उत्पत्ति 33
1 याकूबले माथि हेर्दा एसाव आउँदै थिए, र तिनीसित चार सय मानिस थिए । तिनले आफ्ना छोराछोरीहरूलाई लेआ, राहेल र दुई जना कमारीको बिचमा विभाजन गरे ।
Jacob saw Esau in the distance, coming towards him with four hundred men. So he split up the children between Leah, Rachel and the two personal maids.
2 तब तिनले कमारीहरू र तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीहरूलाई अग्रपङ्क्तिमा राखे; त्यसपछि लेआ र उनका छोराछोरीहरू अनि अन्त्यमा राहेल र योसेफलाई राखे ।
He placed the two personal maids with their children first, then Leah and her children, and Rachel and Joseph last.
3 तिनी आफैचाहिँ तिनीहरूभन्दा अगिअगि गए । तिनी आफ्ना दाजुको नजिक नआउञ्जेलसम्म तिनले सात पटक भुइँमा शिर निहुर्याउँदै गए ।
Then Jacob went ahead of them and bowed low to the ground seven times before approaching his brother.
4 एसाव याकूबलाई भेट्न दौडिए; अङ्गालो हाले; अङ्कमाल गरे र चुम्बन गरे । त्यसपछि तिनीहरू रोए ।
Esau ran over to him and hugged him. He put his arms around his neck and kissed him. The two of them wept.
5 एसावले हेर्दा तिनले स्त्रीहरू र केटाकेटीहरूलाई देखे । तिनले भने, “तिमीसँगै आएका यी मानिसहरू को हुन्?” याकूबले भने, “तपाईंका दासलाई परमेश्वरले अनुग्रहसाथ दिनुभएका छोराछोरीहरू हुन् ।”
Then Esau looked around at the women and children. “Who are these people with you?” he asked. “They are the children God graciously gave your servant,” Jacob replied.
6 त्यसपछि आ-आफ्ना छोराछोरीहरू लिएर कमारीहरू आएर एसावलाई ढोग गरे ।
The personal maids and their children came over and bowed down.
7 अनि लेआ र उनका छोराछोरीहरू आएर ढोग गरे । अन्त्यमा योसेफ र राहेल आएर ढोग गरे ।
Then Leah and her children came over and bowed down. Lastly Joseph and Rachel came over and bowed down.
8 एसावले भने, “मैले भेटेका यी सबै दलको अर्थ के हो?” याकूबले जवाफ दिए, “मेरा मालिकको दृष्टिमा निगाह प्राप्त गर्नलाई हो ।”
“What were all the livestock for that I met on the way?” Esau asked. “They're a gift to you my lord so you'd treat me well,” Jacob answered.
9 एसावले भने, “मेरा भाइ, मसित प्रशस्त छ । तिम्रो जे हो, ती आफैसित राख ।”
“I have more than enough, my brother! You keep what you have,” said Esau.
10 याकूबले भने, “त्यसो होइन । मैले तपाईंको दृष्टिमा निगाह पाएको छु भने मेरो हातबाट उपहार ग्रहण गर्नुहोस् । किनभने मैले तपाईंको मुहार देखेको छु, र यो परमेश्वरको मुहार देखेजस्तै भएको छ र तपाईंले मलाई ग्रहण गर्नुभएको छ ।
“No, please!” Jacob insisted. “If you're happy with me, then please accept the gift I'm giving you. Now I've seen your face again it's like seeing the face of God, and you have welcomed me so kindly!
11 कृपया, तपाईंको लागि ल्याइएको यो उपहारलाई ग्रहण गर्नुहोस् किनभने परमेश्वरले मसित अनुग्रहसाथ व्यवहार गर्नुभएको छ, र मसित प्रशस्तै छ ।” यसरी याकूबले बिन्ती गरेपछि एसावले त्यसलाई स्वीकार गरे ।
Please take the gift I've brought to you because God has treated me so well and I have so much.” So Esau accepted it.
12 तब एसावले भने, “हामी आफ्नो बाटो लागौँ । म तिम्रो अगिअगि जानेछु ।”
“Let's get on our way,” Esau said. “I'll go ahead of you.”
13 याकूबले तिनलाई भने, “मेरा मालिकलाई थाहै छ, कि यी केटाकेटीहरू सानै छन् र यी गाईबस्तुहरूले दुध चुसाउँदै छन् । तिनीहरूलाई एकै दिन मात्र बेसरी धपाइयो भने ती सबै मर्नेछन् ।
“My lord can see that the children are weak,” Jacob responded. “Also, the goats, sheep, and cattle are nursing their young, and if I push them too hard, they'll all die.
14 यसैले मेरा मालिक आफ्ना दासभन्दा अगिअगि जानुहोस् भनी म बिन्ती गर्दछु । सेइरमा मेरा मालिककहाँ नआइपुगुञ्जेलसम्म म गाईबस्तुको चाल र केटाकेटीहरूको चालमा निकै बिस्तारै हिँड्नेछु ।
You go on, my lord, and your servant will come along slowly, walking with the children, and I'll meet you at Seir.”
15 एसावले भने, “म तिमीसित भएका केही मानिसहरूसित मेरा केही मानिसहरू छाडिदिन्छु ।” तर याकूबले भने, “किन त्यसो गर्ने?” मेरा मालिकको दृष्टिमा मैले निगाह पाए त भइहाल्यो नि ।”
“Fine, but let me leave some of my men with you,” said Esau. “You're very kind, but there's no need to do that,” Jacob replied.
16 त्यसैले त्यही दिन एसाव सेइरतर्फ फर्कन आफ्नो बाटो लागे ।
So Esau started on his way back to Seir that day.
17 याकूब सुक्कोततर्फ लागे । त्यहाँ तिनले डेरा हाले र आफ्ना गाईबस्तुहरूका निम्ति छाप्रा हाले । त्यसकारण त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ सुक्कोत राखियो ।
But Jacob headed to Succoth, where he built himself a house and shelters for the livestock. That's why the place is called Succoth.
18 याकूब पद्दन-आरामबाट आउँदा तिनी शकेमको सहरमा सुरक्षितसाथ आइपुगे जुन ठाउँ कनान देशमा पर्छ । तिनले सहरनजिकै पाल टाँगे ।
Later Jacob continued his journey from Paddan-aram. He arrived safely at Shechem in the country of Canaan where he camped outside the town.
19 त्यसपछि तिनले एक सय चाँदीका सिक्कामा शकेमका पिता हमोरका छोराहरूबाट एउटा जग्गा किने र त्यहीँ नै आफ्नो पाल टाँगे ।
He bought the plot of ground where he was camping from the sons of Hamor, the founder of Shechem, for 100 pieces of money.
20 त्यहाँ तिनले एउटा वेदी बनाए र त्यसको नाउँ एल-एलोह-एस्राएल राखे ।
He built an altar there and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
