उत्पत्ति 22
1 यी कुराहरूपछि परमेश्वरले अब्राहामको जाँच गर्नुभयो । उहाँले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “ए अब्राहाम!” अब्राहमले भने, “म यहीँ छु ।”
After these things, God tested Abraham [Father of a multitude], and said to him, “Abraham [Father of a multitude]!” He said, “Here I am.”
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 ।”
He said, “Now take your son, your only son, whom you 'ahavta ·affectionately love·, even Isaac [Laughter], and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you 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 ।
Abraham [Father of a multitude] rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac [Laughter] his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
4 तेस्रो दिन अब्राहामले माथि हेरे र टाढा त्यो ठाउँ देखे ।
On the third day Abraham [Father of a multitude] lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off.
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 ।”
Abraham [Father of a multitude] said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go yonder. We will hawa ·bow low, prostrate· in worship, and come back 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 ।
Abraham [Father of a multitude] took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac [Laughter] his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went 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?”
Isaac [Laughter] spoke to Abraham [Father of a multitude] his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”
8 अब्राहामले भने, “मेरो छोरा, परमेश्वरले नै होमबलिको निम्ति थुमा जुटाइदिनुहुनेछ ।” अनि ती दुवै सँगसँगै गए ।
Abraham [Father of a multitude] said, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went together.
9 परमेश्वरले तिनलाई भन्नुभएको ठाउँमा पुगेपछि अब्राहामले त्यहाँ एउटा वेदी बनाएर दाउरा राखे । त्यसपछि तिनले आफ्नो छोरो इसहाकलाई बाँधेर वेदीमा दाउरामाथि राखे ।
They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham [Father of a multitude] built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac [Laughter] his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.
10 अब्राहामले आफ्नो छोरालाई मार्न छुरी उठाए ।
Abraham [Father of a multitude] stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill his son.
11 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुका एक जना दूतले स्वर्गबाट तिनलाई भने, “ए अब्राहाम, अब्राहाम!” तिनले भने, “म यहीँ छु ।”
Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham! [Father of a multitude, Father of a multitude]!” He said, “Here I am.”
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
He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your 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 ।
Abraham [Father of a multitude] lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham [Father of a multitude] went and took the ram, and offered him 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 ।
Abraham [Father of a multitude] called the name of that place Yahweh Yeer'eh [Yahweh will be seen / He sustains breathing will provide]. As it is said to this day, “On Adonai’s mountain, it will be provided.”
15 परमप्रभुका दूतले दोस्रो पल्ट स्वर्गबाट अब्राहामलाई बोलाएर भने,
Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] called to Abraham [Father of a multitude] a second time out of the sky,
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, “I have sworn by myself, says Adonai, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your 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 bless you greatly, and I will multiply your offspring greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gate of his enemies.
18 तेरा सन्तानद्वारा पृथ्वीका सबै जातिहरू आशिषित्् हुनेछन्, किनकि तैंले मेरो वचन पालन गरिस् ।”
By your offspring, all the nations of the earth will be blessed because you have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· my voice.”
19 त्यसैले अब्राहाम आफ्ना जवान मानिसहरूकहाँ फर्केर आए, र तिनीहरू बेर्शेबासम्म सँगसँगै गए, अनि उनी बेर्शेबामा बसोबास गरे ।
So Abraham [Father of a multitude] returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath]. Abraham [Father of a multitude] lived at Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath].
20 यी कुराहरू भएको केही समयपछि “मिल्काले पनि तपाईंका भाइ नाहोरबाट छोराहरू जन्माइन्” भन्ने कुरा अब्राहामले सुने ।
After these things, Abraham [Father of a multitude] was told, “Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
21 तिनीहरू जेठो ऊज, त्यसको भाइ बूज, र आरामका पिता कमूएल,
Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram [Elevated],
22 र केसेद, हजो, पिलदाश, यिदलाप र बतूएल थिए ।
Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23 बतूएल रिबेकाका पिता भए । अब्राहामका भाइ नाहोरबाट मिल्काले जन्माएका आठ छोराहररू यी नै थिए ।
Bethuel became the father of Rebekah [Securely bound]. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s brother.
24 यीबाहेक रूमा नाउँ भएकी तिनकी भित्रिनीले पनि तेबह, गहम, तहस र माकालाई जन्माई ।
His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
