< इजकिएल 2 >
1 उहाँले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “ए मानिसको छोरो, आफ्ना गोडामा खडा हो । तब म तँसित कुरा गर्नेछु ।”
And he said unto me, Son of man, stand up upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.
2 तब उहाँ मसित बोल्नुहुँदा, तब मभित्र आत्मा प्रवेश गर्नुभयो र मलाई आफ्ना खुट्टामा खडा गराउनुभयो, र उहाँले मसित कुरा बोलिरहनुभएको मैले सुनें ।
And a spirit entered into me as he spoke unto me, and it placed me upon my feet, and I heard him that spoke unto me.
3 उहाँले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “ए मानिसको छोरो, तँलाई म इस्राएलका मानिसहरूकहाँ पठाउँदैछु, एउटा विद्रोही जातिकहाँ, जसले मेरो विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गरेको छ—तिनीहरू र तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरू दुवैले आजको दिनसम्मै मेरो विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका छन् ।
And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to rebellious tribes that have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even until this very day.
4 तिनका सन्तानहरूका हठी अनुहारहरू र कठोर हृदयहरू छन् । तँलाई म तिनीहरूकहाँ पठाउँदैछु, र तैंले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नेछस्, 'परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ ।'
And the children are impudent of face, and obdurate of heart: I send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal.
5 तिनीहरूले सुन्नेछन् वा सुन्नेछैनन् । तिनीहरू विद्रोही घराना हुन्, तर तिनीहरूले कमसेकम आफ्ना बिचमा एक जना अगमवक्ता छन् भनी जान्नेछन् ।
And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, [for they are a rebellious family, ] shall yet know that a prophet hath been among them.
6 ए मानिसको छोरो, तँचाहिं तिनीहरूदेखि अथवा तिनीहरूका कुरादेखि नडरा । तँ सिउँडी र काँढा भए, अथवा तँ बिच्छीहरूका बिचमा बसे तापनि तँ नडरा । तिनीहरूका वचनहरूदेखि नडरा वा तिनीहरूका अनुहारहरूदेखि भयभीत नहो, किनकि तिनीहरू विद्रोही घराना हुन् ।
And thou, son of man, —thou shalt not be afraid of them, and of their words thou shalt have no fear, though they be briers and thorns with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: of their words be not afraid, and at their presence be not dismayed; for they are a rebellious family.
7 तर तिनीहरूले सुनुन् वा नसुनुन् तिनीहरूलाई मेरो वचन तैंले बोल्नेछस्, किनकि तिनीहरू ज्यादै विद्रोही छन् ।
And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are rebellious.
8 तर ए मानिसको छोरो, मैले तँलाई भनिरहेको कुरा सुन् । त्यो विद्रोही घरानाझैं तँ विद्रोही नहो । तेरो मुख खोल्, र मैले तँलाई जे दिन गइरहेको छु त्यो खा!”
But thou, son of man, hear what I am speaking unto thee, Be not thou rebellious like this rebellious family: open thy mouth, and eat what I give unto thee.
9 तब मैले हेरें, र एउटा हात मतिर पसारिएको थियो । त्यसमा एउटा लेखिएको मुट्ठो थियो ।
And then I looked, and behold, a hand was stretched out toward me; and, lo, a roll-book was therein;
10 उहाँले त्यसलाई मेरै सामु फिंजाउनुभयो । त्यसको अगाडि र पछाडि दुवैतिर लेखिएको थियो, र त्यसमा शोक, विलाप र विपत्तिका कुरा लेखिएका थिए ।
And he spread it out before me; and it was written within and without: and there were written therein lamentations, and dirges, and woe.
