उत्पत्ति 28
1 इसहाकले याकूबलाई बोलाएर आशीर्वाद दिए, र यसो भनेर आज्ञा गरे, “तैँले कनानी स्त्रीहरूबाट आफ्नो निम्ति पत्नी नलिनू ।
Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “You must not take a wife from the Canaanite women.
2 पद्दन-आराममा तेरी आमाका बुबा बतूएलको घरमा गएर त्यहीँबाट तेरा मामा लाबानका छोरीहरूमध्ये एउटीलाई विवाह गर् ।
Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father, and take a wife from there, one of the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.
3 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वरले तँलाई आशिष् देऊन्; तँलाई फल्दो-फुल्दो गराएर तेरो वृद्धि गराऊन्, ताकि तँ मानिसहरूको एक समूह बन्न सक्नेछस् ।
May God Almighty bless you, make you fruitful and multiply you, so that you may become a multitude of peoples.
4 उहाँले तँलाई र तँ पछिका तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई अब्राहामले पाएको आशिष् देऊन्, ताकि परमेश्वरले अब्राहामलाई दिनुभएको तँ बसेको देशमा तेरै अधिकार होस् ।”
May he give you the blessing of Abraham, to you, and to your descendants after you, that you may inherit the land where you have been living, which God gave to Abraham.”
5 यसरी इसहाकले याकूबलाई पठाए । तिनी पद्दन-आराममा एसाव र याकूबकी आमा रिबेकाका दाजु अरामी बतूएलका छोरा लाबानकहाँ गए ।
So Isaac sent Jacob away. Jacob went to Paddan Aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
6 अब इसहाकले याकूबलाई आशीर्वाद दिएर पत्नी ल्याउन त्यहाँबाट पद्दन-आराममा पठाएको देखे । याकूबले तिनलाई आशीर्वाद दिएर यस्तो आज्ञा दिएको पनि उनले देखे “तैँले कनानी स्त्रीहरूबाट आफ्नो निम्ति पत्नी नलिनू ।”
Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take a wife from there. He also saw that Isaac had blessed him and given him a command, saying, “You must not take a wife from the women of Canaan.”
7 याकूबले आफ्ना बाबुआमाको आज्ञा मानेर पद्दन-आरामतर्फ गएको पनि एसावले देखे ।
Esau also saw that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother, and had gone to Paddan Aram.
8 कनानी स्त्रीहरू आफ्ना बुबालाई मनपर्दैन रहेछ भन्ने एसावले थाहा पाए ।
Esau saw that the women of Canaan did not please Isaac his father.
9 तब एसाव इश्माएलकहाँ गए, र उनका आफ्ना पत्नीहरूबाहेक अब्राहामका छोरा इश्माएलकी छोरी र नबायोतकी बहिनी महलतलाई आफ्नी पत्नीको रूपमा ल्याए ।
So he went to Ishmael, and took, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
10 याकूब बेर्शेबा छोडेर हारानतिर लागे ।
Jacob left Beersheba and went toward Haran.
11 कुनै एउटा ठाउँमा पुगेपछि सूर्य अस्ताएको हुनाले तिनी त्यस रात त्यहीँ बास बसे । त्यस ठाउँमा भएका ढुङ्गाहरूमध्येबाट एउटा लिएर आफ्नो सिरान बनाई त्यही ठाउँमा सुत्नलाई पल्टे ।
He came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones in that place, put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
12 तिनले पृथ्वीमा खडा गरिएको एउटा भर्याङको सपना देखे । त्यसको टुप्पाचाहिँ आकाशसम्मै पुगेको रहेछ र परमेश्वरका दूतहरू त्यसमा उक्लने र ओर्लने गर्दा रहेछन् ।
He dreamed and saw a stairway set up on the earth. Its top reached to heaven and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
13 परमप्रभुले त्यसमाथि उभिएर याकूबलाई भन्नुभयो, “म परमप्रभु, तेरा पिता अब्राहामका परमेश्वर र इसहाकका परमेश्वर हुँ । जुन भूमिमा तँ ढल्किरहेको छस् त्यो म तँलाई र तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई दिनेछु ।
Behold, Yahweh stood above it and said, “I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. The land on which you are lying, I will give to you and to your descendants.
14 तेरा सन्तान पृथ्वीको धुलोसरह हुनेछन् । तँ पश्चिम, पूर्व, उत्तर र दक्षिणतिर फैलिएर जानेछस् । तँ र तेरा सन्तानहरूद्वारा नै पृथ्वीका सबै मानिसहरू आशिषित्् हुनेछन् ।
Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread far out to the west, to the east, to the north, and to the south. Through you and through your descendants will all the families of the earth be blessed.
15 हेर्, म तँसँग छु र तँ जहाँसुकै गए तापनि म तेरो रक्षा गर्नेछु । म फेरि तँलाई यस ठाउँमा फर्काएर ल्याउनेछु । किनकि मैले तँलाई प्रतिज्ञा गरेका कुरा पुरा नगरुञ्जेल म तँलाई छोड्नेछैनँ ।”
Behold, I am with you, and I will keep you wherever you go. I will bring you into this land again; for I will not leave you. I will do all that I have promised to you.”
16 तब याकूबले निद्राबाट ब्युँझेर भने, “निश्चय नै परमप्रभु यस ठाउँमा हुनुहुँदोरहेछ, र मलाई यो थाहा थिएन ।”
Jacob awoke out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely Yahweh is in this place, and I did not know it.”
17 तिनले डराएर भने, “यो ठाउँ कस्तो भययोग्य रहेछ । यो त परमेश्वरको घरबाहेक अरू केही होइन । यो त स्वर्गको ढोका हो ।”
He was afraid and said, “How terrifying is this place! This is none other than the house of God. This is the gate of heaven.”
18 याकूब बिहान सबेरै उठे, र आफूले सिरान बनाएको ढुङ्गा लिए । त्यसलाई खामोजस्तै गरी खडा गरेर त्यसको टुप्पामा तेल खन्याए ।
Jacob arose early in the morning and took the stone that he had put under his head. He set it up as a pillar and poured oil upon the top of it.
19 तिनले त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ बेथेल राखे । पहिले त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ लूज थियो ।
He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city originally was Luz.
20 तब याकूबले यसो भनेर भाकल गरे, “यदि परमेश्वर मेरो साथमा रहनुभयो, मेरो यात्रामा मलाई रक्षा गर्नुभयो, मलाई खानलाई रोटी र लाउनलाई वस्त्र दिनुभयो
Jacob vowed a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will protect me on this road on which I am walking, and will give me bread to eat, and clothes to wear,
21 भने म कुशलपूर्वक फेरि मेरा बुबाको घरमा फर्कन्छु, अनि परमप्रभु नै मेरा परमेश्वर हुनुहुनेछ ।
so that I return safely to my father's house, then Yahweh will be my God.
22 त्यसपछि मैले खामो बनाएको यो ढुङ्गाचाहिँ पवित्र ढुङ्गा हुनेछ । तपाईंले मलाई दिनुभए जति सबै थोकको दशांश म तपाईंलाई अवश्य चढाउनेछु ।”
Then this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be a sacred stone. From everything that you give me, I will surely give a tenth back to you.”
