उत्पत्ति 22
1 यी कुराहरूपछि परमेश्वरले अब्राहामको जाँच गर्नुभयो । उहाँले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “ए अब्राहाम!” अब्राहमले भने, “म यहीँ छु ।”
And it came to pass after these things, that God tried Abraham, and said to him, Abraham! and he said, Here am I.
2 त्यसपछि परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “तैँले माया गर्ने तेरो छोरो इसहाकलाई लिएर मोरीयाहको देशमा जा । त्यहाँको कुनै एक डाँडामा त्यसलाई होमबलि गर्, जुन म तँलाई बताउनेछु ।”
And he said, Take now thy son, thine only [son], whom thou lovest, Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah, and there offer him up for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
3 त्यसैले अब्राहाम बिहानै उठेर गधामा काठी कसे, अनि आफ्ना दुई जवान मानिसहरू र आफ्नो छोरो इसहाकलाई साथमा लिए । उनले होमबलिको निम्ति दाउरा चिरे, त्यसपछि परमेश्वरले तिनलाई भन्नुभएको ठाउँतर्फ यात्रा सुरु गरे ।
And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he clave the wood for the burnt-offering, and rose up and went to the place that God had told him of.
4 तेस्रो दिन अब्राहामले माथि हेरे र टाढा त्यो ठाउँ देखे ।
On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar.
5 अब्राहामले आफ्ना जवान मानिसहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरू गधासँग यहीँ बस, अनि म र यो केटो त्यहाँ जानेछौँ । हामी पूजा गर्नेछौँ र तिमीहरूकहाँ फेरि फर्केर आउनेछौँ ।”
And Abraham said to his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
6 त्यसपछि अब्राहामले होमबलिको निम्ति दाउरा लिए र आफ्नो छोरो इसहाकलाई बोकाए । उनले आगो र छुरी आफ्नो हातमा लिए अनि ती दुवै जना सँगसँगै गए ।
And Abraham took the wood of the burnt-offering, and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and the knife, and they went both of them together.
7 इसहाकले आफ्ना पिता अब्राहामलाई भने, “बुबा,” अनि तिनले भने, “म यहीँ छु, मेरो छोरा ।” त्यसले भन्यो, “आगो र दाउरा त यहाँ छन्, तर होमबलिको लागि थुमाचाहिँ खोइ?”
And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, My father! And he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood; but where is the sheep for a burnt-offering?
8 अब्राहामले भने, “मेरो छोरा, परमेश्वरले नै होमबलिको निम्ति थुमा जुटाइदिनुहुनेछ ।” अनि ती दुवै सँगसँगै गए ।
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself with the sheep for a burnt-offering. And they went both of them together.
9 परमेश्वरले तिनलाई भन्नुभएको ठाउँमा पुगेपछि अब्राहामले त्यहाँ एउटा वेदी बनाएर दाउरा राखे । त्यसपछि तिनले आफ्नो छोरो इसहाकलाई बाँधेर वेदीमा दाउरामाथि राखे ।
And they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built the altar there, and piled the wood; and he bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
10 अब्राहामले आफ्नो छोरालाई मार्न छुरी उठाए ।
And Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to slaughter his son.
11 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुका एक जना दूतले स्वर्गबाट तिनलाई भने, “ए अब्राहाम, अब्राहाम!” तिनले भने, “म यहीँ छु ।”
And the Angel of Jehovah called to him from the heavens, and said, Abraham, Abraham! And he said, Here am I.
12 उनले भने, “तेरो हात त्यस केटामाथि नउठा, न त त्यसलाई केही गर, आफ्नो एक मात्र छोरालाई पनि मबाट तैंले रोकेर राखिनस् भन्ने देखेर तैँले परमेश्वरको भय मान्दोरहेछस् भनी मैले अब थाहा पाएँ
And he said, Stretch not out thy hand against the lad, neither do anything to him; for now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son], from me.
13 ।” अब्राहामले माथितिर हेरे र एउटा भेडा झाडीमा सीङ अल्झेर फसेको देखे । अब्राहामले गएर त्यस भेडालाई ल्याए, र तिनका छोराको सट्टामा त्यसैलाई होमबलि चढाए ।
And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, behind was a ram caught in the thicket by its horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt-offering instead of his son.
14 यसकारण अब्राहामले त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ “परमप्रभुले जुटाउनुहुन्छ” राखे, र “परमप्रभुको डाँडामा जुटाइनेछ” भनी आजसम्म पनि भनिन्छ ।
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh; as it is said at the present day, On the mount of Jehovah will be provided.
15 परमप्रभुका दूतले दोस्रो पल्ट स्वर्गबाट अब्राहामलाई बोलाएर भने,
And the Angel of Jehovah called to Abraham from the heavens a second time,
16 यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, “मैले आफ्नै नाउँमा शपथ खाएको छु, कि तैंले यो काम गरेकोले र तेरो छोरो, अर्थात् तेरो एउटै छोरालाई पनि मबाट नरोकेकोले
and said, By myself I swear, saith Jehovah, that, because thou hast done this, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son],
17 म निश्चय नै तँलाई आशिष् दिनेछु र म तेरा सन्तानको वृद्धि गरेर आकाशका तारा र समुद्र किनारका बालुवासरह तुल्याउनेछु । तेरा सन्तानले आफ्ना शत्रुहरूका ढोकाहरू पार गर्नेछन् ।
I will richly bless thee, and greatly multiply thy seed, as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is on the sea-shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
18 तेरा सन्तानद्वारा पृथ्वीका सबै जातिहरू आशिषित्् हुनेछन्, किनकि तैंले मेरो वचन पालन गरिस् ।”
and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves, because thou hast hearkened to my voice.
19 त्यसैले अब्राहाम आफ्ना जवान मानिसहरूकहाँ फर्केर आए, र तिनीहरू बेर्शेबासम्म सँगसँगै गए, अनि उनी बेर्शेबामा बसोबास गरे ।
And Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba. And Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
20 यी कुराहरू भएको केही समयपछि “मिल्काले पनि तपाईंका भाइ नाहोरबाट छोराहरू जन्माइन्” भन्ने कुरा अब्राहामले सुने ।
And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also has borne sons to thy brother Nahor:
21 तिनीहरू जेठो ऊज, त्यसको भाइ बूज, र आरामका पिता कमूएल,
Uz his first-born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 र केसेद, हजो, पिलदाश, यिदलाप र बतूएल थिए ।
and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 बतूएल रिबेकाका पिता भए । अब्राहामका भाइ नाहोरबाट मिल्काले जन्माएका आठ छोराहररू यी नै थिए ।
(And Bethuel begot Rebecca.) These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24 यीबाहेक रूमा नाउँ भएकी तिनकी भित्रिनीले पनि तेबह, गहम, तहस र माकालाई जन्माई ।
And his concubine, named Reumah, she also bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maacah.
