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 Joseph charged the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put the money of each in the mouth of his sack.

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

And put my silver cup into the sack of the youngest, and the price of his corn. And it was done according to the word of Joseph, as he said.

3 बिहान भएपछि ती मानिसहरू आ-आफ्ना गधाहरूसँगै पठाइए ।

The morning dawned, and the men were sent away, they and their asses.

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 had gone out of the city, [and] were not far off, then Joseph said to his steward, Arise, and pursue after the men; and you shall overtake them, and say to them, Why have you returned 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' ।”

Why have you stolen my silver cup? is it not this out of which my lord drinks? and he divines augury with it; you have accomplished evil in that which you have done.

6 भण्डारेले तिनीहरूलाई भेट्टायो, र तिनहरूलाई ती वचनहरू भन्यो ।

And he found them, and spoke to them according to 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 our lord speak according to these words? far be it from your servants to do according to this word.

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?

If we brought back to you out of the land of Chanaan the money which we found in our sacks, how should we steal silver or gold out of the house of your lord?

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

With whoever of your servants you shall find the cup, let him die; and, moreover, we will be servants to our lord.

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

And he said, Now then it shall be as you say; with whoever the cup shall be found, he shall be my servant, and you shall be clear.

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

And they hasted, and took down every man his sack on the ground, and they 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, beginning from the oldest, until he came to the youngest; and he found the cup in Benjamin's sack.

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

And they tore their garments, and laid each man his sack on his ass, 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 Judas and his brethren came in to Joseph, while he was yet there, and fell on the ground before him.

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

And Joseph said to them, What is this thing that you have done? know you not that a man such as I can surely 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 Judas said, What shall we answer to our lord, or what shall we say, or wherein should we be justified? whereas God has discovered the unrighteousness of your servants; behold, we are slaves to our lord, both we and he with whom the cup has been 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 Joseph said, Far be it from me to do this thing; the man with whom the cup has been found, he shall be my servant; but do you go up with safety 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 ।

And Judas drew near him, and said, I pray, Sir, let your servant speak a word before you, and be not angry with your servant, for you are next to Pharao.

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

Sir, you asked your servants, saying, Have you 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 he has a son of his old age, a young one, and his brother is dead, and he alone has been left behind to his mother, and his father loves him.

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

And you said to they servants, Bring him down to me, and I will take care of 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 child will not be able to leave his father; but if he should leave his father, he will die.

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

But you said to they servants, Except your younger brother come down with you, you shall not see my face again.

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

And it came to pass, when we went up to your servant our father, we reported to him the words of our lord.

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

And our father said, Go again, and 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 shall not be able to go down; but if our younger brother go down with us, we will go down; for we shall not be able to see the man's face, our younger brother not being with us.

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

And your servant our father said to us, You 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 one is departed from me; and you said that he was devoured of wild beasts, and I have not seen him until now.

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

If then you take this one also from my presence, and an affliction happen to him by the way, then shall you bring down my old age with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)

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

Now then, if I should go in to they servant, and our father, and the boy should not be with us, (and his life depends on this [lad's] life)

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

—it shall even come to pass, when he sees the boy is not with us, [that] he will die, and your servants will bring down the old age of your servant, and our father, with sorrow to the grave. (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 your servant has received the boy [in charge] from his father, saying, If I bring him not to you, and place him before you, I shall be guilty towards my father for ever.

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

Now then I will remain a servant with you instead of the lad, a domestic of my lord; but let the lad go up with his brethren.

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, the lad not being with us? lest I behold the evils which will befall my father.
