उत्पत्ति 26

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

And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham; and Isaac went unto Abimelech, the king of the Philistines, unto Gerar.

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

And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of.

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 ।

Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, will I give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father;

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

And I will cause thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and I will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves.

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

Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

6 यसैकारण इसहाक गरारमा नै बसे ।

And Isaac dwelt 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 the men of the place asked [him] concerning his wife; and he said, She is my sister; for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, [said he, ] the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah, because she is of a handsome appearance.

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

And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech, the king of the Philistines, looked out at a window, and saw, and behold, Isaac was sporting 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 Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I thought, Perhaps I may die for her.

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

And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? How easily might one of the people have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldst have brought guiltiness upon us.

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

And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.

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

Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundred-fold: so the Lord blessed him.

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

And the man became great, and went forward and grew, until he became very great;

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

And he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants; and the Philistines envied him.

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

And all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, these the Philistines stopped, and filled them with earth.

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

And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go away from us; for thou hast become much mightier than we.

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

And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt 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 Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and which the Philistines had stopped after the death of Abraham; and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.

19 इसहाकका नोकरहरूले बेँसीमा खन्‍दा बगिरहेको पानीको मूल भेट्टाए ।

And the servants of Isaac dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing 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 ।

And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Essek; because they strove with him.

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

And they dug another well, and they strove for that also: and he called the name of it 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 ।”

And he removed from there, and dug another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rechoboth, and he said, For now the Lord hath made room for us, and we shall increase in the land.

23 त्‍यसपछि इसहाक बेर्शेबामा गए ।

And he went up from there 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 ।”

And the Lord appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father; fear not, for I am with thee, and I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for the sake of Abraham my servant.

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

And he built there an altar, and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched there his tent: and the servants of Isaac dug there a well.

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

Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Achuzzath his friend, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.

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

And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing that ye do hate me, and have 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 thee; and we said, Let there be now an oath between us and thee; and we will make a covenant with thee;

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 thou shalt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now one blessed of the Lord.

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

And he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.

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

And they rose up betimes in the morning, and they swore one to the other; and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.

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

And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and they said unto him, We have found water.

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

And he called it Shibah: therefore is the name of the city Beer-sheba unto 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 to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri, the Hittite, and Bahsemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.

35 तिनीहरूले इसहाक र रिबेकाको जीवनमा दुःख ल्याए ।

And they were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
