उत्पत्ति 26

1 अब्राहामको समयमा परेको पहिलो अनिकालबाहेक त्‍यस देशमा अर्को अनिकाल पनि पर्‍यो । इसहाक पलिश्‍तीहरूका राजा अबीमेलेककहाँ गरार देशमा गए ।

Then came a time of great need in the land, like that which had been before in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines, at Gerar.

2 तिनीकहाँ देखा परेर परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “तल मिश्रमा नजा, मैले तँलाई बसोबास गर् भनेकै ठाउँमा बस्‌ ।

And the Lord came to him in a vision and said, Do not go down to Egypt; keep in the land of which I will give you knowledge:

3 यही ठाउँमा बसोबास गर्, र म तँसँग रहनेछु, र तँलाई आशिष्‌ दिनेछु, किनकि म यी देशहरू तँ र तेरा सन्तानलाई दिनेछु, अनि तेरो बुबा अब्राहामसँग मैले शपथ खाएर दिएको प्रतिज्ञा म पुरा गर्नेछु ।

Keep in this land, and I will be with you and give you my blessing; for to you and to your seed will I give all these lands, giving effect to the oath which I made to your father Abraham;

4 तेरा सन्‍तानलाई आकाशका ताराहरूझैँ बढाउनेछु, र तिनीहरूलाई यी सबै देश दिनेछु । संसारका सबै जातिहरूले तेरै सन्‍तानहरूद्वारा आशिष्‌ पाउनेछन् ।

I will make your seed like the stars of heaven in number, and will give them all these lands, and your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth;

5 अब्राहामले मेरो वचन पालन गरेको र मैले दिएका आदेशहरू, मेरा आज्ञाहरू, मेरा नियमहरू र मेरा विधिविधानहरूको पालन गरेको हुनाले म यो गर्नेछु ।”

Because Abraham gave ear to my voice and kept my words, my rules, my orders, and my laws.

6 यसैकारण इसहाक गरारमा नै बसे ।

So Isaac went on living in Gerar;

7 त्‍यस ठाउँका मानिसहरूले तिनकी पत्‍नीको विषयमा सोधपुछ गर्दा तिनले “तिनी मेरी बहिनी हुन्‌” भने । किनकि तिनले यस्तो सोचे, “रिबेकालाई प्राप्‍त गर्नको लागि यस ठाउँका मानिसहरूले मलाई मार्नेछन्, किनकी तिनी धेरै सुन्दरी छिन् ।”

And when he was questioned by the men of the place about his wife, he said, She is my sister; fearing to say, She is my wife; for, he said, the men of the place may put me to death on account of Rebekah; because she is very beautiful.

8 इसहाक त्‍यहाँ बसेको धेरै दिनपछि पलिश्‍तीहरूका राजा अबीमेलेकले झ्‍यालबाट हेर्न पुगे । इसहाक आफ्‍नी पत्‍नी रिबेकासँग प्रेम-क्रीडा गरिरहेका थिए ।

And when he had been there for some time, Abimelech, king of the Philistines, looking through a window, saw Isaac playing with Rebekah his wife.

9 अबीमेलेकले इसहाकलाई आफूकहाँ बोलाएर भने, “हेर, तिनी पक्‍कै पनि तिम्री पत्‍नी हुन् । किन तिमीले ‘तिनी मेरी बहिनी हुन्‌’ भन्‍यौ?” इसहाकले उनलाई भने, “किनभने तिनलाई प्राप्‍त गर्नको निम्ति कसैले मार्लान्‌ भन्‍ने मैले सोचें ।”

And he said to Isaac, It is clear that she is your wife: why then did you say, She is my sister? And Isaac said, For fear that I might be put to death because of her.

10 अबीमेलेकले भने, “तिमीले हामीसँग यो के गरेको? कुनै मानिसले तिम्री पत्‍नीसित सजिलै नराम्रो कर्म गर्ने थियो, र तिमीले हामीमाथि दोष ल्‍याउने थियौ ।”

Then Abimelech said, What have you done to us? one of the people might well have had connection with your wife, and the sin would have been ours.

11 यसकारण अबीमेलेकले सबै मानिसहरूलाई चेताउनी दिएर भने, “यी मानिस अथवा यिनकी पत्‍नीलाई छुने जुनसुकै मानिसलाई पनि निश्‍चय नै मृत्‍युदण्‍ड हुनेछ ।”

And Abimelech gave orders to his people that anyone touching Isaac or his wife was to be put to death.

12 इसहाकले त्यस देशमा बालीनाली लगाए, र त्‍यही साल सय गुणा कटनी गरे । किनभने परमेश्‍वरले तिनलाई आशिष्‌ दिनुभयो ।

Now Isaac, planting seed in that land, got in the same year fruit a hundred times as much, for the blessing of the Lord was on him.

13 तिनी धनी भए, र अत्‍यन्‍तै धनाढ्य नहुञ्‍जेलसम्म झनझन बढेर गए ।

And his wealth became very great, increasing more and more;

14 तिनका धेरै भेडाबाख्रा, गाईवस्तु र ठुलो परिवार भयो । यसैकारण पलिश्‍तीहरूले तिनको डाह गरे ।

For he had great wealth of flocks and herds and great numbers of servants; so that the Philistines were full of envy.

15 तिनका पिता अब्राहामको पालोमा उनका नोकरहरूले खनेका सबै इनारहरू पलिश्‍तीहरूले ढुङ्गा-माटोले पुरेर रोकिदिए ।

Now all the water-holes, which his father's servants had made in the days of Abraham, had been stopped up with earth by the Philistines.

16 त्‍यसपछि अबीमेलेकले इसहाकलाई भने, “हामीहरूबाट अब तिमी गइहाल, किनभने तिमी हामीभन्दा ज्‍यादै शक्तिशाली छौ ।”

And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go away from us, for you are stronger than we are.

17 त्यसैले इसहाक त्‍यहाँबाट निस्‍केर गए अनि गरारको बेँसीमा आफ्‍नो पाल टाँगेर बसोबास गरे ।

So Isaac went away from there, and put up his tents in the valley of Gerar, making his living-place there.

18 तिनले आफ्‍ना पिताका पालोमा तिनीहरूले खनेका इनारहरू फेरि खने । अब्राहामको मृत्‍युपछि पलिश्‍तीहरूले ती रोकिदिएका थिए । अनि तिनले ती इनारहरूलाई आफ्‍ना पिताले राखेकै नाउँ राखिदिए ।

And he made again the water-holes which had been made in the days of Abraham his father, and which had been stopped up by the Philistines; and he gave them the names which his father had given them.

19 इसहाकका नोकरहरूले बेँसीमा खन्‍दा बगिरहेको पानीको मूल भेट्टाए ।

Now Isaac's servants made holes in the valley, and came to a spring of flowing water.

20 तर गरारका गोठालाहरूले इसहाकका गोठालाहरूसँग झगडा गरेर भने “यो पानी हाम्रो हो ।” यसकारण इसहाकले त्‍यस इनारको नाउँ एसेक राखे, किनभने तिनीहरूले उनीसँग झगडा गरे ।

But the herdmen of Gerar had a fight with Isaac's herdmen, for they said, The spring is ours: so he gave the spring the name of Esek, because there was a fight about it.

21 तब तिनीहरूले अर्को इनार खने, र त्‍यसमा पनि तिनीहरूले झगडा गरे । यसकारण तिनले त्‍यसको नाउँ सित्‍ना राखे ।

Then they made another water-hole, and there was a fight about that, so he gave it the name of Sitnah.

22 तिनी त्यो ठाउँ छोडेर गए अनि तिनले अर्को इनार खने, तर तिनीहरूले त्‍यसमा चाहिँ झगडा गरेनन् । यसकारण तिनले त्‍यसको नाउँ रहोबोत राखेर यसो भने, “अब परमप्रभुले हामी निम्ति बस्‍ने ठाउँ दिनुभएको छ, र हामी यस ठाउँमा फल्‍दो-फुल्‍दो हुनेछौँ ।”

Then he went away from there, and made another water-hole, about which there was no fighting: so he gave it the name of Rehoboth, for he said, Now the Lord has made room for us, and we will have fruit in this land.

23 त्‍यसपछि इसहाक बेर्शेबामा गए ।

And from there he went on to Beer-sheba.

24 परमप्रभु त्‍यही रात तिनीकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो अनि भन्‍नुभयो, “म तेरो पिता अब्राहामका परमेश्‍वर हुँ । नडरा, किनभने म तँसँग छु र म तँलाई आशिष्‌ दिनेछु । अनि मेरो दास अब्राहामको खातिर म तेरा सन्‍तानको वृद्धि गराउनेछु ।”

That night the Lord came to him in a vision, and said, I am the God of your father Abraham: have no fear for I am with you, blessing you, and your seed will be increased because of my servant Abraham.

25 इसहाकले त्‍यहाँ एउटा वेदी बनाएर परमप्रभुका नाउँको पुकारा गरे । तिनले आफ्‍नो पाल त्‍यहीँ नै टाँगे, र तिनका नोकरहरूले त्यहाँ एउटा इनार खने ।

Then he made an altar there, and gave worship to the name of the Lord, and he put up his tents there, and there his servants made a water-hole.

26 एक दिन अबीमेलेक आफ्‍ना मित्र अहुज्‍जत र आफ्‍नो फौजका सेनापति पीकोललाई साथमा लिएर गरारबाट तिनीकहाँ आए ।

And Abimelech had come to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his friend and Phicol, the captain of his army.

27 इसहाकले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “घृणा गरेर तपाईंहरूले आफ्नो बिचबाट मलाई निकाल्‍नुभयो, अनि तपाईंहरू अहिले किन मकहाँ आउँदै

And Isaac said to them, Why have you come to me, seeing that in your hate for me you sent me away from you?

28 हुनुहुन्छ?” त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले भने, “हामीले प्रस्टै देख्‍यौँ कि परमप्रभु तपाईंसँग हुनुहुन्‍छ । यसैले हाम्रा बिचमा, अर्थात्‌ तपाईं र हाम्रा बिचमा एउटा सम्‍झौता होस्‌ भन्‍ने हामीले निर्णय गर्‍यौँ,

And they said, We saw clearly that the Lord was with you: so we said, Let there be an oath between us and you, and let us make an agreement with you;

29 ताकि जसरी हामीले तपाईंको कुनै हानी गरेनौँ र तपाईंसँग राम्रो व्यवहार गर्‍यौँ अनि तपाईंलाई शान्तिमा पठायौँ । त्यसरी नै तपाईंले पनि हाम्रो कुनै हानि गर्नुहुनेछैन । तपाईं साँच्‍चै नै परमप्रभुबाट आशिषित् हुनुहुन्छ ।”

That you will do us no damage, even as we put no hand on you, and did you nothing but good, and sent you away in peace: and now the blessing of the Lord is on you.

30 त्यसैले इसहाकले तिनीहरूका निम्‍ति भोज तयार गरे, र तिनीहरूले खाए र पिए ।

Then he made a feast for them, and they all had food and drink.

31 तिनीहरू बिहान सबेरै उठे र आपसमा शपथ खाए । अनि इसहाकले तिनीहरूलाई बिदा दिए, र तिनीहरूले उनलाई शान्‍तिमा छाडेर गए ।

And early in the morning they took an oath one to the other: then Isaac sent them away and they went on their way in peace.

32 त्‍यही दिन इसहाकका नोकरहरू आएर तिनीहरूले खनेका इनारको विषयमा तिनलाई बताए । तिनीहरूले भने, “हामीले पानी भेट्टाएका छौँ ।”

And that day Isaac's servants came to him and gave him word of the water-hole which they had made, and said to him, We have come to water.

33 तिनले त्‍यस इनारको नाउँ शिबा राखे, यसकारण त्‍यस सहरको नाउँ आजसम्‍म पनि बेर्शेबा नै छ ।

And he gave it the name of Shibah: so the name of that town is Beer-sheba to this day.

34 चालिस वर्षको हुँदा एसावले हित्ती बेरीकी छोरी यहूदीत र हित्ती एलोनकी छोरी बासमतलाई विवाह गरी ल्‍याए ।

And when Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite:

35 तिनीहरूले इसहाक र रिबेकाको जीवनमा दुःख ल्याए ।

And Isaac and Rebekah had grief of mind because of them.
