< Hosea 8 >

1 “To your mouth—a horn, As an eagle against the house of YHWH, Because they transgressed My covenant, And against My law they have rebelled.
“तुरही फुक्‍न तयार होओ! परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिरमाथि एउटा गरुड आउँदैछ, किनभने मानिसहरूले मेरो करार भङ्ग गरेका छन्, र मेरो व्यवस्थाको विरुद्ध बागी भएका छन् ।
2 To Me they cry, My God, we—Israel—have known You.
तिनीहरू मलाई पुकारा गर्छन्, ‘हे मेरा परमेश्‍वर, इस्राएलीमा हामी तपाईंलाई चिन्दछौं ।’
3 Israel has cast off good, an enemy pursues him.
तर इस्राएलले जे असल छ त्यो इन्‍कार गरेको छ, र सत्रुले त्यसलाई खेद्‍नेछ ।
4 They have made kings, and not by Me, They have made princes, and I have not known, Their silver and their gold they have made to them idols, So that they are cut off.
मैले नचुनेका राजाहरूलाई, तिनीहरूले स्थापित गरेका छन् । तिनीहरूले मलाई नसोधी राजकुमारहरू नियुक्‍त गरेका छन् । आफ्‍ना चाँदी र सुनले, आफ्नै निम्ति तिनीहरूले मूर्तिहरू बनाएका छन्, तर तिनीहरूको विनाश हुनलाई नै यसो भयो ।”
5 Your calf has cast off, O Samaria, My anger has burned against them; Until when are they not capable of purity?
“ए समारिया, तेरो बाछो तिरस्‍कृत भएको छ । यी मानिसहरूका विरूद्धमा मेरो क्रोध जल्‍दैछ । किनकि कहिलेसम्म तिनीहरू दोषी रहनेछन्?
6 For even it [is] of Israel; a craftsman made it, And it [is] not God, For the calf of Samaria is fragments!
किनकि यो मूर्ति इस्राएलबाट आएको हो । एउटा कारिगरले त्‍यो बनायो । त्यो परमेश्‍वर होइन! सामरियाको बाछोलाइ टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिनेछ ।
7 For wind they sow, and a windstorm they reap, Stalk it has none—a shoot not yielding grain, If so be it yield—strangers swallow it up.
किनकि मानिसहरूले बतास छर्छन्, र आँधिको कटनी गर्छन् । खडा बालीमा बालाहरू छैनन्, र त्यसले केही फसल दिंदैन । त्यसमा फसल लाग्‍यो भने, परदेशीहरूले त्यो सखाप पार्नेछन् ।
8 Israel has been swallowed up, Now they have been among nations, As a vessel in which is no delight.
इस्राएल निलिएको छ । अब जातिहरूमा बिचमा ती काम नलाग्‍ने वस्तुझैं रहन्‍छन् ।
9 For they have gone up [to] Asshur, A wild donkey alone by himself [is] Ephraim, They have hired lovers!
किनकि वन-गधा एक्लै गएझैं, तिनीहरू अश्‍शूरसम्‍म गए । एफ्राइमले आफ्नै निम्ति प्रेमीहरू नियुक्‍त गरेको छ ।
10 Also though they hire among nations, Now I gather them, and they are pained a little, From the burden of a king of princes.
तिनीहरूले जातिहरूका बिचमा प्रेमीहरू नियुक्‍त गरे तापनि, अब तिनीहरूलाई म एकसाथ भेला गराउनेछु । राजकुमारहरूका राजाको दमनको कारणले, तिनीहरू दुःखी हुन लाग्‍नेछन् ।
11 Because Ephraim multiplied altars to sin, They have been to him altars to sin.
किनकि पापबलिहरूका निम्ति एफ्राइमले वेदीहरूको सङ्ख्या बढाएका छन्, तर झन् पाप गर्ने वेदीहरू ती भएका छन् ।
12 I write for him numerous things of My law, As a strange thing they have been reckoned.
तिनीहरूका निम्ति मैले आफ्‍नो व्यवस्थालाई दस हजारपल्‍ट लेखे पनि, तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई कुनै नयाँ कुराजस्‍तो गरी हेर्छन् ।
13 The sacrifices of My offerings! They sacrifice flesh, and they eat, YHWH has not accepted them, Now He remembers their iniquity, And inspects their sin, They return [to] Egypt.
मेरा भेटीहरूका बलिदानको बारेमा, तिनीहरूले मासु चढाउँछन् र त्यो खान्‍छन्, तर म, परमप्रभुले त्यो ग्रहण गर्दिनँ । अब म तिनीहरूका अधर्मका बारेमा विचार गर्नेछु, र तिनीहरूका पापलाई दण्ड दिनेछु । तिनीहरू मिश्रदेशमा फर्कनेछन् ।
14 And Israel forgets his Maker, and builds temples, And Judah has multiplied cities of defense, And I have sent a fire into his cities, And it has consumed their palaces!”
इस्राएलले आफ्‍ना सृष्‍टिकर्ता, मलाई बिर्सेको छ, र दरबारहरू बनाएका छ । यहूदाले धेरै सहरहरूलाई किल्‍लाबन्‍दी गरेको छ, तर त्यसका सहरहरूमा म आगो पठाउनेछु, र त्यसले उसका किल्‍लाहरू भष्‍म पार्नेछ ।
