< Micah 3 >

1 And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel: [Is it] not for you to know judgment?
मैले भनेँ, “अब सुन, ए याकूबका अगुवाहरू र इस्राएलका घरानाका शासकहरू, के इन्साफलाई बुझ्नु तिमीहरूका निम्ति ठिक होइन र?
2 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from them, and their flesh from off their bones;
तिमीहरू जसले असल कुरालाई घृणा गर्छौ र दुष्‍टलाई रुचाउँछौ, तिमीहरू जसले तिनीहरूका छालालाई काढ्‍दछौ, र तिनीहरूका हड्‍डीबाट मासुलाई अलग गर्दछौ,
3 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
तिमीहरु जसले मेरा मानिसहरूका मासु खान्छौ, र तिनीहरूका छाला काढ्छौ, तिनीहरूका हड्‍डी भाँच्‍छौ, र तिनीहरूलाई भाँडोमा राख्‍ने मासु, र खड्कुँलोमा पकाउने मासुझैँ टुक्रा-टुक्रा गर्दछौ ।
4 Then shall they cry to the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
त्यसपछि तिमी शासकहरूले परमप्रभुलाई पुकार्नेछौ, तर उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई जवाज दिनुहुनेछैन । त्यस बेला उहाँले आफ्नो मुहार तिमीहरूदेखि लुकाउनुहुनेछ किनभने तिमीहरूले दुष्‍ट कामहरू गरेका छौ ।”
5 Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him:
परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “मेरा मानिसहरूलाई गलत मार्गमा हिँडाउने अगमवक्ताहरू, कसैले तिनीहरूलाई केही खान दिए भने, तिनीहरू ‘शान्ति होस्’ भनेर घोषणा गर्दछन् । तर यदि त्यसले तिनीहरूलाई केही खान दिएन भने, तिनीहरू त्यसको विरुद्ध युद्ध गर्नको निम्ति लागिपर्दछन् ।
6 Therefore night [shall be] to you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark to you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
यसैकारण, तिमीहरूका निम्ति त्यो दर्शनविनाको रात हुनेछ । अनि त्यो यस्तो अन्धकार हुनेछ, कि तिमीहरूले कुनै भविष्यवाणी गर्नेछैनौ । अगमवक्ताहरूका निम्ति सूर्य अस्ताउनेछ, र तिनीहरूमाथि दिन पनि अन्धकार हुनेछ ।
7 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yes, they shall all cover their lips; for [there is] no answer of God.
दर्शन देख्‍नेहरू शर्ममा पर्नेछन्, र भविष्यवक्ताहरू भ्रमित हुनेछन् । तिनीहरू सबैले आफ्ना मुख छोप्‍नेछन्, किनभने मबाट कुनै जवाफ आउनेछैन ।”
8 But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
तर याकूबलाई त्यसको अपराध र इस्राएललाई त्यसको पापको घोषणा गर्न मचाहिँ परमप्रभुको आत्माद्वारा शक्ति, न्याय र पराक्रमले भरिपूर्ण छु ।
9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity.
अब, न्यायलाई घृणा गर्ने, र सबै असल कुरालाई भ्रष्‍ट गर्ने ए याकूबका घरानाका अगुवाहरू, र इस्राएलका घरानाका शासकहरू, यो सुन ।
10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
तिमीहरूले सियोनलाई रगतद्धारा र यरूशलेमलाई अधर्मद्धारा निर्माण गर्छौ ।
11 Her heads judge for reward, and her priests teach for hire, and her prophets divine for money; yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, [Is] not the LORD among us? no evil can come upon us.
तिमीहरूका अगुवाहरूले घुस खाएर न्याय गर्छन्, तिमीहरूका पुजारीहरूले मोलको निम्ति शिक्षा दिन्छन्, र तिमीहरूका अगमवक्ताहरूले पैसाको निम्ति अगमवाणी बोल्दछन् । तथापि तिमीहरू परमप्रभुमा भर पर्छौ र भन्छौ, “के परमप्रभु हामीसँग हुनुहुन्‍न? हामीमाथि कुनै खराबी आइपर्नेछैन ।”
12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed [as] a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.
यसैकारण, तिमीहरूको कारण, सियोन जोतिएको खेतझैँ हुनेछ, यरूशलेम भग्‍नावशेषको थुप्रो हुनेछ, र मन्दिरको डाँडाचाहिँ घना जङ्गल हुनेछ ।
