उत्पत्ति 32
1 याकूब पनि आफ्नो बाटो लागे, र परमेश्वरका दूतहरूले तिनीसित भेट गरे ।
And Jacob went on his way, and there met him angels of God.
2 याकूबले तिनीहरूलाई देखेपछि तिनले भने, “यो त परमेश्वरको शिविर हो ।” त्यसैले तिनले त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ महनोम राखे ।
And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is a host of God; and he called the name of that place Machanayim.
3 याकूबले एदोमको क्षेत्रमा पर्ने सेइर देशमा आफ्ना दाजु एसावकहाँ आफूभन्दा अगिअगि सन्देशवाहकहरू पठाए ।
And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto 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 commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord, to Esau, Thus hath said thy servant Jacob, With Laban have I sojourned, and stayed until now.
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 acquired oxen, and asses, flocks, and men-servants, and women-servants; and I send now to tell my lord, to find grace in thy eyes.
6 याकूबकहाँ फर्की सन्देशवाहकहरूले यसो भने, “हामी तपाईंका दाजु एसावकहाँ गयौँ । उहाँ चार सय जना मानिससहित तपाईंलाई भेट्न आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।”
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother, to Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, 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 greatly afraid, and he felt distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two bands.
8 तिनले भने, “एसावले आएर एउटा दललाई अाक्रमण गरे भने बाँकी रहेको दल भाग्नेछ ।
And he said, If Esau should come to the one band and smite it, then the other band which is left may escape.
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 ।'
And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the Lord who saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy birthplace, and I will deal well with thee:
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 not worthy of all the kindness, and of all the truth, which thou hast shown unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
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 ।
Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, the mother with the children.
12 तर तपाईंले भन्नुभयो, 'निश्चय नै, म तेरो उन्नति गराउनेछु । म तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई गन्नै नसकिने गरी समुद्रको बालुवासरह तुल्याउनेछु' ।”
And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
13 त्यस रात याकूब त्यहीँ बसे । आफ्ना दाजु एसावलाई उपहारस्वरूप दिनलाई तिनले आफूसित भएका केही थोकहरू अलग गरे जुन यिनै थिएः
And he lodged there that same night; and he took of that which he carried with him a present for Esau his brother:
14 दुई सयवटा बाख्री, बिसवटा बोका,
Two hundred she-goats, and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams.
15 तिसवटा दुध दिने ऊँट र तिनीहरूका बच्चा, चालिसवटा गाई र दसवटा साँढे, बिसवटा गधैनी र दसवटा गधा ।
Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty cows, and ten bulls, twenty she-asses, and ten foals.
16 तिनले बथान-बथान गरी यी सबै आफ्ना कमाराहरूको जिम्मा लगाइदिए । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “मेरो अगिअगि जाओ र हरेक बथानको बिचमा खाली ठाउँ राख ।”
And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself; and he said unto his servants, Pass on before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
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 commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother should meet thee, and ask thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither art thou going? and for whom are these before thee?
18 तैँले यसो भन्, 'यी तपाईंका दास याकूबका हुन् । यी मेरा मालिक याकूबलाई उपहारस्वरूप पठाइएका हुन् । हेर्नुहोस्, उहाँ पनि हाम्रो पछिपछि आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ' ।”
Then shalt thou say, They belong to thy servant, to Jacob; it is a present sent unto my lord, to Esau; and, behold, also, he is himself behind 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 so he commanded also the second, also the third, as also all that followed the droves, saying, After this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find 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 say ye moreover, Behold, also thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will receive me kindly.
21 त्यसैले उपहारहरू तिनको अगिअगि पठाइए । तिनी आफैचाहिँ त्यस रात शिविरमा नै बसे ।
The present went thus on before him; and he lodged himself that night in the camp.
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 he rose up that night, and he took his two wives, and his two women-servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of the Yabbok.
23 यसरी तिनले आफ्ना सबै सम्पत्ति खोला पारि पठाए ।
And he took them, and sent them over the stream and sent over what he had.
24 याकूब एक्लै रहे, र एक जना मानिसले तिनीसित सूर्योदय नभएसम्म कुस्ती खेले ।
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25 ती मानिसले याकूबलाई जित्न नसक्ने देखेपछि तिनले याकूबको कम्मरको खोक्रो भागमा प्रहार गरे । याकूब तिनीसित कुस्ती खेल्दा तिनको कम्मरको गेडी फुस्क्यो ।
And when he saw that he could net prevail against him, he struck against the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was put out of joint, as he was wrestling with him.
26 ती मानिसले भने, “मलाई जान देऊ किनकि उज्यालो हुँदै छ ।” याकूबले भने, “तपाईंले मलाई आशिष् नदिउञ्जेलसम्म म तपाईंलाई जान दिन्नँ ।”
And he said, Let me go, for the day hath dawned. And he said, I will not let thee go until thou hast blessed me.
27 ती मानिसले तिनलाई भने, “तिम्रो नाउँ के हो?” याकूबले जवाफ दिए, “याकूब ।”
And he said unto him, What is thy 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, Not Jacob shall any more be called thy name, but Israel; for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
29 याकूबले तिनलाई सोधे, “कृपया, मलाई तपाईंको नाउँ बताइदिनुहोस् ।” तिनले भने, “किन तिमी मेरो नाउँ सोध्छौ?” त्यसपछि त्यहाँ तिनले याकूबलाई आशिष् दिए ।
And Jacob asked him, and said, tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
30 याकूबले त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ पनीएल राखे किनकि तिनले भने, “मैले परमेश्वरलाई आमने-सामने देखेर पनि मेरो ज्यान जोगिएको छ ।”
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen an angel of God face to face, and my life hath been preserved.
31 याकूबले पनीएल पार गर्दा सूर्योदय भइसकेको थियो । तिनको कम्मरको कारणले गर्दा तिनी खोच्याएर हिँड्दै थिए ।
And the sun rose unto him as he passed by Penuel, and he halted upon his thigh.
32 यसैकारण आजको दिनसम्म इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले कम्मरको नसा खाँदैनन् किनकि ती मानिसले याकूबको कम्मरको गेडी फुस्काउँदा ती नसाहरूमा चोट पुर्याएका थिए ।
Therefore do the children of Israel not eat the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day; because he struck against the hollow of Jacob's thigh on the sinew that shrank.
