उत्पत्ति 27
1 जब इसहाक वृद्ध भए र तिनका आँखा कमजोर भएर देख्न नसक्ने भए, तब तिनले आफ्ना जेठा छोरा एसावलाई बोलाएर भने, “ए मेरो छोरो ।” उनले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “हजुर, म यहीँ छु ।”
When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see, he called his older son Esau and said to him, “My son.” “Here I am,” Esau replied.
2 तिनले भने, “हेर्, म वृद्ध भएँ । मेरो मर्ने दिनको बारेमा मलाई थाहा छैन ।
“Look,” said Isaac, “I am now old, and I do not know the day of my death.
3 अब तेरा हतियारहरू, अर्थात् तेरो ठोक्रो र धनु लिएर मैदानमा जा, र मेरो निम्ति सिकार गर् ।
Take your weapons—your quiver and bow—and go out into the field to hunt some game for me.
4 मलाई मनपर्ने स्वादिष्ठ तरकारी बनाई मकहाँ ले ताकि यो खाएर मेरो मृत्युअगि म तँलाई आशिष् दिऊँ ।”
Then prepare a tasty dish that I love and bring it to me to eat, so that I may bless you before I die.”
5 इसहाकले आफ्नो छोरो एसावसँग कुरा गरेको रिबेकाले सुनिन् । एसाव शिकार मारेर ल्याउन मैदानमा गए ।
Now Rebekah was listening to what Isaac told his son Esau. So when Esau went into the field to hunt game and bring it back,
6 रिबेकाले आफ्ना छोरा याकूबलाई भनिन्, “हेर्, तेरा पिताले तेरो दाजु एसावसँग यसो भनेर कुरा गरेको मैले सुनेँ ।
Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Behold, I overheard your father saying to your brother Esau,
7 ‘सिकार मारेर मकहाँ ले र मलाई मनपर्ने स्वादिष्ठ तरकारी बना ताकि यो खाएर मेरो मृत्युअगि परमप्रभुको सामुन्ने तँलाई आशिष् दिन सकूँ ।’
‘Bring me some game and prepare me a tasty dish to eat, so that I may bless you in the presence of the LORD before I die.’
8 यसकारण यसकारण ए मेरो छोरो, मैले तँलाई दिएका आज्ञा मान् ।
Now, my son, listen to my voice and do exactly as I tell you.
9 बथानमा गएर दुईवटा असल पाठा लिएर आइज, र म तेरा बुबालाई मनपर्ने स्वादिष्ठ तरकारी बनाउनेछु ।
Go out to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, so that I can make them into a tasty dish for your father—the kind he loves.
10 अनि तैंले त्यो तेरा बुबाकहाँ लैजा, ताकि तिनले यो खाएर आफ्नो मृत्युअगि तँलाई आशिष् देऊन् ।”
Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.”
11 याकूबले आफ्नी आमा रिबेकालाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, मेरा दाजु एसाव रौँ नै रौँ भएका मानिस हुन्, र मचाहिँ रौँ नभएको छु ।
Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, “Look, my brother Esau is a hairy man, but I am smooth-skinned.
12 सायद मेरा पिताले मलाई छाम्नुहुनेछ, र उहाँको सामु म छली देखिनेछु । मैले ममाथि आशिष् होइन, सराप ल्याउनेछु ।”
What if my father touches me? Then I would be revealed to him as a deceiver, and I would bring upon myself a curse rather than a blessing.”
13 तिनकी आमाले तिनलाई भनिन्, “हे मेरो छोरो, जुनसुकै सराप भए पनि त्यो ममाथि नै परोस् । केवल मेरो कुरा मान्, र गएर ती मकहाँ ले ।”
His mother replied, “Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey my voice and go get them for me.”
14 तब तिनी गएर ती पाठा ल्याए र आमालाई दिए, र तिनकी आमाले याकूबका बुबालाई मनपर्ने स्वादिष्ठ तरकारी तयार गरिन् ।
So Jacob went and got two goats and brought them to his mother, who made the tasty food his father loved.
15 रिबेकाले घरमा भएका आफ्ना जेठो छोरो एसावका असल लुगाहरू झिकेर आफ्नो कान्छा छोरो याकूबलाई लगाइदिइन् ।
And Rebekah took the finest clothes in the house that belonged to her older son Esau, and she put them on her younger son Jacob.
16 बाख्राका पाठाका छालाहरू तिनले याकूबका हात र घाँटीका रौँ नभएका भागमा लगाइदिइन्,
She also put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
17 अनि आफूले तयार पारेका स्वादिष्ठ तरकारी र रोटी आफ्ना छोरा याकूबका हातमा दिइन् ।
Then she handed her son Jacob the tasty food and bread she had made.
18 याकूबले आफ्ना पिताकहाँ गएर भने, “बुबा ।” इसहाकले भने, “हँ, तँ को होस्?”
So Jacob went to his father and said, “My father.” “Here I am!” he answered. “Which one are you, my son?”
19 याकूबले आफ्ना पितालाई भने, “म तपाईंको जेठो छोरो एसाव हुँ । तपाईंले मलाई भनेबमोजिम मैले गरेको छु । अब उठेर बस्नुहोस्, र मैले ल्याएको सिकारको मासु खानुहोस्, र मलाई आशिष् दिनुहोस् ।”
Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may bless me.”
20 इसहाकले आफ्ना छोरालाई भने, “मेरो छोरो, कसरी तैँले यति चाँडै त्यो भेट्टाउन सकिस्?” तिनले भने, “परमप्रभु तपाईंका परमेश्वरले यसलाई मकहाँ ल्याउनुभयो ।”
But Isaac asked his son, “How did you ever find it so quickly, my son?” “Because the LORD your God brought it to me,” he replied.
21 इसहाकले याकूबलाई भने, “मेरो छोरो, नजिकै आइज, तँ मेरो छोरो एसाव होस् कि होइनस् म छामेर थाहा पाउन सकूँ ।”
Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come closer so I can touch you, my son. Are you really my son Esau, or not?”
22 याकूब आफ्ना पिताको नजिकै गए, र इसहाकले तिनलाई छामेर भने, “सोर त याकूबको हो, तर हातहरू त एसावकै हुन् ।”
So Jacob came close to his father Isaac, who touched him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
23 तिनका हातहरू तिनका दाजु एसावकै हातजस्ता रौँ नै रौँ भएका हुनाले इसहाकले तिनलाई चिनेनन्, त्यसैले इसहाकले तिनलाई आशिष् दिए ।
Isaac did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like those of his brother Esau; so he blessed him.
24 इसहाकले सोधे, “के तँ साँच्चै मेरो छोरो एसाव नै होस्?” याकूबले जवाफ दिए, “म एसाव नै हुँ ।”
Again he asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” And he replied, “I am.”
25 तब इसहाकले भने, “तैँले शिकार गरेको मासु यहाँ ले, र म खानेछु, र तँलाई आशिष् दिऊँ ।” याकूबले त्यो मासु आफ्ना पिताकहाँ ल्याए । उनले खाए र याकूबले दाखमद्य पनि लगिदिए, र उनले पिए ।
“Serve me,” said Isaac, “and let me eat some of my son’s game, so that I may bless you.” Jacob brought it to him, and he ate; then he brought him wine, and he drank.
26 तब तिनका पिता इसहाकले तिनलाई भने, “मेरो छोरो, मेरो नजिकै आएर मलाई मलाई चुम्बन गर् ।”
Then his father Isaac said to him, “Please come near and kiss me, my son.”
27 याकूब नजिक गएर आफ्ना पितालाई चुम्बन गरे । अनि इसहाकले तिनका लुगाहरूको गन्ध सुँघेर यसो भनी आशिष् दिए, “हेर, मेरो छोराको बास्ना, परमप्रभुले आशिष् दिनुभएको खेतको बास्नाजस्तै छ ।
So he came near and kissed him. When Isaac smelled his clothing, he blessed him and said: “Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the LORD has blessed.
28 परमेश्वरले तँलाई आकाशको शीत र पृथ्वीको प्रचुरता अनि धेरै दाखमद्य र अन्न देऊन् ।
May God give to you the dew of heaven and the richness of the earth— an abundance of grain and new wine.
29 मानिसहरूले तेरो सेवा गरून् र जाति-जातिहरूले तँलाई दण्डवत् गरून् । तेरा दाजुभाइहरूको मालिक बन्, र तेरी आमाका छोराहरूले तँलाई दण्डवत् गरून् । तँलाई सराप्नेहरू सबै श्रापित होऊन्, र तँलाई आशिष् दिनेहरू सबैले आशिष् पाऊन् ।”
May peoples serve you and nations bow down to you. May you be the master of your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed, and those who bless you be blessed.”
30 इसहाकले आशिष् दिइसक्ने बित्तिकै याकूब आफ्ना पिता इसहाकको उपस्थितिबाट निस्केर गएका मात्र थिए, उनका उनका दाजु एसाव शिकार खेलेर आइपुगे ।
As soon as Isaac had finished blessing him and Jacob had left his father’s presence, his brother Esau returned from the hunt.
31 उनले पनि स्वादिष्ठ तरकारी तयार गरेर आफ्ना पिताकहाँ ल्याए । उनले आफ्नो पितालाई भने, “बुबा, उठेर आफ्नो छोराले ल्याएको सिकार खानुहोस्, र मलाई आशिष् दिनुहोस् ।”
He too made some tasty food, brought it to his father, and said to him, “My father, sit up and eat of your son’s game, so that you may bless me.”
32 उनका पिता इसहाकले उनलाई सोधे, “तँ को होस्?” उनले उत्तर दिए, “म तपाईंको जेठो छोरो एसाव हुँ ।”
But his father Isaac replied, “Who are you?” “I am Esau, your firstborn son,” he answered.
33 इसहाक बेसरी कामे र भने, “त्यसो भए सिकार मारेर यहाँ मकहाँ ल्याउने त्यो को थियो? तँ आउन अगि नै मैले त्यो सबै खाएर त्यसलाई आशिष् दिइसकेँ । वास्तवमा, त्योचाहिँ आशीर्वादी हुनेछ।”
Isaac began to tremble violently and said, “Who was it, then, who hunted the game and brought it to me? Before you came in, I ate it all and blessed him—and indeed, he will be blessed!”
34 जब एसावले आफ्ना पिता इसहाकका कुरा सुने तब उनी अत्यन्तै विह्वल भई चर्को सोरले रोए र आफ्ना पितालाई भने, “हे मेरा बुबा, मलाई पनि आशिष् दिनुहोस् ।”
When Esau heard his father’s words, he let out a loud and bitter cry and said to his father, “Bless me too, O my father!”
35 इसहाकले भने, “तेरो भाइ छल गरेर आयो, र तैंले पाउने आशिष् लग्यो ।”
But Isaac replied, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing.”
36 एसावले भने, “त्यसको नाउँ याकूब राखिएको के ठिकै होइन? किनभने त्यसले मलाई दुई पल्ट ठग्यो । त्यसले मेरो ज्येष्ठ-अधिकार हर्यो, र अहिले मैले पाउने आशिष् पनि लग्यो ।” उनले फेरि भने, “के तपाईंले मेरो निम्ति एउटै आशिष् पनि जगेडा राख्नुभएको छैन?”
So Esau declared, “Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has cheated me twice. He took my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing.” Then he asked, “Haven’t you saved a blessing for me?”
37 इसहाकले एसावलाई जवाफ दिए, “हेर्, मैले त्यसलाई तेरो मालिक तुल्याइसकेँ । र त्यसका सबै दाजुभाइहरूलाई मैले त्यसका दास तुल्याएँ । अन्न र दाखमद्यले मैले त्यसलाई तृप्त पारेको छु । अब तेरो निम्ति म के गर्न सक्छु र, छोरो?”
But Isaac answered Esau: “Look, I have made him your master and given him all his relatives as servants; I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What is left that I can do for you, my son?”
38 एसावले आफ्ना पितालाई भने, “तपाईंसित मेरो निम्ति एउटै मात्र आशिष् छैन र मेरा बुबा? मलाई पनि त आशिष् दिनुहोस् ।” एसाव डाँको छोडेर रोए ।
Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, O my father!” Then Esau wept aloud.
39 उनका पिता इसहाकले जवाफ दिएर भने, “हेर्, तँ बस्ने जमिन पृथ्वीको प्रशस्तताबाट बाहिरै हुनेछ, आकाशको शीतबाट बाहिर ।
His father Isaac answered him: “Behold, your dwelling place shall be away from the richness of the land, away from the dew of heaven above.
40 तैंले आफ्नो तरवारको बलले जीविका चलाउनेछस् र तैंले तेरो भाइको सेवा गर्नेछस् । तर जब तैंले विद्रोह गर्नेछस्, तब त्यसको जुवा तेरो काँधबाट हल्लाएर फ्याँक्नेछस् ।”
You shall live by the sword and serve your brother. But when you rebel, you will tear his yoke from your neck.”
41 आफ्ना पिताले याकूबलाई दिएको त्यस आशिष्ले गर्दा एसावले तिनलाई घृणा गर्न लागे । एसावले हृदयमा भने, “मेरा पिताको शोकको बेला नजिकै छ । त्यसपछि म मेरो भाइ याकूबलाई मार्नेछु ।”
Esau held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. And Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
42 तिनका जेठा छोरा एसावको यो कुरा रिबेकालाई सुनाइयो । यसकारण रिबेकाले आफ्ना कान्छा छोरा याकूबलाई बोलाएर भनिन्, “हेर्, तेरो दाजु एसावले तँलाई मार्ने विचार गरेर आफ्नो चित्त बुझाएको छ ।
When the words of her older son Esau were relayed to Rebekah, she sent for her younger son Jacob and told him, “Look, your brother Esau is consoling himself by plotting to kill you.
43 यसकारण मेरो छोरो, मैले भनेको कुरा मान् र हारानमा मेरा दाजु लाबानकहाँ भागेर जा ।
So now, my son, obey my voice and flee at once to my brother Laban in Haran.
44 तँप्रति तेरो दाजुको रिस नमरुञ्जेल केही दिन त्यहाँ उनीसँग बस् र
Stay with him for a while, until your brother’s fury subsides—
45 तैंले त्यसमाथि गरेको काम बिर्सन्छ । त्यसपछि म तँलाई त्यहाँबाट लिन पठाउनेछु । मैले एकै दिनमा तिमीहरू दुवै जनालाई किन गुमाउने?”
until your brother’s rage against you wanes and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send for you and bring you back from there. Why should I lose both of you in one day?”
46 रिबेकाले इसहाकलाई भनिन्, “यहाँका हित्ती स्त्रीहरूको कारण मेरो जीवनै हैरान भइसक्यो । यदि याकूबले यस देशका स्त्रीहरूजस्तै हित्तीका छोरीहरूमध्ये एउटीलाई विवाह गर्यो भने मेरो लागि मेरो जीवनको के फाइदा हुन्छ र?”
Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of these Hittite women. If Jacob takes a Hittite wife from among them, what good is my life?”
