Genesis 31
1 Now it came to the ears of Jacob that Laban's sons were saying, Jacob has taken away all our father's property, and in this way he has got all this wealth.
याकूबले लाबानका छोराहरूले यसो भनेका सुने, “हाम्रा पिताका सबै थोक याकूबले लिएका छन्, र हाम्रा पिताका सम्पत्तिबाट नै तिनले यी सबै सम्पत्ति पाएका हुन् ।”
2 And Jacob saw that Laban's feeling for him was no longer what it had been before.
याकूबले लाबानको व्यवहार देखे । याकूबप्रति लाबानको मनसाय परिवर्तन भइसकेको याकूबले देखे ।
3 Then the Lord said to Jacob, Go back to the land of your fathers, and to your relations, and I will be with you.
तब परमप्रभुले याकूबलाई भन्नुभयो, “तेरा पुर्खाहरू र तेरा आफन्तहरूको देशमा फर्केर जा, र म तँसित हुनेछु ।”
4 And Jacob sent for Rachel and Leah to come to him in the field among his flock.
याकूबले राहेल र लेआलाई आफ्नो बगालको खेतमा बोलाउन पठाए,
5 And he said to them, It is clear to me that your father's feeling is no longer what it was to me; but the God of my father has been with me
र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “मप्रतिको तिमीहरूका पिताको मनसाय परिवर्तन भएको म देख्छु, तर मेरा पिताका परमेश्वर मसित हुनुभएको छ ।
6 And you have seen how I have done all in my power for your father,
मेरो सारा शक्ति लगाएर मैले तिमीहरूका पिताको सेवा गरेको कुरा त तिमीहरूलाई थाहै छ ।
7 But your father has not kept faith with me, and ten times he has made changes in my payment; but God has kept him from doing me damage.
तिमीहरूका पिताले मलाई ठगेका छन्, र मेरो ज्याला दस पटक बद्लेका छन्, तर परमेश्वरले तिनलाई मेरो हानि गर्न दिनुभएको छैन ।
8 If he said, All those in the flock which have marks are to be yours, then all the flock gave birth to marked young; and if he said, All the banded ones are to be yours, then all the flock had banded young.
'थोप्ले जनावरहरू तिम्रो ज्याला हुनेछ' भनी तिनले भन्दा सबै बगालले थोप्ले पाठा-पाठी नै जन्माए । 'पेटारेहरू तिम्रो ज्याला हुनेछ' भनी तिनले भन्दा सारा बगालले पेटारे पाठा-पाठीहरू नै जन्माए ।
9 So God has taken away your father's cattle and has given them to me.
यसरी परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूका पिताका गाईबस्तु मलाई दिनुभएको छ ।
10 And at the time when the flock were with young, I saw in a dream that all the he-goats which were joined with the she-goats were banded and marked and coloured.
एक पटक बगाल मिसिने समयमा मैले सपनामा बोकाहरू बगालमा सँगसँगै भएको देखेँ । बोकाहरू छिर्केमिर्के, पेटारे र थोप्ले थिए ।
11 And in my dream the angel of the Lord said to me, Jacob: and I said, Here am I.
सपनामा परमेश्वरका दूतले मलाई भने, 'हे याकूब!' मैले जवाफ दिएँ, “हजुर, म यहाँ छु ।'
12 And he said, See how all the he-goats are banded and marked and coloured: for I have seen what Laban has done to you.
उहाँले भन्नुभयो, 'तेरा आँखा उठाएर सबै बोका बगालमाथि चढिरहेको हेर् । तिनीहरू छिर्केमिर्के, पेटारे र थोप्ले छन् किनकि लाबानले तँलाई गरेको हरेक कुरा मैले देखेको छु ।
13 I am the God of Beth-el, where you put oil on the pillar and took an oath to me: now then, come out of this land and go back to the country of your birth.
म बेथेलको परमेश्वर हुँ जहाँ तैँले खामोलाई अभिषेक गरिस् र मसित भाकल गरिस् । अब उठ् र यस देश छाडेर तेरो जन्मभूमिमा फर्कि' ।”
14 Then Rachel and Leah said to him in answer, What part or heritage is there for us in our father's house?
राहेल र लेआले तिनलाई जवाफ दिएर भने, “के हाम्रा पिताको घरमा हाम्रा निम्ति हकको कुनै भाग छ र? के उहाँले हामीलाई विदेशीहरूलाई जस्तै व्यवहार गर्नुभएको छैन र?
15 Are we not as people from a strange country to him? for he took a price for us and now it is all used up.
किनकि उहाँले हामीलाई बेच्नुभएको छ, र हाम्रो रुपियाँ-पैसा पूर्ण रूपमा सखाप पार्नुभएको छ ।
16 For the wealth which God has taken from him is ours and our children's; so now, whatever God has said to you, do.
हाम्रा पिताबाट परमेश्वरले लैजानुभएका सबै सम्पत्ति अब हाम्रा र हाम्रा छोराछोरीहरूका भएका छन् । त्यसो भए, अब परमेश्वरले तपाईंलाई जे भन्नुभएको छ, सो गर्नुहोस् ।”
17 Then Jacob put his wives and his sons on camels;
त्यसपछि याकूब उठे, र तिनले आफ्ना छोराहरू र पत्नीहरूलाई ऊँटहरूमाथि राखे ।
18 And sending on before him all his cattle and his property which he had got together in Paddan-aram, he made ready to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
तिनले पद्दन-आराममा आफूले प्राप्त गरेका आफ्ना सबै गाईबस्तु र सबै सम्पत्तिलाई आफ्नो अगिअगि पठाए । त्यसपछि तिनी कनान देशमा आफ्ना पिता इसहाककहाँ जान निस्के ।
19 Now Laban had gone to see to the cutting of the wool of his sheep; so Rachel secretly took the images of the gods of her father's house.
लाबान आफ्ना भेडाहरूको ऊन कत्रन जाँदा राहेलले आफ्ना पिताका घर-देवताहरू चोरिन् ।
20 And Jacob went away secretly, without giving news of his flight to Laban the Aramaean.
अरामी लाबानलाई थाहा नदिई घर छाडेकाले याकूबले तिनलाई पनि छल गरे ।
21 So he went away with all he had, and went across the River in the direction of the hill-country of Gilead.
आफूसित भएका सबै थोक लिएर तिनी भागे, र छिट्टै महानदी पार गरेर गिलादको पहाडी देशतर्फ अगाडि बढे ।
22 And on the third day Laban had news of Jacob's flight.
याकूब भागेको कुरा लाबानलाई तेस्रो दिनमा बताइयो ।
23 And taking the men of his family with him, he went after him for seven days and overtook him in the hill-country of Gilead.
त्यसैले तिनले आफूसित आफ्ना आफन्तहरू लिई सात दिनसम्म तिनको पिछा गरे । लाबानले गिलादको पहाडी देशमा तिनलाई भेट्टाए ।
24 Then God came to Laban in a dream by night, and said to him, Take care that you say nothing good or bad to Jacob.
राती सपनामा परमेश्वर अरामी लाबानकहाँ देखा पर्नुभई तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तैँले याकूबसित असल वा खराब कुनै कुरो नभन्न होसियार हो ।”
25 Now when Laban overtook him, Jacob had put up his tent in the hill-country; and Laban and his brothers put up their tents in the hill-country of Gilead.
लाबानले याकूबलाई भेट्टाउँदा याकूब त्यस पहाडी देशमा पाल टाँगेर बसेका थिए । गिलादको पहाडी देशमा लाबान पनि आफ्ना आफन्तहरूसँगै पाल टाँगेर बसे ।
26 And Laban said to Jacob, Why did you go away secretly, taking my daughters away like prisoners of war?
लाबानले याकूबलाई भने, “तिमीले मेरा छोरीहरूलाई युद्धका कैदीहरूलाई जस्तै गरी लगेर मलाई छल गरी यो के गरेको?
27 Why did you make a secret of your flight, not giving me word of it, so that I might have sent you away with joy and songs, with melody and music?
किन तिमीले मलाई नबताईकन सुटुक्क भागेर धोका दियौ? गीत गाउँदै वीणा र खैँजडी बजाउँदै उत्सवको साथमा मैले तिमीलाई बिदा गर्ने थिएँ ।
28 You did not even let me give a kiss to my sons and my daughters. This was a foolish thing to do.
तिमीले मेरा नातिहरू र छोरीहरूलाई बिदाइको चुम्बन गर्ने अनुमति पनि दिएनौ । तिमीले मूर्खतापूर्वक काम गर्यौ ।
29 It is in my power to do you damage: but the God of your father came to me this night, saying, Take care that you say nothing good or bad to Jacob.
तिमीलाई हानि गर्ने शक्ति मसित छ, तर तिम्रा परमेश्वर गत रात मसित यसो भन्दै बोल्नुभयो, 'तैँले याकूबसित असल वा खराब कुनै कुरो नभन्न होसियार हो ।'
30 And now, it seems, you are going because your heart's desire is for your father's house; but why have you taken my gods?
अब तिमीले आफ्ना पिताको घरमा फर्कने चाहना गरेकाले तिमी आइसकेका छौ । तर तिमीले मेरा घर-देवताहरू किन चोरी गर्यौ?
31 And Jacob, in answer, said to Laban, My fear was that you might take your daughters from me by force.
याकूबले लाबानलाई जवाफ दिई भने, “तपाईंले आफ्ना छोरीहरू मबाट जबरजस्ती खोसेर लैजानुहुने थियो भनी मैले ठानेकाले म डराएको थिएँ । त्यसैले म सुटुक्क भागेँ ।
32 As for your gods, if anyone of us has them, let him be put to death: make search before us all for what is yours, and take it. For Jacob had no knowledge that Rachel had taken them.
तपाईंका घर-देवताहरू जोसुकैले चोरेको भए तापनि अबदेखि त्यो बाँच्नेछैन । हाम्रा आफन्तहरूको उपस्थितिमा तपाईंसित भएको कुनै थोक मसित छ भने चिनेर लैजानुहोस् ।” राहेलले ती चोरेकी थिइन् भनी याकूबलाई थाहा थिएन ।
33 So Laban went into Jacob's tent and into Leah's tent, and into the tents of the two servant-women, but they were not there; and he came out of Leah's tent and went into Rachel's.
लाबान याकूब र लेआको पालसाथै दुई जना कमारीका पालभित्र गए, तर तिनले ती घर-देवताहरू पाएनन् । तिनी लेआको पालबाट बाहिर आई राहेलको पालभित्र पसे ।
34 Now Rachel had taken the images, and had put them in the camels' basket, and was seated on them. And Laban, searching through all the tent, did not come across them.
राहेलले ती घर-देवताहरू ल्याएकी थिइन् र तिनलाई ऊँटको काठीमा लुकाएकी थिइन् । उनी तीमाथि बसेकी थिइन् । लाबानले पुरै पालमा खोजी गरे तापनि ती पाएनन् ।
35 And she said to her father, Let not my lord be angry because I do not get up before you, for I am in the common condition of women. And with all his searching, he did not come across the images.
उनले आफ्ना पितालाई भनिन्, “हजुर मसित नरिसाउनुहोला । म महिनावरी भएकीले म तपाईंको सामु उठ्न सक्दिनँ ।” त्यसैले तिनले खोजी गरे तापनि ती घर-देवताहरू भेट्टाएनन् ।
36 Then Jacob was angry with Laban, and said, What crime or sin have I done that you have come after me with such passion?
याकूब रिसाए र तिनले लाबानलाई हप्काए, “मेरो दोष के हो? मेरो पाप के हो जसको लागि तपाईंले मेरो यसरी पिछा गर्नुभयो?
37 Now that you have made search through all my goods, what have you seen which is yours? Make it clear now before my people and your people, so that they may be judges between us.
तपाईंले मेरा सबै मालसामानको खोजी गरिसक्नुभयो । के तपाईंले कुनै आफ्ना घरेलु सामानहरू फेला पार्नुभयो? पाउनुभएको छ भने ती हाम्रा आफन्तहरूको सामु राखिदिनुहोस् ताकि तिनीहरूले हामी दुईको बिचमा न्याय गरून् ।
38 These twenty years I have been with you; your sheep and your goats have had young without loss, not one of your he-goats have I taken for food.
बिस वर्षसम्म म तपाईंसँगै थिएँ । तपाईंका भेडीहरू र बाख्रीहरूका गर्भ कहिल्यै तुहिएन, न त मैले तपाईंका बगालबाट भेडाहरू खाएँ ।
39 Anything which was wounded by beasts I did not take to you, but myself made up for the loss of it; you made me responsible for whatever was taken by thieves, by day or by night.
जङ्गली जनावरहरूले फहराएकाहरूलाई मैले तपाईंकहाँ ल्याउन्नथेँ । बरु, मैले त्यसको क्षतिपूर्ति तिर्थें । दिनमा चोरी भएर होस् वा रातमा चोरी भएर होस्, तपाईंले मलाई सधैँ हराएको हरेक पशुको मोल तिराउनुभयो ।
40 This was my condition, wasted by heat in the day and by the bitter cold at night; and sleep went from my eyes.
मेरो हालत यस्तो थियो, कि दिउँसो गर्मीले मलाई पोल्थ्यो भने राती चिसोले ठिर्याउँथ्यो । मलाई निद्रा लाग्दैनथ्यो ।
41 These twenty years I have been in your house; I was your servant for fourteen years because of your daughters, and for six years I kept your flock, and ten times was my payment changed.
यी बिस वर्ष म तपाईंको घरमा रहेँ । तपाईंका दुई छोरीका लागि मैले चौध वर्ष तपाईंको सेवा गरेँ, र बगालको लागि छ वर्ष सेवा गरेँ । तपाईंले दस पटक मेरो ज्याला बद्लनुभएको छ ।
42 If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, you would have sent me away with nothing in my hands. But God has seen my troubles and the work of my hands, and this night he kept you back.
मेरा पिताका परमेश्वर जो अब्राहामका परमेश्वर र इसहाकका भय हुनुहुन्छ, उहाँ मसित नहुनुभएको भए निश्चय नै तपाईंले मलाई रित्तै हात पठाउनुहुने थियो । परमेश्वरले ममाथिको थिचोमिचो र मैले गरेको कडा परिश्रम देख्नुभएको छ । त्यसैले उहाँले गत रात तपाईंलाई हप्काउनुभयो ।”
43 Then Laban, answering, said, These women are my daughters and these children my children, the flocks and all you see are mine: what now may I do for my daughters and for their children?
लाबानले याकूबलाई जवाफ दिई भने, “यी छोरीहरू मेरै छोरीहरू हुन्; यी नातिनातिनाहरू मेरै नातिनातिनाहरू हुन् र यी बगालहरू मेरै बगालहरू हुन् । तिमीले देखेका यी सबै मेरै हुन् । तर आज यी मेरा छोरीहरू र तिनीहरूले जन्माएका छोराछोरीहरूलाई म के नै गर्न सक्छु र?
44 Come, let us make an agreement, you and I; and let it be for a witness between us.
त्यसैले अब तिमी र मेरो बिचमा एउटा करार बाँधौँ अनि यही करार तिमी र मेरो बिचको गवाही होस् ।”
45 Then Jacob took a stone and put it up as a pillar.
त्यसकारण याकूबले एउटा ढुङ्गो लिएर त्यसलाई खामोको रूपमा खडा गरे ।
46 And Jacob said to his people, Get stones together; and they did so; and they had a meal there by the stones.
याकूबले आफ्ना आफन्तहरूलाई भने, “ढुङ्गाहरू जम्मा गर ।” तिनीहरूले ढुङ्गाहरूको थुप्रो लगाए । त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले त्यही थुप्रोनेर खानपान गरे ।
47 And the name Laban gave it was Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob gave it the name of Galeed.
लाबानले त्यसको नाउँ यगर-सहदूता राखे, तर याकूबले त्यसलाई गलेद भने ।
48 And Laban said, These stones are a witness between you and me today. For this reason its name was Galeed,
लाबानले भने, “आज यो थुप्रो तिमी र मेरो बिचमा गवाहीको रूपमा खडा छ । त्यसकारण यसको नाउँ गलेद राखियो ।
49 And Mizpah, for he said, May the Lord keep watch on us when we are unable to see one another's doings.
यसलाई मिस्पा पनि भनिन्छ किनभने लाबानले यसो भनेका थिए, “हामी एक-अर्काको दृष्टिबाट अलग हुँदा परमप्रभुले तिमी र मेरो हेरचाह गरून् ।
50 If you are cruel to my daughters, or if you take other wives in addition to my daughters, then though no man is there to see, God will be the witness between us.
तिमीले मेरा छोरीहरूलाई दुर्व्यवहार गर्यौ वा तिमीले मेरा छोरीहरूबाहेक अन्य पत्नीहरू ल्यायौ भने हामीसित कोही नभए तापनि परमेश्वर तिम्रो र मेरो बिचमा गवाही हुनुहुन्छ ।”
51 And Laban said, See these stones and this pillar which I have put between you and me;
लाबानले याकूबलाई भने, “तिम्रो र मेरो बिचमा मैले खडा गरेको यो थुप्रो र यो खामोलाई हेर ।
52 They will be witness that I will not go over these stones to you, and you will not go over these stones or this pillar to me, for any evil purpose.
तिम्रो हानि गर्नलाई म यो पार गरेर तिमीकहाँ आउनेछैनँ र मेरो हानि गर्नलाई तिमी यो पार गरेर मकहाँ आउनेछैनौ भन्नाका लागि यो थुप्रो र यो खामो गवाहीको रूपमा खडा छन् ।
53 May the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, be our judge. Then Jacob took an oath by the Fear of his father Isaac.
अब्राहामका परमेश्वर, नाहोरका परमेश्वर र तिनीहरूका पिताका परमेश्वरले हाम्रो बिचमा न्याय गरून् । याकूबले आफ्ना पिता इसहाकको भयलाई साक्षी मानी शपथ खाए ।
54 And Jacob made an offering on the mountain, and gave orders to his people to take food: so they had a meal and took their rest that night on the mountain.
याकूबले त्यस पहाडमा बलिदान चढाए र आफ्ना आफन्तहरूलाई खानपानको लागि बोलाए । तिनीहरूले खानपान गरे, अनि पुरै रात त्यही पहाडमा बिताए ।
55 And early in the morning Laban, after kissing and blessing his daughters, went on his way back to his country.
लाबान बिहान सबेरै उठे । तिनले आफ्ना नातिहरू, आफ्ना छोरीहरूलाई चुम्बन गरी आशिष् दिए । त्यसपछि लाबान बिदा भई घर फर्के ।
