< इजकिएल 22 >
1 तब परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयोः
Moreover the LORD’s word 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 ।
“You, son of man, will you judge? Will you judge the bloody city? Then cause her to know 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 ।
You shall say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “A city that sheds blood within herself, that her time may come, and that makes idols against herself to defile her!
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 ।
You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed, and are defiled in your idols which you have made! You have caused your days to draw near, and have come to the end of your years. Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
5 तेरो नजिक हुनेहरू र टाढा हुनेहरू दुवैले तेरो गिल्ला गर्नेछन्— तँ अपवित्र सहर— अलमल पार्ने कुराहरूले भरिएको सहरको रूपमा चिनिएको छस् ।
Those who are near and those who are far from you will mock you, you infamous one, full of tumult.
6 हेर्, इस्राएलका शासहरू, रगत बगाउन हरेक व्यक्ति आफ्नै शक्तिले तँकहाँ आएका छन् ।
“‘“Behold, the princes of Israel, everyone according to his power, have been in you 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 you have they treated father and mother with contempt. Amongst you they have oppressed the foreigner. In you they have wronged the fatherless and the widow.
8 मेरा पवित्र कुराहरूलाई तैंले घृणा गरेको छस् र मेरा शबाथहरूलाई अपवित्र पारेको छस् ।
You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
9 रगत बगाउनलाई हत्या गर्ने मानिसहरू तँभित्र आएका छन्, र तिनीहरूले डाँडाहरूमा खान्छन् । तिनीहरूले तेरो बिचमा दुष्ट काम गर्छन् ।
Slanderous men have been in you to shed blood. In you they have eaten on the mountains. They have committed lewdness amongst you.
10 तेरो भित्र भएका मानिसहरूले आफ्ना पिताको नङ्नता प्रकट गर्छन् । तेरो भित्र भएका मानिसहरूले रजस्वला भएकी स्त्रिसँग सम्भोग गरेर अशुद्ध भएका छन् ।
In you have they uncovered their fathers’ nakedness. In you have they humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.
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 ।
One has committed abomination with his neighbour’s wife, and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law. Another in you has 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 you have they taken bribes to shed blood. You have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbours by oppression, and have forgotten me,” says the Lord GOD.
13 हेर्, तैंले अन्यायसित नाफा गरेको र तेरो बिचमा भएको रक्तपातलाई मैले आफ्नो हातले प्रहार गरेको छु ।
“‘“Behold, therefore I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at the blood which has been shed within you.
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 your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I will deal with you? 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 ।
I will scatter you amongst the nations, and disperse you through the countries. I will purge your filthiness out of you.
16 यसरी तँ जातिहरूका दृष्टिमा तँ अशुद्ध हुनेछस् । तब म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी तैंले जान्नेछस्' ।”
You will be profaned in yourself in the sight of the nations. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”’”
17 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ भयो,
The LORD’s word 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 has become dross to me. All of them are bronze, tin, iron, and lead in the middle of the furnace. They are 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 the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the middle 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, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the middle of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it, so I will gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay 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 on you with the fire of my wrath, and you will be melted in the middle 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 middle of the furnace, so you will be melted in the middle of it; and you will know that I, the LORD, have poured out my wrath on you.’”
23 परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
24 “ए मानिसको छोरो, त्यसलाई भन्, 'तँ शुद्ध नगरिएको देश होस् । क्रोधको दिनमा त्यहाँ वर्षा हुँदैन ।
“Son of man, tell her, ‘You are a land that is not cleansed nor rained on 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 within it, like a roaring lion ravening the prey. They have devoured souls. They take treasure and precious things. They have made many widows within it.
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 done violence to my law and have profaned my holy things. They have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hidden their eyes from my Sabbaths. So I am profaned amongst them.
27 त्यसभित्र भएका त्यसका शासकहरू आफ्नो शिकार फहराउने ब्वाँसाहरूजस्ता छन् । तिनीहरूले बेईमानसाथ नाफा कमाउनलाई रगत बगाउँछन् र मानिसहरूलाई मार्छन् ।
Her princes within it are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood and to destroy souls, that they may 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 ।
Her prophets have plastered for them with whitewash, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, ‘The Lord GOD says,’ when the LORD has 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. Yes, they have troubled the poor and needy, and have oppressed the foreigner 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 ।
“I sought for a man amongst them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I would not destroy it; but I found no one.
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 I have poured out my indignation on them. I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. I have brought their own way on their heads,” says the Lord GOD.
