Zechariah 1

1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Daryavesh, the word of the LORD came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,

दाराको शासनकालको दोस्रो वर्षको आठौँ महिनामा, अगमवक्ता इद्दोका नाति बेरेक्याहका छोरा जकरियाकहाँ परमप्रभुको यस्तो वचन आय।

2 "The LORD was very displeased with your fathers.

“परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूसँग अत्यन्तै रिसाउनुभएको थियो!

3 Therefore tell them: Thus says the LORD of hosts: 'Return to me,' says the LORD of hosts, 'and I will return to you,' says the LORD of hosts.

तिनीहरूलाई भन्, ‘सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: मतिरफर्क!- परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ- र म तिमीहरूतिर फर्कनेछु, सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।

4 Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying: Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'Return now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings;' but they did not hear, nor listen to me, says the LORD.

तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूझैँ नहोओ जसलाई अगमवक्ताहरूले यस्तो भनेका थिए, “सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: तिमीहरूका खराब मार्गहरू र दुष्‍ट कामहरूबाट फर्क!” तर तिनीहरूले सुनेनन् र मलाई ध्यान दिएनन् - परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ ।’”

5 Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?

तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरू कहाँ छन्? अगमवक्ताहरू कहाँ छन्, के तिनीहरूयहाँ सधैँ रहन्छन्?

6 But my words and my statutes, which I commanded by my Spirit to my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? Then they repented and said, 'Just as the LORD of hosts determined to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our practices, so he has dealt with us.'"

तर मैले मेरा दास अगमवक्ताहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेका मेरा वचन र निर्णयहरूले के तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूलाई उछिनेकाछैनन् र? यसैकारण तिनीहरूले पाश्‍चाताप गरे र भने, ‘हाम्रा चाल र कामहरूअनुसारसुहाउँदो सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुले हामीसँग जस्तो व्यवहार गर्ने योजना गर्नुभयो, उहाँले हामीसित त्यस्तै गर्नुभएको छ ।’”

7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Daryavesh, the word of the LORD came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,

दाराको शासनकालको दोस्रो वर्षको एघारौँ महिनाको चौबिसौँ दिन, अर्थात् शेबातको महिनामा, अगमवक्ता इद्दोका नाति बेरेक्याहका छोरा जकरियाकहाँ परमप्रभुको यस्तो वचन आयो,

8 "I had a vision in the night, and look, a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in a ravine; and behind him there were red, brown, and white horses.

“मैले रातमा यस्तो देखेँ! एउटा मानिस रातो घोडामा सवार थिए, र तिनी बेँसीको असारे-फूलका रूखहरूका माझमा थिए, र उनको पछाडि रातो, रातो-खैरो, र सेतो घोडाहरू थिए ।”

9 Then I asked, 'My lord, what are these?'" The angel who talked with me said to me, "I will show you what these are."

मैले भनेँ, “परमप्रभु, यी कुराहरू के हुन्?” अनि मसँग बोलिरहेका स्वर्गदूतले मलाई भने, “यी कुराहरू के हुन्, म तिमीलाई देखाउनेछु ।”

10 The man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said to me, "They are the ones the LORD has sent to go back and forth through the earth."

ती असारे-फूलका रूखहरूबिचमा उभिरहेका मानिसले जवाफ दिए, “यी तिनै हुन् जसलाई परमप्रभुले पृथ्वीभरि घुमफिर गर्नको निम्ति पठाउनुभएको छ ।”

11 They reported to the angel of the LORD who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, "We have walked back and forth through the earth, and look, all the earth is at rest and in peace."

असारे-फूलका रूखहरूकाबिचमा बसेका परमप्रभुका स्वर्गदूतलाई तिनीहरूले यस्तो जवाफ दिए, “हामी सारा पृथ्वीभरि धुमिरहेका छौँ । हेर्नुहोस्, सारा पृथ्वी शान्त र आराम गरिरहेको छ ।”

12 Then the angel of the LORD replied, "O LORD of hosts, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which you have had indignation these seventy years?"

अनि परमप्रभुका स्वर्गदूतले यस्तो जवाफ दिए, सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु, यरूशलेम र यहूदाका सहरहरूप्रति तपाईंले कहिलेसम्म दया देखाउनुहुनेछैन, जससँग तपाईं सत्तरी वर्षदेखि रिसाउनुभएको छ?”

13 The LORD answered the angel who talked with me with kind and comforting words.

मसँग कुरा गरेका स्वर्गदूतसँग परमप्रभुले असल शब्दहरू, सान्त्वनाका शब्दहरूमा बोल्नुभयो ।

14 So the angel who talked with me said to me, "Proclaim, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts: "I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.

यसैकारण मसँग कुरा गरेका स्वर्गदूतले मलाई भने, “उच्‍च सोरमा भन, ‘सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: म यरूशलेम र सियोनको निम्ति अत्यन्तै डाही भएको छु!

15 I am very angry with the nations that are at ease; for I was but only a little angry, but they added to the calamity."

सुख-चैनमा बसिरहेका जातिहरूसँग म धेरै रिसाएको छु । जब म तिनीहरूसँग थोरै मात्र रिसाएको थिएँ, तिनीहरूले विपत्तिलाई झन् खराब बनाइदिए ।

16 Therefore thus says the LORD: "I have returned to Jerusalem with mercy. My house will be built in it," says the LORD of hosts, "and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem."'

यसकारण सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: म यरूशलेममा दयासाथ फर्केको छु । मेरो भवन त्यसभित्र निर्माण हुनेछ र यरूशलेममाथि नाप्ने डोरी तन्काइनेछ, सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ ।’

17 "Proclaim further, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts: "My cities will again overflow with prosperity, and the LORD will again comfort Zion, and will again choose Jerusalem."'"

उच्‍च सोरमा फेरि यस्तो भन, ‘सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: मेरा सहरहरू फेरि असल कुराहरूले भरिएर पोखिनेछ, र परमप्रभुले फेरि सियोनलाई सान्त्वना दिनुहुनेछ र उहाँले फेरी यरूशलेमलाई चुन्‍नुहुनेछ ।’”

18 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, four horns.

अनि मैले आफ्ना आँखाहरू माथि उठाएँ र चारओटा सीङ देखें!

19 I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these?" He answered me, "These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem."

मसँग बोलिरहेका स्वर्गदूतसँग म बोलें, “यी के हुन्?” उनले जवाफ दिए, “यी ती सीङहरू हुन् जसले यहूदा, इस्राएल, र यरूशलेमलाई तितर-बितर पारे ।”

20 The LORD showed me four craftsmen.

अनि परमप्रभुले मलाई चार जना कारीगरहरु देखाउनुभयो ।

21 Then I asked, "What are these coming to do?" He said, "These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; but these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it."

मैले भनें, “यी मानिसहरू के गर्न आएका हुन्?” उनले जवाफ दिए, “यी ती सीङहरू हुन् जसले यहूदालाई तितर-बितर पारे ताकि कोही मानिसले पनि आफ्नो शिर उठाउन नसकोस् । तर ती कारीगरहरु तिनीहरूलाई त्रासित गर्न, र यहूदालाई तितर-बितर गर्नको निम्ति त्यसको विरुद्ध सीङ उठाएका जातिहरूका सीङहरूलाई पराजित गर्न आएका हुन् ।”
