< Ezekiel 23 >

1 Yahweh said to me,
'परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
2 “You human, [listen to this parable about Jerusalem and Samaria]. Once there were two women, daughters of the same mother.
“ए मानिसको छोरो, एउटै आमाका दुई छोरीहरू त्‍यहाँ थिए ।
3 They lived in Egypt. And from the time that they were young women, they became prostitutes. In that land, [men] fondled their breasts and caressed their bosoms [DOU].
आफ्नो जवानी दिनमा तिनीहरूले मिश्रदेशमा वेश्‍यावृति गरे । तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ वेश्याको काम गरे । त्यहाँ तिनीहरूका स्‍तन मिचिए र तिनीहरूको कुमारी अवस्‍थाको मुन्टाहरू खेलाइए ।
4 The older [sister] was Oholah, and her [younger] sister was Oholibah. [It was as though] they became my [wives. Later] they gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah represents Samaria, and Oholibah represents Jerusalem.
तिनिहरूमा दिदीको नाउँ ओहोला र बहिनीको नाउँ ओहोलिबा थियो । तब तिनीहरू मेरा भए, र तिनीहरूले छोराछोरी जन्‍माए । तिनीहरूका नाउँको अर्थ यही होः ओहोलाको अर्थ सामरिया र ओहोलिबाको अर्थ यरूशलेम हो ।
5 Oholah acted like a prostitute while she was [still] my wife. She desired to have sex with those she loved—soldiers from Assyria.
तर मेरै भएको बेलामा पनि ओहोलाले वेश्‍यावृत्ति गरी । आफ्‍ना प्रेमी, प्रभावशाली अश्‍शूरीहरूसित त्‍यो मोहित भई,
6 [Some of them] were army officers and commanders. They wore [beautiful] blue [uniforms. They were] all handsome young men. Some of them rode horses.
नीलो वस्‍त्र लाउने गभर्नर र तिनका अधिकारीहरू, जो बलिया र सुन्दर थिए, ती सबै जना घोडा चढ्ने मानिसहरू थिए ।
7 She acted like a prostitute toward all the important Assyrian officials, and became unacceptable to me by worshiping all the idols of the men she wanted to have sex with.
यसरी तिनीहरू, सबै असल अश्‍शूरी मानिसहरूलाई त्यसले आफैलाई सुम्पिदिई, र त्‍यो मोहित भएका हरेक व्‍यक्‍तिसँग अनि तिनीहरूका सबै मूर्तिहरूसँग त्यसले आफैलाई अशुद्ध पारी ।
8 When she was a young woman in Egypt, she started being a prostitute, and [young] men caressed her breasts and had sex with her; and when she became older, she did not quit acting like a prostitute.
किनकि त्‍यसले मिश्रदेशमा हुँदा पनि त्‍यसको वेश्‍यावृतिको व्‍यवहार छाडेकी थिईन । जति बेला त्‍यो एउटी जवान केटी थिई, त्‍यति बेला तिनीहरू त्‍योसित सुतेका थिए । त्‍यति बेला तिनीहरूले पहिलो पल्‍ट त्‍यसका कन्‍या स्‍तनहरू खेलाएका थिए । त्‍यति बेला तिनीहरूले त्‍यससित आफ्‍ना यौनका छाडा व्‍यवहार गर्न सुरु गरेका थिए ।
9 So I allowed the Assyrian soldiers, whom she wanted to have sex with, to capture her.
यसकारण त्यसका प्रेमीहरूका हातमा अर्थात् अश्‍शूरीहरूका हातमा मैले त्यसलाई सुम्पिदिएँ, जोसँग त्यो मोहित भई ।
10 They stripped all her clothes off her. They took away her sons and daughters. And then they killed her with a sword. [Other] women started talking about what had happened to her, about how she had been punished.
तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई नाङ्गो पारे, त्यसका छोराछोरीलाई लगे, त्यसलाई तरवारले मारे र अरू स्‍त्रीहरूका माझमा त्यो कुख्‍यात भई । यसरी तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई दण्ड दिए ।
11 [younger] sister Oholibah saw those [that happened to Oholah], but she was a prostitute, and she desired to have sex with men more than [older] sister had desired.
त्‍यसकी बहिनी ओहोलिबाले त्‍यो कुरा देखी, तर त्‍यो झन् बढी कामुक भई र आफ्‍नी दिदीभन्‍दा पनि बढी वेश्‍यावृत्तिको काम गर्न लागी ।
12 Oholibah [also] wanted to have sex with the Assyrian soldiers. [Some of them were] army officers and commanders. [They all] wore beautiful blue uniforms. They were all handsome young men. [Some of] them rode horses.
अश्‍शूरीहरू, तिनका गभर्नरहरू र आकर्षक किसिमले वस्‍त्र पहिरिने अधिकारीहरूसँग त्यो कामुक भई, जो घोडा चढ्‍ने मानिसहरू थिए । ती सबै जना बलिया र सुन्दर मानिसहरू थिए ।
13 I saw what she did that caused her to became unacceptable to me, just like [older] sister.
त्यसले आफैलाई अशुद्ध पारेकी मैले देखें । ती दुवै जना दिदीबहिनी उस्‍तै थिए ।
14 But she did [even] worse things. She saw drawings of men from Babylonia on the walls, painted in red.
त्‍यसपछि त्‍यसले आफ्‍नो वेश्‍यावृत्ति झन्‌ बढाई । भित्तामा कोरिएका मानिसहरू, भित्तामा रातो रङ्गले पेन्‍ट गरेर बनाइएका कल्‍दीहरूका चित्रहरू त्यसले देखी,
15 The [in the drawings] had belts around their waists and long turbans on their heads. They all resembled officers from Babylonia [DOU] [who rode in chariots].
आफ्‍ना कम्‍मर वरिपरि पटुका बाँधेका र आफ्‍ना शिरमा लट्‌कने फेटा बाँधेका । ती सबै जना कल्‍दी फौजका रथी अधिकारीहरूजस्‍ता, बेबिलोनियाका छोराहरूजस्‍तै देखिन्‍थे, जसको आफ्‍नो देश कल्‍दीया हो ।
16 As soon as she saw those drawings, she wanted to have sex with those men, and she sent messages to them in Babylonia.
त्‍यसले उनीहरूलाई देख्‍ने बित्तिकै उनीहरूका निम्‍ति त्‍यो कामुक भई । यसैले कल्‍दिया देशमा उनीहरूकहाँ त्‍यसले दूतहरू पठाई ।
17 Then the soldiers from Babylonia came to her, they lay in bed with her, and they had sex with her. Then she became disgusted with them and turned away from them.
त्‍यसपछि बेबिलोनीहरू त्‍यसकहाँ त्‍यसको कामुक ओच्छ्यानमा आए र आफ्‍ना छाडा यौनले तिनीहरूले त्‍यसलाई अशुद्ध पारे । त्‍यसले जे गरेकी थिई त्‍यसद्वारा त्‍यो अशुद्ध भई । यसरी मनमा घृणा बोकेर त्‍यो उनीहरूसँग टाढा भई ।
18 But when she continued to openly/boldly act like a prostitute [DOU], I became disgusted with her, and I rejected her like I had rejected [older] sister.
जब त्‍यसले आफ्‍ना वेश्‍यावृत्तिका कामहरू गरी र आफ्‍नो नग्‍नता देखाई, तब जसरी मनमा घृणा बोकेर त्‍यसकी दिदीसँग म टाढा भएको थिएँ, त्‍यसरी नै म त्योसँग पनि टाढा भएँ ।
19 But she became even more immoral, as she remembered when she was a young woman who was a prostitute in Egypt.
तब मिश्रदेशमा त्‍यो वेश्या हुँदाको, आफ्‍ना युवावस्‍थाका समयलाई सम्‍झेर त्‍यसले आफ्‍नो वेश्‍यावृत्ति झन्‌ बढाई ।
20 There she wanted to have sex with those who loved her, whose genitals were [very long], like [SIM] those of donkeys, and whose sexual emissions were huge, [like] those of horses.
यसरी त्‍यो आफ्‍ना प्रेमीहरूसित कामुक भई, जसका गुताङ्गहरू गधाहरूका जस्‍ता थिए, अनि जसका वीर्य घोडाहरूका झैं निस्‍कन्‍थ्‍यो ।
21 So she desired to be immoral like she was when she was young, when men in Egypt caressed her bosom and fondled her breasts.”
मिश्रीहरूले तेरा स्‍तनका मुन्‍टाहरू खेलाउँदा र तेरा जवानीका स्‍तनहरू मिच्‍दा, तैंले आफ्‍ना जवानीका लज्‍जापूर्ण कामहरू यसरी नै गरिस् ।
22 “[represents you people of Jerusalem]. Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘I will cause those [soldiers] who loved you but whom you turned away from because you became disgusted with them, to be angry with you. I will cause them to come and attack you from every side—
यसैकारण ए ओहोलिबा, परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः ‘हेर्, तेरा प्रेमीहरूलाई म तेरो विरुद्धमा उठाउनेछु । जसबाट तँ टाढा भईस्, उनीहरूलाई चारैतिरबाट म तेरो विरुद्धमा ल्‍याउनेछुः
23 soldiers from Babylon and all the other places in Babylonia, [their allies] from Pekod and Shoa and [regions], and all the army of Assyria. [Yes], all of them are handsome young men, army officers and commanders, officers who ride in chariots, all riding on horses.
बेबिलोनीहरू र सबै कल्‍दीहरू, पकोद, शोअ र कोअका मानिसहरू, र तिनीहरूसँगै सबै अश्‍शूरहरू, बलिया, सुन्‍दर मानिसहरू, गभर्नरहरू, कमाण्‍डरहरू, ती सबै जना अधिकारीहरू र इज्‍जतदार मानिसहरूलाई, घोडामा सवार सबै जना मानिसहरूलाई ।
24 Their huge army will attack you with weapons, riding in chariots and pulling wagons [that will carry their army supplies]. They will surround you, carrying large and small shields, and wearing helmets. I will allow them to capture you and punish you in the way that they [always] [their enemies].
उनीहरू तेरो विरुद्धमा हतियारहरू र रथहरू र गाडाहरू र मानिसहरूका ठुलो भीडलाई साथमा लिएर आउनेछन्‌ । ठुला ढालहरू, साना ढालहरू लिएर र टोप लाएर उनीहरूले तँलाई घेरा हाल्‍नेछन्‌ । तँलाई दण्‍ड दिने मौका उनीहरूलाई म दिनेछु, र उनीहरूले आफ्‍ना कामहरूले तँलाई दण्‍ड दिनेछन्‌ ।
25 Because I am very angry with you, I will cause them to act [very] furiously toward you. They will cut off your noses and your ears. Then, those who are still alive, they will kill with their swords. They will take away your sons and daughters, and a fire will burn up those who remain alive.
मेरो डाहको रिस तँतिर म फर्काउनेछु, र क्रोधमा उनीहरूले तँसित व्‍यवहार गर्नेछन्‌ । उनीहरूले तेरा नाक र कान काट्‌नेछन्, र तेरा बाँचेकाहरू तरवारले ढल्‍नेछन्‌ । उनीहरूले तेरा छोराछोरीलाई लानेछन्, र तेरा बाँचेकाहरूलाई आगोले भस्‍म पार्नेछ ।
26 They will strip off your clothes and your fine jewelry and take them away.
उनीहरूले तेरा वस्‍त्र उतारेर तँलाई नाङ्गै बनाउनेछन्, र तेरा सबै गहना लैजानेछन्‌ ।
27 In that way, I will stop all the immoral behavior that began when you became a prostitute in Egypt. You will no longer desire to do those things, or think [what you did in] Egypt.’
यसरी तेरा लाजमर्दो व्यवहार र मिश्रदेशदेखि तैंले सुरु गरेका तेरा वेश्‍यावृत्तिका कामहरू तँबाट म हटाउनेछु । तैंले यी कुराहरूतिर आफ्‍ना कुदृष्‍टि लगाउनेछैनस्‌, र मिश्रदेशको सम्‍झना फेरि तैंले गर्नेछैनस्‌ ।'
28 This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘I am about to allow those whom you hate, those you became disgusted with and turned away from, to capture you.
किनभने परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः 'हेर्, म तँलाई उनीहरूकै हातमा दिनेछु, जसलाई तँ घृणा गर्छेस्, उनीहरूकै हातमा जसबाट तँ टाढा भएकी थिइस् ।
29 They will be cruel and take away everything that you have worked hard to acquire. They will leave you completely naked [DOU], and everyone will see that you truly are a prostitute.
उनीहरूले तँसित घृणापूर्वक व्‍यवहार गर्नेछन् । तेरा सबै धन-सम्‍पत्ति उनीहरूले लानेछन्‌, र तँलाई नाङ्गो र उजाड पारेर छोड्‌नेछन् । अनि तँ कामुक र वेश्‍यावृत्तिमा संलग्‍न हुँदा भएझैं तँलाई नाङ्गो पारिनेछ ।
30 It is because of what you have done that you will be punished like that; you have been an immoral prostitute; you have had sex with men of other nations, and you have caused yourselves to become unacceptable to me [worshiping] their idols.
वेश्‍याले झैं तैंले काम गरेको, जातिहरूसँग कामुक भएको, उनीहरूका मूर्तिहरूद्वारा तँ अशुद्ध भएको हुनाले यी कुराहरू तँलाई हुनेछेन् ।
31 You have behaved [the people of Samaria, who are like] your [older] sister. So I will cause you to be punished [MET] like they were punished.’
तँ आफ्‍नी दिदीकै चालमा हिंडेकी छेस्‌, यसैले त्‍यसको दण्‍डको कचौरा म तेरो हातमा दिनेछु ।'
32 This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘[You will suffer like people suffer when they drink from a cup a lot of strong alcoholic drink]: [It will be as though] you will drink from the cup that the people of Samaria drank from; a big and tall cup. Because of your drinking what is in that cup, many people will scorn you and make fun of you because there is a lot of liquid in that cup.
परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छ, ‘तैंले तेरी दिदीको कचौरा पिउनेछस्, जो ठुलो र गहिरो छ । तँ गिल्‍ला पात्र र हाँसोको विषय हुनेछेस्— यो कचौरामा धेरै अट्छ ।
33 When you become very drunk, you will become very sad, [drinking what is in] that cup [MTY] will cause you to become ruined and deserted, like what happened [MET] to [the people of] Samaria, [who are like] [MET] your sister.
मतवालापन र दुःखले, त्रास र विनाशको कचौराले तँ पूर्ण हुनेछेस्‌ । तेरी दिदी सामरियाको कचौरा ।
34 You will drink all the liquid that is in that cup; then you will break that cup into pieces [use those pieces to] gash/cut your [because you will be very sad].’ [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
तैंले त्यो पिउनेछेस् र त्‍यसलाई रित्तो पार्नेछेस् । त्यसपछि तैंले त्‍यो कचौरा टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नेछेस्, र ती टुक्राले आफ्‍ना स्‍तनहरू काट्नेछेस् । किनकि मैले नै यो घोषणा गरेको हुँ— यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो ।'
35 Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘Because you have forgotten me and rejected me [IDM], you must be punished for your immoral behavior and for [like] a prostitute.’”
यसकारण परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छ, ‘तैंले मलाई बिर्सेको र मलाई तेरो पछाडि फालेको छस्, यसैले आफ्‍नो लज्‍जास्‍पद व्‍यवहार र यौनको अनैतिक कामहरूका दुष्‍परिणामहरू तैंले सहनुपर्नेछ' ।”
36 Yahweh said to me, “You human, you must [RHQ] [the people of those two cities represented by] Oholah and Oholibah. You must remind them of their detestable behavior:
परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “ए मानिसको छोरो, के तैंले ओहोला र ओहोलिबाको न्‍याय गर्नेछस्? त्‍यसैले तिनीहरूका घृणित कामहरूका तिनीहरूलाई विरोध गर,
37 [It is as though the people of those cities] have committed adultery and have murdered [MTY] people. They have been unfaithful to me by [worshiping] idols. They have even sacrificed their own children, who belonged to me, to be food for their idols.
किनकि तिनीहरूले व्‍यभिचार गरेका छन्, र तिनीहरूका हातहरूमा रगत छ । तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना मूर्तिहरूसित व्‍यभिचार गरे, र तिनीहरूका मूर्तिहरूका प्रसादको रूपमा तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना छोराहरूलाई आगोबाट हिंड्न पनि लगाएका छन् ।
38 They have done [disgraceful things]: They have caused my temple to be an unacceptable place for worship, and have not respected the Sabbath days.
त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले अहिले निरन्तर मलाई यसो गर्छन्‌: तिनीहरूले मेरो पवित्रस्‍थानलाई अशुद्ध पार्छन्, र त्यसै दिनमा तिनीहरूले मेरा शबाथहरूलाई अपवित्र पार्छन् ।
39 On the same day that they sacrificed their children to their idols, they entered my temple, which caused it to be an unacceptable place for worshiping me.
किनभने तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना छोराछोरीलाई आफ्‍ना मूर्तिहरूका निम्‍ति बलि चढाएका, अनि त्‍यसै दिन तिनीहरू मेरो पवित्रस्‍थानलाई अशुद्ध पार्न त्‍यसभित्र आए । यसैले हेर्, तिनीहरूले मेरो मन्‍दिरको बिचमा यसो गरेका छन् ।
40 They sent messages to men [in countries] far away. And when those men arrived, [the women of those two cities] bathed themselves for them, painted their eyebrows, and put on jewelry.
अब हेर— दूतहरूले पठाएका टाढाबाट आएका मानिसहरूलाई तैंले बोलाईस् । तिनीहरू साँच्‍चै आए जसका निम्‍ति तैंले नुहाईस्, आँखामा गाजल लगाईस् र आफूलाई गहनाले सिंगारिस्‌ ।
41 They sat on a beautiful couch, with a table in front of it on which they had put incense and [olive] oil that belonged to me.
त्यहाँ तँ एउटा सुन्‍दर पलङ्गमा बसिस्, र त्‍यसको अगाडि सजाइएको टेबलमा मेरो धूप र मेरो तेल राखिस्‌ ।
42 Soon there was a noisy crowd around them. Among the crowd there were men from Sheba who had come from the [of Arabia]. They put bracelets on the arms of the [two] sisters and put beautiful crowns on their heads.
यसैले हल्ला गर्ने भीड त्यसको वरिपरी थियो । तिनमा सबै किसिमका मानिसहरू, यतिसम्म कि उजाड-स्‍थानबाट साबीहरू पनि ल्याइए, र उनीहरूले आफ्‍ना हातमा चुराहरू लगाए र शिरमा सुन्दर मुकुटहरू लगाए ।
43 Then I said about the woman who had become exhausted by her having sex with many men, ‘Now allow those men to act toward her as though she is a prostitute, because that is all that she is.’
तब व्‍भिचारले दिक्‍क भएकी स्‍त्रीको विषयमा मैले यसो भनें, 'अब उनीहरू त्‍यससँग यौनका अनैतिक काम गर्नेछन्, र त्यसले उनीहरूसँग गर्नेछे ।’
44 So they had sex [EUP] with those two women, Oholah and Oholibah, like men have sex with prostitutes.
जसरी मानिसहरू एउटी वेश्याकहाँ जान्‍छन् त्‍यसरी उनीहरू त्‍यसकहाँ गए र त्‍यससँग सुते । यसरी उनीहरू ती अनैतिक स्‍त्रीहरू, ओहोला र ओहोलिबासित सुते ।
45 But righteous men will condemn them to be punished, like women who commit adultery and who murder others are punished, because those women commit adultery and they murder [MTY] others.
तर धार्मिक मानिसहरूले न्‍याय गर्नेछन् र व्‍यभिचारिणीहरूका रूपमा तिनीहरूलाई दण्‍ड दिनेछन् अनि हत्‍या गर्नेहरूलाई सुनाउने दण्‍डले तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई दण्‍ड दिनेछन्, किनभने तिनीहरू व्‍यभिचारिणीहरू हुन्‌ र तिनीहरूका हातमा हत्‍याको रगत छ ।
46 So this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: Bring a mob to attack Samaria and Jerusalem, and allow that mob to cause the people of those cities to be terrified, and to rob them.
यसैले परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः म तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा एउटा भीड खडा गर्नेछु र तिनीहरूलाई त्रास र लूटमा सुम्‍पिदिनेछु ।
47 The mob will throw stones at [to kill them]; they will cut them into pieces with their swords, they will kill their sons and daughters, and burn down their houses.
तब त्यो भीडले तिनीहरूलाई ढुङ्गाले हान्‍नेछन्, र उनीहरूका तरवारले तिनीहरूलाई खत्तम पार्नेछन् । तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीलाई उनीहरूले मार्नेछन्‌ र तिनीहरूका घरहरू जलाउनेछन्‌ ।
48 In that way I will cause them to stop their immoral behavior. It will warn other women to not imitate/do what you people of Jerusalem are doing.
किनकि देशबाट लज्‍जास्‍पद व्‍यवहारलाई म खतम गर्नेछु, र सबै स्‍त्रीलाई अनुशासनमा ल्याउनेछु ताकि तिनीहरू फेरि वेश्याको जस्तो काम नगरून् ।
49 [people of Jerusalem] will be punished for your immoral behavior and for your worshiping idols. Then you will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
यसरी उनीहरूले तेरा लाजमर्दा व्यवहारहरू तेरै विरूद्धमा खडा गर्नेछन् । तैंले आफ्‍ना मूर्तिहरूसित गरेका पापको दोष तैंले भोग्‍नेछेस्‌, र यसरी म नै परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर हुँ भनी तैंले जान्‍नेछेस् ।
