उत्पत्ति 21
1 आफूले भन्नुभएअनुसार परमप्रभुले सारालाई ध्यान दिनुभयो, र आफूले प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ उहाँले साराको निम्ति गर्नुभयो ।
Adonai visited Sarah [Princess] as he had said, and Adonai did to Sarah [Princess] as he had spoken.
2 सारा गर्भवती भइन् र अब्राहामको वृद्ध अवस्थामा परमप्रभुले उनलाई भन्नुभएकै समयमा उनको निम्ति एउटा छोरो जन्माइन् ।
Sarah [Princess] conceived, and bore Abraham [Father of a multitude] 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 [Father of a multitude] called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah [Princess] bore to him, Isaac [Laughter].
4 परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ आफ्नो छोरो आठ दिनको हुँदा अब्राहामले तिनको खतना गरिदिए ।
Abraham [Father of a multitude] circumcised his son, Isaac [Laughter], when he was eight days old, as God had enjoined him.
5 आफ्नो छोरो जन्मिँदा अब्राहाम सय वर्षका थिए ।
Abraham [Father of a multitude] was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac [Laughter], was born to him.
6 साराले भनिन्, “परमप्रभुले मलाई हाँसो दिनुभएको छ; सुन्नेहरू हरेक मसँगै हाँस्नेछन् ।”
Sarah [Princess] said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who sh'ma ·hears obeys· 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 [Father of a multitude], that Sarah [Princess] 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 [Father of a multitude] made a great feast on the day that Isaac [Laughter] was weaned.
9 मिश्री हागारले अब्राहामबाट जन्माएकी छोरोले ठट्टा गरिरहेको साराले देखिन् ।
Sarah [Princess] saw the son of Hagar [Flight] the Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery], whom she had borne to Abraham [Father of a multitude], metzahek ·lewd and irreverent jokes·.
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 [Father of a multitude], “Divorce and cast out this servant and her son! For the son of this servant will not be heir with my son, Isaac [Laughter].”
11 आफ्नो छोरोको कारण यो कुरा अब्राहामको निम्ति धेरै दुःखदायी थियो ।
The thing was very grievous in Abraham [Father of a multitude]’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 [Father of a multitude], “Don’t let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your servant. In all that Sarah [Princess] says to you, sh'ma ·hear obey· her voice. For your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac [Laughter].
13 त्यस कमारी स्त्रीको छोरोबाट पनि म एउटा जाति तयार गर्नेछु किनकि त्यो तेरै वंश हो ।”
I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.”
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 [Father of a multitude] rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar [Flight], putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath].
15 जब मशकको पानी सक्कियो, तिनले बालकलाई एउटा पोथ्रोमुनि छोडिन् ।
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 ।
She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, “Don’t let me see the death of the child.” She sat over against 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 ।
God sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the voice of the boy. Ha mal'ak Elohim [The Angel of God] called to Hagar [Flight] out of the sky, and said to her, “What ails you, Hagar [Flight]? Don’t be afraid. For God has sh'ma ·hear obey· 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 in 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, filled the bottle with water, and gave the boy 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 took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
22 त्यस समय अबीमेलेक र तिनका सेनापति पीकोलले अब्राहामलाई यसो भने, “तिमीले गर्ने सबै कुरामा परमप्रभु तिमीसँगै हुनुहुन्छ ।
At that time, Abimelech [My father king] and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham [Father of a multitude], 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 chesed ·loving-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 ।”
Abraham [Father of a multitude] said, “I will swear.”
25 अब्राहामले अबीमेलेकसँग तिनका नोकरहरूले उनीबाट खोसेका पानीको कुवाको विषयमा पनि गुनासो गरे ।
Abraham [Father of a multitude] complained to Abimelech [My father king] because of a water well, which Abimelech [My father king]’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 [My father king] said, “I don’t know who has done this thing. You didn’t tell me, and I didn’t sh'ma ·heard obeyed· of it until today.”
27 यसैकारण अब्राहामले भेडाहरू र गाई-गोरुहरू अबीमेलेकलाई दिए, र तिनीहरूले प्रतिज्ञा गरे ।
Abraham [Father of a multitude] took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech [My father king]. Those two made a covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·.
28 त्यसपछि आफ्नो बगालबाट अब्राहामले सातवटा पाठी छुट्ट्याए ।
Abraham [Father of a multitude] set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 अबीमेलेकले अब्राहामलाई भने, “तिमीले छुट्ट्याएर राखेको यी सात पाठीको अर्थ के हो?”
Abimelech [My father king] said to Abraham [Father of a multitude], “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 Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath], 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 Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath]. Abimelech [My father king] rose up with Phicol, the captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines [To roll in dust (As an insult)].
33 अब्राहामले बेर्शेबामा एउटा झ्याउको बोट रोपे । त्यसपछि उनले अनन्तका परमेश्वरको आराधना गरे ।
Abraham [Father of a multitude] planted a tamarisk tree in Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath], and called there on the name of Adonai, the El 'Olam [God Everlasting].
34 अब्राहाम धेरै दिन पलिश्तीहरूको भूमिमा परदेशी भएर नै रहे ।
Abraham [Father of a multitude] lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines [To roll in dust (As an insult)] many days.
