1 तब परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयोः
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 “ए मानिसको छोरो, तेरो अनुहार यरूशलेमको विरुद्धमा फर्का र पवित्रस्‍थानहरूका विरुद्धमा बोल् । इस्राएल देशको विरुद्धमा अगमवाणी गर् ।
Son of man, direct thy face toward Jerusalem, and preach toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,
3 इस्राएल देशलाई यसो भन्, 'परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः हेर्, म तेरो विरुद्धमा छु । म आफ्‍नो तरवार त्‍यसको म्‍यानबाट थुत्‍नेछु र तेरा धर्मी मानिस र दुष्‍ट मानिस दुवैलाई काट्नेछु ।
And say to the land of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will be against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of its sheath; and I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.
4 धर्मी र दुष्‍ट दुवैलाई म खतम गर्नलाई दक्षिणदेखि उत्तरसम्‍म हरेक प्राणीको विरुद्ध मेरो तरवार म्‍यानबाट निस्‍कनेछ ।
But because I shall have cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked: therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north;
5 तब सबै प्राणीले थाहा पाउनेछन्, कि म परमप्रभुले नै मेरो तरवार म्‍यानबाट झिकेको छु । त्‍यो फेरि म्‍यानमा हालिनेछैन' ।
That all flesh may know that I the Lord have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath; it shall not return any more.
6 तेरो बारेमा, ए मानिसको छोरो, तेरो पटुका चुडिंदा सुस्‍केरा हाल्‌ । तीतो मन लिएर तिनीहरूले देख्‍ने गरी सुस्‍केरा हाल्‌ ।
But thou, son of man, do thou sigh: as though with broken loins, and with bitterness [of grief] shalt thou sigh before their eyes.
7 तब तिनीहरूले तँलाई सोध्‍नेछन्, ‘के कारणले तिमी सुस्‍केरा हाल्‍दैछौ?' अनि तैंले यसो भन्‍नेछस्, 'आएको समाचारको कारणले, किनकि हरेकको हृदयले मुर्छा खानेछ र हरेकको हात शिथिल हुनेछ । हरेकको आत्‍मा मुर्छित हुनेछ र हरेकको घुँडा पानीजस्‍तै कमजोर हुनेछ । हेर, त्‍यो आउँदैछ र त्‍यो यस्तो हुनेछ!— यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो' ।”
And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt say, For the report, because it cometh, when every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be made feeble, and every spirit shall become faint, and all knees shall be changed into water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the Lord Eternal.
8 तब परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
9 “ए मानिसको छोरो, अगमवाणी बोल् र यसो भन्, 'परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः “भन्: एउटा तरवार, एउटा तरवार! त्‍यो धारिलो र चम्‍किलो हुनेछ ।
Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus hath said the Lord, Say, The sword, the sword is sharpened, and also polished;
10 धेरै जनालाई काट्नलाई त्यसमा धार लगाइनेछ । बिजुलीझैं चम्‍कनलाई त्‍यसलाई टल्‍काइनेछ । के हामी मेरो छोराको राजदण्‍डमा आनन्‍दित हुनुपर्छ र? आउनेवाला तरवारले हरेक त्यस्ता राजदण्डलाई घृणा गर्छ ।
In order to make a thorough slaughter is it sharpened; in order that it may glitter is it polished: how can we now rejoice, [when] the rod which reacheth my son excelleth in hardness every tree?
11 यसैले त्यो तरवारलाई टल्‍काउन दिइनेछ र तब हातले समाइनेछ । त्यो तरवार धारिलो बनाइएको छ र त्‍यो टल्‍काइएको छ र मार्ने व्‍यक्‍तिको हातमा त्‍यो दिइएको छ ।”
And he hath given it to be polished, to make it fit to grasp it in the hand: it is the sword which is sharpened, and it is polished, to place it into the hand of the slayer.
12 ए मानिसको छोरो, गुहार माग् र विलाप गर् । किनकि त्‍यो तरवार मेरा मानिसहरूका विरुद्धमा आएको छ । त्‍यो इस्राएलका सबै अगुवाको विरुद्धमा छ। तिनीहरूलाई मेरा मानिसहरूसँगै तरवारमा फालिएका छन् । यसकारण आफ्नो तिग्रा ठटा ।
Cry aloud and wail, O son of man; for it cometh against my people, it cometh against all the princes of Israel; brought together for the sword are they with my people: therefore strike [thy hand] upon thy thigh.
13 किनकि जाँच आउनेछ, तर यहूदाको राजदण्‍ड रहेन भने नि?— यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो ।
For a purification taketh place: and what if the irresistible rod will also come? [my son] would not be able to exist, saith the Lord Eternal.
14 अब ए मानिसको छोरो, अगमवाणी बोल् र आफ्‍ना हातले ताली बजा, किन तरवारले तेस्रो पल्‍ट पनि आक्रमण गर्नेछ । एक-एक जनालाई मार्ने तरवार । यो तरवार धेरै जनालाई मार्न र हरेक दिशाबाट तिनीहरूलाई छेड्‍नलाई हो ।
But thou, son of man, prophesy, and strike thy hands together, and let “The sword” be repeated the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great that are slain, which lieth in wait for them everywhere.
15 तिनीहरूका हृदयहरू गलाउन र तिनीहरूका ढल्नेहरूको संख्या बढाउन, तिनीहरूका सबै ढोकामा मैले मार्नलाई तरवार राखेको छु । बिजुलीजस्‍तै चम्‍कनलाई त्‍यो बनाइएको छ, मार्नलाई त्‍यो समातिएको छ ।
In order to make timid the heart, and to multiply the stumbling-blocks, do I bring the howling of the sword against all their gates: ah! it is made bright, it is made thin-edged for the slaughter.
16 ए तरवार, दाहिनेतिर हान् । र देब्रेतिर प्रहार गर् । तेरो धार जता फर्काइन्‍छ त्‍यतै जा ।
Gather up thy strength, go to the right hand, direct thyself, go to the left, whithersoever thy edge is turned.
17 किन म पनि आफ्‍ना दुई हातले ताली बजाउनेछु, र मेरो क्रोध शान्‍त पार्नेछु । म, परमप्रभुले यो घोषणा गर्छु ।”
And I also, —I will strike my hands together, and I will cause my fury to be assuaged: I the Lord have spoken it.
18 परमप्रभुको वचन फेरि पनि यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
19 “ए मानिसको छोरो, बेबिलोनका राजाको तरवार आउनलाई दुई वटा बाटो रोज् । ती दुवै बाटो एउटै देशबाट सुरु हुनेछन् र तीमध्ये एउटामा सहरतिर जाने चिन्ह हुनेछ ।
But thou, O son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; out of one land shall both of them come forth: and select a place; at the head of the way to a city do thou select it.
20 अम्‍मोनीहरूको सहर रब्‍बामा बेबिलोनी फौज आउनलाई एउटा बाटोमा निशाना बनाइदे । अर्कोमा तिनै फौजलाई यहूदामा र किल्‍ला भएको यरूशलेम सहरमा आउनलाई एउटा निशाना बनाइदे ।
A way shalt thou appoint, that the sword may come against Rabbah of the children of 'Ammon, and [the other] against Judah [dwelling] in Jerusalem the fortified.
21 किनभने बेबिलोनका राजा जोखना हेर्नलाई चौबाटोमा, दोबाटोमा खडा हुनेछ । त्‍यसले केही काँडहरू चालाउनेछ र मूर्तिहरूसित सल्‍लाह लिनेछ, र त्‍यसले कलेजो जाँच्‍नेछ ।
For the king of Babylon hath halted at the parting of the way, at the commencement of the two ways, to use divination: he shaketh the arrows, he consulteth with images, he looketh at the liver.
22 यसको विरुद्धमा भत्‍काउने मूढा राख्‍नलाई, गला खोलेर मार्ने हुकुम दिनलाई, युद्धको आवाज सुनाउलाई, मूल ढोका भत्‍काउने ठुला-ठुला मूढाहरू लाउनलाई, घेरा-मचान खडा गर्नलाई त्‍यसको दाहिने हातमा यरूशलेमको चिट्ठा पर्नेछ ।
At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to erect battering-rams, to open the mouth with the [cry for] murder, to lift up the voice with shouting, to place battering-rams against the gates, to cast up a mound, and to build works of attack.
23 युद्धको निम्‍ति राजासित मित्रताको शपथ खाने यरूशलेका मानिसहरूलाई त्‍यो बेकारको जोखना हेरेजस्‍तो देखिनेछ । तर राजाले तिनीहरूलाई घेरा हल्‍नलाई तिनीहरूले सम्झौता उलङ्घन गरे भनेर तिनीहरूलाई दोष लगाउनेछ ।
And it will appear unto them as a false divination in their eyes, to those that had sworn oaths; but he will bring to remembrance their iniquity, that they may be caught.
24 यसकारण परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः तिमीहरूले आफ्‍ना सबै पाप कामहरू देखिने गरी आफ्ना अपराधलाई प्रकट गरेर तिमीहरूका दोष मलाई सम्‍झना गराएका हुनाले— तिमीहरूले यसो गरेका हुनाले, तिमीहरू हातले समातिनेछौ ।
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because ye have brought your iniquity to remembrance, as your transgressions are discovered, so that your sins do appear in all your doings: because ye are thus brought to remembrance, ye shall be caught by [his] hand.
25 ए इस्राएल अपवित्र र दुष्‍ट शासक, जसको दण्‍डको दिन आएको छ, र जसको अपराध गर्ने समय सकिएको छ,
And thou, death-deserving wicked one, prince of Israel, whose day is come, at the time of the iniquity of the end, —
26 परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर तँलाई यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः फेटा हटा र मुकुट उतार् । कुराहरू फेरि त्यस्तै हुनेछैनन् । खसालिएको व्‍यक्‍तिलाई उठाइनेछ, र उच्‍च सम्‍झने व्‍यक्‍तिलाई खसालिनेछ ।
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Remove the mitre, and take off the crown: this shall not be always so; exalt him that is low, and make him low that is high.
27 भग्‍नावशेष! भग्‍नावशेष! त्‍यसलाई म भग्‍नावशेष बनाउनेछु । न्याय गर्न नियुक्त व्‍यक्‍ति नआएसम्‍म त्‍यो फेरि पुनर्निर्माण गरिनेछैन ।
Overthrown, overthrown, overthrown will I render it: also this shall not belong [to any one], until he come whose right it is, and I will give it him.
28 यसैले, ए मानिसको छोरो, तँ अगमवाणी बोल् र यसो भन्, 'अम्‍मोनका मानिसहरूमा आउन लागेको अपमानको बारेमा परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः एउटा तरवार, एउटा तरवार तरवार थुतिएको छ । नष्‍ट गर्नलाई त्‍यसमा धार लगाइएको छ । त्‍यसैले त्‍यो बिजुलीझैं हुनेछ!
And thou, son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal concerning the children of 'Ammon, and concerning their reproach: even say thou, The sword, the sword is drawn; for the slaughter is it polished, to destroy, that it may continue to glitter;
29 अगमवक्ताहरूले तेरो विषयमा झूटो दर्शनहरू देखे तापनि, तेरो लागि झूटो धार्मिक विधिहरू गरे तापनि, यो तरवार मारिन लागेका दुष्‍टहरूको घाँटिमा पर्नेछ, जसको दण्डको दिन आएको छ र जसको अधर्मको समय सकिन लागेको छ ।
While they foresee unto thee falsehood, while they divine unto thee lies, to lay thee by the necks of the slain wicked, whose day is come, at the time of the iniquity of the end.
30 त्‍यो तरवारलाई त्‍यसको म्‍यानमा हाल्‌ । तँ सृष्‍ट गरिएको ठाउँमा, तेरा सुरुको देशमा म तेरो इन्‍साफ गर्नेछु ।
Put back [the sword] into its sheath! in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy origin, will I judge thee.
31 म मेरो क्रोध तँमाथि खन्‍याउनेछु! तेरो विरुद्धमा दन्‍केको मेरो रिस आगोझैं तँमाथि फुकिदिनेछु र तँलाई नाश गर्नलाई सिपालु, क्रूर मानिसहरूका हातमा सुम्‍पिदिनेछु ।
And I will pour out over thee my indignation, with the fire of my wrath will I blow against thee, and I will give thee up into the hand of brutish men, skilful in destroying.
32 तँ आगोको लागि दाउरा हुनेछस्‌ । तेरो रगत देशको माझमा बग्‍नेछ । तेरो सम्‍झना फेरि कहिल्‍यै हुनेछैन, किनकि म परमप्रभुले नै यो घोषणा गरेको छु' ।”
To the fire shalt thou be given to be devoured; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land: thou shalt not be remembered [any more]; for I the Lord have spoken it.
