< Hosea 8 >
1 [Yahweh said to me], “Blow [MTY] your trumpet [to warn the people]! My people have rejected the agreement that I made with them, and they have rebelled against [obeying] my laws. Therefore, [their enemies] are swooping down on my people’s country like [SIM] an eagle.
“तुरही फुक्न तयार होओ! परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमाथि एउटा गरुड आउँदैछ, किनभने मानिसहरूले मेरो करार भङ्ग गरेका छन्, र मेरो व्यवस्थाको विरुद्ध बागी भएका छन् ।
2 My Israeli people cry out to me, ‘Our God, we know that you are our God!’
तिनीहरू मलाई पुकारा गर्छन्, ‘हे मेरा परमेश्वर, इस्राएलीमा हामी तपाईंलाई चिन्दछौं ।’
3 But because the Israeli people have rejected what is good, their enemies will pursue them.
तर इस्राएलले जे असल छ त्यो इन्कार गरेको छ, र सत्रुले त्यसलाई खेद्नेछ ।
4 The Israel people appointed [their last three] kings, but they did not ask me if I agreed to [what they were doing]. They chose their own leaders without asking if I would approve of them. They used their own silver and gold to make for themselves idols, and doing that led them to be destroyed.
मैले नचुनेका राजाहरूलाई, तिनीहरूले स्थापित गरेका छन् । तिनीहरूले मलाई नसोधी राजकुमारहरू नियुक्त गरेका छन् । आफ्ना चाँदी र सुनले, आफ्नै निम्ति तिनीहरूले मूर्तिहरू बनाएका छन्, तर तिनीहरूको विनाश हुनलाई नै यसो भयो ।”
5 You people of Samaria, throw away your [idol that resembles a] calf! I am extremely angry with you people! How long [RHQ] will you [do things that cause] you to be unacceptable to me?
“ए समारिया, तेरो बाछो तिरस्कृत भएको छ । यी मानिसहरूका विरूद्धमा मेरो क्रोध जल्दैछ । किनकि कहिलेसम्म तिनीहरू दोषी रहनेछन्?
6 [Someone in] Israel made that idol for you; [but I am] God and it is not. So that idol of a calf in Samaria must be smashed to pieces.
किनकि यो मूर्ति इस्राएलबाट आएको हो । एउटा कारिगरले त्यो बनायो । त्यो परमेश्वर होइन! सामरियाको बाछोलाइ टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिनेछ ।
7 [The foolish thing that the people of Israel have done is like] [MET] trying to plant wind; but what they harvest will be like [MET] a whirlwind. So the grain that they planted will have no heads [on the stalks], and as a result [there will be no grain] from which to make flour. And if it did produce good grain, foreigners would [come and] steal it.
किनकि मानिसहरूले बतास छर्छन्, र आँधिको कटनी गर्छन् । खडा बालीमा बालाहरू छैनन्, र त्यसले केही फसल दिंदैन । त्यसमा फसल लाग्यो भने, परदेशीहरूले त्यो सखाप पार्नेछन् ।
8 [The people of] Israel will be defeated [MET] [by their enemies]; they will be [scattered] among other nations and become worthless.
इस्राएल निलिएको छ । अब जातिहरूमा बिचमा ती काम नलाग्ने वस्तुझैं रहन्छन् ।
9 Like [MET] donkeys that are looking for mates, they have requested [help] from Assyria; they paid money to [the leaders of Assyria] in order to [persuade those leaders to] protect them.
किनकि वन-गधा एक्लै गएझैं, तिनीहरू अश्शूरसम्म गए । एफ्राइमले आफ्नै निम्ति प्रेमीहरू नियुक्त गरेको छ ।
10 But although they have agreed to pay money each year to [the leaders of] those countries, I will soon gather them together [to punish them]. The great King [of Assyria] will cause them to suffer greatly.
तिनीहरूले जातिहरूका बिचमा प्रेमीहरू नियुक्त गरे तापनि, अब तिनीहरूलाई म एकसाथ भेला गराउनेछु । राजकुमारहरूका राजाको दमनको कारणले, तिनीहरू दुःखी हुन लाग्नेछन् ।
11 Although [the people of] Israel built many altars to present offerings [to their idols] to take away [their guilt for] sinning, those altars have become places where they commit [more] sins.
किनकि पापबलिहरूका निम्ति एफ्राइमले वेदीहरूको सङ्ख्या बढाएका छन्, तर झन् पाप गर्ने वेदीहरू ती भएका छन् ।
12 I wrote many laws for them, but they disregarded them, saying that [they did not have to obey them because] they were different from laws that they had known previously.
तिनीहरूका निम्ति मैले आफ्नो व्यवस्थालाई दस हजारपल्ट लेखे पनि, तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई कुनै नयाँ कुराजस्तो गरी हेर्छन् ।
13 They offer sacrifices to me, and they eat [some of] the meat of those sacrifices, [which is what I permitted them to do]. But I, Yahweh, am not pleased with those sacrifices. I remember the evil things that they have done, and I will punish them for the sins that they have committed: I will force them to [go to other countries] [and become slaves like they were] [MET] in Egypt.
मेरा भेटीहरूका बलिदानको बारेमा, तिनीहरूले मासु चढाउँछन् र त्यो खान्छन्, तर म, परमप्रभुले त्यो ग्रहण गर्दिनँ । अब म तिनीहरूका अधर्मका बारेमा विचार गर्नेछु, र तिनीहरूका पापलाई दण्ड दिनेछु । तिनीहरू मिश्रदेशमा फर्कनेछन् ।
14 [The people of] Israel have abandoned/forgotten me, the one who created their [nation]; they have built palaces, and [the people of] Judah have built walls around many towns. But I will send a fire that will destroy all their cities and their fortresses.”
इस्राएलले आफ्ना सृष्टिकर्ता, मलाई बिर्सेको छ, र दरबारहरू बनाएका छ । यहूदाले धेरै सहरहरूलाई किल्लाबन्दी गरेको छ, तर त्यसका सहरहरूमा म आगो पठाउनेछु, र त्यसले उसका किल्लाहरू भष्म पार्नेछ ।
