इजकिएल 28
1 तब परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said]:
2 “ए मानिसको छोरो, टुरोसको शासकलाई यसो भन्, 'परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः तेरो हृदय अहंकारी छ । तैंले भनेको छस्, “म एक देवता हुँ । म समुद्रको बिचमा एक देवताको आसनमा बस्नेछु!” तँ एक जना मानिस मात्र होस्, र देवता होइनस्, तापनि तैंले आफ्नो हृदयलाई एक देवताको हृदय जत्तिकै बनाउँछस् ।
“You human, give to the king of Tyre this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘You have very proudly claimed, “I am a god! I sit on a throne of a god [in a city on an island] in the sea!” You boast that you are a god; but you are only a man, not a god.
3 तँ आफैलाई दानिएलभन्दा पनि बुद्धिमान् होस् र कुनै गुप्त कुराले तँलाई छक्क पार्दैन भनी सम्झन्छस् ।
[You think that] you are wiser than Daniel was, [and you think that] you can understand every secret.
4 तैंले बुद्धि र सिपले आफैंलाई सम्पन्न तुल्याएको छस् र आफ्नो भण्डारहरूमा सुन र चाँदी थुपारेको छस् ।
By being wise and understanding [a lot], you have become [very] rich; you have acquired much gold and silver for your treasuries.
5 ठुलो बुद्धि र आफ्नो व्यापारले तैंले आफ्नो धन-सम्पत्ति बढाएको छस् । यसैले आफ्नो धन-सम्पत्तिको कारणले तेरो हृदय अहंकारी छ ।
[Yes, it is true that] by trading wisely, you have been enabled to become very rich, and because you are rich, you have become very proud.
6 यसकारण परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः तैंले आफ्नो हृदय देवताको हृदयजस्तै बनाएको कारणले,
Therefore, this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “Because you think that you are as wise as a god,
7 विदेशीहरू, अरू जातिका डरलाग्दा मानिसहरूलाई म तेरो विरुद्धमा ल्याउनेछु । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना तरवार तेरो बुद्धिको सौन्दर्यको विरुद्धमा थुत्नेछन्, र तेरो गौरवलाई अपवित्र पार्नेछन् ।
I will [now] bring a foreign [army] to attack your [country], an army that causes other nations to be terrified. They will pull out their swords to strike you, [you who think that] [IRO] you have marvelous/great wisdom, and they will destroy all your beautiful things.
8 तिनीहरूले तँलाई तल खाडलमा पुर्याउनेछन्, र समुद्रको बिचमा मर्नेहरूझैं तेरो मृत्यु हुनेछ ।
They will bring you down to your grave; you will die violently like [MET] those who died in the sea.
9 तँलाई मार्नेहरूका सामु के तँ अझै पनि “म देवता हुँ” भन्नेछस् र? तँ मानिस होस्, र देवता होइन, र तँलाई छेड्नेहरूका हातमा तँ हुनेछस् ।
Then you will certainly not [RHQ] say to those who are killing you, 'I am a god!' [because they will know that] you are not a god; you are only a man.
10 विदेशीहरूका हातबाट तँ खतना नगर्नेहरूझैं मर्नेछस्, किनकि मैले यो घोषणा गरेको छु— यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो' ।”
You will die like other people who are unacceptable to me die, killed by foreigners.” [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
11 परमप्रभुको वचन फेरि मकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो,
Yahweh also gave me this message:
12 “ए मानिसको छोरो, टुरोसका राजाको निम्ति विलाप गर्, र त्यसलाई भन्: 'परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः तँ सिद्धताको नमूना, अनि बुद्धिले पूर्ण र सुन्दरमा सिद्ध थिइस् ।
“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Tyre. Say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: [“You thought that] [IRO] you were completely perfect, extremely wise and handsome.
13 परमेश्वरको बगैंचा अदनमा तँ थिइस् । हरेक बहुमूल्य पत्थरले तँ सिंगारिएको थिइस्: मानिक, पुष्पराज, पन्ना, पीतमणि, आनिक्स, बिल्लौर, नीर, फिरोजा र बेरूजले तँ आभूषित थिइस् । तेरा साज-सज्जा र प्रदर्शन सुनले बनेका थिए । तेरो सृष्टि भएको दिनमा नै ती तयार पारिएका थिए ।
You [had a wonderful life, as though] you were in my [beautiful] garden in Eden. Your [clothes] were decorated with many [HYP] kinds of very valuable stones— ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, turquoise, and beryl [stones]. Those stones were set/placed in gold [mountings]. They were prepared for you on the day that you were born.
14 मानिसहरूका सुरक्षा गर्न मैले तँलाई करूबलाई झैं अभिषेक गरेर मैले तँलाई परमेश्वरको पवित्र डाँडामा राखें । अग्निमय पत्थरहरूका बिचमा तँ थिइस्, जहाँ तँ हिंड्थिस् ।
I appointed [DOU] you to be like [MET] a strong angel to guard the people. [It was as though I put] you on my holy mountain, and you walked among fiery stones.
15 तेरो सृष्ट गरिएको दिनदेखि तँमा अन्याय फेला नपरेसम्म, तेरो चालमा तँ दोषरहित थिइस् ।
You were completely good in all that you did, from the day that you were created/born, until you [started to] do wicked things.
16 तेरा ठुलो व्यापारले तँ उपद्रवले भरिइस्, र तैंले पाप गरिस् । यसैले अशुद्ध भएको व्यक्तिलाई झैं मैले तँलाई परमेश्वरको डाँडाबाट बाहिर फालें, र मैले तँलाई नष्ट गरें, ए अभिभावक करूब, र मैले तँलाई अग्निमय पत्थरहरूका बिचदेखि धपाएँ ।
[Then] you became busy trading things, and you started to act violently, and you sinned. So I caused you to be disgraced; and the angel who was guarding you forced you to leave my holy mountain, forced you to leave your place among those fiery stones.
17 तेरो सुन्दरताले गर्दा तेरो हृदय अहंकारी थियो । तेरो गौरवको कारणले तैंले आफ्नो बुद्धिलाई भ्रष्ट पारिस् । मैले तँलाई जमिनमा फालेको छु । मैले तँलाई राजाहरूका अगि राखेको छु, यसरी तिनीहरूले तँलाई देख्नेछन् ।
You were extremely proud because you were very handsome. Because you loved beautiful things, you did things that wise people do not do. [So] I threw you to the ground, and allowed [other] kings who saw you to laugh at you.
18 तेरा धेरै पाप र बेईमान व्यापारको कारणले तैंले आफ्ना पवित्र ठाउँहरूलाई बिटुलो पारेको छस् । यसैले मैले तँबाटै एउटा आगो निकालेको छु । त्यसले तँलाई भस्म पार्नेछ। तँलाई नियालेर हेर्नेहरू सबैका दृष्टिमा म तँलाई जमिनमा खरानी तुल्याउनेछु ।
By committing many sins and by trading things dishonestly, you caused your places of worship to become unacceptable to me. So I caused a fire [to burn down your city]. [Your city] was burned completely; the people who were watching it saw that only ashes remained on the ground.
19 मानिसहरूका माझमा तँलाई चिन्नेहरू तँलाई देखेर भयभीत हुनेछन् । तिनीहरू डराउनेछन्, र तँ फेरि कहिल्यै रहनेछैनस्' ।”
All the people who knew what your [city was like previously] were appalled. Now [your city] has disappeared, and it will not exist any more.”’”
20 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुको वचन मकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो,
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
21 “ए मानिसको छोरो, सीदोनतिर तेरो मुख फर्का, र त्यसको विरुद्धमा अगमवाणी गर् ।
“You human, turn toward Sidon [city], and declare the terrible things that will happen to it.
22 यसो भन्, 'परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः हेर्, ए सीदोन, म तेरो विरुद्धमा छु । तेरो माझमा मेरो महिमा हुनेछ । मैले तँभित्र न्याय गर्दा, म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी तेरा मानिसहरूले जान्नेछन् । तँभित्र म पवित्र प्रकट हुनेछु ।
Give [the people of Sidon] this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘I am your enemy, [you people of] Sidon, and by what I do to you, I will reveal that I am very great/glorious. When I punish you and reveal that I am holy, everyone who is watching that will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
23 तँभित्र एउटा रूढी पठाउने, र त्यसका गल्लीहरूमा रगत म बगाउनेछु । मारिनेहरू तेरो बिचमा ढल्नेछन् । जब चारैतिरबाट तेरो विरुद्धमा तरवारले आउनेछन्, तब म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी तिनीहरूले जान्नेछन् ।
I will send a plague upon you, and I will send [enemies to come and] kill [MTY] you in your streets. They will attack you from every direction, and your people will be slaughtered inside the walls of your city. Then everyone will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'
24 तब इस्राएलका घरानालाई, त्यसका मानिसहरूलाई घृणा गर्न त्यसका वरिपरि कसैबाट पनि दुःख दिने सिउँडी र तीखा काँढाहरू फेरि कहिल्यै हुनेछैनन् । यसरी तिनीहरूले म नै परमप्रभु परमेश्वर हुँ भनी जान्नेछन् ।
No longer will those who live near you people of Israel [hurt you] like [MET] painful briers and sharp thorns [hurt people]. And then the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
25 परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, ‘जब इस्राएलका घरानालाई तिनीहरू छरपष्ट भएका मानिसहरूका माझबाट म भेला गर्छु, र तब तिनीहरूलाई अलग गर्नेछु, यसरी जातिहरूले देख्न सक्छन् । त्यसपछि मेरो दास याकूबलाई मैले दिने देशमा तिनीहरूले आफ्ना मन्दिरहरू बनाउनेछन् ।
And this is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “Some day the people of Israel will live in their own land [again], the land that I gave to Jacob, who [also] served me. I will gather them from [distant] countries where I have scattered them. And I will reveal to the nations that I am holy among my people.
26 त्यसपछि तिनीहरू त्यसभित्र सुरक्षित रहनेछन्, र मन्दिरहरू बनाउनेछन्, दाखबारी लगाउनेछन् । अनि तिनीहरूलाई घृणा गर्ने वरिपरिका सबैलाई मेले न्याय गर्दा, तिनीहरू त्यहाँ सुरक्षित रहनेछन् । तब तिनीहरूले म नै परमप्रभु तिनीहरूका परमेश्वर हुँ भनी जान्नेछन्' ।”
My people will live safely in Israel; they will build houses and plant vineyards. And when I punish the nearby nations that despised them, they will know that it is I, Yahweh their God, [who has done it].”
