Zechariah 7
1 In the fourth year of King Darius, the LORD’s word came to Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Chislev.
दारा राजाले चार वर्ष शासन गरिसकेपछि, किसलेव (अर्थात् नवौँ महिना) को चौथो दिनमा, परमप्रभुको वचन जकरियाकहाँ आयो ।
2 The people of Bethel sent Sharezer and Regem Melech and their men to entreat the LORD’s favour,
बेथेलका मानिसहरूले शरेसेर र रेगेम-मेलक र तिनीहरूका मानिसहरूलाई परमप्रभुको सामु बिन्ती गर्न पठाए ।
3 and to speak to the priests of the house of the LORD of Armies and to the prophets, saying, “Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?”
तिनीहरूले सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुका भवनमा भएका पुजारीहरू र अगमवक्ताहरूलाई यस्तो भने, “मैले बितेका वर्षहरूमा गर्आएकोझैँ, के म पाचौँ महिनामा उपवास बसेर विलाप गरूँ?”
4 Then the word of the LORD of Armies came to me, saying,
यसैकारण सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुको यस्तो वचन मकहाँ आयो,
5 “Speak to all the people of the land and to the priests, saying, ‘When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month for these seventy years, did you at all fast to me, really to me?
“भूमिका सबै मानिसहरू र पुजारीहरूलाई यस्तो भन्, ‘यी सत्तरी वर्षसम्म तिमीहरूले पाचौँ र सातौँ महिनामा उपवास बस्दा र विलाप गर्दा, के तिमीहरू साँच्चै मेरो निम्ति उपवास बसिरहेका थियौ?
6 When you eat and when you drink, don’t you eat for yourselves and drink for yourselves?
तिमीहरूले खाँदा र पिउँदा, के तिमीहरूले आफ्नै निम्ति खाएनौ र आफ्नै निम्ति पिएनौ?
7 Aren’t these the words which the LORD proclaimed by the former prophets when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and its cities around her, and the South and the lowland were inhabited?’”
तिमीहरू यरूशलेम र आसपासका सहरहरूमा सम्पन्नतामाबसोबास गरिरहँदा र तिमीहरू नेगेव, र पश्चिमका पहाडहरूको फेदमा अवस्थित हुँदा, के अगिल्ला अगमवक्ताहरूका मुखबाट परमप्रभुले घोषणा गर्नुभएका वचन यी नै थिएनन् र?’”
8 The LORD’s word came to Zechariah, saying,
परमप्रभुको यस्तो वचन जकरियाकहाँआयो,
9 “Thus has the LORD of Armies spoken, saying, ‘Execute true judgement, and show kindness and compassion every man to his brother.
“सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्नुहुन्छ, ‘साँचो न्याय, करारको विश्वसनीयता, र अनुग्रहद्वारा इन्साफ गर । हरेक मानिसले आफ्नो दाजुभाइको निम्ति यस्तो गरोस् ।
10 Don’t oppress the widow, the fatherless, the foreigner, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.’
विधवा र टुहुरा, परदेशी, र गरिब मानिसमाथिअत्याचार नगर, र कसैले पनि आफ्नो हृदयमा अर्काको विरुद्ध खराबीको योजना नबनाओस् ।’
11 But they refused to listen, and turned their backs, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.
तर तिनीहरूले ध्यान दिएनन् र हठी भएर आफ्नो पीठ फर्काए । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कान थुने र केही पनि सुनेनन् ।
12 Yes, they made their hearts as hard as flint, lest they might hear the law and the words which the LORD of Armies had sent by his Spirit by the former prophets. Therefore great wrath came from the LORD of Armies.
व्यवस्था वा सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुको वचन नसुन्नको निम्ति तिनीहरूले आफ्ना हृदयलाई चट्टानझैँ कडा बनाए । पहिलेका समयमा, उहाँले यी सन्देशहरू आफ्ना मानिसहरूकहाँ आफ्नो आत्माद्वारा, अगमवक्ताहरूका ओठद्वारा पठाउनुभयो । तर ती मानिसहरूले सुन्न इन्कार गरे, यसैकारण सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु तिनीहरूसँग धेरै रिसाउनुभयो ।
13 It has come to pass that, as he called and they refused to listen, so they will call and I will not listen,” said the LORD of Armies;
उहाँले बोलाउनुहुँदा, तिनीहरूले सुनेनन् । त्यसरी नै तिनीहरूले मेरो पुकारा गर्नेछन्, तर म त्यो सुन्नेछैनँ,” सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ ।
14 “but I will scatter them with a whirlwind amongst all the nations which they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned; for they made the pleasant land desolate.”
“किनकि म आँधीबेहरीद्वारा तिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूले नदेखेकाजातिहरूका बिचमा तितर-बितर पार्नेछु, र तिनीहरूपछि त्यो भूमि निर्जन हुनेछ । किनकि कोही पनि त्यो देशबाट भएर जानेछैन न त कोही त्यहाँ फर्कनेछ किनभने मानिसहरूले आफ्नो सुन्दर भूमिलाई उजाड बनाएका छन् ।”
