आमोस 3
1 ए इस्राएलका मानिस हो, तिमीहरूका विरूद्धमा, मिश्रदेशबाट मैले निकालेर ल्याएको सम्पूर्ण परिवारको विरुद्धमा परमप्रभुले बोल्नुभएको यो वचन सुनः
“You people of Israel, I brought all your ancestors out of Egypt; so listen to what I am saying about you.
2 “पृथ्वीमा भएका सबै परिवारहरूबाट, मैले केवल तिमीहरूलाई छानेको छु । त्यसकारण तिमीहरूका सबै पापहरूका निम्ति, म तिमीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनेछु ।”
From all the people-groups on the earth, I [chose and] took care of only you. That is the reason that I will punish you for the sins that you have committed.”
3 सहमत नभएसम्म दुई जना सँगै हिंड्छन् र?
Two [people] certainly cannot [RHQ] walk together if they have not [already] agreed [about what place they will start walking from].
4 जङ्गलको सिंहले कुनै सिकार नपाउँदा पनि, के त्यो गर्जन्छ र? जवान सिंहले आफ्नो ओडारमा केही फेला नपारेसम्म, के त्यो ङ्यार्रङ्यार् गर्छ र?
A lion certainly does not [RHQ] roar in the bushes/forest if it has not killed another animal. It does not [RHQ] growl in its den if it is not eating [the flesh of an animal that it has caught].
5 चराको निम्ति चारो नराखेसम्म के त्यो भुइँमा भएको पासोमा पर्छ र? पासोले केही कुरा समाउन नपाउँदा पनि के त्यो भुइँबाट माथि उफ्रिन्छ र?
No one can [RHQ] catch a bird if [he does] not [set] a trap for it. A trap does not spring shut unless some [animal] has not sprung the trap.
6 सहरमा तुरही बज्यो भने, के त्यहाँका मानिसहरू थर-थर काम्दैनन् र? सहरलाई प्रकोपले नाश गर्दा, त्यो परमप्रभुले नै पठाउनुभएको होइन र?
[Similarly, all] the people in a city certainly [RHQ] become afraid when [they hear someone] blowing a trumpet [to signal that enemies are attacking]. And when a city experiences disaster, Yahweh is the one who has caused it [RHQ].
7 निश्चय नै परमप्रभुले आफ्ना सेवक अगमवक्ताहरूलाई आफ्नो योजना प्रकट नगर्नुभएसम्म उहाँले केही पनि गर्नुहुनेछैन ।
And whatever Yahweh plans to do, he tells his prophets about it.
8 सिंह गर्जेको छ । को डराउनेछैन र? परमप्रभु परमेश्वर बोल्नुभएको छ । कसले अगमवाणी बोल्दैन र?
Everyone certainly becomes terrified [RHQ] when they hear a lion roar, and if Yahweh the Lord has given messages [to prophets like me], we certainly must [RHQ] proclaim those messages, [even if they cause people to become terrified].
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 ।
[I said this to the leaders of Samaria] (OR, [Yahweh said this to me]): Send this message to the leaders [MET] in Ashdod [city] and to Egypt: “Come to the hills of Samaria and see [the way that their (leaders/wealthy people)] are causing people in that city to be terrified, and [the way that they] are causing the people to suffer!”
10 किनभने ठिक काम कसरी गर्ने सो तिनीहरू जान्दैनन् — यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो— तिनीहरूले आफ्ना किल्लाहरूमा हिंसा र विनाश संचित गर्छन् ।”
Yahweh says that the people there do not know how to do things that are right. Their homes are filled with [valuable things] that they have stolen or [taken] violently [from others].
11 यसैकारण, परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यस्तो भन्नुहुन्छ, “एउटा शत्रुले देशलाई घेर्नेछ, र तिमीहरूका गढहरूलाई नाश गर्नेछ र तिमीहरूका किल्लाहरूलाई लुट्नेछ ।”
So Yahweh [our] God says that [soon] their enemies will come and tear down their (defenses/high city walls) and take away those valuable things.
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 ।”
Yahweh has declared this: “When a lion attacks a sheep, [sometimes] a shepherd will be able to snatch from the lion’s mouth only two legs or an ear of the sheep. Similarly, [only] a few people from Samaria will escape, and [they will be able to rescue only] a part of a couch and a part of a bed.”
13 याकूबका घरानाका विरुद्धमा सुन र गवाही देओ— यो सर्वशक्तमान् परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो ।
The Commander of the armies of angels said this: “Proclaim [this message] about the descendants [MTY] of Jacob:
14 “किनभने मैले इस्राएलका पापको दण्ड दिने दिनमा, म बेथेलका वेदीहरूलाई पनि दण्ड दिनेछु । वेदीका सिङहरू काटिनेछन् र भुइँमा खस्नेछन् ।
When I, Yahweh, punish [the people of] Israel because of the sins that they have committed, I will cause the altars at Bethel [town] to be destroyed; even the projections at the corners of the altars 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 cause the houses [that they live in during] the (winter/rainy season) and those [in which they live during] the (summer/dry season) to be torn down. [Beautiful] big houses and houses [that are decorated] with ivory will be destroyed. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!”
