आमोस 4
1 ए बाशानका गाईहरू, यो वचन सुन, तिमीहरू जो सामरियाको पहाडमा बस्छौ, तिमीहरू जसले गरिबहरूलाई थिचोमिचो गर्छौ, तिमीहरू जसले दरिद्रहरूलाई कुल्चिन्छौ, तिमीहरू जसले आफ्ना पतिहरूलाई भन्छौ, “हामीलाई मद्य ल्याउनुहोस्” ।
Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who tell their husbands, "Bring us something to drink."
2 परमप्रभुले आफ्नो पवित्रताद्वारा प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको छ, “हेर, तिमीहरूमाथि यस्ता दिनहरू आउनेछन् जति बेला तिमीहरूलाई तिनीहरूले अंकुसेले, र तिमीहरूमध्ये अन्तिम बचेकाहरूलाई बल्छीले लैजानेछन् ।
The LORD has sworn by his holiness: "Look, the days shall come on you that they will take you away with hooks, and the last of you with fish hooks.
3 तिमीहरू सहरका पर्खालका धाँदाहरूका बिचबाट जानेछौ, तिमीहरू हरेक व्यक्ति सिधै त्यहाँबाट जानेछौ, र तिमीहरू हर्मोनतिर फालिनेछौ —यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
You will go out at the breaks in the wall, everyone straight before her; and you will cast yourselves into Harmon," says the LORD.
4 “बेथेलमा जाओ र पाप गर, गिलगालमा जाओ अनि धेरै पाप बढाओ, हरेक बिहान आफ्ना बलिदानहरू, हरेक तिन दिनमा आफ्ना दशांशहरू ल्याओ ।
"Go to Bethel, and sin; to Gilgal, and sin more. Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days,
5 रोटीले धन्यवादको बलिदान अर्पण गर, स्वइच्छा भेटीको घोषणा गर । तीबारे घोषणा गर, किनकि यस कुराले तिमीहरू, इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई खुसी तुल्याउँछ, — यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो ।
offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim free will offerings and brag about them: for this pleases you, you children of Israel," says the LORD.
6 मैले तिमीहरूका सबै सहरहरूमा तिमीहरूका भोको पेट दिएँ र तिमीहरूका सबै ठाउँहरूमा रोटीको अभाव पारें । तापनि तिमीहरू मकहाँ फर्केका छैनौ —यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
"I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in every town; yet you haven't returned to me," says the LORD.
7 फसल काट्नलाई तिन महिना बाँकी हुँदा नै मैले पनि तिमीहरूबाट वर्षालाई रोकें । एउटा सहरमा मैले पानी पर्न दिएँ र अर्को सहरमा मैले पानी पर्न दिइनँ । जमिनको एक भागमा पानी पर्यो, तर जमिनको जुन भागमा पानी परेन त्यो सुक्यो ।
"I also have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. One place was rained on, and the piece where it did not rain withered.
8 दुई वा तिनवटा सहर पानी पिउनको निम्ति अर्को सहरतर्फ धर्मराउँदै हिंडे, तर तृप्त भएनन् । तापनि तिमीहरू मतर्फ फर्केका छैनौ —यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
So two or three cities staggered to one city to drink water, and were not satisfied: yet you haven't returned to me," says the LORD.
9 डढुवा र ओसले मैले तिमीहरूलाई कष्ट दिएँ । तिमीहरूका असङ्ख्य बगैँचाहरू, तिमीहरूका दाखबारीहरू, तिमीहरूका नेभाराका रूखहरू, र जैतूनका रूखहरू, सलहले ती सबैलाई सखाप पारे । तापनि तिमीहरू मतर्फ फर्केका छैनौ —यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
"I struck you with blight and mildew many times in your gardens and your vineyards; and your fig trees and your olive trees have the swarming locust devoured: yet you haven't returned to me," says the LORD.
10 मैले मिश्रमा झैं तिमीहरूका बिचमा विपत्ति पठाएँ । तिमीहरूका जवान मानिसहरूलाई मैले तरवारले मारें, तिमीहरूका घोडाहरूलाई लिएर गएँ, र तिमीहरूका छाउनीको दुर्गन्ध तिमीहरूको नाकसम्म आउने पारें । तापनि तिमीहरू मतर्फ फर्केका छैनौ —यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
"I sent plagues among you like I did Egypt. I have slain your young men with the sword, and have carried away your horses; and I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp, yet you haven't returned to me," says the LORD.
11 मैले तिमीहरूका बिचमा भएका सहरहरू नाश पारें, जसरी परमेश्वरले सदोम र गमोरालाई नाश पार्नुभएको थियो । तिमीहरू आगोबाट बाहिर तानिएका अगुल्टाहरूझैं थियौ । तापनि तिमीहरू मतर्फ फर्केका छैनौ —यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
"I have overthrown some of you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick plucked out of the fire; yet you haven't returned to me," says the LORD.
12 त्यसैले, ए इस्राएल, म तेरो बिचमा केही डरलाग्दो कुरा गर्नेछु । र मैले तिमीहरूका बिचमा केही डरलाग्दो गर्ने हुनाले, ए इस्राएल, आफ्नो परमेश्वरलाई भेट्न तयार हो!
"Therefore thus will I do to you, Israel; because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel.
13 किनकि, हेर, जसले पहाडहरू बनाउनुहुन्छ, उहाँले नै बतास पनि सृष्टि गर्नुहुन्छ, आफ्ना विचारहरू मानिसजातिकहाँ प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ, बिहानको उज्यालोलाई अन्धकार बनाउनुहुन्छ, र पृथ्वीका उच्च ठाउँहरूलाई कुल्चिनुहुन्छ । परमप्रभु, सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वर, उहाँको नाउँ हो ।”
For, look, he who forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought; who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth: The LORD, the God of hosts, is his name."
