< 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 ।
Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and behold, it was the latter growth after the king’s harvest.
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 ।”
When they finished eating the grass of the land, then I said, “Lord GOD, forgive, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? For he is small.”
3 परमप्रभु यस विषयमा नरम हुनुभयो । उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “यस्तो हुनेछैन ।”
The LORD relented concerning this. “It shall not be,” says 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 ।
Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, the Lord GOD called for judgment by fire; and it dried up the great deep, and would have devoured the land.
5 तर मैले भनें, “परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर, कृपया रोक्‍नुहोस् । याकूब कसरी बाँच्‍नेछ? किनकि त्यो त धेरै सानो छ ।”
Then I said, “Lord GOD, stop, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? For he is small.”
6 परमप्रभु यस विषयमा नरम हुनुभयो । परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले भन्‍नुभयो, “यो पनि हुनेछैन ।”
The LORD relented concerning this. “This also shall not be,” says the Lord GOD.
7 उहाँले मलाई यो कुरा देखाउनुभयोः हेर, परमप्रभु हातमा साहुल लिएर एउटा पर्खालको छेउमा उभिनुभयो ।
Thus he showed me: behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb line, with 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 ।
The LORD said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said, “Behold, I will set a plumb line in the middle of my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
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 Isaac will be desolate, the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”
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 the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the middle of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words.
11 किनकि आमोसले यसो भन्‍यो, ‘यारोबाम तरवारद्वारा मर्नेछ, र इस्राएल निश्‍चय नै आफ्नो देशबाट टाढा निर्वासनमा जानेछ ।’”
For Amos says, ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.’”
12 अमस्‍याहले आमोसलाई भने, “ए दर्शी, दौडेर यहूदाको देशमा जाऊ, र त्यहाँ रोटी खाऊ अनि अगमवाणी गर ।
Amaziah also said to Amos, “You seer, go, flee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there,
13 तर यहाँ बेथेलमा अरू धेरै अगमवाणी नगर, किनकि यो राजाको पवित्र-स्थान र एउटा राजकीय घराना हो ।”
but don’t prophesy again any more at Bethel; for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a royal house!”
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 ।
Then Amos answered Amaziah, “I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son, but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore figs;
15 तर परमप्रभुले मलाई बगालको हेरचाह गर्नबाट पर लानुभयो र मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, ‘जा, मेरा मानिस, इस्राएलको निम्ति अगमवाणी गर ।’
and the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’
16 अब परमप्रभुको वचन सुन । तिमी भन्छौ, ‘इस्राएलको विरुद्धमा अगमवाणी नगर, र इसहाकको घरानाको विरुद्धमा नबोल ।’
Now therefore listen to the LORD’s word: ‘You say, Don’t prophesy against Israel, and don’t proclaim against the house 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 ।’”
Therefore the LORD says: ‘Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you yourself shall die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.’”
