< आमोस 6 >
1 सियोनमा आरामसित बस्नेहरूलाई धिक्कार, र सामरियाको पहाडी मुलुकमा सुरक्षित भएकाहरू, जातिहरूका उत्कृष्टहरूमध्ये विशिष्ट मानिसहरू, जसकहाँ इस्राएलको घराना सहायताको निम्ति आउँछन् ।
Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure in the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
2 तिमीहरूका अगुवाहरू यसो भन्छन्, “कल्नेहमा जाओ र हेर । त्यहाँबाट महान् सहर हामातमा जाओ, अनि त्यसपछि पलिश्तीहरूको गातमा जाओ । के तिमीहरूका दुई राज्यभन्दा ती असल छन् र? के तिनका सिमाना तिमीहरूका सिमानाभन्दा ठुलो छ?”
Pass ye to Calneh, and see, and from there go ye to Hamath the great, then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms? Or is their border greater than your border?
3 विनाशको दिनलाई पन्छाउने मानिसहरू, र हिंसाको सिंहासनलाई नजिक तुल्याउनेहरूलाई धिक्कार ।
Ye who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near,
4 तिनीहरू हस्तिहाडको ओछ्यानमा सुत्छन् र आ-आफ्ना पलङ्हरूमा आराम गर्छन् । तिनीहरू बगालबाट भेडाका पाठाहरू र गोठबाट बाछाहरू खान्छन् ।
who lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall,
5 तिनीहरू वीणाको सङ्गीतमा मूर्खताका गीतहरू गाउँछन्, दाऊदले झैं तिनीहरू बाजाहरूले नयाँ सङ्गीत बनाउँछन् ।
who sing idle songs to the sound of the viol, who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David,
6 तिनीहरू कचौराबाट दाखमद्य पिउँछन् र उत्तम तेलहरूले आफूलाई अभिषेक गर्छन्, तर योसेफको विनाशमा तिनीहरू शोक गर्दैनन् ।
who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief oils, but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7 यसैले सुरुमा निर्वासित हुनेहरूसँगै तिनीहरू निर्वासित हुनेछन्, र मोज-मज्जा गर्नेहरूको भोजको अन्त हुनेछ ।
Therefore they shall now go captive with the first who go captive, and the revelry of those who stretched themselves shall pass away.
8 “म, परमप्रभुले आफैंसित यो प्रतिज्ञा गरेको छु — यो परमप्रभु सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वर घोषणा हो, म याकूबको घमण्डलाई घृणा गर्छु, म त्यसका किल्लाहरूलाई घृणा गर्छु । यसकारण म त्यो सहरमा भएका सबै थोकसँगै त्यसलाई सुम्पिदिनेछु ।”
The lord Jehovah has sworn by himself, says Jehovah, the God of hosts: I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces, therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is therein.
9 यस्तो हुनेछ कि एउटा घरमा दश जना मानिस बाँकी छन् भने तिनीहरू सबै मर्नेछन् ।
And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
10 जब कुनै मानिसको आफन्त तिनीहरूका लासहरू निकाल्न आउँछ— जसले ती लासहरू घरबाट बाहिर निकालेर तिनलाई जलाउँछ— उसले त्यस घरमा भएको मानिसलाई सोध्छ, “के तिमीसँग अरू कोही बाँकी छ?” तब त्यो मानिसले भन्छ, “छैन ।” त्यसपछि उसले भन्नेछ, “चुप लाग, किनकि हामीले परमप्रभुको नाउँ लिनुहुँदैन ।”
And when a man's uncle shall take him up, even he who burns him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say to him who is in the innermost parts of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No, then he shall say, Hold thy peace, for we may not make mention of the name of Jehovah.
11 किनकि, हेर, परमप्रभुले एउटा आज्ञा दिनुहुनेछ, र ठुलो घर टुक्रा-टुक्रा हुनेछ, र सानो घरचाहिं धूलोपिठो हुनेछ ।
For, behold, Jehovah commands, and the great house shall be smitten with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
12 के घोडाहरू ठाडो चट्टानहरूमा दौडन्छन् र? के कसैले त्यहाँ गोरू जोत्छ? तापनि तिमीहरूले न्यायलाई विष अनि धार्मिकताको फललाई तिक्ततामा परिणत गरेका छौ ।
Shall horses run upon the rock? Will a man plow there with oxen? That ye have turned justice into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,
13 लो-देबारको पराजयमा आनन्द मनाउनेहरू, जसले भन्छन्, “के हामीले आफ्नै शक्तिले कार्नैमलाई लिएनौं र?”
ye who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
14 “तर ए इस्राएलका घराना, हेर, म तिमीहरूका विरुद्धमा एउटा जातिलाई खडा गर्नेछु— परमप्रभु सर्वशक्तमान् परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो । तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई लेबो-हमातदेखि अराबाको खोलासम्मै पीडा दिनेछन् ।”
For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, says Jehovah, the God of hosts, and they shall afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of the Arabah.
