< Ezekiel 17 >

1 And the worde of the Lord came vnto mee, saying,
परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
2 Sonne of man, put foorth a parable and speake a prouerbe vnto the house of Israel,
“ए मानिसको छोरो, इस्राएलका घरानालाई एउटा उखान भन् र एउटा दृष्‍टान्‍त प्रस्‍तुत गर् ।
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God, The great eagle with great wings, and long wings, and ful of fethers, which had diuers colours, came vnto Lebanon, and tooke the highest branch of the cedar,
यसो भन्, 'परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः ठुला पखेटा र धैरै रङ्का लामा सुन्‍दर प्‍वाँखहरू भएको एउटा ठुलो चील उडेर लेबनानमा आयो, र देवदारुको टुप्‍पामा बस्‍यो ।
4 And brake off the toppe of his twigge, and caried it into the land of marchants, and set it in a citie of marchants.
त्‍यसले हाँगाहरूका टुप्‍पाहरू भाँच्‍यो र ती कनान देशमा लिएर गयो । त्‍यसले त्‍यो व्यापारीहरूका एउटा सहरमा रोप्‍यो ।
5 Hee tooke also of the seede of the lande, and planted it in a fruitfull ground: hee placed it by great waters, and set it as a willowe tree.
त्‍यसले देशको केही बिउ लग्‍यो र ती मलिलो जमिनमा रोप्‍यो । त्‍यसले बैंसको बोटजस्‍तै प्रशस्‍त पानी भएको ठाउँमा त्‍यो रोप्‍यो ।
6 And it budded vp, and was like a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward it, and the rootes thereof were vnder it: so it became a vine, and it brought foorth branches, and shot foorth buds.
तब त्‍यो उम्‍य्रो र जमिनमा झुकेर फैलिएको दाखको बोटजस्‍तो भयो । त्‍यसका हाँगाहरू ऊतिर फर्किए र त्‍यसका जराहरूचाहिं भित्रै बढे । यसरी त्‍यो एउटा दाखको बटो भयो र त्‍यसका हाँगाहरू र मुनाहरू पलाए ।
7 There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers, and beholde, this vine did turne her rootes toward it, and spred foorth her branches toward it, that she might water it by the trenches of her plantation.
तर त्यहाँ ठुला पखेटा र धेरै प्‍वाखले भएको अर्को एउटा ठुलो चील थियो । हेर, त्‍यस दाखको बोटले आफू रोपिएको ठाउँबाट आफ्‍ना जराहरू त्‍यो चीलतिर फर्कायो र आफ्‍ना हाँगाहरू त्‍यही चीलतिर नै फैलायो, यसरी त्‍यसले पानी पाउन सकोस् ।
8 It was planted in a good soyle by great waters, that it should bring forth branches, and beare fruite, and be an excellent vine.
प्रशस्‍त पानीको छेउमा एउटा राम्रो जमिनमा त्‍यो लगाइएको थियो, जसले गर्दा एउटा शानदार दाखको बोट हुनलाई त्‍यसमा हाँगाहरू पलाओस्, फलहरू पलोस् ।’
9 Say thou, Thus saith the Lord God, Shall it prosper? shall he not pull vp the rootes thereof, and destroy the fruite thereof, and cause them to drie? all the leaues of her bud shall wither without great power, or many people, to plucke it vp by the rootes thereof.
मानिसहरूलाई भन्, 'परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः के त्‍यो सप्रला त? के त्‍यो जरैसमेत उखेलिंदैन र त्‍यसका फलहरू टिपिंदैनन्, र त्‍यो ओइलाउनेछैन र? त्‍यसलाई जरैसमेत उखेल्‍नलाई बलियो हात वा धेरै मानिसहरू आवश्‍यक हुनेछैन्‌ ।
10 Beholde, it was planted: but shall it prosper? shall it not be dried vp, and wither? when the East winde shall touch it, it shall wither in the trenches, where it grewe.
यसैले हेर्, त्‍यसलाई रोपेपछि के त्‍यो बढ्छ र? पूर्वीय बतासले त्‍यसलाई हानेपछि के त्‍यो ओइलाउँदैन र? त्‍यो उम्रेकै बगैंचाको जमिनमा त्यो पूर्ण रूपमा सुक्छ' ।”
11 Moreouer, the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
तब परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
12 Say now to this rebellious house, Know ye not, what these things meane? tell them, Behold, the King of Babel is come to Ierusalem, and hath taken the King thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babel,
“विद्रोही घरानालाई भन्, 'यी कुराको अर्थ के हुन्‍छ भनी तिमीहरू जान्‍दैनौ? बेबिलोनको राजा यरूशलेममा आयो, र त्‍यसका राजा र शासकहरूलाई लियो र तिनीहरूलाई आफूसँग बेबिलोनमा लग्‍यो ।
13 And hath taken one of the Kings seede, and made a couenant with him, and hath taken an othe of him: he hath also taken the princes of the land,
तब त्‍यसले राजकीय वंशमध्‍येको एक जनालाई लियो, ऊसित एउटा करार गर्‍यो र उसलाई शपथले बाँध्यो । उसले देशका शक्तिशाली मानिसहरूलाई लग्‍यो,
14 That the kingdome might be in subiection, and not lift it selfe vp, but keepe their couenant, and stand to it.
यसरी त्‍यो राज्‍य निर्बल रहोस्‌ र फेरि खडा हुन नसकोस् । उसको करार पालन गरेर देश रहन सकोस्‌ ।
15 But he rebelled against him, and sent his ambassadours into Egypt, that they might giue him horses, and much people: shall hee prosper? shall he escape, that doeth such things? or shall he breake the couenant, and be deliuered?
तर मिश्रदेशबाट घोडाहरू र फौज झिकाउनलाई यरूशलेमका राजाले उसको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गरेर मिश्रदेशमा आफ्‍ना राजदूतहरू पठायो । के त्‍यो सफल हुनेछ र? के यस्‍ता कुराहरू गर्ने मानिस उम्‍कन सक्‍छ र? करार भङ्ग गरेपछि पनि के त्‍यो उम्‍कन सक्‍छ र?
16 As I liue, saith the Lord God, he shall die in the middes of Babel, in the place of the King, that had made him King, whose othe he despised, and whose couenant made with him, he brake.
जस्‍तो म जीवित छु— यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो— उसलाई राजा बनाउने राजाको देशमा नै ऊ मर्नेछ, जुन राजाको शपथलाई उसले तुच्‍छ ठान्‍यो र जसको करारलाई उसले भङ्ग गर्‍यो । बेबिलोनको बिचमा ऊ मर्नेछ ।
17 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mightie hoste, and great multitude of people, mainteine him in the warre, when they haue cast vp mounts, and builded ramparts to destroy many persons.
फारोले आफ्ना शक्तिशाली फौज र ठुलो दलको साथमा लडाइँमा उसलाई सहायता गर्नेछैन । त्‍यति बेला धेरै जना मानिसलाई नाश गर्न ठुला घेरा-मचान तयार गरिन्‍छन्‌ र घेरा हाल्‍नलाई पर्खालहरू बनाइन्‍छन्‌ ।
18 For he hath despised the othe, and broken ye couenant (yet lo, he had giuen his hand) because he hath done all these things, he shall not escape.
किनकि त्‍यो राजाले करार भङ्ग गरेर उसको शपथलाई अपमान गर्‍यो । हेर, उसले प्रतिज्ञा गर्नको निम्ति आफ्‍नो हात पसार्‍यो तापनि उसले यी कामहरू गर्‍यो । ऊ उम्कनेछैन ।
19 Therefore, thus sayth the Lord God, As I liue, I wil surely bring mine othe that he hath despised, and my couenant that he hath broken vpon his owne head.
यसैकारण परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः जस्‍तो म जीवित छु, मेरो शपथलाई उसले अपमान गरेको र मेरो करारलाई उसले भङ्ग गरेको होइन र? त्यसैले उसको दण्ड म उसकै शिरमा खन्‍याइदिनेछु ।
20 And I wil spread my net vpon him, and he shalbe taken in my net, and I wil bring him to Babel, and will enter into iudgement with him there for his trespas that he hath committed against me.
म आफ्‍नो जाल त्‍यसमाथि फिंजाउनेछु र मेरो शिकारी जालमा ऊ पर्नेछ । तब म उसलाई बेबिलोनमा लानेछु, र उसले मलाई धोका दिंदा उसले मप्रति गरेको विद्रोहको निम्‍ति म उसको न्‍याय गर्नेछु ।
21 And all that flee from him with all his hoste, shall fall by the sword, and they that remaine, shalbe scattered towarde all the windes: and ye shall know that I the Lord haue spoken it.
उसका शरणार्थी फौज सबै तरवारले मारिनेछन्, र बाँचेकाहरू चारैतिर तितरबितर हुनेछन्‌ । तब म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी तैंले जान्‍नेछस् । यो हुनेछ भनी मैले घोषणा गरेको हुँ ।
22 Thus saith the Lord God, I wil also take off the top of this hie cedar, and wil set it, and cut off the top of the tender plant thereof, and I wil plant it vpon an hie mountaine and great.
परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छ, 'यसैले त्‍यो देवदारुको सबैभन्‍दा टुप्‍पाको भाग म नै लिएर जानेछु, र म त्यसलाई त्यसका कोमल हाँगादेखि टाढा रोप्‍नेछु । त्यसलाई म भाँच्नेछु र त्यसलाई एउटा उच्‍च पर्वतमा रोप्‍नेछु ।
23 Euen in the hie mountaine of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughes and beare fruite, and be an excellent cedar, and vnder it shall remaine all birds, and euery foule shall dwell in the shadow of the branches thereof.
त्यसलाई इस्राएलको पर्वतहरूमा रोप्‍नेछु, ताकि त्‍यसमा हाँगाहरू पलाउनेछन् र फल फलाउनेछ, र त्‍यो एउटा सुन्‍दर देवदारु होस् ताकि पखेटा भएका हरेक चरा त्योमुनि बस्‍न सकोस् । त्यसका हाँगाहरूका छायामा तिनीहरूले गुँड लागाउन सकून् ।
24 And all the trees of the fielde shall knowe that I the Lord haue brought downe the hie tree, and exalted the lowe tree, that I haue dried vp the greene tree, and made the drie tree to florish: I the Lord haue spoken it, and haue done it.
तब मैदानका सबै रूखले म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी जान्‍नेछन् । म अग्‍लो रूखलाई होचो बनाउनेछु, र होचो रूखलाई अल्‍गो बनाउनेछु । पानी पाएको रूखलाई म सुकाइदिन्छु र सुकेको रूखलाई म हरियो बनाउँछु । म परमप्रभु हुँ । मैले नै यो कुरा हुनेछ भनी घोषणा गरेको छु । अनि मैले यो गरेको छु ।
