उत्पत्ति 37
1 याकूब आफ्ना बुबा बसोबास गर्दै आएका कनान देशमा बस्दथे ।
And Jacob dwelleth in the land of his father's sojournings — 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] births of Jacob: Joseph, a son of seventeen years, hath been enjoying himself with his brethren among the flock, (and he [is] a youth, ) with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives, and Joseph bringeth in an account of their evil unto their father.
3 इस्राएलले आफ्ना सबै छोराहरूमध्ये योसेफलाई धेरै माया गर्दथे किनभने उनी तिनका बुढेसकालका छोरा थिए । तिनले उनको निम्ति एउटा सुन्दर वस्त्र बनाइदिए ।
And Israel hath loved Joseph more than any of his sons, for he [is] a son of his old age, and hath made for him a long coat;
4 उनका दाजुहरूले तिनीहरूका बुबाले उनलाई सबै दाजुभाइहरूभन्दा धेरै माया गरेका देखे । तिनीहरूले योसेफलाई घृणा गर्थे र उनीसँग राम्ररी बोल्दैनथे ।
and his brethren see that their father hath loved him more than any of his brethren, and they hate him, and have not been able to speak [to] him peaceably.
5 योसेफले एउटा सपना देखे जसको विषयमा उनले आफ्ना दाजुहरूलाई बताए । त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले उनलाई झनै धेरै घृणा गरे ।
And Joseph dreameth a dream, and declareth to his brethren, and they add still more to hate him.
6 उनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “कृपया मैले देखेको सपनालाई सुन्नुहोस् ।
And he saith unto them, 'Hear ye, I pray you, 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 ।”
that, lo, we are binding bundles in the midst of the field, and lo, my bundle hath arisen, and hath also stood up, and lo, your bundles are round about, and bow themselves to my bundle.'
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 say to him, 'Dost thou certainly reign over us? dost thou certainly rule over us?' and they add still more to hate him, 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 dreameth yet another dream, and recounteth it to his brethren, and saith, 'Lo, I have dreamed a dream again, and lo, the sun and the moon, and eleven stars, are bowing themselves 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?”
And he recounteth unto his father, and unto his brethren; and his father pusheth against him, and saith to him, 'What [is] this dream which thou hast dreamt? do we certainly come — I, and thy mother, and thy brethren — to bow ourselves to thee, to the earth?'
11 उनका दाजुहरूले उनको ईर्ष्या गर्न लागे, तर उनका बुबाले यो विषयलाई आफ्नो मनमा नै राखे ।
and his brethren are zealous against him, and his father hath watched the matter.
12 उनका दाजुहरू आफ्ना बुबाका भेडाबाख्राहरूका बगाललाई चराउन शकेममा गएका थिए ।
And his brethren go to feed the flock of their father in 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 saith unto Joseph, 'Are not thy brethren feeding in Shechem? come, and I send thee unto them;' and he saith to him, 'Here [am] I;'
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 he saith to him, 'Go, I pray thee, see the peace of thy brethren, and the peace of the flock, and bring me back word;' and he sendeth him from the valley of Hebron, and he cometh to Shechem.
15 एक जना मानिसले योसेफलाई भेट्टाए । योसेफ खेतमा डुलिरहेका थिए । त्यस मानिसले उनलाई सोधे, “तिमी के खोजिरहेका छौ?”
And a man findeth him, and lo, he is wandering in the field, and the man asketh him, saying, 'What seekest thou?'
16 योसेफले भने, “म मेरा दाजुहरूलाई खोजिरहेको छु । उहाँहरूले बगाल कहाँ चराउँदै हुनुहुन्छ कृपया मलाई बताउनुहोस् ।”
and he saith, 'My brethren I am seeking, declare to me, I pray thee, where they are feeding?'
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 saith, 'They have journeyed from this, for I have heard some saying, Let us go to Dothan,' and Joseph goeth after his brethren, and findeth them in Dothan.
18 तिनीहरूले उनलाई टाढैबाट आइरहेको देखे, र उनी तिनीहरूका नजिक आइपुग्नअगि नै तिनीहरूले उनलाई मार्ने मतो गरे ।
And they see him from afar, even before he draweth near unto them, and they conspire against him to put him to death.
19 उनका दाजुहरूले एक-अर्कासँग भने, “हेर, त्यो स्वप्न-दर्शी आउँदै छ ।
And they say one unto another, 'Lo, this man of the dreams 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 ।”
and now, come, and we slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and have said, An evil beast hath devoured him; and we see what his dreams are.'
21 रूबेनले यो सुने र उनलाई तिनीहरूका हातबाट बचाए । उनले भने, “हामी त्यसको प्राण नलिऔँ ।”
And Reuben heareth, and delivereth him out of their hand, and saith, 'Let us not smite the life;'
22 तिनीहरूका हातबाट बचाई आफ्ना बुबाकहाँ ल्याउने योजना राखी रूबेनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “रगत नबगाऔँ । मरुभूमिको खाडलमा त्यसलाई फ्याँकिदेओ, तर त्यसमाथि हात नउठाओ ।”
and Reuben saith unto them, 'Shed no blood; cast him into this pit which [is] in the wilderness, and put not forth a hand upon him,' — in order to deliver him out of their hand, to bring him back unto his father.
23 जब योसेफ दाजुहरूकहाँ आइपुगे, तिनीहरूले उनको त्यो सुन्दर वस्त्र च्यातिदिए ।
And it cometh to pass, when Joseph hath come unto his brethren, that they strip Joseph of his coat, the long coat which [is] upon him,
24 तिनीहरूले उनलाई पक्रेर खाडलमा फ्याँकिदिए । त्यो खाडलमा पानी थिएन र त्यो सुक्खा थियो ।
and take him and cast him into the pit, and the pit [is] empty, there is 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 ।
And they sit down to eat bread, and they lift up their eyes, and look, and lo, a company of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, and their camels bearing spices, and balm, and myrrh, going to take [them] down to Egypt.
26 यहूदाले आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूलाई भने, “हामीले आफ्नो भाइलाई मारेर त्यसको रगत लुकाएर हामीलाई के फाइदा?
And Judah saith unto his brethren, 'What gain when we slay our brother, and have concealed 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 we sell him to the Ishmaelites, and our hands are not on him, for he [is] our brother — our flesh;' and his brethren hearken.
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 Midianite merchantmen pass by and they draw out and bring up Joseph out of the pit, and sell Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty silverlings, and they bring Joseph into Egypt.
29 पछि रूबेन त्यस खाडलमा फर्केर गए, तर योसेफ भने खाडलमा थिएनन् । उनले आफ्ना लुगाहरू च्याते ।
And Reuben returneth unto the pit, and lo, Joseph is not in the pit, and he rendeth his garments,
30 उनी आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूकहाँ फर्के र भने, “त्यो केटो त त्यहाँ छैन! अब म कहाँ जाऊँ?”
and he returneth unto his brethren, and saith, 'The lad is not, and I — whither am I going?'
31 तिनीहरूले एउटा बोका मारे अनि त्यसपछि योसेफको वस्त्र लिएर त्यसलाई रगतमा चोपे।
And they take the coat of Joseph, and slaughter a kid of the goats, and dip the coat in the blood,
32 त्यस वस्त्रलाई तिनीहरूले आफ्ना बुबाकहाँ ल्याएर भने, “हामीले यो भेट्टायौँ । कृपया यो तपाईंको छोराको लुगा हो कि होइन हेर्नुहोस् ।”
and send the long coat, and they bring [it] in unto their father, and say, 'This have we found; discern, we pray thee, whether it [is] 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 he discerneth it, and saith, 'My son's coat! an evil beast hath devoured him; torn — torn is Joseph!'
34 याकूबले आफ्ना वस्त्र च्याते र आफ्नो कम्मरमा भाङ्ग्रा लगाए । तिनले आफ्ना छोराको निम्ति धेरै दिनसम्म शोक गरे ।
And Jacob rendeth his raiment, and putteth sackcloth on his loins, and becometh a mourner 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 all his daughters rise to comfort him, and he refuseth to comfort himself, and saith, 'For — I go down mourning unto my son, to Sheol,' and his father weepeth for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 मिद्यानीहरूले उनलाई मिश्रमा फारोका एक अधिकृत अर्थात् अङ्गरक्षकहरूका कप्तान पोतीफरका हातमा बेचिदिए ।
And the Medanites have sold him unto Egypt, to Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners.
