उत्पत्ति 35

1 परमेश्‍वरले याकूबलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “उठेर बेथेलमा जा, र त्यहीँ बस् । तँ तेरा दाजु एसावबाट भाग्दा तँकहाँ देखा पर्नुहुने परमेश्‍वरको निम्ति एउटा वेदी बना ।”

About this time, God said to Jacob, “Arise and go up to Bethel, and live there, and make an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”

2 त्यसपछि याकूबले तिनको घराना र तिनीसित भएका सबैलाई भने, “तिमीहरूका बिचमा भएका विदेशी देवताहरू हटाइदेओ, र आफू-आफूलाई शुद्ध पारेर लुगाहरू फेर ।

In truth, Jacob, having called together all his house, said: “Cast away the foreign gods that are in your midst and be cleansed, and also change your garments.

3 अनि हामी यहाँबाट प्रस्थान गरी माथि बेथेलमा जाऔँ । त्यहाँ म परमेश्‍वरको लागि एउटा वेदी बनाउनेछु जसले मेरो दुःखमा मलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो र म जहाँ गए पनि उहाँ मसित हुनुभएको छ ।”

Arise, and let us go up to Bethel, so that we may make an altar there to God, who heeded me in the day of my tribulation, and who accompanied me on my journey.”

4 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्ना हातमा भएका सबै विदेशी देवता र तिनीहरूका कानमा लगाएका कुण्डलहरू याकूबलाई दिए । याकूबले

Therefore, they gave him all the foreign gods which they had, and the earrings which were in their ears. And then he buried them under the terebinth tree, which is beyond the city of Shechem.

5 तिनलाई शकेमको नजिकै रहेको फलाँटको रुखमुनि गाडे । तिनीहरू यात्रा गर्दै अगाडि बढ्दा परमेश्‍वरले तिनीहरूका वरिपरिका सहरहरूमा त्रास फैलाइदिनुभयो । त्यसैले ती मानिसहरूले याकूबका छोराहरूलाई लखेटेनन् ।

And when they had set out, the terror of God invaded all the surrounding cities, and they dared not pursue them as they withdrew.

6 याकूब तिनीसित भएका सबै मानिससित लूज अर्थात् बेथेलमा आइपुगे जुन कनान देशमा पर्छ ।

And so, Jacob arrived at Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, also named Bethel: he and all the people with him.

7 त्यहाँ तिनले एउटा वेदी बनाए, र त्यसको नाउँ एल-बेथेल राखे किनकि तिनी आफ्ना दाजुबाट भाग्दा त्यहाँ परमेश्‍वरले आफैलाई तिनीकहाँ प्रकट गराउनुभएको थियो ।

And he built an altar there, and he called the name of that place, ‘House of God.’ For there, God appeared to him when he fled from his brother.

8 त्यहाँ रिबेकाकी धाई दबोरा मरी । त्यसलाई बेथेलनेरको फलाँटको रुखमुनि गाडियो । त्यसैले यसको नाउँ अल्लोन-बकुत राखियो ।

About the same time, Deborah, the nurse of Rebekah, died, and she was buried at the base of Bethel, under an oak tree. And the name of that place was called, ‘Oak of Weeping.’

9 याकूब पद्दन-आरामबाट आउँदा परमेश्‍वर फेरि तिनीकहाँ प्रकट हुनुभई तिनलाई आशिष् दिनुभयो ।

Then God appeared again to Jacob, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria, and he blessed him,

10 परमेश्‍वरले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तेरो नाउँ याकूब हो, तर अबदेखि तेरो नाउँ याकूब भनिनेछैन । तेरो नाउँ इस्राएल हुनेछ ।” त्यसैले परमेश्‍वरले तिनको नाउँ इस्राएल राखिदिनुभयो ।

saying: “You will no longer be called Jacob, for your name shall be Israel.” And he called him Israel,

11 परमेश्‍वरले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “म सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्‍वर हुँ । फल्दै-फुल्दै वृद्धि हुँदै जा । तँबाट एउटा जाति र जाति-जातिहरूको समूह उदय हुनेछ, अनि तेरा सन्तानहरूका बिचमा राजाहरू हुनेछन् ।

and he said to him: “I am Almighty God: increase and multiply. Tribes and peoples of nations will be from you, and kings will go forth from your loins.

12 मैले अब्राहाम र इसहाकलाई दिएको देश म तँलाई दिनेछु । तँपछि उदय हुने तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई पनि म यो देश दिनेछु ।”

And the land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you, and to your offspring after you.”

13 तिनीसित कुराकानी गर्नुभएको ठाउँबाट परमेश्‍वर जानुभयो ।

And he withdrew from him.

14 परमेश्‍वर तिनीसित कुराकानी गर्नुभएको ठाउँमा याकूबले ढुङ्गाको एउटा वेदी खडा गरे । तिनले त्यसमाथि अर्घ-बलि चढाएर तेल खन्याए ।

In truth, he set up a monument of stone, in the place where God had spoken to him, pouring out libations over it, and pouring oil,

15 परमेश्‍वर तिनीसित बोल्नुभएको त्यस ठाउँलाई याकूबले बेथेल नाउँ दिए ।

and he called the name of that place, ‘Bethel.’

16 तिनीहरू बेथेलबाट प्रस्थान गरे । तिनीहरू एप्रात आइपुग्‍न अलिकति दुरी बाँकी छँदा नै राहेललाई सुत्केरी व्यथा लाग्यो । उनलाई ज्यादै पीडा भएको थियो ।

Then, departing from there, he arrived in springtime at the land that leads to Ephrath. And there, when Rachel was giving birth,

17 उनी अत्यधिक पीडामा हुँदा सुँडेनीले उनलाई भनी, “भयभीत नहुनुहोस् किनकि अब तपाईंले अर्को छोरो जन्माउनुहुनेछ ।”

because it was a difficult birth, she began to be in danger. And the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for you will have this son also.”

18 उनको प्राण जाने बेलामा उनी चिच्‍च्याउँदै गर्दा उनले त्यसको नाउँ बेन-ओनी राखिन्, तर त्यसका पिताले त्यसलाई बेन्यामीन नाउँ दिए ।

Then, when her life was departing because of the pain, and death was now imminent, she called the name of her son Benoni, that is, the son of my pain. Yet truly, his father called him Benjamin, that is, the son of the right hand.

19 राहेल मरिन् र एप्राता (अर्थात् बेथलेहेम) जाने बाटोमा उनलाई गाडियो ।

And so Rachel died, and she was buried in the way that leads to Ephrath: this place is Bethlehem.

20 याकूबले उनको चिहानमा एउटा खामो खडा गरे । आजको दिनसम्म यो राहेलको चिहानको चिन्हको रूपमा खडा छ ।

And Jacob erected a monument over her sepulcher. This is the monument to Rachel’s tomb, even to the present day.

21 इस्राएल अगि बढे र तिनले बगालको धरहराभन्दा पर आफ्नो पाल टाँगे ।

Departing from there, he pitched his tent beyond the Tower of the Flock.

22 इस्राएल त्यस देशमा बसिरहँदा रूबेन आफ्ना पिताकी भित्रिनी बिल्हासित सुते, र इस्राएलले यस विषयमा सुने । याकूबका बार्‍ह जना छोरा थिए ।

And when he was living in that region, Reuben went out, and he slept with Bilhah the concubine of his father, which was not such a small matter as to be hidden from him. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.

23 याकूबले लेआबाट जन्माएका छोराहरू यिनै थिएः जेठो रूबेन, त्यसपछि शिमियोन, लेवी, यहूदा, इस्साखार र जबूलून ।

The sons of Leah: Reuben the first born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.

24 राहेलतर्फका छोराहरू यिनै थिएः योसेफ र बेन्यामीन ।

The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

25 राहेलकी कमारी बिल्हातर्फका छोराहरू यिनै थिएः दान र नप्‍ताली ।

The sons of Bilhah, handmaid of Rachel: Dan and Naphtali.

26 लेआकी कमारी जिल्पातर्फका छोराहरू यिनै थिएः गाद र आशेर । यी सबै याकूबले पद्दन-आराममा जन्माएका छोराहरू थिए ।

The sons of Zilpah, handmaid of Leah: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria.

27 याकूब किर्यत-अर्बा (जुन हेब्रोन हो) मा आफ्ना पिता इसहाककहाँ आए जहाँ अब्राहाम र इसहाक बसोबास गरेका थिए ।

And then he went to his father Isaac in Mamre, the city of Arba: this place is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.

28 इसहाक एक सय असी वर्षसम्म बाँचे ।

And the days of Isaac were completed: one hundred and eighty years.

29 इसहाकले आफ्नो अन्तिम सास फेरे र तिनको मृत्यु भयो अनि तिनी आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित मिल्न गए । तिनी पुरा बुढेसकालसम्म बाँचेका थिए । तिनका छोराहरू एसाव र याकूबले तिनलाई गाडे ।

And being consumed by old age, he died. And he was placed with his people, being old and full of days. And his sons, Esau and Jacob, buried him.
