< Ezekiel 33 >

1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
तब परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
2 “Son of man, tell your people: If I brought an army to attack a country, the people there would choose one of them to be their watchman.
“ए मानिसको छोरा, तेरा मानिसहरूलाई यो घोषणा गर् । तिनीहरूलाई यसो भन्, ‘जब म आफ्नो तरवारलाई कुनै देशको विरुद्धमा उठाउँछु, तब त्यस देशका मानिसहरूले आफूमध्ये एक जनालाई लिन्‍छन् र उसलाई आफ्‍ना रक्षक बनाउँछन् ।
3 When he saw the army advancing to attack the country, he would blow the trumpet to warn everyone.
त्यसले देशमा तरवार आउँदा त्‍यसलाई हेर्छ, र मानिसहरूलाई सजग गराउन आफ्नो तुरही फुक्छ!
4 So if you hear the trumpet but don't pay attention to the warning, and you're killed in the attack, you will be responsible for your own death.
मानिसहरूले तुरहीको आवाज सुने तर पनि ध्यान दिंदैनन्, र तरवार आउँछ र तिनीहरूलाई मार्छ भने, ती प्रत्‍येकको रगत आफ्‍नै शिरमा पर्नेछ ।
5 Since you heard the trumpet but didn't pay attention to the warning, then you will be responsible for your own death. If you had paid attention the warning, you could have saved your life.
कसैले तुरहीको आवाज सुन्‍छ र ध्यान दिंदैन भने, त्यसको रगतको जिम्मेवार त्यो आफै हुनेछ । तर त्यसले ध्यान दिन्छ भने त्यसले आफ्नो ज्यान बचाउनेछ ।
6 But if the watchman saw the attack coming and didn't blow the trumpet to warn everyone, and someone is killed, then that person will die in their sins, but I will hold the watchman responsible for their death.
तर त्यो रक्षकले तरवार आउँदै गरेको देख्‍छ, तर त्‍यसले तुरही फुक्‍दैन, जसको कारणले मानिसहरूलाई सजग पारिंदैन, र तरवार आउँछ र कसैको जीवन लिन्‍छ भने, त्यो मानिस आफ्नै पापमा मर्छ, तर त्यसको रगतको सटो म त्‍यो रक्षकबाट लिनेछु ।’
7 Son of man, I have appointed you as a watchman for the people of Israel. Listen to what I tell you and warn them for me.
अब, ए मानिसको छोरा, मैले तँलाई नै इस्राएलको घरानाको निम्‍ति रक्षक बनाएको छु । तैंले मेरो मुखबाट वचन सुन्‍नेछस् र तिनीहरूलाई मेरो तर्फबाट चेतावनी दिनेछस् ।
8 If I tell the wicked ‘You're wicked; you're going to die’; but you don't warn them to change what they're doing, then they'll die in their sins and I will hold your responsible for their deaths.
मैले दुष्‍ट मानिसलाई भनें ‘ए दुष्‍ट मानिस, तँ निश्‍चय नै मर्नेछस् ।’ तर त्यो दुष्‍ट मानिसलाई सजग गराउनलाई त्यसको चालको बारेमा तैंले त्यसलाई भनिनस् भने, त्यो दुष्‍ट मानिस आफ्नो पापमा मर्नेछ, तर त्यसको रगतको साटो म तँबाट लिनेछु ।
9 But if you warn the wicked to change what they're doing, and they don't, they will die in their sins, but you will save your own life.
तर तैंले त्यो दुष्‍ट मानिस उसको दुष्‍ट चालको बारेमा बनिस् ताकि त्‍यसबाट त्‍यो फर्किन सकोस्, र त्यो आफ्नो चालबाट फर्केन भने, त्यो आफ्नो पापमा मर्नेछ, तर तँ आफूले आफ्नो प्राण बचाउनेछस् ।
10 Son of man, tell the people of Israel that this is what they've been saying, ‘We recognize our sins and wrongs, and they weigh on us, wearing us out. How can we go on living?’
यसैले, ए मानिसको छोरो, इस्राएलको घरानालाई भन्, ‘तिमीहरू यसो भन्छौ, “हाम्रा अपराधहरू र पापहरू हामीमाथि आएका छन्, र हामी तीनमा सडिरहेका छौं! हामी कसरी बाँच्‍न सक्छौं?”’
11 Tell them: As I live, declares the Lord God, it brings me no pleasure when wicked people die. I wish they would stop sinning and live! Stop! Stop sinning! Why should you die, people of Israel?
तिनीहरूलाई भन्, ‘यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो, म जिउँदो भएको हुनाले, म दुष्‍टहरूको मृत्युमा प्रसन्‍न हुन्‍नँ, किनकि दुष्‍टले आफ्नो चालबाट पश्‍चात्ताप गरी फर्कन्छ भने त्यो बाँच्ने छ! पश्‍चात्ताप गर् । तेरा दुष्‍ट चालबाट पश्‍चात्ताप गर् । ए इस्राएलको घराना तँ किन मर्ने?’
12 So, son of man, tell your people: All the good things a good person has done won't save them when they sin; while the bad things a bad person has done won't be a problem for them if they stop sinning. But good people won't live if they start sinning.
यसैले, ए मानिसको छोरा, तेरा मानिसहरूलाई भन्, ‘धर्मी मानिसले पाप गर्छ भने त्यसको धार्मिकताले त्यसलाई बचाउनेछैन! दुष्‍ट मानिसले आफ्नो पापबाट पश्‍चात्ताप गर्छ भने त्यसको दुष्‍टताले त्यो नष्‍ट हुनेछैन! किन धर्मी मानिसले पाप गर्छ भने त्यो आफ्नो धार्मिकताको कारणले बच्नेछैन ।
13 If I tell a good person that they will live and then they rely on their goodness and start sinning, then none of the good things they did will be remembered; he will die because of the sins.
मैले धर्मीलाई यसो भनें, “त्‍यो निश्‍चय नै बाँच्नेछस्!” र त्यसले आफ्नो धार्मिकतामा विश्‍वास गरेर अन्याय गर्छ भने, त्यसको कुनै पनि धार्मिकतालाई म सम्झना गर्नेछैनँ । त्यसले गरेको दुष्‍टताको कारणले त्यो मर्नेछ ।
14 But if I tell a bad person, ‘You're going to die’ and they stop sinning and do what is good and right,
यसैले मैले दुष्‍टलाई यसो भनें, “तँ निश्‍चय नै मर्नेछस्”, तर त्‍तसपछि त्यसले आफ्नो पापको पश्‍चात्ताप गर्छ र न्यायपूर्ण र ठिक काम गर्छ भने,
15 if they return security given for a loan, pay back what they've stolen, and follows my laws about how to live, not doing wrong—then they will live; they won't die.
र त्यसले ऋणको निम्ति आफूले दुष्‍टतापूर्वक राखेको धितो फिर्ता गर्छ, वा त्यसले चोरेको कुरालाई फिर्ता गर्छ, र जीवन दिने विधिहरू पालना गर्छ र फेरि पाप गर्दैन भने, तब त्यो निश्‍चय नै जिउनेछ । त्यो मर्नेछैन ।
16 None of their sins will be remembered; they have done what is good and right and so they will live.
त्यसले गरेका कुनै पनि पापको सम्झना हुनेछैन । त्यसले न्यायपूर्ण र धार्मिक रूपमा काम गरेको छ र यसैले त्यो निश्‍चय नै जिउनेछ ।
17 However, your people are complaining, ‘What the Lord does isn't right.’ But it's what they're doing that isn't right.
तर तेरा मानिसहरू भन्छन्, “परमप्रभुको चाल न्यायपूर्ण छैन!” तर तिमीहरूका चाल पो न्यायपूर्ण छैनन्!
18 If a good person stops doing good and sins, they will die because of it.
जब कुनै धर्मी मानिस आफ्नो धार्मिकताबाट तर्केर पाप गर्छ, तब त्यो त्यही पापमा मर्नेछ!
19 On the other hand, if a bad person turns from their sins and they do what is good and right, they will live as a result.
जब कुनै दुष्‍ट मानिस आफ्नो दुष्‍टताबाट फर्केर न्यायपूर्ण र धर्मी काम गर्छ भने, यी कुराहरूका कारणले त्यो जिउनेछ!
20 So how can you say, ‘What the Lord does isn't right’? Well, I'm going to judge each of you depending on what you've done, people of Israel.”
तर तिमीहरू भन्छौ, “परमप्रभुको चाल न्यायपूर्ण छैन!” ए इस्राएलको घराना, म तिमीहरूको चालअनुसार नै हरेकको न्याय गर्नेछु!’”
21 On the fifth day of the tenth month of the twelfth year of our exile, a refugee who'd escaped from Jerusalem arrived and told me, “The city has been captured!”
हाम्रो निर्वासनको बाह्रौं वर्षको दशौं महिनाको पाँचौं दिनमा, यरूशलेमबाट एक जना भगुवा मकहाँ आयो र भन्यो, “त्यो सहरलाई कब्जा गरिएको छ!”
22 The previous evening before the messenger arrived the Lord had touched me so I could speak again. This was before the man came to see me in the morning. I wasn't mute any longer—I could speak again.
त्यो भगुवा आउनभन्दा अगिल्‍लो साँझमा परमप्रभुको हात ममाथि थियो, र बिहानीको झिसमिसेमा त्यो मकहाँ आउँदासम्म मेरो मुख खोलिएको थियो । यसैले मेरो मुख खोलियो । म फेरि चुप भइनँ!
23 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
24 “Son of man, people living among the ruins in Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was only one man, but the country was given to him to own. There's plenty of us, so the country should belong to us.’
“ए मानिसको छोरो, इस्राएलको भूमिमा भग्‍नावशेषमा बसोबास गर्नेहरू यसो भन्दैछन्, ‘अब्राहम मात्र एक जना मानिस थिए, र उनले यो देश अधिकार गरे, तर हामीहरू धेरै जना छौं! यो देश हामीलाई सम्पत्तिको रूपमा दिइएको छ ।’
25 So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: You eat meat with the blood still in it. You go and worship your idols. You commit murder. Do you really think the country should belong to you?
यसकारण तिनीहरूलाई भन्, ‘परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: तिमीहरू रगत खान्छौ, र तिमीहरू आफ्ना मुर्तिहरूतिर आफ्ना आँखा उठाउँछौ, अनि तिमीहरू मानिसहरूका रगत बगाउँछौ । के तिमीहरूले यस देशमाथि अधिकार गर्ने?
26 You rely on your swords to get your way. You have done some disgusting things. You're all having sex with each other's wives. Should the country belong to you?
तिमीहरू आफ्ना तरवारहरूमा भर परेका छौ र घिनलाग्दा कुरा गरेका छौ । हरेक मानिसले आफ्नो छिमेकीकी पत्‍नीलाई अशुद्ध पार्छ । के साँच्‍चै तिमीहरूले यस देशमाथि अधिकार गर्ने?’
27 Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: As I live, in the people living among the ruins will be killed by the sword. Those living in the countryside will be eaten by wild animals. Those living in the fortresses and caves will die from disease.
तैंले तिनीहरूलाई यस्तो भन्‍नू, ‘परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: जस्‍तो म जीवित छु, भग्‍नावशेषमा जिउनेहरू तरवारद्वारा मारिनेछन्, र मैदानमा भएकाहरूलाई म जीवित पशुहरूकहाँ आहराको रूपमा दिनेछु, र किल्लाहरू र गुफाहरूमा भएकाहरू महामारीले मर्नेछन् ।
28 I will turn the country into a wasteland, and power you are so proud of will be ended. The mountains of Israel will become wild places that no one will want to travel through.
तब देशलाई म उजाड र त्रास तुल्याउनेछु, र त्यसको शक्तिको घमण्डको अन्त्य हुनेछ, किनकि इस्राएलका पर्वतहरू त्यागिनेछन्, र त्यहाँबाट भएर कोही पनि जानेछैन ।’
29 Then the people will acknowledge that I am the Lord, when I have turned the country into a wasteland because of all the disgusting things they have done.
यसैले तिनीहरूले गरेका सबै घृणित कामका कारणले मैले देशलाई उजाड र बेकामको तुल्याएपछि तिनीहरूले म परमप्रभु हुँ भन्‍ने जान्‍नेछन् ।
30 Son of man, your people are talking about you out in the streets and in the doorways of their houses. They encourage one another, saying, ‘Come on! Let's go and hear a message from the Lord!’
यसैले, ए मानिसको छोरा, मन्‍दिरहरूका पर्खालहरू र ढोकाहरूका छेउमा तेरा मानिसहरू तेरो बारेमा कुरा गरिरहेका छन्, र हेरकले अर्को मानिस, र हरेक मानिसले आफ्नो भाइलाई यस्तो भन्छ, ‘जाऔं र परमप्रभुको मुखबाट निस्कने अगमवक्ताको वचन सुनौं!’
31 So my people come and visit you like they usually do. They sit and listen to the message you share, but they don't do anything about it. Even though they talk about love, all they're thinking about is how to cheat others.
यसैले मानिसहरूले सधैं गरेझैं धेरै जना तँकहाँ आउनेछन्, र तेरो अगि बस्‍नेछन् र तेरा वचनहरू सुन्‍नेछन्, तर तिनीहरूले ती पालना गर्नेछैनन् । तिनीहरूका मुखमा ठिक शब्दहरू छन्, तर तिनीहरूका हृदयहरू अन्यायपूर्ण फाइदाको पछि छन् ।
32 In fact, to them you're just someone who sings love songs with a lovely voice and who is a fine musician. They listen to the message you share, but they don't do anything about it.
किनकि तिनीहरूका निम्ति तँ मनपर्ने गीत, र बाजामा बजाइएको एउटा सुन्दर धुनझैं छस्, यसैले तिनीहरूका तेरा वचन सुन्‍नेछन्, तर तिनीहरू कसैले पनि ती पालना गर्नेछैनन् ।
33 So when what you say does happen (and it will), then they will realize that they did have a prophet among them.”
यसैकारण यी सबै कुरा हुँदा – हेर, त्यो हुन आउनेछ – तब तिनीहरूका बिचमा एउटा अगमवक्ता रहेछन् भनी तिनीहरूले जान्‍नेछन् ।”
