उत्पत्ति 32
1 याकूब पनि आफ्नो बाटो लागे, र परमेश्वरका दूतहरूले तिनीसित भेट गरे ।
And on his way Jacob came face to face with the angels of God.
2 याकूबले तिनीहरूलाई देखेपछि तिनले भने, “यो त परमेश्वरको शिविर हो ।” त्यसैले तिनले त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ महनोम राखे ।
And when he saw them he said, This is the army of God: so he gave that place the name of Mahanaim.
3 याकूबले एदोमको क्षेत्रमा पर्ने सेइर देशमा आफ्ना दाजु एसावकहाँ आफूभन्दा अगिअगि सन्देशवाहकहरू पठाए ।
Now Jacob sent servants before him to Esau, his brother, in the land of Seir, the country of Edom;
4 तिनले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भनी आज्ञा दिए, “तिमीहरूले मेरा मालिक एसावलाई यसो भन्नेछौः तपाईंका दास याकूब यसो भन्छन्, 'म लाबानसित बस्दै आएकोले अहिलेसम्म आउन ढिलो भएको हो ।
And he gave them orders to say these words to Esau: Your servant Jacob says, Till now I have been living with Laban:
5 मेरा गोरुहरू, गधाहरू, बगालहरू, कमारा-कमारीहरू छन् । तपाईंको दृष्टिमा मैले निगाह पाउन सकूँ भनी मैले मेरा मालिकलाई यो खबर पठाएको छु' ।”
And I have oxen and asses and flocks and men-servants and women-servants: and I have sent to give my lord news of these things so that I may have grace in his eyes.
6 याकूबकहाँ फर्की सन्देशवाहकहरूले यसो भने, “हामी तपाईंका दाजु एसावकहाँ गयौँ । उहाँ चार सय जना मानिससहित तपाईंलाई भेट्न आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।”
When the servants came back they said, We have seen your brother Esau and he is coming out to you, and four hundred men with him.
7 तब याकूब ज्यादै भयभीत भए र आत्तिए । त्यसैले तिनले आफूसित भएका मानिसहरू, बगालहरू, बथानहरू र ऊँटहरूलाई दल-दल गरी दुई भागमा विभाजन गरे ।
Then Jacob was in great fear and trouble of mind: and he put all the people and the flocks and the herds and the camels into two groups;
8 तिनले भने, “एसावले आएर एउटा दललाई अाक्रमण गरे भने बाँकी रहेको दल भाग्नेछ ।
And said, If Esau, meeting one group, makes an attack on them, the others will get away safely.
9 याकूबले भने, “मेरा पिता अब्राहामका परमेश्वर, मेरा पिता इसहाकका परमेश्वर यहोवेले मलाई भन्नुभयो, 'तेरो देश र तेरो कुटुम्बकहाँ फर्केर जा, म तेरो उन्नति गराउनेछु ।'
Then Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, the God of my father Isaac, the Lord who said to me, Go back to your country and your family and I will be good to you:
10 तपाईंका दासको निम्ति तपाईंले गर्नुभएका करारको विश्वासयोग्यता र भरोसाका सबै कार्यको निम्ति म योग्यको छैनँ । किनकि यही लौरो लिएर मात्र मैले यर्दन तरेँ, र अहिले मेरा दुईवटा दल छन् ।
I am less than nothing in comparison with all your mercies and your faith to me your servant; for with only my stick in my hand I went across Jordan, and now I have become two armies.
11 कृपया, मलाई मेरा दाजु एसावको हातबाट छुटकारा दिनुहोस् किनकि तिनी आएर मलगायत मेरी पत्नीहरू र छोराछोरीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्छन् कि भनेर म तिनीदेखि डराएको छु ।
Be my saviour from the hand of Esau, my brother: for my fear is that he will make an attack on me, putting to death mother and child.
12 तर तपाईंले भन्नुभयो, 'निश्चय नै, म तेरो उन्नति गराउनेछु । म तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई गन्नै नसकिने गरी समुद्रको बालुवासरह तुल्याउनेछु' ।”
And you said, Truly, I will be good to you, and make your seed like the sand of the sea which may not be numbered.
13 त्यस रात याकूब त्यहीँ बसे । आफ्ना दाजु एसावलाई उपहारस्वरूप दिनलाई तिनले आफूसित भएका केही थोकहरू अलग गरे जुन यिनै थिएः
Then he put up his tent there for the night; and from among his goods he took, as an offering for his brother Esau,
14 दुई सयवटा बाख्री, बिसवटा बोका,
Two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred females and twenty males from the sheep,
15 तिसवटा दुध दिने ऊँट र तिनीहरूका बच्चा, चालिसवटा गाई र दसवटा साँढे, बिसवटा गधैनी र दसवटा गधा ।
Thirty camels with their young ones, forty cows, ten oxen, twenty asses, and ten young asses.
16 तिनले बथान-बथान गरी यी सबै आफ्ना कमाराहरूको जिम्मा लगाइदिए । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “मेरो अगिअगि जाओ र हरेक बथानको बिचमा खाली ठाउँ राख ।”
These he gave to his servants, every herd by itself, and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and let there be a space between one herd and another.
17 तिनले पहिलो कमारोलाई यसो भन्दै निर्देशन दिए, “मेरा दाजु एसावले तँलाई भेटेर 'तँ कसको होस्? तँ कहाँ जाँदै छस्? तेरो अगिअगि आएका यी पशुहरू कसका हुन्? भनेर सोधे भने
And he gave orders to the first, saying, When my brother Esau comes to you and says, Whose servant are you, and where are you going, and whose are these herds?
18 तैँले यसो भन्, 'यी तपाईंका दास याकूबका हुन् । यी मेरा मालिक याकूबलाई उपहारस्वरूप पठाइएका हुन् । हेर्नुहोस्, उहाँ पनि हाम्रो पछिपछि आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ' ।”
Then say to him, These are your servant Jacob's; they are an offering for my lord, for Esau; and he himself is coming after us.
19 दोस्रो दल, तेस्रो दल अनि बगालहरूको पछिपछि लाग्ने सबै मानिसलाई पनि याकूबले निर्देशन दिए । तिनले भने, “तिमीहरूले एसावलाई भेट्दा उही कुरो भन्नू ।
And he gave the same orders to the second and the third and to all those who were with the herds, saying, This is what you are to say to Esau when you see him;
20 तिमीहरूले यसो पनि भन्नू, 'तपाईंका दास याकूब हाम्रो पछिपछि आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ' ।” किनकि तिनले यस्तो सोचे, “मैले मेरो अगिअगि पठाएका उपहारहरूले म तिनलाई खुसी पार्नेछु । त्यसपछि मैले तिनलाई भेट्दा सायद तिनले मलाई स्वीकार गर्नेछन् ।”
And you are to say further, Jacob, your servant, is coming after us. For he said to himself, I will take away his wrath by the offering which I have sent on, and then I will come before him: it may be that I will have grace in his eyes.
21 त्यसैले उपहारहरू तिनको अगिअगि पठाइए । तिनी आफैचाहिँ त्यस रात शिविरमा नै बसे ।
So the servants with the offerings went on in front, and he himself took his rest that night in the tents with his people.
22 रातमा याकूब निद्राबाट ब्युँझे । आफ्ना दुई पत्नी, तिनीहरूका कमारीहरू र एघार जना छोरा लिएर तिनी प्रस्थान गरे । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई यब्बोक खोला पारि पठाए ।
And in the night he got up, and taking with him his two wives and the two servant-women and his eleven children, he went over the river Jabbok.
23 यसरी तिनले आफ्ना सबै सम्पत्ति खोला पारि पठाए ।
He took them and sent them over the stream with all he had.
24 याकूब एक्लै रहे, र एक जना मानिसले तिनीसित सूर्योदय नभएसम्म कुस्ती खेले ।
Then Jacob was by himself; and a man was fighting with him till dawn.
25 ती मानिसले याकूबलाई जित्न नसक्ने देखेपछि तिनले याकूबको कम्मरको खोक्रो भागमा प्रहार गरे । याकूब तिनीसित कुस्ती खेल्दा तिनको कम्मरको गेडी फुस्क्यो ।
But when the man saw that he was not able to overcome Jacob, he gave him a blow in the hollow part of his leg, so that his leg was damaged.
26 ती मानिसले भने, “मलाई जान देऊ किनकि उज्यालो हुँदै छ ।” याकूबले भने, “तपाईंले मलाई आशिष् नदिउञ्जेलसम्म म तपाईंलाई जान दिन्नँ ।”
And he said to him, Let me go now, for the dawn is near. But Jacob said, I will not let you go till you have given me your blessing.
27 ती मानिसले तिनलाई भने, “तिम्रो नाउँ के हो?” याकूबले जवाफ दिए, “याकूब ।”
Then he said, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.
28 ती मानिसले भने, “अबदेखि उसो तिम्रो नाउँ याकूब नभई इस्राएल हुनेछ । किनकि तिमीले परमेश्वर र मानिसहरूसित कुस्ती खेली जित हासिल गरेका छौ ।”
And he said, Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel: for in your fight with God and with men you have overcome.
29 याकूबले तिनलाई सोधे, “कृपया, मलाई तपाईंको नाउँ बताइदिनुहोस् ।” तिनले भने, “किन तिमी मेरो नाउँ सोध्छौ?” त्यसपछि त्यहाँ तिनले याकूबलाई आशिष् दिए ।
Then Jacob said, What is your name? And he said, What is my name to you? Then he gave him a blessing.
30 याकूबले त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ पनीएल राखे किनकि तिनले भने, “मैले परमेश्वरलाई आमने-सामने देखेर पनि मेरो ज्यान जोगिएको छ ।”
And Jacob gave that place the name of Peniel, saying, I have seen God face to face, and still I am living.
31 याकूबले पनीएल पार गर्दा सूर्योदय भइसकेको थियो । तिनको कम्मरको कारणले गर्दा तिनी खोच्याएर हिँड्दै थिए ।
And while he was going past Peniel, the sun came up. And he went with unequal steps because of his damaged leg.
32 यसैकारण आजको दिनसम्म इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले कम्मरको नसा खाँदैनन् किनकि ती मानिसले याकूबको कम्मरको गेडी फुस्काउँदा ती नसाहरूमा चोट पुर्याएका थिए ।
For this reason the children of Israel, even today, never take that muscle in the hollow of the leg as food, because the hollow of Jacob's leg was touched.
