Genesis 39
1 जुन व्यापारीले यूसुफलाई किन्यो उनले यूसुफलाई मिश्र देशमा लिएर गए। उनले यूसुफलाई फिरऊनको अगंरक्षकहरूको सेनापतिलाई बेचिदियो।
2 तर परमप्रभुले यूसुफलाई सहायता गर्नु भयो। यूसुफ एउटा सफल मानिस भयो। यूसुफ आफ्नो मिश्री मालिक पोतीफरको घरमा बस्यो।
3 पोतीफरले थाहा पायो परमप्रभुले यूसुफलाई सहायता गर्नु भएको छ। उनले यो पनि थाहा पायो यूसुफले जे गर्छ त्यसमा उसलाई सफल पार्न परमप्रभुले सहायता गर्नु भएको हुन्छ।
4 यसकारण यूसुफलाई पाएर पोतीफर अत्यन्तै खुशी थियो। पोतीफरले उसलाई आफ्नो काम गराउन तथा घरमा व्यवस्था मिलाउने काममा लगायो। पोतीफरको प्रत्येक कुरोमा उसको अधिकार थियो।
5 जब यूसुफ पोतीफरको घरमा प्रत्येक चीजको अधिकारी बनियो तब परमप्रभुले पोतीफरको घरमा रहेको प्रत्येक चीजमा आशीर्वाद दिनुभयो। परमप्रभुले यूसुफको कारणले यसो गर्नु भयो अनि पोतीफरको खेतीमा उब्जने प्रत्येक चीजलाई परमप्रभुले आशीर्वाद दिनु भयो।
6 यसैले पोतीफरले यूसुफलाई आफ्नो घरको प्रत्येक चीजको जिम्मावारी लगायो। पोतीफरले कुनै कुराको चिन्ता गर्दैनथ्यो ऊ खाली आफ्नो भोजनको विषयमा मात्र चिन्ता गर्दथ्यो।यूसुफ अत्यन्तै सुन्दर र राम्रो थियो।
7 केही समयपछि यूसुफको मालिककी पत्नीले उसलाई प्रेम गर्न थालीन्। एकदिन उनले भनिन्, “मसँग सुत्।”
8 तर यूसुफ मानेन। उनले भने, “मेरो मालिक यस घरको प्रत्येक चीजको निम्ति मलाई विश्वास गर्छन। उनले यस घरको प्रत्येक चीजको लागि मलाई जिम्मावारी दिएका छन्।
9 मेरा मालिकले मलाई आफू समान सम्झन्छन्। तर मैले उसकी पत्नीसित सुत्नु हुँदैन। यो उचित होइन। यो परमेश्वरको बिरूद्धमा पाप हो।”
10 त्यो स्त्रीले प्रत्येक दिननै यूसुफसित कुरा गर्थी। तर यूसुफले ऊसित सुत्न अस्वीकार गर्दथियो।
11 एक दिन यूसुफ आफ्नो कामको निम्ति घरभित्र पसेको थियो। त्यस बेला लोग्ने मानिस त्यस घरमा ऊ मात्रै थियो।
12 उसका मालिककी पत्नीले यूसुफको लुगा समाती अनि उसलाई भनी, “तिमी मसित ओछ्यानमा आऊ।” तर यूसुफ त्यहाँबाट यति चाँडो भाग्यो कि उसको लुगा मालिककी पत्नीको हातमा नै रह्यो।
13 त्यस मानिसकि पत्नीले देखी उसको लुगा उसैको हातैमा थियो अनि यूसुफ घरदेखि बाहिर भागेर गए। यसर्थ उनले निश्चय गरी जे भएको थियो त्यस विषयमा झूटो प्रचार गर्नुपर्छ।
14 ऊ बाहिरका मानिसहरूलाई बोलाउन गई। उनले भनी, “हेर, यो हिब्रू कमारा हाम्रो बेइज्जत गर्न यहाँ आएको थियो। ऊ भित्र आयो अनि मसित सुत्ने कोशिश गर्यो, तर म साह्रै चिच्याएँ।
15 म चिच्चाएकोले गर्दा त्यो डरायो अनि यहाँबाट भाग्यो। तर उनले आफ्नो कोट मसितै छोडेर गयो।”
16 यसकारण उनले आफ्नो लोग्ने घर फर्कुन्जेलसम्म त्यो लुगा आफूसँगै राखी।
17 अनि उनले आफ्नो लोग्नेलाई त्यही कथा सुनाई। उनले भनिन, “तिमीले ल्याएको हिब्रू दासले मसित ब्यभिचार गरेर लज्जित पार्यो।
18 जब ऊ मकहाँ आयो म चिच्चाएँ अनि त्यो भाग्यो तर त्यसले आफ्नो लुगा छोडेर गयो।”
19 जति बेला यूसुफको मालिकले कथा सुने, तिनी साह्रै नै रिसाए।
20 त्यहाँ एउटा झ्यालखाना थियो अनि त्यसमा राजाका शत्रुहरूलाई राखिन्थ्यो। पोतीफरले यूसुफलाई त्यही झ्यालखानामा राख्यो अनि यूसुफ त्यही बसिरह्यो।
21 तर परमप्रभु यूसुफसित हुनुहुन्थ्यो। उहाँ संधै ऊसंग दयालु हुनुहुन्थ्यो।
22 उहाँले अरू कैदीहरूको प्रमुख यूसुफलाई बनाए अनि एक रक्षकबाट गरिनु पर्ने प्रत्येक कुरो तिनलाई गर्न लगाए।
23 रक्षकहरूका अधिकारीले झ्यालखानको सबै कुराहरूमा यूसुफमाथि विश्वास गर्थे। यस्तो यसकारण हुने भयो कारण परमप्रभुले यूसुफलाई सहायता गर्नुहुन्थ्यो। यूसुफले जे गर्थ्यो परमप्रभुले उसलाई सफल गराउनु हुन्थ्यो।
1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.
2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 And his master saw that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
5 And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.
6 And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
8 But he refused, and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
11 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.
12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
14 That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:
15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.
16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.
17 And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:
18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.
19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
20 And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.
21 But the Lord was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.
23 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the Lord was with him, and that which he did, the Lord made it to prosper.
Genesis 15 in Tamil and English
1 यी सब कुराहरू भई सकेपछि अब्रामलाई परमप्रभुबाट दर्शनद्वारा केही संदेशहरू आए। परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “अब्राम तिमी नडराऊ। म तिम्रो ढाल हुँ। तिम्रो इनाम अत्यन्त विशाल हुनेछ।”
After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
2 अब्रामले भने, “हे परमप्रभु परमेश्वर! हजुरले मलाई के दिनुहुन्छ? यस्तो हजुरले दिंदा मलाई खुशी पार्ने केही छैन। किन? किनभने, मसित छोरा छैन। यसर्थ मेरो घरमा जन्मेको कमारा दमीसकको एलीएजरले मेरो मृत्यु पछाडी मसँग भएका सबै सम्पत्ति पाउँनेछ।”
And Abram said, Lord God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
3 अब्रामले भने, “तपाईंले मलाई एउटा छोरा दिनुभएको छैन, अतः मेरो घरमा जन्मेको कमाराले मेरो जम्मै सम्पत्ति पाउनेछ।”
And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
4 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले अब्रामसित कुरा गर्नु भयो। परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “तिमीसँग भएको सम्पत्ति त्यो कमारोले पाउँदैन। तिम्रो आफ्नै छोरो जन्मनेछ। अनि तिम्रो सम्पत्तिको उत्तराधिकारी उही तिम्रो छोरो हुनेछ।”
And, behold, the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
5 त्यसपछि परमेश्वरले अब्रामलाई बाहिर लानु भयो र भन्नुभयो, “आकाशमा हेर, तिमीले त्यहाँ यति धेरै ताराहरू देख्नेछौ गन्नु सक्तैनौ। भविष्यमा तिम्रा पनि त्यति धेरै सन्तानहरू हुनेछन्।”
And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
6 अब्रामले परमेश्वरलाई विश्वास गरे अनि परमेश्वरले अब्रामको विश्वासलाई विचार गर्नुभयो कि उसले वास्तवमा के गराउन चाहन्थे।
And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
7 परमेश्वरले अब्रामलाई भन्नुभयो, “म उही परमप्रभु हुँ जसले तिमीलाई कल्दीहरूको ऊरबाट ल्यायो। मैले यसो गर्नुको तात्पर्य तिमीलाई यो भूमि दिनु हो, यो भूमि तिमीले ग्रहण गर्नेछौ।”
And he said unto him, I am the Lord that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
8 तर अब्रामले भने, “हे परमप्रभु मेरा मालिक, यो भूमि मैले नै पाउनेछु भनी म कसरी थाहा पाउन सक्छु?”
And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
9 परमेश्वरले अब्रामलाई भन्नुभयो, “हामी एउटा करार गर्नेछौं। एउटा तीन वर्षको कोरली, त्यसरी नै तीन वर्ष पुगेको बाख्रा अनि तीन वर्ष पुगेको एउटा भेडा ल्याऊ। अनि एउटा ढुक्कुर र एउटा परेवाको बच्चा पनि ल्याऊ।”
And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
10 परमेश्वरको निम्ति अब्रामले यी सबै कुराहरू ल्याएर यी सबै कुराको बलि चढाई ती सबलाई दुई-दुई टुक्रा पारे। तब अब्रामले प्रत्येक आधा भागलाई अर्को आधा भाग माथि र्तेस्याए। तर तिनले पंक्षीहरूलाई टुक्रा पारेनन्।
And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
11 पछि, ती पशुको मासु खान ठूला-ठूला पंक्षीहरू उडेर आए तर अब्रामले तिनीहरूलाई धपाए।
And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
12 पछि सूर्य अस्ताउन लाग्दा अब्रामलाई साह्रै निन्द्रा लाग्यो। चुक झैं कालो अन्धकारले उसलाई चारै तिरबाट घेर्यो।
And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
13 तब परमप्रभुले अब्रामलाई भन्नुभयो, “तैंले यो निश्चय जान्नु पर्छ, तिम्रा सन्तानहरू विदेशी हुनेछन्, तिनीहरू त्यस धर्तीमा जानेछन् जो तिनीहरूको होइन, तिनीहरू त्यहाँ कमारा-कमारीको रूपमा चार सय वर्षसम्म सेवा गर्नेछन् अनि तिनीहरूसित धेरै खराब व्यवहार गरिनेछ। चार सय वर्षसम्म तिनीहरूले धेरै दुर्व्यवहार र अन्याय सहनु पर्नेछ।
And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
14 म त्यो जाति जसले तिम्रा सन्तानहरूलाई कमारा-कमारी बनाए तिनीहरूको न्याय गर्नेछु अनि जब तिमीपछि आउँने तिम्रा सन्तानहरूले त्यो देश छोडनेछन्, तिनीहरूले आफूसित धेरै राम्रा चीजहरू ल्याउँछन्।
And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
15 “तर जहाँसम्म तेरो कुरा छ, तँ मनग्गे बाँच्नेछस्। तँ शान्तिपूर्वक मर्नेछस् अनि तँ त्यहीं गाडिनेछस् जहाँ तेरा पिता-पुर्खाहरूलाई गाडिएको थियो।
And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
16 चार पुस्तापछि तिम्रा सन्तानहरू यही देशमा फर्केर आउनेछन् र तिनीहरूले एमोरीहरूलाई हराउँनेछन्। यहाँ बस्ने एमोरीहरूलाई सजाय भोग्न लगाउन म ती तिम्रा सन्तानहरूलाई प्रयोगमा ल्याउनेछु। यी सब कुराहरूपछि हुन्छ कारण ती एमोरीहरू अहिले सजाय पाउनुको निम्ति त्यति नराम्रो भई सकेका छैनन्।”
But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
17 जब सूर्य अस्तायो, अत्यन्तै अंन्धकार छायो। बलि चढाई मारिएका पशुहरू दुइ-दुइ टुक्रामा अहिलेसम्म जमीनमा लडिरहेको थिए। त्यही समयमा धुँवाको मुस्लो जसमा बल्दै गरेको ज्वाला थियो ती मारेर टुक्रा पारिएको पशुहरू बीचबाट गए।
And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
18 यस प्रकारले त्यसै दिन परमप्रभुले अब्रामसित एउटा सम्झौता गर्नु भयो अनि भन्नुभयो, “तेरा सन्तानहरूका लागि मात्र म यो घरती दिनेछु।
In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
19 तिनीहरूलाई म मिश्रको नदीदेखि यूफ्रेटिस महानदीसम्म केनी कदमोनी, कनज्जी,
The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
20 हित्ती, परिज्जी, रपाई,
And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
21 एमोरी कनानी, गिर्गाशी तथा यबूसी दिनेछु। यो सम्पूर्ण भूमि मिश्रको नदी अनि यूफ्रेटिस नदीको माझमा पर्छ।”
And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
