इजकिएल 33
1 तब परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 “ए मानिसको छोरा, तेरा मानिसहरूलाई यो घोषणा गर् । तिनीहरूलाई यसो भन्, ‘जब म आफ्नो तरवारलाई कुनै देशको विरुद्धमा उठाउँछु, तब त्यस देशका मानिसहरूले आफूमध्ये एक जनालाई लिन्छन् र उसलाई आफ्ना रक्षक बनाउँछन् ।
“Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and tell them, ‘When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman,
3 त्यसले देशमा तरवार आउँदा त्यसलाई हेर्छ, र मानिसहरूलाई सजग गराउन आफ्नो तुरही फुक्छ!
if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blows the trumpet and warns the people,
4 मानिसहरूले तुरहीको आवाज सुने तर पनि ध्यान दिंदैनन्, र तरवार आउँछ र तिनीहरूलाई मार्छ भने, ती प्रत्येकको रगत आफ्नै शिरमा पर्नेछ ।
then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not heed the warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.
5 कसैले तुरहीको आवाज सुन्छ र ध्यान दिंदैन भने, त्यसको रगतको जिम्मेवार त्यो आफै हुनेछ । तर त्यसले ध्यान दिन्छ भने त्यसले आफ्नो ज्यान बचाउनेछ ।
He heard the sound of the trumpet and did not take warning. His blood will be on him; whereas if he had heeded the warning, he would have delivered his soul.
6 तर त्यो रक्षकले तरवार आउँदै गरेको देख्छ, तर त्यसले तुरही फुक्दैन, जसको कारणले मानिसहरूलाई सजग पारिंदैन, र तरवार आउँछ र कसैको जीवन लिन्छ भने, त्यो मानिस आफ्नै पापमा मर्छ, तर त्यसको रगतको सटो म त्यो रक्षकबाट लिनेछु ।’
But if the watchman sees the sword come and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’
7 अब, ए मानिसको छोरा, मैले तँलाई नै इस्राएलको घरानाको निम्ति रक्षक बनाएको छु । तैंले मेरो मुखबाट वचन सुन्नेछस् र तिनीहरूलाई मेरो तर्फबाट चेतावनी दिनेछस् ।
“So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warnings from me.
8 मैले दुष्ट मानिसलाई भनें ‘ए दुष्ट मानिस, तँ निश्चय नै मर्नेछस् ।’ तर त्यो दुष्ट मानिसलाई सजग गराउनलाई त्यसको चालको बारेमा तैंले त्यसलाई भनिनस् भने, त्यो दुष्ट मानिस आफ्नो पापमा मर्नेछ, तर त्यसको रगतको साटो म तँबाट लिनेछु ।
When I tell the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at your hand.
9 तर तैंले त्यो दुष्ट मानिस उसको दुष्ट चालको बारेमा बनिस् ताकि त्यसबाट त्यो फर्किन सकोस्, र त्यो आफ्नो चालबाट फर्केन भने, त्यो आफ्नो पापमा मर्नेछ, तर तँ आफूले आफ्नो प्राण बचाउनेछस् ।
Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he does not turn from his way; he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.
10 यसैले, ए मानिसको छोरो, इस्राएलको घरानालाई भन्, ‘तिमीहरू यसो भन्छौ, “हाम्रा अपराधहरू र पापहरू हामीमाथि आएका छन्, र हामी तीनमा सडिरहेका छौं! हामी कसरी बाँच्न सक्छौं?”’
“You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: ‘You say this, “Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them. How then can we live?”’
11 तिनीहरूलाई भन्, ‘यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो, म जिउँदो भएको हुनाले, म दुष्टहरूको मृत्युमा प्रसन्न हुन्नँ, किनकि दुष्टले आफ्नो चालबाट पश्चात्ताप गरी फर्कन्छ भने त्यो बाँच्ने छ! पश्चात्ताप गर् । तेरा दुष्ट चालबाट पश्चात्ताप गर् । ए इस्राएलको घराना तँ किन मर्ने?’
Tell them, ‘“As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, house of Israel?”’
12 यसैले, ए मानिसको छोरा, तेरा मानिसहरूलाई भन्, ‘धर्मी मानिसले पाप गर्छ भने त्यसको धार्मिकताले त्यसलाई बचाउनेछैन! दुष्ट मानिसले आफ्नो पापबाट पश्चात्ताप गर्छ भने त्यसको दुष्टताले त्यो नष्ट हुनेछैन! किन धर्मी मानिसले पाप गर्छ भने त्यो आफ्नो धार्मिकताको कारणले बच्नेछैन ।
“You, son of man, tell the children of your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him in the day of his disobedience. And as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither will he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins.
13 मैले धर्मीलाई यसो भनें, “त्यो निश्चय नै बाँच्नेछस्!” र त्यसले आफ्नो धार्मिकतामा विश्वास गरेर अन्याय गर्छ भने, त्यसको कुनै पनि धार्मिकतालाई म सम्झना गर्नेछैनँ । त्यसले गरेको दुष्टताको कारणले त्यो मर्नेछ ।
When I tell the righteous that he will surely live, if he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but he will die in his iniquity that he has committed.
14 यसैले मैले दुष्टलाई यसो भनें, “तँ निश्चय नै मर्नेछस्”, तर त्तसपछि त्यसले आफ्नो पापको पश्चात्ताप गर्छ र न्यायपूर्ण र ठिक काम गर्छ भने,
Again, when I say to the wicked, “You will surely die,” if he turns from his sin and does that which is lawful and right,
15 र त्यसले ऋणको निम्ति आफूले दुष्टतापूर्वक राखेको धितो फिर्ता गर्छ, वा त्यसले चोरेको कुरालाई फिर्ता गर्छ, र जीवन दिने विधिहरू पालना गर्छ र फेरि पाप गर्दैन भने, तब त्यो निश्चय नै जिउनेछ । त्यो मर्नेछैन ।
if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity, he will surely live. He will not die.
16 त्यसले गरेका कुनै पनि पापको सम्झना हुनेछैन । त्यसले न्यायपूर्ण र धार्मिक रूपमा काम गरेको छ र यसैले त्यो निश्चय नै जिउनेछ ।
None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful and right. He will surely live.
17 तर तेरा मानिसहरू भन्छन्, “परमप्रभुको चाल न्यायपूर्ण छैन!” तर तिमीहरूका चाल पो न्यायपूर्ण छैनन्!
“‘Yet the children of your people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair;” but as for them, their way is not fair.
18 जब कुनै धर्मी मानिस आफ्नो धार्मिकताबाट तर्केर पाप गर्छ, तब त्यो त्यही पापमा मर्नेछ!
When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will even die therein.
19 जब कुनै दुष्ट मानिस आफ्नो दुष्टताबाट फर्केर न्यायपूर्ण र धर्मी काम गर्छ भने, यी कुराहरूका कारणले त्यो जिउनेछ!
When the wicked turns from his wickedness and does that which is lawful and right, he will live by it.
20 तर तिमीहरू भन्छौ, “परमप्रभुको चाल न्यायपूर्ण छैन!” ए इस्राएलको घराना, म तिमीहरूको चालअनुसार नै हरेकको न्याय गर्नेछु!’”
Yet you say, “The way of the Lord is not fair.” House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after his ways.’”
21 हाम्रो निर्वासनको बाह्रौं वर्षको दशौं महिनाको पाँचौं दिनमा, यरूशलेमबाट एक जना भगुवा मकहाँ आयो र भन्यो, “त्यो सहरलाई कब्जा गरिएको छ!”
In the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, “The city has been defeated!”
22 त्यो भगुवा आउनभन्दा अगिल्लो साँझमा परमप्रभुको हात ममाथि थियो, र बिहानीको झिसमिसेमा त्यो मकहाँ आउँदासम्म मेरो मुख खोलिएको थियो । यसैले मेरो मुख खोलियो । म फेरि चुप भइनँ!
Now the LORD’s hand had been on me in the evening, before he who had escaped came; and he had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.
23 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
24 “ए मानिसको छोरो, इस्राएलको भूमिमा भग्नावशेषमा बसोबास गर्नेहरू यसो भन्दैछन्, ‘अब्राहम मात्र एक जना मानिस थिए, र उनले यो देश अधिकार गरे, तर हामीहरू धेरै जना छौं! यो देश हामीलाई सम्पत्तिको रूपमा दिइएको छ ।’
“Son of man, those who inhabit the waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, ‘Abraham was one, and he inherited the land; but we are many. The land is given us for inheritance.’
25 यसकारण तिनीहरूलाई भन्, ‘परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ: तिमीहरू रगत खान्छौ, र तिमीहरू आफ्ना मुर्तिहरूतिर आफ्ना आँखा उठाउँछौ, अनि तिमीहरू मानिसहरूका रगत बगाउँछौ । के तिमीहरूले यस देशमाथि अधिकार गर्ने?
Therefore tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. So should you possess the land?
26 तिमीहरू आफ्ना तरवारहरूमा भर परेका छौ र घिनलाग्दा कुरा गरेका छौ । हरेक मानिसले आफ्नो छिमेकीकी पत्नीलाई अशुद्ध पार्छ । के साँच्चै तिमीहरूले यस देशमाथि अधिकार गर्ने?’
You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. So should you possess the land?”’
27 तैंले तिनीहरूलाई यस्तो भन्नू, ‘परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यस्तो भन्नुहुन्छ: जस्तो म जीवित छु, भग्नावशेषमा जिउनेहरू तरवारद्वारा मारिनेछन्, र मैदानमा भएकाहरूलाई म जीवित पशुहरूकहाँ आहराको रूपमा दिनेछु, र किल्लाहरू र गुफाहरूमा भएकाहरू महामारीले मर्नेछन् ।
“You shall tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “As I live, surely those who are in the waste places will fall by the sword. I will give whoever is in the open field to the animals to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves will die of the pestilence.
28 तब देशलाई म उजाड र त्रास तुल्याउनेछु, र त्यसको शक्तिको घमण्डको अन्त्य हुनेछ, किनकि इस्राएलका पर्वतहरू त्यागिनेछन्, र त्यहाँबाट भएर कोही पनि जानेछैन ।’
I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment. The pride of her power will cease. The mountains of Israel will be desolate, so that no one will pass through.
29 यसैले तिनीहरूले गरेका सबै घृणित कामका कारणले मैले देशलाई उजाड र बेकामको तुल्याएपछि तिनीहरूले म परमप्रभु हुँ भन्ने जान्नेछन् ।
Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment because of all their abominations which they have committed.”’
30 यसैले, ए मानिसको छोरा, मन्दिरहरूका पर्खालहरू र ढोकाहरूका छेउमा तेरा मानिसहरू तेरो बारेमा कुरा गरिरहेका छन्, र हेरकले अर्को मानिस, र हरेक मानिसले आफ्नो भाइलाई यस्तो भन्छ, ‘जाऔं र परमप्रभुको मुखबाट निस्कने अगमवक्ताको वचन सुनौं!’
“As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk about you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak to one another, everyone to his brother, saying, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes out from the LORD.’
31 यसैले मानिसहरूले सधैं गरेझैं धेरै जना तँकहाँ आउनेछन्, र तेरो अगि बस्नेछन् र तेरा वचनहरू सुन्नेछन्, तर तिनीहरूले ती पालना गर्नेछैनन् । तिनीहरूका मुखमा ठिक शब्दहरू छन्, तर तिनीहरूका हृदयहरू अन्यायपूर्ण फाइदाको पछि छन् ।
They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
32 किनकि तिनीहरूका निम्ति तँ मनपर्ने गीत, र बाजामा बजाइएको एउटा सुन्दर धुनझैं छस्, यसैले तिनीहरूका तेरा वचन सुन्नेछन्, तर तिनीहरू कसैले पनि ती पालना गर्नेछैनन् ।
Behold, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them.
33 यसैकारण यी सबै कुरा हुँदा – हेर, त्यो हुन आउनेछ – तब तिनीहरूका बिचमा एउटा अगमवक्ता रहेछन् भनी तिनीहरूले जान्नेछन् ।”
“When this comes to pass—behold, it comes—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
