< आमोस 8 >
1 परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले मलाई यो कुरा देखाउनुभयो। ग्रीष्म ऋतुको फलको एउटा डालो हेर ।
Thus has Lord YHWH showed me, and behold, 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 ।
And He says, “What are you seeing, Amos?” And I say, “A basket of summer-fruit.” And YHWH says to me: “The end has come to My people Israel, I no longer pass over to it anymore.
3 यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो, त्यो दिनमा मन्दिरका गीतहरू रुवाबासीमा बद्लिनेछन्, धेरै लासहरू जता-ततै फलिनेछन्! शान्त हो!”
And female singers have howled of a palace in that day,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “Many [are] the carcasses, into any place throw—hush!”
4 खाँचोमा परेकाहरूलाई थिचोमिचो गर्नेहरू, र गरीबहरूलाई देशबाट हटाउनेहरू, यो सुन ।
Hear this, you who are swallowing up the needy, To cause the poor of the land to cease,
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 ।
Saying, “When does the new moon pass, And we sell ground grain? And the Sabbath, and we open out pure grain? To make little the ephah, And to make great the shekel, And to use balances of deceit perversely.
6 यसरी नै हामीले खराब गहुँ बेच्न सक्छौं, गरीबलाई चाँदीले, र खाँचोमा परेकाहरूलाई एक जोर जुत्ताले किन्न सक्छौं ।”
To purchase the poor with money, And the needy for a pair of sandals, Indeed, the refuse of the pure grain we sell.”
7 परमप्रभुले याकूबको घमण्डमा यसरी शपथ खानुभएको छ, “निश्चय नै तिनीहरूका कुनै पनि कामहरू म कदापि बिर्सनेछैनँ ।”
YHWH has sworn by the excellence of Jacob: “I do not forget any of their works forever.
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 ।
Does the land not tremble for this, And every dweller in it has mourned? And all of it has come up as a flood. And it has been cast out, and has sunk, Like the flood of Egypt.
9 “यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो— त्यो दिन यस्तो हुनेछ, सुर्यलाई दिउँसै अस्ताउनेछु म बनाउनेछु, र पृथ्वीलाई मध्यदिनमा नै अँध्यारो म बनाउनेछु ।
And it has come to pass in that day,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “I have caused the sun to go in at noon, And caused darkness on the land in a day of light,
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 ।
And have turned your festivals to mourning, And all your songs to lamentation, And caused sackcloth to come up on all loins, And on every head—baldness, And made it as a mourning of an only one, And its latter end as a day of bitterness.
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, days are coming,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “And I have sent a famine into the land, Not a famine of bread, nor a thirst of water, But of hearing the words of YHWH.
12 परमप्रभुको वचनको खोज्नलाई तिनीहरू एक समुद्रदेखि अर्को समुद्रसम्म धर्मराउनेछन्, र उत्तरदेखि पूर्वसम्म दौडनेछन्, तर तिनीहरूले त्यो भेट्टाउनेछैनन् ।
And they have wandered from sea to sea, And from north even to east, They go to and fro to seek the word of YHWH, And they do not find [it].
13 त्यो दिनमा सुन्दरी कुमारीहरू र जवान मानिसहरू तिर्खाले मूर्छा हुनेछन् ।
In that day the beautiful virgins, And the young men, faint with 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 swearing by the guilt of Samaria, And who have said, Your god lives, O Dan, And, The way of Beer-Sheba lives, Indeed, they have fallen and do not rise again!”
