< आमोस 8 >

1 परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले मलाई यो कुरा देखाउनुभयो। ग्रीष्‍म ऋतुको फलको एउटा डालो हेर ।
Thus hath the Lord GOD shown to 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 said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD to me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
3 यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो, त्यो दिनमा मन्दिरका गीतहरू रुवाबासीमा बद्लिनेछन्, धेरै लासहरू जता-ततै फलिनेछन्! शान्‍त हो!”
And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: [there shall be] many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast [them] forth with silence.
4 खाँचोमा परेकाहरूलाई थिचोमिचो गर्नेहरू, र गरीबहरूलाई देशबाट हटाउनेहरू, यो सुन ।
Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
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 will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
6 यसरी नै हामीले खराब गहुँ बेच्‍न सक्‍छौं, गरीबलाई चाँदीले, र खाँचोमा परेकाहरूलाई एक जोर जुत्ताले किन्‍न सक्‍छौं ।”
That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; and even sell the refuse of the wheat?
7 परमप्रभुले याकूबको घमण्डमा यसरी शपथ खानुभएको छ, “निश्‍चय नै तिनीहरूका कुनै पनि कामहरू म कदापि बिर्सनेछैनँ ।”
The LORD hath sworn by the excellence of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
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 ।
Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth in it? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood: and it shall be cast out and drowned, as [by] 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 shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:
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 I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only [son], and the end of it as 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 come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but 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 ।
And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find [it].
13 त्यो दिनमा सुन्दरी कुमारीहरू र जवान मानिसहरू तिर्खाले मूर्छा हुनेछन् ।
In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for 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 ।”
They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise again.
