Joel 1
1 The word of the Lord that came to Joel, the son of Pethuel.
पतुएलका छोरा योएलकहाँ आएको परमप्रभु वचन यही हो ।
2 Listen to this, elders, and pay close attention, all inhabitants of the land. Did this ever happen in your days or in the days of your fathers?
ए धर्मगुरुहरू हो, यो कुरा सुन, र ए देशका सबै बासिन्दाहरू हो ध्यानसँग सुन । तिमीहरूका दिनमा वा तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूका दिनमा कहिल्यै यस्तो भएको छ?
3 Talk this over with your sons, and your sons with their sons, and their sons with another generation.
यसको विषयमा आफ्ना छोराछोरीलाई भन, र तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीले आफ्ना छोराछोरीलाई भनून्, र तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीले अर्को पुस्तालाई भनून् ।
4 The locust has eaten what the caterpillar has left, and the beetle has eaten what the locust has left, and the mildew has eaten what the beetle has left.
बथानमा हिंड्ने सलहहरूले जे बाँकी छोडेका छन्, ती ठुला सलहले खाएका छन्, ठुला सलहले जे बाँकी छोडेका छन् ती फट्याङ्ग्राले खाएका छन्, र फट्याङ्ग्राले जे बाँकी छोडेका छन् ती झुसिल्किराले खाएका छन् ।
5 Rouse yourselves, you drunkards, and weep and wail, all you who delight in drinking wine; for it has been cut off from your mouth.
ए मद्यले मातेकाहरू हो, उठ र रोओ! ए दाखमद्य पिउनेहरू, सबै विलाप गर, किनभने मिठो दाखमद्यलाई तिमीहरूबाट खोसिएको छ ।
6 For a nation has ascended over my land: strong and without number. His teeth are like the teeth of a lion, and his molars are like that of a lion’s young.
किनकि मेरो देशमा एउटा जाति आएको छ, बलियो र अनगिन्ती छ । त्यसका दाँत सिंहका दाँतझैं छन्, र त्यसका दाह्रा सिंहनीका झैं छन् ।
7 He has put my vineyard into desolation, and he has pulled off the bark of my fig tree. He has stripped it bare and cast it away; its branches have become white.
त्यसले मेरो दाखबारीलाई उजाड ठाउँ बनाएको छ र मेरो नेभाराका बोटलाई लाछेर नाङ्गो पारेको छ । त्यसका बोक्राहरू त्यसले ताछेको छ र टाढा फालेको छ, र हाँगाहरू केवल सेता मात्र छन् ।
8 Lament like a betrothed virgin, wrapped in sackcloth at the loss of the husband of her youth.
आफ्नो भर्खरको पतिको मृत्यु भएर भाङ्ग्रा लगाएकी कन्या केटीले झैं विलाप गर ।
9 Sacrifice and libation have perished from the house of the Lord; the priests who are ministers of the Lord have mourned.
परमप्रभुको मन्दिरबाट अन्नबलि र अर्घबलि हटाइएका छन् । परमप्रभुको सेवा गर्ने पुजारीहरू विलाप गर्छन् ।
10 The region has been depopulated, the soil has mourned. For the wheat has been devastated, the wine has been disfigured, the oil has languished.
खेतहरू सखाप पारिएका छन्, र अन्नहरू नष्ट पारिएका हुनाले भूमिले विलाप गर्दैछ । नयाँ दाखमद्य सुकेको छ, तेल बाँकी छैन ।
11 The farmers have been confounded, the vineyard workers have wailed over the crop and the barley, because the harvest of the field has perished.
ए किसानहरू हो, लज्जित होओ, र दाखबारी लगाउनेहरू हो, विलाप गर । किनभने भूमिको उब्जनी नष्ट भएको छ । गहुँ र जौका बढिरहेका छैनन् ।
12 The vineyard is in ruin, and the fig tree has languished. The pomegranate tree, and the palm tree, and the fruit tree, and all the trees of the field have withered. For joy has been thrown into disorder before the sons of men.
दाखका बोटहरू ओइलाएका छन् र नेभाराका बोटहरू सुकेका छन्, र अनार बोटहरू, खजूर बोटहरू र स्याउको बोटहरू, खेतबारीका सबै बोटहरू ओइलाएका छन् । किनभने मानवजातिका सन्तानबाट आनन्द विलाएर गएको छ ।
13 Priests, gird yourselves and lament. Ministers of the altars, wail. Enter, ministers of my God, lie in sackcloth. For sacrifice and libation have passed away from the house of your God.
ए पुजारीहरू हो, भाङ्ग्रा लगाओ र विलाप गर! वेदीमा सेवा गर्नेहरू हो, विलाप गर । ए मेरा परमेश्वरका सेवा गर्नेहरू हो, आओ, र रातभर भाङ्ग्रा लगाएर बस । किनभने तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको मन्दिरबाट अन्नबलि र अर्घबलि हटाइएका छन् ।
14 Sanctify a fast, call an assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of your God. And cry out to the Lord:
पवित्र उपवासको घोषणा गर, र पवित्र सभा आव्हान गर । परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा देशका सबै धर्मगुरुहरू र बासिन्दाहरूलाई भेला गराओ र, अनि परमप्रभुमा पुकार ।
15 “Ah, ah, ah, the day!” For the day of the Lord is near, and it will arrive, like a devastation, before the powerful.
हाय! त्यो दिन, किनकि परमप्रभुको दिन नजिकै छ । त्योसँगै सर्वशक्तिमान्बाट विनाश आउनेछ ।
16 Has not your nourishment perished from before your eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
के हाम्रै आँखाका सामु खानेकुरा, अनि हाम्रा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरबाट आनन्द र रमाहट रोकिएको छैन र?
17 The mules have rotted in their own manure, the barns have been demolished, the wine cellars have been destroyed, because the grain has been ruined.
माटोका डल्लामुनि बीउहरू सडे, भण्डारहरू उजाड भए, र अन्नका भकारीहरू भत्काइए, किनकि अन्न सुकेको छ ।
18 Why have the animals groaned, the herds of cattle bellowed? because there is no pasture for them. Yes, and even the flocks of sheep have been lost.
पशुहरू कसरी विलाप् गर्छन्! पाल्तु पशुका बथानहरूले कष्ट भोग्दैछन्, किनकि तिनीहरूका निम्ति खर्क छैन । साथै, भेडाका बगालहरू पनि कष्ट भोग्दैछन् ।
19 To you, O Lord, I will cry out, because fire has devoured the beauty of the wilderness, and the flame has burned all the trees of the countryside.
हे परमप्रभु, म तपाईंमा पुकारा गर्दछु । किनकि उजाड-स्थानका खर्कहरूलाई आगोले भस्म पारेका छ, र खेतका सबै रूखहरूलाई आगोले जलाएको छ ।
20 Yes, and even the beasts of the field have gazed up at you, like the dry ground thirsting for rain, because the fountains of waters have dried up, and fire has devoured the beauty of the wilderness.
जमिनका पशुहरू पनि तपाईंका निम्ति तड्पिन्छन्, किनकि पानीका खोलाहरू सुकेका छन्, र उजाड-स्थानका खर्कहरूलाई आगोले भस्म पारेको छ ।
