< 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 shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
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. Take a wife from there from 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, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,
4 उहाँले तँलाई र तँ पछिका तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई अब्राहामले पाएको आशिष् देऊन्, ताकि परमेश्वरले अब्राहामलाई दिनुभएको तँ बसेको देशमा तेरै अधिकार होस् ।”
and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your offspring with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham.”
5 यसरी इसहाकले याकूबलाई पठाए । तिनी पद्दन-आराममा एसाव र याकूबकी आमा रिबेकाका दाजु अरामी बतूएलका छोरा लाबानकहाँ गए ।
Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, 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 him a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a command, saying, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;”
7 याकूबले आफ्ना बाबुआमाको आज्ञा मानेर पद्दन-आरामतर्फ गएको पनि एसावले देखे ।
and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan Aram.
8 कनानी स्त्रीहरू आफ्ना बुबालाई मनपर्दैन रहेछ भन्ने एसावले थाहा पाए ।
Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan didn’t 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 Esau went to Ishmael, and took, in addition to 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 went out from 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 of the place, and 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 upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. Behold, 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, the LORD stood above it, and said, “I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. I will give the land you lie on to you and to your offspring.
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 offspring will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. In you and in your offspring, all the families of the earth will 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 will keep you, wherever you go, and will bring you again into this land. For I will not leave you until I have done that which I have spoken of to you.”
16 तब याकूबले निद्राबाट ब्युँझेर भने, “निश्चय नै परमप्रभु यस ठाउँमा हुनुहुँदोरहेछ, र मलाई यो थाहा थिएन ।”
Jacob awakened out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I didn’t 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 awesome this place is! This is none other than God’s house, and 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 rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil on its top.
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 was Luz at the first.
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 keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on,
21 भने म कुशलपूर्वक फेरि मेरा बुबाको घरमा फर्कन्छु, अनि परमप्रभु नै मेरा परमेश्वर हुनुहुनेछ ।
so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and the LORD 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, which I have set up for a pillar, will be God’s house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give a tenth to you.”
