< Amos 1 >
1 This is the message that [Yahweh] gave to [me], Amos. I am a (shepherd/man who takes care of sheep). I am from [near] Tekoa [town south of Jerusalem]. I received this message about Israel in a vision two years before the [big] earthquake. It was when Uzziah was the king of Judah, and Jeroboam, the son of [King] Jehoash, was the king of Israel.
तकोका गोठालामध्ये एक जना आमोसले इस्राएलका विषयमा प्रकाशमा पाएका कुराहरू यी नै हुन् । भुकम्प जानुभन्दा दुई वर्षअगाडि यहूदाका राजा उज्जियाहका दिनमा, र येहोआशका छोरा इस्राएलका राजा यारोबामका दिनमा पनि तिनले यी कुराहरू प्राप्त गरे ।
2 This is what Yahweh said: “I will roar [like a lion] [MET]; when I speak from Zion [Hill in] Jerusalem [DOU], my voice will [resemble the sound of] thunder. [When that happens], the pastures where you shepherds [take care of] your sheep will dry up, and [the grass] on top of Carmel [Mountain] will (wither/become brown) [because I will cause that no rain will fall].”
तिनले भने, “परमप्रभु सियोनबाट गर्जनुहुनेछ । उहाँले यरूशलेमबाट आफ्नो आवाज उठाउनुहुनेछ । गोठालाहरूका खर्कहरू सुक्नेछन् । कार्मेलको टाकुरो ओइलाउनेछ ।”
3 This is [also] what Yahweh said [to me]: “[I will punish the people of] Damascus, [the capital of Syria, ] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not [change my mind about punishing them] [MTY], because [the cruel things that they did to the people of the] Gilead [region] [were like] [MET] people threshing grain using sledges [that have (iron teeth/sharp iron nails) in them].
परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः “दमस्कसका तिन वा चारवटा पापका निम्ति समेत, दण्ड दिनबाट म पछि हट्नेछैनँ, किनभने तिनीहरूले गिलादलाई फलामका औजारहरूले नाश पारे ।
4 I will cause a fire to burn the palace [that King] Hazael [built and lived in], the fortress where [his son King] Ben-Hadad [also] lived.
हजाएलको घरानामा म आगो पठाउनेछु, र त्यसले बेन-हददका किल्लाहरू भस्म पार्नेछ ।
5 I will cause the gates of Damascus to be broken [down]; I will get rid of the king who rules in Aven Valley and the one who rules in Beth Eden. And the people of Syria will be captured and taken to the Kir [region where they originally lived].”
म दमस्कसका मूल ढोकाका गजबारहरू भाँच्नेछु र आवन उपत्यकामा राज्य गर्नेलाई, र बेथ-अदनमा राजदण्ड लिनेलाई समेत म टुक्राटुक्रा पार्नेछु । अरामका मानिसहरू निर्वासित भएर कीरमा जानेछन्,” परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ ।
6 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “[I will punish the people of the cities in Philistia]: [I will punish the people of] Gaza [city] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they captured large groups of people and took them to Edom and sold them to become the slaves of [the people of] Edom.
परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “गाजाका तिन वा चारवटा पापका निम्ति समेत, दण्ड दिनबाट म पछि हट्नेछैनँ, किनभने तिनीहरूले सम्पूर्ण मानिसलाई कैदी बनाएर, एदोमको हातमा सुम्पन लगे ।
7 I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Gaza and [also] destroy its fortresses.
गाजाका पर्खालहरूमा म आगो पठाउनेछु र त्यसले त्यसका किल्लाहरू भस्म पार्नेछ ।
8 I will get rid of the king of Ashdod [city] and the king who rules [MTY] in Ashkelon [city]. I will [also] strike/punish [the people of] Ekron [city], and [all] the people of Philistia who are still alive will be killed.”
अश्दोदमा बस्ने मानिस, र अश्कलोनको राजदण्ड लिने मानिसलाई म टुक्राटुक्रा पार्नेछु । एक्रोनको विरुद्ध म आफ्ना हात उठाउनेछु, र बाँकी रहेका पलिश्तीहरू नाश हुनेछन्,” परमप्रभु परमेश्वर भन्नुहुन्छ ।
9 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “[I will punish the people of] Tyre [city] because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they [also] captured large groups of our people and took them to Edom, disregarding the treaty of friendship that they had made [with your rulers].
परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः “टुरोसका तिन वा चारवटा पापका निम्ति समेत, दण्ड दिनबाट म पछि हट्नेछैनँ, किनभने तिनीहरूले सम्पूर्ण मानिसलाई एदोममा सुम्पेका छन्, र आफ्नो भ्रातृत्व करार तिनीहरूले तोडेका छन् ।
10 So I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Tyre and [also] destroy its fortresses.”
टुरोसका पर्खालहरूमा म आगो पठाउनेछु, र त्यसले उसका किल्लाहरूलाई भस्म पार्नेछ ।”
11 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “I will punish [the people of] Edom because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they pursued the people [of Israel], who descended from Esau’s [brother Jacob, and killed them] with swords; they did not act mercifully toward them at all. They were extremely angry [with the people of Israel], and they continued to be angry [with them].
परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्नुहुन्छ, “एदोमका तिन वा चारवटा पापका निम्ति समेत, दण्ड दिनबाट म पछि हट्नेछैनँ, किनभने त्यसले आफ्नो भाइलाई तरवारले खेद्यो, र सबै दयालाई त्यागिदियो । त्यसको रिस निरन्तर बढ्यो, र त्यसको क्रोध सदाको निम्ति रह्यो ।
12 I will cause a fire to burn Teman [district in Edom] and completely burn the fortresses of Bozrah, [the biggest city in Edom].”
तेमानमा म आगो पठाउनेछु, र त्यसले बोज्राका दरबारहरूलाई भस्म पार्नेछ ।”
13 Yahweh [also] said this [to me]: “I will punish [the people of] Ammon because of the many sins that [they] have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because [their soldiers even] ripped open [the bellies of] pregnant women [when their army attacked] the Gilead [region] to gain more territory.
परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “अम्मोनका तिन वा चारवटा पापका निम्ति समेत, दण्ड दिनबाट म पछि हट्नेछैनँ, किनभने तिनीहरूले आफ्नो सीमा बढाउन सकून् भनेर, गिलादका गर्भवती स्त्रीहरूका पेट चिरे ।
14 I will cause a fire to [completely] burn the walls around Rabbah [city] and completely burn its fortresses. During that battle, [their enemies] will shout loudly and the fighting will be [like] [MET] a fierce/raging wind/storm.
रब्बाका पर्खालहरूमा म आगो बाल्नेछु, र युद्धको दिनको चिच्याहट, र हुरीबतासमा हुने आँधीको दिनको, आवाज निकालेर दरबारहरूलाई भस्म पार्नेछ ।
15 [After the battle], the king [of Ammon] and his officials will be (exiled/forced to go to another country).”
तिनीहरूका राजा, त्योसँगै त्यसका अधिकारीहरू समेत कैदमा जानेछन्,” परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ ।
