< आमोस 8 >
1 परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले मलाई यो कुरा देखाउनुभयो। ग्रीष्म ऋतुको फलको एउटा डालो हेर ।
Thus the Lord GOD showed me: 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 ।
He said, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then the LORD said to me, “The end has come on my people 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!”
The songs of the temple will be wailing in that day,” says the Lord GOD. “The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence.
4 खाँचोमा परेकाहरूलाई थिचोमिचो गर्नेहरू, र गरीबहरूलाई देशबाट हटाउनेहरू, यो सुन ।
Hear this, you who desire to swallow up the needy, and cause 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 grain? And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat, making the efah small, and the shekel large, and dealing falsely with balances of 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 sandals, and sell the sweepings 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, “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 ।
Won’t the land tremble for this, and everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; and it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt.
9 “यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो— त्यो दिन यस्तो हुनेछ, सुर्यलाई दिउँसै अस्ताउनेछु म बनाउनेछु, र पृथ्वीलाई मध्यदिनमा नै अँध्यारो म बनाउनेछु ।
It will happen in that day,” says 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 ।
I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, and baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and its end 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 come,” says 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 LORD’s words.
12 परमप्रभुको वचनको खोज्नलाई तिनीहरू एक समुद्रदेखि अर्को समुद्रसम्म धर्मराउनेछन्, र उत्तरदेखि पूर्वसम्म दौडनेछन्, तर तिनीहरूले त्यो भेट्टाउनेछैनन् ।
They will wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will run back and forth to seek the LORD’s word, and will not find it.
13 त्यो दिनमा सुन्दरी कुमारीहरू र जवान मानिसहरू तिर्खाले मूर्छा हुनेछन् ।
In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will 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 ।”
Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, ‘As your god, Dan, lives,’ and, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives,’ they will fall, and never rise up again.”
