< Amos 2 >

1 Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime.
परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छः “मोआबका तिन वा चारवटा पापका निम्‍ति समेत, दण्ड दिनबाट म पछि हट्‍नेछैनँ, किनभने त्यसले एदोमका राजालाई जलाएर चून बनायो ।
2 And I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerijoth; and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, [and] with the sound of the trumpet.
मोआबमा म आगो पठाउनेछु, र त्यसले किर्योतका किल्लाहरूलाई भस्म पार्नेछ । चिच्‍याहट र तुरहीको आवाजमा, ठुलो गर्जनसहित मोआबचाहिं मर्नेछ ।
3 And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith Jehovah.
त्यसको न्यायकर्तालाई म नष्‍ट गर्नेछु र त्यसका सबै राजकुमारलाई म मार्नेछु,” परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।
4 Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because they have despised the law of Jehovah, and have not kept his statutes; and their lies have caused them to err, after which their fathers walked.
परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छः “यहूदाका तिन वा चारवटा पापका निम्‍ति समेत, दण्ड दिनबाट म पछि हट्‍नेछैनँ, किनभने तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको व्यवस्थालाई तिरस्‍कार गरे, र उहाँका विधिहरू पालना गरेनन् । तिनीहरूका झुटले तिनीहरूलाई भ्रममा पार्‍यो, जसका पछि तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरू पनि हिंडेका थिए ।
5 And I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
यहूदामा म आगो पठाउनेछु, र त्यसले यरूशलेमका किल्लाहरूलाई भस्म पार्नेछ ।”
6 Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;
परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छः “इस्राएलका तिन वा चारवटा पापका निम्‍ति समेत, दण्ड दिनबाट म पछि हट्‍नेछैनँ, किनभने तिनीहरूले निर्दोषहरूलाई चाँदीमा, अनि दरिद्रहरूलाई एक जोर जुत्तामा बेचे ।
7 panting after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turning aside the way of the meek; and a man and his father will go in unto the [same] maid, to profane my holy name.
मानिसहरूले भुइँमा भएको धुलोलाई कुल्चेझैँ, तिनीहरूले गरिबहरूका शिरहरू कुल्चन्‍छन् । तिनीहरूले थिचोमिचोमा परेकालाई पर धकेल्‍छन् । एक जना मानिस र उसका बाबु एउटै केटीसँग सुत्‍छन्, र यसरी मेरो पवित्र नाउँलाई अशुद्ध पार्छन् ।
8 And they lay [themselves] down by every altar upon clothes taken in pledge, and they drink [in] the house of their God the wine of the condemned.
तिनीहरूले बन्धकको रूपमा लिएका लुगाहरूमाथि नै हरेक वेदीको छेउमा पल्टिन्‍छन्, र जरिमानामा लिएको दाखमद्य नै तिनीहरूले आफ्‍नो परमेश्‍वरका मन्दिरमा पिउँछन् ।
9 But I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was as the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; but I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
तापनि तिनीहरूका सामु मैले एमोरीलाई नाश गरें, जसका उचाइ देवदारुहरूका उचाइझैं थियो । त्यो फलाँटको रूख जत्तिकै बलियो थियो । तापनि मैले त्यसको माथिको फल, अनि त्यसको मुनिका जराहरूलाई नाश गरें ।
10 And I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
साथै मैले तिमीहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट निकालेर माथि ल्याएँ, र एमोरीहरूको देश कब्जा गर्नलाई, चालिस वर्षसम्म तिमीहरूलाई मरुभूमिमा डोर्‍याएँ ।
11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, ye children of Israel? saith Jehovah.
तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीका बिचबाट अगमवक्ताहरू, र तिमीहरूका जवान मानिसहरूबाट नाजिरीहरू मैले खडा गरें । ए इस्राएलका मानिस हो, के यो सत्य होइन? — यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
12 And ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
तर तिमीहरूले नाजिरीहरूलाई दाखमद्य पिउन प्रेरित गर्‍यौ, अनि अगमवक्ताहरूलाई अगमवाणी नबोल्‍ने आज्ञा दियौ ।
13 Behold, I will press upon you, as a cart presseth that is full of sheaves.
हेर, अन्‍न भरिएको गाडाले कसैलाई कुल्चेझैं, म तिमीहरूलाई कुल्चनेछु ।
14 And flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver his soul.
तेज दौडने उम्केर जान सक्‍नेछैन, र बलियोले आफ्‍नो बलमाथि बल पाउनेछैन, न त शक्तिशालीले आफैंलाई बचाउन सक्‍नेछ ।
15 Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and the swift of foot shall not escape, and he that rideth the horse shall not deliver his soul;
धनुधारी खडा हुनेछैन । तीव्र गतिमा दौडने उम्कने छैन । घोडचडीले आफैंलाई बचाउन सक्‍नेछैन ।
16 and he that is stout-hearted among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith Jehovah.
त्यस दिनमा सबैभन्दा साहसी योद्धाहरू पनि नाङ्गै भाग्‍नेछन् — यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
