उत्पत्ति 21
1 आफूले भन्नुभएअनुसार परमप्रभुले सारालाई ध्यान दिनुभयो, र आफूले प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ उहाँले साराको निम्ति गर्नुभयो ।
And Jehovah visited Sarah as he had said, and Jehovah did to Sarah as he had spoken.
2 सारा गर्भवती भइन् र अब्राहामको वृद्ध अवस्थामा परमप्रभुले उनलाई भन्नुभएकै समयमा उनको निम्ति एउटा छोरो जन्माइन् ।
And Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
3 आफू र साराबाट जन्मेको आफ्नो छोरोको नाउँ अब्राहामले इसहाक राखे ।
And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
4 परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ आफ्नो छोरो आठ दिनको हुँदा अब्राहामले तिनको खतना गरिदिए ।
And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5 आफ्नो छोरो जन्मिँदा अब्राहाम सय वर्षका थिए ।
And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born to him.
6 साराले भनिन्, “परमप्रभुले मलाई हाँसो दिनुभएको छ; सुन्नेहरू हरेक मसँगै हाँस्नेछन् ।”
And Sarah said, God has made me to laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me.
7 तिनले फेरि भनिन्, “साराले छोराछोरी हेरचाह गर्नेछे भनेर अब्राहामलाई कसले भन्नेथियो र, तर उनको वृद्ध अवस्थामा मैले उनको निम्ति एउटा छोरो जन्माएकी छु!”
And she said, Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah should give sons suck? For I have borne him a son in his old age.
8 त्यो बालक बढ्दै गयो र त्यसले दूध खान छोड्यो, र इसहाकले दूध खान छोडेको दिन अब्राहामले एउटा ठुलो भोजको आयोजना गरे ।
And the child grew, and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
9 मिश्री हागारले अब्राहामबाट जन्माएकी छोरोले ठट्टा गरिरहेको साराले देखिन् ।
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
10 त्यसैकारण तिनले अब्राहामलाई भनिन्, “त्यस कमारी स्त्री र त्यसको छोरोलाई बाहिर निकालिदिनुहोस्, किनकि त्यस कमारी स्त्रीको छोरो मेरो छोरो इसहाकसँगै उत्तराधिकारी बन्नेछैन ।”
Therefore she said to Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son. For the son of this handmaid shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
11 आफ्नो छोरोको कारण यो कुरा अब्राहामको निम्ति धेरै दुःखदायी थियो ।
And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son.
12 तर परमप्रभुले अब्राहामलाई भन्नुभयो, “त्यो केटो र तेरी कमारी स्त्रीको निम्ति दुःख नमान् । यस विषयमा साराले तँलाई भनेकी सबै कुराहरू तैँले सुन्, किनकि इसहाकद्वारा नै तेरा वंशहरूको नाम रहनेछ ।
And God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy handmaid. In all that Sarah says to thee, hearken to her voice. For in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
13 त्यस कमारी स्त्रीको छोरोबाट पनि म एउटा जाति तयार गर्नेछु किनकि त्यो तेरै वंश हो ।”
And also I will make a nation of the son of the handmaid, because he is thy seed.
14 अब्राहाम सबेरै उठे, अनि रोटी र पानीको एउटा मशक लिएर हागारको काँधमा राखिदिए । उनले बालकलाई तिनकै साथमा दिएर पठाए । तिनी त्यहाँबाट गइन् र बेर्शेबाको उजाड-स्थानमा भौँतारिन् ।
And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
15 जब मशकको पानी सक्कियो, तिनले बालकलाई एउटा पोथ्रोमुनि छोडिन् ।
And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
16 त्यसपछि तिनी त्यस बालकबाट केही दुरी (करिब एउटा काँडले पार गर्ने दुरी) मा गएर बसिन् र भनिन्, “मैले यस बालकको मृत्यु हेर्न नपरोस् ।” त्यस बालकबाट केही दुरीमा बसेर तिनले आफ्नो सोर उचालिन् र रोइन् ।
And she went, and sat herself down opposite him a good way off, as it were a bowshot. For she said, Let me not look upon the death of the child. And she sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
17 परमप्रभुले त्यस बालकको सोर सुन्नुभयो, र स्वर्गबाट परमप्रभुको एउटा दूतले हागारलाई बोलाएर भने, “हागार, तिमीलाई के कुराले सताइरहेको छ? नडराऊ, किनकि त्यस बालक भएको ठाउँबाट त्यसको सोर परमप्रभुले सुन्नुभएको छ ।
And God heard the voice of the lad. And the agent of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, What troubles thee, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.
18 उठ, त्यस बालकलाई उठाऊ, र त्यसलाई उत्साहित गराऊ, किनभने म त्यसबाट एउटा महान् जाति खडा गर्नेछु ।”
Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thy hand, for I will make him a great nation.
19 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले तिनका आँखा खोलिदिनुभयो, र तिनले पानीको एउटा कुवा देखिन् । तिनी गएर त्यस मशकमा पानी भरिन्, अनि बालकलाई पानी दिइन् ।
And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. And she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
20 परमप्रभु त्यस बालकसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो, र ऊ बढ्दै गयो । ऊ उजाड-स्थानमै बस्थ्यो र एउटा धनुर्धारी बन्यो ।
And God was with the lad, and he grew. And he dwelt in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer.
21 ऊ पारानको उजाड-स्थानमा बस्दा, उसकी आमाले उसको निम्ति मिश्रबाट एउटा पत्नी ल्याइदिइन् ।
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother took for him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
22 त्यस समय अबीमेलेक र तिनका सेनापति पीकोलले अब्राहामलाई यसो भने, “तिमीले गर्ने सबै कुरामा परमप्रभु तिमीसँगै हुनुहुन्छ ।
And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou do.
23 यसैकारण अब मसँग यहाँ परमप्रभुको सामु प्रतिज्ञा गर, कि तिमीले म, मेरा सन्तति र मेरा उत्तराधिकारीहरूसँग कुनै छल गर्नेछैनौ । मैले तिमीलाई प्रतिज्ञामा जस्तो विश्वसनीयता देखाएँ तिमीले पनि त्यस्तै विश्वसनीयता म, र तिमी बसोबास गर्दै आएको यस भूमिप्रति देखाउनू ।”
Now therefore swear to me here by God that thou will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son. But according to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shall do to me, and to the land in which thou have sojourned.
24 अब्राहामले भने, “म प्रतिज्ञा गर्दछु ।”
And Abraham said, I will swear.
25 अब्राहामले अबीमेलेकसँग तिनका नोकरहरूले उनीबाट खोसेका पानीको कुवाको विषयमा पनि गुनासो गरे ।
And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water which Abimelech's servants had taken away violently.
26 अबीमेलेकले भने, “यो काम कसले गर्यो मलाई थाहा भएन । तिमीले यस विषयमा मलाई पहिले नै भनेनौ, र मैले यसबारे आजसम्म केही सुनेको छैनँ ।”
And Abimelech said, I know not who has done this thing, neither did thou tell me, nor yet did I hear of it, but today.
27 यसैकारण अब्राहामले भेडाहरू र गाई-गोरुहरू अबीमेलेकलाई दिए, र तिनीहरूले प्रतिज्ञा गरे ।
And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech. And the two made a covenant.
28 त्यसपछि आफ्नो बगालबाट अब्राहामले सातवटा पाठी छुट्ट्याए ।
And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 अबीमेलेकले अब्राहामलाई भने, “तिमीले छुट्ट्याएर राखेको यी सात पाठीको अर्थ के हो?”
And Abimelech said to Abraham, What do these seven ewe lambs mean which thou have set by themselves?
30 तिनले जवाफ दिए, “यो कुवा मैले खनेको हुँ भनी साक्षी होस् भनेर यी सात पाठी तपाईंले मेरा हातबाट प्राप्त गर्नुहुनेछ ।”
And he said, These seven ewe lambs thou shall take from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well.
31 यसैकारण उनले त्यस ठाउँलाई बेर्शेबा भने किनभने तिनीहरू दुवैले प्रतिज्ञा गरेका थिए ।
Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because there they swore both of them.
32 तिनीहरूले बेर्शेबामा प्रतिज्ञा गरे, र त्यसपछि अबीमेलेक र सेनापति पीकोल पलिश्तीहरूको भूमिमा फर्के ।
So they made a covenant at Beersheba. And Abimelech rose up, and Phicol the captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
33 अब्राहामले बेर्शेबामा एउटा झ्याउको बोट रोपे । त्यसपछि उनले अनन्तका परमेश्वरको आराधना गरे ।
And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there called on the name of Jehovah, the Everlasting God.
34 अब्राहाम धेरै दिन पलिश्तीहरूको भूमिमा परदेशी भएर नै रहे ।
And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
