< Hosea 5 >

1 “Listen, you priests! And you [other] Israeli people, you also pay attention! And you who are members of the king’s family, [you also need to] listen, because [I am going to] judge you! Your [worshiping idols] has been [like] [MET] a trap for [the people at] Mizpah [town]; it has been [like][MET] a net spread out [to catch people] at Tabor [Mountain].
“ए पुजारीहरू हो, यो कुरा सुन! ए इस्राएलको घराना, ध्यान देओ! ए राजाको घराना, सुन! किनकि तिमीहरू सबैका विरुद्ध न्‍याय आउँदैछ । तिमीहरू मिस्‍पामा पासो, र तबोरमाथि फैलिएको जाल भएका छौ ।
2 You have done many evil things, so I will punish all of you.
विद्रोहीहरू मारकाटमा साह्रै नै संलग्‍न हुन्‍छन्, तर म तिनीहरू सबैलाई दण्ड दिनेछु ।
3 I know [everything about the people of] Israel; nothing that they have done is hidden from me. Because [the people of] Israel have given themselves [to worshiping idols] like [MET] prostitutes [give themselves to the men they sleep with], they have become unacceptable to me.
एफ्राइम र इस्राएल मबाट लुकेका छैनन् भनी म जान्‍दछु । ए एफ्राइम, तँ अब वेश्‍याझैं भएको छस् । इस्राएल अपवित्र पारिएको छ ।
4 Because they [like to do evil] things, they will not return to [me], their God. Like prostitutes [who have abandoned their husbands] [MET], they have [IDM] abandoned [MET] me; they do not [even] know me, Yahweh.
तिनीहरूका कामहरूले तिनीहरूलाई परमेश्‍वरतर्फ फर्कन दिंदैनन्, किनकि तिनीहरूमा व्यभिचारको मन छ, र तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई चिन्दैनन् ।
5 [It is as though] their being proud testifies [PRS] against them. The sins that [the people of] Israel have committed [are like a heavy load that] causes them to stumble, and [the people of] Judah stumble with them.
इस्राएलको घमण्डले उसकै विरुद्ध गवाही दिन्छ । यसैले इस्राएल र एफ्राइम आफ्‍नै दोषमा ठेस खानेछन्, र यहूदा पनि तिनीहरूसँगै ठेस खानेछ ।
6 They will come to worship [me], Yahweh, bringing their herds of sheep and cattle, but they will not [be able to] find me, because I have abandoned them.
आफ्ना बगाल र बथानसँग परमप्रभुको खोजी गर्न तिनीहरू जानेछन्, तर तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई भेट्‍टाउने छैनन्, किनकि उहाँले आफैंलाई तिनीहरूबाट टाढा लानुभएको छ ।
7 They have abandoned me; and their children do not belong to me [MET]. So [they will not be able to celebrate their festivals at] the new moons [because I] will destroy them and [the crops in] their fields.
तिनीहरू परमप्रभुप्रति विश्‍वासघाती भए, किनकि तिनीहरूले अवैधानिक छोराछोरी जन्माएका छन् । अब औंसीका पर्वहरूले तिनीहरूका भूमिसँगै तिनीहरूलाई पनि निलिदिनेछ ।
8 Blow the [rams’] horns in Gibeah [town] [and blow] the trumpets in Ramah [town]! Warn [the people at] Beth-Aven [town]; you warriors of the tribe of Benjamin, lead the troops [into the battle].
गिबामा तुरही र रामामा बिगुल फुक । बेथ-आवनमा युद्ध-ध्वनि बजाओः ‘ए बेन्यामीन, हामी तेरो पछि लाग्‍छौं!’
9 Israel will be ruined on the day that [I] destroy them. What I am telling to the tribes of Israel will certainly [happen].
न्यायको दिनमा एफ्राइम निर्जन हुनेछ । इस्राएलका कुलहरू बिचमा निश्‍चय हुन आउने कुरा मैले घोषणा गरेको छु ।
10 [Because] the leaders of Judah [seized some land that belonged to Israel], they are like [SIM] those who move boundary markers [to get more land for themselves]; [so] I will punish them severely [MET].
यहूदाका अगुवाहरू त्‍यस्‍ता हुन् जसले सिमानाको ढुङ्गा सार्छ । पानी खन्याएझैं तिनीहरूमाथि म आफ्‍नो क्रोध खन्याउनेछु ।
11 And [the people of] Israel will suffer greatly when I punish them, because they are [very] determined to worship idols.
एफ्राइम कुल्चिएको छ, त्यो न्यायमा कुल्चिएको छ, किनभने त्यो आफ्नै इच्‍छामा मूर्तिहरूको पछि लागेको छ ।
12 I will destroy [the people of] Israel like [SIM] ([larvae of] moths/cockroaches) destroy wool, and I will cause [the people of] Judah to be like [SIM] rotten wood.
यसैले एफ्राइमको निम्ति म कपडा काट्ने किराझैं हुनेछु र यहूदाको घरानाको निम्ति सडाउने कुराझैं हुनेछु ।
13 When [the leaders of] Israel and Judah saw that the people were suffering because of what [their enemies were doing to them] [MET], they sent [messages] to the great King of Assyria requesting [his help]. But he cannot help you; he cannot cause you to stop suffering, [because I am the one who is punishing Israel and Judah].
जब एफ्राइमले आफ्नो रोग देख्‍यो, र यहूदाले आफ्नो घाउ देख्‍यो, तब एफ्राइम अश्‍शूरमा गयो, र यहूदाले महान् राजाकहाँ सन्देशवाहक पठायो । तर त्यसले तेरा मानिसहरूलाई निको पार्न वा तिमीहरूका घाउ निको पार्न सकेन ।
14 I will become like [SIM] a lion [DOU] to both nations; I will [attack them and] tear them to pieces. I will drag them away, and no one will [be able to] rescue them.
यसैले एफ्राइमको निम्ति म सिंहझैं हुनेछु, र यहूदाको घरानाको निम्ति जवान सिंहझैं हुनेछु । मैले नै तिनीहरूलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नेछु र जानेछु । म तिनीहरूलाई बोकेर लानेछु, र तिनीहरूलाई बचाउने कोही पनि हुनेछैन ।
15 [After that], I will return to my place [in heaven] until they admit that they have sinned [MTY] and return to me; when they will experience [many] troubles, they will request me [to help them].”
तिनीहरूले आफ्ना दोष स्‍वीकार गरेर मेरो खोजी नगरेसम्म, र आफ्‍ना दु: खको समयमा मलाई तत्परतासाथ नखोजेसम्म, म जानेछु र आफ्नै ठाउँमा फर्कनेछु ।”
