Hosea 4
1 Hear the word of the LORD, all of you children of Israel: for the LORD has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
ए इस्राएलका मानिस हो, परमप्रभुको वचन सुन । यस देशका वासिन्दाहरूको विरुद्धमा परमप्रभुको एउटा मुद्धा छ, किनभने देशमा सत्यता, करारको विश्वस्तता, परमप्रभुको ज्ञान छैन ।
2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood touches blood.
त्यहाँ सराप, झुटो बोली, हत्या, चोरी र व्यभिचार छ । मानिसहरूले सबै सीमा तोडेका छन्, र रगत बगेपछि रगत बगेको छ ।
3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwells therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
यसैले त्यो देश सुख्खा हुँदैछ, र त्यहाँ बसोबास गर्ने सबै खेर जाँदैछन् । मैदानका पशुहरू, आकाशका चराहरू, र समुद्र भएका माछासमेत मारिंदैछन् ।
4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for your people are as they that strive with the priest.
तर कसैलाई मुद्धा ल्याउन नदेओ । कसैले कसैलाई पनि दोष नलगाओस् । किनकि मैले दोष लगाइरहेको तिमी, पुजारीहरूलाई नै हो ।
5 Therefore shall you fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with you in the night, and I will destroy your mother.
तिमी पुजारीहरू दिनमा ठेस खानेछौ । तिमीहरूसँगै अगमवक्ताहरू पनि रातमा ठेस खानेछन्, र तिमीहरूकी आमालाई म नष्ट गर्नेछु ।
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall be no priest to me: seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.
मेरा मानिसहरू ज्ञानको कमिले गर्दा नष्ट भइरहेका छन् । तिमी पुजारीहरूले ज्ञानलाई इन्कार गरेको कारणले, तिमीहरूलाई मेरो पुजारी हुनबाट म पनि इन्कार गर्नेछु ।तिमीहरूले मेरो व्यवस्थालाई बिर्सेका कारणले, म तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर भए पनि म तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीलाई बिर्सनेछु ।
7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
पुजारीहरूका सङ्ख्या जति धैरै वृद्धि भयो, त्यति नै धेरै तिनीहरूले मेरो विरूद्धमा पाप गरे । आफ्नो आदरलाई तिनीहरूले लाजसँग साटे ।
8 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
मेरा मानिसहरूको पापमा तिनीहरू पोसिन्छन्, र उनीहरूले धेरै दुष्टता गरून् भन्ने तिनीहरूको इच्छा हुन्छ ।
9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
पुजारीहरूलाई जस्तो गरियो मानिसहरूलाई त्यस्तै गरिनेछः तिनीहरूका अभ्यासहरूका निम्ति म तिनीहरू सबैलाई दण्ड दिनेछु, तिनीहरूका कामहरूको बदला म तिनीहरूलाई दिनेछु ।
10 For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.
तिनीहरूले खानेछन् तर तिनीहरूसँग येथेष्ट हुनेछैन, तिनीहरूले वेश्यागमन गर्नेछन् तर वृद्धि हुनेछैन, किनभने तिनीहरू परमप्रभुबाट धेरै टाढा गएका छन् ।
11 Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.
तिनीहरूलाई यौनको छाडापन, दाखमद्य र नयाँ मद्य मन पर्छ, जसले तिनीहरूका समझलाई नाश पारेका छन् ।
12 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declares unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms has caused them to go astray, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.
मेरा मानिसहरूले काठका मूर्तिहरूसँग सल्लाह लिन्छन्, र तिनीहरूका लौरोले तिनीहरूलाई अगमवाणीहरू दिन्छन् । किनभने यौनको छाडापनको विचारले तिनीहरूलाई भ्रममा पारेको छ, र आफ्ना परमेश्वरमा विश्वसयोग्य हुन छोडेर वेश्याहरूले जस्तो व्यवहार तिनीहरूले गरेका छन् ।
13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
पर्वतका टाकुराहरूमा तिनीहरूले बलि चढाउँछन् र पहाडहरूमा, फलाँट, लहरे-पीपल र तारपीनका फेदमा धूप बाल्छन्, किनभने छाया शितल हुन्छ । यसैले तिमीहरूका छोरीहरूले यौनका अनैतिक काम गर्छन्, अनि तिमीहरूका बुहारीहरूले व्यभिचार गर्छन् ।
14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that does not understand shall fall.
तिमीहरूका छोरीहरूले यौनका अनैतिक काम गर्दा म तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनेछैन, न त तिमीहरूका बुहारीहरूले व्यभिचार गर्दा तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनेछु । किनकि पुरुषहरूले पनि आफैंलाई वेश्याहरूकहाँ दिन्छन्, र पवित्र वेश्याहरूसँग तिनीहरूले अनैतिक काम गर्न सकून् भनेर तिनीहरू बलिदानहरू चढाउँछन् । यी मानिसहरू जसले बुझ्दैनन्, तिनीहरू तल फालिनेछन् ।
15 Though you, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not all of you unto Gilgal, neither go all of you up to Bethaven, nor swear, The LORD lives.
तँ इस्राएलले व्यभिचार गरेको भए पनि, यहूदाचाहिं दोषी नहोस् । ए मानिस हो, तिमीहरू गिलगालमा नजाओ माथि बेथ-आवनमा नजाओ, र “परमप्रभु जिउँदो हुनुभएझैं” भनेर शपथ नखाओ ।
16 For Israel slides back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
किनकि एउटी अटेरी साँडी-गाईले झैं इस्राएलले अटेरी भएर व्यवहार गरेको छ । भेडाहरूलाई घाँसे-मैदानमा लगेझैं परमप्रभुले कसरी तिनीहरूलाई खर्कमा लान सक्नुहुन्छ?
17 Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.
एफ्राइमले आफूलाई मूर्तिहरूसँग मिलाएको छ । त्यसलाई वास्तै नगर ।
18 Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give all of you.
तिनीहरूका कडा दाखमद्यले छोड्दा पनि, तिनीहरू निरन्तर व्यभिचारमा गर्छन् । र त्यसको शासकहरूले आफ्नो लज्जास्पद कुरालाई ज्यादै मन पराउँछन् ।
19 The wind has bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
हावाले त्यसलाई आफ्ना पखेटामा बेर्नेछ, र आफ्ना बलिदानहरूका कारणले तिनीहरू शर्ममा पर्नेछन् ।
