Hosea 12
1 Ephraim is enjoying wind, And is pursuing an east wind, All the day lying and spoiling he multiplieth, And a covenant with Asshur they make, And oil to Egypt is carried.
एफ्राइमले हावा खान्छ र त्यसले पूर्वीय बतासको पछि लाग्छ । त्यसले झुट र हिंसालाई निरन्तर बढाउँछ । तिनीहरूले अश्शूरसँग करार बाँध्दछन् र मिश्रदेशमा जैतूनको तेल लान्छन् ।
2 And a controversy hath Jehovah with Judah, To lay a charge on Jacob according to his ways, According to his doings He returneth to him.
यहूदाको विरुद्ध परमप्रभुसँग एउटा मुद्धा छ र याकूबले जे गरेको छ, त्यसको लागि दण्ड दिनुहुनेछ । त्यसका कामहरूका निम्ति उहाँले त्यसलाई बदला दिनुहुनेछ ।
3 In the womb he took his brother by the heel, And by his strength he was a prince with God,
गर्भमा नै याकूबले आफ्नो दाजुको कुर्कुच्चा समाते, र आफ्नो जवान अवस्थामा तिनले परमेश्वरसँग लडन्त गरे ।
4 Yea, he is a prince unto the Messenger, And he overcometh [by] weeping, And he maketh supplication to Him, At Bethel He doth find him, And there He doth speak with us,
तिनले स्वर्गदूतसँग लडन्त गरे र जिते । तिनी रोए र उहाँको निगाहको निम्ति बिन्ती गरे । तिनले बेथेलमा परमेश्वरलाई भेटे । त्यहाँ तिनीसँग परमेश्वर बोल्नुभयो ।
5 Even Jehovah, God of the Hosts, Jehovah [is] His memorial.
उहाँ सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ । पुकारा गर्नुपर्ने उहाँको नाउँ “परमप्रभु” हो ।
6 And thou, through thy God, dost turn, Kindness and judgment keep thou, And wait on thy God continually.
यसैले आफ्नो परमेश्वरकहाँ फर्क । करारको विश्वस्तता र न्याय कायम राख र आफ्नो परमेश्वरमा निरन्तर पर्ख ।
7 Canaan! in his hand [are] balances of deceit! To oppress he hath loved.
व्यापारीहरूका हातमा छलको तराजु रहेको छ, तिनीहरूलाई छल गर्न मन पराउँछन् ।
8 And Ephraim saith: 'Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself, All my labours — they find not against me iniquity that [is] sin.'
एफ्राइमले भन्यो, “निश्चय नै म धेरै धनी भएको छु । आफ्नो निम्ति मैले धनसम्पत्ति पाएको छु । मेरो सबै काममा कुनै अपराध हुने कुरा, पाप हुने कुनै कुरा तिनीहरूले भेट्टाउनेछैनन् ।”
9 And I — Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, Again do I turn thee back into tents, As in the days of the appointed time.
“मिश्रदेशदेखि नै म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर हुँ । तोकिएको चाडका दिनहरूमा झैं, तिमीहरूलाई फेरि म पालहरूमा बस्ने बनाउनेछु ।
10 And I have spoken unto the prophets, And I have multiplied vision, And by the hand of the prophets I use similes.
म अगमवक्ताहरूसँग बोलें, र तिमीहरूका निम्ति मैले तिनीहरूलाई धेरै दर्शनहरू दिएँ । अगमवक्ताहरूका हातद्वारा मैले दृष्टान्तहरू दिएँ ।”
11 Surely Gilead [is] iniquity, Only, vanity they have been, In Gilead bullocks they have sacrificed, Also their altars [are] as heaps, on the furrows of a field.
गिलादमा दुष्टता छ भने, निश्चय नै त्यहाँका मानिसहरू बेकामका छन् । गिलगालमा तिनीहरू साँढेहरू बलि चढाउँछन् । तिनीहरूका वेदीहरू जोतेको खेतमा ढुङ्गाका थुप्रोझैं हुनेछन् ।
12 And Jacob doth flee to the country of Aram, And Israel doth serve for a wife, Yea, for a wife he hath kept watch.
याकूब अरामको देशमा भागे । एक जना पत्नी पाउनलाई इस्राएलले काम गरे, र एक जना पत्नी पाउनलाई तिनले भेडाका बगालको रेखदेख गरे ।
13 And by a prophet hath Jehovah brought up Israel out of Egypt, And by a prophet it hath been watched.
परमप्रभुले एक जना अगमवक्ताद्वारा इस्राएललाई मिश्रदेशबाट बाहिर ल्याउनुभयो, र एक जना अगमवक्ताद्वारा नै उहाँले तिनीहरूको रेखदेख गर्नुभयो ।
14 Ephraim hath provoked most bitterly, And his blood on himself he leaveth, And his reproach turn back to him doth his Lord!
एफ्राइमले परमप्रभुलाई अत्यन्तै क्रोधित पारेको छ । यसैले त्यसका परमप्रभुले त्यसको रगतको दोष त्यसमाथि नै छोड्नुहुनेछ र त्यसको अपमान त्यसैलाई फर्काउनुहुनेछ ।
