< आमोस 8 >

1 परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले मलाई यो कुरा देखाउनुभयो। ग्रीष्‍म ऋतुको फलको एउटा डालो हेर ।
This is what the Lord GOD showed me: I saw a basket of summer fruit.
2 उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “आमोस, तँ के देख्‍छस्?” मैले भनें, “ग्रीष्‍म ऋतुको फलको एउटा डालो ।” तब परमप्रभुले मलाई यसो भन्‍नुभयो, “मेरा मानिस, इस्राएलको निम्ति अन्‍त्‍य आएको छ । म तिनीहरूलाई अब बाँकी छोड्नेछैनँ ।
“Amos, what do you see?” He asked. “A basket of summer fruit,” I replied. So the LORD said to me, “The end has come for My people Israel; I will no longer spare them.”
3 यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो, त्यो दिनमा मन्दिरका गीतहरू रुवाबासीमा बद्लिनेछन्, धेरै लासहरू जता-ततै फलिनेछन्! शान्‍त हो!”
“In that day,” declares the Lord GOD, “the songs of the temple will turn to wailing. Many will be the corpses, strewn in silence everywhere!”
4 खाँचोमा परेकाहरूलाई थिचोमिचो गर्नेहरू, र गरीबहरूलाई देशबाट हटाउनेहरू, यो सुन ।
Hear this, you who trample the needy, who do away with the poor of the land,
5 तिनीहरू भन्छन्, “औंसी कहिले समाप्‍त हुन्छ, ताकि हामीहरूले फेरि अन्‍न बेच्‍न सकौं? शबाथ दिन कहिले समाप्‍त हुन्छ, ताकि हामीले गहुँ बेच्‍न सकौं? हामीले झुटो नापले ठगी गर्दा, हामी मानालाई सानो बनाउनेछौं र मुल्यलाई बढाउनेछौं ।
asking, “When will the New Moon be over, that we may sell grain? When will the Sabbath end, that we may market wheat? Let us reduce the ephah and increase the shekel; let us cheat with dishonest scales.
6 यसरी नै हामीले खराब गहुँ बेच्‍न सक्‍छौं, गरीबलाई चाँदीले, र खाँचोमा परेकाहरूलाई एक जोर जुत्ताले किन्‍न सक्‍छौं ।”
Let us buy the poor with silver and the needy for a pair of sandals, selling even the chaff with the wheat!”
7 परमप्रभुले याकूबको घमण्डमा यसरी शपथ खानुभएको छ, “निश्‍चय नै तिनीहरूका कुनै पनि कामहरू म कदापि बिर्सनेछैनँ ।”
The LORD has sworn by the Pride of Jacob: “I will never forget any of their deeds.
8 यसको निम्‍ति जमिन काम्‍नेछैन, अनि त्यसमा बसोबास गर्ने हरेकले विलाप गर्नेछैनन् र? त्यसको सबै थोक नील नदीझैं माथि उठ्नेछ, र मिश्रको नदीझैं त्यो छचल्‍किनेछ र डुब्‍नेछ ।
Will not the land quake for this, and all its dwellers mourn? All of it will swell like the Nile; it will surge and then subside like the Nile in Egypt.
9 “यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो— त्यो दिन यस्‍तो हुनेछ, सुर्यलाई दिउँसै अस्ताउनेछु म बनाउनेछु, र पृथ्वीलाई मध्यदिनमा नै अँध्यारो म बनाउनेछु ।
And in that day, declares the Lord GOD, I will make the sun go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the daytime.
10 तिमीहरूका चाडहरूलाई विलापमा, अनि तिमीहरूका सबै गीतलाई रुवाईमा म बद्लिनेछु । तिमीहरू सबैलाई भाङ्‍ग्रा लाउने, र हरेकले कपाल खौरन म बनाउनेछु । एक मात्र छोराको निम्ति विलाप गरेझैं, र त्यसको अन्‍त्‍यमा तीतो म बनाउनेछु ।
I will turn your feasts into mourning and all your songs into lamentation. I will cause everyone to wear sackcloth and every head to be shaved. I will make it like a time of mourning for an only son, and its outcome like a bitter day.
11 हेर्, यस्‍ता दिनहरू आउँदैछन्, यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो, जति बेला देशमा म अनिकाल पठाउनेछु, त्‍यो रोटीको अनिकाल होइन, न त पानीको तिर्खाको हो, तर त्‍यो परमप्रभुको वचन सुन्‍ने कुराको हो।
Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord GOD, when I will send a famine on the land— not a famine of bread or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.
12 परमप्रभुको वचनको खोज्‍नलाई तिनीहरू एक समुद्रदेखि अर्को समुद्रसम्‍म धर्मराउनेछन्, र उत्तरदेखि पूर्वसम्म दौडनेछन्, तर तिनीहरूले त्यो भेट्टाउनेछैनन् ।
People will stagger from sea to sea and roam from north to east, seeking the word of the LORD, but they will not find it.
13 त्यो दिनमा सुन्दरी कुमारीहरू र जवान मानिसहरू तिर्खाले मूर्छा हुनेछन् ।
In that day the lovely young women— the young men as well— will faint from thirst.
14 सामरियाको पापमा शपथ खानेहरू र ‘ए दान, तेरो देवता जीवित भएझैं,’ र ‘बेर्शेबाको देवता जीवित भएझैं,’ भनेर भन्‍नेहरू, तिनीहरू पतन हुनेछन् र फेरि कहिल्यै उठ्नेछैनन् ।”
Those who swear by the guilt of Samaria and say, ‘As surely as your god lives, O Dan,’ or, ‘As surely as the way of Beersheba lives’— they will fall, never to rise again.”
