Hosea 7
1 “and when I wanted to heal them [again], [I did not do it, ] [because] I saw the wicked things that [the people of] Samaria [city] and [other places in] Israel [DOU] have done. They constantly deceive others; bandits rob people in the streets.
मैले इस्राएललाई निको पार्ने इच्छा गर्दा, एफ्राइमको पाप र सामरियाका दुष्ट कामहरू प्रकट हुन्छन्, किनकि तिनीहरू धोकापूर्ण काम गर्छन् । एक जना चोर भित्र प्रवेश गर्छ, र डाँकूहरूको समुहले सडकमा आक्रमण गर्छ ।
2 But they do not realize that I do not forget all the evil things that they do. [It is as though] they are surrounded by [all] the sins that they commit; and [it is though] those sins are [always right] in front of me [MTY].
तिनीहरूका सबै दुष्ट कामलाई मैले याद गर्छु, भनी तिनीहरूले आफ्नो हृदयहरूमा महसुस नै गर्दैनन् । अब तिनीहरूका कामहरूले तिनीहरूलाई नै घेर्छन् । ती मेरो अनुहारको सामु छन् ।
3 Their king is delighted with the wicked things that the people do; his officials are happy about the people’s lies.
तिनीहरूले आफ्ना दुष्टताले राजालाई, र आफ्ना झुटले अधिकारीहरूलाई खुशी बनाउँछन् ।
4 [The king and his officials] are all treacherous. [They are always eager to do wicked things; ] they are like [SIM] an oven that is [very] hot: a baker mixes the dough and waits for it to expand, and he does not [need to] cause the oven to become hotter.
रोटी बनाउनेले तताएको तावाजस्तै, जसले पिठो मुछेर नफुलेसम्म आगो बाल्दैन, तिनीहरू सबै व्यभिचारीहरू हुन् ।
5 The king and his officials get very drunk during their festivals, carousing with others who also do foolish things.
हाम्रा राजाको दिनमा अधिकारीहरूले आफैंलाई दाखमद्यको मातले बिरामी पार्छन् । ठट्टा गर्नेहरूसँग उसले आफ्नो हात मिलायो ।
6 The officials angrily plan to murder the king; it is like [SIM] they have an oven in their inner beings. All during the night their [eagerness/wanting to murder the king] is like a fire that is smouldering, but in the morning it becomes like [MET] a roaring fire.
किनकि एउटा तावाजस्तो हृदयहरूले, तिनीहरू आफ्ना छलपूर्ण योजना बनाउँछन् । तिनीहरूको रिस रातभरि दन्किन्छ । बिहान त्यो ज्वालामय आगोझैं बल्दछ ।
7 All those officials are like [MET] hot flames that completely burn up their rulers, so all their kings are murdered, and no one pleads with me [to help them].”
तिनीहरू सबै तावाजस्तै तातो छन्, र आफूमाथि शासन गर्नेलाई तिनीहरू भस्म पार्छन् । तिनीहरूका सबै राजा पतित भएका छन् । तीमध्ये कसैले मलाई पुकारा गर्दैनन् ।
8 “[The leaders of] Israel join with leaders of [godless] nations; so [the leaders of] Israel are [as worthless as] a pancake that is cooked on only one side.
एफ्राइमले आफैंलाई अरू मानिसहरूसँग मिसाएको छ । नफर्काइएको रोटीजस्तै एफ्राइम छ ।
9 Joining with the rulers of foreign nations has caused Israel to be a weak [nation], but the Israelis do not realize that. Israel has become [like] [MET] a gray-haired old man, but the people of Israel do not realize it.
परदेशीहरूले उसको शक्तिलाई नष्ट गरेको छ, तर उसलाई त्यो थाहा नै छैन । उसमा यताउता केश फुलेका छन्, तर उसलाई त्यो थाहा छैन ।
10 Their being proud [PRS] testifies against them, but in spite of that, they do not return to [me], Yahweh, their God, or [even] try to know me.
इस्राएलको घमण्डले आफ्नै विरुद्ध गवाही दिन्छ, तापनि तिनीहरू परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरतिर फर्केका छैनन्, न त यी सबै कुरापछि पनि तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई खोजेका छन् ।
11 [The people of] Israel have become foolish and stupid like [SIM] doves. [First] they called out to Egypt [to help them], [and then] they sought help from Assyria.
एफ्राइमचाहिं सजिलै छकाउन सकिने र विवेकहीन ढुकुरजस्तो छ, मिश्रदेशलाई पुकारा गर्दैछ, त्यसपछि अश्शूरतिर उड्दैछ ।
12 But wherever they go [to get help], [I will not allow them to succeed]; [it will be as though] [MET] I will throw a net over them like [SIM] [a hunter uses a net to capture] birds; I will punish them for the evil things that they do.
जब तिनीहरू जान्छन्, तब तिनीहरूमाथि म आफ्नो जाल फैलाउनेछु, आकाशका चराहरूझैं तिनीहरूलाई म तल खसाल्नेछु । तिनीहरू एकसाथ जम्मा हुँदा म तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनेछु ।
13 Terrible things will happen to them because they abandoned/deserted me! They will be destroyed because they rebelled against me. I wanted to rescue them, but they tell lies about me.
तिनीहरूलाई धिक्कार छ! किनकि तिनीहरू मबाट टाढा बहकिएका छन् । तिनीहरूमाथि विनाश आउँदै छ! तिनीहरूले मेरो विरुद्ध विद्रोह गरेका छन्! मैले तिनीहरूलाई बचाउन सक्थें, तर तिनीहरूले मेरो विरुद्धमा झुट बोले ।
14 They do not cry out to me sincerely [IDM]; they [only] lie on their beds and wail. They gather together and ask [me to give them] grain and wine, but they turn away from me.
आफ्ना सारा हृदयले, तिनीहरूले मसँग पुकारा गरेका छैनन्, तर आफ्ना ओछ्यानमा तिनीहरू विलाप गर्छन् । अन्न, र नयाँ दाखमद्यको निम्ति तिनीहरू एकसाथ भेला हुन्छन्, र तिनीहरू मबाट टाढा जान्छन् ।
15 I trained/taught them and enabled them to become strong, but now they plan [to do] evil things to me.
मैले तिनीहरूलाई तालिम दिएँ र तिनीहरूका पाखुराहरूलाई सशक्त बनाएँ, तापनि अहिले तिनीहरू मेरो विरुद्धमा नै खराब षड्यन्त्र रच्छन् ।
16 They have rejected me, their Great God, and turned to their god Baal; they are [as useless] as [SIM] a crooked bow. Their leaders boast [that they are very strong], but they will be killed by [their enemies’] swords. As a result, [the people of] Egypt will laugh at them.”
तिनीहरू फर्कन्छन्, तर म, अर्थात् सर्वोच्चतिर भने फर्कंदैनन् । तिनीहरू धोका दिने धनुझैं छन् । आफ्ना जिब्रोको निर्लज्जताका कारणले, तिनीहरूका अधिकारीहरू तरवारले मारिनेछन् । मिश्रदेशमा यही तिनीहरूको उपहास हुनेछ ।
