उत्पत्ति 37
1 याकूब आफ्ना बुबा बसोबास गर्दै आएका कनान देशमा बस्दथे ।
And Jacob dwelt in the land of Chanaan wherein his father sojourned.
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 his generations: Joseph, when he was sixteen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren, being but a boy: and he was with the sons of Bala and of Zelpha his father’s wives: and he accused his brethren to his father of a most wicked crime.
3 इस्राएलले आफ्ना सबै छोराहरूमध्ये योसेफलाई धेरै माया गर्दथे किनभने उनी तिनका बुढेसकालका छोरा थिए । तिनले उनको निम्ति एउटा सुन्दर वस्त्र बनाइदिए ।
Now Israel loved Joseph above all his sons, because he had him in his old age: and he made him a coat of divers colours.
4 उनका दाजुहरूले तिनीहरूका बुबाले उनलाई सबै दाजुभाइहरूभन्दा धेरै माया गरेका देखे । तिनीहरूले योसेफलाई घृणा गर्थे र उनीसँग राम्ररी बोल्दैनथे ।
And his brethren seeing that he was loved by his father, more than all his sons, hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.
5 योसेफले एउटा सपना देखे जसको विषयमा उनले आफ्ना दाजुहरूलाई बताए । त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले उनलाई झनै धेरै घृणा गरे ।
Now it fell out also that he told his brethren a dream, that he had dreamed: which occasioned them to hate him the more.
6 उनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “कृपया मैले देखेको सपनालाई सुन्नुहोस् ।
And he said to them: Hear my dream which I 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 we were binding sheaves in the field: and my sheaf arose as it were, and stood, and your sheaves standing about, bowed down before 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 ।
His brethren answered: Shalt thou be our king? or shall we be subject to thy dominion? Therefore this matter of his dreams and words ministered nourishment to their envy and hatred.
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 ।”
He dreamed also another dream, which he told his brethren, saying: I saw in a dream, as it were the sun, and the moon, and eleven stars worshipping me.
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 when he had told this to his father and brethren, his father rebuked him, and said: What meaneth this dream that thou hast dreamed? shall I and thy mother, and thy brethren worship thee upon the earth?
11 उनका दाजुहरूले उनको ईर्ष्या गर्न लागे, तर उनका बुबाले यो विषयलाई आफ्नो मनमा नै राखे ।
His brethren therefore envied him: but his father considered the thing with himself.
12 उनका दाजुहरू आफ्ना बुबाका भेडाबाख्राहरूका बगाललाई चराउन शकेममा गएका थिए ।
And when his brethren abode in Sichem feeding their father’s flocks,
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 ।”
Israel said to him: Thy brethren feed the sheep in Sichem: come, I will send thee to them. And when he answered:
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 ।
I am ready: he said to him: Go, and see if all things be well with thy brethren, and the cattle: and bring me word again what is doing. So being sent from the vale of Hebron, he came to Sichem:
15 एक जना मानिसले योसेफलाई भेट्टाए । योसेफ खेतमा डुलिरहेका थिए । त्यस मानिसले उनलाई सोधे, “तिमी के खोजिरहेका छौ?”
And a man found him there wandering in the field, and asked what he sought.
16 योसेफले भने, “म मेरा दाजुहरूलाई खोजिरहेको छु । उहाँहरूले बगाल कहाँ चराउँदै हुनुहुन्छ कृपया मलाई बताउनुहोस् ।”
But he answered: I seek my brethren; tell me where they feed the 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 are departed from this place: for I heard them say: Let us go to Dothain. And Joseph went forward after his brethren, and found them in Dothain.
18 तिनीहरूले उनलाई टाढैबाट आइरहेको देखे, र उनी तिनीहरूका नजिक आइपुग्नअगि नै तिनीहरूले उनलाई मार्ने मतो गरे ।
And when they saw him afar off, before he came nigh them, they thought to kill him.
19 उनका दाजुहरूले एक-अर्कासँग भने, “हेर, त्यो स्वप्न-दर्शी आउँदै छ ।
And said one to another: Behold the dreamer cometh.
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 ।”
Come, let us kill him, and cast him into some old pit: and we will say: Some evil beast hath devoured him: and then it shall appear what his dreams avail him:
21 रूबेनले यो सुने र उनलाई तिनीहरूका हातबाट बचाए । उनले भने, “हामी त्यसको प्राण नलिऔँ ।”
And Ruben hearing this, endeavoured to deliver him out of their hands, and said:
22 तिनीहरूका हातबाट बचाई आफ्ना बुबाकहाँ ल्याउने योजना राखी रूबेनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “रगत नबगाऔँ । मरुभूमिको खाडलमा त्यसलाई फ्याँकिदेओ, तर त्यसमाथि हात नउठाओ ।”
Do not take away his life, nor shed his blood: but cast him into this pit, that is in the wilderness, and keep your hands harmless: now he said this, being desirous to deliver him out of their hands and to restore him to his father.
23 जब योसेफ दाजुहरूकहाँ आइपुगे, तिनीहरूले उनको त्यो सुन्दर वस्त्र च्यातिदिए ।
And as soon as he came to his brethren, they forthwith stript him of his outside coat, that was of divers colours:
24 तिनीहरूले उनलाई पक्रेर खाडलमा फ्याँकिदिए । त्यो खाडलमा पानी थिएन र त्यो सुक्खा थियो ।
And cast him into an old pit, where there was no 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 sitting down to eat bread, they saw some Ismaelites on their way coming from Galaad, with their camels, carrying spices, and balm, and myrrh to Egypt.
26 यहूदाले आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूलाई भने, “हामीले आफ्नो भाइलाई मारेर त्यसको रगत लुकाएर हामीलाई के फाइदा?
And Juda said to his brethren: What will it profit us to kill 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 ।
It is better that he be sold to the Ismaelites, and that our hands be not defiled: for he is our brother and our flesh. His brethren agreed to his words.
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 when the Madianite merchants passed by, they drew him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ismaelites, for twenty pieces of silver: and they led him into Egypt.
29 पछि रूबेन त्यस खाडलमा फर्केर गए, तर योसेफ भने खाडलमा थिएनन् । उनले आफ्ना लुगाहरू च्याते ।
And Ruben, returning to the pit, found not the boy:
30 उनी आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूकहाँ फर्के र भने, “त्यो केटो त त्यहाँ छैन! अब म कहाँ जाऊँ?”
And rending his garments he went to his brethren, and said: The boy doth not appear and whither shall I go?
31 तिनीहरूले एउटा बोका मारे अनि त्यसपछि योसेफको वस्त्र लिएर त्यसलाई रगतमा चोपे।
And they took his coat, and dipped it in the blood of a kid, which they had killed:
32 त्यस वस्त्रलाई तिनीहरूले आफ्ना बुबाकहाँ ल्याएर भने, “हामीले यो भेट्टायौँ । कृपया यो तपाईंको छोराको लुगा हो कि होइन हेर्नुहोस् ।”
Sending some to carry it to their father, and to say: This we have found: see whether it be thy son’s coat, or not.
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 ।”
And the father acknowledging it, said: It is my son’s coat, an evil wild beast hath eaten him, a beast hath devoured Joseph.
34 याकूबले आफ्ना वस्त्र च्याते र आफ्नो कम्मरमा भाङ्ग्रा लगाए । तिनले आफ्ना छोराको निम्ति धेरै दिनसम्म शोक गरे ।
And tearing his garments, he put on sackcloth, mourning for his son a long time.
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 children being gathered together to comfort their father in his sorrow, he would not receive comfort, but said: I will go down to my son into hell, mourning. And whilst he continued weeping, (Sheol h7585)
36 मिद्यानीहरूले उनलाई मिश्रमा फारोका एक अधिकृत अर्थात् अङ्गरक्षकहरूका कप्तान पोतीफरका हातमा बेचिदिए ।
The Madianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Putiphar, an eunuch of Pharao, captain of the soldiers.
