Amos 5
1 Give ear to this word, my song of sorrow over you, O children of Israel.
ए इस्राएलको घराना, तिमीहरूका विषयमा मेरो यो विलापको वचन सुन ।
2 The virgin of Israel has been made low, never again to be lifted up: she is stretched out by herself on her land; there is no one to put her on her feet again.
कुमारी इस्राएल पतन भएकी छ, त्यो फेरि उठ्नेछैन, त्यो आफ्नै भूमिमा त्यागिएकी छ, त्यसलाई उठाउने त्यहाँ कोही छैन ।
3 For these are the words of the Lord God: The town which was able to send out a thousand, will have only a hundred; and that which sent out a hundred, will have only ten, in Israel.
किनभने परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यस्तो भन्नुहुन्छः “इस्राएलको घरानामा भएकाका, एक हजार जना लिएर निस्केको सहरमा सय जना बाँकी हुनेछन्, र सय जना लिएर निस्केको सहरमा दस जना बाँकी हुनेछन् ।”
4 For these are the words of the Lord to the children of Israel: Let your hearts be turned to me, so that you may have life:
किनभने इस्राएलको घरानालाई परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्नुहुन्छः “मेरो खोजी गर र जीवित रहो!
5 Do not be looking for help to Beth-el, and do not go to Gilgal, or make your way to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal will certainly be taken prisoner, and Beth-el will come to nothing.
बेथेलको खोजी नगर, न त गिलगालमा प्रवेश गर, बेर्शेबातर्फ यात्रा नगर । किनभने गिलगाल निश्चय नै कैदमा जानेछ, र बेथेल शून्य हुनेछ ।
6 Go to the Lord for help so that you may have life; for fear that he may come like fire bursting out in the family of Joseph, causing destruction, and there will be no one to put it out in Beth-el.
परमप्रभुको खोजी गर र जीवित रहो, नत्रता उहाँ योसेफको घरानामा आगोझैं दन्कनुहुनेछ । त्यसले भस्म पार्नेछ र बेथेलमा त्यसलाई निभाउने कुनै व्यक्ति हुनेछैन ।
7 You who make the work of judging a bitter thing, crushing down righteousness to the earth;
ती मानिसहरूले इन्साफलाई एउटा तितो कुरामा परिणत गर्छन् र धार्मिकतालाई भुइँमा फालिदिन्छन्!”
8 Go for help to him who makes Orion and the Pleiades, by whom the deep dark is turned into morning, who makes the day black with night; whose voice goes out to the waters of the sea, sending them out over the face of the earth: the Lord is his name;
परमेश्वरले किरकिटी र मृगशिरालाई बनाउनुभयो । उहाँले अन्धकारलाई बिहानमा परिणत गर्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले दिनलाई रातको अन्धकार बनाउनुहुन्छ र समुद्रको पानीलाई बोलाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले त्यसलाई पृथ्वीको सतहमा खन्याउनुहुन्छ । उहाँको नाउँ परमप्रभु हो ।
9 Who sends sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the walled town.
उहाँले बलियामाथि एक्कासि विनाश ल्यानुहुन्छ, जसले गर्दा किल्लाहरूमा विनाश आउँछन् ।
10 They have hate for him who makes protest against evil in the public place, and he whose words are upright is disgusting to them.
सहरको मूलद्वारमा तिनीहरूलाई ठिक कुरा सिकाउनेलाई तिनीहरू घृणा गर्छन्, र सत्य बोल्नेलाई कुनै पनि व्यक्तिलाई तिनीहरू उपहास गर्छन् ।
11 So because the poor man is crushed under your feet, and you take taxes from him of grain: you have made for yourselves houses of cut stone, but you will not take your rest in them; the fair vine-gardens planted by your hands will not give you wine.
किनभने तिमीहरूले गरिबहरूलाई कुल्चिन्छौ र ऊबाट गहुँको भाग लिन्छौ— तिमीहरूले कँदेका ढुङ्गाले घरहरू बनाएको भए तापनि, तिमीहरू त्यसमा बस्नेछैनौ । तिमीहरूसँग लहलहाउँदा दाखबारीहरू छन्, तर तिमीहरूले त्यसको दाखमद्य पाउनेछैनौ ।
12 For I have seen how your evil-doing is increased and how strong are your sins, you troublers of the upright, who take rewards and do wrong to the cause of the poor in the public place.
किनकि तिमीहरूका अपराधहरू कति छन् अनि तिमीहरूका पाप कति ठुला छन् भनी म जान्दछु— तिमीहरू जसले धर्मीलाई कष्ट दिन्छौ, घूस लिन्छौ, र सहरको मूलद्वारका दरिद्रहरूको न्यायहरण गर्छौ
13 So the wise will say nothing in that time; for it is an evil time.
यसकारण यस्तो समयमा विवेकी मानिस पनि चूपै लाग्छ, किनभने यो खराब समय हो ।
14 Go after good and not evil, so that life may be yours: and so the Lord, the God of armies, will be with you, as you say.
असल कुराको खोजी गर, खराबको होइन, जसले गर्दा तिमीहरू बाँच्नेछौ । यसरी तिमीहरूले भनेझैं, परमप्रभु, सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वर, साँच्चै नै तिमीहरूसँग हुनुहुनेछ ।
15 Be haters of evil and lovers of good, and let right be done in the public place: it may be that the Lord, the God of armies, will have mercy on the rest of Joseph.
दुष्टतालाई घृणा गर, असल कुरालाई प्रेम गर, सहरको मूलद्वारमा न्याय कायम गर । सायद परमप्रभु, सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वर योसेफका बाँकी रहेकाहरूसँग अनुग्रही हुनुहुनेछ ।
16 So these are the words of the Lord, the God of armies, the Lord: There will be weeping in all the open spaces; and in all the streets they will say, Sorrow! sorrow! and they will get in the farmer to the weeping, and the makers of sad songs to give cries of grief.
यसकारण, परमप्रभु, सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वर यस्तो भन्नुहुन्छ, “सबै चोकहरूमा रुवाबासी हुनेछ, र तिनीहरूले सबै सडकहरूमा यस्तो भन्नेछन्, ‘धिक्कार! धिक्कार!’ तिनीहरूले किसानहरूलाई विलाप गर्न र मलामीहरूलाई शोक गर्न बोलाउनेछन् ।
17 In all the vine-gardens there will be cries of grief: for I will go through among you, says the Lord.
सबै दाखबारीहरूमा रुवाबासी हुनेछ, किनकि म तिमीहरूका बिचबाट भएर जानेछु,” परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ ।
18 Sorrow to you who are looking for the day of the Lord! what is the day of the Lord to you? it is dark and not light.
परमप्रभुको दिन चाहना गर्नेहरूलाई धिक्कार! तिमीहरू किन परमप्रभुको दिनको चाहना गर्दछौ? त्यो उज्यालो होइन तर अन्धकार हुनेछ,
19 As if a man, running away from a lion, came face to face with a bear; or went into the house and put his hand on the wall and got a bite from a snake.
जसरी कोही मानिस एउटा सिंहबाट भाग्छ र एउटा भालुले उसलाई भेटाउँछ, अर्थात् ऊ कुनै घरभित्र जान्छ र आफ्नो हात भित्तामा राख्छ अनि एउटा सर्पले उसलाई डस्छ ।
20 Will not the day of the Lord be dark and not light? even very dark, with no light shining in it?
के परमप्रभुको दिन उज्यालो नभई अन्धकार हुनेछैन र? अन्धकार र कुनै उज्यालो नभएको?
21 Your feasts are disgusting to me, I will have nothing to do with them; I will take no delight in your holy meetings.
“म तिमीहरूका चाडहरूलाई घृणा गर्दछु, म तिरस्कार गर्दछु, तिमीहरूका धार्मिक सभाहरूमा म खुसी हुन्नँ ।
22 Even if you give me your burned offerings and your meal offerings, I will not take pleasure in them: I will have nothing to do with the peace-offerings of your fat beasts.
तिमीहरूले मलाई होमबलि र अन्नबलि चढाए तापनि, म ती ग्रहण गर्नेछैनँ, न त तिमीहरूका मोटा पशुहरूको मेलबलि नै म हेर्नेछु ।
23 Take away from me the noise of your songs; my ears are shut to the melody of your instruments.
तिमीहरूका गीतहरूको हल्ला मबाट हटाओ । तिमीहरूका वीणाहरूका धुन म सुन्नेछैनँ ।
24 But let the right go rolling on like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
बरु, इन्साफ पानीझैं बगोस्, र धार्मिकताचाहिं निरन्तर बगिरहने खोलाझैं होस् ।
25 Did you come to me with offerings of beasts and meal offerings in the waste land for forty years, O Israel?
ए इस्राएलको घराना, चालिस वर्ष मरुभूमिमा हुँदा, के तिमीहरूले मेरो निम्ति बलिदानहरू र भेटीहरू ल्यायौ र?
26 Truly, you will take up Saccuth your king and Kaiwan your images, the star of your god, which you made for yourselves.
तिमीहरूले आफ्ना राजा सिक्कुथ, र आफ्ना तारा-देवता काइवानको मूर्ति खडा गरेका छौ, जसलाई तिमीहरूले आफ्ना निम्ति बनायौ ।
27 And I will send you away as prisoners farther than Damascus, says the Lord, whose name is the God of armies.
यसकारण म तिमीहरूलाई दमस्मसभन्दा पर निर्वासनमा पठाउनेछु,” परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, जसको नाउँ सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वर हो ।
