< Amos 2 >

1 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Moab, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime;
परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छः “मोआबका तिन वा चारवटा पापका निम्‍ति समेत, दण्ड दिनबाट म पछि हट्‍नेछैनँ, किनभने त्यसले एदोमका राजालाई जलाएर चून बनायो ।
2 but I will send a fire on Moab, and it will devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab will die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet;
मोआबमा म आगो पठाउनेछु, र त्यसले किर्योतका किल्लाहरूलाई भस्म पार्नेछ । चिच्‍याहट र तुरहीको आवाजमा, ठुलो गर्जनसहित मोआबचाहिं मर्नेछ ।
3 and I will cut off the judge from their midst, and will kill all its officials with him," says the LORD.
त्यसको न्यायकर्तालाई म नष्‍ट गर्नेछु र त्यसका सबै राजकुमारलाई म मार्नेछु,” परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।
4 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Judah, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have rejected the LORD's law, and have not kept his statutes. Their false idols which they made, after which their fathers walked, have led them astray.
परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छः “यहूदाका तिन वा चारवटा पापका निम्‍ति समेत, दण्ड दिनबाट म पछि हट्‍नेछैनँ, किनभने तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको व्यवस्थालाई तिरस्‍कार गरे, र उहाँका विधिहरू पालना गरेनन् । तिनीहरूका झुटले तिनीहरूलाई भ्रममा पार्‍यो, जसका पछि तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरू पनि हिंडेका थिए ।
5 But I will send a fire on Judah, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem."
यहूदामा म आगो पठाउनेछु, र त्यसले यरूशलेमका किल्लाहरूलाई भस्म पार्नेछ ।”
6 Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;
परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छः “इस्राएलका तिन वा चारवटा पापका निम्‍ति समेत, दण्ड दिनबाट म पछि हट्‍नेछैनँ, किनभने तिनीहरूले निर्दोषहरूलाई चाँदीमा, अनि दरिद्रहरूलाई एक जोर जुत्तामा बेचे ।
7 They trample on the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and deny justice to the oppressed; and a man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name;
मानिसहरूले भुइँमा भएको धुलोलाई कुल्चेझैँ, तिनीहरूले गरिबहरूका शिरहरू कुल्चन्‍छन् । तिनीहरूले थिचोमिचोमा परेकालाई पर धकेल्‍छन् । एक जना मानिस र उसका बाबु एउटै केटीसँग सुत्‍छन्, र यसरी मेरो पवित्र नाउँलाई अशुद्ध पार्छन् ।
8 and they lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge; and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
तिनीहरूले बन्धकको रूपमा लिएका लुगाहरूमाथि नै हरेक वेदीको छेउमा पल्टिन्‍छन्, र जरिमानामा लिएको दाखमद्य नै तिनीहरूले आफ्‍नो परमेश्‍वरका मन्दिरमा पिउँछन् ।
9 Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
तापनि तिनीहरूका सामु मैले एमोरीलाई नाश गरें, जसका उचाइ देवदारुहरूका उचाइझैं थियो । त्यो फलाँटको रूख जत्तिकै बलियो थियो । तापनि मैले त्यसको माथिको फल, अनि त्यसको मुनिका जराहरूलाई नाश गरें ।
10 Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
साथै मैले तिमीहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट निकालेर माथि ल्याएँ, र एमोरीहरूको देश कब्जा गर्नलाई, चालिस वर्षसम्म तिमीहरूलाई मरुभूमिमा डोर्‍याएँ ।
11 I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Isn't this true, you children of Israel?" says the LORD.
तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीका बिचबाट अगमवक्ताहरू, र तिमीहरूका जवान मानिसहरूबाट नाजिरीहरू मैले खडा गरें । ए इस्राएलका मानिस हो, के यो सत्य होइन? — यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
12 "But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, 'Do not prophesy.'
तर तिमीहरूले नाजिरीहरूलाई दाखमद्य पिउन प्रेरित गर्‍यौ, अनि अगमवक्ताहरूलाई अगमवाणी नबोल्‍ने आज्ञा दियौ ।
13 Look, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.
हेर, अन्‍न भरिएको गाडाले कसैलाई कुल्चेझैं, म तिमीहरूलाई कुल्चनेछु ।
14 Flight will perish from the swift; and the strong won't strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;
तेज दौडने उम्केर जान सक्‍नेछैन, र बलियोले आफ्‍नो बलमाथि बल पाउनेछैन, न त शक्तिशालीले आफैंलाई बचाउन सक्‍नेछ ।
15 neither shall he stand who handles the bow; and he who is swift of foot won't escape; neither shall he who rides the horse deliver himself;
धनुधारी खडा हुनेछैन । तीव्र गतिमा दौडने उम्कने छैन । घोडचडीले आफैंलाई बचाउन सक्‍नेछैन ।
16 and he who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked on that day," says the LORD.
त्यस दिनमा सबैभन्दा साहसी योद्धाहरू पनि नाङ्गै भाग्‍नेछन् — यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
