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 one said to Joseph, Lo! thy father, is sick. So he took his two sons with him, Manasseh and Ephraim.
2 जब “हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंका छोरा योसेफ तपाईंलाई भेट गर्न आएका छन्” भन्ने खबर कसैले याकूबलाई सुनायो, इस्राएल आफै बल गरेर पलङ्गमा बसे ।
And one told Jacob, and said—Lo! thy son Joseph, coming in unto thee. So Israel strengthened himself, and sat up on the couch.
3 याकूबले योसेफलाई भने, “सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वर कनान देशको लूजमा मकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो । उहाँले मलाई आशीर्वाद दिनुभयो
Then said Jacob unto Joseph, GOD Almighty, appeared unto me in Luz in the land of Canaan, —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 unto me—Behold me! about to make thee fruitful, so will I multiply thee, and give thee to become a multitude of peoples, —so will I give this land to thy seed after thee, as an age-abiding possession.
5 अब म मिश्रमा आउनअगि मिश्रमा जन्मेका तेरा यी दुई जना छोराहरू मेरै हुन् । रूबेन र शिमियोनझैँ एफ्राइम र मनश्शे मेरै हुनेछन् ।
Now, therefore thy two sons who were born to thee in the land of Egypt, before I came in unto thee in Egypt, are mine! Ephraim and Manasseh, like Reuben and Simeon, shall be mine!
6 तिनीहरूभन्दा पछि जन्मेका सन्तानहरूचाहिँ तेरा हुनेछन् । यिनीहरूका नाम पनि यिनका दाजुभाइहरूले पाउने हकमा सूचीबद्ध गरिनेछ ।
But thine offspring which thou hast begotten after them, thine own shall they be, —after the name of their brethren, shall they be called in their inheritance.
7 म पद्दन-आरामबाट आउँदा एप्रातमा पुग्न अझ केही टाढा छँदै कनान देशमा राहेल मरिन् । मैले तिनलाई एप्रात अर्थात् बेथलेहेम जाने बाटोमा गाडेँ ।”
But, as for me, when I came in from Padan, Rachel died by me, in the land of Canaan, in the way, while yet there was a stretch of country to come into Ephrath, —so I buried her there in the way to Ephrath, the same, is Bethlehem.
8 योसेफका छोराहरूलाई देखेर इस्राएलले भने, “यिनीहरू को हुन्?”
Then Israel saw Joseph’s sons, —and said—Who are these?
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 unto his father, My sons, they are, whom God hath given me, in this place. And he said—Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, 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, had become dim from old age, —he could not see, —so he drew them near unto him, and 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 unto Joseph, To see thine own face, had I not thought, —and lo! God hath caused me to see even thy seed!
12 तब योसेफले तिनीहरूलाई इस्राएलका घुँडाको बिचबाट हटाए, र तिनले भुइँमा घोप्टेर दण्डवत् गरे ।
And Joseph brought them out from beside his knees, and bowed himself down with his face towards the earth.
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 them both, —Ephraim in his right hand on Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand, on Israel’s right hand, and drew them near unto 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 ।
Then Israel put forth his right hand and laid it upon the head of Ephraim, though, he, was the younger, and his left hand upon the head of Manasseh, —crossing his hands, although, Manasseh, was the first-born.
15 इस्राएलले योसेफलाई आशीर्वाद दिएर भने, “जुन परमेश्वरको सामुन्ने मेरा पिता अब्राहाम र इसहाक हिँडे, जुन परमेश्वरले मेरो जीवनभरि आजसम्म मेरो वास्ता गर्नुभएको छ,
Thus blessed he Joseph, and said, —God himself—before whom walked my fathers. Abraham and Isaac, God himself—who hath been my shepherd, since I came into being 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 Messenger—who hath been my redeemer from all evil—bless the lads! And may there be called upon them, my name, and the name of my fathers. Abraham and Isaac; And may they swarm into a multitude, in the midst of 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 saw that his father had laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim and it was displeasing in his eyes, —so he took hold of his father’s hand to remove it from off the head of Ephraim, on to the head of Manasseh.
18 योसेफले आफ्ना बुबालाई भने, “हे मेरा बुबा, यसो होइन, किनकि जेठोचाहिँ यो हो । तपाईंको दाहिने हात यसको शिरमाथि राखिदिनुहोस् ।”
And Joseph said unto his father—Not so, my father! for, this, is the firstborn, lay thy 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 his father refused, and said—I know—my son, I know! He also, shall become a people, and he also, shall become great, —but nevertheless, his younger brother, shall become greater than he, and his seed, shall become a filling up of the 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 on that day, saying—In thee, let Israel bless himself saying, God set thee as Ephraim, and as Manasseh! So he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
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 unto Joseph: Lo! I, am about to die, —but it shall come to pass that, God will be with you, and will take you back into the land of your fathers.
22 त्यसबाहेक तेरा दाजुभाइहरूभन्दा तँमाथि भएकोले मैले आफ्नो तरवार र धनुको बलले एमोरीहरूबाट लिएको पहाडको पाखा म तँलाई दिन्छु ।”
But, I, have given to thee one mountain-track above thy brethren, —which I took out of the hand of the Amorite, with my sword and with my bow.
