उत्पत्ति 31
1 याकूबले लाबानका छोराहरूले यसो भनेका सुने, “हाम्रा पिताका सबै थोक याकूबले लिएका छन्, र हाम्रा पिताका सम्पत्तिबाट नै तिनले यी सबै सम्पत्ति पाएका हुन् ।”
And Jacob heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying, Jacob has taken all that was our father's, and of our father's property has he gotten all this glory.
2 याकूबले लाबानको व्यवहार देखे । याकूबप्रति लाबानको मनसाय परिवर्तन भइसकेको याकूबले देखे ।
And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and behold it was not toward him as before.
3 तब परमप्रभुले याकूबलाई भन्नुभयो, “तेरा पुर्खाहरू र तेरा आफन्तहरूको देशमा फर्केर जा, र म तँसित हुनेछु ।”
And the Lord said to Jacob, Return to the land of your father, and to your family, and I will be with you.
4 याकूबले राहेल र लेआलाई आफ्नो बगालको खेतमा बोलाउन पठाए,
And Jacob sent and called Lea and Rachel to the plain where the flocks were.
5 र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “मप्रतिको तिमीहरूका पिताको मनसाय परिवर्तन भएको म देख्छु, तर मेरा पिताका परमेश्वर मसित हुनुभएको छ ।
And he said to them, I see the face of your father, that it is not toward me as before, but the God of my father was with me.
6 मेरो सारा शक्ति लगाएर मैले तिमीहरूका पिताको सेवा गरेको कुरा त तिमीहरूलाई थाहै छ ।
And you too know that with all my might I have served your father.
7 तिमीहरूका पिताले मलाई ठगेका छन्, र मेरो ज्याला दस पटक बद्लेका छन्, तर परमेश्वरले तिनलाई मेरो हानि गर्न दिनुभएको छैन ।
But your father deceived me, and changed my wages for the ten lambs, yet God gave him not [power] to hurt me.
8 'थोप्ले जनावरहरू तिम्रो ज्याला हुनेछ' भनी तिनले भन्दा सबै बगालले थोप्ले पाठा-पाठी नै जन्माए । 'पेटारेहरू तिम्रो ज्याला हुनेछ' भनी तिनले भन्दा सारा बगालले पेटारे पाठा-पाठीहरू नै जन्माए ।
If he should say thus, The speckled shall be your reward, then all the cattle would bear speckled; and if he should say, The white shall be your reward, then would all the cattle bear white.
9 यसरी परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूका पिताका गाईबस्तु मलाई दिनुभएको छ ।
So God has taken away all the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
10 एक पटक बगाल मिसिने समयमा मैले सपनामा बोकाहरू बगालमा सँगसँगै भएको देखेँ । बोकाहरू छिर्केमिर्के, पेटारे र थोप्ले थिए ।
And it came to pass when the cattle conceived and were with young, that I saw with mine eyes in sleep, and behold the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the she-goats, speckled and variegated and spotted with ash-colored spots.
11 सपनामा परमेश्वरका दूतले मलाई भने, 'हे याकूब!' मैले जवाफ दिएँ, “हजुर, म यहाँ छु ।'
And the angel of God said to me in a dream, Jacob; and I said, What is it?
12 उहाँले भन्नुभयो, 'तेरा आँखा उठाएर सबै बोका बगालमाथि चढिरहेको हेर् । तिनीहरू छिर्केमिर्के, पेटारे र थोप्ले छन् किनकि लाबानले तँलाई गरेको हरेक कुरा मैले देखेको छु ।
And he said, Look up with your eyes, and behold the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the she-goats, speckled and variegated and spotted with ash-colored spots; for I have seen all things that Laban does to you.
13 म बेथेलको परमेश्वर हुँ जहाँ तैँले खामोलाई अभिषेक गरिस् र मसित भाकल गरिस् । अब उठ् र यस देश छाडेर तेरो जन्मभूमिमा फर्कि' ।”
I am God that appeared to you in the place of God where you anointed a pillar to me, and vowed to me there a vow; now then arise and depart out of this land, depart into the land of your nativity, and I will be with you.
14 राहेल र लेआले तिनलाई जवाफ दिएर भने, “के हाम्रा पिताको घरमा हाम्रा निम्ति हकको कुनै भाग छ र? के उहाँले हामीलाई विदेशीहरूलाई जस्तै व्यवहार गर्नुभएको छैन र?
And Rachel and Lea answered and said to him, Have we yet a part or inheritance in the house of our father?
15 किनकि उहाँले हामीलाई बेच्नुभएको छ, र हाम्रो रुपियाँ-पैसा पूर्ण रूपमा सखाप पार्नुभएको छ ।
Are we not considered strangers by him? for he has sold us, and quite devoured our money.
16 हाम्रा पिताबाट परमेश्वरले लैजानुभएका सबै सम्पत्ति अब हाम्रा र हाम्रा छोराछोरीहरूका भएका छन् । त्यसो भए, अब परमेश्वरले तपाईंलाई जे भन्नुभएको छ, सो गर्नुहोस् ।”
All the wealth and the glory which God has taken from our father, it shall be our's and our children's; now then do whatever God has said to you.
17 त्यसपछि याकूब उठे, र तिनले आफ्ना छोराहरू र पत्नीहरूलाई ऊँटहरूमाथि राखे ।
And Jacob arose and took his wives and his children up on the camels;
18 तिनले पद्दन-आराममा आफूले प्राप्त गरेका आफ्ना सबै गाईबस्तु र सबै सम्पत्तिलाई आफ्नो अगिअगि पठाए । त्यसपछि तिनी कनान देशमा आफ्ना पिता इसहाककहाँ जान निस्के ।
and he took away all his possessions and all his store, which he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and all that belonged to him, to depart to Isaac his father in the land of Chanaan.
19 लाबान आफ्ना भेडाहरूको ऊन कत्रन जाँदा राहेलले आफ्ना पिताका घर-देवताहरू चोरिन् ।
And Laban went to shear his sheep; and Rachel stole her father's images.
20 अरामी लाबानलाई थाहा नदिई घर छाडेकाले याकूबले तिनलाई पनि छल गरे ।
And Jacob hid [the matter from] Laban the Syrian, so as not to tell him that he ran away.
21 आफूसित भएका सबै थोक लिएर तिनी भागे, र छिट्टै महानदी पार गरेर गिलादको पहाडी देशतर्फ अगाडि बढे ।
And he departed himself and all that belonged to him, and passed over the river, and went into the mountain Galaad.
22 याकूब भागेको कुरा लाबानलाई तेस्रो दिनमा बताइयो ।
But it was told Laban the Syrian on the third day, that Jacob was fled.
23 त्यसैले तिनले आफूसित आफ्ना आफन्तहरू लिई सात दिनसम्म तिनको पिछा गरे । लाबानले गिलादको पहाडी देशमा तिनलाई भेट्टाए ।
And having taken his brethren with him, he pursued after him seven days' journey, and overtook him on Mount Galaad.
24 राती सपनामा परमेश्वर अरामी लाबानकहाँ देखा पर्नुभई तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तैँले याकूबसित असल वा खराब कुनै कुरो नभन्न होसियार हो ।”
And God came to Laban the Syrian in sleep by night, and said to him, Take heed to yourself that you speak not at any time to Jacob evil things.
25 लाबानले याकूबलाई भेट्टाउँदा याकूब त्यस पहाडी देशमा पाल टाँगेर बसेका थिए । गिलादको पहाडी देशमा लाबान पनि आफ्ना आफन्तहरूसँगै पाल टाँगेर बसे ।
And Laban overtook Jacob; and Jacob pitched his tent in the mountain; and Laban stationed his brothers in the mount Galaad.
26 लाबानले याकूबलाई भने, “तिमीले मेरा छोरीहरूलाई युद्धका कैदीहरूलाई जस्तै गरी लगेर मलाई छल गरी यो के गरेको?
And Laban said to Jacob, What have you done? therefore did you run away secretly, and pillage me, and lead away my daughters as captives taken with the sword?
27 किन तिमीले मलाई नबताईकन सुटुक्क भागेर धोका दियौ? गीत गाउँदै वीणा र खैँजडी बजाउँदै उत्सवको साथमा मैले तिमीलाई बिदा गर्ने थिएँ ।
Whereas if you had told me, I would have sent you away with mirth, and with songs, and timbrels, and harp.
28 तिमीले मेरा नातिहरू र छोरीहरूलाई बिदाइको चुम्बन गर्ने अनुमति पनि दिएनौ । तिमीले मूर्खतापूर्वक काम गर्यौ ।
And I was not counted worthy to embrace my children and my daughters; now then you have wrought foolishly.
29 तिमीलाई हानि गर्ने शक्ति मसित छ, तर तिम्रा परमेश्वर गत रात मसित यसो भन्दै बोल्नुभयो, 'तैँले याकूबसित असल वा खराब कुनै कुरो नभन्न होसियार हो ।'
And now my hand has power to hurt you; but the God of your father spoke to me yesterday, saying, Take heed to yourself that you speak not evil words to Jacob.
30 अब तिमीले आफ्ना पिताको घरमा फर्कने चाहना गरेकाले तिमी आइसकेका छौ । तर तिमीले मेरा घर-देवताहरू किन चोरी गर्यौ?
Now then go on your way, for you have earnestly desired to depart to the house of your father; therefore have you stolen my gods?
31 याकूबले लाबानलाई जवाफ दिई भने, “तपाईंले आफ्ना छोरीहरू मबाट जबरजस्ती खोसेर लैजानुहुने थियो भनी मैले ठानेकाले म डराएको थिएँ । त्यसैले म सुटुक्क भागेँ ।
And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid; for I said, Lest at any time you should take away your daughters from me, and all my possessions.
32 तपाईंका घर-देवताहरू जोसुकैले चोरेको भए तापनि अबदेखि त्यो बाँच्नेछैन । हाम्रा आफन्तहरूको उपस्थितिमा तपाईंसित भएको कुनै थोक मसित छ भने चिनेर लैजानुहोस् ।” राहेलले ती चोरेकी थिइन् भनी याकूबलाई थाहा थिएन ।
And Jacob said, With whoever you shall find your gods, he shall not live in the presence of our brethren; take notice of what I have of your property, and take it; and he observed nothing with him, but Jacob knew not that his wife Rachel had stolen them.
33 लाबान याकूब र लेआको पालसाथै दुई जना कमारीका पालभित्र गए, तर तिनले ती घर-देवताहरू पाएनन् । तिनी लेआको पालबाट बाहिर आई राहेलको पालभित्र पसे ।
And Laban went in and searched in the house of Lea, and found [them] not; and he went out of the house of Lea, and searched in the house of Jacob, and in the house of the two maidservants, and found them not; and he went also into the house of Rachel.
34 राहेलले ती घर-देवताहरू ल्याएकी थिइन् र तिनलाई ऊँटको काठीमा लुकाएकी थिइन् । उनी तीमाथि बसेकी थिइन् । लाबानले पुरै पालमा खोजी गरे तापनि ती पाएनन् ।
And Rachel took the idols, and cast them among the camel's packs, and sat upon them.
35 उनले आफ्ना पितालाई भनिन्, “हजुर मसित नरिसाउनुहोला । म महिनावरी भएकीले म तपाईंको सामु उठ्न सक्दिनँ ।” त्यसैले तिनले खोजी गरे तापनि ती घर-देवताहरू भेट्टाएनन् ।
And she said to her father, Be not indignant, Sir; I can’t rise up before you, for it is with me according to the manner of women. Laban searched in all the house, and found not the images.
36 याकूब रिसाए र तिनले लाबानलाई हप्काए, “मेरो दोष के हो? मेरो पाप के हो जसको लागि तपाईंले मेरो यसरी पिछा गर्नुभयो?
And Jacob was angry, and strove with Laban; and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my injustice, and what my sin, that you have pursued after me,
37 तपाईंले मेरा सबै मालसामानको खोजी गरिसक्नुभयो । के तपाईंले कुनै आफ्ना घरेलु सामानहरू फेला पार्नुभयो? पाउनुभएको छ भने ती हाम्रा आफन्तहरूको सामु राखिदिनुहोस् ताकि तिनीहरूले हामी दुईको बिचमा न्याय गरून् ।
and that you have searched all the furniture of my house? what have you found of all the furniture of your house? set it here between your relations and my relations, and let them decide between us two.
38 बिस वर्षसम्म म तपाईंसँगै थिएँ । तपाईंका भेडीहरू र बाख्रीहरूका गर्भ कहिल्यै तुहिएन, न त मैले तपाईंका बगालबाट भेडाहरू खाएँ ।
These twenty years have I been with you; your sheep, and your she-goats have not failed in bearing; I devoured not the rams of your cattle.
39 जङ्गली जनावरहरूले फहराएकाहरूलाई मैले तपाईंकहाँ ल्याउन्नथेँ । बरु, मैले त्यसको क्षतिपूर्ति तिर्थें । दिनमा चोरी भएर होस् वा रातमा चोरी भएर होस्, तपाईंले मलाई सधैँ हराएको हरेक पशुको मोल तिराउनुभयो ।
That which was taken of beasts I brought not to you; I made good of myself the thefts of the day, and the thefts of the night.
40 मेरो हालत यस्तो थियो, कि दिउँसो गर्मीले मलाई पोल्थ्यो भने राती चिसोले ठिर्याउँथ्यो । मलाई निद्रा लाग्दैनथ्यो ।
I was parched with heat by day, and [chilled] with frost by night, and my sleep departed from my eyes.
41 यी बिस वर्ष म तपाईंको घरमा रहेँ । तपाईंका दुई छोरीका लागि मैले चौध वर्ष तपाईंको सेवा गरेँ, र बगालको लागि छ वर्ष सेवा गरेँ । तपाईंले दस पटक मेरो ज्याला बद्लनुभएको छ ।
These twenty years have I been in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years among your sheep, and you did falsely rate my wages for ten lambs.
42 मेरा पिताका परमेश्वर जो अब्राहामका परमेश्वर र इसहाकका भय हुनुहुन्छ, उहाँ मसित नहुनुभएको भए निश्चय नै तपाईंले मलाई रित्तै हात पठाउनुहुने थियो । परमेश्वरले ममाथिको थिचोमिचो र मैले गरेको कडा परिश्रम देख्नुभएको छ । त्यसैले उहाँले गत रात तपाईंलाई हप्काउनुभयो ।”
Unless I had the God of my father Abraam, and the fear of Isaac, now you would have sent me away empty; God saw my humiliation, and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you yesterday.
43 लाबानले याकूबलाई जवाफ दिई भने, “यी छोरीहरू मेरै छोरीहरू हुन्; यी नातिनातिनाहरू मेरै नातिनातिनाहरू हुन् र यी बगालहरू मेरै बगालहरू हुन् । तिमीले देखेका यी सबै मेरै हुन् । तर आज यी मेरा छोरीहरू र तिनीहरूले जन्माएका छोराछोरीहरूलाई म के नै गर्न सक्छु र?
And Laban answered and said to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the cattle are my cattle, and all things which you see are mine, and [the property] of my daughters; what shall I do to them today, or their children which they bore?
44 त्यसैले अब तिमी र मेरो बिचमा एउटा करार बाँधौँ अनि यही करार तिमी र मेरो बिचको गवाही होस् ।”
Now then come, let me make a covenant, both I and you, and it shall be for a witness between me and you; and he said to him, Behold, there is no one with us; behold, God is witness between me and you.
45 त्यसकारण याकूबले एउटा ढुङ्गो लिएर त्यसलाई खामोको रूपमा खडा गरे ।
And Jacob having taken a stone, set it up for a pillar.
46 याकूबले आफ्ना आफन्तहरूलाई भने, “ढुङ्गाहरू जम्मा गर ।” तिनीहरूले ढुङ्गाहरूको थुप्रो लगाए । त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले त्यही थुप्रोनेर खानपान गरे ।
And Jacob said to his brethren, Gather stones; and they gathered stones and made a heap, and ate there upon the heap; and Laban said to him, This heap witnesses between me and you today.
47 लाबानले त्यसको नाउँ यगर-सहदूता राखे, तर याकूबले त्यसलाई गलेद भने ।
And Laban called it, the Heap of Testimony; and Jacob called it, the Witness Heap.
48 लाबानले भने, “आज यो थुप्रो तिमी र मेरो बिचमा गवाहीको रूपमा खडा छ । त्यसकारण यसको नाउँ गलेद राखियो ।
And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and the pillar, which I have set between me and you; this heap witnesses, and this pillar witnesses; therefore its name was called, the Heap witnesses.
49 यसलाई मिस्पा पनि भनिन्छ किनभने लाबानले यसो भनेका थिए, “हामी एक-अर्काको दृष्टिबाट अलग हुँदा परमप्रभुले तिमी र मेरो हेरचाह गरून् ।
And the vision of which he said—Let God look to it between me and you, because we are about to depart from each other, —
50 तिमीले मेरा छोरीहरूलाई दुर्व्यवहार गर्यौ वा तिमीले मेरा छोरीहरूबाहेक अन्य पत्नीहरू ल्यायौ भने हामीसित कोही नभए तापनि परमेश्वर तिम्रो र मेरो बिचमा गवाही हुनुहुन्छ ।”
If you shall humble my daughters, if you should take wives in addition to my daughters, see, there is no one with us looking on. God [is] witness between me and you.
51 लाबानले याकूबलाई भने, “तिम्रो र मेरो बिचमा मैले खडा गरेको यो थुप्रो र यो खामोलाई हेर ।
And Laban said to Jacob, Behold, this heap, and this pillar are a witness.
52 तिम्रो हानि गर्नलाई म यो पार गरेर तिमीकहाँ आउनेछैनँ र मेरो हानि गर्नलाई तिमी यो पार गरेर मकहाँ आउनेछैनौ भन्नाका लागि यो थुप्रो र यो खामो गवाहीको रूपमा खडा छन् ।
For if I should not cross over to you, neither should you cross over to me, for mischief beyond this heap and this pillar.
53 अब्राहामका परमेश्वर, नाहोरका परमेश्वर र तिनीहरूका पिताका परमेश्वरले हाम्रो बिचमा न्याय गरून् । याकूबले आफ्ना पिता इसहाकको भयलाई साक्षी मानी शपथ खाए ।
The God of Abraam and the God of Nachor judge between us; and Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.
54 याकूबले त्यस पहाडमा बलिदान चढाए र आफ्ना आफन्तहरूलाई खानपानको लागि बोलाए । तिनीहरूले खानपान गरे, अनि पुरै रात त्यही पहाडमा बिताए ।
And he offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his brethren, and they ate and drank, and slept in the mountain.
55 लाबान बिहान सबेरै उठे । तिनले आफ्ना नातिहरू, आफ्ना छोरीहरूलाई चुम्बन गरी आशिष् दिए । त्यसपछि लाबान बिदा भई घर फर्के ।
And Laban rose up in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them; and Laban having turned back, departed to his place.
