1 तब भित्र गएर योसेफले फारोलाई भने, “मेरा बुबा र दाजुभाइहरू, उनका बगाल र बथानहरू र उनीहरूका सबै थोक लिएर कनानबाट आएका छन्‌ । हेर्नुहोस्, अहिले उनीहरू गोशेन प्रदेशमा छन्‌ ।”
Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brothers, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, have come out of the land of Canaan. And, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
2 तिनले आफ्‍ना दाजुहरूमध्‍येबाट पाँच जनालाई लिएर फारोलाई चिनाइदिए ।
And he took five men from among his brothers, and presented them to Pharaoh.
3 फारोले तिनका दाजुभाइहरूलाई सोधे, “तिमीहरूको कामधन्‍धा के हो?” उनीहरूले फारोलाई भने, “हामी हजुरका दासहरू हाम्रा पिता-पुर्खादेखि नै गोठाला हौँ ।”
And Pharaoh said to his brothers, What is your occupation? And they said to Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.
4 त्यसपछि उनीहरूले फारोलाई भने, “हामी यस देशमा अस्थायी बसोबास गर्न आएका छौँ । कनान देशमा घोर अनिकाल परेको हुनाले हजुरका दासहरूका बगालहरूको निम्ति चरन छैन । त्यसैले अब बिन्‍ती छ, हामी हजूरका दासहरूलाई गोशेन प्रदेशमा बसोबास गर्ने अनुमति दिनुहोस् ।”
And they said to Pharaoh, We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for thy servants' flocks, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
5 त्यसपछि फारोले योसेफलाई भने, “तिम्रा बुबा र तिम्रा दाजुभाइहरू तिमीकहाँ आएका छन्‌ ।
And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brothers have come to thee.
6 मिश्रदेश तिम्रै अगि छ । देशको सबैभन्‍दा असल ठाउँ गोशेन प्रदेशमा नै तिम्रा बुबा र तिम्रा दाजुभाइहरूलाई बस्‍ने बन्दोबस्त गर । उनीहरूमध्‍ये सक्षम मानिसहरूलाई गाईबस्‍तुहरूको जिम्मा देऊ ।”
The land of Egypt is before thee. Make thy father and thy brothers to dwell in the best of the land; in the land of Goshen let them dwell. And if thou know any able men among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
7 तब योसेफले आफ्‍ना बुबा याकूबलाई पनि फारोकहाँ हाजिर गराए । याकूबले फारोलाई आशीर्वाद दिए ।
And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8 फारोले याकूबलाई सोधे, “तपाईंको उमेर कति भयो?”
And Pharaoh said to Jacob, How many are the days of the years of thy life?
9 याकूबले फारोलाई भने, “मेरो प्रवासी जीवनको उमेर एक सय तिस वर्ष भयो । मेरो यस जीवनका वर्षहरू थोरै र दु: खमय भएका छन् । मेरो उमेर मेरा पिता-पुर्खाहरूको जति पुगेकै छैन ।”
And Jacob said to Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
10 त्यसपछि याकूबले फारोलाई आशीर्वाद दिए, र तिनको उपस्‍थितिबाट निस्‍केर गए ।
And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.
11 तब योसेफले आफ्‍ना बुबा र दाजुभाइहरूलाई बसोबास गराए । फारोको हुकुमअनुसार तिनले मिश्रमा भएको सबैभन्‍दा असल ठाउँ, अर्थात्‌ रामसेस भन्‍ने इलाकाको एउटा क्षेत्र उनीहरूलाई दिए ।
And Joseph placed his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
12 योसेफले आफ्‍ना बुबा, दाजुभाइहरू र आफ्‍ना बुबाका परिवारका सबैलाई उनीहरूका आस्रित परिवारको सङ्ख्याअनुसार खानेकुरा उपलब्ध गराए ।
And Joseph nourished his father, and his brothers, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families.
13 घोर अनिकालको कारण पुरै देशमा कुनै खानेकुरा थिएन । अनिकालद्वारा मिश्र र कनान दुवै देश कमजोर भए ।
And there was no bread in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
14 मिश्र र कनान देशका बासिन्दाहरूलाई बेचेका अन्‍नबाट प्राप्‍त सबै रुपियाँ योसेफले जम्‍मा गरे । त्यसपछि योसेफले त्यो रुपियाँ फारोको महलमा ल्याए ।
And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought. And Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
15 जब मिश्र र कनानमा भएका सबै आफ्‍ना रुपियाँ-पैसा खर्च भयो, सबै मिश्रीहरू यसो भन्दै योसेफकहाँ आए, “हामीलाई अन्‍न दिनुहोस्‌ । हाम्रो रुपियाँ-पैसा सकिएको कारण तपाईंका आँखाको सामुन्‍ने हामी किन मरौँ?”
And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, Give us bread, for why should we die in thy presence? For our money fails.
16 योसेफले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “यदि तिमीहरूका रुपियाँ-पैसा सिद्धिए भने गाईबस्‍तु ल्‍याओ र तिमीहरूका गाईबस्‍तुका सट्टामा म तिमीहरूलाई अन्‍न दिनेछु ।”
And Joseph said, Give your cattle, and I will give you for your cattle, if money fails.
17 यसकारण तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना गाईबस्‍तुहरू योसेफकहाँ ल्‍याए । योसेफले तिनीहरूका घोडा, भेडाबाख्रा, गाईबस्‍तु, गधाका सट्टामा तिनीहरूलाई खानेकुरा दिए । त्‍यस साल गाईबस्‍तुका सट्टामा तिनीहरूलाई तिनले अन्‍न खुवाए ।
And they brought their cattle to Joseph. And Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the donkeys. And he fed them with bread in exchange for all their cattle for that year.
18 त्‍यो साल बितेपछि अर्को साल आएर तिनीहरूले योसेफलाई भने, “हामी हाम्रा मालिकदेखि केही कुरा पनि लुकाउँदैनौँ कि हाम्रा रुपियाँ-पैसा सबै सकिए र गाईबस्‍तुका बथान पनि सबै मालिककै भएका छन् । अब हजुरको आँखाको सामुन्‍ने हामीसँग हाम्रै जिउ र जग्‍गाजमिनबाहेक अरू केही छैन ।
And when that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, We will not hide from my lord, how that our money is all spent, and the herds of cattle are my lord's; there is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands.
19 हामी र हाम्रा जमिन हजूरका आँखाको सामुन्‍ने किन नष्‍ट हुने? अन्‍नको साटोमा हामी र हाम्रो जमिनलाई किन्‍नुहोस्, र हामी आफ्‍ना जग्‍गाजमिनसमेत फारोका कमारा-कमारी हुनेछौँ । हामीलाई बिउ दिनुहोस्, ताकि हामी जीवित हुन सकौँ र हाम्रा जग्‍गाजमिन पनि उजाड नहोऊन् ।”
Why should we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. And give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land not be desolate.
20 यसरी योसेफले मिश्रका सबै जग्‍गाजमिन फारोको निम्‍ति किने । अनिकाल धेरै भएको हुनाले हरेक मिश्रीले आफ्‍ना जग्‍गाजमिन बेच्यो । यसरी जग्‍गाजमिन फारोको भयो ।
So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh. For the Egyptians, every man, sold his field, because the famine was severe upon them. And the land became Pharaoh's.
21 मिश्रको एक छेउदेखि अर्को छेउसम्‍मका सबै मानिसहरूलाई तिनले कमारा बनाए ।
And as for the people, he moved them to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end of it.
22 पुजारीहरूका जग्‍गाजमिन मात्र तिनले किनेनन्, किनभने पुजारीहरूलाई फारोबाट भत्ता दिइएको थियो । फारोले दिएकै हिस्‍साबाट तिनीहरूले खान्‍थे । त्‍यसकारण तिनीहरूले चाहिँ आफ्‍ना जग्‍गाजमिन बेचेनन् ।
Only he did not buy the land of the priests, for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore they did not sell their land.
23 योसेफले जनताहरूलाई भने, “हेर, आज मैले फारोको निम्‍ति तिमीहरूका जग्‍गाजमिन र तिमीहरूलाई पनि किनेको छु । अब तिमीहरूका निम्‍ति बिउ यहाँ छ, र तिमीहरूले जमिनमा बिउ छर ।
Then Joseph said to the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh. Lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.
24 तर फसलको बेलामा उब्‍जनीको पाँचौँ हिस्‍सा तिमीहरूले फारोलाई दिनुपर्छ । चार हिस्‍साचाहिँ खेतीलाई बिउको निम्‍ति र तिमीहरू, तिमीहरूका परिवार र तिमीहरूका बालबच्‍चाको खानाको निम्‍ति तिमीहरूको आफ्‍नै हुनेछ ।”
And it shall come to pass at the ingatherings, that ye shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for those of your households, and for food for your little ones.
25 तिनीहरूले भने, “हजूरले हाम्रो प्राण बचाइदिनुभएको छ । हजुरको निगाह हामीमाथि रहोस्‌ । हामी फारोका कमारा हुनेछौँ ।”
And they said, Thou have saved our lives. Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
26 यसैले मिश्र देशमा योसेफले उब्‍जनीको पाँचौँ हिस्‍सा फारोको हुन्‍छ भन्‍ने कुरा समेटिएको जग्‍गाजमिनको विषयमा एउटा ऐन बनाए, जुन आजसम्‍म प्रचलित छ । पुजारीहरूका जग्‍गाजमिन मात्र फारोको भएन ।
And Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth. Only the land of the priests alone did not become Pharaoh's.
27 त्यसैले इस्राएल मिश्रको गोशेनमा बसोबास गरे । तिनका मानिसहरूले त्‍यहाँका जग्‍गाजमिन आफ्‍नो अधिकारमा लिए । तिनीहरूको फलिफाप भएर सङ्ख्या अत्यन्तै वृद्धि भयो ।
And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they got possessions in it, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.
28 याकूब मिश्रमा सत्र वर्ष बसे । यसरी याकूबको जम्‍मा उमेर एक सय सतचालिस वर्ष भयो ।
And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred forty-seven years.
29 जब इस्राएलको मर्ने बेला आयो, तिनले आफ्‍ना छोरा योसेफलाई बोलाएर भने, “यदि मैले तेरो निगाह पाएको छु भने तेरो हात मेरो तिघ्रामुनि राखेर मप्रति तेरो विश्‍वासयोग्यता र भरोसा देखा । कृपा गरेर मलाई मिश्रदेशमा नगाड्‌ ।
And the time drew near that Israel must die. And he called his son Joseph, and said to him, If now I have found favor in thy sight, put thy hand, I pray thee, under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt,
30 म मेरा पिता-पुर्खाहरूसँग सुत्दा मलाई मिश्रबाट बोकेर लगी उनीहरूकै चिहानमा गाडिदे ।” योसेफले भने, “तपाईंले भन्‍नुभएबमोजिम म गर्नेछु ।”
but when I sleep with my fathers, thou shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place. And he said, I will do as thou have said.
31 इस्राएलले भने, “मसँग शपथ खा ।” अनि योसेफले शपथ खाए । तब इस्राएल आफ्‍नो पलङ्गको सिरानमा घोप्‍टो परे ।
And he said, Swear to me, and he swore to him. And Israel bowed himself upon the head of the bed.
