< Genesis 27 >

1 Now when Isaac was old and his eyes had become clouded so that he was not able to see, he sent for Esau, his first son, and said to him, My son: and he said, Here am I.
जब इसहाक वृद्ध भए र तिनका आँखा कमजोर भएर देख्‍न नसक्‍ने भए, तब तिनले आफ्‍ना जेठा छोरा एसावलाई बोलाएर भने, “ए मेरो छोरो ।” उनले तिनलाई जवाफ दिए, “हजुर, म यहीँ छु ।”
2 And he said, See now, I am old, and my death may take place at any time:
तिनले भने, “हेर्, म वृद्ध भएँ । मेरो मर्ने दिनको बारेमा मलाई थाहा छैन ।
3 So take your arrows and your bow and go out to the field and get meat for me;
अब तेरा हतियारहरू, अर्थात्‌ तेरो ठोक्रो र धनु लिएर मैदानमा जा, र मेरो निम्‍ति सिकार गर् ।
4 And make me food, good to the taste, such as is pleasing to me, and put it before me, so that I may have a meal and give you my blessing before death comes to me.
मलाई मनपर्ने स्‍वादिष्‍ठ तरकारी बनाई मकहाँ ले ताकि यो खाएर मेरो मृत्‍युअगि म तँलाई आशिष्‌ दिऊँ ।”
5 Now Isaac's words to his son were said in Rebekah's hearing. Then Esau went out to get the meat.
इसहाकले आफ्नो छोरो एसावसँग कुरा गरेको रिबेकाले सुनिन् । एसाव शिकार मारेर ल्‍याउन मैदानमा गए ।
6 And Rebekah said to Jacob, her son, Your father said to your brother Esau in my hearing,
रिबेकाले आफ्‍ना छोरा याकूबलाई भनिन्, “हेर्, तेरा पिताले तेरो दाजु एसावसँग यसो भनेर कुरा गरेको मैले सुनेँ ।
7 Go and get some roe's meat and make me a good meal, so that I may be full, and give you my blessing before the Lord before my death.
‘सिकार मारेर मकहाँ ले र मलाई मनपर्ने स्‍वादिष्‍ठ तरकारी बना ताकि यो खाएर मेरो मृत्‍युअगि परमप्रभुको सामुन्‍ने तँलाई आशिष्‌ दिन सकूँ ।’
8 Now, my son, do what I say.
यसकारण यसकारण ए मेरो छोरो, मैले तँलाई दिएका आज्ञा मान् ।
9 Go to the flock and get me two fat young goats; and I will make of them a meal to your father's taste:
बथानमा गएर दुईवटा असल पाठा लिएर आइज, र म तेरा बुबालाई मनपर्ने स्‍वादिष्‍ठ तरकारी बनाउनेछु ।
10 And you will take it to him, so that he may have a good meal and give you his blessing before his death.
अनि तैंले त्‍यो तेरा बुबाकहाँ लैजा, ताकि तिनले यो खाएर आफ्‍नो मृत्‍युअगि तँलाई आशिष्‌ देऊन् ।”
11 And Jacob said to Rebekah, his mother, But Esau my brother is covered with hair, while I am smooth:
याकूबले आफ्‍नी आमा रिबेकालाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, मेरा दाजु एसाव रौँ नै रौँ भएका मानिस हुन्‌, र मचाहिँ रौँ नभएको छु ।
12 If by chance my father puts his hand on me, it will seem to him that I am tricking him, and he will put a curse on me in place of a blessing.
सायद मेरा पिताले मलाई छाम्‍नुहुनेछ, र उहाँको सामु म छली देखिनेछु । मैले ममाथि आशिष्‌ होइन, सराप ल्याउनेछु ।”
13 And his mother said, Let the curse be on me, my son: only do as I say, and go and get them for me.
तिनकी आमाले तिनलाई भनिन्, “हे मेरो छोरो, जुनसुकै सराप भए पनि त्यो ममाथि नै परोस्‌ । केवल मेरो कुरा मान्, र गएर ती मकहाँ ले ।”
14 So he went and got them and took them to his mother: and she made a meal to his father's taste.
तब तिनी गएर ती पाठा ल्‍याए र आमालाई दिए, र तिनकी आमाले याकूबका बुबालाई मनपर्ने स्‍वादिष्‍ठ तरकारी तयार गरिन्‌ ।
15 And Rebekah took the fair robes of her oldest son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son:
रिबेकाले घरमा भएका आफ्‍ना जेठो छोरो एसावका असल लुगाहरू झिकेर आफ्नो कान्‍छा छोरो याकूबलाई लगाइदिइन्‌ ।
16 And she put the skins of the young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck:
बाख्राका पाठाका छालाहरू तिनले याकूबका हात र घाँटीका रौँ नभएका भागमा लगाइदिइन्,
17 And she gave into the hand of Jacob, her son, the meat and the bread which she had made ready.
अनि आफूले तयार पारेका स्‍वादिष्‍ठ तरकारी र रोटी आफ्‍ना छोरा याकूबका हातमा दिइन्‌ ।
18 And he came to his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I: who are you, my son?
याकूबले आफ्‍ना पिताकहाँ गएर भने, “बुबा ।” इसहाकले भने, “हँ, तँ को होस्‌?”
19 And Jacob said, I am Esau, your oldest son; I have done as you said: come now, be seated and take of my meat, so that you may give me a blessing.
याकूबले आफ्‍ना पितालाई भने, “म तपाईंको जेठो छोरो एसाव हुँ । तपाईंले मलाई भनेबमोजिम मैले गरेको छु । अब उठेर बस्‍नुहोस्, र मैले ल्‍याएको सिकारको मासु खानुहोस्, र मलाई आशिष्‌ दिनुहोस्‌ ।”
20 And Isaac said, How is it that you have got it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the Lord your God made it come my way.
इसहाकले आफ्‍ना छोरालाई भने, “मेरो छोरो, कसरी तैँले यति चाँडै त्‍यो भेट्टाउन सकिस्‌?” तिनले भने, “परमप्रभु तपाईंका परमेश्‍वरले यसलाई मकहाँ ल्याउनुभयो ।”
21 And Isaac said, Come near so that I may put my hand on you, my son, and see if you are truly my son Esau or not.
इसहाकले याकूबलाई भने, “मेरो छोरो, नजिकै आइज, तँ मेरो छोरो एसाव होस्‌ कि होइनस्‌ म छामेर थाहा पाउन सकूँ ।”
22 And Jacob went near his father Isaac: and he put his hands on him; and he said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
याकूब आफ्‍ना पिताको नजिकै गए, र इसहाकले तिनलाई छामेर भने, “सोर त याकूबको हो, तर हातहरू त एसावकै हुन्‌ ।”
23 And he did not make out who he was, because his hands were covered with hair like his brother Esau's hands: so he gave him a blessing.
तिनका हातहरू तिनका दाजु एसावकै हातजस्‍ता रौँ नै रौँ भएका हुनाले इसहाकले तिनलाई चिनेनन्‌, त्यसैले इसहाकले तिनलाई आशिष्‌ दिए ।
24 And he said, Are you truly my son Esau? And he said, I am.
इसहाकले सोधे, “के तँ साँच्‍चै मेरो छोरो एसाव नै होस्‌?” याकूबले जवाफ दिए, “म एसाव नै हुँ ।”
25 And he said, Put it before me and I will take of my son's meat, so that I may give you a blessing. And he put it before him and he took it; and he gave him wine, and he had a drink.
तब इसहाकले भने, “तैँले शिकार गरेको मासु यहाँ ले, र म खानेछु, र तँलाई आशिष्‌ दिऊँ ।” याकूबले त्‍यो मासु आफ्‍ना पिताकहाँ ल्‍याए । उनले खाए र याकूबले दाखमद्य पनि लगिदिए, र उनले पिए ।
26 And his father Isaac said to him, Come near now, my son, and give me a kiss.
तब तिनका पिता इसहाकले तिनलाई भने, “मेरो छोरो, मेरो नजिकै आएर मलाई मलाई चुम्बन गर् ।”
27 And he came near and gave him a kiss; and smelling the smell of his clothing, he gave him a blessing, and said, See, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field on which the blessing of the Lord has come:
याकूब नजिक गएर आफ्‍ना पितालाई चुम्बन गरे । अनि इसहाकले तिनका लुगाहरूको गन्‍ध सुँघेर यसो भनी आशिष्‌ दिए, “हेर, मेरो छोराको बास्‍ना, परमप्रभुले आशिष्‌ दिनुभएको खेतको बास्‍नाजस्‍तै छ ।
28 May God give you the dew of heaven, and the good things of the earth, and grain and wine in full measure:
परमेश्‍वरले तँलाई आकाशको शीत र पृथ्‍वीको प्रचुरता अनि धेरै दाखमद्य र अन्‍न देऊन् ।
29 Let peoples be your servants, and nations go down before you: be lord over your brothers, and let your mother's sons go down before you: a curse be on everyone by whom you are cursed, and a blessing on those who give you a blessing.
मानिसहरूले तेरो सेवा गरून्‌ र जाति-जातिहरूले तँलाई दण्‍डवत्‌ गरून्‌ । तेरा दाजुभाइहरूको मालिक बन्, र तेरी आमाका छोराहरूले तँलाई दण्‍डवत्‌ गरून्‌ । तँलाई सराप्‍नेहरू सबै श्रापित होऊन्, र तँलाई आशिष्‌ दिनेहरू सबैले आशिष्‌ पाऊन्‌ ।”
30 And when Isaac had come to the end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob had not long gone away from Isaac his father, Esau came in from the field.
इसहाकले आशिष्‌ दिइसक्‍ने बित्तिकै याकूब आफ्‍ना पिता इसहाकको उपस्थितिबाट निस्‍केर गएका मात्र थिए, उनका उनका दाजु एसाव शिकार खेलेर आइपुगे ।
31 And he made ready a meal, good to the taste, and took it to his father, and said to him, Let my father get up and take of his son's meat, so that you may give me a blessing.
उनले पनि स्‍वादिष्‍ठ तरकारी तयार गरेर आफ्‍ना पिताकहाँ ल्‍याए । उनले आफ्‍नो पितालाई भने, “बुबा, उठेर आफ्‍नो छोराले ल्‍याएको सिकार खानुहोस्, र मलाई आशिष्‌ दिनुहोस्‌ ।”
32 And Isaac his father said to him, Who are you? And he said, I am your oldest son, Esau.
उनका पिता इसहाकले उनलाई सोधे, “तँ को होस्‌?” उनले उत्तर दिए, “म तपाईंको जेठो छोरो एसाव हुँ ।”
33 And in great fear Isaac said, Who then is he who got meat and put it before me, and I took it all before you came, and gave him a blessing, and his it will be?
इसहाक बेसरी कामे र भने, “त्यसो भए सिकार मारेर यहाँ मकहाँ ल्‍याउने त्यो को थियो? तँ आउन अगि नै मैले त्‍यो सबै खाएर त्‍यसलाई आशिष्‌ दिइसकेँ । वास्तवमा, त्‍योचाहिँ आशीर्वादी हुनेछ।”
34 And hearing the words of his father, Esau gave a great and bitter cry, and said to his father, Give a blessing to me, even to me, O my father!
जब एसावले आफ्‍ना पिता इसहाकका कुरा सुने तब उनी अत्‍यन्‍तै विह्वल भई चर्को सोरले रोए र आफ्‍ना पितालाई भने, “हे मेरा बुबा, मलाई पनि आशिष्‌ दिनुहोस्‌ ।”
35 And he said, Your brother came with deceit, and took away your blessing.
इसहाकले भने, “तेरो भाइ छल गरेर आयो, र तैंले पाउने आशिष्‌ लग्यो ।”
36 And he said, Is it because he is named Jacob that he has twice taken my place? for he took away my birthright, and now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Have you not kept a blessing for me?
एसावले भने, “त्‍यसको नाउँ याकूब राखिएको के ठिकै होइन? किनभने त्‍यसले मलाई दुई पल्‍ट ठग्यो । त्‍यसले मेरो ज्‍येष्‍ठ-अधिकार हर्‍यो, र अहिले मैले पाउने आशिष्‌ पनि लग्‍यो ।” उनले फेरि भने, “के तपाईंले मेरो निम्‍ति एउटै आशिष्‌ पनि जगेडा राख्‍नुभएको छैन?”
37 And Isaac answering said, But I have made him your master, and have given him all his brothers for servants; I have made him strong with grain and wine: what then am I to do for you, my son?
इसहाकले एसावलाई जवाफ दिए, “हेर्, मैले त्‍यसलाई तेरो मालिक तुल्‍याइसकेँ । र त्‍यसका सबै दाजुभाइहरूलाई मैले त्‍यसका दास तुल्‍याएँ । अन्‍न र दाखमद्यले मैले त्‍यसलाई तृप्‍त पारेको छु । अब तेरो निम्‍ति म के गर्न सक्‍छु र, छोरो?”
38 And Esau said to his father, Is that the only blessing you have, my father? give a blessing to me, even me! And Esau was overcome with weeping.
एसावले आफ्‍ना पितालाई भने, “तपाईंसित मेरो निम्ति एउटै मात्र आशिष्‌ छैन र मेरा बुबा? मलाई पनि त आशिष्‌ दिनुहोस्‌ ।” एसाव डाँको छोडेर रोए ।
39 Then Isaac his father made answer and said to him, Far from the fertile places of the earth, and far from the dew of heaven on high will your living-place be:
उनका पिता इसहाकले जवाफ दिएर भने, “हेर्, तँ बस्‍ने जमिन पृथ्‍वीको प्रशस्‍तताबाट बाहिरै हुनेछ, आकाशको शीतबाट बाहिर ।
40 By your sword will you get your living and you will be your brother's servant; but when your power is increased his yoke will be broken from off your neck.
तैंले आफ्‍नो तरवारको बलले जीविका चलाउनेछस् र तैंले तेरो भाइको सेवा गर्नेछस्‌ । तर जब तैंले विद्रोह गर्नेछस्, तब त्‍यसको जुवा तेरो काँधबाट हल्‍लाएर फ्‍याँक्‍नेछस्‌ ।”
41 So Esau was full of hate for Jacob because of his father's blessing; and he said in his heart, The days of weeping for my father are near; then I will put my brother Jacob to death.
आफ्‍ना पिताले याकूबलाई दिएको त्‍यस आशिष्‌ले गर्दा एसावले तिनलाई घृणा गर्न लागे । एसावले हृदयमा भने, “मेरा पिताको शोकको बेला नजिकै छ । त्‍यसपछि म मेरो भाइ याकूबलाई मार्नेछु ।”
42 Then Rebekah, hearing what Esau had said, sent for Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, It seems that your brother Esau is purposing to put you to death.
तिनका जेठा छोरा एसावको यो कुरा रिबेकालाई सुनाइयो । यसकारण रिबेकाले आफ्‍ना कान्‍छा छोरा याकूबलाई बोलाएर भनिन्, “हेर्, तेरो दाजु एसावले तँलाई मार्ने विचार गरेर आफ्‍नो चित्त बुझाएको छ ।
43 So now, my son, do what I say: go quickly to Haran, to my brother Laban;
यसकारण मेरो छोरो, मैले भनेको कुरा मान्‌ र हारानमा मेरा दाजु लाबानकहाँ भागेर जा ।
44 And be there with him for a little time, till your brother's wrath is turned away;
तँप्रति तेरो दाजुको रिस नमरुञ्‍जेल केही दिन त्‍यहाँ उनीसँग बस्‌ र
45 Till the memory of what you have done to him is past and he is no longer angry: then I will send word for you to come back; are the two of you to be taken from me in one day?
तैंले त्यसमाथि गरेको काम बिर्सन्छ । त्यसपछि म तँलाई त्‍यहाँबाट लिन पठाउनेछु । मैले एकै दिनमा तिमीहरू दुवै जनालाई किन गुमाउने?”
46 Then Rebekah said to Isaac, My life is a weariness to me because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob takes a wife from among the daughters of Heth, such as these, the women of this land, of what use will my life be to me?
रिबेकाले इसहाकलाई भनिन्, “यहाँका हित्ती स्‍त्रीहरूको कारण मेरो जीवनै हैरान भइसक्‍यो । यदि याकूबले यस देशका स्‍त्रीहरूजस्तै हित्तीका छोरीहरूमध्‍ये एउटीलाई विवाह गर्‍यो भने मेरो लागि मेरो जीवनको के फाइदा हुन्‍छ र?”
