< Joel 3 >

1 For, behold, in those days and at that time, when I shall have turned the captivity of Juda and Jerusalem,
हेर, ती दिनमा र त्‍यो समयमा, यहूदा र यरूशलेमका निर्वासितहरूलाई मैले फर्काउँदा,
2 I will also gather all the Gentiles, and bring them down to the valley of Josaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and my heritage Israel, who have been dispersed among the Gentiles; and [these Gentiles] have divided my land,
सबै जातिहरूलाई म भेला गर्नेछु, र तिनीहरूलाई यहोशापातको बेंसीमा तल लैजानेछु । मेरा मानिसहरू र मेरो उत्तराधिकार इस्राएलको कारणले, जसलाई तिनीहरूले जातिहरूका बिचमा छरपष्‍ट पारेको, र मेरो देशलाई तिनीहरूले भाग-भागको पारेको कारणले, त्यहाँ म तिनीहरुको न्‍याय गर्नेछु ।
3 and cast lots over my people, and have given [their] boys to harlots, and sold [their] girls for wine, and have drunk.
तिनीहरूले मेरा मानिसहरूका निम्ति चिट्‍ठा हाले, एउटी वेश्‍या पाउनलाई केटालाई बेचे, र दाखमद्य पिउनलाई केटीलाई बेचे, यसरी तिनीहरूले जाँड-रक्‍सी पिए ।
4 And what have you to do with me, O Tyre, and Sidon, and all Galilee of the Gentiles? do you render me a recompense? or do you bear malice against me? quickly and speedily will I return your recompense on your own heads:
अब, टुरोस, सीदोन र पलिश्‍तीका सबै क्षेत्रहरू, तिमीहरू किन मसँग रिसाउँछौ? के तिमीहरूले मलाई बदला लिन सक्छौ? तिमीहरूले मलाई बदला लियौ भने पनि, तिमीहरूको बदलालाई म तुरुन्तै तिमीहरूकै थाप्‍लोमा फर्काउनेछु ।
5 because you have taken my silver and my gold, and you have brought my choice ornaments into your temples;
किनकि तिमीहरूले मेरो चाँदी र सुन लग्‍यौ, र मेरा बहुमुल्य धनसम्पत्ति तिमीहरूले आफ्ना मन्दिरहरूमा लग्‍यौ ।
6 and you have sold the children of Juda and the children of Jerusalem to the children of the Greeks, that you might expel them from their coasts.
यहूदा र यरूशलेमका मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूका इलाकाबाट टाढा हटाउनलाई, तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई ग्रीकहरूका हातमा बेचिदियौ ।
7 Therefore, behold, I [will] raise them up out of the place whither you have sold them, and I will return your recompense on your own heads.
हेर, तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई बेचेका ठाउँबाट, म तिनीहरूलाई माथि उठाउनेछु, र तिमीहरूकै टाउकोमा त्‍यसको मुल्‍य चुकाउनेछु ।
8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Juda, and they shall sell them into captivity to a far distant nation: for the Lord has spoken [it].
यहूदाका मानिसहरूका हातद्वारा, तिमीहरूका छोराहरू र छोरीहरूलाई म बेचिदिनेछु । टाढाको जाति शबाहरूका हातमा, तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई बेच्नेछन्, किनकि परमप्रभुले बोल्‍नुभएको छ ।”
9 Proclaim these things among the Gentiles; declare war, arouse the warriors, draw near and go up, all you men of war.
जातिहरूका बिचमा यो कुरा घोषणा गर, “युद्धको निम्ति आफैंलाई तयार गर, शक्तिशाली मानिसहरूलाई जगाओ, तिनीहरूलाई नजिक आउन देओ, युद्धका सबै मानिसहरू माथि आऊन् ।
10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your sickles into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
आफ्ना फालीहरू पिटेर तरवारहरू बनाओ र छिमल्ने खुकुरीहरू पिटेर भालाहरू बनाओ । कमजोरले भनोस्, ‘म बलियो छु ।’
11 Gather yourselves together, and go in, all you nations round about, and gather yourselves there; let the timid become a warrior.
ए सबै नजिकका जातिहरू, हतार गर र आओ, आफूलाई एकसाथ त्यहाँ भेला पार । हे परमप्रभु, आफ्‍ना शक्तिशाली योद्धाहरूलाई तल ल्याउनुहोस् ।
12 Let them be aroused, let all the nations go up to the valley of Josaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the Gentiles round about.
जातिहरूले आफैंलाई जगाऊन् र यहोशापातको बेसीमा उक्‍लेर आऊन् । किनकि वरिपरिका सबै जातिको न्‍याय गर्न, म त्यहीं बस्‍नेछु ।
13 Bring forth the sickles, for the vintage is come: go in, tread [the grapes], for the press is full: cause the vats to overflow; for their wickedness is multiplied.
हँसिया बोक, किनकि फसल पाकेको छ । आओ, दाखहरूलाई पेल, किनको दाखको कोल भरिएको छ । घ्‍याम्‍पोहरू भरिएर पोखिन्‍छन्, किनकि तिनीहरूका दुष्‍टता विशाल छ ।”
14 Noises have resounded in the valley of judgment: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of judgment.
त्‍यहाँ होहल्‍ला छ, इन्साफको बेसीमा कोलाहल छ । किनकि इन्साफको बेसीमा परमप्रभुको दिन नजिकै छ ।
15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their light.
सुर्य र चन्द्रमा अन्धकार हुन्छन्, र ताराहरूले आफ्नो चमक लुकाउँछन् ।
16 And the Lord shall cry out of Sion, and shall utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heaven and the earth shall be shaken, but the Lord shall spare his people, and shall strengthen the children of Israel.
सियोनबाट परमप्रभु गर्जनुहुन्छ, र यरूशलेमबाट आफ्नो आवाज उठाउनुहुन्छ । आकाश र पृथ्‍वी थरथर काम्‍नेछन्, तर परमप्रभु आफ्‍ना मानिसहरूका निम्ति शरणस्थान, र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका निम्ति किल्‍ला हुनुहुनेछ ।
17 And you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who dwell in Sion my holy mountain: and Jerusalem shall be holy, and strangers shall not pass through her anymore.
“यसैले, परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर म नै हुँ भनी तिमीहरूले जान्‍नेछौ, म आफ्‍नो पवित्र पर्वत सियोनमा बास गर्छु । तब यरूशलेम पवित्र हुनेछ, र त्यसबाट फेरि कहिलै कुनै सेना हिंड्‍नेछैन ।
18 And it shall come to pass in that day [that] the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the fountains of Juda shall flow with water, and a fountain shall go forth of the house of the Lord, and water the valley of flags.
त्यो दिनमा यस्‍तो हुनेछ, पहाडहरूबाट मिठो दाखमद्य चुहिनेछ, डाँडाहरूबाट दूध बग्‍नेछ, यहूदाका सबै खोलाहरूमा पानी बग्‍नेछ, र परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिरबाट मूल फुट्नेछ, र शित्तिमको उपत्यकालाई भिजाउनेछ ।
19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Idumea shall be a desolate plain, because of the wrongs of the children of Juda, because they have shed righteous blood in their land.
यहूदाका मानिसहरूमाथि अत्याचार गरिएको हुनाले, तिनीहरूले आफ्नो देशमा निर्दोष रगत बगाएको हुनाले, मिश्र त्‍यागिएर उजाड हुनेछ, र एदोमचाहिं त्यागिएको उजाड-स्‍थान हुनेछ ।
20 But Judea shall be inhabited for ever, and Jerusalem to all generations.
तर यहूदामा सधैं मानिसहरू बसोबास गर्नेछन्, र यरूशलेममा चाहिं पुस्तादेखि पुस्तासम्म बसोबास हुनेछ ।
21 And I will make inquisition for their blood, and will by no means leave it unavenged: and the Lord shall dwell in Sion.
मैले बदला नलिएको रगतको म बदला लिनेछु, किनकि परमप्रभु सियोनमा बास गर्नुहुन्‍छ ।”
