Hosea 12
1 Ephraim feeds on wind, and follows after the east wind. He continually multiplies lies and desolation. And they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.
एफ्राइमले हावा खान्छ र त्यसले पूर्वीय बतासको पछि लाग्छ । त्यसले झुट र हिंसालाई निरन्तर बढाउँछ । तिनीहरूले अश्शूरसँग करार बाँध्दछन् र मिश्रदेशमा जैतूनको तेल लान्छन् ।
2 Jehovah has also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways. He will recompense him according to his doings.
यहूदाको विरुद्ध परमप्रभुसँग एउटा मुद्धा छ र याकूबले जे गरेको छ, त्यसको लागि दण्ड दिनुहुनेछ । त्यसका कामहरूका निम्ति उहाँले त्यसलाई बदला दिनुहुनेछ ।
3 In the womb he took his brother by the heel, and in his manhood he had strength with God.
गर्भमा नै याकूबले आफ्नो दाजुको कुर्कुच्चा समाते, र आफ्नो जवान अवस्थामा तिनले परमेश्वरसँग लडन्त गरे ।
4 Yea, he had strength over the agent, and prevailed, as he wept, and made supplication to him. He found him at Bethel, and there he spoke with us.
तिनले स्वर्गदूतसँग लडन्त गरे र जिते । तिनी रोए र उहाँको निगाहको निम्ति बिन्ती गरे । तिनले बेथेलमा परमेश्वरलाई भेटे । त्यहाँ तिनीसँग परमेश्वर बोल्नुभयो ।
5 Even Jehovah, the God of hosts, Jehovah is his memorial.
उहाँ सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ । पुकारा गर्नुपर्ने उहाँको नाउँ “परमप्रभु” हो ।
6 Therefore turn thou to thy God. Keep kindness and justice, and wait for thy God continually.
यसैले आफ्नो परमेश्वरकहाँ फर्क । करारको विश्वस्तता र न्याय कायम राख र आफ्नो परमेश्वरमा निरन्तर पर्ख ।
7 He is a Canaanite. The balances of deceit are in his hand. He loves to oppress.
व्यापारीहरूका हातमा छलको तराजु रहेको छ, तिनीहरूलाई छल गर्न मन पराउँछन् ।
8 And Ephraim said, Surely I have become rich. I have found wealth for myself. In all my labors they shall find no iniquity in me that is sin.
एफ्राइमले भन्यो, “निश्चय नै म धेरै धनी भएको छु । आफ्नो निम्ति मैले धनसम्पत्ति पाएको छु । मेरो सबै काममा कुनै अपराध हुने कुरा, पाप हुने कुनै कुरा तिनीहरूले भेट्टाउनेछैनन् ।”
9 But I am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt. I will yet again make thee to dwell in tents, as in the days of the solemn feast.
“मिश्रदेशदेखि नै म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर हुँ । तोकिएको चाडका दिनहरूमा झैं, तिमीहरूलाई फेरि म पालहरूमा बस्ने बनाउनेछु ।
10 I have also spoken to the prophets, and I have multiplied visions. And by the ministry of the prophets I have used similitudes.
म अगमवक्ताहरूसँग बोलें, र तिमीहरूका निम्ति मैले तिनीहरूलाई धेरै दर्शनहरू दिएँ । अगमवक्ताहरूका हातद्वारा मैले दृष्टान्तहरू दिएँ ।”
11 Is Gilead iniquity? They are altogether false. In Gilgal they sacrifice bullocks. Yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the field.
गिलादमा दुष्टता छ भने, निश्चय नै त्यहाँका मानिसहरू बेकामका छन् । गिलगालमा तिनीहरू साँढेहरू बलि चढाउँछन् । तिनीहरूका वेदीहरू जोतेको खेतमा ढुङ्गाका थुप्रोझैं हुनेछन् ।
12 And Jacob fled into the field of Aram, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
याकूब अरामको देशमा भागे । एक जना पत्नी पाउनलाई इस्राएलले काम गरे, र एक जना पत्नी पाउनलाई तिनले भेडाका बगालको रेखदेख गरे ।
13 And by a prophet Jehovah brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was preserved.
परमप्रभुले एक जना अगमवक्ताद्वारा इस्राएललाई मिश्रदेशबाट बाहिर ल्याउनुभयो, र एक जना अगमवक्ताद्वारा नै उहाँले तिनीहरूको रेखदेख गर्नुभयो ।
14 Ephraim has provoked to anger most bitterly. Therefore his blood shall be left upon him, and his reproach his Lord shall return to him.
एफ्राइमले परमप्रभुलाई अत्यन्तै क्रोधित पारेको छ । यसैले त्यसका परमप्रभुले त्यसको रगतको दोष त्यसमाथि नै छोड्नुहुनेछ र त्यसको अपमान त्यसैलाई फर्काउनुहुनेछ ।
