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, he became almost blind. One day he summoned Esau, his firstborn/older son,
2 तिनले भने, “हेर्, म वृद्ध भएँ । मेरो मर्ने दिनको बारेमा मलाई थाहा छैन ।
and said to him, “My son?” Esau replied, “Here I am!”
3 अब तेरा हतियारहरू, अर्थात् तेरो ठोक्रो र धनु लिएर मैदानमा जा, र मेरो निम्ति सिकार गर् ।
Isaac said, “Listen to me. I am very old, and I do not know when I will die. So now take your bow and quiver full of arrows and go out into the countryside, and hunt for a wild animal for me.
4 मलाई मनपर्ने स्वादिष्ठ तरकारी बनाई मकहाँ ले ताकि यो खाएर मेरो मृत्युअगि म तँलाई आशिष् दिऊँ ।”
Kill one and prepare the kind of tasty meat that I like. Then bring it to me so that after I eat it, I can give you a blessing before I die.”
5 इसहाकले आफ्नो छोरो एसावसँग कुरा गरेको रिबेकाले सुनिन् । एसाव शिकार मारेर ल्याउन मैदानमा गए ।
Rebekah was listening as Isaac said that to his son, Esau. So when Esau left the tent to go to the countryside to hunt for a wild animal in order to kill it 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, “Listen to me. I heard your father talking to your brother, Esau, saying,
7 ‘सिकार मारेर मकहाँ ले र मलाई मनपर्ने स्वादिष्ठ तरकारी बना ताकि यो खाएर मेरो मृत्युअगि परमप्रभुको सामुन्ने तँलाई आशिष् दिन सकूँ ।’
‘Go and kill some wild animal and bring it here, and prepare the meat in a tasty way, so that I may eat it, and then before I die I can give you my blessing while Yahweh is listening.’
8 यसकारण यसकारण ए मेरो छोरो, मैले तँलाई दिएका आज्ञा मान् ।
So now, my son, do what I am telling you.
9 बथानमा गएर दुईवटा असल पाठा लिएर आइज, र म तेरा बुबालाई मनपर्ने स्वादिष्ठ तरकारी बनाउनेछु ।
Go out to the flock and [kill] two nice young goats and bring [the meat] to me. Then I will prepare some tasty food for your father, the way he likes it.
10 अनि तैंले त्यो तेरा बुबाकहाँ लैजा, ताकि तिनले यो खाएर आफ्नो मृत्युअगि तँलाई आशिष् देऊन् ।”
Then you can take it to your father, in order that he can eat it, and then, before he dies, he will give his blessing to you, [and not to your older brother].”
11 याकूबले आफ्नी आमा रिबेकालाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, मेरा दाजु एसाव रौँ नै रौँ भएका मानिस हुन्, र मचाहिँ रौँ नभएको छु ।
But Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, “But my brother Esau’s skin has hair all over it, and my skin is not like that! My skin is smooth!
12 सायद मेरा पिताले मलाई छाम्नुहुनेछ, र उहाँको सामु म छली देखिनेछु । मैले ममाथि आशिष् होइन, सराप ल्याउनेछु ।”
What will happen if my father touches me? He will realize that I am tricking him, and as a result (I will be cursed/he will say that God will do bad things to) me, not 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, “If that happens, let the curse be on me. You do what I am telling you. Go and get the goats 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 killed two goats and brought them to his mother. Then [with the meat] his mother prepared some tasty food, just the way his father liked.
15 रिबेकाले घरमा भएका आफ्ना जेठो छोरो एसावका असल लुगाहरू झिकेर आफ्नो कान्छा छोरो याकूबलाई लगाइदिइन् ।
Then Rebekah took her older son Esau’s clothes that were with her in the tent, 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 the smooth part of his neck.
17 अनि आफूले तयार पारेका स्वादिष्ठ तरकारी र रोटी आफ्ना छोरा याकूबका हातमा दिइन् ।
Then she handed him some bread and the tasty food that she had prepared.
18 याकूबले आफ्ना पिताकहाँ गएर भने, “बुबा ।” इसहाकले भने, “हँ, तँ को होस्?”
Jacob took it to his father and said, “My father!” Isaac replied, “I’m here; which of my sons are you?”
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 son. I did what you told me to do. Sit up and eat some of the meat so that you can then 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, “My son, how is it that you were able to find and kill an animal so quickly?” Jacob replied, “Because Yahweh, whom you worship, enabled me to be successful.”
21 इसहाकले याकूबलाई भने, “मेरो छोरो, नजिकै आइज, तँ मेरो छोरो एसाव होस् कि होइनस् म छामेर थाहा पाउन सकूँ ।”
Isaac said to Jacob, “Come near to me, my son, so that I can touch you and determine whether you are really my son Esau.”
22 याकूब आफ्ना पिताको नजिकै गए, र इसहाकले तिनलाई छामेर भने, “सोर त याकूबको हो, तर हातहरू त एसावकै हुन् ।”
So Jacob went close to him. Isaac. Isaac touched him and said, “Your voice sounds like Jacob, but your hands feel hairy, like the hands of your older brother, 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 Jacob, [because he was blind] and because Jacob’s hands were now hairy, like those of his older brother, Esau. So Isaac prepared to bless Jacob.
24 इसहाकले सोधे, “के तँ साँच्चै मेरो छोरो एसाव नै होस्?” याकूबले जवाफ दिए, “म एसाव नै हुँ ।”
But first Isaac asked, “Are you really my son Esau?” Jacob replied, “Yes, 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 ।
Isaac said, “My son, bring me some of the meat that you have cooked, so that I may eat it and then give you my blessing.” So Jacob brought him some, and he ate it. Jacob also brought him some wine, and he drank it.
26 तब तिनका पिता इसहाकले तिनलाई भने, “मेरो छोरो, मेरो नजिकै आएर मलाई मलाई चुम्बन गर् ।”
Then Isaac said to him, “My son, come here and kiss me.”
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 Jacob came close to him, and his father kissed him on the cheek. Isaac smelled the clothes Jacob was wearing. They smelled like Esau’s clothes. So he said, “Truly, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that Yahweh has blessed.
28 परमेश्वरले तँलाई आकाशको शीत र पृथ्वीको प्रचुरता अनि धेरै दाखमद्य र अन्न देऊन् ।
I ask that God will send down to you dew from heaven [to water your fields], and cause you to have abundant crops, good harvests of grain, and grapes for 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 ।”
I ask that people of many nations will serve you and bow down to you. I ask that you will rule over your brothers, and that your mother’s descendants will also bow down to you. I ask that God will curse/punish those who (curse you/ask God to do bad things to you), and bless those who bless you.”
30 इसहाकले आशिष् दिइसक्ने बित्तिकै याकूब आफ्ना पिता इसहाकको उपस्थितिबाट निस्केर गएका मात्र थिए, उनका उनका दाजु एसाव शिकार खेलेर आइपुगे ।
After Isaac finished blessing Jacob, Jacob was just leaving the room where his father was, when his older brother, Esau, returned from hunting.
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 ।”
Esau cooked some tasty meat and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “My father, please sit up and eat some of the meat that I have cooked, so that you can then give me your blessing!”
32 उनका पिता इसहाकले उनलाई सोधे, “तँ को होस्?” उनले उत्तर दिए, “म तपाईंको जेठो छोरो एसाव हुँ ।”
His father, Isaac, said to him, “Who are you?” He answered, “I am Esau, your firstborn son!”
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।”
Then Isaac, realizing that it was not Esau who had come earlier, trembled very violently. He said, “Then who is it that brought me some meat from an animal that he had hunted and killed, and I ate it all? He was here just before you came. I blessed him, and I cannot (take back that blessing/declare that those things will not happen to him).”
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 those words of his father, he cried loudly. He was very disappointed. He said to his father, “My father, bless me, too!”
35 इसहाकले भने, “तेरो भाइ छल गरेर आयो, र तैंले पाउने आशिष् लग्यो ।”
But his father said, “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?”
Esau said, “It is right [RHQ] that his name is Jacob, which means ‘cheat,’ because he deceived me two times. The first time he took my rights from being his firstborn son, and this time he took my blessing!” Then he asked, “Do you not have any blessing left 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?”
Isaac answered and said to Esau, “I have declared that your younger brother will rule over you, and declared that all his relatives will serve him. And I have said that God will give him plenty of grain and grapes for wine. So, my son, (what can I do for you?/There is nothing more that I can do for you!)” [RHQ]
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, “My father, do you have only one blessing? My father, bless me, too!” Then Esau cried very loudly.
39 उनका पिता इसहाकले जवाफ दिएर भने, “हेर्, तँ बस्ने जमिन पृथ्वीको प्रशस्तताबाट बाहिरै हुनेछ, आकाशको शीतबाट बाहिर ।
His father Isaac answered and said to him, “The place where you will live will be far from the fertile soil and from the dew that God sends from heaven [to water the fields].
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 will [rob and] kill people [MTY] in order to [get what you need to] live, and you will be as though you are your brother’s slave. But when you decide to rebel against him, you will (free yourself from/no longer be under) his control.”
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 ।”
So, because his father had given a blessing to Jacob, and not to him, Esau hated his younger brother. Esau thought to himself, “After my father dies and we finish mourning for him, I will kill 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 ।
But Rebekah found out what her older son, Esau, was thinking. So she summoned her younger son, Jacob, and said to him, “Listen to me. Your older brother, Esau, is [comforting himself by] planning to kill you, to get revenge because of your deceiving your father.
43 यसकारण मेरो छोरो, मैले भनेको कुरा मान् र हारानमा मेरा दाजु लाबानकहाँ भागेर जा ।
So now, my son, listen carefully to what I am telling you. Escape quickly and go and stay with my brother Laban, in Haran [town].
44 तँप्रति तेरो दाजुको रिस नमरुञ्जेल केही दिन त्यहाँ उनीसँग बस् र
Stay with him a while, until your older brother is no longer angry.
45 तैंले त्यसमाथि गरेको काम बिर्सन्छ । त्यसपछि म तँलाई त्यहाँबाट लिन पठाउनेछु । मैले एकै दिनमा तिमीहरू दुवै जनालाई किन गुमाउने?”
When he forgets what you did to him, I will send a message to you, to tell you to return from there. If Esau kills you, [others will kill him, and] then both my sons would die at the same time!” [RHQ]
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?”
Rebekah also said to Isaac, “These [foreign] women whom Esau has married, who are descendants of Heth, are making my life miserable. I would prefer to die than to see Jacob marry a woman from the descendants of Heth in this area!”
