1 ए इस्राएलका मानिस हो, तिमीहरूका विरूद्धमा, मिश्रदेशबाट मैले निकालेर ल्याएको सम्‍पूर्ण परिवारको विरुद्धमा परमप्रभुले बोल्नुभएको यो वचन सुनः
People of Israel, listen to this message that the Lord has spoken against you—all of you, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt.
2 “पृथ्वीमा भएका सबै परिवारहरूबाट, मैले केवल तिमीहरूलाई छानेको छु । त्यसकारण तिमीहरूका सबै पापहरूका निम्‍ति, म तिमीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनेछु ।”
I chose a special relationship with you alone out of all the families of the earth, and so I will punish you for your wrongdoing.
3 सहमत नभएसम्म दुई जना सँगै हिंड्छन् र?
Can two people walk together unless they have arranged to meet?
4 जङ्गलको सिंहले कुनै सिकार नपाउँदा पनि, के त्यो गर्जन्छ र? जवान सिंहले आफ्नो ओडारमा केही फेला नपारेसम्म, के त्यो ङ्‍यार्रङ्‍यार् गर्छ र?
Does a lion roar in the forest before finding its prey? Does a young lion growl from its den if it has caught nothing?
5 चराको निम्ति चारो नराखेसम्म के त्यो भुइँमा भएको पासोमा पर्छ र? पासोले केही कुरा समाउन नपाउँदा पनि के त्यो भुइँबाट माथि उफ्रिन्‍छ र?
Does a bird fall into a trap and get caught unless the spring is set? Does a trap spring shut if there's nothing there to catch?
6 सहरमा तुरही बज्यो भने, के त्यहाँका मानिसहरू थर-थर काम्दैनन् र? सहरलाई प्रकोपले नाश गर्दा, त्यो परमप्रभुले नै पठाउनुभएको होइन र?
When the trumpet sounds in the city, shouldn't the people be alarmed? When a disaster comes to a city, isn't it the Lord who does it?
7 निश्‍चय नै परमप्रभुले आफ्ना सेवक अगमवक्ताहरूलाई आफ्नो योजना प्रकट नगर्नुभएसम्म उहाँले केही पनि गर्नुहुनेछैन ।
For the Lord God does nothing without revealing his intentions to his servants the prophets.
8 सिंह गर्जेको छ । को डराउनेछैन र? परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर बोल्‍नुभएको छ । कसले अगमवाणी बोल्दैन र?
The lion has roared—so who isn't scared? The Lord God has spoken—so who can refuse to speak for him?
9 अश्‍दोदमा भएका किल्लाहरूमा, र मिश्रदेशमा भएका किल्लाहरूमा यो कुरा घोषणा गर । यसो भन, “सामरियाका पहाडहरूमा आफैलाई भेला पार र त्यहाँ के ठुलो भ्रम छ र के अत्याचार छ त्‍यो हेर ।
Announce this to the fortresses of Ashdod and to the fortresses in the land of Egypt: Assemble yourselves on Samaria's mountains and see all the turmoil and oppression happening in the country.
10 किनभने ठिक काम कसरी गर्ने सो तिनीहरू जान्दैनन् — यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो— तिनीहरूले आफ्ना किल्लाहरूमा हिंसा र विनाश संचित गर्छन् ।”
They don't know how to do what is right, declares the Lord. They have stored up in their fortresses what they've taken by violence and robbery.
11 यसैकारण, परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “एउटा शत्रुले देशलाई घेर्नेछ, र तिमीहरूका गढहरूलाई नाश गर्नेछ र तिमीहरूका किल्लाहरूलाई लुट्नेछ ।”
As a result, says the Lord, an enemy will surround you, break down your strongholds, and plunder your fortresses.
12 परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छः “जसरी गोठालाले सिंहको मुखबाट दुईवटा खुट्टा, वा कानको एक टुक्रामात्र छुटाउँछ, यसरी नै सामरियामा बस्‍ने मानिसहरूलाई पनि छुटाइनेछ । तिनीहरूसित केवल पलङ्गको एउटा कुना वा खाटको एक टुक्रा मात्र छोडिनेछ ।”
This is what the Lord says: Just as a shepherd tries to rescue a sheep from a lion's mouth, but only saves a couple of legs or a piece of an ear, so it will be for the people of Israel living in Samaria—all that will be “saved” will be the corner of a couch and a piece of a leg from a bed.
13 याकूबका घरानाका विरुद्धमा सुन र गवाही देओ— यो सर्वशक्‍तमान् परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो ।
Listen! Warn the house of Jacob, declares the Lord God of power.
14 “किनभने मैले इस्राएलका पापको दण्ड दिने दिनमा, म बेथेलका वेदीहरूलाई पनि दण्‍ड दिनेछु । वेदीका सिङहरू काटिनेछन् र भुइँमा खस्‍नेछन् ।
For on that day I will punish Israel for their sins. I will destroy the altars of Bethel: the corners of the altar will be cut off and fall to the ground.
15 म हिउँदमा बस्‍ने घरलाई गर्मीमा बस्‍ने घरसँगै नाश गर्नेछु । हस्तिहाडका घरहरू नाश हुनेछन्, र ठुला-ठुला घरहरू लोप हुनेछन् — यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
I will tear down their winter houses and their summer houses as well, their houses filled with ivory will be ruined—their many houses will be destroyed.
