< Amos 8 >

1 This is what the Lord God let me see: and I saw a basket of summer fruit.
परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले मलाई यो कुरा देखाउनुभयो। ग्रीष्‍म ऋतुको फलको एउटा डालो हेर ।
2 And he said, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then the Lord said to me, The end has come to my people Israel; never again will my eyes be shut to their sin.
उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “आमोस, तँ के देख्‍छस्?” मैले भनें, “ग्रीष्‍म ऋतुको फलको एउटा डालो ।” तब परमप्रभुले मलाई यसो भन्‍नुभयो, “मेरा मानिस, इस्राएलको निम्ति अन्‍त्‍य आएको छ । म तिनीहरूलाई अब बाँकी छोड्नेछैनँ ।
3 And the songs of the king's house will be cries of pain in that day, says the Lord God: great will be the number of the dead bodies, and everywhere they will put them out without a word.
यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो, त्यो दिनमा मन्दिरका गीतहरू रुवाबासीमा बद्लिनेछन्, धेरै लासहरू जता-ततै फलिनेछन्! शान्‍त हो!”
4 Give ear to this, you who are crushing the poor, and whose purpose is to put an end to those who are in need in the land,
खाँचोमा परेकाहरूलाई थिचोमिचो गर्नेहरू, र गरीबहरूलाई देशबाट हटाउनेहरू, यो सुन ।
5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, so that we may do trade in grain? and the Sabbath, so that we may put out in the market the produce of our fields? making the measure small and the price great, and trading falsely with scales of deceit;
तिनीहरू भन्छन्, “औंसी कहिले समाप्‍त हुन्छ, ताकि हामीहरूले फेरि अन्‍न बेच्‍न सकौं? शबाथ दिन कहिले समाप्‍त हुन्छ, ताकि हामीले गहुँ बेच्‍न सकौं? हामीले झुटो नापले ठगी गर्दा, हामी मानालाई सानो बनाउनेछौं र मुल्यलाई बढाउनेछौं ।
6 Getting the poor for silver, and him who is in need for the price of two shoes, and taking a price for the waste parts of the grain.
यसरी नै हामीले खराब गहुँ बेच्‍न सक्‍छौं, गरीबलाई चाँदीले, र खाँचोमा परेकाहरूलाई एक जोर जुत्ताले किन्‍न सक्‍छौं ।”
7 The Lord has taken an oath by the pride of Jacob, Truly I will ever keep in mind all their works.
परमप्रभुले याकूबको घमण्डमा यसरी शपथ खानुभएको छ, “निश्‍चय नै तिनीहरूका कुनै पनि कामहरू म कदापि बिर्सनेछैनँ ।”
8 Will not the land be shaking with fear because of this, and everyone in it have sorrow? and all of it will be overflowing like the River; and it will be troubled and go down again like the River of Egypt.
यसको निम्‍ति जमिन काम्‍नेछैन, अनि त्यसमा बसोबास गर्ने हरेकले विलाप गर्नेछैनन् र? त्यसको सबै थोक नील नदीझैं माथि उठ्नेछ, र मिश्रको नदीझैं त्यो छचल्‍किनेछ र डुब्‍नेछ ।
9 And it will come about in that day, says the Lord God, that I will make the sun go down in the middle of the day, and I will make the earth dark in daylight:
“यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो— त्यो दिन यस्‍तो हुनेछ, सुर्यलाई दिउँसै अस्ताउनेछु म बनाउनेछु, र पृथ्वीलाई मध्यदिनमा नै अँध्यारो म बनाउनेछु ।
10 Your feasts will be turned into sorrow and all your melody into songs of grief; everyone will be clothed with haircloth, and the hair of every head will be cut; I will make the weeping like that for an only son, and the end of it like a bitter day.
तिमीहरूका चाडहरूलाई विलापमा, अनि तिमीहरूका सबै गीतलाई रुवाईमा म बद्लिनेछु । तिमीहरू सबैलाई भाङ्‍ग्रा लाउने, र हरेकले कपाल खौरन म बनाउनेछु । एक मात्र छोराको निम्ति विलाप गरेझैं, र त्यसको अन्‍त्‍यमा तीतो म बनाउनेछु ।
11 See, the days are coming, says the Lord God, when I will send times of great need on the land, not need of food or desire for water, but for hearing the words of the Lord.
हेर्, यस्‍ता दिनहरू आउँदैछन्, यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो, जति बेला देशमा म अनिकाल पठाउनेछु, त्‍यो रोटीको अनिकाल होइन, न त पानीको तिर्खाको हो, तर त्‍यो परमप्रभुको वचन सुन्‍ने कुराको हो।
12 And they will go wandering from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, running here and there in search of the word of the Lord, and they will not get it.
परमप्रभुको वचनको खोज्‍नलाई तिनीहरू एक समुद्रदेखि अर्को समुद्रसम्‍म धर्मराउनेछन्, र उत्तरदेखि पूर्वसम्म दौडनेछन्, तर तिनीहरूले त्यो भेट्टाउनेछैनन् ।
13 In that day the fair virgins and the young men will be feeble from need of water.
त्यो दिनमा सुन्दरी कुमारीहरू र जवान मानिसहरू तिर्खाले मूर्छा हुनेछन् ।
14 Those who make their oaths by the sin of Samaria and say, By the life of your God, O Dan; and, By the living way of Beer-sheba; even they will go down, never again to be lifted up.
सामरियाको पापमा शपथ खानेहरू र ‘ए दान, तेरो देवता जीवित भएझैं,’ र ‘बेर्शेबाको देवता जीवित भएझैं,’ भनेर भन्‍नेहरू, तिनीहरू पतन हुनेछन् र फेरि कहिल्यै उठ्नेछैनन् ।”
