< उत्पत्ति 30 >
1 आफूले याकूबबाट कुनै सन्तान नजन्माएको देखेर राहेलले आफ्नी दिदीको डाह गरिन् । उनले याकूबलाई भनिन्, “मलाई सन्तान दिनुहोस्, नत्रभने म मर्नेछु ।”
When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I will die.”
2 राहेलमाथि याकूबको क्रोध दन्कियो । तिनले भने, “के तिमीलाई सन्तान दिनबाट रोक्नु हुने म परमेश्वरको स्थानमा छु र?
Jacob's anger burned against Rachel. He said, “Am I in the place of God, who has kept you from having children?”
3 उनले भनिन्, “हेर्नुहोस्, मेरी कमारी बिल्हा यहीँ छे । त्योसित सहवास गर्नुहोस् ताकि त्यसले मेरो निम्ति सन्तान जन्माउन सकोस्, र त्यसद्वारा मसित सन्तान हुनेछ ।”
She said, “See, there is my servant Bilhah. Sleep with her, so she might give birth to children on my knees, and I will have children by her.”
4 त्यसैले उनले आफ्नी कमारी बिल्हा याकूबकी पत्नी हुनलाई दिइन्, र याकूब त्यससित सुते ।
So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob slept with her.
5 बिल्हा गर्भवती भई र त्यसले याकूबको निम्ति एउटा छोरो जन्माई ।
Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son.
6 त्यसपछि राहेलले भनिन्, “परमेश्वरले मेरो पक्षमा न्याय गर्नुभएको छ । उहाँले मेरो प्रार्थना सुन्नुभई मलाई एउटा छोरो दिनुभएको छ ।” त्यसैले उनले त्यसको नाउँ दान राखिन् ।
Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me, and he has heard my voice and given me a son.” For this reason she called his name Dan.
7 राहेलकी कमारी बिल्हा फेरि गर्भवती भई र त्यसले याकूबको निम्ति दोस्रो छोरो जन्माई ।
Bilhah, Rachel's servant, conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.
8 राहेलले भनिन्, “निकै सङ्घर्ष गरेर मैले मेरी दिदीमाथि जित हासिल गरेको छु ।” उनले त्यसको नाउँ नप्ताली राखिन् ।
Rachel said, “With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister and have prevailed.” She called his name Naphtali.
9 आफूले बच्ची जन्माउन छोडेकी देखेर उनले आफ्नी कमारी जिल्पा याकूबकी पत्नी हुनलाई दिइन् ।
When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she took Zilpah, her servant, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
10 लेआकी कमारी जिल्पाले याकूबको निम्ति एउटा छोरो जन्माई ।
Zilpah, Leah's servant, bore Jacob a son.
11 लेआले भनिन्, “भाग्यमानी!” त्यसैले उनले त्यसको नाउँ गाद राखिन् ।
Leah said, “This is fortunate!” so she called his name Gad.
12 त्यसपछि लेआकी कमारी जिल्पाले दोस्रो छोरो जन्माई ।
Then Zilpah, Leah's servant, bore Jacob a second son.
13 लेआले भनिन्, “म सुखी छु । किनकि स्त्रीहरूले मलाई सुखी भन्ने छन् ।” त्यसैले उनले त्यसको नाउँ आशेर राखिन् ।
Leah said, “I am happy! For the daughters will call me happy.” So she called his name Asher.
14 गहुँ कटनी गर्ने समयमा रूबेन खेतमा गए, र तिनले विशाखमूलहरू भेट्टाएर ती आफ्नी आमा लेआकहाँ लिएर आए । त्यसपछि राहेलले लेआलाई भनिन्, “तिम्रो छोराका केही विशाखमूलहरू मलाई देऊ ।”
Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest and found mandrakes in the field. He brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Give me some of your son's mandrakes.”
15 लेआले उनलाई भनिन्, “के तिमीले मेरा पति मबाट लैजानु सामान्य विषय हो र? अब तिमी मेरो छोराका विशाखमूलहरू पनि लिन चाहन्छ्यौ? राहेलले भनिन्, “त्यसो भए, तिम्रो छोराका विशाखमूलहरूको सट्टामा आज राति तिनी तिमीसितै सुत्नेछन् ।”
Leah said to her, “Is it a small matter to you, that you have taken away my husband? Do you now want to take away my son's mandrakes, too?” Rachel said, “Then he will sleep with you tonight, in exchange for your son's mandrakes.”
16 साँझमा याकूब खेतबाट आए । लेआ तिनलाई भेट्न गइन् र भनिन्, “आज राती तपाईं मसित सुत्नुपर्छ किनकि मैले तपाईंलाई मेरो छोराका विशाखमूलहरू दिएर भाडामा लिएको छु ।” त्यसैले त्यस रात याकूब उनीसित सुते ।
Jacob came from the field in the evening. Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must sleep with me tonight, for I have hired you with my son's mandrakes.” So Jacob slept with Leah that night.
17 परमेश्वरले लेआको पुकारा सुन्नुभयो, र उनी गर्भवती भएर याकूबको निम्ति पाँचौँ छोरो जन्माइन् ।
God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son.
18 लेआले भनिन्, “परमेश्वरले मेरो ज्याला दिनुभएको छ किनभने मैले मेरी कमारी मेरा पतिलाई दिएँ ।” उनले त्यसको नाउँ इस्साखार राखिन् ।
Leah said, “God has given me my wages, because I gave my servant woman to my husband.” She called his name Issachar.
19 लेआ फेरि गर्भवती भइन् र उनले याकूबको निम्ति छैटौँ छोरो जन्माइन् ।
Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
20 लेआले भनिन्, “परमेश्वरले मलाई अनमोल उपहार दिनुभएको छ । अब मेरा पतिले मलाई इज्जत गर्नुहुनेछ किनभने मैले उहाँका निम्ति छवटा छोरा जन्माएँ ।” उनले त्यसको नाउँ जबूलून राखिन् ।
Leah said, “God has given me a good gift. Now my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” She called his name Zebulun.
21 त्यसपछि उनले एउटी छोरी जन्माइन् र त्यसको नाउँ दीना राखिन् ।
Afterwards she bore a daughter and called her name Dinah.
22 परमेश्वरले राहेललाई याद गर्नुभयो र उनको पुकारा सुन्नुभयो । उहाँले उनको गर्भ खोलिदिनुभयो ।
God called Rachel to mind and listened to her. He caused her to become pregnant.
23 उनी गर्भवती भइन् र एउटा छोरो जन्माइन् । उनले भनिन्, “परमेश्वरले मेरो लाज हटाइदिनुभएको छ ।”
She conceived and bore a son. She said, “God has taken away my shame.”
24 उनले यसो भन्दै त्यसको नाउँ योसेफ राखिन्, “परमप्रभुले मलाई अर्को छोरो दिनुभएको छ ।”
She called his name Joseph, saying, “Yahweh has added to me another son.”
25 राहेलले योसेफलाई जन्माएपछि याकूबले लाबानलाई भने, “मलाई बिदा दिनुहोस्, ताकि म मेरो आफ्नै घर र मेरो देशमा जान सकूँ ।
After Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, so that I may go to my own home and to my country.
26 मलाई मेरा पत्नीहरू र मेरा छोराछोरीहरू दिनुहोस् जसको निम्ति मैले तपाईंको सेवा गरेको छु । मलाई जान दिनुहोस् किनकि मैले तपाईंको सेवा गरेको त तपाईंलाई थाहै छ ।”
Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go, for you know the service I have given you.”
27 लाबानले तिनलाई भने, “मैले तिम्रो दृष्टिमा निगाह पाएको छु भने पर्ख, किनभने पूर्वलक्षणको प्रयोगद्वारा मैले थाहा पाएको छु, कि तिम्रो कारणले गर्दा परमप्रभुले मलाई आशिष् दिनुभएको छ ।
Laban said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, wait, because I have learned by using divination that Yahweh has blessed me for your sake.”
28 त्यसपछि तिनले भने, “तिम्रो ज्याला कति भयो, मलाई भन । म तिरिदिनेछु ।”
Then he said, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”
29 याकूबले लाबानलाई भने, “मैले तपाईंको कस्तो सेवा गरेको छु र तपाईंका गाईबस्तु कसरी सप्रेका छन् भनी तपाईं जान्नुहुन्छ ।
Jacob said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me.
30 म आउनुअगि तपाईंसित थोरै मात्र थियो तर अहिले प्रचुर मात्रामा वृद्धि भएका छन् । मैले जहाँसुकै काम गरे तापनि परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई आशिष् दिनुभएको छ । अब मेरो आफ्नै घरानाको निम्तिचाहिँ मैले कहिले बन्दोवस्त गर्ने?”
For you had little before I came, and it has increased abundantly. Yahweh has blessed you wherever I worked. Now when will I provide for my own household also?”
31 त्यसैले लाबानले भने, “म तिमीलाई के दिऊँ?” याकूबले भने, “तपाईंले मलाई केही पनि दिनुपर्दैन । तपाईंले मलाई केही दिनुभयो भने मैले फेरि तपाईंको बगाललाई खुवाउनुपर्ने हुन्छ र यसको हेरचाह गर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ ।
So Laban said, “What will I pay you?” Jacob said, “You will not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.
32 आज मलाई तपाईंको बगालबाट थुमाहरूका बिचमा हरेक थोप्ले, हरेक पेटारे र हरेक कालो अनि बाख्राहरूका बिचमा पनि हरेक थोप्ले र पेटारे छुट्ट्याउन दिनुहोस् । यी मेरा ज्याला हुनेछन् ।
Let me walk through all your flock today, removing from it every speckled and spotted sheep, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. These will be my wages.
33 तपाईं मेरा ज्यालाको हिसाब गर्न आउनुहुँदा पछि मेरो सत्यनिष्ठाले नै मेरो गवाही दिनेछ । बाख्राहरूका बिचमा थोप्ले र पेटारे नभएको अनि थुमाहरूका बिचमा कालो नभएको मध्ये कुनै फेला पारियो भने ती मैले चोरेको ठहरिनेछ ।”
My integrity will testify for me later on, when you come to check on my wages. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, if any are found with me, will be considered to be stolen.”
34 लाबानले भने, “हुन्छ । तिम्रो वचनअनुसार नै होस् ।”
Laban said, “Agreed. Let it be according to your word.”
35 त्यस दिन लाबानले थोप्ले र पेटारे बाख्राहरू अनि सेतो दाग भएका सबै थोप्ले र पेटारे बाख्रीहरू अनि थुमाहरूका बिचमा भएका सबै काला थुमाहरू छुट्ट्याए र ती आफ्ना छोराहरूलाई दिए ।
That day Laban removed the male goats that were striped and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
36 लाबानले तिनी र याकूबको बिचमा तिन दिनको यात्राको अन्तर पनि राखे । त्यसैले याकूबले लाबानका बाँकी बगालहरू चराइरहे ।
Laban also put three days' journey between himself and Jacob. So Jacob kept tending the rest of Laban's flocks.
37 याकूबले ताजा लहरे-पीपल, हाडे बदाम र चिनारका रुखका भर्खरै काटिएका हाँगाहरू लिए, र तिनमा सेतो धर्का बनाउनलाई बोक्राहरू ताछे ।
Jacob took fresh cut branches of fresh poplar, and of the almond and of the plane tree, and peeled white streaks in them, and made the white inner wood appear that was in the sticks.
38 त्यसपछि तिनले बगालहरूको सामु रहेका ती ताछिएका हाँगाहरू पानी पिउन आउने डूँडको सामु राखे । पानी पिउन आउँदा तिनीहरू गर्भवती भए ।
Then he set the sticks that he had peeled in front of the flocks, in front of the watering troughs where they came to drink. They conceived when they came to drink.
39 ती बगालहरू हाँगाहरूका सामुन्ने मिसिने भएकाले तिनीहरूले पाठापाठी पनि त्यस्तै छिर्केमिर्के, पेटारे र थोप्ले ब्याए ।
The flocks bred in front of the sticks; and the flocks produced striped, speckled, and spotted young.
40 याकूबले यी थुमाहरूलाई छुट्ट्याए, तर बाँकी बगाललाई चाहिँ छिर्केमिर्के जनावरहरूतिर फर्काएर राखे अनि सबै काला थुमालाई चाहिँ लाबानको बगालमा राखिदिए । त्यसपछि तिनले आफ्नो बगाललाई चाहिँ अलग गरे र लाबानको बगालसित मिसाएनन् ।
Jacob separated out these lambs, but made the rest of them face toward the striped animals and all the black sheep in the flock of Laban. Then he separated out his flocks for himself alone and did not put them together with Laban's flocks.
41 बलिया भेडाहरू मिसिँदा याकूबले बगालहरूका सामुन्ने डूँडमा ती हाँगाहरू राखिदिन्थे ताकि तिनीहरू हाँगाहरूकै बिचमा गर्भवती होऊन् ।
Whenever the stronger sheep in the flock were breeding, then Jacob would lay the sticks in the watering troughs before the eyes of the flock, so that they might conceive among the sticks.
42 तर बगालमा भएका कमजोर जनावरहरू आउँदा तिनले तिनीहरूको सामु हाँगाहरू राख्दैनथ्ये । यसरी कमजोर जनावरहरू लाबानका भए र बलियाहरू याकूबका भए ।
But when the feebler animals in the flock came, he did not put the sticks in front of them. So the feebler animals were Laban's, and the stronger were Jacob's.
43 याकूबले ज्यादै उन्नति गरे । तिनका ठुला-ठुला बगालहरू, नोकर-चाकरहरू ऊँटहरू र गधाहरू थिए ।
The man became very prosperous. He had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
