उत्पत्ति 48
1 यी कुराहरू भएको केही समयपछि “हेर्नुहोस्, हजुरका पिता बिरामी हुनुहुन्छ” भनेर कसैले योसेफलाई खबर दियो । यसकारण तिनले आफ्ना दुई छोरा मनश्शे र एफ्राइमलाई आफ्नो साथमा ल्याए ।
And it came to pass after these things, that it was reported to Joseph, Behold, your father is ill; and, having taken his two sons, Manasse and Ephraim, he came to Jacob.
2 जब “हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंका छोरा योसेफ तपाईंलाई भेट गर्न आएका छन्” भन्ने खबर कसैले याकूबलाई सुनायो, इस्राएल आफै बल गरेर पलङ्गमा बसे ।
And it was reported to Jacob, saying, Behold, your son Joseph comes to you; and Israel having strengthened himself, sat upon the bed.
3 याकूबले योसेफलाई भने, “सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वर कनान देशको लूजमा मकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो । उहाँले मलाई आशीर्वाद दिनुभयो
And Jacob said to Joseph, My God appeared to me in Luza, in the land of Chanaan, and blessed me,
4 र भन्नुभयो, 'हेर, म तँलाई फल्दो-फुल्दो बनाउनेछु, र तेरो वृद्धि गराउनेछु । तँबाट म जातिहरूको समूह उत्पन्न गर्नेछु । म यो देश अनन्त अधिकारको रूपमा तेरा सन्तानलाई दिनेछु ।’
and said to me, Behold, I will increase you, and multiply you, and will make of you multitudes of nations; and I will give this land to you, and to your seed after you, for an everlasting possession.
5 अब म मिश्रमा आउनअगि मिश्रमा जन्मेका तेरा यी दुई जना छोराहरू मेरै हुन् । रूबेन र शिमियोनझैँ एफ्राइम र मनश्शे मेरै हुनेछन् ।
Now then your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt, before I came to you into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasse, as Ruben and Symeon they shall be mine.
6 तिनीहरूभन्दा पछि जन्मेका सन्तानहरूचाहिँ तेरा हुनेछन् । यिनीहरूका नाम पनि यिनका दाजुभाइहरूले पाउने हकमा सूचीबद्ध गरिनेछ ।
And the children which you shall beget hereafter, shall be in the name of their brethren; they shall be named after their inheritances.
7 म पद्दन-आरामबाट आउँदा एप्रातमा पुग्न अझ केही टाढा छँदै कनान देशमा राहेल मरिन् । मैले तिनलाई एप्रात अर्थात् बेथलेहेम जाने बाटोमा गाडेँ ।”
And as for me, when I came out of Mesopotamia of Syria, Rachel, your mother, died in the land of Chanaan, as I drew night to the horse-course of Chabratha of the land [of Chanaan], so as to come to Ephratha; and I buried her in the road of the course; this is Bethlehem.
8 योसेफका छोराहरूलाई देखेर इस्राएलले भने, “यिनीहरू को हुन्?”
And when Israel saw the sons of Joseph, he said, Who are these to you?
9 योसेफले आफ्ना बुबालाई भने, “यिनीहरू परमेश्वरले मलाई यहाँ दिनुभएका मेरा छोराहरू हुन् ।” इस्राएलले भने, “तिनीहरूलाई मकहाँ ले, ताकि म तिनीहरूलाई आशीर्वाद दिऊँ ।”
And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God gave me here; and Jacob said, Bring me them, that I may bless them.
10 त्यस बेला तिनको उमेरले गर्दा इस्राएलका आँखा धमिला भइसकेका थिए, त्यसैले तिनले देख्न सकेनन् । यसकारण योसेफले तिनीहरूलाई तिनको नजिक लगिदिए, अनि तिनले तिनीहरूलाई म्वाइँ खाएर अँगालो हाले ।
Now the eyes of Israel were dim through age, and he could not see; and he brought them near to him, and he kissed them, and embraced them.
11 इस्राएलले योसेफलाई भने, “मैले त तेरो मुख फेरि देख्न पाउँला भनी ठानेकै थिइनँ, तर मलाई परमेश्वरले तेरा सन्तान पनि देख्न दिनुभयो ।”
And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I have not been deprived of [seeing] your face, and behold! God has showed me your seed also.
12 तब योसेफले तिनीहरूलाई इस्राएलका घुँडाको बिचबाट हटाए, र तिनले भुइँमा घोप्टेर दण्डवत् गरे ।
And Joseph brought them out from [between] his knees, and they did reverence to him, with their face to the ground.
13 योसेफले ती दुवैलाई लिएर एफ्राइमलाई आफ्नो दाहिनेपट्टि र इस्राएलको देब्रेपट्टि, र मनश्शेलाई आफ्नो देब्रेपट्टि र इस्राएलको दाहिनेपट्टि पर्ने गरी इस्राएलको नजिक ल्याए ।
And Joseph took his two sons, both Ephraim in his right hand, but on the left of Israel, and Manasse on his left hand, but on the right of Israel, and brought them near to him.
14 इस्राएलले आफ्नो दाहिने हात पसारेर कान्छा एफ्राइमको टाउकोमा र आफ्नो देब्रे हात मनश्शेको टाउकोमा राखे । मनश्शे जेठा भएकाले तिनले आफ्नो एउटा हात अर्को हातमाथि खप्ट्याए ।
But Israel having stretched out his right hand, laid it on the head of Ephraim, and he was the younger; and his left hand on the head of Manasse, [guiding] his hands crosswise.
15 इस्राएलले योसेफलाई आशीर्वाद दिएर भने, “जुन परमेश्वरको सामुन्ने मेरा पिता अब्राहाम र इसहाक हिँडे, जुन परमेश्वरले मेरो जीवनभरि आजसम्म मेरो वास्ता गर्नुभएको छ,
And he blessed them and said, The God in whose sight my fathers were well pleasing, [even] Abraam and Isaac, the God who continues to feed me from my youth until this day;
16 ती स्वर्गदूत, जसले मलाई सबै खराबीबाट जोगाउनुभएको छ, उहाँले नै यी बालकहरूलाई आशीर्वाद देऊन् । मेरो र मेरा पिता अब्राहाम र इसहाकका नाउँ यिनीहरूमा बोलाइयोस् । पृथ्वीमा यिनीहरू अधिक सङ्ख्यामा बढून् ।”
the angel who delivers me from all evils, bless these boys, and my name shall be called upon them, and the name of my fathers, Abraam and Isaac; and let them be increased to a great multitude on the earth.
17 जब योसेफले तिनका बुबाले आफ्ना दाहिने हात एफ्राइमको टाउकोमा राखेको देखे, यो उनलाई मन परेन । तिनले एफ्राइमको टाउकोबाट मनश्शेको टाउकोमा राख्न भनी तिनका बुबाको हात उठाए ।
And Joseph having seen that his father put his right hand on the head of Ephraim—it seemed grievous to him; and Joseph took hold of the hand of his father, to remove it from the head of Ephraim to the head of Manasse.
18 योसेफले आफ्ना बुबालाई भने, “हे मेरा बुबा, यसो होइन, किनकि जेठोचाहिँ यो हो । तपाईंको दाहिने हात यसको शिरमाथि राखिदिनुहोस् ।”
And Joseph said to his father, Not so, father; for this is the firstborn; lay your right-hand upon his head.
19 तर तिनका बुबाले अस्वीकार गरी भने, “मलाई थाहा छ, मेरो छोरो, मलाई थाहा छ । यसको पनि एउटा वंश हुनेछ, र यो पनि महान् हुनेछ । तापनि यसको भाइचाहिँ योभन्दा महान् हुनेछ, र त्यसका सन्तान जाति-जातिहरूको एक समूह हुनेछ ।”
And he would not, but said, I know it, son, I know it; he also shall be a people, and he shall be exalted, but his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
20 इस्राएलले तिनीहरूलाई त्यस दिन यसो भनेर आशीर्वाद दिए, “इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले तिमीहरूका नाउँ लिएर यस्तो आशीर्वाद दिनेछन्, ‘परमेश्वरले तँलाई एफ्राइम र मनश्शेजस्तै बनाऊन्’।” यसरी तिनले मनश्शेभन्दा एफ्राइमलाई नै अगाडि राखे ।
And he blessed them in that day, saying, In you shall Israel be blessed, saying, God make you as Ephraim and Manasse; and he set Ephraim before Manasse.
21 इस्राएलले योसेफलाई भने, “हेर्, म मर्न लागेको छु, तर परमेश्वर तिमीहरूका साथमा हुनुहुनेछ, र तिमीहरूलाई फेरि तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूको देशमा फर्काएर लैजानुहुनेछ ।
And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I die; and God shall be with you, and restore you to the land of your fathers.
22 त्यसबाहेक तेरा दाजुभाइहरूभन्दा तँमाथि भएकोले मैले आफ्नो तरवार र धनुको बलले एमोरीहरूबाट लिएको पहाडको पाखा म तँलाई दिन्छु ।”
And I give to you Sicima, a select portion above your brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorites with my sword and bow.
