1 परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छः “मोआबका तिन वा चारवटा पापका निम्‍ति समेत, दण्ड दिनबाट म पछि हट्‍नेछैनँ, किनभने त्यसले एदोमका राजालाई जलाएर चून बनायो ।
Thus saith the Lord; For three sins of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away from it; because they burnt the bones of the king of Idumea to lime.
2 मोआबमा म आगो पठाउनेछु, र त्यसले किर्योतका किल्लाहरूलाई भस्म पार्नेछ । चिच्‍याहट र तुरहीको आवाजमा, ठुलो गर्जनसहित मोआबचाहिं मर्नेछ ।
But I will send forth a fire on Moab, and it shall devour the foundations of its cities: and Moab shall perish in weakness, with a shout, and with the sound of a trumpet.
3 त्यसको न्यायकर्तालाई म नष्‍ट गर्नेछु र त्यसका सबै राजकुमारलाई म मार्नेछु,” परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।
And I will destroy the judge out of her, and slay all her princes with him, saith the Lord.
4 परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छः “यहूदाका तिन वा चारवटा पापका निम्‍ति समेत, दण्ड दिनबाट म पछि हट्‍नेछैनँ, किनभने तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको व्यवस्थालाई तिरस्‍कार गरे, र उहाँका विधिहरू पालना गरेनन् । तिनीहरूका झुटले तिनीहरूलाई भ्रममा पार्‍यो, जसका पछि तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरू पनि हिंडेका थिए ।
Thus saith the Lord; For three sins of the children of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away from him; because they have rejected the law of the Lord, and have not kept his ordinances, and their vain [idols] which they made, which their fathers followed, caused them to err.
5 यहूदामा म आगो पठाउनेछु, र त्यसले यरूशलेमका किल्लाहरूलाई भस्म पार्नेछ ।”
And I will send a fire on Juda, and it shall devour the foundations of Jerusalem.
6 परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छः “इस्राएलका तिन वा चारवटा पापका निम्‍ति समेत, दण्ड दिनबाट म पछि हट्‍नेछैनँ, किनभने तिनीहरूले निर्दोषहरूलाई चाँदीमा, अनि दरिद्रहरूलाई एक जोर जुत्तामा बेचे ।
Thus saith the Lord; for three sins of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away from him; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for sandals,
7 मानिसहरूले भुइँमा भएको धुलोलाई कुल्चेझैँ, तिनीहरूले गरिबहरूका शिरहरू कुल्चन्‍छन् । तिनीहरूले थिचोमिचोमा परेकालाई पर धकेल्‍छन् । एक जना मानिस र उसका बाबु एउटै केटीसँग सुत्‍छन्, र यसरी मेरो पवित्र नाउँलाई अशुद्ध पार्छन् ।
wherewith to tread on the dust of the earth, and they have smitten upon the heads of the poor, and have perverted the way of the lowly: and a son and his father have gone into the same maid, that they might profane the name of their God.
8 तिनीहरूले बन्धकको रूपमा लिएका लुगाहरूमाथि नै हरेक वेदीको छेउमा पल्टिन्‍छन्, र जरिमानामा लिएको दाखमद्य नै तिनीहरूले आफ्‍नो परमेश्‍वरका मन्दिरमा पिउँछन् ।
And binding their clothes with cords they have made them curtains near the altar, and they have drunk wine gained by extortion in the house of their God.
9 तापनि तिनीहरूका सामु मैले एमोरीलाई नाश गरें, जसका उचाइ देवदारुहरूका उचाइझैं थियो । त्यो फलाँटको रूख जत्तिकै बलियो थियो । तापनि मैले त्यसको माथिको फल, अनि त्यसको मुनिका जराहरूलाई नाश गरें ।
Nevertheless I cut off the Amorite from before them, whose height was as the height of a cedar, and he was strong as an oak; and I dried up his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
10 साथै मैले तिमीहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट निकालेर माथि ल्याएँ, र एमोरीहरूको देश कब्जा गर्नलाई, चालिस वर्षसम्म तिमीहरूलाई मरुभूमिमा डोर्‍याएँ ।
And I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you about in the desert forty years, that ye should inherit the land of the Amorites.
11 तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीका बिचबाट अगमवक्ताहरू, र तिमीहरूका जवान मानिसहरूबाट नाजिरीहरू मैले खडा गरें । ए इस्राएलका मानिस हो, के यो सत्य होइन? — यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
And I took of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for consecration. Are not these things so, ye sons of Israel? saith the Lord.
12 तर तिमीहरूले नाजिरीहरूलाई दाखमद्य पिउन प्रेरित गर्‍यौ, अनि अगमवक्ताहरूलाई अगमवाणी नबोल्‍ने आज्ञा दियौ ।
But ye gave the consecrated ones wine to drink; and ye commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
13 हेर, अन्‍न भरिएको गाडाले कसैलाई कुल्चेझैं, म तिमीहरूलाई कुल्चनेछु ।
Therefore, behold, I roll under you, as a waggon full of straw is rolled.
14 तेज दौडने उम्केर जान सक्‍नेछैन, र बलियोले आफ्‍नो बलमाथि बल पाउनेछैन, न त शक्तिशालीले आफैंलाई बचाउन सक्‍नेछ ।
And flight shall perish from the runner, and the strong shall not hold fast his strength, and the warrior shall not save his life:
15 धनुधारी खडा हुनेछैन । तीव्र गतिमा दौडने उम्कने छैन । घोडचडीले आफैंलाई बचाउन सक्‍नेछैन ।
and the archer shall not withstand, and he that is swift of foot shall in no wise escape; and the horseman shall not save his life.
16 त्यस दिनमा सबैभन्दा साहसी योद्धाहरू पनि नाङ्गै भाग्‍नेछन् — यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
And the strong shall find no confidence in power: the naked shall flee away in that day, saith the Lord.
