Amos 4
1 Listen to this message, you well-fed cows of Bashan who live on Mount Samaria, who oppress the poor and crush the needy, and who order your husbands, “Bring us drinks!”
ए बाशानका गाईहरू, यो वचन सुन, तिमीहरू जो सामरियाको पहाडमा बस्छौ, तिमीहरू जसले गरिबहरूलाई थिचोमिचो गर्छौ, तिमीहरू जसले दरिद्रहरूलाई कुल्चिन्छौ, तिमीहरू जसले आफ्ना पतिहरूलाई भन्छौ, “हामीलाई मद्य ल्याउनुहोस्” ।
2 The Lord God has sworn by his holiness: Watch out! For the time is coming when they will drag you away with hooks, each one of you will be like a fish on a hook.
परमप्रभुले आफ्नो पवित्रताद्वारा प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको छ, “हेर, तिमीहरूमाथि यस्ता दिनहरू आउनेछन् जति बेला तिमीहरूलाई तिनीहरूले अंकुसेले, र तिमीहरूमध्ये अन्तिम बचेकाहरूलाई बल्छीले लैजानेछन् ।
3 You will leave through breaches in the city walls, thrown out in the direction of Mount Hermon.
तिमीहरू सहरका पर्खालका धाँदाहरूका बिचबाट जानेछौ, तिमीहरू हरेक व्यक्ति सिधै त्यहाँबाट जानेछौ, र तिमीहरू हर्मोनतिर फालिनेछौ —यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
4 Why don't you go to Bethel and sin? Go to Gilgal and add to your sins even more? Offer your sacrifices in the morning, bring your tithes after three days.
“बेथेलमा जाओ र पाप गर, गिलगालमा जाओ अनि धेरै पाप बढाओ, हरेक बिहान आफ्ना बलिदानहरू, हरेक तिन दिनमा आफ्ना दशांशहरू ल्याओ ।
5 Burn a thank offering of bread made with yeast, and announce what you're giving as freewill offerings so everyone will know. This is what you love to do! declares the Lord God.
रोटीले धन्यवादको बलिदान अर्पण गर, स्वइच्छा भेटीको घोषणा गर । तीबारे घोषणा गर, किनकि यस कुराले तिमीहरू, इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई खुसी तुल्याउँछ, — यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो ।
6 It was I who made sure you had nothing to eat in all your cities, and a lack of food wherever you lived, but still you wouldn't return to me, says the Lord.
मैले तिमीहरूका सबै सहरहरूमा तिमीहरूका भोको पेट दिएँ र तिमीहरूका सबै ठाउँहरूमा रोटीको अभाव पारें । तापनि तिमीहरू मकहाँ फर्केका छैनौ —यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
7 It was I who kept the rain from falling when there was still three months before harvest. One city would have rain, while another would not. One field would have rain, another would dry up from lack of rain.
फसल काट्नलाई तिन महिना बाँकी हुँदा नै मैले पनि तिमीहरूबाट वर्षालाई रोकें । एउटा सहरमा मैले पानी पर्न दिएँ र अर्को सहरमा मैले पानी पर्न दिइनँ । जमिनको एक भागमा पानी पर्यो, तर जमिनको जुन भागमा पानी परेन त्यो सुक्यो ।
8 People wandered from town to town looking for water, yet were still thirsty. But still you did not return to me, declares the Lord.
दुई वा तिनवटा सहर पानी पिउनको निम्ति अर्को सहरतर्फ धर्मराउँदै हिंडे, तर तृप्त भएनन् । तापनि तिमीहरू मतर्फ फर्केका छैनौ —यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
9 I struck your many farms and vineyards with blight and mildew; locusts devoured your fig trees and olive trees. But still you did not return to me, declares the Lord.
डढुवा र ओसले मैले तिमीहरूलाई कष्ट दिएँ । तिमीहरूका असङ्ख्य बगैँचाहरू, तिमीहरूका दाखबारीहरू, तिमीहरूका नेभाराका रूखहरू, र जैतूनका रूखहरू, सलहले ती सबैलाई सखाप पारे । तापनि तिमीहरू मतर्फ फर्केका छैनौ —यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
10 I sent a plague on you like I did in Egypt. I killed your young men in battle; I took away your horses; I made you smell the stench of dead bodies in your camps. But still you did not return to me, declares the Lord.
मैले मिश्रमा झैं तिमीहरूका बिचमा विपत्ति पठाएँ । तिमीहरूका जवान मानिसहरूलाई मैले तरवारले मारें, तिमीहरूका घोडाहरूलाई लिएर गएँ, र तिमीहरूका छाउनीको दुर्गन्ध तिमीहरूको नाकसम्म आउने पारें । तापनि तिमीहरू मतर्फ फर्केका छैनौ —यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
11 Some of you I destroyed as I destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. You were like a burning stick pulled out of a fire. But still you did not return to me, declares the Lord.
मैले तिमीहरूका बिचमा भएका सहरहरू नाश पारें, जसरी परमेश्वरले सदोम र गमोरालाई नाश पार्नुभएको थियो । तिमीहरू आगोबाट बाहिर तानिएका अगुल्टाहरूझैं थियौ । तापनि तिमीहरू मतर्फ फर्केका छैनौ —यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
12 Therefore, this is what I am going to do to you, Israel. Because I am going to do this, Israel, prepare to meet your God!
त्यसैले, ए इस्राएल, म तेरो बिचमा केही डरलाग्दो कुरा गर्नेछु । र मैले तिमीहरूका बिचमा केही डरलाग्दो गर्ने हुनाले, ए इस्राएल, आफ्नो परमेश्वरलाई भेट्न तयार हो!
13 Watch! The One who made the mountains, who created the winds, who reveals his thoughts to humankind, who turns the sunlight into darkness, who walks on the high places of the earth—the Lord God of power is his name!
किनकि, हेर, जसले पहाडहरू बनाउनुहुन्छ, उहाँले नै बतास पनि सृष्टि गर्नुहुन्छ, आफ्ना विचारहरू मानिसजातिकहाँ प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ, बिहानको उज्यालोलाई अन्धकार बनाउनुहुन्छ, र पृथ्वीका उच्च ठाउँहरूलाई कुल्चिनुहुन्छ । परमप्रभु, सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वर, उहाँको नाउँ हो ।”
