< Hosea 7 >

1 When I would have healed Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria, for they have committed falsehood, and the thief is come in to steal, the robber is without.
मैले इस्राएललाई निको पार्ने इच्‍छा गर्दा, एफ्राइमको पाप र सामरियाका दुष्‍ट कामहरू प्रकट हुन्छन्, किनकि तिनीहरू धोकापूर्ण काम गर्छन् । एक जना चोर भित्र प्रवेश गर्छ, र डाँकूहरूको समुहले सडकमा आक्रमण गर्छ ।
2 And lest they may say in their hearts, that I remember all their wickedness: their own devices now have beset them about, they have been done before my face.
तिनीहरूका सबै दुष्‍ट कामलाई मैले याद गर्छु, भनी तिनीहरूले आफ्नो हृदयहरूमा महसुस नै गर्दैनन् । अब तिनीहरूका कामहरूले तिनीहरूलाई नै घेर्छन् । ती मेरो अनुहारको सामु छन् ।
3 They have made the king glad with their wickedness: and the princes with their lies.
तिनीहरूले आफ्ना दुष्‍टताले राजालाई, र आफ्ना झुटले अधिकारीहरूलाई खुशी बनाउँछन् ।
4 They are all adulterers, like an oven heated by the baker: the city rested a little from the mingling of the leaven, till the whole was leavened.
रोटी बनाउनेले तताएको तावाजस्‍तै, जसले पिठो मुछेर नफुलेसम्म आगो बाल्‍दैन, तिनीहरू सबै व्यभिचारीहरू हुन् ।
5 The day of our king, the princes began to be mad with wine: he stretched out his hand with scorners.
हाम्रा राजाको दिनमा अधिकारीहरूले आफैंलाई दाखमद्यको मातले बिरामी पार्छन् । ठट्टा गर्नेहरूसँग उसले आफ्नो हात मिलायो ।
6 Because they have applied their heart like an oven, when he laid snares for them: he slept all the night baking them, in the morning he himself was heated as a flaming fire.
किनकि एउटा तावाजस्‍तो हृदयहरूले, तिनीहरू आफ्ना छलपूर्ण योजना बनाउँछन् । तिनीहरूको रिस रातभरि दन्किन्छ । बिहान त्यो ज्वालामय आगोझैं बल्दछ ।
7 They were all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges: all their kings have fallen: there is none amongst them that calleth unto me.
तिनीहरू सबै तावाजस्‍तै तातो छन्, र आफूमाथि शासन गर्नेलाई तिनीहरू भस्म पार्छन् । तिनीहरूका सबै राजा पतित भएका छन् । तीमध्‍ये कसैले मलाई पुकारा गर्दैनन् ।
8 Ephraim himself is mixed among the nations: Ephraim is become as bread baked under the ashes, that is not turned.
एफ्राइमले आफैंलाई अरू मानिसहरूसँग मिसाएको छ । नफर्काइएको रोटीजस्‍तै एफ्राइम छ ।
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knew it not: yea, grey hairs also are spread about upon him, and he is ignorant of it.
परदेशीहरूले उसको शक्तिलाई नष्‍ट गरेको छ, तर उसलाई त्यो थाहा नै छैन । उसमा यताउता केश फुलेका छन्, तर उसलाई त्यो थाहा छैन ।
10 And the pride of Israel shall be humbled before his face: and they have not returned to the Lord their God, nor have they sought him in all these.
इस्राएलको घमण्डले आफ्‍नै विरुद्ध गवाही दिन्छ, तापनि तिनीहरू परमप्रभु आफ्‍ना परमेश्‍वरतिर फर्केका छैनन्, न त यी सबै कुरापछि पनि तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई खोजेका छन् ।
11 And Ephraim is become as a dove that is decoyed, not having a heart: they called upon Egypt, they went to the Assyrians.
एफ्राइमचाहिं सजिलै छकाउन सकिने र विवेकहीन ढुकुरजस्‍तो छ, मिश्रदेशलाई पुकारा गर्दैछ, त्‍यसपछि अश्‍शूरतिर उड्दैछ ।
12 And when they shall go, I will spread my net upon them: I will bring them down as the fowl of the air, I will strike them as their congregation hath heard.
जब तिनीहरू जान्छन्, तब तिनीहरूमाथि म आफ्‍नो जाल फैलाउनेछु, आकाशका चराहरूझैं तिनीहरूलाई म तल खसाल्‍नेछु । तिनीहरू एकसाथ जम्‍मा हुँदा म तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनेछु ।
13 Woe to them, for they have departed from me: they shall be wasted because they have transgressed against me: and I redeemed them: and they have spoken lies against me.
तिनीहरूलाई धिक्‍कार छ! किनकि तिनीहरू मबाट टाढा बहकिएका छन् । तिनीहरूमाथि विनाश आउँदै छ! तिनीहरूले मेरो विरुद्ध विद्रोह गरेका छन्! मैले तिनीहरूलाई बचाउन सक्‍थें, तर तिनीहरूले मेरो विरुद्धमा झुट बोले ।
14 And they have not cried to me with their heart, but they howled in their beds: they have thought upon wheat and wine, they are departed from me.
आफ्ना सारा हृदयले, तिनीहरूले मसँग पुकारा गरेका छैनन्, तर आफ्ना ओछ्यानमा तिनीहरू विलाप गर्छन् । अन्‍न, र नयाँ दाखमद्यको निम्ति तिनीहरू एकसाथ भेला हुन्छन्, र तिनीहरू मबाट टाढा जान्छन् ।
15 And I have chastised them, and strengthened their arms: and they have imagined evil against me.
मैले तिनीहरूलाई तालिम दिएँ र तिनीहरूका पाखुराहरूलाई सशक्‍त बनाएँ, तापनि अहिले तिनीहरू मेरो विरुद्धमा नै खराब षड्‌यन्‍त्र रच्‍छन् ।
16 They returned, that they might be without yoke: they became like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, for the rage of their tongue. This is their derision in the land of Egypt.
तिनीहरू फर्कन्छन्, तर म, अर्थात् सर्वोच्‍चतिर भने फर्कंदैनन् । तिनीहरू धोका दिने धनुझैं छन् । आफ्ना जिब्रोको निर्लज्‍जताका कारणले, तिनीहरूका अधिकारीहरू तरवारले मारिनेछन् । मिश्रदेशमा यही तिनीहरूको उपहास हुनेछ ।
