उत्पत्ति 37
1 याकूब आफ्ना बुबा बसोबास गर्दै आएका कनान देशमा बस्दथे ।
Jacob lived in the land where his father had sojourned, in the land of Canaan.
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 ।
These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, tended the flock with his brothers; he was an assistant to the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought a bad report about them to their father.
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 more than all his children, because he had been born to him in his old age. And he made a long ornamented robe for him.
4 उनका दाजुहरूले तिनीहरूका बुबाले उनलाई सबै दाजुभाइहरूभन्दा धेरै माया गरेका देखे । तिनीहरूले योसेफलाई घृणा गर्थे र उनीसँग राम्ररी बोल्दैनथे ।
His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn't speak a kind word to him.
5 योसेफले एउटा सपना देखे जसको विषयमा उनले आफ्ना दाजुहरूलाई बताए । त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले उनलाई झनै धेरै घृणा गरे ।
Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.
6 उनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “कृपया मैले देखेको सपनालाई सुन्नुहोस् ।
He said to them, "Please listen to this dream I had:
7 हामी खेतमा अन्नका बिटाहरू बाँधिरहेका थियौँ अनि मेरो बिटाचाहिँ ठाडो भई उठ्यो, र तपाईंहरूका बिटाहरू मेरो बिटाको वरिपरि आई त्यसलाई दण्डवत् गरे ।”
And look, we were binding sheaves in the field, and look, my sheaf arose and also stood upright. And look, your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down 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 ।
Then his brothers said to him, "Will you indeed reign over us? Or will you indeed rule over us?" So they hated him all the more for his dreams and for what he said.
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 had another dream, and told it to his father and to his brothers, and said, "Look, I had yet another dream, and look, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to 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?”
When he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him, and said to him, "What is this dream that you had? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come and bow down to the ground in front of you?"
11 उनका दाजुहरूले उनको ईर्ष्या गर्न लागे, तर उनका बुबाले यो विषयलाई आफ्नो मनमा नै राखे ।
His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept thinking about the matter.
12 उनका दाजुहरू आफ्ना बुबाका भेडाबाख्राहरूका बगाललाई चराउन शकेममा गएका थिए ।
Now his brothers went to pasture their father's flock near Shechem.
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, "Aren't your brothers pasturing the flock near Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them." And he said to him, "I am ready."
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 ।
So he said to him, "Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers and well with the flock, and report back to me." So he sent him from the Valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 एक जना मानिसले योसेफलाई भेट्टाए । योसेफ खेतमा डुलिरहेका थिए । त्यस मानिसले उनलाई सोधे, “तिमी के खोजिरहेका छौ?”
And a man found him, and look, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, "What are you looking for?"
16 योसेफले भने, “म मेरा दाजुहरूलाई खोजिरहेको छु । उहाँहरूले बगाल कहाँ चराउँदै हुनुहुन्छ कृपया मलाई बताउनुहोस् ।”
He said, "I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock."
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 ।
The man said, "They have left here, for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.'" So Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
18 तिनीहरूले उनलाई टाढैबाट आइरहेको देखे, र उनी तिनीहरूका नजिक आइपुग्नअगि नै तिनीहरूले उनलाई मार्ने मतो गरे ।
Now they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them they plotted against him to kill him.
19 उनका दाजुहरूले एक-अर्कासँग भने, “हेर, त्यो स्वप्न-दर्शी आउँदै छ ।
And they said to one another, "Look, this dreamer is coming.
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 now, and let's kill him and throw him into one of the cisterns, and we will say that a vicious animal has devoured him. Then we will see what will become of his dreams."
21 रूबेनले यो सुने र उनलाई तिनीहरूका हातबाट बचाए । उनले भने, “हामी त्यसको प्राण नलिऔँ ।”
But Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hands, and said, "Let's not take his life."
22 तिनीहरूका हातबाट बचाई आफ्ना बुबाकहाँ ल्याउने योजना राखी रूबेनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “रगत नबगाऔँ । मरुभूमिको खाडलमा त्यसलाई फ्याँकिदेओ, तर त्यसमाथि हात नउठाओ ।”
Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him"—that he might deliver him out of their hands, to restore him to his father.
23 जब योसेफ दाजुहरूकहाँ आइपुगे, तिनीहरूले उनको त्यो सुन्दर वस्त्र च्यातिदिए ।
It happened, when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his robe, the long ornamented robe that he was wearing.
24 तिनीहरूले उनलाई पक्रेर खाडलमा फ्याँकिदिए । त्यो खाडलमा पानी थिएन र त्यो सुक्खा थियो ।
And they took him and threw him into the cistern. (Now the pit was empty. There was no water in it.)
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 ।
Then they sat down to eat a meal. And they looked up, and look, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing aromatic gum and balm and myrrh on their way to carry them down to Egypt.
26 यहूदाले आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूलाई भने, “हामीले आफ्नो भाइलाई मारेर त्यसको रगत लुकाएर हामीलाई के फाइदा?
Then Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is it if we 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 ।
Come, and let's sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not lay a hand on him, for he is our brother, our flesh." And his brothers agreed.
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 ।
So the Midianites merchants passed by, and they pulled him up and lifted Joseph out of the cistern, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph to Egypt.
29 पछि रूबेन त्यस खाडलमा फर्केर गए, तर योसेफ भने खाडलमा थिएनन् । उनले आफ्ना लुगाहरू च्याते ।
And Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph wasn't in the cistern; and he tore his clothes.
30 उनी आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूकहाँ फर्के र भने, “त्यो केटो त त्यहाँ छैन! अब म कहाँ जाऊँ?”
He went back to his brothers and said, "The boy is gone. Now, what am I to do?"
31 तिनीहरूले एउटा बोका मारे अनि त्यसपछि योसेफको वस्त्र लिएर त्यसलाई रगतमा चोपे।
They took Joseph's robe and killed a male goat and dipped the robe in 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 long ornamented robe and they brought it to their father, and said, "We found this. Please examine it to see whether it is your son's robe 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 he recognized it, and said, "It is my son's robe. A vicious animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces."
34 याकूबले आफ्ना वस्त्र च्याते र आफ्नो कम्मरमा भाङ्ग्रा लगाए । तिनले आफ्ना छोराको निम्ति धेरै दिनसम्म शोक गरे ।
Then Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth around his waist, 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)
All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. And he said, "Indeed, I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning." And his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 मिद्यानीहरूले उनलाई मिश्रमा फारोका एक अधिकृत अर्थात् अङ्गरक्षकहरूका कप्तान पोतीफरका हातमा बेचिदिए ।
Now the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.
