1 इस्राएलका धर्म-गुरुमध्‍ये कोही मकहाँ आए र मेरो सामुन्‍ने बसे ।
And there came to me men of the people of Israel, of the elders, and sat before me.
2 तब परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
3 “ए मानिसको छोरो, यी मानिसहरूले आफ्‍ना मूर्तिहरूलाई आफ्‍ना हृदयमा राखेका छन्, र आफ्‍नो अधर्मका ठक्‍कर लाग्‍ने ढुङ्गा आफ्‍नै अनुहारका सामु राखेका छन्‌ । के तिनीहरूले मेरो बारेमा सोध्‍न पाउँछन् र?
Son of man, these men have conceived their devices in their hearts, and have set before their faces the punishment of their iniquities: shall I indeed answer them?
4 यसकारण तिनीहरू यो कुरा घोषणा गर र तिनीहरूलाई यसो भन्, 'परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः इस्राएलका घरानाका हरेक मानिस जसले आफ्‍नो हृदयमा मूर्तिहरू राख्‍छन्, र आफ्‍नो अधर्मको ठक्‍कर लाग्‍ने ढुङ्गा आफ्‍नो अनुहारको सामुन्‍ने राख्‍छन्, र पनि अगमवक्ताकहाँ जान्‍छन्, म परमप्रभुले त्‍यसका मूर्तिहरूका संख्याअनुसार त्‍यसलाई जवाफ दिनेछु ।
Therefore speak to them, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord; Any man of the house of Israel, who shall conceive his devices in his heart, and shall set the punishment of his iniquity before his face, and shall come to the prophet; I the Lord will answer him [according to the things] in which his mind is entangled,
5 आफ्‍ना मूर्तिहरूको कारण आफ्‍ना हृदयहरू मबाट टाढा भएका इस्राएलका घरानालाई मैले फर्काउन सकौं भनेर म यसो गर्नेछु ।’
that he should turn aside the house of Israel, according to their hearts that are estranged from me in their thoughts.
6 यसकारण इस्राएलका घरानालाई यसो भन्, 'परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः पश्‍चात्ताप गर र आफ्‍ना मूर्तिहरूदेखि फर्क । सबै घिनलाग्‍दा कुराबाट आफ्ना मुख फर्काओ ।
Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God, Be converted, and turn from your [evil] practices, and from all your sins, and turn your faces back again.
7 किनकि इस्राएलका घरानाको हरेक व्‍यक्‍ति र इस्राएलमा बस्‍ने हरेक विदेशी व्‍यक्‍ति जसले मलाई त्‍याग्‍छ, जसले आफ्‍ना मूर्तिहरू आफ्‍ना हृदयमा राख्‍छ र आफ्‍नो अधर्मको ठक्‍कर लाग्‍ने ढुङ्गा आफ्‍नै अनुहारको सामु राख्‍छ, र त्‍यसपछि मलाई खोज्‍न कुनै अगमवक्ताकहाँ जान्‍छ, त्‍यसलाई म परमप्रभु आफैले जवाफ दिनेछु ।
For any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, who shall separate himself from me, and conceive his imaginations in his heart, and set before his face the punishment of his iniquity, and come to the prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the Lord will answer him, [according to the things] wherein he is entangled.
8 यसरी म आफ्‍नो मुख त्‍यस मानिसको विरुद्धमा लगाउनेछु, र त्‍यसलाई एउटा सङ्केत र उखानको पात्र बनाउनेछु, किनकि त्‍यसलाई म आफ्‍ना मानिसहरूका बिचदेखि बहिष्‍कार गर्नेछु र म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी तिमीहरूले जान्‍नेछौ ।
And I will set my face against that man, and will make him desolate and ruined, and will cut him off from the midst of my people; and you shall know that I am the Lord.
9 कुनै एक जना अगमवक्ता छलमा पर्छ र यस्‍तो सन्देश भन्‍छ भने, म परमप्रभुले त्‍यस अगमवक्ता छलमा पार्नेछु । म आफ्‍ना हात त्‍यसको विरुद्धमा पसार्नेछु, र मेरो मानिस इस्राएलको बिचबाट त्‍यसलाई नाश गर्नेछु ।
And if a prophet should cause to err and should speak, I the Lord have caused that prophet to err, and will stretch out my hand upon him, and will utterly destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
10 तिनीहरूका आफ्‍ना अपराध तिनीहरूले बोक्‍नेछन् । अगमवक्ताको अपराधचाहिं र उसँग सल्‍लाह लिनेको अपराधजस्‍तै हुनेछ ।
And they shall bear their iniquity according to the trespass of him that asks; and it shall be in like manner to the prophet according to the trespass:
11 यसकारण, इस्राएलका घरानाले मलाई पछ्‍याउनदेखि फेरि कहिल्‍यै बरालिनेछैनन्‌ न त आफ्‍ना सबै पापहरूले तिनीहरूले फेरि कहिल्‍यै आफैलाई अपवित्र पार्नेछन्‌ । तिनीहरू मेरा मानिसहरू हुनेछन्‌ र म तिनीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुनेछु । यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो ।’”
that the house of Israel may no more go astray from me, and that they may no more defile themselves with any of their transgressions: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God, says the Lord.
12 तब परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
13 “ए मानिसको छोरो, कुनै देशले पाप गरेर मेरो विरुद्धमा पाप गर्छ, ताकि त्‍यसको विरुद्धमा आफ्‍नो हात पसारें र त्‍यसको खाद्य भण्‍डार म नाश गरें, र अनिकाल ल्‍याएँ र मानिस र पशु दुवैलाई नाश गरें भने,
Son of man, if a land shall sin against me by committing a trespass, then will I stretch out my hand upon it, and will break its staff of bread, and will send forth famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast.
14 तब नोआ, दानिएल र अय्‍यूब, यी तिन जना मानिसहरू त्‍यहाँ भए भने पनि तिनीहरूले आफ्‍नो धार्मिकताद्वारा आफ्‍नै प्राण मात्र बचाउन सक्‍छन् । यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो ।
And though these three men should be in the midst of it, Noe, and Daniel, and Job, they [alone] should be delivered by their righteousness, says the Lord.
15 मैले त्‍यस देशमा जङ्गली जनावरहरू पठाएँ, र तिनीहरूले त्‍यसलाई बाँझो तुल्‍याए र त्‍यो देश उजाड भयो, जहाँ जनावरहरूका कारणले कुनै मानिस गएन भने,
If again I bring evil beasts upon the land, and take vengeance upon it, and it be ruined, and there be no one to pass through for fear of the wild beasts:
16 तब यी तिन जना मानिस त्‍यहाँ भए भने पनि, जस्‍तो म जीवित छु, परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, तिनीहरूले आफ्‍नै छोराछोरीलाई पनि बचाउन सक्‍दैनन् । तिनीहरूका आफ्‍नो जीवन मात्र बाँच्‍नेछ, तर देशचाहिं उजाड हुनेथियो ।
and [if] these three men should be in the midst of it, [as] I live, says the Lord, neither sons nor daughters shall be saved, but these only shall be saved, and the land shall be destroyed.
17 अथवा मैले त्‍यस देशको विरुद्धमा तरवार ल्‍याएँ र यसो भनें, 'ए तरवार, देशभरि जा र त्‍यहाँबाट मानिसहरू र जनावरहरू दुवैलाई काट् ।'
Or again if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Let the sword go through the land; and I cut off from them man and beast:
18 तब यी तिन जना मानिस त्‍यो दैशको बिचमा भए भने पनि, जस्‍तो म जीवित छु, परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर भन्‍नुहुन्‍छ, तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना छोराछोरीलाई बचाउन सक्‍दैनन् । तिनीहरूका आफ्‍नो जीवन मात्र बाँच्‍नेछ ।
though these three men were in the midst of it, as I live, says the Lord, they shall not deliver sons or daughters, but they only shall be saved themselves.
19 अथवा मैले यो देशको विरुद्धमा रूढी पठाएँ र रगत बगाएर त्‍यसका मानिसहरू र पशुहरूलाई मारेर मैले आफ्‍नो क्रोध पोखाएँ भने,
Or [if] again I send pestilence upon that land, and pour out my wrath upon it in blood, to destroy from off it man and beast:
20 तब नोआ, दानिएल र अय्‍यूब त्‍यो देशमा भए भने पनि, जस्‍तो म जीवित छु, परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर भन्‍नुहुन्‍छ, तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना छोराछोरीलाई बचाउन सक्‍दैनन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्‍नो धार्मिकताद्वारा आफ्‍नै प्राण मात्र बचाउन सक्‍छन् ।
and should Noe, and Daniel, and Job, be in the midst of it, [as] I live, says the Lord, there shall be left [them] neither sons nor daughters; [only] they by their righteousness shall deliver their souls.
21 किनकि परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः यरूशलेमको विरुद्धा मेरा चारवटा दण्‍डहरू— तरवार, अनिकाल, जङ्गली पशुहरू र रूढी पठाएर, त्‍यहाँका मानिस र पशुहरू दुवैलाई देशबाट नाश गरेर म धैरै खराब तुल्‍याउनेछु ।
Thus says the Lord, And if I even send upon Jerusalem my four sore judgements, sword, and famine, and evil beasts, and pestilence, to destroy from out of it man and beast;
22 तापनि हेर्, त्‍यसमा कोही बाँकी हुनेछन्‌, र बचेकाहरू आफ्‍ना छोराहरू र छोरीहरूका साथमा बाहिर निस्‍केर जानेछन्‌ । हेर्, तिनीहरू बाहिर तिमीहरूकहाँ आउनेछन्, र तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूका चालहरू र कामहरू हेर्नेछौ, र मैले यरूशलेममा ल्‍याएका ती दण्‍ड र देशको विरुद्ध मैले ल्याएका सबै कुराबाट तिमीहरूलाई सान्‍त्‍वना हुनेछ ।
yet, behold, [there shall be] men left in it, the escaped thereof, who [shall] lead forth of it sons and daughters: behold, they [shall] go forth to you, and you shall see their ways and their thoughts: and you shall mourn over the evils which I have brought upon Jerusalem, [even] all the evils which I have brought upon it.
23 बाँचेकाहरूका चाल र कामहरू देखेर तिमीहरूले सान्‍त्‍वना पाउनेछौ, यसरी मैले त्‍यसको विरुद्धमा गरेका यी सबै कुरा, र ती मैले व्‍यर्थमा गरिनँ भनी तिमीहरूले जान्‍नेछौ । यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो ।
And they shall comfort you, because you shall see their ways and their thoughts: and you shall know that I have not done in vain all that I have done in it, says the Lord.
