उत्पत्ति 21
1 आफूले भन्नुभएअनुसार परमप्रभुले सारालाई ध्यान दिनुभयो, र आफूले प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ उहाँले साराको निम्ति गर्नुभयो ।
And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
2 सारा गर्भवती भइन् र अब्राहामको वृद्ध अवस्थामा परमप्रभुले उनलाई भन्नुभएकै समयमा उनको निम्ति एउटा छोरो जन्माइन् ।
For Sarah conceived, and bare 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 that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
4 परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ आफ्नो छोरो आठ दिनको हुँदा अब्राहामले तिनको खतना गरिदिए ।
And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5 आफ्नो छोरो जन्मिँदा अब्राहाम सय वर्षका थिए ।
And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
6 साराले भनिन्, “परमप्रभुले मलाई हाँसो दिनुभएको छ; सुन्नेहरू हरेक मसँगै हाँस्नेछन् ।”
And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, [so that] all that hear 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 unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born [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 the [same] day that Isaac was weaned.
9 मिश्री हागारले अब्राहामबाट जन्माएकी छोरोले ठट्टा गरिरहेको साराले देखिन् ।
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto 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 ।”
Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman 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 because 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 unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto 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 of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, 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] unto Hagar, putting [it] on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
15 जब मशकको पानी सक्कियो, तिनले बालकलाई एउटा पोथ्रोमुनि छोडिन् ।
And the water was spent in the bottle, 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 her down over against [him] a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against [him], and lift 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 angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath 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 thine 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 dwelt in the wilderness, and became 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 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 Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God [is] with thee in all that thou doest:
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 unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son: [but] according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast 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 a well of water, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.
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 wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I [of it], but to day.
27 यसैकारण अब्राहामले भेडाहरू र गाई-गोरुहरू अबीमेलेकलाई दिए, र तिनीहरूले प्रतिज्ञा गरे ।
And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them 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 unto Abraham, What [mean] these seven ewe lambs which thou hast 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, For [these] seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.
31 यसैकारण उनले त्यस ठाउँलाई बेर्शेबा भने किनभने तिनीहरू दुवैले प्रतिज्ञा गरेका थिए ।
Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them.
32 तिनीहरूले बेर्शेबामा प्रतिज्ञा गरे, र त्यसपछि अबीमेलेक र सेनापति पीकोल पलिश्तीहरूको भूमिमा फर्के ।
Thus they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, 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 grove in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
34 अब्राहाम धेरै दिन पलिश्तीहरूको भूमिमा परदेशी भएर नै रहे ।
And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines’ land many days.
