इजकिएल 22

1 तब परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयोः

Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 “अब ए मानिसको छोरो, के तँ न्‍याय गर्छस्‌? के तँ त्‍यो रगतको सहरको न्‍याय गर्छस्‌? त्‍यसका सबै घृणित कुराहरू त्यसलाई जानकारी दे ।

Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yes, thou shalt show her all her abominations.

3 तैंले यसको भन्‍नुपर्छ, 'परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः आफ्‍नै अन्‍त्‍यको समय आओस् भनेर आफ्‍नो बिचमा रगत बगाउने सहर यही हो । आफूलाई बिटुलो पार्नलाई मूर्तिहरू बनाउने सहर यही हो ।

Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD; The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself.

4 तैंले बगाएको रगतको कारणले तँ दोषी भएको छस्‌, र तैंले बनाएका मूर्तिहरूद्वारा तँ अशुद्ध भएको छस्‌ । तैंले आफ्‍ना दिनहरूको अन्‍त्‍य गरेको छस्, र तेरा वर्षहरूको अन्‍त्‍य आएको छ । यसैकारण म तँलाई जातिहरूका बिचमा गिल्‍ला र सबै देशमा हाँसोको पात्र बनाउनेछु ।

Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself by thy idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come [even] to thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach to the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.

5 तेरो नजिक हुनेहरू र टाढा हुनेहरू दुवैले तेरो गिल्‍ला गर्नेछन्— तँ अपवित्र सहर— अलमल पार्ने कुराहरूले भरिएको सहरको रूपमा चिनिएको छस् ।

[Those that are] near, and [those that are] far from thee, shall mock thee, [who art] infamous [and] much troubled.

6 हेर्, इस्राएलका शासहरू, रगत बगाउन हरेक व्‍यक्‍ति आफ्‍नै शक्तिले तँकहाँ आएका छन् ।

Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood.

7 तँभित्रै तिनीहरूले माताहरू र बाबुहरूसँग अपमानको व्‍यवहार गरेका छन्‌, र तिनीहरूले तेरो बिचमा भएका विदेशीहरूमाथि अत्‍याचार गरेका छन् । तेरो बिचमा भएका टुहुरा-टुहुरी र विधवाहरूलाई तिनीहरूले दुर्व्‍यवहार गरेका छन्‌ ।

In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they oppressed the fatherless and the widow.

8 मेरा पवित्र कुराहरूलाई तैंले घृणा गरेको छस्‌ र मेरा शबाथहरूलाई अपवित्र पारेको छस्‌ ।

Thou hast despised my holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.

9 रगत बगाउनलाई हत्‍या गर्ने मानिसहरू तँभित्र आएका छन्, र तिनीहरूले डाँडाहरूमा खान्‍छन्‌ । तिनीहरूले तेरो बिचमा दुष्‍ट काम गर्छन्‌ ।

In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.

10 तेरो भित्र भएका मानिसहरूले आफ्‍ना पिताको नङ्नता प्रकट गर्छन्‌ । तेरो भित्र भएका मानिसहरूले रजस्‍वला भएकी स्‍त्रिसँग सम्‍भोग गरेर अशुद्ध भएका छन् ।

In thee have they uncovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.

11 आफ्‍नो छिमेकीकी पत्‍नीसँग घिनलाग्‍दा काम गर्ने मानिसहरू, र आफ्‍नी बुहारीहरूलाई लाज हुने किसिमले अशुद्ध पार्ने मानिसहरू, आफ्‍नै बहिनीहरू—आफ्‍ना बुबाकी छोरीहरूलाई बिगार्ने मानिसहरू —यी सबै जना तँभित्रै छन् ।

And one hath committed abomination with his neighbor's wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter.

12 तँभित्र यी मानिसहरूले रक्तपात गर्नलाई घूस लिन्‍छन्‌ र तैंले बढी ब्‍याज लिएर र धेरै मुनाफा कमाएको छस्, र थिचोमिचो गरेर तैंले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई नष्‍ट गरेको छस्, र तैंले मलाई बिर्सेको छस्— यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो ।

In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken interest and increase, and thou hast greedily gained from thy neighbors by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.

13 हेर्, तैंले अन्‍यायसित नाफा गरेको र तेरो बिचमा भएको रक्तपातलाई मैले आफ्‍नो हातले प्रहार गरेको छु ।

Behold, therefore I have smitten my hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.

14 मैले तँसित व्‍यवहार गरेको दिनमा के तेरो हृदय स्‍थिर रहला, अनि तेरो हात दह्रिलो होला र? म परमप्रभुले यो घोषणा गर्दैछु, र म त्‍यसै गर्नेछु ।

Can thy heart endure, or can thy hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken [it], and will do [it].

15 यसैले म तँलाई जातिहरूका बिचमा छरपष्‍ट पार्नेछु, र तँलाई देशहरूमा तितरबितर पार्नेछु । यसरी तँमा भएको अशुद्धताबाट तँलाई शुद्ध पार्नेछु ।

And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.

16 यसरी तँ जातिहरूका दृष्‍टिमा तँ अशुद्ध हुनेछस् । तब म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी तैंले जान्‍नेछस्‌' ।”

And thou shalt take thy inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.

17 त्‍यसपछि परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ भयो,

And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

18 “ए मानिसको छोरो, इस्राएलको घराना मेरो निम्‍ति थेग्रो भएको छ । ती सबै जना तिमीहरूका बिचमा काँसा, जस्‍ता, फलाम र सीसाका उब्रेका कुरा भएका छन्‌ । तिनीहरू तेरो भट्टीमा चाँदीका थेग्राझैं हुनेछन् ।

Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they [are] brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are [even] the dross of silver.

19 यसकारण परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'तिमीहरू सबै जना थेग्राजस्‍ता भएका हुनाले, म तिमीहरूलाई यरूशलेमको बिचमा जम्‍मा गर्न लागेको छु ।

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.

20 जसरी चाँदी, काँसा, फलाम, सीसा र जस्‍तालाई भट्टीमा गलाउनलाई मानिसहरूले जम्‍मा गर्छन्, त्‍यसरी नै म पनि मेरो रिस र मेरो क्रोधमा तिमीहरूलाई जम्‍मा गर्नेछु, र म तिमीहरूलाई त्‍यहाँ हाल्‍नेछु र तिमीहरूलाई गाल्‍नेछु ।

[As] they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt [it]; so will I gather [you] in my anger and in my fury, and I will leave [you there], and melt you.

21 म तिमीहरूलाई भेला गर्नेछु, र मेरो क्रोधको आगोमा तिमीहरूलाई फुक्‍नेछु, र तिमीहरू त्‍यसैभित्र गल्‍नेछौ ।

Yes, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst of it.

22 जसरी भट्टीमा चाँदी गल्‍छ, र तिमीहरू त्‍यसभित्र गल्‍नेछौ, र म परमप्रभुले नै तिमीहरूमाथि आफ्‍नो क्रोध खन्‍याएको हुँ भनी तिमीहरूले जान्‍नेछौ' ।”

As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst of it; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you.

23 परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,

And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

24 “ए मानिसको छोरो, त्यसलाई भन्, 'तँ शुद्ध नगरिएको देश होस् । क्रोधको दिनमा त्‍यहाँ वर्षा हुँदैन ।

Son of man, say to her, Thou [art] the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.

25 गर्जने सिंहले शिकार टुक्र्याएझैं त्‍यसको बिचमा भएका त्‍यसका अगमवक्‍ताहरूले एउटा षड्‌यन्‍त्र रच्छन् । तिनीहरूले मानिसहरूलाई निल्‍छन् र बहुमूल्‍य धन लुट्‌छन् । त्यसभित्र तिनीहरूले धेरै जनालाई विधवा बनाउँछन्‌ ।

[There is] a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst of her, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst of her.

26 त्‍यसका पुजारीहरूले मेरो व्‍यवस्‍था भङ्ग गर्छन्‌ र तिनीहरूले मेरा पवित्र चीजहरू तुच्‍छ ठान्‍छन्‌। तिनीहरूले पवित्र कुरा र तुच्‍छ कुराको बिचमा भिन्‍नता छुट्‍याउँदैनन्, अनि अशुद्ध र शुद्धको बिचको भिन्‍ता सिकाउँदैनन्। तिनीहरूले मेरा शबाथहरूबाट आफ्ना आँखा लुकाउँछन् ताकि तिनीहरूका बिचमा म तच्‍छ भएको छु ।

Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shown [difference] between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

27 त्‍यसभित्र भएका त्‍यसका शासकहरू आफ्‍नो शिकार फहराउने ब्‍वाँसाहरूजस्‍ता छन्‌ । तिनीहरूले बेईमानसाथ नाफा कमाउनलाई रगत बगाउँछन् र मानिसहरूलाई मार्छन्‌ ।

Her princes in the midst of her [are] like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, [and] to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.

28 त्‍यसका अगमवक्ताहरूले तिनीहरूमाथि चुनले पोतेका छन्। तिनीहरूले असत्‍य दर्शन देख्छन् र तिनीहरूका निम्‍ति झूटा अगमवाणी बोल्‍छन् । तिनीहरू भन्‍छन्, “परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छ,' जबकि परमप्रभु बोल्‍नुभएकै हुँदैन ।

And her prophets have daubed them with untempered [mortar], seeing vanity, and divining lies to them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.

29 देशका मानिसहरूले बलपूर्वक थिचोमिचो गरेका छन् र लुटपाट गरेर लूट मच्‍चाएका छन्, अनि तिनीहरूले गरीब र दरिद्रहरूमाथि दुर्व्‍यवहार गर्छन्, र विदेशीहरूसँग अन्‍यायपूर्वक थिचोमिचो गर्छन् ।

The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have oppressed the poor and needy: yes, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.

30 यसैले पर्खाल निर्माण गरिदिने र देश मद्वारा नष्‍ट नहोस्‌ भनी देशको लागि मेरो सामुन्‍ने धाँदोमा उभिदिने एक जना मानिस तिनीहरूका बिचमा मैले हेरें, तर मैले कोही पनि पाइनँ ।

And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

31 त्‍यसैले तिनीहरूमाथि म आफ्‍नो क्रोध खन्‍याउनेछु । मेरो रिसको आगोले म तिनीहरूलाई खत्तम गर्नेछु र तिनीहरूका चाल तिनीहरूकै थाप्‍लोमा हाल्‍नेछु— यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो ।"'

Therefore have I poured out my indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.
