Ezekiel 20
1 Now it came about in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, that certain of the responsible men of Israel came to get directions from the Lord and were seated before me.
सातौं वर्षको पाँचौं महिनाको दशौं दिनमा इस्राएलका धर्म-गुरुहरू परमप्रभुसित सोधपूछ गर्न आए र मेरो सामु बसे ।
2 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
तब परमप्रभुको वचन यस भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
3 Son of man, say to the responsible men of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: Have you come to get directions from me? By my life, says the Lord, you will get no directions from me.
“ए मानिसको छोरो, इस्राएलका धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई घोषणा गर् र तिनीहरूलाई यसो भन्, ‘परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः के तिमीहरू मसित सोधपूछ गर्न आएका छौ? जस्तो म जीवित छु, तिमीहरूले मलाई सोधपूछ गर्नेछैनौ— यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो ।'
4 Will you be their judge, O son of man, will you be their judge? make clear to them the disgusting ways of their fathers,
के तँ तिनीहरूको न्याय गर्नेछस्? ए मानिसको छोरो, के तँ तिनीहरूको न्याय गर्नेछस्? तिनीहरूका आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका घिनलाग्दा कामको बारेमा तिनीहरूलाई जानकारी दे ।
5 And say to them, This is what the Lord has said: In the day when I took Israel for myself, when I made an oath to the seed of the family of Jacob, and I gave them knowledge of myself in the land of Egypt, saying to them with an oath, I am the Lord your God;
तिनीहरूलाई भन्, 'परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः जुन दिन मैले इस्राएललाई छानें, र याकूबको घरानासित शपथ खानलाई मैले हात उचाले र मैले आफूलाई मिश्रदेशमा तिनीहरूका बिचमा प्रकट गरें । जति बेला तिनीहरूसित शपथ खान मैले आफ्नो हात उचालें । मैले भनें, “म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर हुँ”—
6 In that day I gave my oath to take them out of the land of Egypt into a land which I had been searching out for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands:
त्यस दिन मैले तिनीहरूसित यो शपथ खाएँ, कि म तिनीहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट बाहिर निकालेर मैले तिनीहरूका निम्ति मैले होसियारीसाथ छानेको देशमा ल्याउनेछु । त्यहाँ दूध र मह बग्दैथियो । यो सबै देशहरूभन्दा बढी सुन्दर गहना थियो ।
7 And I said to them, Let every man among you put away the disgusting things to which his eyes are turned, and do not make yourselves unclean with the images of Egypt; I am the Lord your God.
मैले तिनीहरूलाई भनें, “हरेक मानिसले आफ्ना दृष्टिबाट घिनलाग्दा कुराहरू र मिश्रदेशका मूर्तिहरू हटाओस् । आफूलाई अशुद्ध नपार । म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर हुँ ।”
8 But they would not be controlled by me, and did not give ear to me; they did not put away the disgusting things to which their eyes were turned, or give up the images of Egypt: then I said I would let loose my passion on them to give full effect to my wrath against them in the land of Egypt.
तर तिनीहरूले मेरो विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गरे र मेरो कुरा सुन्न इच्छुक भएनन् । हरेक मानिसले आफ्ना दृष्टिबाट ती घिनलाग्दा कुराहरूलाई फालेनन् न त तिनीहरूले मिश्रदेशका मूर्तिहरूलाई नै त्यागे । यसैले मिश्रदेशको बिचमा तिनीहरूका माझमा मेरो क्रोध शान्त पार्नको निम्ति तिनीहरूमाथि मेरो रिस पोख्ने निश्चय मैले गरें ।
9 And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean before the eyes of the nations among whom they were, and before whose eyes I gave them knowledge of myself, by taking them out of the land of Egypt.
आफ्नो नाउँको खातिर मैले यो काम गरें, यसरी तिनीहरू बसोबास गरेका जातिहरूका दृष्टिमा मेरो नाउँ अपवित्र नहोस् । तिनीहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट बाहिर निकालेर ल्याएर मैले आफूलाई तिनीहरूका अघि प्रकट गरें ।
10 So I made them go out of the land of Egypt and took them into the waste land.
यसैले मैले तिनीहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट बाहिर निकालें र तिनीहरूलाई उजाड-स्थान ल्याएँ ।
11 And I gave them my rules and made clear to them my orders, which, if a man keeps them, will be life to him.
तब मैले तिनीहरूलाई मेरा विधिहरू दिएँ र मेरा नियमहरू तिनीहरूलाई प्रकट गरें । मानिसले ती पालन गर्यो भने त्यसद्वारा ऊ बाँच्नेछ ।
12 And further, I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, so that it might be clear that I, who make them holy, am the Lord.
म परमप्रभु नै हुँ जसले तिनीहरूलाई पवित्र पार्छु भनी तिनीहरूले जानून् भनेर तिनीहरू र मेरो बिचमा चिन्हको रूपमा मैले तिनीहरूलाई शबाथदिनहरू पनि दिएँ ।
13 But the children of Israel would not be controlled by me in the waste land: they were not guided by my rules, and they were turned away from my orders, which, if a man does them, will be life to him; and they had no respect for my Sabbaths: then I said that I would let loose my passion on them in the waste land, and put an end to them.
तर इस्राएल घरानाले उजाड-स्थान मेरो विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गरे । तिनीहरू मेरो विधिहरूमा चलेनन् । बरु, तिनीहरूले मेरा नियमहरूलाई इन्कार गरे । मानिसले ती पालन गर्यो भने त्यसद्वारा ऊ बाँच्नेछ । तिनीहरूले मेरा शबाथहरूलाई एकदमै बिटुलो पारे । यसैले मैले भनें, म तिनीहरूको नाश गर्नलाई यही उजाड-स्थान तिनीहरूमाथि आफ्नो क्रोध पोखाउनेछु ।
14 And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean in the eyes of the nations, before whose eyes I had taken them out.
तर जुन जातिहरूका दृष्टिमा मैले तिनीहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट बाहिर निकालेर ल्याएँ, तिनीहरूका दृष्टिमा मेरो नाउँ अपवित्र नहोस् भनेर मेरो नाउँको खातिर मैले काम गरें ।
15 And further, I gave my oath to them in the waste land, that I would not take them into the land which I had given them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands;
यसैले मैले तिनीहरूलाई दिन लागेको देशमा म तिनीहरूलाई लानेछैनँ भनेर तिनीहरूसित उजाड-स्थान एउटा शपथ खानलाई म आफैले पनि आफ्नो हात उठाएँ । त्यो देश सबै देशहरूभन्दा सुन्दर गहनाको दूध र मह बग्ने देश हो ।
16 Because they were turned away from my orders, and were not guided by my rules, and had no respect for my Sabbaths: for their hearts went after their images.
मैले यो शपथ खाएँ किनभने तिनीहरूले मेरा नियमहरूलाई इन्कार गरे र मेरा विधिहरूमा हिंडेनन्, र तिनीहरूले मेरा शबाथहरूलाई बिटुलो पारे, किनकि तिनीहरूका हृदय तिनीहरूका मूर्तिहरूका पछि लागेका थिए ।
17 But still my eye had pity on them and I kept them from destruction and did not put an end to them completely in the waste land.
तर तिनीहरूको सर्वनाश हुनबाट मैले तिनीहरूमा दया गरें, र मैले उजाड-स्थान तिनीहरूको अस्तित्व मेटाइन ।
18 And I said to their children in the waste land, Do not be guided by the rules of your fathers or keep their orders or make yourselves unclean with their images:
उजाड-स्थान मैले तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीलाई भनें, “तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूका विधिहरूमा नहिंड न त तिनीहरूका नियमहरू पालन गर, न त तिनीहरूका मूर्तिहरूले आफूलाई बिटुलो पार्ने काम गर ।
19 I am the Lord your God; be guided by my rules and keep my orders and do them:
म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर हुँ, मेरा विधिहरूमा हिंड, र मेरा नियमहरू मान र पालन गर ।
20 And keep my Sabbaths holy; and they will be a sign between me and you so that it may be clear to you that I am the Lord your God.
मेरा शबाथहरूलाई पवित्र राख, ताकि मेरो र तिमीहरूका बिचमा ती एउटा चिन्ह हुनेछन्, ताकि म नै परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर हुँ भनी तिमीहरूले जान्नेछौ ।”
21 But the children would not be controlled by me; they were not guided by my rules, and they did not keep and do my orders, which, if a man does them, will be life to him; and they had no respect for my Sabbaths: then I said I would let loose my passion on them to give full effect to my wrath against them in the waste land.
तर तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीले मेरो विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गरे । तिनीहरू मेरा उर्दीहरूमा हिंडेनन्, न त मेरा व्यवस्थाहरू पालन गरे । मानिसले ती पालन गर्यो भने त्यसद्वारा ऊ बाँच्नेछ । तिनीहरूले मेरा शबाथहरूलाई बिटुलो पारे, यसैले मेरो क्रोध शान्त पार्न मैले उजाड-स्थान आफ्नो रिस तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा खन्याउने निश्चय गरें ।
22 And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean in the eyes of the nations, before whose eyes I had taken them out.
तर मैले आफ्नो हात फर्काएँ, र मेरो नाउँको खातिर काम गरें यसरी मैले इस्राएलीहरूलाई निकालेर ल्याएको देखेका जातिहरूका दृष्टिमा त्यो अपवित्र नहोस् ।
23 Further, I gave my oath to them in the waste land that I would send them wandering among the nations, driving them out among the countries;
तिनीहरूलाई म जातिहरूका बिचमा छरपष्ट पार्नेछु, र तिनीहरूलाई देशहरूमा तितरबितर पार्नेछु भनेर तिनीहरूसित उजाड-स्थान एउटा शपथ खानलाई म आफैले पनि आफ्नो हात उठाएँ ।
24 Because they had not done my orders, but had been turned away from my rules, and had not given respect to my Sabbaths, and their eyes were turned to the images of their fathers.
तिनीहरूले मेरा नियमहरू नमानेका हुनाले र तिनीहरूले मेरा विधिहरूलाई इन्कार गरेका र मेरा शबाथहरूलाई बिटुलो पारेका हुनाले मैले यसो गर्ने निर्णय गरें । तिनीहरूका आँखाहरूले आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका मूर्तिहरूको लालसा गरे ।
25 And further, I gave them rules which were not good and orders in which there was no life for them;
तब मैले तिनीहरूलाई यस्ता विधानहरू पनि दिएँ जो असल थिएनन्, र यस्ता नियमहरू दिएँ जसद्वारा तिनीहरू बाँच्न सकेनन् ।
26 I made them unclean in the offerings they gave, causing them to make every first child go through the fire, so that I might put an end to them.
तिनीहरूका उपहारहरूद्वारा मैले तिनीहरूलाई अशुद्ध घोषणा गरें— तिनीहरूले गर्भका हरेक जेठोको बलिदान चढाए र तिनीहरूलाई आगोमा हिंड्न लगाए—कि मैले तिनीहरूलाई त्रसित बनाउन सकूँ यसरी म परमप्रभु हुँ भनी तिनीहरूले जान्नेछन् ।’
27 For this cause, son of man, say to the children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: In this your fathers have further put shame on my name by doing wrong against me.
यसकारण, ए मानिसको छोरो, इस्राएलका घरानासँग बोल् र तिनीहरूलाई भन्, 'परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः यसमा पनि तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरू मप्रति विश्वासघाती बनेर मेरो निन्दा गरे ।
28 For when I had taken them into the land which I made an oath to give to them, then they saw every high hill and every branching tree and made their offerings there, moving me to wrath by their offerings; and there the sweet smell of their offerings went up and their drink offerings were drained out.
जब मैले शपथ खाएर तिनीहरूलाई दिन्छु भनेको देशमा मैले तिनीहरूलाई ल्याएँ, तब जहाँ तिनीहरूले कुनै अग्लो डाँडा वा कुनै झ्याम्म पातहरू भएको रूख देखे, त्यहाँ तिनीहरूले आफ्ना बलिदानहरू चढाए । अनि आफ्ना भेटीहरूद्वारा तिनीहरूले मलाई रिस उठाए, र त्यहाँ तिनीहरूले आफ्ना सुगन्धित धूप पनि बाले र आफ्ना अर्घ-बलि चढाए ।
29 Then I said to them, What is this high place where you go to no purpose? And it is named Bamah to this day.
तब मैले तिनीहरूलाई सोधें, “तिमीहरूले भेटी चढाउने गरेको अग्लो ठाउँ के हो?” आजको दिनसम्म त्यो ठाउँलाई बामा भनिन्छ ।
30 For this cause say to the children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: Are you making yourselves unclean as your fathers did? are you being untrue to me by going after their disgusting works?
यसकारण इस्राएलको घरानालाई यसो भन्: 'परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः तिमीहरू आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका चालमा हिंडेर तिमीहरू आफूलाई पनि किन बिटुलो पार्छौ? घिनलाग्दा कुराहरूको खोजी गरेर किन तिमीहरू वेश्याहरूझैं काम गर्छौ?
31 And when you give your offerings, causing your sons to go through the fire, you make yourselves unclean with all your images to this day; and will you come to me for directions, O children of Israel? By my life, says the Lord, you will get no direction from me.
जब तिमीहरू आफ्ना उपहारहरू चढाउँछौ— जब तिमीहरू आफ्ना छोराहरूलाई आगोमा हिंड्न लगाउँछौ— तब आजको दिनसम्म पनि तिमीहरूले आफ्ना मूर्तिहरूको कारणले आफैलाई बिटुलो पार्छौ । यसैले ए इस्राएलको घराना, मसँग सोधपूछ गर्न मैले तिमीहरूलाई किन दिनु? जस्तो म जीवित छु— यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो— तिमीहरूले मलाई सोधपूछ गर्न म दिनेछैनँ ।
32 And that which comes into your minds will never take place; when you say, We will be like the nations, like the families of the countries, servants of wood and stone;
तिमीहरूको मनमा उठेको विचार कहिले पुरा हुँनेछैन । तिमीहरू भन्छौ, “हामीहरू अरू जातिहरूजस्तै, काठ र ढुङ्गालाई पुज्ने अरू देशका जातिहरूजस्तै बनौं ।”
33 By my life, says the Lord, truly, with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with burning wrath let loose, I will be King over you:
जस्तो म जीवित छु— यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो— शक्तिशाली हात र पसारेको पाखुराद्वारा म तिमीहरूमाथि राज्य गर्नेछु र तिमीहरूमाथि क्रोध खन्याउनेछु ।
34 And I will take you out from the peoples and get you together out of the countries where you are wandering, with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with burning wrath let loose:
तिमीहरूलाई म अरू जातिहरूका बिचबाट निकालेर ल्याउनेछु, र तिमीहरू छरपष्ट भएका देशहरूबाट म तिमीहरूलाई भेला गर्नेछु । मेरो शक्तिशाली हातले म यसो गर्नेछु र क्रोध खन्याउनेछु ।
35 And I will take you into the waste land of the peoples, and there I will take up the cause with you face to face.
तब म तिमीहरूलाई जातिहरूको उजाड-स्थान ल्याउनेछु, र त्यहाँ म तिमीहरूको न्याय आमने-सामनेमा गर्नेछु ।
36 As I took up the cause with your fathers in the waste land of the land of Egypt, so will I take up the cause with you says the Lord.
जसरी मिश्रदेशको उजाड-स्थान मैले तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूको न्याय गरें, त्यसरी नै म तिमीहरूको न्याय म गर्नेछु— यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो ।
37 And I will make you go under the rod and will make you small in number:
म तिमीहरूलाई मेरो लौरो मुनि छिर्न लाउनेछु, र तिमीहरूलाई करारमा भएका कुराहरू मान्न लगाउनेछु ।
38 Clearing out from among you all those who are uncontrolled and who are sinning against me; I will take them out of the land where they are living, but they will not come into the land of Israel: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
तिमीहरूका माझबाट विद्रोह गर्नेहरू र मेरो विरुद्धमा अपराध गर्नेहरूलाई म हटाउनेछु । तिनीहरू प्रवासी भएर बसेको देशबाट म तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर पठाउनेछु, तर तिनीहरू इस्राएल देशमा पस्नेछैनन् । तब म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी तिमीहरूले जान्नेछौ ।
39 As for you, O children of Israel, the Lord has said: Let every man completely put away his images and give ear to me: and let my holy name no longer be shamed by your offerings and your images.
यसैले ए इस्राएलका घराना, परमप्रभु परमेश्वर तिमीहरूलाई यसो भन्नुहुन्छः तिमीहरू हरेक आ-आफ्नो मूर्तिहरूतिर जानुपर्छ । तिमीहरू मेरो कुरा सुन्न इन्कार गर्छौ भने तिनीहरूकै पुजा गर, तर आफ्ना उपहारहरू र मूर्तिहरूले मेरो पवित्र नाउँलाई तिमीहरूले अपवित्र पार्नुहुँदैन ।
40 For in my holy mountain, in the high mountain of Israel, says the Lord, there all the children of Israel, all of them, will be my servants in the land; there I will take pleasure in them, and there I will be worshipped with your offerings and the first-fruits of the things you give, and with all your holy things.
किनकि मेरो पवित्र पर्वतमा, इस्राएलको पहाडको टाकुरामा— यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो— इस्राएलका जम्मै घरानाले त्यहाँ मेरो आराधना गर्नेछन् । त्यहीं नै म तिमीहरूका भेटीहरू, तिमीहरूका सबैभन्दा उत्तम उपहारहरू, तिमीहरूका सबै पवित्र थोकहरूको बलिदानहरू ग्रहण गर्नेछु ।
41 I will take pleasure in you as in a sweet smell, when I take you out from the peoples and get you together from the countries where you have been sent in flight; and I will make myself holy in you before the eyes of the nations.
जब म तिमीहरूलाई मानिसहरूबाट निकालेर ल्याउँछ र तिमीहरू छरपष्ट भएका देशहरूबाट तिमीहरूलाई भेला गराउनेछु, तब म तिमीहरूलाई बास्ना आउने धूपझैं ग्रहण गर्नेछु । जातिहरूका दृष्टिमा म तिमीहरूका बिचमा आफैलाई पवित्र प्रकट गर्नेछु ।
42 And you will be certain that I am the Lord, when I take you into the land of Israel, into the country which I made an oath to give to your fathers.
जब म तिमीहरूलाई इस्राएल देशमा ल्याउनेछु, जुन देश तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई दिन्छु भनी मैले आफ्ना हात उचालेर शपथ खाएको थिएँ, तब तिमीहरूले म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी जान्नेछौ ।
43 And there, at the memory of your ways and of all the things you did to make yourselves unclean, you will have bitter hate for yourselves because of all the evil things you have done.
आफ्ना जुन व्यवहार र कामहरूले तिमीहरूले आफूलाई अशुद्ध पार्यौ, ती त्यहाँ तिमीहरूले सम्झनेछौ, र तिमीहरूले गरेका सबै दुष्ट कामहरूका निम्ति आफ्नै दृष्टिमा तिमीहरूले आफूलाई तुच्छ ठान्नेछौ ।
44 And you will be certain that I am the Lord, when I take you in hand for the honour of my name, and not for your evil ways or your unclean doings, O children of Israel, says the Lord.
यसरी, ए इस्राएलका घराना, तिमीहरूका दुष्ट कामहरू र तिमीहरूका भ्रष्टा कामहरूका कारणले होइन, तर मेरो नाउँको खातिर मैले तिमीहरूसित व्यवहार गर्दा, तिमीहरूले म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी जान्नेछौ— यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो'।”
45 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
तब परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
46 Son of man, let your face be turned to the south, let your words be dropped to the south, and be a prophet against the woodland of the South;
ए मानिसको छोरो, आफ्नो अनुहार दक्षिण देशतिर फर्का र दक्षिणको विरुद्धमा बपल् । नेगेभको वनको विरुद्धमा अगमवाणी भन् ।
47 And say to the woodland of the South, Give ear to the words of the Lord: this is what the Lord has said: See, I will have a fire lighted in you, for the destruction of every green tree in you and every dry tree: the flaming flame will not be put out, and all faces from the south to the north will be burned by it.
नेगेभको वनलाई भन्, 'यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो— परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः हेर्, म तेरो माझमा आगो सल्काउनेछु । त्यसले तेरा माझमा भएका हरेक हरिया रूख र हरेक सुकेका रूखलाई भष्म गर्नेछ । त्यो दन्केको ज्वाला निभाइनेछैन । दक्षिणदेखि उत्तरसम्मका हरेक अनुहार जल्नेछन् ।
48 And all flesh will see that I the Lord have had it lighted: it will not be put out.
जब म आगो सल्काउँछु र त्यसलाई निभइनेछैन, तब हरेक प्रणीले म परमप्रभुले हुँ भनी देख्नेछ ।’”
49 Then I said, Ah, Lord! they say of me, Is he not a maker of stories?
तब मैले भने, “धिक्कार! हे परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, तिनीहरूले मलाई यसो भन्दैछन्, ‘के उसले उखानहरू मात्र भनेको होइन र'?”
