Micah 3
1 And I said: Hear, O ye princes of Jacob, and ye chiefs of the house of Israel: Is it not your part to know judgment,
मैले भनेँ, “अब सुन, ए याकूबका अगुवाहरू र इस्राएलका घरानाका शासकहरू, के इन्साफलाई बुझ्नु तिमीहरूका निम्ति ठिक होइन र?
2 You that hate good, and love evil: that violently pluck off their skins from them, and their flesh from their bones?
तिमीहरू जसले असल कुरालाई घृणा गर्छौ र दुष्टलाई रुचाउँछौ, तिमीहरू जसले तिनीहरूका छालालाई काढ्दछौ, र तिनीहरूका हड्डीबाट मासुलाई अलग गर्दछौ,
3 Who have eaten the flesh of my people, and have flayed their skin from off them: and have broken, and chopped their bones as for the kettle, and as flesh in the midst of the pot.
तिमीहरु जसले मेरा मानिसहरूका मासु खान्छौ, र तिनीहरूका छाला काढ्छौ, तिनीहरूका हड्डी भाँच्छौ, र तिनीहरूलाई भाँडोमा राख्ने मासु, र खड्कुँलोमा पकाउने मासुझैँ टुक्रा-टुक्रा गर्दछौ ।
4 Then shall they cry to the Lord, and he will not hear them: and he will hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved wickedly in their devices.
त्यसपछि तिमी शासकहरूले परमप्रभुलाई पुकार्नेछौ, तर उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई जवाज दिनुहुनेछैन । त्यस बेला उहाँले आफ्नो मुहार तिमीहरूदेखि लुकाउनुहुनेछ किनभने तिमीहरूले दुष्ट कामहरू गरेका छौ ।”
5 Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that make my people err: that bite with their teeth, and preach peace: and if a man give not something into their mouth, they prepare war against him.
परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्नुहुन्छ, “मेरा मानिसहरूलाई गलत मार्गमा हिँडाउने अगमवक्ताहरू, कसैले तिनीहरूलाई केही खान दिए भने, तिनीहरू ‘शान्ति होस्’ भनेर घोषणा गर्दछन् । तर यदि त्यसले तिनीहरूलाई केही खान दिएन भने, तिनीहरू त्यसको विरुद्ध युद्ध गर्नको निम्ति लागिपर्दछन् ।
6 Therefore night shall be to you instead of vision, and darkness to you instead of divination; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be darkened over them.
यसैकारण, तिमीहरूका निम्ति त्यो दर्शनविनाको रात हुनेछ । अनि त्यो यस्तो अन्धकार हुनेछ, कि तिमीहरूले कुनै भविष्यवाणी गर्नेछैनौ । अगमवक्ताहरूका निम्ति सूर्य अस्ताउनेछ, र तिनीहरूमाथि दिन पनि अन्धकार हुनेछ ।
7 And they shall be confounded that see visions, and the diviners shall be confounded: and they shall all cover their faces, because there is no answer of God.
दर्शन देख्नेहरू शर्ममा पर्नेछन्, र भविष्यवक्ताहरू भ्रमित हुनेछन् । तिनीहरू सबैले आफ्ना मुख छोप्नेछन्, किनभने मबाट कुनै जवाफ आउनेछैन ।”
8 But yet I am filled with the strength of the spirit of the Lord, with judgment, and power: to declare unto Jacob his wickedness, and to Israel his sin.
तर याकूबलाई त्यसको अपराध र इस्राएललाई त्यसको पापको घोषणा गर्न मचाहिँ परमप्रभुको आत्माद्वारा शक्ति, न्याय र पराक्रमले भरिपूर्ण छु ।
9 Hear this, ye princes of the house of Jacob, and ye judges of the house of Israel: you that abhor judgment, and pervert all that is right.
अब, न्यायलाई घृणा गर्ने, र सबै असल कुरालाई भ्रष्ट गर्ने ए याकूबका घरानाका अगुवाहरू, र इस्राएलका घरानाका शासकहरू, यो सुन ।
10 You that build up Sion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
तिमीहरूले सियोनलाई रगतद्धारा र यरूशलेमलाई अधर्मद्धारा निर्माण गर्छौ ।
11 Her princes have judged for bribes, and her priests have taught for hire, and her prophets divined for money: and they leaned upon the Lord, saying: Is not the Lord in the midst of us? no evil shall come upon us.
तिमीहरूका अगुवाहरूले घुस खाएर न्याय गर्छन्, तिमीहरूका पुजारीहरूले मोलको निम्ति शिक्षा दिन्छन्, र तिमीहरूका अगमवक्ताहरूले पैसाको निम्ति अगमवाणी बोल्दछन् । तथापि तिमीहरू परमप्रभुमा भर पर्छौ र भन्छौ, “के परमप्रभु हामीसँग हुनुहुन्न? हामीमाथि कुनै खराबी आइपर्नेछैन ।”
12 Therefore, because of you, Sion shall be ploughed as a field, and Jerusalem shall be as a heap of stones, and the mountain of the temple as the high places of the forests.
यसैकारण, तिमीहरूको कारण, सियोन जोतिएको खेतझैँ हुनेछ, यरूशलेम भग्नावशेषको थुप्रो हुनेछ, र मन्दिरको डाँडाचाहिँ घना जङ्गल हुनेछ ।
