< Jezekiel 33 >

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
तब परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
2 Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and you shall say to them, On whatever land I shall bring a sword, and the people of the land take one man of them, and set him for 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 and he shall see the sword coming upon the land, and blow the trumpet, and sound an alarm to the people;
त्यसले देशमा तरवार आउँदा त्‍यसलाई हेर्छ, र मानिसहरूलाई सजग गराउन आफ्नो तुरही फुक्छ!
4 and he that hears the sound of the trumpet shall hear [indeed], and [yet] not take heed, and the sword shall come upon him, and overtake him, his blood shall be upon his [own] head.
मानिसहरूले तुरहीको आवाज सुने तर पनि ध्यान दिंदैनन्, र तरवार आउँछ र तिनीहरूलाई मार्छ भने, ती प्रत्‍येकको रगत आफ्‍नै शिरमा पर्नेछ ।
5 Because he heard the sound of the trumpet, and took no heed, his blood shall be upon him: but the other, because he took heed, has delivered his soul.
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 see the sword coming, and do not sound the trumpet, and the people do not watch; and the sword come, and take a soul from among them, that [soul] is taken because of its iniquity; but the blood [thereof] will I require at the watchman's hand.
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 And you, son of man, I have set you [as] a watchman to the house of Israel, and you shall hear a word from my mouth.
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 When I say to the sinner, You shall surely die; [if] you speak not to warn the wicked from his way, the wicked himself shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
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 forewarn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he turn not from his way, he shall die in his ungodliness; but you have delivered your own soul.
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 And you, son of man, say to the house of Israel; Thus have you spoken, saying, Our errors, and our iniquities weigh upon us, and we pine away in them, and how then shall we live?
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 Say to them, Thus says the Lord; [As] I live, I desire not the death of the ungodly, as that the ungodly should turn from his way and live: turn you heartily from your way; for why will you die, O house 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 Say to the children of your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him, in the day wherein he errs: and the iniquity of the ungodly shall not harm him, in the day wherein he turns from his iniquity, but the righteous [erring] shall not be able to deliver himself.
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 When I say to the righteous, [You shall live; and] he trusts in his righteousness, and shall commit iniquity, none of his righteousnesses shall be remembered; in his unrighteousness which he has wrought, in it shall he die.
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 And when I say to the ungodly, You shall surely die; and he shall turn from his sin, and do judgment and justice,
यसैले मैले दुष्‍टलाई यसो भनें, “तँ निश्‍चय नै मर्नेछस्”, तर त्‍तसपछि त्यसले आफ्नो पापको पश्‍चात्ताप गर्छ र न्यायपूर्ण र ठिक काम गर्छ भने,
15 and return the pledge, and repay that which he has robbed, [and] walk in the ordinances of life, so as to do no wrong; he shall surely live, and shall not 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 his sins which he has committed shall be remembered: because he has wrought judgment and righteousness; by them shall he live.
त्यसले गरेका कुनै पनि पापको सम्झना हुनेछैन । त्यसले न्यायपूर्ण र धार्मिक रूपमा काम गरेको छ र यसैले त्यो निश्‍चय नै जिउनेछ ।
17 Yet the children of your people will say, The way of the Lord is not straight: whereas this their way is not straight.
तर तेरा मानिसहरू भन्छन्, “परमप्रभुको चाल न्यायपूर्ण छैन!” तर तिमीहरूका चाल पो न्यायपूर्ण छैनन्!
18 When the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and shall commit iniquities, then shall he die in them.
जब कुनै धर्मी मानिस आफ्नो धार्मिकताबाट तर्केर पाप गर्छ, तब त्यो त्यही पापमा मर्नेछ!
19 And when the sinner turns from his iniquity, and shall do judgment and righteousness, he shall live by them.
जब कुनै दुष्‍ट मानिस आफ्नो दुष्‍टताबाट फर्केर न्यायपूर्ण र धर्मी काम गर्छ भने, यी कुराहरूका कारणले त्यो जिउनेछ!
20 And this is that which you said, The way of the Lord is [not] straight. I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one for his ways.
तर तिमीहरू भन्छौ, “परमप्रभुको चाल न्यायपूर्ण छैन!” ए इस्राएलको घराना, म तिमीहरूको चालअनुसार नै हरेकको न्याय गर्नेछु!’”
21 And it came to pass in the tenth year of our captivity, in the twelfth month, on the fifth [day] of the month, [that] one that had escaped from Jerusalem came to me, saying, The city is taken.
हाम्रो निर्वासनको बाह्रौं वर्षको दशौं महिनाको पाँचौं दिनमा, यरूशलेमबाट एक जना भगुवा मकहाँ आयो र भन्यो, “त्यो सहरलाई कब्जा गरिएको छ!”
22 Now the hand of the Lord had come upon me in the evening, before he came; and he opened my mouth, when he came to me in the morning: and my mouth was open, it was no longer kept closed.
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 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
24 Son of man, they that inhabit the desolate [places] on the land of Israel say, Abram was one, and he possessed the land: and we are more numerous; to us the land is given for a possession.
“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 ।’
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?
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 Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord God, [As] I live, surely they that are in the desolate places shall fall by swords and they that are in the open plain shall be given for food to the wild beasts of the field, and them that are in the fortified [cities] and them that are in the caves I will kill with pestilence.
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 And I will make the land desert, and the pride of her strength shall perish; and the mountains of Israel shall be made desolate by reason of no man passing 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 And they shall know that I am the Lord; and I will make their land desert, and it shall be made desolate because of all their abominations which they have wrought.
यसैले तिनीहरूले गरेका सबै घृणित कामका कारणले मैले देशलाई उजाड र बेकामको तुल्याएपछि तिनीहरूले म परमप्रभु हुँ भन्‍ने जान्‍नेछन् ।
30 And [as for] you, son of man, the children of your people are they that speak concerning you by the walls, and in the porches of the houses, and they talk one to another, saying, Let us come together, and let us hear the [words] that proceed 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 They approach you as a people comes together, and sit before you, and hear your words, but they will not do them: for [there is] falsehood in their mouth, and their heart [goes] after their pollutions.
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 And you are to them as a sound of a sweet, well-tuned lute, and they will hear your words, but they will not do them.
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 But whenever it shall come [to pass], they will say, Behold, it is come: and they shall know that there was a prophet in the midst of them.
यसैकारण यी सबै कुरा हुँदा – हेर, त्यो हुन आउनेछ – तब तिनीहरूका बिचमा एउटा अगमवक्ता रहेछन् भनी तिनीहरूले जान्‍नेछन् ।”
