उत्पत्ति 25

1 अब्राहामले अर्की एउटी पत्‍नी विवाह गरे ।

Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.

2 तिनको नाउँ कतूरा थियो । तिनले अब्राहामबाट जिम्रान, योक्षान, मदान, मिद्यान, यिशबाक र शूहलाई जन्‍माइन्‌ ।

And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.

3 योक्षान शेबा र ददानका पिता भए । अश्‍शूरी, लतूशी र लऊम्‍मीहरू ददानका सन्‍तान थिए ।

And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.

4 मिद्यानका छोराहरूचाहिँ एपा, एपेर, हानोक, अबीदा र एल्‍दा थिए । यी सबै कतूराका सन्‍तान थिए ।

And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.

5 अब्राहामले आफूसँग भएका सबै थोक इसहाकलाई दिए ।

And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.

6 तर आफू जीवित छँदै तिनका उपपत्‍नीपट्टिका छोराहरूलाई उनले उपहारहरू दिए, र आफ्‍ना छोरा इसहाकबाट छुट्‍याएर तिनीहरूलाई पूर्व देशतिर पठाए ।

But to the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, to the east country.

7 अब्राहाम जम्‍मा एक सय पचहत्तर वर्षसम्‍म बाँचे ।

And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, an hundred and seventy and five years.

8 अब्राहाम पुरा जीवन जिएर बुढ़ेसकालमा मरे, र आफ्‍ना मरेका पिता-पुर्खाहरूसँग मिल्‍न गए ।

Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.

9 तिनका छोराहरू इसहाक र इश्‍माएलले तिनलाई हित्ती सोहोरको छोरा एप्रोनको खेतमा भएको मम्रेनजिकको मक्‍पेलाको ओडारमा गाडे ।

And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;

10 त्‍यो खेत अब्राहामले हेतका छोराहरूबाट किनेका थिए । अब्राहाम आफ्‍नी पत्‍नी सारासित त्‍यहीँ नै गाडिए ।

The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.

11 अब्राहामको मृत्‍युपछि परमेश्‍वरले तिनका छोरा इसहाकलाई आशिष्‌ दिनुभयो, र इसहाक बेअर-लहै-रोइ नजिकै बसोबास गरे ।

And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.

12 साराकी कमारी मिश्री हागारपट्टिबाट जन्‍मेको अब्राहामको छोरो इश्‍माएलका सन्तान यिनै थिए ।

Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bore to Abraham:

13 जन्‍म क्रमको सूचीअनुसार इश्‍माएलका छोराहरूका नाउँ यी नै थिएः इश्‍माएलको जेठो छोरो नबायोत, केदार, अदबेल,

And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

14 मिब्‍साम, मिश्‍मा, दुमा, मस्‍सा,

And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

15 हदद, तेमा, यतूर, नापीश र केदमा ।

Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:

16 इश्‍माएलका छोराहरू यी नै थिए । तिनीहरूका बस्‍ती र छाउनीहरूअनुसार ती बाह्र कुलनायकका नाउँ यी नै थिए ।

These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.

17 इश्‍माएलको जम्‍मा उमेर एक सय सैँतिस वर्ष हुँदा तिनको मृत्‍यु भयो र तिनी आफ्‍ना पिता-पुर्खाहरूसँगै मिल्‍न गए ।

And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered to his people.

18 तिनीहरूको बसोबास मिश्रको सिमानानजिक भएको अश्‍शूर देशतिर पर्ने हवीलादेखि शूरसम्‍म थियो । तिनीहरू एक-अर्काको शत्रुतामा बसे ।

And they dwelt from Havilah to Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren.

19 अब्राहामका छोरा इसहाकको वृत्तान्‍त यही हो । अब्राहाम इसहाकका पिता भए ।

And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac:

20 पद्दन-आरामका अरामी बतूएलकी छोरी अरामी लाबानकी बहिनी रिबेकासँग विवाह गर्दा इसहाक जम्मा चालिस वर्षका थिए ।

And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah for a wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.

21 तिनी बाँझी भएकी हुनाले इसहाकले आफ्‍नी पत्‍नीको निम्‍ति परमप्रभुसँग प्रार्थना गरे । परमप्रभुले तिनको प्रार्थना सुन्‍नुभयो, र तिनकी पत्‍नी रिबेका गर्भवती भइन्‌ ।

And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

22 तिनको गर्भमा भएका बालकहरू एक-अर्कासँग लड्न लागे, र तिनले भनिन् “मलाई किन यस्‍तो भयो?” तिनले यसको बारेमा परमप्रभुसँग सोधिन् ।

And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it is so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.

23 परमप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तेरो कोखमा दुई जाति छन्, तेरो गर्भदेखि नै दुई जाति छुट्टिनेछन् । एक जाति अर्कोभन्‍दा बलवान्‌ हुनेछ, र जेठाले कान्‍छाको सेवा गर्नेछ ।”

And the LORD said to her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be born of thee; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

24 तिनको सुत्‍केरी हुने बेला आउँदा तिनको कोखमा जुम्‍ल्‍याहा थिए ।

And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

25 जेठोचाहिँ शरीरभरि रौँको लुगा लगाएजस्‍तै रातो वर्णको जन्‍म्‍यो । तिनीहरूले त्‍यसको नाउँ एसाव राखे ।

And the first was born red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

26 त्‍यसपछि त्‍यसको भाइ बाहिर निस्क्यो । त्यसको हातले एसावको कुर्कुच्‍चा समातिरहेको थियो । त्‍यसको नाउँ याकूब राखियो । इसाहककी पत्‍नीले तिनीहरूलाई जन्‍माउँदा तिनी साठी वर्ष पुगेका थिए ।

And after that his brother was born, and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

27 बालकहरू बढे, र एसावचाहिँ सिपालु सिकारी र मैदानमा डुलिहिँड्‌ने मानिस भए, र याकूबचाहिँ पालमा बसिरहने शान्‍त स्‍वभावका मानिस भए ।

And the boys grew: and Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.

28 इसहाकले एसावलाई माया गर्थे, किनभने उनले शिकार गरेर ल्‍याएको मासु तिनले खान पाउँथे । तर रिबेकाले चाहिँ याकूबलाई माया गर्थिन्‌ ।

And Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.

29 याकूबले सुरुवा पकाए । एसाव मैदानबाट आए, र उनी भोकले कमजोर भएका थिए ।

And Jacob boiled pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:

30 एसावले याकूबलाई भने, “कृपया, मलाई त्‍यो रातो सुरुवा खान देऊ, म थकित छु ।” यसैकारण उनलाई एदोम भनियो ।

And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.

31 याकूबले भने, “पहिले तपाईंको ज्‍येष्‍ठ-अधिकार मलाई बेच्‍नुहोस्‌ ।”

And Jacob said, Sell to me this day thy birthright.

32 एसावले भने, “हेर, म त मर्नै आँटेको छु । मलाई त्‍यो ज्‍येष्‍ठ-अधिकारको के काम?”

And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright bring to me?

33 याकूबले भने, “पहिले मसँग शपथ खानुहोस् ।” तब एसावले शपथ खाए, र यसरी उनले आफ्‍नो ज्‍येष्‍ठ-अधिकार याकूबलाई बेचे ।

And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him: and he sold his birthright to Jacob.

34 याकूबले एसावलाई रोटी र दालको सुरुवा दिए । एसावले खानपान गरे अनि उठेर आफ्‍नो बाटो लागे । यसरी एसावले आफ्‍नो ज्‍येष्‍ठ-अधिकारलाई लत्त्याए ।

Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he ate and drank, and rose, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
