< Amos 8 >

1 Thus hath the Lord Jehovah shewed me, and, lo, a basket of summer-fruit.
परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले मलाई यो कुरा देखाउनुभयो। ग्रीष्‍म ऋतुको फलको एउटा डालो हेर ।
2 And He saith, 'What art thou seeing, Amos?' and I say, 'A basket of summer-fruit.' And Jehovah saith unto me: 'The end hath come unto My people Israel, I do not add any more to pass over to it.
उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “आमोस, तँ के देख्‍छस्?” मैले भनें, “ग्रीष्‍म ऋतुको फलको एउटा डालो ।” तब परमप्रभुले मलाई यसो भन्‍नुभयो, “मेरा मानिस, इस्राएलको निम्ति अन्‍त्‍य आएको छ । म तिनीहरूलाई अब बाँकी छोड्नेछैनँ ।
3 And howled have songstresses of a palace in that day, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Many [are] the carcases, into any place throw — hush!
यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो, त्यो दिनमा मन्दिरका गीतहरू रुवाबासीमा बद्लिनेछन्, धेरै लासहरू जता-ततै फलिनेछन्! शान्‍त हो!”
4 Hear this, ye who are swallowing up the needy, To cause to cease the poor of the land,
खाँचोमा परेकाहरूलाई थिचोमिचो गर्नेहरू, र गरीबहरूलाई देशबाट हटाउनेहरू, यो सुन ।
5 Saying, When doth the new moon pass, And we sell ground corn? And the sabbath, and we open out pure corn? To make little the ephah, And to make great the shekel, And to use perversely balances of deceit.
तिनीहरू भन्छन्, “औंसी कहिले समाप्‍त हुन्छ, ताकि हामीहरूले फेरि अन्‍न बेच्‍न सकौं? शबाथ दिन कहिले समाप्‍त हुन्छ, ताकि हामीले गहुँ बेच्‍न सकौं? हामीले झुटो नापले ठगी गर्दा, हामी मानालाई सानो बनाउनेछौं र मुल्यलाई बढाउनेछौं ।
6 To purchase with money the poor, And the needy for a pair of sandals, Yea, the refuse of the pure corn we sell.
यसरी नै हामीले खराब गहुँ बेच्‍न सक्‍छौं, गरीबलाई चाँदीले, र खाँचोमा परेकाहरूलाई एक जोर जुत्ताले किन्‍न सक्‍छौं ।”
7 Sworn hath Jehovah by the excellency of Jacob: 'I forget not for ever any of their works.
परमप्रभुले याकूबको घमण्डमा यसरी शपथ खानुभएको छ, “निश्‍चय नै तिनीहरूका कुनै पनि कामहरू म कदापि बिर्सनेछैनँ ।”
8 For this doth not the land tremble, And mourned hath every dweller in it? And come up as a flood hath all of it. And it hath been cast out, and hath sunk, Like the flood of Egypt.
यसको निम्‍ति जमिन काम्‍नेछैन, अनि त्यसमा बसोबास गर्ने हरेकले विलाप गर्नेछैनन् र? त्यसको सबै थोक नील नदीझैं माथि उठ्नेछ, र मिश्रको नदीझैं त्यो छचल्‍किनेछ र डुब्‍नेछ ।
9 And it hath come to pass in that day, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, I have caused the sun to go in at noon, And caused darkness on the land in a day of light,
“यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो— त्यो दिन यस्‍तो हुनेछ, सुर्यलाई दिउँसै अस्ताउनेछु म बनाउनेछु, र पृथ्वीलाई मध्यदिनमा नै अँध्यारो म बनाउनेछु ।
10 And have turned your festivals to mourning, And all your songs to lamentation, And caused sackcloth to come up on all loins, And on every head — baldness, And made it as a mourning [of] an only one, And its latter end as a day of bitterness.
तिमीहरूका चाडहरूलाई विलापमा, अनि तिमीहरूका सबै गीतलाई रुवाईमा म बद्लिनेछु । तिमीहरू सबैलाई भाङ्‍ग्रा लाउने, र हरेकले कपाल खौरन म बनाउनेछु । एक मात्र छोराको निम्ति विलाप गरेझैं, र त्यसको अन्‍त्‍यमा तीतो म बनाउनेछु ।
11 Lo, days are coming, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And I have sent a famine into the land, Not a famine of bread, nor a thirst of water But of hearing the words of Jehovah.
हेर्, यस्‍ता दिनहरू आउँदैछन्, यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो, जति बेला देशमा म अनिकाल पठाउनेछु, त्‍यो रोटीको अनिकाल होइन, न त पानीको तिर्खाको हो, तर त्‍यो परमप्रभुको वचन सुन्‍ने कुराको हो।
12 And they have wandered from sea unto sea, And from north even unto east, They go to and fro to seek the word of Jehovah, And they do not find.
परमप्रभुको वचनको खोज्‍नलाई तिनीहरू एक समुद्रदेखि अर्को समुद्रसम्‍म धर्मराउनेछन्, र उत्तरदेखि पूर्वसम्म दौडनेछन्, तर तिनीहरूले त्यो भेट्टाउनेछैनन् ।
13 In that day faint do the fair virgins, And the young men, with thirst.
त्यो दिनमा सुन्दरी कुमारीहरू र जवान मानिसहरू तिर्खाले मूर्छा हुनेछन् ।
14 Those swearing by the guilt of Samaria, And have said, Live doth thy god, O Dan, And, Live doth the way of Beer-Sheba, And they have fallen — and rise not again!'
सामरियाको पापमा शपथ खानेहरू र ‘ए दान, तेरो देवता जीवित भएझैं,’ र ‘बेर्शेबाको देवता जीवित भएझैं,’ भनेर भन्‍नेहरू, तिनीहरू पतन हुनेछन् र फेरि कहिल्यै उठ्नेछैनन् ।”
