उत्पत्ति 42

1 अब मिश्रमा अनाज पाइँदोरहेछ भनी याकूबलाई थाहा भयो । तिनले आफ्ना छोराहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरू किन एक-अर्कालाई हेर्छौ?”

Now Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt. And Jacob said to his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?

2 तिनले भने, “मिश्रमा अनाज छ भनी मैले सुनेको छु । हामी जीवित रहनको लागि तल गएर हाम्रो लागि अनाज किन ।”

And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Get you down there, and buy for us from there, that we may live, and not die.

3 योसेफका दस जना दाजु मिश्रमा अनाज किन्‍नका लागि गए ।

And Joseph's ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.

4 तर याकूबले योसेफका भाइ बेन्यामीनलाई तिनका दाजुहरूसँगै पठाएनन् किनकि तिनीमाथि कुनै हानि आइपर्ला कि भनी तिनी डराए ।

But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob did not send with his brothers, for he said, Lest perhaps harm befall him.

5 किन्‍न आउनेहरूमध्ये इस्राएलका छोराहरू पनि थिए किनकि कनान देशमा पनि अनिकाल परेको थियो ।

And the sons of Israel came to buy among those who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

6 योसेफ मिश्रका अधिपति थिए । तिनले देशका सबै मानिसलाई अनाज बेच्थे । योसेफका दाजुहरू आए, र तिनीहरूले भुइँसम्मै निहुरेर तिनलाई ढोग गरे ।

And Joseph was the governor over the land. It was he who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brothers came, and bowed down themselves to him with their faces to the earth.

7 योसेफले आफ्ना दाजुहरूलाई देखेर चिने, तर तिनले नचिनेका जस्तै गरी तिनीहरूसित कडासँग बोले । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरू कहाँबाट आएका हौ?” तिनीहरूले भने, “अनाज किन्‍नका लागि कनान देशबाट आएका हौँ ।”

And Joseph saw his brothers, and he knew them, but made himself foreign to them, and spoke roughly with them. And he said to them. From where come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.

8 योसेफले आफ्ना दाजुहरूलाई चिने, तर तिनीहरूले भने तिनलाई चिनेनन् ।

And Joseph knew his brothers, but they did not know him.

9 त्यसपछि योसेफले तिनीहरूको बारेमा आफूले देखेका सपनाहरू सम्झे र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरू जासुस हौ । तिमीहरू यो देशका असुरक्षित भागहरू हेर्न आएका हौ ।”

And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them. And said to them, Ye are spies; ye have come to see the nakedness of the land.

10 तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “त्यसो होइन, हजुर । तपाईंका दासहरू अनाज किन्‍न आएका हुन् । हामी सबै एउटै मानिसका छोराहरू हौँ ।

And they said to him, No, my lord, but thy servants have come to buy food.

11 हामी इमानदार मानिसहरू हौँ । हामी तपाईंका दासहरू जासुस होइनौँ ।”

We are all one man's sons. We are true men. Thy servants are no spies.

12 तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरू यो देशका असुरक्षित भागहरू हेर्न आएका हौ ।”

And he said to them, No, but ye have come to see the nakedness of the land.

13 तिनीहरूले भने, “हामी तपाईंका दासहरू बार्‍ह जना दाजुभाइ छौँ र हामी कनान देशका एउटै मानिसका छोराहरू हौँ । हेर्नुहोस्, कान्छोचाहिँ अहिले हाम्रा पितासित छन् र एक जना भाइचाहिँ अब जिउँदो छैनन् ।”

And they said, We thy servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. And, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.

14 योसेफले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “त्यसैले मैले तिमीहरूलाई भनेँ कि तिमीहरू जासुस हौ ।

And Joseph said to them, This is that which I spoke to you, saying, Ye are spies.

15 यसैद्वारा तिमीहरूको जाँच हुनेछ । फारोको शपथ खाएर म भन्दछु कि तिमीहरूका कान्छा भाइ यहाँ नआउञ्‍जेलसम्म तिमीहरू यहाँबाट जान पाउनेछैनौ ।

By this ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth from here unless your youngest brother comes here.

16 तिमीहरूमध्ये कोही एक जना गएर तिनलाई लिएर आऊ । तिमीहरूको वचन सत्य छ कि छैन भनेर जाँच गर्नको लागि तिमीहरू झ्यालखानामा हालिन्छौ ।”

Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother. And ye shall be bound, that your words may be proved, whether there be truth in you, or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.

17 तिनले तिनीहरू सबैलाई तिन दिनसम्म कैदखानामा राखे ।

And he put them all together into ward three days.

18 तेस्रो दिनमा याकूबले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “यसो गर, र तिमीहरू बाँच्नेछौ किनकि म परमेश्‍वरदेखि डराउँछु ।

And Joseph said to them the third day, This do, and live, for I fear God:

19 तिमीहरू इमानदार मानिस हौ भने एक जनालाई यही झ्यालखानामा छोड, र तिमीहरूचाहिँ जाओ । तिमीहरूका परिवारहरूका लागि आफूसित अनाज पनि लिएर जाओ ।

If ye be true men, let one of your brothers be bound in your prison house, but go ye, carry grain for the famine of your houses,

20 तिमीहरूका कान्छा भाइ मकहाँ लिएर आओ र तिमीहरूको कुरा साँचो ठहरिनेछ अनि तिमीहरू मर्नेछैनौ ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरूले त्यसै गरे ।

and bring your youngest brother to me. So shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.

21 तिनीहरूले एक-अर्कालाई भने, “हाम्रा भाइको सम्बन्धमा हामी साँच्‍चै दोषी छौँ किनकि तिनले हामीसित बिन्ती गर्दा तिनको व्याकुलता हामीले देख्यौँ तापनि हामीले तिनको कुरा सुनेनौँ । त्यसैले यो व्याकुलता हामीमाथि आइपरेको हो ।”

And they said one to another, We are truly guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul when he besought us, and we would not hear. Therefore this distress has come upon us.

22 रूबेनले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिए, “'त्यस केटोको विरुद्धमा पाप नगर' भनेर के मैले तिमीहरूलाई भनेको थिइनँ र? तर तिमीहरूले मेरो कुरा सुनेनौँ । अब हामीले त्यसको रगतको बदला भोग्‍नुपर्छ ।

And Reuben answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Sin not against the child, and ye would not hear? Therefore also, behold, his blood is required.

23 योसेफले तिनीहरूका कुरा बुझे भनी तिनीहरूले थाहा पाएनन् किनकि तिनीहरूका बिचमा अर्थ खोल्ने व्यक्ति थियो ।

And they did not know that Joseph understood them, for there was an interpreter between them.

24 तिनी तिनीहरूबाट एकातिर गई रोए । तिनीहरूकहाँ फर्केर आई तिनले तिनीहरूसित कुराकानी गरे । तिनले तिनीहरूका बिचबाट शिमियोनलाई लिएर तिनीहरूकै आँखाका सामु तिनलाई बाँधे ।

And he turned himself around from them, and wept. And he returned to them, and spoke to them, and took Simeon from among them, and bound him before their eyes.

25 त्यसपछि योसेफले आफ्ना दाजुहरूका झोलाहरू अनाजले भरी हरेकको रुपियाँ-पैसा उसकै बोराभित्र हाल्न र यात्राको लागि सरसामानको बन्दोवस्त गरिदिन आफ्ना नोकरहरूलाई आज्ञा गरे ।

Then Joseph commanded to fill their vessels with grain, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provisions for the way. And thus it was done to them.

26 आफ्ना गधाहरूमा अनाज लादेर तिनका दाजुहरू त्यहाँबाट प्रस्थान गरे ।

And they loaded their donkeys with their grain, and departed from there.

27 विश्राम स्थलमा आफ्नो गधालाई दाना दिनलाई बोरा खोल्दा एक जनाले आफ्नो रुपियाँ-पैसा देखे । यो तिनको बोराको मुखैमा थियो ।

And as one of them opened his sack to give his donkey provender in the lodging place, he saw his money, and, behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.

28 तिनले आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरुलाई भने, “मेरो रुपियाँ-पैसा त फिर्ता गरिएको रहेछ । हेर त, यो त मेरै बोराभित्र छ ।” तिनीहरूको हंसले ठाउँ छाड्यो । तिनीहरू डरले काम्दै यसो भने, “परमेश्‍वरले यो हामीलाई के गर्नुभएको?”

And he said to his brothers, My money is restored, and, lo, it is even in my sack. And their heart failed them, and they turned trembling one to another, saying, What is this that God has done to us?

29 तिनीहरू कनानमा आफ्ना पिता याकूबकहाँ फर्केर तिनीहरूमाथि आइपरेका सबै कुरा बताइदिए । तिनीहरूले भने,

And they came to Jacob their father to the land of Canaan, and told him all that had befallen them, saying,

30 “त्यस देशका मालिकले हामीसित कठोरतापूर्वक बोले र हामी त्यहाँ जासुस भएर गएका थियौँ भनी ठाने ।

The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly with us, and took us for spies of the country.

31 हामीले तिनलाई भन्यौँ, 'हामी इमानदार मानिसहरू हौँ । हामी जासुस होइनौँ ।

And we said to him, We are true men, and we are no spies.

32 हामी बार्‍ह जना दाजुभाइ छौँ, र एउटै पिताका छोराहरू हौँ । एक जना अब जीवित छैन र कान्छोचाहिँ अहिले कनानमा हाम्रा पितासितै छन् ।'

We are twelve brothers, sons of our father. One is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.

33 त्यस देशका मालिकले हामीलाई भने, 'यसैद्वारा तिमीहरू इमानदार मानिस हौ कि होइनौ भनेर म थाहा पाउनेछु । तिमीहरूमध्ये एक जना यहीँ बस, अनिकालको कारणले गर्दा तिमीहरूका परिवारहरूका लागि अनाज लिएर आफ्नो बाटो लाग ।

And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, By this I shall know that ye are true men. Leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for the famine of your houses, and go your way,

34 तिमीहरूका कान्छो भाइ मकहाँ लिएर आओ । तब तिमीहरू जासुस नभई इमानदार मानिस रहेछौ भनी मैले थाहा पाउनेछु । त्यसपछि म तिमीहरूका दाजुलाई छाडिदिनेछु र तिमीहरू यस देशमा व्यापार गरेर बस' ।”

and bring your youngest brother to me. Then I shall know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men. So I will deliver your brother to you, and ye shall trade in the land.

35 तिनीहरूले आफ्ना बोराहरू खोल्दा हरेकको बोराभित्र चाँदीको पोको रहेछ । तिनीहरू र तिनीहरूका पिताले चाँदीको पोको देखेपछि तिनीहरू डराए । तिनीहरूका पिता

And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack. And when they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were afraid.

36 याकूबले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले मबाट मेरा सन्तानहरू खोसेर मलाई शोकित तुल्याएका छौ । योसेफ अब जीवित छैन, शिमियोन पनि छैन र तिमीहरूले बेन्यामीन पनि मबाट लैजानेछौ । यी सबै कुरा मेरो विरुद्धमा छन् ।”

And Jacob their father said to them, Ye have bereaved me of my sons. Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away. All these things are against me.

37 रूबनले आफ्ना पितालाई यसो भने, “मैले बेन्यामीन तपाईंकहाँ फर्काएर ल्याइनँ भने तपाईंले मेरा दुई छोरालाई मार्न सक्‍नुहुन्छ । तिनलाई मेरो जिम्मामा सुम्पिदिनुस्, र म तिनलाई फेरि तपाईंकहाँ ल्याउनेछु ।”

And Reuben spoke to his father, saying, Kill my two sons if I do not bring him to thee. Deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.

38 याकूबले भने, “मेरो छोरो तिमीहरूसितै तल जानेछैन । किनकि तिनका दाजु मरिसके र तिनी एक्लै छन् । तिमीहरू जाने बाटोमा तिनीमाथि कुनै खतरा आइपर्‍यो भने तिमीहरूले मेरो फुलेको कपाललाई शोकसँगै पातालमा पुर्‍याउनेछौ ।” (Sheol h7585)

And he said, My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he only is left. If harm befalls him by the way in which ye go, then ye will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
