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 in and told Pharaoh, and said, “My father and my brothers, with their flocks, their herds, and all that they own, 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 ।
From amongst his brothers he took five men, 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 ।”
Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” They said to Pharaoh, “Your 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 ।”
They also said to Pharaoh, “We have come to live as foreigners in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants’ flocks. For the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.”
5 त्यसपछि फारोले योसेफलाई भने, “तिम्रा बुबा र तिम्रा दाजुभाइहरू तिमीकहाँ आएका छन् ।
Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.
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 you. Make your father and your brothers dwell in the best of the land. Let them dwell in the land of Goshen. If you know any able men amongst them, then put them in charge of my livestock.”
7 तब योसेफले आफ्ना बुबा याकूबलाई पनि फारोकहाँ हाजिर गराए । याकूबले फारोलाई आशीर्वाद दिए ।
Joseph brought in Jacob, his father, and set him before Pharaoh; and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8 फारोले याकूबलाई सोधे, “तपाईंको उमेर कति भयो?”
Pharaoh said to Jacob, “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 ।”
Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my pilgrimage are one hundred and thirty years. The days of the years of my life have been few and evil. 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 ।
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 ।
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 ।
Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all of his father’s household with bread, according to the sizes of their families.
13 घोर अनिकालको कारण पुरै देशमा कुनै खानेकुरा थिएन । अनिकालद्वारा मिश्र र कनान दुवै देश कमजोर भए ।
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 ।
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?”
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 your 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 ।”
Joseph said, “Give me your livestock; and I will give you food for your livestock, if your money is 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 ।
They brought their livestock 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 livestock 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 ।
When that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, “We will not hide from my lord how our money is all spent, and the herds of livestock 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 your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land won’t 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 every man of the Egyptians sold his field, because the famine was severe on them, and the land became Pharaoh’s.
21 मिश्रको एक छेउदेखि अर्को छेउसम्मका सबै मानिसहरूलाई तिनले कमारा बनाए ।
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 didn’t buy the land of the priests, for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them. That is why they didn’t 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 and your land today for Pharaoh. Behold, here is seed for you, and you 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 ।”
It will happen at the harvests, that you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts will be your own, for seed of the field, for your food, for them 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 ।”
They said, “You have saved our lives! Let us find favour 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 ।
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 didn’t become Pharaoh’s.
27 त्यसैले इस्राएल मिश्रको गोशेनमा बसोबास गरे । तिनका मानिसहरूले त्यहाँका जग्गाजमिन आफ्नो अधिकारमा लिए । तिनीहरूको फलिफाप भएर सङ्ख्या अत्यन्तै वृद्धि भयो ।
Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they got themselves possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.
28 याकूब मिश्रमा सत्र वर्ष बसे । यसरी याकूबको जम्मा उमेर एक सय सतचालिस वर्ष भयो ।
Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were one hundred and 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 ।
The time came near that Israel must die, and he called his son Joseph, and said to him, “If now I have found favour in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Please don’t bury me 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, you shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place.” Joseph said, “I will do as you have said.”
31 इस्राएलले भने, “मसँग शपथ खा ।” अनि योसेफले शपथ खाए । तब इस्राएल आफ्नो पलङ्गको सिरानमा घोप्टो परे ।
Israel said, “Swear to me,” and he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself on the bed’s head.
