< इजकिएल 29 >
1 दशौं वर्षको दशौं महिनामा उक्त महिनाको बाह्रौं दिनमा परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the LORD’s word 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 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all 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 ।”
Speak and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster that lies in the middle of his rivers, that has said, ‘My river is my own, and I have made it for 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 will put hooks in your jaws, and I will make the fish of your rivers stick to your scales. I will bring you up out of the middle of your rivers, with all the fish of your rivers which 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’ll cast you out into the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers. You’ll fall on the open field. You won’t be brought together or gathered. I have given you for food to the animals of the earth and to the birds of the sky.
6 तब मिश्रदेशमा बस्नेहरू सबैले म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी जान्नेछन् । किनकि तिनीहरू इस्राएलका घरानाको निम्ति एउटा नर्कटको लट्ठी भएका छन् ।
“‘“All the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am the LORD, because they 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 by your hand, you broke and tore all their shoulders. When they leaned on you, you broke and paralyzed all of their thighs.”
8 यसकारण परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः हेर्, तेरो विरुद्धमा म तरवार ल्याउनेछु । तेरा मानिसहरू र पशुहरू दुवैलाई म खत्तम गर्नेछु ।
“‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Behold, I will bring a sword on you, and will cut off man and animal from you.
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 ।”
The land of Egypt will be a desolation and a waste. Then they will know that I am the LORD. “‘“Because he has said, ‘The river is mine, and I have 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 ।
therefore, behold, I am against you and against your rivers. I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from the tower of Seveneh even to the border of Ethiopia.
11 कुनै मानिसको खुट्टाले त्यहाँ टेक्नेछैन, अनि र कुनै पशुको खुट्टाले त्यहाँ टेक्नेछैन । चालीस वर्षसम्म त्यहाँ कोही बस्नेछैन ।
No foot of man will pass through it, nor will any animal foot pass through it. It won’t 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 ।
I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the middle of the countries that are desolate. Her cities among the cities that are laid waste will be a desolation forty years. I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.”
13 किनकि परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः चालीस वर्षको अन्तमा मिश्रीहरूलाई तिनीहरू छरपष्ट भएका मानिसहरूका बिचबाट म भेला गर्नेछु ।
“‘For the Lord GOD says: “At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples 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 reverse the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their birth. There they will be a lowly kingdom.
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 ।
It will be the lowest of the kingdoms. It won’t lift itself up above the nations any more. I will diminish them so that they will no longer rule over 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' ।”
It will no longer be the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing iniquity to memory, when they turn to look after them. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.”’”
17 तब सत्ताइसौं वर्षको पहिलो महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
It came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the LORD’s word 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 caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre. Every head was made bald, and every shoulder was worn; yet he had no wages, nor did his army, from Tyre, for the service that he had 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 ।
Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. He will carry off her multitude, take her plunder, and take her prey. That will be the wages for his army.
20 त्यसले मेरो निम्ति गरेको परिश्रमको ज्यालाको रूपमा मिश्रदेश मैले त्यसलाई दिएको छु— यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो ।
I have given him the land of Egypt as his payment for which he served, because they worked for me,’ 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 I will cause a horn to sprout for the house of Israel, and I will open your mouth among them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
