उत्पत्ति 47

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 to Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brothers with their flocks and their herds and all they have, are come from Canaan, and are now in the land of Goshen.

2 तिनले आफ्‍ना दाजुहरूमध्‍येबाट पाँच जनालाई लिएर फारोलाई चिनाइदिए ।

And he took five of his brothers 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 them, What is your business? And they said, Your servants are keepers of sheep, as our fathers were before us.

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 make a living in this land, because we have no grass for our flocks in the land of Canaan; so now let your servants make a place for themselves in the land of Goshen.

5 त्यसपछि फारोले योसेफलाई भने, “तिम्रा बुबा र तिम्रा दाजुभाइहरू तिमीकहाँ आएका छन्‌ ।

And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Let them have the land of Goshen; and if there are any able men among them, put them over my cattle.

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 ।”

And Jacob and his sons came to Joseph in Egypt, and when word of it came to the ears of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, he said to Joseph, Your father and brothers have come to you; all the land of Egypt is before you; let your father and your brothers have the best of the land for their resting-place.

7 तब योसेफले आफ्‍ना बुबा याकूबलाई पनि फारोकहाँ हाजिर गराए । याकूबले फारोलाई आशीर्वाद दिए ।

Then Joseph made his father Jacob come before Pharaoh, and Jacob gave him his blessing.

8 फारोले याकूबलाई सोधे, “तपाईंको उमेर कति भयो?”

And Pharaoh said to him, How old are you?

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, The years of my wanderings have been a hundred and thirty; small in number and full of sorrow have been the years of my life, and less than the years of the wanderings of my fathers.

10 त्यसपछि याकूबले फारोलाई आशीर्वाद दिए, र तिनको उपस्‍थितिबाट निस्‍केर गए ।

And Jacob gave Pharaoh his blessing, and went out from before him.

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 made a place for his father and his brothers, and gave them a heritage in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had given orders.

12 योसेफले आफ्‍ना बुबा, दाजुभाइहरू र आफ्‍ना बुबाका परिवारका सबैलाई उनीहरूका आस्रित परिवारको सङ्ख्याअनुसार खानेकुरा उपलब्ध गराए ।

And Joseph took care of his father and his brothers and all his father's people, giving them food for the needs of their families.

13 घोर अनिकालको कारण पुरै देशमा कुनै खानेकुरा थिएन । अनिकालद्वारा मिश्र र कनान दुवै देश कमजोर भए ।

Now there was no food to be had in all the land, so that all Egypt and Canaan were wasted from need of food.

14 मिश्र र कनान देशका बासिन्दाहरूलाई बेचेका अन्‍नबाट प्राप्‍त सबै रुपियाँ योसेफले जम्‍मा गरे । त्यसपछि योसेफले त्यो रुपियाँ फारोको महलमा ल्याए ।

And all the money in Egypt and in the land of Canaan which had been given for grain, came into the hands of Joseph: and he put it in 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 all the money in Egypt and Canaan was gone, the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, Give us bread; would you have us come to destruction before your eyes? for we have no more money.

16 योसेफले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “यदि तिमीहरूका रुपियाँ-पैसा सिद्धिए भने गाईबस्‍तु ल्‍याओ र तिमीहरूका गाईबस्‍तुका सट्टामा म तिमीहरूलाई अन्‍न दिनेछु ।”

And Joseph said, Give me your cattle; I will give you grain in exchange for your cattle if your money is all gone.

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 ।

So they took their cattle to Joseph and he gave them bread in exchange for their horses and flocks and herds and asses, so all that year he gave them food in exchange for their cattle.

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 in the second year, and said, We may not keep it from our lord's knowledge that all our money is gone, and all the herds of cattle are my lord's; there is nothing more to give my lord but our bodies and our land;

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 ।”

Are we to come to destruction before your eyes, we and our land? take us and our land and give us bread; and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh; and give us seed so that we may have life and the land may not become waste.

20 यसरी योसेफले मिश्रका सबै जग्‍गाजमिन फारोको निम्‍ति किने । अनिकाल धेरै भएको हुनाले हरेक मिश्रीले आफ्‍ना जग्‍गाजमिन बेच्यो । यसरी जग्‍गाजमिन फारोको भयो ।

So Joseph got all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh; for every Egyptian gave up his land in exchange for food, because of their great need; so all the land became Pharaoh's.

21 मिश्रको एक छेउदेखि अर्को छेउसम्‍मका सबै मानिसहरूलाई तिनले कमारा बनाए ।

And as for the people, he made servants of them, town by town, from one end of Egypt to the other.

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 take the land of the priests, for the priests had their food given them by Pharaoh, and having what Pharaoh gave them, they had no need to give up 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, I have made you and your land this day the property of Pharaoh; here is seed for you to put in your fields.

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 when the grain is cut, you are to give a fifth part to Pharaoh, and four parts will be yours for seed and food, and for your families and your little ones.

25 तिनीहरूले भने, “हजूरले हाम्रो प्राण बचाइदिनुभएको छ । हजुरको निगाह हामीमाथि रहोस्‌ । हामी फारोका कमारा हुनेछौँ ।”

And they said to him, Truly you have kept us from death; may we have grace in your eyes, 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 ।

Then Joseph made a law which is in force to this day, that Pharaoh was to have the fifth part; only the land of the priests did not become his.

27 त्यसैले इस्राएल मिश्रको गोशेनमा बसोबास गरे । तिनका मानिसहरूले त्‍यहाँका जग्‍गाजमिन आफ्‍नो अधिकारमा लिए । तिनीहरूको फलिफाप भएर सङ्ख्या अत्यन्तै वृद्धि भयो ।

And so Israel was living among the Egyptians in the land of Goshen; and they got property there, and became very great in numbers and in wealth.

28 याकूब मिश्रमा सत्र वर्ष बसे । यसरी याकूबको जम्‍मा उमेर एक सय सतचालिस वर्ष भयो ।

And Jacob was living in the land of Goshen for seventeen years; so the years of his life were a hundred and forty-seven.

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 of his death came near, and he sent for his son Joseph and said to him, If now I am dear to you, put your hand under my leg and take an oath that you will not put me to rest in Egypt;

30 म मेरा पिता-पुर्खाहरूसँग सुत्दा मलाई मिश्रबाट बोकेर लगी उनीहरूकै चिहानमा गाडिदे ।” योसेफले भने, “तपाईंले भन्‍नुभएबमोजिम म गर्नेछु ।”

But when I go to my fathers, you are to take me out of Egypt and put me to rest in their last resting-place. And he said, I will do so.

31 इस्राएलले भने, “मसँग शपथ खा ।” अनि योसेफले शपथ खाए । तब इस्राएल आफ्‍नो पलङ्गको सिरानमा घोप्‍टो परे ।

And he said, Take an oath to me; and he took an oath to him: and Israel gave worship on the bed's head.
