< इजकिएल 29 >
1 दशौं वर्षको दशौं महिनामा उक्त महिनाको बाह्रौं दिनमा परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
In the twelfth year, in the tenth month, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “ए मानिसको छोरो, तेरो मुख मिश्रदेशको राजा फारोतिर फर्का । त्यसको विरुद्धमा र सारा मिश्रदेशको विरुद्धमा अगमवाणी भन् ।
Son of man, set your face against Pharao king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against the whole of Egypt:
3 घोषणा गर र यसो भन्ः 'परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः हेर्, ए मिश्रदेशको राजा फारो, म तेरो विरुद्धमा छु । आफ्नो नदीको बिचमा लडिरहने, ठुलो अजिङ्गर तँ यसो भन्छस्, “मेरो नदी मेरै हो । त्यो मैले आफ्नो निम्ति बनाएको हुँ ।”
and say, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I am against Pharao, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers, that says, The rivers are mine, and I made them.
4 किनभने म तेरो बङ्गारामा बल्छी लगाउनेछु, र तेरै कत्लाहरूमा तेरा नाइलका माछाहरू टाँसिनेछन् । तेरा कत्लाहरूमा टाँसिएका ती माछासमेत, म तँलाई तेरा नदीको बिचबाट तानेर निकाल्नेछु ।
And I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will cause the fish of your river to stick to your sides, and I will bring you up out of the midst of your river:
5 तँ र तेरा नदीका सबै माछालाई म उजाड-स्थान फाल्नेछु । तँ खुला मैदानमा ढल्नेछस् । तँलाई कसैले जम्मा गर्ने वा उठाउने छैन । पृथ्वीका प्राणीहरू र आकाशका चाराहरूका निम्ति आहारा हुन म तँलाई दिनेछु ।
and I will quickly cast down you and all the fish of your river: you shall fall on the face of the plain, and shall by no means be gathered, and shall not be brought together: I have given you for food to the wild beasts of the earth and to the fowls of the sky.
6 तब मिश्रदेशमा बस्नेहरू सबैले म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी जान्नेछन् । किनकि तिनीहरू इस्राएलका घरानाको निम्ति एउटा नर्कटको लट्ठी भएका छन् ।
And all the dwellers in Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because you have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
7 जब तिनीहरूले तँलाई आफ्नो हातमा लिए, तब तैंले तिनीहरूका काँध भाँचिस् र च्यातिस् । अनि तिनीहरूले तँमा आड लिंदा, तँ भाँचिएको थिइस्, र तिनीहरूका खुट्टा लरबराउने बनाइस् ।
When they took hold of you with their hand, you did break: and when every hand was clapped against them, and when they leaned on you, you were utterly broken, and did crush the loins of them all.
8 यसकारण परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः हेर्, तेरो विरुद्धमा म तरवार ल्याउनेछु । तेरा मानिसहरू र पशुहरू दुवैलाई म खत्तम गर्नेछु ।
Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] bring a sword upon you, and will cut off from you man and beast;
9 यसैले मिश्रदेश उजाड र बग्नावशेष हुनेछ । तब तिनीहरूले म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी जान्नेछन्, किनभने समुद्रको पशुले भनेको थियो, “नील नदी मेरै हो, किनकि मैले नै त्यो बनाएको हुँ ।”
and the land of Egypt shall be ruined and desert; and they shall know that I am the Lord; because you say, The rivers are mine, and I made them.
10 यसकारण हेर्, म तेरो विरुद्धमा र तेरो नदीको विरुद्धमा छु, र मिश्रदेशलाई म उजाड र निर्जन बनाउनेछु, अनि मिग्दोलदेखि आश्वानसम्म र कूश देशको सिमानासम्म नै तँ उजाड-स्थान हुनेछस् ।
Therefore, behold, I am against you, and against all your rivers, and I will give up the land of Egypt to desolation, and the sword, and destruction, from Magdol and Syene even to the borders of the Ethiopians.
11 कुनै मानिसको खुट्टाले त्यहाँ टेक्नेछैन, अनि र कुनै पशुको खुट्टाले त्यहाँ टेक्नेछैन । चालीस वर्षसम्म त्यहाँ कोही बस्नेछैन ।
No foot of man shall pass through it, and no foot of beast shall pass through it, and it shall not be inhabited for forty years.
12 किनकि म मिश्रदेशलाई बस्ती नभएका देशहरूका बिचमा उजाड पार्नेछु, र त्यसका सहरहरू भग्नावशेष भएका सहरहरूका बिचमा चालीस वर्षसम्मै उजाड रहनेछन् । अनि म मिश्रीहरूलाई जातिहरूका बिचमा छरपष्ट पार्नेछु र देशहरूमा म तिनीहरूलाई तितरबितर पार्नेछु ।
And I will cause her land to be utterly destroyed in the midst of a land that is desolate, and her cities shall be [desolate] forty years in the midst of cities that are desolate: and I will disperse Egypt amongst the nations, and will utterly scatter them into the countries.
13 किनकि परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः चालीस वर्षको अन्तमा मिश्रीहरूलाई तिनीहरू छरपष्ट भएका मानिसहरूका बिचबाट म भेला गर्नेछु ।
Thus says the Lord; After forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations amongst whom they have been scattered;
14 म मिश्रदेशको सुदिन फर्काउनेछु र तिनीहरूलाई फारोको राज्यमा, तिनीहरूका सुरुको देशमा फर्काएर ल्याउनेछु । तब तिनीहरू त्यहाँ एक तुच्छ राज्य भएर बस्नेछन् ।
and I will turn the captivity of the Egyptians, and will cause them to dwell in the land of Phathore, in the land whence they were taken;
15 त्यो सारा राज्यहरूमा सबैभन्दा तुच्छ हुनेछ, अनि त्यो फेरि जातिहरूका माझमा कहिल्यै उच्च पारिनेछैन । म त्यसलाई घटाउनेछु, जसले गर्दा तिनीहरूले फेरि कहिल्यै जातिहरूमाथि राज्य गर्नेछैनन् ।
and it shall be a base kingdom beyond all [other] kingdoms; it shall not any more be exalted over the nations; and I will make them few in number, that they may not be [great] amongst the nations.
16 इस्राएलका घरानाका निम्ति मिश्रदेश फेरि कहिल्यै दृढताको कारण हुनेछैन । बरु, इस्राएलले मिश्रदेशसित सहायता माग्न जाँदा त्यहाँ तिनीहरूले गरेको अपराधका सम्झना तिनीहरूलाई हुनेछ । तब तिनीहरूले म नै परमप्रभु परमेश्वर हुँ भनी जान्नेछन्' ।”
And they shall no more be to the house of Israel a confidence bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they follow after them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
17 तब सत्ताइसौं वर्षको पहिलो महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
And it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
18 ए मानिसको छोरो, बेबिलोनको राजा नबूकदनेसरले टुरोसको विरुद्धमा कडा परिश्रम गर्नलाई आफ्नो फौजले तयार राख्यो । हरेकको टाउको तालु खुइले नभएसम्म दलियो र हरेक कुमलाई खस्रो पारियो । तापनि टुरोसको विरुद्धमा त्यसले गरेको परिश्रमको सट्टा त्यसले र त्यसको सेनाले केही इनाम पाउन सकेनन् ।
Son of man, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre; every head was bald, and every shoulder peeled; yet there was no reward to him or to his army [serving] against Tyre, nor for the service wherewith they served against it.
19 यसकारण परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, 'हेर्, म मिश्रदेशलाई बेबिलोनको राजा नबूकदनेसरको हातमा दिनेछु, र त्यसले उसका धन-सम्पत्ति, र भेट्टाएका जति सबै थोक लानेछ । त्यो त्यसको फौजको ज्याला हुनेछ ।
Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I [will] give to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon the land of Egypt, and he shall take the plunder thereof, and seize the spoils thereof; and [it] shall be a reward for his army.
20 त्यसले मेरो निम्ति गरेको परिश्रमको ज्यालाको रूपमा मिश्रदेश मैले त्यसलाई दिएको छु— यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो ।
In return for his service wherewith he served against Tyre, I have given him the land of Egypt; thus says the Lord God:
21 त्यस दिन म इस्राएलका घरानाको निम्ति एउटा सीङ उमार्नेछु, र तिनीहरूका बिचमा म तँलाई बोल्ने बनाउनेछु, ताकि तिनीहरूले म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी जान्नेछन्' ।”
In that day shall a horn spring forth for all the house of Israel, and I will give you an open mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
