< Zechariah 7 >
1 And it comes to pass, in the fourth year of Darius the king, a word of YHWH has been to Zechariah, in the fourth of the ninth month, in Chisleu.
दारा राजाले चार वर्ष शासन गरिसकेपछि, किसलेव (अर्थात् नवौँ महिना) को चौथो दिनमा, परमप्रभुको वचन जकरियाकहाँ आयो ।
2 And Beth-El sends Sherezer and Regem-Melech, and its men, to appease the face of YHWH,
बेथेलका मानिसहरूले शरेसेर र रेगेम-मेलक र तिनीहरूका मानिसहरूलाई परमप्रभुको सामु बिन्ती गर्न पठाए ।
3 speaking to the priests who [are] at the house of YHWH of Hosts, and to the prophets, saying, “Do I weep in the fifth month—being separated—as I have done these so many years?”
तिनीहरूले सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुका भवनमा भएका पुजारीहरू र अगमवक्ताहरूलाई यस्तो भने, “मैले बितेका वर्षहरूमा गर्आएकोझैँ, के म पाचौँ महिनामा उपवास बसेर विलाप गरूँ?”
4 And there is a word of YHWH of Hosts to me, saying,
यसैकारण सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुको यस्तो वचन मकहाँ आयो,
5 “Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying,
“भूमिका सबै मानिसहरू र पुजारीहरूलाई यस्तो भन्, ‘यी सत्तरी वर्षसम्म तिमीहरूले पाचौँ र सातौँ महिनामा उपवास बस्दा र विलाप गर्दा, के तिमीहरू साँच्चै मेरो निम्ति उपवास बसिरहेका थियौ?
6 When you fasted with mourning in the fifth and in the seventh [months]—even these seventy years—did you keep the fast [to] Me? And when you eat, and when you drink, is it not you who are eating, and you who are drinking?
तिमीहरूले खाँदा र पिउँदा, के तिमीहरूले आफ्नै निम्ति खाएनौ र आफ्नै निम्ति पिएनौ?
7 Are [these] not the words that YHWH proclaimed by the hand of the former prophets, in Jerusalem’s being inhabited, and [in] safety, and its cities around it, and the south and the plain—abiding?”
तिमीहरू यरूशलेम र आसपासका सहरहरूमा सम्पन्नतामाबसोबास गरिरहँदा र तिमीहरू नेगेव, र पश्चिमका पहाडहरूको फेदमा अवस्थित हुँदा, के अगिल्ला अगमवक्ताहरूका मुखबाट परमप्रभुले घोषणा गर्नुभएका वचन यी नै थिएनन् र?’”
8 And there is a word of YHWH to Zechariah, saying,
परमप्रभुको यस्तो वचन जकरियाकहाँआयो,
9 “Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, saying, Judge [with] true judgment, And do kindness and mercy with one another.
“सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्नुहुन्छ, ‘साँचो न्याय, करारको विश्वसनीयता, र अनुग्रहद्वारा इन्साफ गर । हरेक मानिसले आफ्नो दाजुभाइको निम्ति यस्तो गरोस् ।
10 And do not oppress widow, and fatherless, Sojourner, and poor, And you do not devise the calamity of one another in your heart.
विधवा र टुहुरा, परदेशी, र गरिब मानिसमाथिअत्याचार नगर, र कसैले पनि आफ्नो हृदयमा अर्काको विरुद्ध खराबीको योजना नबनाओस् ।’
11 And they refuse to attend, And they give a stubborn shoulder, And their ears are made heavy against hearing.
तर तिनीहरूले ध्यान दिएनन् र हठी भएर आफ्नो पीठ फर्काए । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कान थुने र केही पनि सुनेनन् ।
12 And their heart they have made adamant, Against hearing the Law, and the words, That YHWH of Hosts sent by His Spirit, By the hand of the former prophets, And there is great wrath from YHWH of Hosts.
व्यवस्था वा सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुको वचन नसुन्नको निम्ति तिनीहरूले आफ्ना हृदयलाई चट्टानझैँ कडा बनाए । पहिलेका समयमा, उहाँले यी सन्देशहरू आफ्ना मानिसहरूकहाँ आफ्नो आत्माद्वारा, अगमवक्ताहरूका ओठद्वारा पठाउनुभयो । तर ती मानिसहरूले सुन्न इन्कार गरे, यसैकारण सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु तिनीहरूसँग धेरै रिसाउनुभयो ।
13 And it comes to pass, as He called, And they have not listened, So they call, and I do not listen,” said YHWH of Hosts.
उहाँले बोलाउनुहुँदा, तिनीहरूले सुनेनन् । त्यसरी नै तिनीहरूले मेरो पुकारा गर्नेछन्, तर म त्यो सुन्नेछैनँ,” सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ ।
14 “And I toss them on all the nations, That they have not known, The land has been desolate behind them, Of any passing by and turning back, And they set a desirable land for a desolation!”
“किनकि म आँधीबेहरीद्वारा तिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूले नदेखेकाजातिहरूका बिचमा तितर-बितर पार्नेछु, र तिनीहरूपछि त्यो भूमि निर्जन हुनेछ । किनकि कोही पनि त्यो देशबाट भएर जानेछैन न त कोही त्यहाँ फर्कनेछ किनभने मानिसहरूले आफ्नो सुन्दर भूमिलाई उजाड बनाएका छन् ।”
