उत्पत्ति 43

1 देशमा अति भयानक अनिकाल परेको थियो ।

Now the land was in bitter need of food.

2 तिनीहरूले मिश्रबाट ल्याएका अनाज खाइसकेपछि तिनीहरूका पिताले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “फेरि हाम्रो लागि अन्‍न किन्‍नलाई जाओ ।”

And when the grain which they had got in Egypt was all used up, their father said to them, Go again and get us a little food.

3 यहूदाले भने, “ती मानिसले हामीलाई गम्भीरतापूर्वक चेताउनी दिएका छन्, 'तिमीहरूले आफ्ना भाइलाई सँगै ल्याएनौ भने तिमीहरूले मेरो मुहार हेर्नेछैनौ ।'

And Judah said to him, The man said to us with an oath, You are not to come before me again without your brother.

4 तपाईंले हाम्रा भाइलाई हामिसितै पठाउनुभयो भने हामी तल झरेर तपाईंका लागि अन्‍न किन्‍नेछौँ ।

If you will let our brother go with us, we will go down and get food:

5 तर तपाईंले तिनलाई पठाउनुभएन भने हामी तल जाँदैनौँ । किनभने ती मानिसले हामीलाई भनेका छन् 'तिमीहरूले आफ्ना भाइलाई सँगै ल्याएनौ भने तिमीहरूले मेरो मुहार हेर्नेछैनौ' ।”

But if you will not send him, we will not go down: for the man said to us, You are not to come before me if your brother is not with you.

6 इस्राएलले भने, “तिमीहरूको अर्को भाइ थियो भनी ती मानिसलाई बताएर तिमीहरूले किन ममाथि सङ्कष्‍ट ल्यायौ?”

And Israel said, Why were you so cruel to me as to say to him that you had a brother?

7 तिनीहरूले भने, “ती मानिसले हामी र हाम्रो परिवारको बारेमा सबै कुरा सोधपुछ गरे । तिनले भने, 'के तपाईंका पिता अझै जीवितै हुनुहुन्छ? के तिमीहरूको अर्को भाइ छ?' हामीले तिनका प्रश्‍नहरूको जवाफ मात्र दिएका हौँ । तिनले 'तिमीहरूका भाइलाई पनि सँगै लिएर आओ' भन्छन् भनी हामीले कसरी जान्‍न सक्थ्यौँ र?

And they said, The man put a number of questions to us about ourselves and our family, saying, Is your father still living? have you another brother? And we had to give him answers; how were we to have any idea that he would say, Come back with your brother?

8 यहूदाले आफ्ना पिता इस्राएललाई भने, “केटोलाई मसितै पठाउनुहोस् । तपाईं, हामी र हाम्रा छोराछोरीहरू बाँच्न सकून् भनी हामी उठेर गइहाल्नेछौँ ।

Then Judah said to Israel, his father, Send the boy with me, and let us be up and going, so that we and you and our little ones may not come to destruction.

9 म तिनको जमानी हुनेछु । तपाईंले मसित लेखा लिनुहुनेछ । मैले तिनलाई तपाईंकहाँ फर्काएर तपाईंको सामु ल्याइनँ भने म सदाको लागि त्यसको दोषी हुनेछु ।

Put him into my care and make me responsible for him: if I do not give him safely back to you, let mine be the sin for ever.

10 किनकि हामीले ढिला नगरेका भए निश्‍चय नै अहिलेसम्म त हामी दोस्रो पटक यहाँ फर्किसकेका हुने थियौँ ।”

Truly, if we had not let the time go by, we might have come back again by now.

11 तिनीहरूका पिता इस्राएलले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “त्यसो हो भने, अब यसो गर । तिमीहरूका झोलाहरूमा यस देशमा सबैभन्दा उत्तम उब्जनीहरू हाल । ती मानिसलाई यी उपहारहरू लिएर जाओः सुगन्धित लेप, मह, मसला र मूर्र, पेस्ता र हाडे-बदाम ।

Then their father Israel said to them, If it has to be so, then do this: take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels to give the man, perfumes and honey and spices and nuts:

12 तिमीहरूले दुई गुणा रुपियाँ-पैसा पनि लिएर जाओ । तिमीहरूका बोरा खोल्दा मुखमा फेला परेका रुपियाँ-पैसा पनि सँगै लिएर जाओ । सायद त्यो भुल थियो ।

And take twice as much money with you; that is to say, take back the money which was put in your bags, for it may have been an error;

13 तिमीहरूका भाइलाई पनि सँगै लैजाओ । उठेर फेरि ती मानिसकहाँ जाओ ।

And take your brother and go back to the man:

14 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्‍वरले ती मानिसको सामु तिमीहरूलाई कृपा देखाऊन् ताकि तिनले तिमीहरूका अर्का दाजु र बेन्यामीनलाई छुटकारा दिऊन् । मेरा सन्तानहरूको कारणले म शोकित हुनैपर्छ भने म हुँला ।”

And may God, the Ruler of all, give you mercy before the man, so that he may give you back your other brother and Benjamin. If my children are to be taken from me; there is no help for it.

15 ती मानिसहरूले उपहार, दुई गुणा रुपियाँ-पैसा र बेन्यामीनलाई लिए, र तिनीहरू उठेर मिश्रतर्फ झरे, अनि योसेफको सामु हाजिर भए ।

So they took what their father said for the man, and twice as much money in their hands, and Benjamin, and went on their journey to Egypt, and came before Joseph.

16 योसेफले तिनीहरूसँगै बेन्यामीनलाई देखेपछि तिनले आफ्नो घरको भण्डारेलाई भने, “ती मानिसहरूलाई घरभित्र ल्याओ, र एउटा पशु काटेर भोज तयार पार किनकि दिउँसो यी मानिसहरूले मसँगै खानेछन् ।”

And when Joseph saw Benjamin, he said to his chief servant, Take these men into my house, and make ready a meal, for they will take food with me in the middle of the day.

17 त्यस भण्डारले योसेफले भनेजस्तो गर्‍यो । त्यसले ती मानिसहरूलाई योसेफको घरभित्र ल्यायो ।

And the servant did as Joseph said, and took the men into Joseph's house.

18 ती मानिसहरू योसेफको घरमा लगिएकाले तिनीहरू डराए । तिनीहरूले भने, “पहिलो पटक हाम्रा बोराहरूमा फर्काइएको रुपियाँ-पैसाको कारण हामीलाई यहाँ ल्याइएको हो । तिनले हाम्रो विरुद्धमा मौका खोजेका हुन सक्छन् । तिनले हामीलाई गिरफ्तार गरी दास बनाउन सक्छन्, हाम्रा गधाहरू लैजान सक्छन् ।”

Now the men were full of fear because they had been taken into Joseph's house and they said, It is because of the money which was put back in our bags the first time; he is looking for something against us, so that he may come down on us and take us and our asses for his use.

19 तिनीहरू योसेफको घरको भण्डारेकहाँ गए, र घरको ढोकामा तिनीहरूले उसलाई भने,

So they went up to Joseph's chief servant at the door of the house,

20 “हजुर, हामी पहिलो पटक अन्‍न किन्‍न आयौँ ।

And said, O my lord, we only came down the first time to get food;

21 हामी विश्राम स्थलमा पुग्यौँ, अनि बोराहरू खोल्दा हरेकको रुपियाँ-पैसा हरेकको बोराको मुखैमा थियो । त्यहाँ हाम्रा सबै रुपियाँ-पैसा थिए । हामीले ती हामीसँगै ल्याएका छौँ । अन्‍न किन्‍नलाई हामीले थप रुपियाँ-पैसा पनि ल्याएका छौँ ।

And when we came to our night's resting-place, on opening our bags we saw that every man's money was in the mouth of his bag, all our money in full weight: and we have it with us to give it back;

22 हाम्रा रुपियाँ-पैसा हाम्रा बोराहरूमा कसले राखिदियो भनी हामीलाई थाहा छैन ।”

As well as more money, with which to get food: we have no idea who put our money in our bags.

23 भण्डारेले भन्यो, “तपाईंहरूलाई शान्ति होस् । नडराउनुहोस् । तपाईंका परमेश्‍वर र तपाईंका पिताका परमेश्‍वरले नै तपाईंका बोराहरूमा तपाईंहरूको रुपियाँ-पैसा हालिदिएको हुनुपर्छ । मैले तपाईंहरूको रुपियाँ-पैसा त पाएकै थिएँ ।” त्यसपछि भण्डारेले शिमियोनलाई तिनीहरूकहाँ ल्यायो ।

Then the servant said, Peace be with you: have no fear: your God, even the God of your father, has put wealth in your bags for you: I had your money. Then he let Simeon come out to them.

24 भण्डारेले ती मानिसहरूलाई योसेफको घरभित्र लग्यो । त्यसले पानी दियो, र तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्ना गोडा धोए । त्यसले तिनीहरूका गधाहरूलाई पनि दानापानी दियो ।

And the servant took them into Joseph's house, and gave them water for washing their feet; and he gave their asses food.

25 तिनीहरूले दिउँसो योसेफको आगमनको लागि उपहारहरू तयार पारिराखे, किनकि तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ सँगसँगै खाने थिए भनी तिनीहरूले सुनेका थिए ।

And they got ready the things for Joseph before he came in the middle of the day: for word was given to them that they were to have a meal there.

26 योसेफ घरमा आउँदा तिनीहरूले आफ्ना हातमा भएका उपहारहरू घरभित्र ल्याए, र भुइँसम्मै निहुरेर तिनलाई ढोग गरे ।

And when Joseph came in, they gave him the things which they had for him, and went down to the earth before him.

27 तिनले तिनीहरूको भलाकुसारीको बारेमा सोधपुछ गरे, “तपाईंहरूले बताउनुभएका तपाईंहरूका वृद्ध पिता सञ्चै हुनुहुन्छ? के तिनी अझै जीवितै छन्?”

And he said, How are you? is your father well, the old man of whom you were talking to me? is he still living?

28 तिनीहरूले भने, “तपाईंका दास हाम्रा पिता सञ्चै हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँ अझै जीवितै हुनुहुन्छ ।” तिनीहरू भुइँमा लमतन्‍न परेर तिनलाई ढोग गरे ।

And they said, Your servant, our father, is well, he is still living. And they went down on their faces before him.

29 तिनले आफ्ना आँखा उठाउँदा तिनले आफ्नी आमाका छोरा आफ्ना भाइ बेन्यामीनलाई देखेपछि तिनले भने, “तिमीहरूले मलाई बताएको तिमीहरूका कान्छा भाइ यिनै हुन्?” त्यसपछि तिनले भने, “मेरा छोरा, तिमीमाथि परमेश्‍वर अनुग्रही हुनुभएको होस्!”

Then, lifting up his eyes, he saw Benjamin, his brother, his mother's son, and he said, Is this your youngest brother of whom you gave me word? And he said, God be good to you, my son.

30 योसेफ कोठाबाट बाहिर जान हतारिए किनकि तिनी आफ्ना भाइको बारेमा स्‍नेहले भरिएका थिए । तिनले रुने ठाउँ खोजे । तिनी आफ्नो कोठाभित्र पसी रोए ।

Then Joseph's heart went out to his brother, and he went quickly into his room, for he was overcome with weeping.

31 आफ्नो मुख धोई तिनी बाहिर आए । आफूलाई नियन्त्रण गर्दै तिनले भने, “खाना ल्याओ ।”

Then, after washing his face, he came out, and controlling his feelings said, Put food before us.

32 नोकरहरूले योसेफको लागि छुट्टै र तिनका दाजुहरूका लागि छुट्टै खाना पस्के । मिश्रीहरूले छुट्टै खाना खाए किनकि तिनीहरूले हिब्रूहरूसित खान सक्दैनथे। त्यसो गर्नु मिश्रीहरूका लागि अत्यन्तै घृणित कुरो थियो ।

And they put a meal ready for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who were with him by themselves; because the Egyptians may not take food with the Hebrews, for that would make them unclean.

33 दाजुहरू योसेफका सामु बसे । तिनीहरू जेठादेखि कान्छासम्म मिलेर बसेका थिए । तिनीहरू सबै सँगसँगै छक्‍क परेका थिए ।

And they were all given their seats before him in order of birth, from the oldest to the youngest: so that they were looking at one another in wonder.

34 आफ्नो सामु पस्किएको खानाको केही भाग योसेफले तिनीहरूकहाँ पठाए । तर बेन्यामीनको भागचाहिँ अरू कुनै दाजुहरूको भन्दा पाँच गुणा बेसी थियो । तिनीहरूले पिए र तिनीहरू तिनीसँगै खुसी भए ।

And Joseph sent food to them from his table, but he sent five times as much to Benjamin as to any of the others. And they took wine freely with him.
