< Micah 1 >

1 The word of the Lord which came to Micah the Morashtite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah: his vision about Samaria and Jerusalem.
यरूशलेमका राजाहरू योताम, आहाज, र हिजकियाको समयमा मोरेशेतका निवासी मीकाकहाँ परमप्रभुको यस्तो वचन आयो, जुन उनले सामरिया र यरूशलेमको विषयमा देखेका थिए ।
2 Give ear, you peoples, all of you; give attention, O earth and everything in it: let the Lord God be witness against you, the Lord from his holy Temple.
सारा जातिका मानिस, यो सुन । पृथ्वी र त्यसमा भएका सबैले यो सुन । परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर उहाँको पवित्र मन्दिरबाट तिमीहरूका विरुद्ध गवाही बनून् ।
3 For see, the Lord is coming out from his place, and will come down, stepping on the high places of the earth.
हेर, परमप्रभु आफ्नो वासस्थानबाट बाहिर आउनुहुन्छ; उहाँ तल आउनुहुनेछ र पृथ्वीका उच्‍च स्थानहरूमा आफ्नो पाउ राख्‍नुहुनेछ ।
4 And the mountains will be turned to water under him, and the deep valleys will be broken open, like wax before the fire, like waters flowing down a slope.
मैन आगोको सामु पग्‍लिएझैँ, र भिरालो ठाउँबाट पानी बगेझैँ उहाँको चरणमुनि हिमालहरू पग्‍लन्‍छन्, र उपत्यकाहरू टुक्रिन्‍छन् ।
5 All this is because of the wrongdoing of Jacob and the sins of the children of Israel. What is the wrongdoing of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?
यो सबै याकूबको अपराध र इस्राएलको घरनाका पापको कारणले भएको हो । याकूबको अपराध के हो? के त्यो सामरिया होइन? यहूदाको उच्‍च स्थान के हो? के त्यो यरूशलेम होइन?
6 So I will make Samaria into a field and the plantings of a vine-garden: I will send its stones falling down into the valley, uncovering its bases.
“म सामरियालाई भग्‍नावशेषको थुप्रो, र दाखबारी लगाउने स्थान बनाइदिनेछु, र म त्यसका ढुङ्गाहरूलाई तल उपत्यकामा फ्याँकिदिनेछु र म त्यसका जगहरूलाई नाङ्गा बनाइदिनेछु ।
7 And all her pictured images will be hammered into bits, and all the payments for her loose ways will be burned with fire, and all the images of her gods I will make waste: for with the price of a loose woman she got them together, and as the price of a loose woman will they be given back.
त्यसका सबै हातले बनाइएका चिजहरू टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिनेछन्, र त्यसले पाएका सबै उपहारहरूलाई आगोद्धारा जलाइनेछ, र त्यसका सबै मुर्तिहरूलाई म नष्‍ट गर्नेछु । त्यसले आफ्ना उपहारहरू वेश्याको ज्यालाबाट संचय गरेको हुनाले, ती फेरि वेश्याकै ज्याला बन्‍नेछन् ।”
8 For this I will be full of sorrow and give cries of grief; I will go uncovered and unclothed: I will give cries of grief like the jackals and will be in sorrow like the ostriches.
यसैकारण म विलाप गर्नेछु र रुनेछु; म खाली खुट्टा र नाङ्गै जानेछु । म स्यालहरूझैँ चिच्‍याउनेछु र लाटोकोसेरोझैँ शोक गर्नेछु ।
9 For her wounds may not be made well: for it has come even to Judah, stretching up to the doorway of my people, even to Jerusalem.
किनभने त्यसको घाउ निको हुँदैन, किनकि त्यो यहूदासम्म आएको छ । त्यो मेरा मानिसको प्रवेशद्धार, अर्थात् यरूशलेम पुगिसकेको छ ।
10 Give no word of it in Gath, let there be no weeping at all: at Beth-le-aphrah be rolling in the dust.
गातमा यस विषयमा केही नबताओ, रुँदै नरोओ । बेथ-ओप्रामा म आफैँ धुलोमा लत्‍पतिन्छु ।
11 Be uncovered and go away, you who are living in Shaphir: the one living in Zaanan has not come out of her town; Beth-ezel is taken away from its base, even from its resting-place.
शाफीरका निवासीहरू, नग्‍नता र शर्ममा हिँड । सानानका निवासीहरू बाहिर ननिस्‍क । बेथ एजेल विलाप गर्दछ, किनकि तिनीहरूको सुरक्षा-स्थान खोसिएको छ ।
12 For the one living in Maroth is waiting for good: for evil has come down from the Lord to the doorways of Jerusalem.
किनभने मरोतका निवासीहरू असल समाचारको निम्ति व्याकुल भएर पर्खन्छन्, किनभने परमप्रभुबाट यरूशलेमका प्रवेशद्धारहरुमा विनाश आएको छ ।
13 Let the war-carriage be yoked to the quick-running horse, you who are living in Lachish: she was the first cause of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the wrongdoings of Israel were seen in you.
लाकीशका निवासीहरू, रथलाई घोडाहरूका समुहमा बाँध । ए लाकीश, सियोनकी छोरीको निम्ति तँ नै पापको सुरुवात थिइस्, किनकि तँमा नै इस्राएलका अपराधहरू भेटिएका थिए ।
14 For this cause give a parting offering to Moresheth-gath: the daughter of Achzib will be a deceit to the king of Israel.
यसैकारण तिमीहरूले मोरेशेत-गातलाई बिदाईको उपहार दिनेछौ । अक्‍जीबको नगरले इस्राएलका राजाहरूलाई निराश बनाउनेछन् ।
15 Even now will the taker of your heritage come to you, you who are living in Mareshah: the glory of Israel will come to destruction for ever.
मारेशाका निवासीहरू, म तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा एउटा विजेता ल्याउनेछु । इस्राएलको वैभव अदुल्‍लाममा आउनेछ ।
16 Let your head be uncovered and your hair cut off in sorrow for the children of your delight: let the hair be pulled from your head like an eagle's; for they have been taken away from you as prisoners.
तिमीहरू हर्षित हुने आफ्ना छोराछोरीहरूका निम्ति आफ्नो केश खौर । आफैँलाई गिद्धझैँ तालुखुइले बनाओ, किनभने तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीहरू तिमीहरूबाट टाढा निर्वासनमा जानेछन् ।
