उत्पत्ति 29
1 तब याकूब आफ्नो बाटो लागे र पूर्वका मानिसहरूको देशमा पुगे ।
And Jacob lifts up his feet, and goes toward the land of the sons of the east;
2 तिनले हेर्दा मैदानमा एउटा इनार देखे, र त्यसको नजिक भेडाका तिनवटा बगाल बसिरहेका थिए । किनकि त्यही इनारबाट तिनीहरूले बगाललाई पानी खुवाउँथे, र इनारको मुख ढाक्ने ढुङ्गा ठुलो थियो ।
and he looks, and behold, a well in the field, and behold, there [are] three droves of a flock crouching by it, for they water the droves from that well, and the great stone [is] on the mouth of the well.
3 सबै बगालहरू त्यहाँ जम्मा भएपछि गोठालाहरूले इनारको मुखबाट ढुङ्गा गुडाएर भेडाहरूलाई पानी खान दिन्थे । त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले त्यो ढुङ्गालाई इनारको मुखमा फेरि पहिलेकै ठाउँमा राखिदिन्थे ।
(When all the droves have been gathered there, and they have rolled the stone from off the mouth of the well, and have watered the flock, then they have turned back the stone on the mouth of the well to its place.)
4 याकूबले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “हे मेरा भाइ हो, तिमीहरू कहाँका हौ?” तिनीहरूले भने, “हामी हारानका हौँ ।”
And Jacob says to them, “My brothers, where [are] you from?” And they say, “We [are] from Haran.”
5 उनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरू नाहोरका छोरो लाबानलाई चिन्छौ?” तिनीहरूले भने, “हामी तिनलाई चिन्छौँ ।”
And he says to them, “Have you known Laban, son of Nahor?” And they say, “We have known.”
6 उनले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे, “के उहाँ सन्चै हुनुहुन्छ?” तिनीहरूले भने, “उहाँ सन्चै हुनुहुन्छ, र हेर्नुहोस्, उहाँकी छोरी राहेल भेडाहरू लिएर आउँदै छिन् ।”
And he says to them, “Does he have peace?” And they say, “Peace; and behold, his daughter Rachel is coming with the flock.”
7 याकूबले भने, “हेर, मध्य दिन भएको छ । भेडा-बाख्राहरूलाई जम्मा गर्ने बेला भएको छैन । भेडाहरूलाई पानी खुवाएर जाओ र तिनीहरूलाई चर्न देओ ।
And he says, “Behold, the day [is] still great, [it is] not time for the livestock to be gathered; water the flock, and go, delight yourselves.”
8 तिनीहरूले भने, “सबै बगालहरू जम्मा नभई हामी तिनीहरूलाई पानी खुवाउन सक्दैनौँ । त्यसपछि यी मानिसहरूले इनारको मुखको ढुङ्गो हटाउनेछन्, अनि हामी भेडाहरूलाई पानी खुवाउनेछौँ ।”
And they say, “We are not able, until all the droves be gathered together, and they have rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and we have watered the flock.”
9 याकूब तिनीहरूसँग कुरा गरिरहेकै बेला, राहेल आफ्ना बुबाका भेडाहरू लिएर त्यहाँ आइपुगिन्, किनकि तिनले भेडाहरू चराउँदै थिइन् ।
He is yet speaking with them, and Rachel has come with the flock which her father has, for she [is] shepherdess;
10 जब याकूबले आफ्ना मामा लाबानकी छोरी राहेल र लाबानका भेडाहरू देखे, याकूबले नजिक आएर इनारको मुखको ढुङ्गा गुडाए, अनि आफ्ना मामा लाबानका भेडाहरूलाई पानी खुवाए ।
and it comes to pass, when Jacob has seen Rachel, daughter of his mother’s brother Laban, and the flock of his mother’s brother Laban, that Jacob comes near and rolls the stone from off the mouth of the well, and waters the flock of his mother’s brother Laban.
11 तब याकूबले राहेललाई चुम्बन गरे र डाको छोडेर रोए ।
And Jacob kisses Rachel, and lifts up his voice, and weeps,
12 याकूबले राहेललाई आफू तिनका बाबुको नातेदार र रिबेकाको छोरा भएको कुरा बताए । तब राहेल दौडेर गइन् र आफ्ना बाबुलाई यो कुरा बताइन् ।
and Jacob declares to Rachel that he [is] her father’s brother, and that he [is] Rebekah’s son, and she runs and declares [it] to her father.
13 आफ्ना भानिज याकूब आएको समाचार पाउने बित्तिकै लाबान तिनलाई भेट्नलाई दौडेर गएर तिनलाई अँगालो हालेर चुम्बन गरे, अनि तिनलाई आफ्नो घरमा ल्याए । याकूबले लाबानलाई सबै कुरा बताइदिए ।
And it comes to pass, when Laban hears the report of his sister’s son Jacob, that he runs to meet him, and embraces him, and kisses him, and brings him into his house; and he recounts to Laban all these things,
14 लाबानले तिनलाई भने, “वास्तवमा तिमी मेरो हाड र मासु हौ ।” त्यसपछि याकूब तिनीसँग करिब एक महिना बसे ।
and Laban says to him, “You [are] surely my bone and my flesh”; and he dwells with him a month of days.
15 त्यसपछि लाबानले याकूबलाई भने, “मेरा नातेदार हुँदैमा तिमीले सित्तैँमा मेरो सेवा गर्नुपर्छ र? तिम्रो ज्याला कति हो मलाई भन ।”
And Laban says to Jacob, “Is it because you [are] my brother that you have served me for nothing? Declare to me what your hire [is].”
16 लाबानका दुई जना छोरी थिए । जेठीको नाउँ लेआ र कान्छीको नाउँ राहेल थियो ।
And Laban has two daughters, the name of the older [is] Leah, and the name of the younger Rachel,
17 लेआका आँखा धमिला थिए, तर राहेलचाहिँ शारीरिक रूपमा सुडौल र हेर्नमा सुन्दरी थिइन् ।
and the eyes of Leah [are] tender, and Rachel has been beautiful of form and beautiful of appearance.
18 याकूबले राहेललाई प्रेम गरे, त्यसैले तिनले भने, “तपाईंकी कान्छी छोरी राहेलको निम्ति म सात वर्षसम्म तपाईंको सेवा गर्नेछु ।”
And Jacob loves Rachel and says, “I serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter”:
19 लाबानले भने, “त्यसलाई अर्को मानिसलाई दिनुभन्दा त तिमीलाई दिनु नै असल हो । मसँगै बस ।”
and Laban says, “It is better for me to give her to you than to give her to another man; dwell with me”;
20 यसकारण याकूबले राहेलको निम्ति सात वर्षसम्म सेवा गरे । राहेलप्रति तिनको प्रेमको कारण तिनलाई त्यो समय तिनलाई थोरै दिनजस्तो लाग्यो ।
and Jacob serves for Rachel seven years; and they are in his eyes as some days, because of his loving her.
21 त्यसपछि याकूबले लाबानलाई भने, “मैले सेवा गर्ने दिनहरू पुरा भएको हुनाले मलाई मेरी पत्नी दिनुहोस् ताकि म तिनीसँग विवाह गर्न सकूँ ।”
And Jacob says to Laban, “Give up my wife, for my days have been fulfilled, and I go in to her”;
22 तब लाबानले त्यस ठाउँका सबै मानिसहरू जम्मा गरेर भोज दिए ।
and Laban gathers all the men of the place, and makes a banquet.
23 साँझमा उनले आफ्नी छोरी लेआलाई याकूबकहाँ ल्याइदिए, र याकूबले तिनीसँग सहवास गरे ।
And it comes to pass in the evening, that he takes his daughter Leah, and brings her to him, and he goes in to her;
24 लाबानले आफ्नी कमारी जिल्पालाई आफ्नी छोरी लेआकी कमारी हुनलाई दिए ।
and Laban gives his maidservant Zilpah to her, to his daughter Leah, [for] a maidservant.
25 याकूबले बिहान हेर्दा त लेआ पो रहिछन् । तिनले लाबानलाई भने, “तपाईंले मप्रति यो के गर्नुभएको? मैले राहेलको निम्ति सेवा गरेको होइन र? त्यसो भए तपाईंले किन मसित छल गर्नुभयो?”
And it comes to pass in the morning, that behold, it [is] Leah; and he says to Laban, “What [is] this you have done to me? Have I not served with you for Rachel? And why have you deceived me?”
26 लाबानले भने, “जेठीको भन्दा कान्छीको विवाह अगि गर्ने रीति हामीकहाँ छैन ।
And Laban says, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn;
27 यो छोरीसँग एक साता पुरा गर, र अर्को सात वर्ष मेरो सेवाको सट्टामा म तिमीलाई अर्की पनि दिनेछु ।”
fulfill the period of seven [for] this one, and we also give to you this one, for the service which you serve with me yet seven other years.”
28 याकूबले त्यसै गरे, र लेआसँग एक साता पुरा गरे । तब लाबानले आफ्नी छोरी राहेललाई पनि याकूबकी पत्नीको रूपमा दिए ।
And Jacob does so, and fulfills the period of seven [for] this one, and he gives his daughter Rachel to him for a wife for him;
29 लाबानले आफ्नी कमारी बिल्हालाई आफ्नी छोरी राहेलकी कमारी हुनलाई दिए ।
and Laban gives his maidservant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel for a maidservant for her.
30 त्यसैले याकूबले राहेलसँग पनि सहवास गरे, तर तिनले लेआलाई भन्दा राहेललाई बढी प्रेम गर्थे । यसकारण याकूबले थप सात साल लाबानको सेवा गरे ।
And he also goes in to Rachel, and he also loves Rachel more than Leah; and he serves with him yet seven other years.
31 लेआलाई प्रेम नगरिएको परमप्रभुले देख्नुभयो, त्यसैले उहाँले तिनको कोख खोलिदिनुभयो । तर राहेलका सन्तान भएका थिएनन् ।
And YHWH sees that Leah [is] the hated one, and He opens her womb, and Rachel [is] barren;
32 लेआले गर्भवती भएर एक छोरो जन्माइन्, र तिनले यसो भनेर त्यसको नाम रूबेन राखिन् । “साँच्ची नै परमप्रभुले मेरो दु: ख देख्नुभएको छ, अब त मेरा पतिले निश्चय नै मलाई प्रेम गर्नुहुनेछ ।”
and Leah conceives, and bears a son, and calls his name Reuben, for she said, “Because YHWH has looked on my affliction; because now does my husband love me.”
33 तिनी फेरि गर्भवती भइन् र अर्को छोरा जन्माइन् । तिनले भनिन्, “म प्रेमविहीन छु भनी परमेश्वरले सुन्नुभएको हुनाले उहाँले मलाई यो छोरा पनि दिनुभयो,” र तिनले त्यसको नाउँ शिमियोन राखिन् ।
And she conceives again, and bears a son, and says, “Because YHWH has heard that I [am] the hated one, He also gives to me even this [one]”; and she calls his name Simeon.
34 तिनी फेरि गर्भवती भइन् र एक जना छोरो जन्माइन् । तिनले भनिन्, “अब त मेरा पति मप्रति आकर्षित हुनुहुनेछ, किनभने मैले उहाँको निम्ति तिन जना छोरा पाइसकेँ ।” यसकारण त्यसको नाउँ लेवी राखियो ।
And she conceives again and bears a son, and says, “Now [is] the time, my husband is joined to me, because I have born to him three sons,” therefore has [one] called his name Levi.
35 तिनी फेरि गर्भवती भएर छोरो पाइन् र भनिन्, “यस पाली त म परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर्नेछु ।” यसैले त्यसको नाउँ यहूदा राखियो । त्यसपछि तिनले जन्माउन छोडिन् ।
And she conceives again and bears a son, and this time says, “I praise YHWH”; therefore has she called his name Judah; and she ceases from bearing.
