Zephaniah 3
1 Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, the oppressing city.
धिक्कार त्यो बागी शहर! त्यो हिंसक शहर अशुद्ध भएको छ ।
2 She did not obey the voice. She did not receive correction. She did not trust in Jehovah. She did not draw near to her God.
त्यसले परमेश्वरको आवाज सुनेको छैन, न त त्यसले परमप्रभुबाटको सुधारलाई ग्रहण गर्यो । त्यसले परमप्रभुमा विश्वास गर्दैन र त्यो आफ्नो परमेश्वरको समिप जाँदैन ।
3 Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing until the next day.
त्यसको माझमा त्यसका राजकुमारहरू गर्जने सिंहझैँ छन् । त्यसका न्यायकर्ताहरू साँझमा आउने ब्वाँसाहरूझैँ छन् जसले बिहानसम्म खानको निम्ति केही पनि बाँकी राख्दैनन् ।
4 Her prophets are arrogant and treacherous people. Her priests have profaned the sanctuary. They have done violence to the law.
त्यसका अगमवक्ताहरू ढीट र विश्वासघाती मानिसहरू हुन् । त्यसका पूजाहारीहरुले पवित्र कुरालाई अशुद्ध बनाएका छन् र व्यवस्थाको विरुद्ध हिंसा गरेका छन् ।
5 Jehovah, in the midst of her, is righteous. He will do no wrong. Every morning he brings his justice to light. He doesn't fail, but the unjust know no shame.
त्यसको बिचमा परमप्रभु धार्मिक हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले कुनै खराबी गर्नुहुन्न । हरेक बिहानी उहाँले आफ्नो न्याय प्रदान गर्नुहुन्छ । त्यो प्रकाशमा लुक्नेछैन, तर पनि अधर्मीहरूलाई कुनै शर्म छैन ।
6 I have cut off nations. Their battlements are desolate. I have made their streets waste, so that no one passes by. Their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.
“मैले जाति-जातिहरूलाई नष्ट पारेको छु । तिनीहरूका किल्लाहरू ध्वस्त भएका छन् । मैले तिनीहरूका सडकहरूलाई भग्नावशेष बनाइदिएको छु, अनि तीबाट भएर कोही पनि जाँदैनन् । तिनीहरूका शहरहरु नष्ट पारिएका छन्, अनि त्यहाँ कोही मानिस बसोबास गर्दैनन् ।
7 I said, "Just fear me. Receive correction, so that her dwelling won't be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her." But they rose early and corrupted all their doings.
मैले भनेँ, ‘निश्चय नै तैँले मेरो भय मान्नेछस् । मेरो सुधारलाई स्वीकार गर् र मैले तेरो विरुद्धमा गरिदिनेछु भनी योजना गरेझैँ, तँ तेरो घरबाट बहिष्कार हुनेछैनस् ।’ तर तिनीहरू हरेक बिहानीलाई भ्रष्ट कामहरुद्धारा सुरुवात गर्न आतुर हुन्छन् ।
8 "Therefore wait for me," says Jehovah, "until the day that I rise up as a witness. For my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour on them my indignation, even all my fierce anger. For all the earth will be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
त्यसैकारण जुन दिनसम्म म शिकारलाई पक्रनको निम्ति उठ्दिनँ, त्यस बेलासम्म मलाई पर्ख, परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ । किनकि मेरो निर्णय जाति-जातिहरूलाई एकठ्ठा गर्ने, राज्यहरूलाई जम्मा गर्ने, र तिनीहरूमाथि मेरो क्रोध, मेरो सम्पूर्ण ज्वलन्त क्रोध खन्याउने हो, किनभने मेरो डाहको आगोमा सारा पृथ्वी भस्म हुनेछ ।
9 For then I will purify the lips of the peoples, that they may all call on the name of Jehovah, to serve him shoulder to shoulder.
तर त्यसपछि म मानिसहरूका ओठहरूलाई शुद्ध पार्नेछु, ताकि तिनीहरू सबैले काँधमा काँध मिलाएर परमप्रभुको सेवा गर्नको निम्ति उहाँको नाउँ पुकारून् ।
10 From beyond the rivers of Cush, my worshipers, even the daughter of my dispersed people, will bring my offering.
कूशका नदीहरूको पारिबाट मेरो आराधना गर्नेहरू, र तितरबितर भएका मेरा मानिसहरूले मेरो निम्ति बलिदानहरू ल्याउनेछन् ।
11 In that day you will not be disappointed for all your doings, in which you have transgressed against me; for then I will take away out of the midst of you your proudly exulting ones, and you will no more be haughty in my holy mountain.
त्यस दिन तैँले मेरो विरुद्ध गरेका सबै कामहरूको कारण तँ शर्ममा पारिनेछैनस्, किनभने त्यस समयमा तेरो घमण्डको उत्सव मनाउनेहरूलाई तेरो बिचबाट म हटाइदिनेछु, र मेरो पवित्र पर्वतमा अबदेखि उसो तैँले अहङ्कारी भएर काम गर्नेछैनस् ।
12 But I will leave in the midst of you an afflicted and poor people, and they will take refuge in the name of Jehovah.
तर तेरो बिचमा म नम्र र गरीब मानिसहरूलाई छोडिदिनेछु, र तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको नाउँमा शरण पाउनेछन् ।
13 The remnant of Israel will not do iniquity, nor speak lies, neither will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth, for they will feed and lie down, and no one will make them afraid."
इस्राएलका बाँकी रहेकाहरूले अब उसो अन्याय गर्नेछैनन् वा झुटो बोल्नेछैनन्, र तिनीहरूको मुखमा छलपूर्ण जिब्रो पाइनेछैन । यसैकारण तिनीहरू खानेछन् र पल्टिनेछन्, र तिनीहरू भयभीत हुनेछैनन् ।”
14 Sing, daughter of Zion. Shout, Israel. Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, daughter of Jerusalem.
ए सियोनकी छोरी, गा! इस्राएल, उच्च सोरमा करा । यरूशलेमकी छोरी आनन्दित हो र आफ्नो सारा हृदयले रमाहट गर् ।
15 Jehovah has taken away your judgments. He has thrown out your enemy. The King of Israel, Jehovah, is in the midst of you. You will not be afraid of evil any more.
परमप्रभुले तेरो दण्ड तँबाट टाढा गरिदिनुभएको छ, तेरा शत्रुहरूलाई धपाइदिनुभएको छ । तेरो बिचमा परमप्रभु इस्राएलका राजा हुनुहुन्छ । अबदेखि उसो तैँले दुष्टको भय मान्नेछैनस् ।
16 In that day, it will be said to Jerusalem, "Do not be afraid, Zion. Do not let your hands be weak."
त्यस दिन तिनीहरूले यरूशलेमलाई भन्नेछन्, “ए सियोन, नडरा । तेरा हात कमजोर हुन नदे ।
17 Jehovah your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing.
परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर तेरो बिचमा हुनुहुन्छ, जो तँलाई बचाउन सामर्थी हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले तेरो निम्ति आनन्द मनाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँ आफ्नो प्रेममा तँसित शान्त हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँ आनन्दको सोरले तँसित रमाउनुहुनेछ ।
18 I will remove those who grieve about the appointed feasts from you. They are a burden and a reproach to you.
नियुक्त गरिएका भोजहरूमा उपस्थित हुन नसकेर शोक गर्नेहरूलाई म भेला गराउनेछु, यसैकारण अबदेखि तँ त्यसको निम्ति शर्ममा पर्नेछैनस् ।
19 Look, at that time I will deal with all those who afflict you, and I will save those who are lame, and gather those who were driven away. I will give them praise and honor, whose shame has been in all the earth.
हेर्, तँलाई दमन गर्नेहरूसँग म लेखा लिनेछु । त्यसबेला, म लङ्गडालाई बचाउनेछु र बहिष्कृतहरूलाई भेला गराउनेछु । म तिनीहरूलाई मान-सम्मान दिनेछु, र तिनीहरूको शर्मलाई सारा पृथ्वीभरि प्रसिद्धिमा परिणत गरिदिनेछु ।
20 At that time will I bring you in, and at that time will I gather you; for I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes, says Jehovah.
त्यसबेला, म तिमीहरूको नेतृत्व गर्नेछु, र तिमीहरूलाई भेला गराउनेछु । जब म तिमीहरूलाई पुनर्स्थापित गर्नेछु, म पृथ्वीका सारा जातिहरूलाई तिमीहरूको सम्मान र प्रशंसा गर्न लगाउनेछु,” परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ ।
