Amos 4
1 Give ear to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are in the hill of Samaria, by whom the poor are kept down, and those in need are crushed; who say to their lords, Get out the wine and give us drink.
ए बाशानका गाईहरू, यो वचन सुन, तिमीहरू जो सामरियाको पहाडमा बस्छौ, तिमीहरू जसले गरिबहरूलाई थिचोमिचो गर्छौ, तिमीहरू जसले दरिद्रहरूलाई कुल्चिन्छौ, तिमीहरू जसले आफ्ना पतिहरूलाई भन्छौ, “हामीलाई मद्य ल्याउनुहोस्” ।
2 The Lord God has taken an oath by his holy name, that the days are coming when they will take you away with hooks, and the rest of you with fish-hooks.
परमप्रभुले आफ्नो पवित्रताद्वारा प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको छ, “हेर, तिमीहरूमाथि यस्ता दिनहरू आउनेछन् जति बेला तिमीहरूलाई तिनीहरूले अंकुसेले, र तिमीहरूमध्ये अन्तिम बचेकाहरूलाई बल्छीले लैजानेछन् ।
3 And you will go out through the broken places, every one going straight before her, and you will be sent into Harmon, says the Lord.
तिमीहरू सहरका पर्खालका धाँदाहरूका बिचबाट जानेछौ, तिमीहरू हरेक व्यक्ति सिधै त्यहाँबाट जानेछौ, र तिमीहरू हर्मोनतिर फालिनेछौ —यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
4 Come to Beth-el and do evil; to Gilgal, increasing the number of your sins; come with your offerings every morning and your tenths every three days:
“बेथेलमा जाओ र पाप गर, गिलगालमा जाओ अनि धेरै पाप बढाओ, हरेक बिहान आफ्ना बलिदानहरू, हरेक तिन दिनमा आफ्ना दशांशहरू ल्याओ ।
5 Let that which is leavened be burned as a praise-offering, let the news of your free offerings be given out publicly; for this is pleasing to you, O children of Israel, says the Lord.
रोटीले धन्यवादको बलिदान अर्पण गर, स्वइच्छा भेटीको घोषणा गर । तीबारे घोषणा गर, किनकि यस कुराले तिमीहरू, इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई खुसी तुल्याउँछ, — यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो ।
6 But in all your towns I have kept food from your teeth, and in all your places there has been need of bread: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
मैले तिमीहरूका सबै सहरहरूमा तिमीहरूका भोको पेट दिएँ र तिमीहरूका सबै ठाउँहरूमा रोटीको अभाव पारें । तापनि तिमीहरू मकहाँ फर्केका छैनौ —यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
7 And I have kept back the rain from you, when it was still three months before the grain-cutting: I sent rain on one town and kept it back from another: one part was rained on, and the part where there was no rain became a waste.
फसल काट्नलाई तिन महिना बाँकी हुँदा नै मैले पनि तिमीहरूबाट वर्षालाई रोकें । एउटा सहरमा मैले पानी पर्न दिएँ र अर्को सहरमा मैले पानी पर्न दिइनँ । जमिनको एक भागमा पानी पर्यो, तर जमिनको जुन भागमा पानी परेन त्यो सुक्यो ।
8 So two or three towns went wandering to one town looking for water, and did not get enough: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
दुई वा तिनवटा सहर पानी पिउनको निम्ति अर्को सहरतर्फ धर्मराउँदै हिंडे, तर तृप्त भएनन् । तापनि तिमीहरू मतर्फ फर्केका छैनौ —यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
9 I have sent destruction on your fields by burning and disease: the increase of your gardens and your vine-gardens, your fig-trees and your olive-trees, has been food for worms: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
डढुवा र ओसले मैले तिमीहरूलाई कष्ट दिएँ । तिमीहरूका असङ्ख्य बगैँचाहरू, तिमीहरूका दाखबारीहरू, तिमीहरूका नेभाराका रूखहरू, र जैतूनका रूखहरू, सलहले ती सबैलाई सखाप पारे । तापनि तिमीहरू मतर्फ फर्केका छैनौ —यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
10 I have sent disease among you, as it was in Egypt: I have put your young men to the sword, and have taken away your horses; I have made the evil smell from your tents come up to your noses: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
मैले मिश्रमा झैं तिमीहरूका बिचमा विपत्ति पठाएँ । तिमीहरूका जवान मानिसहरूलाई मैले तरवारले मारें, तिमीहरूका घोडाहरूलाई लिएर गएँ, र तिमीहरूका छाउनीको दुर्गन्ध तिमीहरूको नाकसम्म आउने पारें । तापनि तिमीहरू मतर्फ फर्केका छैनौ —यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
11 And I have sent destruction among you, as when God sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick pulled out of the fire: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
मैले तिमीहरूका बिचमा भएका सहरहरू नाश पारें, जसरी परमेश्वरले सदोम र गमोरालाई नाश पार्नुभएको थियो । तिमीहरू आगोबाट बाहिर तानिएका अगुल्टाहरूझैं थियौ । तापनि तिमीहरू मतर्फ फर्केका छैनौ —यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
12 So this is what I will do to you, O Israel: and because I will do this to you, be ready for a meeting with your God, O Israel.
त्यसैले, ए इस्राएल, म तेरो बिचमा केही डरलाग्दो कुरा गर्नेछु । र मैले तिमीहरूका बिचमा केही डरलाग्दो गर्ने हुनाले, ए इस्राएल, आफ्नो परमेश्वरलाई भेट्न तयार हो!
13 For see, he who gave form to the mountains and made the wind, giving knowledge of his purpose to man, who makes the morning dark, and is walking on the high places of the earth: the Lord, the God of armies, is his name.
किनकि, हेर, जसले पहाडहरू बनाउनुहुन्छ, उहाँले नै बतास पनि सृष्टि गर्नुहुन्छ, आफ्ना विचारहरू मानिसजातिकहाँ प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ, बिहानको उज्यालोलाई अन्धकार बनाउनुहुन्छ, र पृथ्वीका उच्च ठाउँहरूलाई कुल्चिनुहुन्छ । परमप्रभु, सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वर, उहाँको नाउँ हो ।”
