< इजकिएल 24 >
1 नवौं वर्षको दशौं महिनाको र महिनको दशौं दिनमा परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
On the tenth day of the tenth month of the ninth year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “ए मानिसको छोरो, आफ्नो निम्ति आजको दिन, आजकै मिति लेख्, किनकि आजकै दिन बेबिलोनको राजाले यरूशलेमलाई घेरा हालेको छ ।
“Son of man, write down today's date, because this is the day that the king of Babylon started his siege of Jerusalem.
3 यस विद्रोही घरानाको विरुद्धमा यो उपदेश, यो दृष्टान्त तिनीहरू भन्। तिनीहरूलाई यसो भन्, 'परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः पकाउने भाँडो राख् । त्यसलाई राख्, र त्यसमा पानी हाल् ।
Then repeat the following parable to these rebellious people. Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Get a pot and set it on the fire. Pour in some water.
4 त्यसभित्र भएका खानेकुरा, हरेक असल टुक्रा— तिघ्रा र ह्याकुलो जम्मा गर र त्यसलाई असल हाडहरूले भर् ।
Fill it with some good cuts of meat from the thigh and the shoulder. Put in the best bones.
5 बगालको सबभन्दा असल पशु छान्, त्यसमुनि हाडको थुप्रो लगा । त्यसलाई उमाल्ने ठाउँमा ल्या र त्यसमा हाडहरू पका ।
Choose the best animal from the flock. Pile up the fuel underneath it. Get it boiling and cook the bones in it.
6 यसकारण परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः यो रगतको सहरलाई धिक्कार! त्यो खिया लागेको भाँडालाई र त्यसबाट त्यो खिया जानेछैन! त्यसमा भएका टुक्राबाट नछानिकन एक-एक गर्दै निकाल् ।
So this is what the Lord God says: Disaster is coming to the city of that has shed so much blood! It is symbolized by the rusted pot, whose rust can't be cleaned off. Take out the meat bit by bit as it comes—don't choose which piece.
7 किनकि त्यसको रगत त्यसकै बिचमा छ । त्यसले त्यो रगत चिल्लो चट्टानमा बगाई । धूलाले ढाक्नलाई त्यसले त्यो रगत भूइँमा पोखाईन,
For the blood she shed is still inside the city. She shed it openly on bare rock—she didn't even spill it on the ground and cover it up with dirt.
8 यसैले त्यसले साटो लिने क्रोध ल्याउँछ । त्यसको रगत ढाक्न नसकियोस् भनेर मैले चिल्लो चट्टानमा त्यो पोखाइन ।
In my anger and to punish, I have spilled her blood openly on bare rock, so it wouldn't be covered up.
9 यसैकारण परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः त्यस रगतको सहरलाई धिक्कार । म दाउराको थुप्रोलाई पनि बढाउनेछु ।
So this is what the Lord God says: Disaster is coming to the city of that has shed so much blood. I will also pile up a large heap of firewood.
10 दाउरा थुपार् र आगो सल्का । मासु राम्ररी पका, र मसला हाल र हाडहरू डड्न दे ।
Put on plenty of wood and light the fire. Make sure the meat is well cooked and add spices. Burn the bones.
11 त्यसपछि त्यसलाई तताउन र तामालाई तताएर आगोजस्तै बनाउन भाँडो खाली गरेर भुङ्ग्रोमाथि राख्, ताकि त्यसभित्र भएको अशुद्धता पग्लोस्, र त्यसको थेग्रो डढेर जाओस् ।’
Then put the empty pot back on the burning coals until it's hot and the copper metal glows. This will melt the dirt inside it and get rid of the rust.
12 परिश्रमको कारणलर त्यो थकित भएकी छे, तर त्यसको बाक्लो थेग्रो आगोले पनि गएन ।
So far it's been impossible to clean it —even fire couldn't burn out all its rust.
13 तेरो लाजमर्दो व्यवहार तेरो अशुद्धताभित्र छ । किनभने मैले त तँलाई शुद्ध गर्ने कोशिश गरें, तर तेरो अशुद्धताबाट तँ अझै शुद्ध भइनस् । जबसम्म म आफ्नो क्रोध तेरो विरुद्धमा पोखाएर सन्तुष्ट हुन्नँ, तबसम्म तँ फेरि शुद्ध हुनेछैनस् ।
Because of your immorality you had made yourself unclean and I tried to clean you, but you refused to let me clean away your filth. So now you won't be pure again until I've finished being angry with you.
14 म परमप्रभुले यो घोषणा गरेको हुँ, र म यो गर्नेछु । म पछि हट्नेछैनँ, न त म त्यसबाट आराम नै गर्नेछु । तेरा चाल र तेरा कामहरूले तिनीहरूले तेरो न्याय गर्नेछन्— यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो ।
I, the Lord, have spoken. The time is soon coming when I will do what I say. I won't change my mind or show pity, I won't stop. I will judge you by your attitude and actions, declares the Lord God.”
15 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयोः
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
16 “ए मानिसको छोरो, हेर्, तेरो आँखाका इच्छालाई म विपतिबाट हटाउँदैछु, तर तैंले शोक गर्नुहुँदैन न त रुनु हुन्छ, र तेरा आँखाबाट आँसु झर्नुहुँदैन ।
“Son of man, look, I'm about to take away the one you love the most. She will die. But you must not mourn or weep. Don't cry any tears.
17 तैंले चूपचाप सुस्केरा हाल्नुपर्छ । मृतकको अन्तेष्टि नगर् । आफ्ना फेटा आफ्नो टाउकोमा बाँध र आफ्ना जुत्ता आफ्ना खुट्टामा लगा, तर आफ्नो मुखका रौं नढाक् वा आफ्ना पत्नीको मृत्युमा शोक गर्ने मानिसहरूका रोटी नखा ।”
Mourn in silence. Don't have any rituals for the dead. Dress normally—have your turban on and put your sandals on your feet. Don't veil your face and don't eat the bread used by mourners.”
18 यसैले बिहानै मैले यो कुरा मानिसहरूलाई भनें, र त्यही बेलुकी मेरी पत्नीको मृत्यु भयो । भोलिपल्ट बिहान मलाई जे गर्ने आज्ञा दिइएको थियो, मैले त्यही गरें ।
I talked to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening. The next morning I did as I'd been told.
19 मानिसहरूले मलाई सोधे, “यी कुराहरू अर्थात्, तपाईंले गरेका कुराहरूको अर्थ के हो, हामीलाई भन्नुहुन्न?”
The people asked me, “What are you doing? Aren't you going to explain to us what this means?”
20 यसैले मैले तिनीहरूलाई भनें, “परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
So I told them, “A message from the Lord came to me, saying:
21 ‘इस्राएलको घरानालाई यसो भन्: परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः हेर्, म आफ्नो पवित्रस्थान—तिमीहरूका शक्तिको गर्व, तिमीहरूका आँखाको खुसी, र तिमीहरूका प्राणको इच्छालाई अपवित्र तुल्याउनेछु, र तिमीहरूले छोडिराखेका तिमीहरूका छोराछोरी तरवारले मारिनेछन् ।
Tell the people of Israel that this is what the Lord God says: I am about to make my sanctuary unclean, this place you're so proud of that you think gives you power, the place you love so much, the place that makes you happy. Your sons and daughters that you left behind will be killed by the sword.
22 तब मैले गरेझैं तिमीहरूले पनि गर्नेछौः तिमीहरूले आफ्नो अनुहारका रौं छोप्नेछैनौ, न त शोक गर्ने मानिसहरूका रोटी खानेछौ ।
Then you'll do what I did. You won't veil your face or eat the bread used by mourners.
23 त्यसको साटोमा, तिमीहरूका फेटा तिमीहरूका टाउकामा र तिमीहरूका जुत्ता तिमीहरूका खुट्टामा हुनेछन् । तिमीहरूले शोक गर्नेछैनौ न त रुनेछौ, किनकि तिमीहरू आफ्ना पापहरूको कारणले पग्लेर जानेछौ, र हरेक मानिसले आफ्ना भाइको निम्ति सुस्केरा हाल्नेछ ।
You will keep your turbans on your heads and your sandals on your feet. You won't mourn or weep, but you will die inside because of your sins, and you will groan to one another.
24 यसरी इजकिएलचाहिं तिमीहरूका निम्ति एउटा चिन्ह हुनेछ । उसले जे गरेको छ ती हरेक कुरा तिमीहरूले पनि गर्नेछौ । तब म नै परमप्रभु परमेश्वर हुँ भनी तिमीहरूले जान्नेछौ' ।”
In this way Ezekiel will be a sign for you; you will do everything that he did. When this happens, then you will know that I am the Lord God.
25 “तर ए मानिसको छोरो, तिनीहरूका आनन्द, गर्व, तिनेहरूले हेर्ने र इच्छा गर्ने तिनीहरूका मन्दिरलाई मैले कब्जा गरेको दिनमा— र मैले तिनीहरूका छोराछोरी लिएर जाँदा—
You, son of man, should know that when I destroy their fortress that is their pride and joy, the place they looked to for comfort and happiness —and their sons and daughters too—
26 त्यस दिनमा तँलाई समाचार दिनलाई एक जना शरणार्थी तँकहाँ आउनेछ ।
when that happens someone who managed to get away will come and give you the news.
27 त्यो दिनमा त्यो शरणार्थीसँग तैंले मुख खोल्नेछस् र तँ बोल्नेछस्— तँ फेरि चूपचाप रहनेछैनस् । तँ तिनीहरूका निम्ति एउटा चिन्ह हुनेछस्, ताकि तिनीहरूले म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी जान्नेछन् ।”
On that day you will be able to speak; you won't be mute any longer. This is how you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the Lord.”
