उत्पत्ति 37
1 याकूब आफ्ना बुबा बसोबास गर्दै आएका कनान देशमा बस्दथे ।
And Jacob dwelt in the land where his father sojourned, in the land of Chanaan.
2 याकूबका विषयमा भएका घटनाहरूका वृत्तान्त यिनै थिए । सत्र वर्षका जवान योसेफ आफ्ना दाजुहरूसँग भेडाबाख्राहरूका बगाल हेर्दै थिए । उनी आफ्ना बुबाका उपपत्नीहरू बिल्हा र जिल्पाका छोराहरूसँग थिए । योसेफले आफ्ना बुबाकहाँ तिनीहरूका विषयमा खराब खबर ल्याए ।
And these are the generations of Jacob. And Joseph was seventeen years old, feeding the sheep of his father with his brethren, being young; with the sons of Balla, and with the sons of Zelpha, the wives of his father; and Joseph brought to Israel their father their evil reproach.
3 इस्राएलले आफ्ना सबै छोराहरूमध्ये योसेफलाई धेरै माया गर्दथे किनभने उनी तिनका बुढेसकालका छोरा थिए । तिनले उनको निम्ति एउटा सुन्दर वस्त्र बनाइदिए ।
And Jacob loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was to him the son of old age; and he made for him a coat of many colours.
4 उनका दाजुहरूले तिनीहरूका बुबाले उनलाई सबै दाजुभाइहरूभन्दा धेरै माया गरेका देखे । तिनीहरूले योसेफलाई घृणा गर्थे र उनीसँग राम्ररी बोल्दैनथे ।
And his brethren having seen that his father loved him more than all his sons, hated him, and could not speak anything peaceable to him.
5 योसेफले एउटा सपना देखे जसको विषयमा उनले आफ्ना दाजुहरूलाई बताए । त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले उनलाई झनै धेरै घृणा गरे ।
And Joseph dreamed a dream, and reported it to his brethren.
6 उनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “कृपया मैले देखेको सपनालाई सुन्नुहोस् ।
And he said to them, Hear this dream which I have dreamed.
7 हामी खेतमा अन्नका बिटाहरू बाँधिरहेका थियौँ अनि मेरो बिटाचाहिँ ठाडो भई उठ्यो, र तपाईंहरूका बिटाहरू मेरो बिटाको वरिपरि आई त्यसलाई दण्डवत् गरे ।”
I thought ye were binding sheaves in the middle of the field, and my sheaf stood up and was erected, and your sheaves turned round, and did obeisance to my sheaf.
8 उनका दाजुहरूले उनलाई भने, “के तैँले साँच्चै हामीमाथि शासन गर्नेछस्? के साँच्चै हामीमाथि तैँले अधिकार गर्नेछस्?” उनका सपना र उनले भनेका कुराहरूका कारण तिनीहरूले उनलाई झनै धेरै घृणा गरे ।
And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us, or shalt thou indeed be lord over us? And they hated him still more for his dreams and for his words.
9 उनले अर्को एउटा सपना देखे जसको विषयमा उनले आफ्ना दाजुहरूलाई बताए । उनले भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, मैले अर्को सपना देखेँः सूर्य, चन्द्र र एघारवटा ताराले मलाई दण्डवत् गरे ।”
And he dreamed another dream, and related it to his father, and to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed another dream: as it were the sun, and the moon, and the eleven stars did me reverence.
10 आफ्ना दाजुहरूलाई झैँ उनले यो कुरा आफ्ना बुबालाई पनि बताए, तर उनका बुबाले उनलाई हप्काए । तिनले उनलाई भने, “तिमीले देखेको यो सपना के हो? के तिम्री आमा र म अनि तिम्रा सबै दाजुहरूले साँच्चै तिम्रोअगि भुइँसम्मै झुकेर दण्डवत् गर्नेछन्?”
And his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream which thou hast dreamed? shall indeed both I and thy mother and thy brethren come and bow before thee to the earth?
11 उनका दाजुहरूले उनको ईर्ष्या गर्न लागे, तर उनका बुबाले यो विषयलाई आफ्नो मनमा नै राखे ।
And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
12 उनका दाजुहरू आफ्ना बुबाका भेडाबाख्राहरूका बगाललाई चराउन शकेममा गएका थिए ।
And his brethren went to feed the sheep of their father to Sychem.
13 इस्राएलले योसेफलाई भने, “के तिम्रा दाजुहरू शकेममा भेडाबाख्राहरूका बगाल चराइरहेका छैनन् र? आऊ, र म तिमीलाई तिनीहरूकहाँ पठाउनेछु ।” योसेफले तिनलाई भने, “म तयार छु ।”
And Israel said to Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed their flock in Sychem? Come, I will send thee to them; and he said to him, Behold, I [am here].
14 तिनले उनलाई भने, “अहिले नै जाऊ र तिम्रा दाजुहरू र बगाल ठिकै छन् कि छैनन् हेर, र मकहाँ खबर ल्याऊ ।” यसैकारण याकूबले उनलाई हेब्रोनको बेँसीबाट बाहिर शकेममा पठाए, अनि उनी त्यहाँ गए ।
And Israel said to him, Go and see if thy brethren and the sheep are well, and bring me word; and he sent him out of the valley of Chebron, and he came to Sychem.
15 एक जना मानिसले योसेफलाई भेट्टाए । योसेफ खेतमा डुलिरहेका थिए । त्यस मानिसले उनलाई सोधे, “तिमी के खोजिरहेका छौ?”
And a man found him wandering in the field; and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
16 योसेफले भने, “म मेरा दाजुहरूलाई खोजिरहेको छु । उहाँहरूले बगाल कहाँ चराउँदै हुनुहुन्छ कृपया मलाई बताउनुहोस् ।”
And he said, I am seeking my brethren; tell me where they feed [their flocks].
17 त्यस मानिसले भने, “तिनीहरू यस ठाउँबाट गइसके, तर मैले तिनीहरूले यसो भनेका सुनेको थिएँ, ‘हामी दोतानतिर जाऔँ ।’” योसेफ आफ्ना दाजुहरूका पछिपछि गए र तिनीहरूलाई दोतानमा भेट्टाए ।
And the man said to him, They have departed hence, for I heard them saying, Let us go to Dothaim; and Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothaim.
18 तिनीहरूले उनलाई टाढैबाट आइरहेको देखे, र उनी तिनीहरूका नजिक आइपुग्नअगि नै तिनीहरूले उनलाई मार्ने मतो गरे ।
And they spied him from a distance before he drew nigh to them, and they wickedly took counsel to slay him.
19 उनका दाजुहरूले एक-अर्कासँग भने, “हेर, त्यो स्वप्न-दर्शी आउँदै छ ।
And each said to his brother, Behold, that dreamer comes.
20 अब, हामी त्यसलाई मारौँ र त्यसलाई यी खाडलहरूमध्ये एउटामा फालिदिऔँ । हामी यस्तो भनिदिउँला, ‘कुनै जङ्गली जनावरले त्यसलाई खाएछ ।’ अनि त्यसका सपनाहरू के हुनेछन् भनेर हामी हेर्नेछौँ ।”
Now then come, let us kill him, and cast him into one of the pits; and we will say, An evil wild beast has devoured him; and we shall see what his dreams will be.
21 रूबेनले यो सुने र उनलाई तिनीहरूका हातबाट बचाए । उनले भने, “हामी त्यसको प्राण नलिऔँ ।”
And Ruben having heard it, rescued him out of their hands, and said, Let us not kill him.
22 तिनीहरूका हातबाट बचाई आफ्ना बुबाकहाँ ल्याउने योजना राखी रूबेनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “रगत नबगाऔँ । मरुभूमिको खाडलमा त्यसलाई फ्याँकिदेओ, तर त्यसमाथि हात नउठाओ ।”
And Ruben said to them, Shed not blood; cast him into one of these pits in the wilderness, but do not lay [your] hands upon him; that he might rescue him out of their hands, and restore him to his father.
23 जब योसेफ दाजुहरूकहाँ आइपुगे, तिनीहरूले उनको त्यो सुन्दर वस्त्र च्यातिदिए ।
And it came to pass, when Joseph came to his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his many-coloured coat that was upon him.
24 तिनीहरूले उनलाई पक्रेर खाडलमा फ्याँकिदिए । त्यो खाडलमा पानी थिएन र त्यो सुक्खा थियो ।
And they took him and cast him into the pit; and the pit was empty, it had not water.
25 तिनीहरू भोजन गर्न बसे । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना आँखा उठाएर हेरे, र गिलादबाट ऊँटहरूमा मसलाहरू, लेप र मुर्र लिएर आइरहेको इश्माएलीहरूको एउटा यात्री दललाई देखे । तिनीहरू ती सरसामान लिएर मिश्रतर्फ यात्रा गर्दै थिए ।
And they sat down to eat bread; and having lifted up their eyes they beheld, and lo, Ismaelitish travellers came from Galaad, and their camels were heavily loaded with spices, and resin, and myrrh; and they went to bring them to Egypt.
26 यहूदाले आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूलाई भने, “हामीले आफ्नो भाइलाई मारेर त्यसको रगत लुकाएर हामीलाई के फाइदा?
And Judas said to his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
27 आओ, त्यसलाई यी इश्माएलीहरूलाई बेचिदिऔँ र त्यसमाथि हात नउठाऔँ । किनकि त्यो हाम्रै रगत, हाम्रै भाइ हो ।” उनका दाजुभाइहरूले उनको कुरा सुने ।
Come, let us sell him to these Ismaelites, but let not our hands be upon him, because he is our brother and our flesh; and his brethren hearkened.
28 मिद्यानी व्यापारीहरू त्यहाँबाट भएर गए । योसेफका दाजुहरूले उनलाई माथि उठाए र त्यस खाडलबाट बाहिर निकाले । तिनीहरूले योसेफलाई इश्माएलीहरूका हातमा चाँदीका बिस सिक्कामा बेचिदिए । ती इश्माएलीहरूले योसेफलाई मिश्रमा लगे ।
And the men, the merchants of Madian, went by, and they drew and lifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ismaelites for twenty pieces of gold; and they brought Joseph down into Egypt.
29 पछि रूबेन त्यस खाडलमा फर्केर गए, तर योसेफ भने खाडलमा थिएनन् । उनले आफ्ना लुगाहरू च्याते ।
And Ruben returned to the pit, and sees not Joseph in the pit; and he rent his garments.
30 उनी आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूकहाँ फर्के र भने, “त्यो केटो त त्यहाँ छैन! अब म कहाँ जाऊँ?”
And he returned to his brethren and said, The boy is not; and I, whither am I yet to go?
31 तिनीहरूले एउटा बोका मारे अनि त्यसपछि योसेफको वस्त्र लिएर त्यसलाई रगतमा चोपे।
And having taken the coat of Joseph, they slew a kid of the goats, and stained the coat with the blood.
32 त्यस वस्त्रलाई तिनीहरूले आफ्ना बुबाकहाँ ल्याएर भने, “हामीले यो भेट्टायौँ । कृपया यो तपाईंको छोराको लुगा हो कि होइन हेर्नुहोस् ।”
And they sent the coat of many colours; and they brought it to their father, and said, This have we found; know if it be thy son's coat or no. And he recognised it, and said, It is my son's coat, an evil wild beast has devoured him; a wild beast has carried off Joseph.
33 याकूबले आफ्ना छोराको लुगा चिने र भने, “यो त मेरो छोराको लुगा हो । उसलाई जङ्गली जनावरले खाएछ । योसेफलाई पक्कै पनि त्यसले टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्यो होला ।”
34 याकूबले आफ्ना वस्त्र च्याते र आफ्नो कम्मरमा भाङ्ग्रा लगाए । तिनले आफ्ना छोराको निम्ति धेरै दिनसम्म शोक गरे ।
And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
35 तिनका सबै छोराछोरीहरू तिनलाई सान्त्वना दिन तिनको नजिक आए, तर तिनले त्यो इन्कार गरे । तिनले भने, “म मेरो छोराको निम्ति शोक गर्दै चिहानमा पुग्नेछु ।” उनका बुबा उनको निम्ति रोए । (Sheol h7585)
And all his sons and his daughters gathered themselves together, and came to comfort him; but he would not be comforted, saying, I will go down to my son mourning to Hades; and his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 मिद्यानीहरूले उनलाई मिश्रमा फारोका एक अधिकृत अर्थात् अङ्गरक्षकहरूका कप्तान पोतीफरका हातमा बेचिदिए ।
And the Madianites sold Joseph into Egypt; to Petephres, the eunuch of Pharao, captain of the guard.
