Hosea 12
1 Ephraim feedeth on the wind, and followeth the burning heat: all the day long he multiplied lies and desolation: and he hath made a covenant with the Assyrians, and carried oil into Egypt.
एफ्राइमले हावा खान्छ र त्यसले पूर्वीय बतासको पछि लाग्छ । त्यसले झुट र हिंसालाई निरन्तर बढाउँछ । तिनीहरूले अश्शूरसँग करार बाँध्दछन् र मिश्रदेशमा जैतूनको तेल लान्छन् ।
2 Therefore there is a judgment of the Lord with Juda, and a visitation for Jacob: he will render to him according to his ways, and according to his devices.
यहूदाको विरुद्ध परमप्रभुसँग एउटा मुद्धा छ र याकूबले जे गरेको छ, त्यसको लागि दण्ड दिनुहुनेछ । त्यसका कामहरूका निम्ति उहाँले त्यसलाई बदला दिनुहुनेछ ।
3 In the womb he supplanted his brother: and by his strength he had success with an angel.
गर्भमा नै याकूबले आफ्नो दाजुको कुर्कुच्चा समाते, र आफ्नो जवान अवस्थामा तिनले परमेश्वरसँग लडन्त गरे ।
4 And he prevailed over the angel, and was strengthened: he wept, and made supplication to him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke with us.
तिनले स्वर्गदूतसँग लडन्त गरे र जिते । तिनी रोए र उहाँको निगाहको निम्ति बिन्ती गरे । तिनले बेथेलमा परमेश्वरलाई भेटे । त्यहाँ तिनीसँग परमेश्वर बोल्नुभयो ।
5 Even the Lord the God of hosts, the Lord is his memorial.
उहाँ सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ । पुकारा गर्नुपर्ने उहाँको नाउँ “परमप्रभु” हो ।
6 Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and hope in thy God always.
यसैले आफ्नो परमेश्वरकहाँ फर्क । करारको विश्वस्तता र न्याय कायम राख र आफ्नो परमेश्वरमा निरन्तर पर्ख ।
7 He is like Chanaan, there is a deceitful balance in his hand, he hath loved oppression.
व्यापारीहरूका हातमा छलको तराजु रहेको छ, तिनीहरूलाई छल गर्न मन पराउँछन् ।
8 And Ephraim said: But yet I am become rich, I have found me an idol: all my labours shall not find me the iniquity that I have committed.
एफ्राइमले भन्यो, “निश्चय नै म धेरै धनी भएको छु । आफ्नो निम्ति मैले धनसम्पत्ति पाएको छु । मेरो सबै काममा कुनै अपराध हुने कुरा, पाप हुने कुनै कुरा तिनीहरूले भेट्टाउनेछैनन् ।”
9 And I that am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, will yet cause thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the feast.
“मिश्रदेशदेखि नै म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर हुँ । तोकिएको चाडका दिनहरूमा झैं, तिमीहरूलाई फेरि म पालहरूमा बस्ने बनाउनेछु ।
10 And I have spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and I have used similitudes by the ministry of the prophets.
म अगमवक्ताहरूसँग बोलें, र तिमीहरूका निम्ति मैले तिनीहरूलाई धेरै दर्शनहरू दिएँ । अगमवक्ताहरूका हातद्वारा मैले दृष्टान्तहरू दिएँ ।”
11 If Galaad be an idol, then in vain were they in Galgal offering sacrifices with bullocks: for their altars also are as heaps in the furrows of the field.
गिलादमा दुष्टता छ भने, निश्चय नै त्यहाँका मानिसहरू बेकामका छन् । गिलगालमा तिनीहरू साँढेहरू बलि चढाउँछन् । तिनीहरूका वेदीहरू जोतेको खेतमा ढुङ्गाका थुप्रोझैं हुनेछन् ।
12 Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and was a keeper for a wife.
याकूब अरामको देशमा भागे । एक जना पत्नी पाउनलाई इस्राएलले काम गरे, र एक जना पत्नी पाउनलाई तिनले भेडाका बगालको रेखदेख गरे ।
13 But the Lord by a prophet brought Israel out of Egypt: and he was preserved by a prophet.
परमप्रभुले एक जना अगमवक्ताद्वारा इस्राएललाई मिश्रदेशबाट बाहिर ल्याउनुभयो, र एक जना अगमवक्ताद्वारा नै उहाँले तिनीहरूको रेखदेख गर्नुभयो ।
14 Ephraim hath provoked me to wrath with his bitterness, and his blood shall come upon him, and his Lord will render his reproach unto him.
एफ्राइमले परमप्रभुलाई अत्यन्तै क्रोधित पारेको छ । यसैले त्यसका परमप्रभुले त्यसको रगतको दोष त्यसमाथि नै छोड्नुहुनेछ र त्यसको अपमान त्यसैलाई फर्काउनुहुनेछ ।
