< Hosea 4 >

1 Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel, for the Lord shall enter into judgment with the inhabitants of the land: for there is no truth, and there is no mercy, and there is no knowledge of God in the land.
ए इस्राएलका मानिस हो, परमप्रभुको वचन सुन । यस देशका वासिन्दाहरूको विरुद्धमा परमप्रभुको एउटा मुद्धा छ, किनभने देशमा सत्यता, करारको विश्‍वस्‍तता, परमप्रभुको ज्ञान छैन ।
2 Cursing, and lying, and killing, and theft, and adultery have overflowed, and blood hath touched blood.
त्यहाँ सराप, झुटो बोली, हत्या, चोरी र व्यभिचार छ । मानिसहरूले सबै सीमा तोडेका छन्, र रगत बगेपछि रगत बगेको छ ।
3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth in it shall languish with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of the air: yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be gathered together.
यसैले त्यो देश सुख्‍खा हुँदैछ, र त्यहाँ बसोबास गर्ने सबै खेर जाँदैछन् । मैदानका पशुहरू, आकाशका चराहरू, र समुद्र भएका माछासमेत मारिंदैछन् ।
4 But yet let not any man judge: and let not a man be rebuked: for thy people are as they that contradict the priest.
तर कसैलाई मुद्धा ल्‍याउन नदेओ । कसैले कसैलाई पनि दोष नलगाओस् । किनकि मैले दोष लगाइरहेको तिमी, पुजारीहरूलाई नै हो ।
5 And thou shalt fall today, and the prophet also shall fall with thee: in the night I have made thy mother to be silent.
तिमी पुजारीहरू दिनमा ठेस खानेछौ । तिमीहरूसँगै अगमवक्ताहरू पनि रातमा ठेस खानेछन्, र तिमीहरूकी आमालाई म नष्‍ट गर्नेछु ।
6 My people have been silent, because they had no knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will reject thee, that thou shalt not do the office of priesthood to me: and thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children.
मेरा मानिसहरू ज्ञानको कमिले गर्दा नष्‍ट भइरहेका छन् । तिमी पुजारीहरूले ज्ञानलाई इन्कार गरेको कारणले, तिमीहरूलाई मेरो पुजारी हुनबाट म पनि इन्कार गर्नेछु ।तिमीहरूले मेरो व्यवस्थालाई बिर्सेका कारणले, म तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर भए पनि म तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीलाई बिर्सनेछु ।
7 According to the multitude of them so have they sinned against me: I will change their glory into shame.
पुजारीहरूका सङ्ख्या जति धैरै वृद्धि भयो, त्‍यति नै धेरै तिनीहरूले मेरो विरूद्धमा पाप गरे । आफ्नो आदरलाई तिनीहरूले लाजसँग साटे ।
8 They shall eat the sins of my people, and shall lift up their souls to their iniquity.
मेरा मानिसहरूको पापमा तिनीहरू पोसिन्‍छन्, र उनीहरूले धेरै दुष्‍टता गरून् भन्‍ने तिनीहरूको इच्‍छा हुन्‍छ ।
9 And there shall be like people like priest: and I will visit their ways upon them, and I will repay them their devices.
पुजारीहरूलाई जस्‍तो गरियो मानिसहरूलाई त्‍यस्‍तै गरिनेछः तिनीहरूका अभ्‍यासहरूका निम्‍ति म तिनीहरू सबैलाई दण्ड दिनेछु, तिनीहरूका कामहरूको बदला म तिनीहरूलाई दिनेछु ।
10 And they shall eat and shall not be filled: they have committed fornication, and have not ceased: because they have forsaken the Lord in not observing his law.
तिनीहरूले खानेछन् तर तिनीहरूसँग येथेष्‍ट हुनेछैन, तिनीहरूले वेश्‍यागमन गर्नेछन् तर वृद्धि हुनेछैन, किनभने तिनीहरू परमप्रभुबाट धेरै टाढा गएका छन् ।
11 Fornication, and wine, and drunkenness take away the understanding.
तिनीहरूलाई यौनको छाडापन, दाखमद्य र नयाँ मद्य मन पर्छ, जसले तिनीहरूका समझलाई नाश पारेका छन् ।
12 My people have consulted their stocks, and their staff hath declared unto them: for the spirit of fornication hath deceived them, and they have committed fornication against their God.
मेरा मानिसहरूले काठका मूर्तिहरूसँग सल्लाह लिन्छन्, र तिनीहरूका लौरोले तिनीहरूलाई अगमवाणीहरू दिन्छन् । किनभने यौनको छाडापनको विचारले तिनीहरूलाई भ्रममा पारेको छ, र आफ्‍ना परमेश्‍वरमा विश्‍वसयोग्‍य हुन छोडेर वेश्‍याहरूले जस्‍तो व्यवहार तिनीहरूले गरेका छन् ।
13 They offered sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burnt incense upon the hills: under the oak, and the poplar, and the turpentine tree, because the shadow thereof was good: therefore shall your daughters commit fornication, and your spouses shall be adulteresses.
पर्वतका टाकुराहरूमा तिनीहरूले बलि चढाउँछन् र पहाडहरूमा, फलाँट, लहरे-पीपल र तारपीनका फेदमा धूप बाल्छन्, किनभने छाया शितल हुन्छ । यसैले तिमीहरूका छोरीहरूले यौनका अनैतिक काम गर्छन्, अनि तिमीहरूका बुहारीहरूले व्यभिचार गर्छन् ।
14 I will not visit upon your daughters when they shell commit fornication, and upon your spouses when they shall commit adultery: because themselves conversed with harlots, and offered sacrifice with the effeminate, and the people that doth not understand shall be beaten.
तिमीहरूका छोरीहरूले यौनका अनैतिक काम गर्दा म तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनेछैन, न त तिमीहरूका बुहारीहरूले व्यभिचार गर्दा तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनेछु । किनकि पुरुषहरूले पनि आफैंलाई वेश्‍याहरूकहाँ दिन्छन्, र पवित्र वेश्‍याहरूसँग तिनीहरूले अनैतिक काम गर्न सकून् भनेर तिनीहरू बलिदानहरू चढाउँछन् । यी मानिसहरू जसले बुझ्‍दैनन्, तिनीहरू तल फालिनेछन् ।
15 If thou play the harlot, O Israel, at least let not Juda offend: and go ye not into Galgal, and come not up into Bethaven, and do not swear: The Lord liveth.
तँ इस्राएलले व्यभिचार गरेको भए पनि, यहूदाचाहिं दोषी नहोस् । ए मानिस हो, तिमीहरू गिलगालमा नजाओ माथि बेथ-आवनमा नजाओ, र “परमप्रभु जिउँदो हुनुभएझैं” भनेर शपथ नखाओ ।
16 For Israel hath gone astray like a wanton heifer: now will the Lord feed them, as a lamb in a spacious place.
किनकि एउटी अटेरी साँडी-गाईले झैं इस्राएलले अटेरी भएर व्यवहार गरेको छ । भेडाहरूलाई घाँसे-मैदानमा लगेझैं परमप्रभुले कसरी तिनीहरूलाई खर्कमा लान सक्‍नुहुन्‍छ?
17 Ephraim is a partaker with idols, let him alone.
एफ्राइमले आफूलाई मूर्तिहरूसँग मिलाएको छ । त्यसलाई वास्‍तै नगर ।
18 Their banquet is separated, they have gone astray by fornication: they that should have protected them have loved to bring shame upon them.
तिनीहरूका कडा दाखमद्यले छोड्दा पनि, तिनीहरू निरन्‍तर व्यभिचारमा गर्छन् । र त्यसको शासकहरूले आफ्‍नो लज्‍जास्‍पद कुरालाई ज्यादै मन पराउँछन् ।
19 The wind hath bound them up in its wings, and they shall be confounded because of their sacrifices.
हावाले त्यसलाई आफ्ना पखेटामा बेर्नेछ, र आफ्ना बलिदानहरूका कारणले तिनीहरू शर्ममा पर्नेछन् ।
