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 ।

Then commanded he him who was over his house saying—Fill the sacks of the men, with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man’s silver 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 my cup—the cup of silver, shalt thou put in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, with his corn-silver. So he did, according to the word of Joseph, which he had spoken.

3 बिहान भएपछि ती मानिसहरू आ-आफ्ना गधाहरूसँगै पठाइए ।

By the time, the morning, was light, the men, had been 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?

They themselves, had gone out of the city—they had not gone far, when Joseph said to him who was over his house, Rise chase after the men, —so shalt thou overtake them and shalt say unto them, Wherefore have ye requited 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 drinketh, and whereby, he himself, doth divine? Ye have done evil in what ye have done.

6 भण्डारेले तिनीहरूलाई भेट्टायो, र तिनहरूलाई ती वचनहरू भन्यो ।

So he overtook them, —and spake unto them these words.

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

And they said unto him, Wherefore should my lord speak such words as these? Far be thy servants, from doing such a thing as this!

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?

Lo! the silver that we found in the mouth of our sacks, we brought back unto thee out of the land of Canaan, —how then could we steal out of the house of thy lord, silver or gold?

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

With whomsoever of thy servants it can be found, he shall die, —and, we also, will become my lord’s servants.

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

And he said, Yea, now, according to your words, so, let it be, —he with whom it is found, shall be my servant, Ye, however, shall be clear.

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

So they hastened and took down each man his sack to the ground, —and opened each man his sack.

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

Then made he thorough search, with the eldest, he began, and with the youngest, he ended, —and the cup was found in the sack of Benjamin!

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

And they rent their mantles, —and laded each man 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 Judah and his brethren came into the house of Joseph, he, yet being there, —and fell down before him to the earth.

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 deed which ye have done? Know ye not that such a man as I, can even 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 ।

Then said Judah—What shall we say to my lord, how shall we speak and how shall we justify ourselves, —when, God himself, hath found out the iniquity of thy servants? Behold us! my lord’s servants, both we, and he in whose hand the cup hath 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 he said, Far be it from me to do this thing! The man in whose hand the cup hath been found, he, shall be my servant, but as for you, go ye up in peace unto 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 drew near unto him, and said—Pardon my lord! Pray let thy servant speak a word in the ears of my lord, and do not let thine anger be kindled against thy servant, —for, thus, art, thou as Pharaoh!

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

It was, my lord, who 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 ।'

So we said unto my lord, We have an aged father, and the child of his old age a youth, —his brother, being dead, he alone, is left of his mother and, his father, loveth him.

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

So then thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, —that I may set mine 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 unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father, —as surely as he leaveth his father, so surely will he, die.

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

And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother do come down with you, ye shall not again behold my face.

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

So it came to pass when we had gone up unto thy servant, my father, that we told him the words of my lord.

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

Then said our father, —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 cannot see the face of the man if, our youngest brother, is not with us.

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

Then said thy servant my father, unto us, —Ye yourselves, know, that, two, did my wife bear to me,

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

and the one went forth from me, and I said—Certainly he hath been, torn in pieces, —And I have never 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)

As surely as ye take, this one also, away from before my face and there befall him any mischief, so surely shall ye bring down my grey hairs, with misfortune to hades. (Sheol h7585)

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

Now, therefore, as surely as I go in unto thy servant my father, and, the lad, is not with us, —seeing that his soul is bound up with the lad’s soul,

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

so surely shall it come to pass that when he seeth that the lad is not with us, then will he die. So shall thy servants bring down the grey hairs of thy servant our father, with sorrow to hades. (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 lad, while away from my father saying, —If I bring him not unto thee, then will I count myself a sinner against my father all the days.

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

Now, therefore, I pray thee let thy servant remain instead of the lad, as servant to my lord, —but as for the lad, let him 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 can I go up unto my father, should the lad, not be with me? lest I look on the calamity, that shall find out my father,
