उत्पत्ति 44

1 योसेफले तिनको घरको भण्डारेलाई आज्ञा दिए, “ती मानिसहरूले लैजान सक्‍नेजति अनाज तिनीहरूका बोराहरूमा भरिदेऊ, र हरेकको बोराको मुखमा हरेकको रुपियाँ-पैसा पनि हालिदेऊ ।

And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth.

2 कान्छोको बोराको मुखमा मेरो चाँदीको कचौरा र तिनले अनाजको लागि ल्याएको रुपियाँ-पैसा पनि हालिदेऊ ।” भण्डारेले योसेफले भनेझैँ गर्‍यो ।

And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his grain money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.

3 बिहान भएपछि ती मानिसहरू आ-आफ्ना गधाहरूसँगै पठाइए ।

As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.

4 तिनीहरू सहरबाट केही पर पुग्दा योसेफले आफ्नो भण्डारेलाई भने, “उठ, र ती मानिसहरूको पिछा गर । तिनीहरूलाई भेट्टाएपछि यसो भन्‍नू, 'किन तिमीहरूले भलाइको सट्टा खराबी गर्‍यौ?

And when they were gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, Up, follow after the men, and when thou overtake them, say to them, Why have ye rewarded evil for good?

5 के यो त्यही कचौरा होइन जसबाट मेरा मालिकले पिउनुहुन्छ र शकून-अपशकूनको लागि प्रयोग गर्नुहुन्छ? तपाईंहरूले जे गर्नुभएको छ त्यो खराब छ' ।”

Is not this that in which my lord drinks, and how he indeed divines? Ye have done evil in so doing.

6 भण्डारेले तिनीहरूलाई भेट्टायो, र तिनहरूलाई ती वचनहरू भन्यो ।

And he overtook them, and he spoke to them these words.

7 तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई भने, “किन मेरा मालिकले यस्ता कुराहरू गर्नुहुन्छ? तपाईंका दासहरूले कहिल्यै यस्तो कुरा गर्न सक्दैनन् ।

And they said to him, Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from thy servants that they should do such a thing.

8 हामीले हाम्रा बोराहरूका मुखमा फेला पारेका रुपियाँ-पैसा त हामीले कनान देशबाट फेरि तपाईंकहाँ फर्काएर ल्यायौँ । तब कसरी हामीले हाम्रा मालिकको घरबाट चाँदी वा सुन चोर्न सक्छौँ?

Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again to thee out of the land of Canaan. How then would we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?

9 तपाईंको कुनै पनि दाससित त्यो कचौरा फेला पारियो भने त्यो मारियोस्, र हामी आफै पनि तपाईंका दास हुनेछौँ ।”

With whomever of thy servants it be found, let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.

10 भण्डारेले भन्यो, “अब तपाईंहरूकै वचनअनुसार नै होस् । जससित त्यो कचौरा पाइन्छ, त्यो मेरो दास बनोस्, र अरूहरू निर्दोष हुनेछन् ।”

And he said, Now also let it be according to your words. He with whom it is found shall be my bondman, and ye shall be blameless.

11 त्यसपछि हरेक मानिसले हतार-हतारमा आ-आफ्नो बोरा भुइँमा झारी तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्ना बोरा खोल्यो ।

Then they hurried, and took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.

12 भण्डारेले खोजी गर्‍यो । त्यसले जेठोबाट सुरु गरेर कान्छोमा टुङ्ग्यायो, अनि त्यो कचौरा बेन्यामीनको बोरामा फेला पारियो ।

And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left off at the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

13 त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले आफ्ना लुगा च्याते । हरेकले आ-आफ्नो गधा लादेर तिनीहरू सहर फर्के ।

Then they tore their clothes, and every man loaded his donkey, and returned to the city.

14 यहूदा र तिनका दाजुभाइहरू योसेफको घरमा फर्के । तिनी अझै पनि त्यहीँ नै थिए र तिनीहरूले भुइँसम्मै निहुरेर तिनलाई ढोग गरे ।

And Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house. And he was yet there, and they fell before him on the ground.

15 योसेफले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले यो के गरेको? मजस्तो मानिसले शकून-अपशकून गर्छ भनी के तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छैन?”

And Joseph said to them, What deed is this that ye have done? Know ye not that such a man as I can indeed divine?

16 यहूदाले भने, “मेरा मालिकलाई हामी के भनौँ? हामी के बोलौँ? वा हामीले आफूलाई कसरी सफाइ दिऔँ? परमेश्‍वरले तपाईंका दासहरूको अपराध पत्ता लगाउनुभएको छ । हेर्नुहोस्, हामी मेरा मालिकहरूका दास हुन्छौँ– हामी र त्यो व्यक्ति जसको हातमा त्यो कचौरा फेला पर्‍यो ।

And Judah said, What shall we say to my lord? What shall we speak, or how shall we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of thy servants. Behold, we are my lord's bondmen, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found.

17 योसेफले भने, “मबाट यस्तो कहिल्यै हुनेछैन । त्यो मानिस जसको हातमा कचौरा फेरा पारियो, त्यो मात्रै मेरो दास हुनेछ । तर तिमीहरूचाहिँ शान्तिसित आफ्ना पिताकहाँ जाओ ।”

And he said, Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my bondman, but as for you, get you up in peace to your father.

18 त्यसपछि यहूदा योसेफको नजिक आएर भने, “मेरा मालिक, बिन्ती छ, कि हजुरको दासलाई एउटा वचन बोल्न दिनुहोस् किनकि तपाईं फारोसमान हुनुहुन्छ ।

Then Judah came near to him, and said, Oh, my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant, for thou are even as Pharaoh.

19 मेरा मालिकले आफ्ना दासहरूलाई यसो भनी सोध्‍नुभयो, 'के तिमीहरूका पिता वा भाइ छ?'

My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?

20 हामीले हजुरलाई भन्यौँ, 'हाम्रा वृद्ध पिता हुनुहुन्छ, र उहाँले बुढेसकालमा जन्माउनुभएको उहाँको एउटा छोरो पनि छ । तर तिनका दाजु मरिसके, र तिनकी आमापट्टिबाट तिनी मात्रै बाँकी छन्, र तिनका पिताले तिनलाई माया गर्नुहुन्छ ।'

And we said to my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one. And his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loves him.

21 त्यसपछि तपाईंले आफ्ना दासहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, 'तिनलाई लिएर आओ ताकि मैले तिनलाई देख्‍न सकूँ ।'

And thou said to thy servants, Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes upon him.

22 त्यसपछि हामीले हजुरलाई भन्यौँ, 'ठिटोले आफ्ना पितालाई छाड्न सक्दैनन् । किनकि तिनले आफ्ना पितालाई छाड्नुपर्‍यो भने तिनका पिता मर्नेछन् ।'

And we said to my lord, The young man cannot leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.

23 तब तपाईंले आफ्ना दासहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, तिमीहरूको कान्छो छोरो तिमीहरूसँगै नआएसम्म तिमीहरूले मेरो अनुहार हेर्नेछैनौ ।'

And thou said to thy servants, Unless your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.

24 त्यसपछि हामी तपाईंका दास मेरा पिताकहाँ जाँदा हामीले उहाँलाई तपाईंका वचनहरू सुनायौँ ।

And it came to pass when we came up to thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

25 हाम्रा पिताले भन्‍नुभयो, 'फेरि गएर हाम्रा लागि अनाज किन ।'

And our father said, Go again, buy us a little food.

26 त्यसपछि हामीले भन्यौँ, 'हामी तल जान सक्दैनौँ । हाम्रो कान्छो भाइ हामीसित गयो भने मात्र हामी तल जान सक्छौँ किनकि कान्छो भाइ हामीसित नगएसम्म हामीले ती मानिसको अनुहार हेर्न सक्दैनौँ ।'

And we said, We cannot go down. If our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down, for we may not see the man's face unless our youngest brother be with us.

27 तपाईंका दास मेरा पिताले हामीलाई भन्‍नुभयो, 'मेरी पत्‍नीले मेरा लागि दुई जना छोरा जन्माएकी कुरा त तिमीहरूलाई थाहै छ ।

And thy servant my father said to us, Ye know that my wife bore me two sons.

28 एउटाले मलाई छाडेर गइसकेपछि मैले भनेँ, 'निश्‍चय नै, त्यसलाई धुजाधुजा पारिएको छ, र त्यस बेलादेखि मैले त्यसलाई देखेको छैनँ ।

And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces, and I have not seen him since.

29 अब तिमीहरूले यसलाई पनि मबाट लिएर गयौ र यसमाथि कुनै हानि आइपर्‍यो भने तिमीहरूले मेरो फुलेको कपाललाई शोकमै पातालमा पुर्‍याउने‍छौ ।' (Sheol h7585)

And if ye take this one also from me, and harm befall him, ye will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

30 त्यसकारण म हजुरका दास मेरा पिताकहाँ पुग्दा ती ठिटा मसित छैनन् भने उहाँको जीवन ती ठिटाको जीवनमा जोडिएकाले

Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the young man is not with us, since his life is bound up in the young man's life,

31 उहाँले मेरो साथमा ती ठिटालाई नदेख्‍नुहुँदा उहाँ मर्नुहुनेछ । तपाईंका दासहरूले हाम्रा पिताको फुलेको कपाललाई शोकमै पातलामा पुर्‍याउनेछन् । (Sheol h7585)

it will come to pass, when he sees that the young man is not with us, that he will die. And thy servants will bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

32 किनकि तपाईंका दास मेरा पिताको अगि म ती ठिटाको जमानी बसेको छु, र भनेको छु, 'मैले तिनलाई तपाईंकहाँ ल्याइनँ भने म मेरा पिताको सामु सदाको लागि दोषी ठहरिनेछु ।'

For thy servant became surety for the young man to my father, saying, If I do not bring him to thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father forever.

33 त्यसकारण ती ठिटाको साटोमा तपाईंका दासलाई नै हजुरको दासको रूपमा बस्‍न दिनुहोस्, र ती ठिटालाई तिनका दाजुहरूसँगै जान दिनुहोस् ।

Now therefore, let thy servant, I pray thee, abide a bondman to my lord instead of the young man, and let the young man go up with his brothers.

34 किनकि ठिटालाई नलिईकन म कसरी मेरा पिताकहाँ जान सक्छु र? मेरा पितामाथि आइपर्ने खराबी हेर्नदेखि म डराएको छु ।”

For how shall I go up to my father, if the young man be not with me? Lest I see the evil that shall come on my father.
