who called his name Ismael.
16 हागारले अब्रामको निम्ति छोरो जन्माउँदा अब्राम छयासी वर्षका थिए ।
Abram was four score and six years old when Agar brought him forth Ismael.
