उत्पत्ति 21
1 आफूले भन्नुभएअनुसार परमप्रभुले सारालाई ध्यान दिनुभयो, र आफूले प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ उहाँले साराको निम्ति गर्नुभयो ।
Now God visited Sarah as he had said, and did to Sarah as he had spoken.
2 सारा गर्भवती भइन् र अब्राहामको वृद्ध अवस्थामा परमप्रभुले उनलाई भन्नुभएकै समयमा उनको निम्ति एउटा छोरो जन्माइन् ।
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 ।
Abraham called 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 ।
Abraham circumcised his son, Isaac, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5 आफ्नो छोरो जन्मिँदा अब्राहाम सय वर्षका थिए ।
Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.
6 साराले भनिन्, “परमप्रभुले मलाई हाँसो दिनुभएको छ; सुन्नेहरू हरेक मसँगै हाँस्नेछन् ।”
Sarah said, "God has made me 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!”
She said, "Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah would nurse children? 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 ।
The child grew, and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
9 मिश्री हागारले अब्राहामबाट जन्माएकी छोरोले ठट्टा गरिरहेको साराले देखिन् ।
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 slave woman and her son. For the son of this slave woman will not be heir with my son, Isaac."
11 आफ्नो छोरोको कारण यो कुरा अब्राहामको निम्ति धेरै दुःखदायी थियो ।
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 ।
God said to Abraham, "Do not let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your slave woman. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For from Isaac will your descendants be called.
13 त्यस कमारी स्त्रीको छोरोबाट पनि म एउटा जाति तयार गर्नेछु किनकि त्यो तेरै वंश हो ।”
And I will also make a great nation of the son of the slave woman, because he is your offspring."
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 ।
Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took food and a skin of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
15 जब मशकको पानी सक्कियो, तिनले बालकलाई एउटा पोथ्रोमुनि छोडिन् ।
The water in the skin was gone, and she shoved the boy 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 ।
She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, "Do not let me see the death of the boy." So she sat across from him, and he wept loudly.
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 boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from the sky and said to her, "What troubles you, Hagar? Do not be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.
18 उठ, त्यस बालकलाई उठाऊ, र त्यसलाई उत्साहित गराऊ, किनभने म त्यसबाट एउटा महान् जाति खडा गर्नेछु ।”
Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him by your 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 ।
God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
20 परमप्रभु त्यस बालकसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो, र ऊ बढ्दै गयो । ऊ उजाड-स्थानमै बस्थ्यो र एउटा धनुर्धारी बन्यो ।
God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived 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 ।
He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
22 त्यस समय अबीमेलेक र तिनका सेनापति पीकोलले अब्राहामलाई यसो भने, “तिमीले गर्ने सबै कुरामा परमप्रभु तिमीसँगै हुनुहुन्छ ।
It happened at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, "God is with you in all that you 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 you 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 you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner."
24 अब्राहामले भने, “म प्रतिज्ञा गर्दछु ।”
And Abraham said, "I swear."
25 अब्राहामले अबीमेलेकसँग तिनका नोकरहरूले उनीबाट खोसेका पानीको कुवाको विषयमा पनि गुनासो गरे ।
Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, 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 ।”
Abimelech said, "I do not know who has done this thing. Neither did you tell me, neither did I hear of it, until today."
27 यसैकारण अब्राहामले भेडाहरू र गाई-गोरुहरू अबीमेलेकलाई दिए, र तिनीहरूले प्रतिज्ञा गरे ।
Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant.
28 त्यसपछि आफ्नो बगालबाट अब्राहामले सातवटा पाठी छुट्ट्याए ।
Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 अबीमेलेकले अब्राहामलाई भने, “तिमीले छुट्ट्याएर राखेको यी सात पाठीको अर्थ के हो?”
Abimelech said to Abraham, "What do these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves mean?"
30 तिनले जवाफ दिए, “यो कुवा मैले खनेको हुँ भनी साक्षी होस् भनेर यी सात पाठी तपाईंले मेरा हातबाट प्राप्त गर्नुहुनेछ ।”
He said, "You shall take these seven ewe lambs 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 they both swore there.
32 तिनीहरूले बेर्शेबामा प्रतिज्ञा गरे, र त्यसपछि अबीमेलेक र सेनापति पीकोल पलिश्तीहरूको भूमिमा फर्के ।
So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Abimelech rose up with Phicol, the commander 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 called there on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
34 अब्राहाम धेरै दिन पलिश्तीहरूको भूमिमा परदेशी भएर नै रहे ।
Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
