आमोस 7
1 परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले मलाई यो कुरा देखाउनुभयो । हेर, बसन्त ऋतुको बाली मौलाउनै लाग्दा, उहाँले सलहको बथान तयार गर्नुभयो, अनि हेर, योचाहिं राजाको कटनी पछिको बाली थियो ।
This is what the Lord God showed me. I saw that he was preparing a swarm of locusts just when the spring crops began to grow. (Spring crops begin to grow right after the time when the king's hay is cut.)
2 जब तिनीहरूले भूमिको बालीनाली खाएर सके, अनि त्यसपछि मैले भनें, “परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, कृपया क्षमा गर्नुहोस् । याकूब कसरी बाँच्नेछ? किनकि त्यो त धेरै सानो छ ।”
And so when the locusts finished eating every green plant in the fields, I pleaded with the Lord God, “Please forgive your people! How can the descendants of Jacob survive? They are so weak.”
3 परमप्रभु यस विषयमा नरम हुनुभयो । उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “यस्तो हुनेछैन ।”
So the Lord changed his mind. “It won't happen,” said the Lord.
4 अनि परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले मलाई यस्तो देखाउनुभयोः हेर, परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले न्याय गर्नलाई आगो बोलाउनुभयो । त्यसले पृथ्वीमुनिको गहिरो विशाल पानीलाई सुकायो र त्यसले जमिनलाई पनि भष्म पार्न सक्थ्यो ।
This is what the Lord God showed me. I saw that the Lord God was calling for a judgment of fire. The fire burned up the depths of the sea and destroyed the farmland.
5 तर मैले भनें, “परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, कृपया रोक्नुहोस् । याकूब कसरी बाँच्नेछ? किनकि त्यो त धेरै सानो छ ।”
I pleaded with the Lord God, “Please stop! How can the descendants of Jacob survive? They are so weak.”
6 परमप्रभु यस विषयमा नरम हुनुभयो । परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “यो पनि हुनेछैन ।”
So the Lord changed his mind. “This too won't happen,” said the Lord.
7 उहाँले मलाई यो कुरा देखाउनुभयोः हेर, परमप्रभु हातमा साहुल लिएर एउटा पर्खालको छेउमा उभिनुभयो ।
This is what he showed me. I saw the Lord was standing beside a wall that had been built with a plumb line. He was holding a plumb line in his hand.
8 परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “आमोस, तैंले के देखिस्?” मैले भनें, “एउटा साहुल ।” परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “हेर, इस्राएलका मेरा मानिसहरूका बिचमा म एउटा साहुल राख्नेछु । म तिनीहरूलाई अब बाँकी छोड्नेछैनँ ।
And the Lord asked me, “Amos, what do you see?” I replied, “A plumb line.” And the Lord God said, “I am placing a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel. I won't ignore their sins anymore.
9 इसहाकका उच्च ठाउँहरू नष्ट पारिनेछन्, इस्राएलका पवित्र स्थानहरू तहस-नहस पारिनेछन्, र म तरवार लिएर यारोबामको घरानाको विरुद्ध खडा हुनेछु ।”
The high places of the descendents of Isaac will be torn down, and the holy places of Israel will be destroyed. Sword in hand, I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam.”
10 तब बेथेलका पुजारी अमस्याहले इस्राएलका राजा यारोबामलाई यो सन्देश पठाएः “इस्राएलको घरानाको बिचमा आमोसले तपाईंको विरुद्धमा षड्यन्त्र रचेको छ । यस देशले त्यसका सबै बोली सहन सक्दैन ।
Then Amaziah, priest of Bethel, sent a message to Jeroboam, king of Israel, saying, “Amos is plotting against you among the people of Israel. What he's saying is unbearable!
11 किनकि आमोसले यसो भन्यो, ‘यारोबाम तरवारद्वारा मर्नेछ, र इस्राएल निश्चय नै आफ्नो देशबाट टाढा निर्वासनमा जानेछ ।’”
For he's saying Jeroboam will be killed by the sword, and the people will be taken away from their land into exile.”
12 अमस्याहले आमोसलाई भने, “ए दर्शी, दौडेर यहूदाको देशमा जाऊ, र त्यहाँ रोटी खाऊ अनि अगमवाणी गर ।
Amaziah said to Amos, “Go away prophet! Run away to the land of Judah. Go and prophesy there to earn your bread.
13 तर यहाँ बेथेलमा अरू धेरै अगमवाणी नगर, किनकि यो राजाको पवित्र-स्थान र एउटा राजकीय घराना हो ।”
But don't ever prophesy again at Bethel, for this is where the king worships, the national Temple.”
14 अनि आमोसले अमस्याहलाई भने, “म अगमवक्ता होइनँ, न त अगमवक्ताका छोरा हुँ । म त एउटा गोठालो हुँ, र म त अन्जीरका रूखहरूको रेखदेख गर्छु ।
But Amos replied, “I'm not a trained prophet, or the son of a prophet. I was just a shepherd, and also took care of fig trees.
15 तर परमप्रभुले मलाई बगालको हेरचाह गर्नबाट पर लानुभयो र मलाई भन्नुभयो, ‘जा, मेरा मानिस, इस्राएलको निम्ति अगमवाणी गर ।’
The Lord took me from following my flock, and the Lord told me, ‘Go, and give my message to my people of Israel.’”
16 अब परमप्रभुको वचन सुन । तिमी भन्छौ, ‘इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा अगमवाणी नगर, र इसहाकको घरानाको विरुद्धमा नबोल ।’
So now hear what the Lord is telling you: You say, “Don't prophesy against Israel, and don't preach against the descendants of Isaac.”
17 यसकारण परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, ‘तेरी पत्नी सहरमा वेश्या हुनेछे, तेरा छोराहरू र तेरा छोरीहरू तरवारद्वारा मारिनेछन्, तेरो देश नापिनेछ र विभाजन गरिनेछ, तँ एउटा अशुद्ध देशमा मर्नेछस्, र इस्राएल निश्चय नै आफ्नो देशबाट निर्वासनमा जानेछ ।’”
But this is what the Lord says: Your wife will become a prostitute in the city; your sons and daughters will be killed by the sword. Your land will be measured and divided up, and you yourself will die in a foreign land. The people of Israel will definitely be taken from the land and go into exile.
