उत्पत्ति 26

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

And there is a famine in the land, besides the first famine which was in the days of Abraham, and Isaac goeth unto Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.

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

And Jehovah appeareth unto him, and saith, 'Go not down towards Egypt, tabernacle in the land concerning which I speak unto thee,

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 am with thee, and bless thee, for to thee and to thy seed I give all these lands, and I have established the oath which I have sworn to Abraham thy father;

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

and I have multiplied thy seed as stars of the heavens, and I have given to thy seed all these lands; and blessed themselves in thy seed have all 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 that Abraham hath hearkened to My voice, and keepeth My charge, My commands, My statutes, and My laws.'

6 यसैकारण इसहाक गरारमा नै बसे ।

And Isaac dwelleth 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 men of the place ask him of his wife, and he saith, 'She [is] my sister:' for he hath been afraid to say, 'My wife — lest the men of the place kill me for Rebekah, for she [is] of good appearance.'

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

And it cometh to pass, when the days have been prolonged to him there, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looketh through the window, and seeth, and lo, Isaac is 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 Abimelech calleth for Isaac, and saith, 'Lo, she [is] surely thy wife; and how hast thou said, She [is] my sister?' and Isaac saith unto him, 'Because I said, Lest I 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 saith, 'What [is] this thou hast done to us? as a little thing one of the people had lain with thy wife, and thou hadst brought upon us guilt;'

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

and Abimelech commandeth all the people, saying, 'He who cometh against this man or against his wife, dying doth die.'

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

And Isaac soweth in that land, and findeth in that year a hundredfold, and Jehovah blesseth him;

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

and the man is great, and goeth on, going on and becoming great, till that he hath been very great,

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

and he hath possession of a flock, and possession of a herd, and an abundant service; and the Philistines envy 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 digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines have stopped them, and fill them with dust.

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

And Abimelech saith unto Isaac, 'Go 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 goeth from thence, and encampeth in the valley of Gerar, and dwelleth 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 turneth back, and diggeth the wells of water which they digged in the days of Abraham his father, which the Philistines do stop after the death of Abraham, and he calleth to them names according to the names which his father called them.

19 इसहाकका नोकरहरूले बेँसीमा खन्‍दा बगिरहेको पानीको मूल भेट्टाए ।

And Isaac's servants dig in the valley, and find there a well of living 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 shepherds of Gerar strive with shepherds of Isaac, saying, 'The water [is] ours;' and he calleth the name of the well 'Strife,' because they have striven habitually with him;

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

and they dig another well, and they strive also for it, and he calleth its name 'Hatred.'

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 removeth from thence, and diggeth another well, and they have not striven for it, and he calleth its name Enlargements, and saith, 'For — now hath Jehovah given enlargement to us, and we have been fruitful in the land.'

23 त्‍यसपछि इसहाक बेर्शेबामा गए ।

And he goeth up from thence [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 Jehovah appeareth unto him during that night, and saith, 'I [am] the God of Abraham thy father, fear not, for I [am] with thee, and have blessed thee, and have multiplied thy seed, because 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 buildeth there an altar, and preacheth in the name of Jehovah, and stretcheth out there his tent, and there Isaac's servants dig a well.

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

And Abimelech hath gone unto him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phichol head of his host;

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

and Isaac saith unto them, 'Wherefore have ye come unto me, and ye have hated me, and ye send 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 say, 'We have certainly seen that Jehovah hath been with thee, and we say, 'Let there be, we pray thee, an oath between us, between us and thee, and let us 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 ।”

do not evil with us, as we have not touched thee, and as we have only done good with thee, and send thee away in peace; thou [art] now blessed of Jehovah.'

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

And he maketh for them a banquet, and they eat and drink,

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

and rise early in the morning, and swear one to another, and Isaac sendeth them away, and they go from him in peace.

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

And it cometh to pass during that day that Isaac's servants come and declare to him concerning the circumstances of the well which they have digged, and say to him, 'We have found water;'

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

and he calleth it Shebah, [oath, ] therefore the name of the city [is] Beer-Sheba, [well of the oath, ] unto this day.

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

And Esau is a son of forty years, and he taketh a wife, Judith, daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath, daughter of Elon the Hittite,

35 तिनीहरूले इसहाक र रिबेकाको जीवनमा दुःख ल्याए ।

and they are a bitterness of spirit to Isaac and to Rebekah.
