इजकिएल 23

1 'परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

2 “ए मानिसको छोरो, एउटै आमाका दुई छोरीहरू त्‍यहाँ थिए ।

'Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother;

3 आफ्नो जवानी दिनमा तिनीहरूले मिश्रदेशमा वेश्‍यावृति गरे । तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ वेश्याको काम गरे । त्यहाँ तिनीहरूका स्‍तन मिचिए र तिनीहरूको कुमारी अवस्‍थाको मुन्टाहरू खेलाइए ।

and they committed harlotries in Egypt; they committed harlotries in their youth; there were their bosoms pressed, and there their virgin breasts were bruised.

4 तिनिहरूमा दिदीको नाउँ ओहोला र बहिनीको नाउँ ओहोलिबा थियो । तब तिनीहरू मेरा भए, र तिनीहरूले छोराछोरी जन्‍माए । तिनीहरूका नाउँको अर्थ यही होः ओहोलाको अर्थ सामरिया र ओहोलिबाको अर्थ यरूशलेम हो ।

And the names of them were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister; and they became Mine, and they bore sons and daughters. And as for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.

5 तर मेरै भएको बेलामा पनि ओहोलाले वेश्‍यावृत्ति गरी । आफ्‍ना प्रेमी, प्रभावशाली अश्‍शूरीहरूसित त्‍यो मोहित भई,

And Oholah played the harlot when she was Mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians, warriors,

6 नीलो वस्‍त्र लाउने गभर्नर र तिनका अधिकारीहरू, जो बलिया र सुन्दर थिए, ती सबै जना घोडा चढ्ने मानिसहरू थिए ।

clothed with blue, governors and rulers, handsome young men all of them, horsemen riding upon horses.

7 यसरी तिनीहरू, सबै असल अश्‍शूरी मानिसहरूलाई त्यसले आफैलाई सुम्पिदिई, र त्‍यो मोहित भएका हरेक व्‍यक्‍तिसँग अनि तिनीहरूका सबै मूर्तिहरूसँग त्यसले आफैलाई अशुद्ध पारी ।

And she bestowed her harlotries upon them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and on whomsoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself.

8 किनकि त्‍यसले मिश्रदेशमा हुँदा पनि त्‍यसको वेश्‍यावृतिको व्‍यवहार छाडेकी थिईन । जति बेला त्‍यो एउटी जवान केटी थिई, त्‍यति बेला तिनीहरू त्‍योसित सुतेका थिए । त्‍यति बेला तिनीहरूले पहिलो पल्‍ट त्‍यसका कन्‍या स्‍तनहरू खेलाएका थिए । त्‍यति बेला तिनीहरूले त्‍यससित आफ्‍ना यौनका छाडा व्‍यवहार गर्न सुरु गरेका थिए ।

Neither hath she left her harlotries brought from Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised her virgin breasts; and they poured out their lust upon her.

9 यसकारण त्यसका प्रेमीहरूका हातमा अर्थात् अश्‍शूरीहरूका हातमा मैले त्यसलाई सुम्पिदिएँ, जोसँग त्यो मोहित भई ।

Wherefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.

10 तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई नाङ्गो पारे, त्यसका छोराछोरीलाई लगे, त्यसलाई तरवारले मारे र अरू स्‍त्रीहरूका माझमा त्यो कुख्‍यात भई । यसरी तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई दण्ड दिए ।

These uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters, and her they slew with the sword; and she became a byword among women, for judgments were executed upon her.

11 त्‍यसकी बहिनी ओहोलिबाले त्‍यो कुरा देखी, तर त्‍यो झन् बढी कामुक भई र आफ्‍नी दिदीभन्‍दा पनि बढी वेश्‍यावृत्तिको काम गर्न लागी ।

And her sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her harlotries more than her sister in her harlotries.

12 अश्‍शूरीहरू, तिनका गभर्नरहरू र आकर्षक किसिमले वस्‍त्र पहिरिने अधिकारीहरूसँग त्यो कामुक भई, जो घोडा चढ्‍ने मानिसहरू थिए । ती सबै जना बलिया र सुन्दर मानिसहरू थिए ।

She doted upon the Assyrians, governors and rulers, warriors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them handsome young men.

13 त्यसले आफैलाई अशुद्ध पारेकी मैले देखें । ती दुवै जना दिदीबहिनी उस्‍तै थिए ।

And I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way.

14 त्‍यसपछि त्‍यसले आफ्‍नो वेश्‍यावृत्ति झन्‌ बढाई । भित्तामा कोरिएका मानिसहरू, भित्तामा रातो रङ्गले पेन्‍ट गरेर बनाइएका कल्‍दीहरूका चित्रहरू त्यसले देखी,

And she increased her harlotries; for she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,

15 आफ्‍ना कम्‍मर वरिपरि पटुका बाँधेका र आफ्‍ना शिरमा लट्‌कने फेटा बाँधेका । ती सबै जना कल्‍दी फौजका रथी अधिकारीहरूजस्‍ता, बेबिलोनियाका छोराहरूजस्‍तै देखिन्‍थे, जसको आफ्‍नो देश कल्‍दीया हो ।

girded with girdles upon their loins, with pendant turbans upon their heads, all of them captains to look upon, the likeness of the sons of Babylon, even of Chaldea, the land of their nativity.

16 त्‍यसले उनीहरूलाई देख्‍ने बित्तिकै उनीहरूका निम्‍ति त्‍यो कामुक भई । यसैले कल्‍दिया देशमा उनीहरूकहाँ त्‍यसले दूतहरू पठाई ।

And as soon as she saw them she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.

17 त्‍यसपछि बेबिलोनीहरू त्‍यसकहाँ त्‍यसको कामुक ओच्छ्यानमा आए र आफ्‍ना छाडा यौनले तिनीहरूले त्‍यसलाई अशुद्ध पारे । त्‍यसले जे गरेकी थिई त्‍यसद्वारा त्‍यो अशुद्ध भई । यसरी मनमा घृणा बोकेर त्‍यो उनीहरूसँग टाढा भई ।

And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their lust; and she was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.

18 जब त्‍यसले आफ्‍ना वेश्‍यावृत्तिका कामहरू गरी र आफ्‍नो नग्‍नता देखाई, तब जसरी मनमा घृणा बोकेर त्‍यसकी दिदीसँग म टाढा भएको थिएँ, त्‍यसरी नै म त्योसँग पनि टाढा भएँ ।

So she uncovered her harlotries, and uncovered her nakedness; then My soul was alienated from her, like as My soul was alienated from her sister.

19 तब मिश्रदेशमा त्‍यो वेश्या हुँदाको, आफ्‍ना युवावस्‍थाका समयलाई सम्‍झेर त्‍यसले आफ्‍नो वेश्‍यावृत्ति झन्‌ बढाई ।

Yet she multiplied her harlotries, remembering the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.

20 यसरी त्‍यो आफ्‍ना प्रेमीहरूसित कामुक भई, जसका गुताङ्गहरू गधाहरूका जस्‍ता थिए, अनि जसका वीर्य घोडाहरूका झैं निस्‍कन्‍थ्‍यो ।

And she doted upon concubinage with them, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

21 मिश्रीहरूले तेरा स्‍तनका मुन्‍टाहरू खेलाउँदा र तेरा जवानीका स्‍तनहरू मिच्‍दा, तैंले आफ्‍ना जवानीका लज्‍जापूर्ण कामहरू यसरी नै गरिस् ।

Thus thou didst call to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, when they from Egypt bruised thy breasts for the bosom of thy youth.

22 यसैकारण ए ओहोलिबा, परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः ‘हेर्, तेरा प्रेमीहरूलाई म तेरो विरुद्धमा उठाउनेछु । जसबाट तँ टाढा भईस्, उनीहरूलाई चारैतिरबाट म तेरो विरुद्धमा ल्‍याउनेछुः

Therefore, O Oholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side:

23 बेबिलोनीहरू र सबै कल्‍दीहरू, पकोद, शोअ र कोअका मानिसहरू, र तिनीहरूसँगै सबै अश्‍शूरहरू, बलिया, सुन्‍दर मानिसहरू, गभर्नरहरू, कमाण्‍डरहरू, ती सबै जना अधिकारीहरू र इज्‍जतदार मानिसहरूलाई, घोडामा सवार सबै जना मानिसहरूलाई ।

the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, handsome young men, governors and rulers all of them, captains and councillors, all of them riding upon horses.

24 उनीहरू तेरो विरुद्धमा हतियारहरू र रथहरू र गाडाहरू र मानिसहरूका ठुलो भीडलाई साथमा लिएर आउनेछन्‌ । ठुला ढालहरू, साना ढालहरू लिएर र टोप लाएर उनीहरूले तँलाई घेरा हाल्‍नेछन्‌ । तँलाई दण्‍ड दिने मौका उनीहरूलाई म दिनेछु, र उनीहरूले आफ्‍ना कामहरूले तँलाई दण्‍ड दिनेछन्‌ ।

And they shall come against thee with hosts, chariots, and wheels, and with an assembly of peoples; they shall set themselves in array against thee with buckler and shield and helmet round about; and I will commit the judgment unto them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.

25 मेरो डाहको रिस तँतिर म फर्काउनेछु, र क्रोधमा उनीहरूले तँसित व्‍यवहार गर्नेछन्‌ । उनीहरूले तेरा नाक र कान काट्‌नेछन्, र तेरा बाँचेकाहरू तरवारले ढल्‍नेछन्‌ । उनीहरूले तेरा छोराछोरीलाई लानेछन्, र तेरा बाँचेकाहरूलाई आगोले भस्‍म पार्नेछ ।

And I will set My jealousy against thee, and they shall deal with thee in fury; they shall take away thy nose and thine ears, and thy residue shall fall by the sword; they shall take thy sons and thy daughters, and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.

26 उनीहरूले तेरा वस्‍त्र उतारेर तँलाई नाङ्गै बनाउनेछन्, र तेरा सबै गहना लैजानेछन्‌ ।

They shall also strip thee of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels.

27 यसरी तेरा लाजमर्दो व्यवहार र मिश्रदेशदेखि तैंले सुरु गरेका तेरा वेश्‍यावृत्तिका कामहरू तँबाट म हटाउनेछु । तैंले यी कुराहरूतिर आफ्‍ना कुदृष्‍टि लगाउनेछैनस्‌, र मिश्रदेशको सम्‍झना फेरि तैंले गर्नेछैनस्‌ ।'

Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy harlotry brought from the land of Egypt, so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.

28 किनभने परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः 'हेर्, म तँलाई उनीहरूकै हातमा दिनेछु, जसलाई तँ घृणा गर्छेस्, उनीहरूकै हातमा जसबाट तँ टाढा भएकी थिइस् ।

For thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy soul is alienated;

29 उनीहरूले तँसित घृणापूर्वक व्‍यवहार गर्नेछन् । तेरा सबै धन-सम्‍पत्ति उनीहरूले लानेछन्‌, र तँलाई नाङ्गो र उजाड पारेर छोड्‌नेछन् । अनि तँ कामुक र वेश्‍यावृत्तिमा संलग्‍न हुँदा भएझैं तँलाई नाङ्गो पारिनेछ ।

and they shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare; and the nakedness of thy harlotries shall be uncovered, both thy lewdness and thy harlotries.

30 वेश्‍याले झैं तैंले काम गरेको, जातिहरूसँग कामुक भएको, उनीहरूका मूर्तिहरूद्वारा तँ अशुद्ध भएको हुनाले यी कुराहरू तँलाई हुनेछेन् ।

These things shall be done unto thee, for that thou hast gone astray after the nations, and because thou art polluted with their idols.

31 तँ आफ्‍नी दिदीकै चालमा हिंडेकी छेस्‌, यसैले त्‍यसको दण्‍डको कचौरा म तेरो हातमा दिनेछु ।'

In the way of thy sister hast thou walked; therefore will I give her cup into thy hand.

32 परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छ, ‘तैंले तेरी दिदीको कचौरा पिउनेछस्, जो ठुलो र गहिरो छ । तँ गिल्‍ला पात्र र हाँसोको विषय हुनेछेस्— यो कचौरामा धेरै अट्छ ।

Thus saith the Lord GOD: Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup, which is deep and large; thou shalt be for a scorn and a derision; it is full to the uttermost.

33 मतवालापन र दुःखले, त्रास र विनाशको कचौराले तँ पूर्ण हुनेछेस्‌ । तेरी दिदी सामरियाको कचौरा ।

Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and appalment, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.

34 तैंले त्यो पिउनेछेस् र त्‍यसलाई रित्तो पार्नेछेस् । त्यसपछि तैंले त्‍यो कचौरा टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नेछेस्, र ती टुक्राले आफ्‍ना स्‍तनहरू काट्नेछेस् । किनकि मैले नै यो घोषणा गरेको हुँ— यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो ।'

Thou shalt even drink it and drain it, and thou shalt craunch the sherds thereof, and shalt tear thy breasts; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.

35 यसकारण परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छ, ‘तैंले मलाई बिर्सेको र मलाई तेरो पछाडि फालेको छस्, यसैले आफ्‍नो लज्‍जास्‍पद व्‍यवहार र यौनको अनैतिक कामहरूका दुष्‍परिणामहरू तैंले सहनुपर्नेछ' ।”

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because thou hast forgotten Me, and cast Me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy harlotries.'

36 परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “ए मानिसको छोरो, के तैंले ओहोला र ओहोलिबाको न्‍याय गर्नेछस्? त्‍यसैले तिनीहरूका घृणित कामहरूका तिनीहरूलाई विरोध गर,

The LORD said moreover unto me: 'Son of man, wilt thou judge Oholah and Oholibah? then declare unto them their abominations.

37 किनकि तिनीहरूले व्‍यभिचार गरेका छन्, र तिनीहरूका हातहरूमा रगत छ । तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना मूर्तिहरूसित व्‍यभिचार गरे, र तिनीहरूका मूर्तिहरूका प्रसादको रूपमा तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना छोराहरूलाई आगोबाट हिंड्न पनि लगाएका छन् ।

For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery; and their sons, whom they bore unto Me, they have also set apart unto them to be devoured.

38 त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले अहिले निरन्तर मलाई यसो गर्छन्‌: तिनीहरूले मेरो पवित्रस्‍थानलाई अशुद्ध पार्छन्, र त्यसै दिनमा तिनीहरूले मेरा शबाथहरूलाई अपवित्र पार्छन् ।

Moreover this they have done unto Me: they have defiled My sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned My sabbaths.

39 किनभने तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना छोराछोरीलाई आफ्‍ना मूर्तिहरूका निम्‍ति बलि चढाएका, अनि त्‍यसै दिन तिनीहरू मेरो पवित्रस्‍थानलाई अशुद्ध पार्न त्‍यसभित्र आए । यसैले हेर्, तिनीहरूले मेरो मन्‍दिरको बिचमा यसो गरेका छन् ।

For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into My sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of My house.

40 अब हेर— दूतहरूले पठाएका टाढाबाट आएका मानिसहरूलाई तैंले बोलाईस् । तिनीहरू साँच्‍चै आए जसका निम्‍ति तैंले नुहाईस्, आँखामा गाजल लगाईस् र आफूलाई गहनाले सिंगारिस्‌ ।

And furthermore ye have sent for men that come from far; unto whom a messenger was sent, and, lo, they came; for whom thou didst wash thyself, paint thine eyes, and deck thyself with ornaments;

41 त्यहाँ तँ एउटा सुन्‍दर पलङ्गमा बसिस्, र त्‍यसको अगाडि सजाइएको टेबलमा मेरो धूप र मेरो तेल राखिस्‌ ।

and sattest upon a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon thou didst set Mine incense and Mine oil.

42 यसैले हल्ला गर्ने भीड त्यसको वरिपरी थियो । तिनमा सबै किसिमका मानिसहरू, यतिसम्म कि उजाड-स्‍थानबाट साबीहरू पनि ल्याइए, र उनीहरूले आफ्‍ना हातमा चुराहरू लगाए र शिरमा सुन्दर मुकुटहरू लगाए ।

And the voice of a multitude being at ease was therein; and for the sake of men, they were so many, brought drunken from the wilderness, they put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.

43 तब व्‍भिचारले दिक्‍क भएकी स्‍त्रीको विषयमा मैले यसो भनें, 'अब उनीहरू त्‍यससँग यौनका अनैतिक काम गर्नेछन्, र त्यसले उनीहरूसँग गर्नेछे ।’

Then said I of her that was worn out by adulteries: Still they commit harlotries with her, even her.

44 जसरी मानिसहरू एउटी वेश्याकहाँ जान्‍छन् त्‍यसरी उनीहरू त्‍यसकहाँ गए र त्‍यससँग सुते । यसरी उनीहरू ती अनैतिक स्‍त्रीहरू, ओहोला र ओहोलिबासित सुते ।

For every one went in unto her, as men go in unto a harlot; so went they in unto Oholah and unto Oholibah, the lewd women.

45 तर धार्मिक मानिसहरूले न्‍याय गर्नेछन् र व्‍यभिचारिणीहरूका रूपमा तिनीहरूलाई दण्‍ड दिनेछन् अनि हत्‍या गर्नेहरूलाई सुनाउने दण्‍डले तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई दण्‍ड दिनेछन्, किनभने तिनीहरू व्‍यभिचारिणीहरू हुन्‌ र तिनीहरूका हातमा हत्‍याको रगत छ ।

But righteous men, they shall judge them as adulteresses are judged, and as women that shed blood are judged; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.

46 यसैले परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः म तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा एउटा भीड खडा गर्नेछु र तिनीहरूलाई त्रास र लूटमा सुम्‍पिदिनेछु ।

For thus saith the Lord GOD: An assembly shall be brought up against them, and they shall be made a horror and a spoil.

47 तब त्यो भीडले तिनीहरूलाई ढुङ्गाले हान्‍नेछन्, र उनीहरूका तरवारले तिनीहरूलाई खत्तम पार्नेछन् । तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीलाई उनीहरूले मार्नेछन्‌ र तिनीहरूका घरहरू जलाउनेछन्‌ ।

And the assembly shall stone them with stones, and despatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.

48 किनकि देशबाट लज्‍जास्‍पद व्‍यवहारलाई म खतम गर्नेछु, र सबै स्‍त्रीलाई अनुशासनमा ल्याउनेछु ताकि तिनीहरू फेरि वेश्याको जस्तो काम नगरून् ।

Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.

49 यसरी उनीहरूले तेरा लाजमर्दा व्यवहारहरू तेरै विरूद्धमा खडा गर्नेछन् । तैंले आफ्‍ना मूर्तिहरूसित गरेका पापको दोष तैंले भोग्‍नेछेस्‌, र यसरी म नै परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर हुँ भनी तैंले जान्‍नेछेस् ।

And your lewdness shall be recompensed upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.'
