< Hosea 8 >

1 “Put the trumpet to your lips! Something like an eagle is over the LORD’s house, because they have broken my covenant and rebelled against my law.
“तुरही फुक्‍न तयार होओ! परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिरमाथि एउटा गरुड आउँदैछ, किनभने मानिसहरूले मेरो करार भङ्ग गरेका छन्, र मेरो व्यवस्थाको विरुद्ध बागी भएका छन् ।
2 They cry to me, ‘My God, we, Israel, acknowledge you!’
तिनीहरू मलाई पुकारा गर्छन्, ‘हे मेरा परमेश्‍वर, इस्राएलीमा हामी तपाईंलाई चिन्दछौं ।’
3 Israel has cast off that which is good. The enemy will pursue him.
तर इस्राएलले जे असल छ त्यो इन्‍कार गरेको छ, र सत्रुले त्यसलाई खेद्‍नेछ ।
4 They have set up kings, but not by me. They have made princes, and I did not approve. Of their silver and their gold they have made themselves idols, that they may be cut off.
मैले नचुनेका राजाहरूलाई, तिनीहरूले स्थापित गरेका छन् । तिनीहरूले मलाई नसोधी राजकुमारहरू नियुक्‍त गरेका छन् । आफ्‍ना चाँदी र सुनले, आफ्नै निम्ति तिनीहरूले मूर्तिहरू बनाएका छन्, तर तिनीहरूको विनाश हुनलाई नै यसो भयो ।”
5 Let Samaria throw out his calf idol! My anger burns against them! How long will it be until they are capable of purity?
“ए समारिया, तेरो बाछो तिरस्‍कृत भएको छ । यी मानिसहरूका विरूद्धमा मेरो क्रोध जल्‍दैछ । किनकि कहिलेसम्म तिनीहरू दोषी रहनेछन्?
6 For this is even from Israel! The workman made it, and it is no God; indeed, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
किनकि यो मूर्ति इस्राएलबाट आएको हो । एउटा कारिगरले त्‍यो बनायो । त्यो परमेश्‍वर होइन! सामरियाको बाछोलाइ टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिनेछ ।
7 For they sow the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.
किनकि मानिसहरूले बतास छर्छन्, र आँधिको कटनी गर्छन् । खडा बालीमा बालाहरू छैनन्, र त्यसले केही फसल दिंदैन । त्यसमा फसल लाग्‍यो भने, परदेशीहरूले त्यो सखाप पार्नेछन् ।
8 Israel is swallowed up. Now they are among the nations like a worthless thing.
इस्राएल निलिएको छ । अब जातिहरूमा बिचमा ती काम नलाग्‍ने वस्तुझैं रहन्‍छन् ।
9 For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers for himself.
किनकि वन-गधा एक्लै गएझैं, तिनीहरू अश्‍शूरसम्‍म गए । एफ्राइमले आफ्नै निम्ति प्रेमीहरू नियुक्‍त गरेको छ ।
10 But although they sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them; and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones.
तिनीहरूले जातिहरूका बिचमा प्रेमीहरू नियुक्‍त गरे तापनि, अब तिनीहरूलाई म एकसाथ भेला गराउनेछु । राजकुमारहरूका राजाको दमनको कारणले, तिनीहरू दुःखी हुन लाग्‍नेछन् ।
11 Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they became for him altars for sinning.
किनकि पापबलिहरूका निम्ति एफ्राइमले वेदीहरूको सङ्ख्या बढाएका छन्, तर झन् पाप गर्ने वेदीहरू ती भएका छन् ।
12 I wrote for him the many things of my law, but they were regarded as a strange thing.
तिनीहरूका निम्ति मैले आफ्‍नो व्यवस्थालाई दस हजारपल्‍ट लेखे पनि, तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई कुनै नयाँ कुराजस्‍तो गरी हेर्छन् ।
13 As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice meat and eat it, but the LORD does not accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins. They will return to Egypt.
मेरा भेटीहरूका बलिदानको बारेमा, तिनीहरूले मासु चढाउँछन् र त्यो खान्‍छन्, तर म, परमप्रभुले त्यो ग्रहण गर्दिनँ । अब म तिनीहरूका अधर्मका बारेमा विचार गर्नेछु, र तिनीहरूका पापलाई दण्ड दिनेछु । तिनीहरू मिश्रदेशमा फर्कनेछन् ।
14 For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire on his cities, and it will devour its fortresses.”
इस्राएलले आफ्‍ना सृष्‍टिकर्ता, मलाई बिर्सेको छ, र दरबारहरू बनाएका छ । यहूदाले धेरै सहरहरूलाई किल्‍लाबन्‍दी गरेको छ, तर त्यसका सहरहरूमा म आगो पठाउनेछु, र त्यसले उसका किल्‍लाहरू भष्‍म पार्नेछ ।
