Micah 7
1 I am very miserable/frustrated! I am like [SIM] someone who is hungry, [who searches for fruit to pick] after all the fruit had been picked and who finds no grapes or figs to eat.
हाय म! म ग्रीष्म ऋतुमा बटुलिएको फलझैँ भएको छु, र रस निकालिएको दाखझैँ भएको छु । त्यहाँ खानलाई दाखको झुप्पा छैन, र मेरो प्राणले इच्छा गरेकोजस्तो पहिले नै पाकेको अन्जीर पनि छैन ।
2 [All] the godly people have disappeared from this land; there is not one of them left. [The people who are left] are all murderers [MTY]; [it is as though] everyone is eager to kill his fellow countryman.
भुमिबाट विश्वसनीय मानिसहरू बिलिन भएका छन् । सारा मानवजातिमा कोही सोझो मानिस छैन । तिनीहरू सबै रक्तपातको निम्ति पर्खिरहन्छन् । हरेकले आफ्नो दाजुभाइलाई जालले शिकार गर्दछ ।
3 They [all] use both hands to do what is evil. [Government] officials and judges [all] ask for bribes. Important people tell others what they want, and they plot/scheme together [about how to get it done].
तिनीहरूका हातहरू हानी गर्नलाई पोक्त छन् । शासकले पैसा माग्दछन्, न्यायकर्ता घूस लिनको निम्ति तयार छन्, र शक्तिशाली मानिसले आफूले प्राप्त गर्न चाहेको कुरा अरूहरूसँग माग्दछ । यसरी तिनीहरू एकसाथ षड्यन्त्र रच्छन् ।
4 [Even] the best people are [as worthless] [SIM] as briers; the people [who are considered by others to be] [IRO] the most honest are worse than clumps of thornbushes. But, [Yahweh] will soon judge them; now is the time that he will punish people, a time when they will be [very] confused [because of being defeated].
तिनीहरूमध्येको उत्कृष्टचाहिँ काँडाझैँ छ, सबैभन्दा सोझोचाहिँ काँडाको झाँगभन्दा पनि खराब छ । तिमीहरूका पहरेदारहरूले पहिले नै बताएको दिन, तिमीहरूको दण्डको दिन यही हो । अब यो तिनीहरूको भ्रमको समय हो ।
5 [So], do not trust anyone! Do not trust [even] a friend; [even] be careful what you say to your wife whom you love!
कुनै पनि छिमेकीमाथि विश्वास नगर्नू । कुनै साथिमाथि भरोसा नगर्नू । तिम्रा अङ्गालोमा बस्ने स्त्रीसँग पनि होसियारसँग बोल्नू ।
6 Boys will despise their fathers, and girls will defy their mothers. Women will defy their mothers-in-law. Your enemies will be those who live in your own houses.
किनभने छोरोले आफ्ना बुबाको अनादर गर्दछ, छोरी आफ्नी आमाको विरुद्धमा उठ्छे, र बुहारी सासूको विरुद्ध । मानिसको शत्रु आफ्नै घरका मानिसहरू हुन् ।
7 As for me, I wait for Yahweh [to help me]. I confidently expect that God, my Savior, will answer me [when I pray].
तर मचाहिँ परमप्रभुतर्फ आँखा लगाउँछु । म मेरो मुक्तिको परमेश्वरको पर्खाइमा छु, मेरा परमेश्वरले मलाई सुन्नुहुन्छ ।
8 You who are our enemies, do not gloat/rejoice about [what has happened to] us, [because even] if we have experienced disasters, [those disasters will end and] we will be restored. [Even] if [it is as though] we are sitting in the darkness, Yahweh will be our light.
ए मेरो शत्रु, मलाई देखेर रमाहट नगर् । म लडेपछि, फेरि उठ्नेछु । जब म अन्धकारमा बस्दछु, परमप्रभु मेरो निम्ति ज्योति हुनुहुनेछ ।
9 We must be patient while Yahweh punishes us because we have sinned against him. But later, [it will be as though] he will go to court and defend us, and he will make sure that the judge makes a right decision about us. [It will be as though] he will bring us out into the light, and we will see it when he rescues us.
मैले परमप्रभुको विरुद्ध पाप गरेको कारणले, उहाँले मेरो विषयमा वकालत नगर्नुभएसम्म, र मेरो निम्ति इन्साफ नगर्नुभएसम्म मैले उहाँको क्रोध सहनेछु ।
10 Our enemies will [also] see that, and they will be disgraced because they [ridiculed us], saying “Why is [RHQ] Yahweh, that God of yours, [not helping you]?” But with our own eyes we will see them when they are defeated; we will see them trampled like [SIM] mud in the streets.
अनि मेरो शत्रुले त्यो देख्नेछ, र “परमप्रभु तेरो परमेश्वर कहाँ छ?” भनेर भन्नेलाई शर्मले ढाक्नेछ । मेरा आँखाले त्यसलाई हेर्नेछन् । सडकहरूका माटोझैँ त्यो कुल्चिनेछे ।
11 [You people of Israel, ] at that time your cities will be rebuilt, and your territory will become larger.
तिमीहरूका पर्खालहरू निर्माण गर्ने दिन आउनेछ । त्यस दिनमा सिमानाहरू टाढा-टाढासम्म विस्तार हुनेछन् ।
12 [People from many countries will come to honor you]: people from Assyria and from [near] the [Euphrates] River [in the east] and from Egypt [in the south], from distant seas, and from many mountains.
त्यस दिन अश्शूर र मिश्रका शहरहरुबाट, मिश्रदेखि यूफ्रेटिस नदीसम्म, समुद्रदेखि समुद्रसम्म, र पर्वतदेखि पर्वतसम्म मानिसहरू तिमीहरूकहाँ आउनेछन् ।
13 But [the other countries on] the earth will become desolate because of the [evil] things that their people have done.
तर भुमि भने त्यसमा बसोबास गर्ने मानिसहरूका कारण, र तिनीहरूका कामका प्रतिफलको कारण उजाड हुनेछ ।
14 Yahweh, protect your people like [MET] [a shepherd protects his sheep] by using his walking stick; lead your people [MET] whom you have chosen to belong to you. [Even though some of them] live by themselves in a forest, give them the fertile pastureland in the Bashan and Gilead [regions] that they possessed long ago.
आफ्ना मानिसहरू, अर्थात् तपाईंका उत्तराधिकारको बगाललाई आफ्नो छडीले नियन्त्रण गर्नुहोस् । तिनीहरू एक्लै खर्कको बिचमा, र जङ्गलमा बस्छन् । पुराना दिनहरूमा झैँ तिनीहरूलाई बाशान र गिलादमा चर्न दिनुहोस् ।
15 [Yahweh says/replies], “[Yes], I will perform miracles for you like the miracles that I performed when I rescued your [ancestors] from [being slaves in] Egypt.”
मिश्रको भुमिबाट तिमीहरू बाहिर आएका दिनमा झैँ, म तिनीहरूलाई आश्चर्य कामहरू देखाउनेछु ।
16 [People from many] nations will see [what Yahweh does for you], and they will be ashamed because they do not have any power. They will put their hands over their mouths and their ears [because they will be very amazed because of what Yahweh does], [and they will not be able to say anything or hear anything].
जाति-जातिहरूले यो देख्नेछन् र आफ्ना शक्तिमाथि लज्जित हुनेछन् । तिनीहरूले केही बोल्नेछैनन्, र तिनीहरू बहिरा हुनेछन् ।
17 [Being very humiliated, ] they will crawl on the ground [MTY] like [SIM] snakes. They will come out of their homes trembling, and stand revering Yahweh our God. They will be very afraid of him, and will tremble in front of him.
तिनीहरूले सर्पले झैँ धुलो चाट्नेछन्, माटोमा घस्रने प्राणीझैँ तिनीहरूले गर्नेछन् । तिनीहरू आफ्ना गुफाहरूबाट डरसाथ निस्कनेछन् । परमप्रभु, हाम्रा परमेश्वर, तपाईंकहाँ तिनीहरू डरसाथ आउनेछन्, र तिनीहरू तपाईंको कारण भयभीत हुनेछन् ।
18 [Yahweh], there is no [RHQ] God like you; you forgive the sins [DOU] that were committed by the people who have survived, the people who belong to you. You do not remain angry forever; you are very happy [to show us] that you faithfully love [us].
तपाईंझैँ परमेश्वर को छ, जसले पापलाई मेटाउनुहुन्छ, र आफ्नो उत्तराधिकारका बाँकी रहेकाहरूको अपराध क्षमा गर्नुहुन्छ? उहाँ सदाको निम्ति रिसाउनुहुन्न, किनभने उहाँ आफ्नो करारको विश्वसनीयतामा खुशी हुनुहुन्छ ।
19 You will again act kindly/compassionately toward us. You will get rid of [the scroll on which you have written] the sins that we have committed [as though you were] trampling it under your feet or throwing it into the deep ocean.
तपाईंले फेरि हामीमाथि दया देखाउनुहुनेछ । तपाईंले हाम्रा अपराधहरूलाई आफ्ना पाऊमुनि कुल्चनुहुनेछ । तपाईंले हाम्रा सबै पापहरूललाई समुद्रको गहिराइमा फ्याँकिदिनुहुनेछ ।
20 You will show that you faithfully [do what you promised for us] and faithfully love us, just like you solemnly promised long ago to our ancestors Abraham and Jacob that you would do.
प्राचीन दिनहरूमा तपाईंले हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूसँग प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ तपाईंले याकूबलाई सत्यता र अब्राहामलाई करारको विश्वसनीयता दिनुहुनेछ ।
