Hosea 6
1 [The Israeli people say, ] “Come, let’s return to Yahweh! He has caused [us] to be injured, but he will heal us. He has caused [us] to be wounded, but [it is as though] he will put bandages on our wounds [MET].
“आओ, हामी परमप्रभुतर्फ फर्कौं । किनकि उहाँले हामीलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नुभएको छ, तर उहाँले हामीलाई निको पार्नुहुनेछ । उहाँले हामीलाई घाइते बनाउनुभएको छ, तर उहाँले हाम्रो घाउमा पट्टी लगाउनुहुनेछ ।
2 After a very short time he will revive us; in less than three days he will restore us in order that we may live in his presence.
दुई दिनपछि उहाँले हामीलाई पुनर्जीवित पार्नुहुनेछ । तेस्रो दिनमा उहाँले हामीलाई उठाउनुहुनेछ, र हामीहरू उहाँको सामु जिउनेछौं ।
3 We must try to know Yahweh; [if we do that, ] he will come [and help] us, as surely as the sun rises [every morning], as surely as rain falls every winter/cold season, and as surely as the rain falls again (in the springtime/at the end of the cold season).”
हामी परमप्रभुलाई चिनौं । परमप्रभुलाई चिन्नुपर्ने दवावमा हामी परौं । झिसमिसे बिहानीझैं उहाँको आगमन निश्चित छ । उहाँ हामीकहाँ झरीझैं, जमिनलाई भिजाउने बसन्त ऋतुको झरीझैं आउनुहुनेछ ।”
4 [But Yahweh knows they are insincere; ] [so he says to them, ] “You [people of] Israel, and you [people of] Judah, [I do not know] [RHQ] what I should do to you. Your being faithful [to me will disappear as quickly] as [SIM] the morning mist [disappears], like [SIM] the dew [on the ground] that disappears quickly [when the sun shines].
ए एफ्राइम, म तँलाई के गरूँ? ए यहूदा, म तँलाई के गरूँ? तेरो विश्वस्तता बिहानीको बादलझैं, चाँडै हराएर जाने शीतझैं छ ।
5 I warned [HYP] you by [the messages that I gave to] the prophets, [but you did not pay attention to my messages]. Therefore I will completely destroy you; the punishment that I give you will strike you like lightning.
यसैले तिनीहरूलाई मैले अगमवक्ताहरूद्वारा टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारेको छु, तिनीहरूलाई मैले आफ्नो मुखको वचनले मारेको छु । तिमीहरूका आदेशहरू चम्किने बिजुलीझैं छन् ।
6 I want [my people] to faithfully love [me] more than [I want them to offer] sacrifices [to me]; [I want them] to know me more than [I want them to] completely burn sacrifices [on the altar].
किनकि म बलिदान होइन, विश्वस्तता चाहन्छु, र होमबलिहरूभन्दा धैरे परमेश्वरको ज्ञान भएको चाहन्छु ।
7 But they have refused to obey my agreement, [just] like Adam did; they have not been faithful to me.
आदमले झैं तिनीहरूले करार तोडेका छन्, तिनीहरू मप्रति विश्वासहीन भएका छन् ।
8 Gilead is a city [full] of people who do wicked things; [in the streets] are the bloody footprints [of those who have murdered others].
गिलादचाहिं दुष्ट काम गर्नेहरूको सहर हो, जसका पाइलाहरूमा रगत छ ।
9 The priests are like [SIM] bandits who wait (in ambushes/along the road) to attack people; they murder [people who are walking] on the road to Shechem, and they commit other disgraceful crimes.
डाँकुहरूका समुहले कसैलाई पर्खिरहेझैं, शकेम जाने बाटोमा पुजारीहरू मार्नलाई समुहमा बस्छन् । तिनीहरूले लज्जास्पद अपराधहरू गरेका छन् ।
10 I have seen horrible things [being done] in Israel [MTY]. The people have abandoned me [like prostitutes who have abandoned their husbands] [MET]; [so the people of] Israel have become unacceptable to me.
इस्राएलको घरानामा मैले घिनलाग्दो कुरा देखेको छु । त्यहाँ एफ्राइमको वेश्यागमन छ, र इस्राएल अशुद्ध भएको छ ।
11 And you [people of] Judah, I have appointed a time when I will punish [MET] you, too. Whenever I wanted to enable my people to prosper again,”
ए यहूदा तेरो निम्ति पनि कटनी तोकिएको छ, जति बेला म आफ्ना मानिसहरूको सुदिन पुनर्स्थापना गर्नेछु ।
