1 दशौं वर्षको दशौं महिनामा उक्‍त महिनाको बाह्रौं दिनमा परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
On the twelfth day of the tenth month of the tenth year, a message from 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, face towards Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and 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 ।”
Tell him that this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, you great monster lying in your rivers, who says, ‘The Nile belongs to me; I made it myself.’
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 ।
I'm going to put hooks in your jaws and make the fish in your river stick to your scales. I will pull you up out of your river, and all the fish will stick to your scales.
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 ।
I will throw you and the fish away, leaving you in the desert. Your body will fall on the ground and be left in the open. It won't be collected or taken to be buried. I'll leave you as food for wild animals and birds of prey.
6 तब मिश्रदेशमा बस्‍नेहरू सबैले म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी जान्‍नेछन्‌ । किनकि तिनीहरू इस्राएलका घरानाको निम्‍ति एउटा नर्कटको लट्ठी भएका छन् ।
Then everyone in Egypt will know that I am the Lord. When you had to deal with the people of Israel you were like a flimsy walking stick made from a reed.
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 Israel grabbed hold of you, you split apart, damaging their shoulder. When they leaned on you, you broke, putting their backs out.
8 यसकारण परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः हेर्, तेरो विरुद्धमा म तरवार ल्‍याउनेछु । तेरा मानिसहरू र पशुहरू दुवैलाई म खत्तम गर्नेछु ।
So this is what the Lord God says: I will attack you with a sword and kill both people and animals.
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 ।”
Egypt will become an empty wasteland. Then they will know that I am the Lord. Because you said, ‘The Nile belongs to me; I made it,’
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 ।
that's why I'm condemning you and your river. I will ruin Egypt, making it into an empty wasteland all the way from Migdol in the north to Syene in the south, and up to the border with Cush.
11 कुनै मानिसको खुट्टाले त्‍यहाँ टेक्‍नेछैन, अनि र कुनै पशुको खुट्टाले त्‍यहाँ टेक्‍नेछैन । चालीस वर्षसम्‍म त्‍यहाँ कोही बस्‍नेछैन ।
No one, human or animal, will travel that way or live there 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 ।
I will make Egypt more of a wasteland than any other country, and its towns will lie in ruins for forty years among all the other ruined towns. I will scatter the Egyptians among the different nations and countries.
13 किनकि परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः चालीस वर्षको अन्‍तमा मिश्रीहरूलाई तिनीहरू छरपष्‍ट भएका मानिसहरूका बिचबाट म भेला गर्नेछु ।
However, this is what the Lord God says: After forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the different countries where they were scattered.
14 म मिश्रदेशको सुदिन फर्काउनेछु र तिनीहरूलाई फारोको राज्‍यमा, तिनीहरूका सुरुको देशमा फर्काएर ल्‍याउनेछु । तब तिनीहरू त्‍यहाँ एक तुच्‍छ राज्‍य भएर बस्‍नेछन्‌ ।
I will bring Egypt out of captivity and take them back to the land of Pathros, where they originally came from. Their kingdom will be insignificant.
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 ।
Egypt will be the lowest of kingdoms and won't ever be more important than other nations again. I will bring Egypt down so that it won't ever be able to rule over the nations again.
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' ।”
The people of Israel won't ever trust in Egypt again; instead they will be reminded them of their sin when they turned to the Egyptians for help. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.”
17 तब सत्ताइसौं वर्षको पहिलो महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
On the first day of the first month of the twenty-seventh year, a message from 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, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army work really hard in the siege against Tyre. The soldiers had their hair worn off their heads, and their shoulders rubbed raw. However, he and his army didn't gain any benefit from Tyre for all the work they did in attacking 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 ।
So this is what the Lord God says: I'm going to give Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon who will seize everything valuable. He will loot the country, robbing it to pay his army.
20 त्‍यसले मेरो निम्ति गरेको परिश्रमको ज्‍यालाको रूपमा मिश्रदेश मैले त्‍यसलाई दिएको छु— यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो ।
I'm rewarding him for all his work by giving him Egypt because the work they did was for me, declares 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' ।”
At that time I will give power back to the people of Israel and I will help you speak to them. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
