इजकिएल 33

1 तब परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,

And the word of the Lord 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 sons of your people, and you shall say to them: Concerning the land, when I will have led the sword over it: if the people of the land take a man, one of their least, and appoint him over themselves as a watchman,

3 त्यसले देशमा तरवार आउँदा त्‍यसलाई हेर्छ, र मानिसहरूलाई सजग गराउन आफ्नो तुरही फुक्छ!

and if he sees the sword approaching over the land, and he sounds the trumpet, and he announces to 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, having heard the sound of the trumpet, whoever he is, if he also does not take care of himself, and the sword arrives and takes him: his blood will be upon 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 he did not take care of himself, so his blood will be upon him. But if he guards himself, he will save his own life.

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 ।’

And if the watchman sees the sword approaching, and he does not sound the trumpet, and so the people do not guard themselves, and the sword arrives and takes some of their lives, certainly these have been taken due to their own iniquity. But I will attribute their blood to the hand of the watchman.

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 ।

And as for you, son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore, having heard the word from my mouth, you shall announce it to them 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 say to the impious, ‘O impious man, you will die a death,’ if you have not spoken so that the impious man will keep himself from his way, then that impious man will die in his iniquity. But I will attribute his blood to 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 ।

But if you have announced to the impious man, so that he may be converted from his ways, and he has not converted from his way, then he will die in his iniquity. Yet you will have freed your own 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, therefore, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: You have spoken in this way, saying: ‘Our iniquities and our sins are upon us, and we waste away in them. So then, how would we be able to 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?’

Say to them: As I live, says the Lord God, I do not desire the death of the impious, but that the impious should convert from his way and live. Be converted, be converted from your evil ways! For why should you die, O 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 ।

And as for you then, son of man, say to the sons of your people: The justice of the just man will not deliver him, on whatever day he will have sinned. And the impiety of the impious man will not harm him, on whatever day he will have been converted from his impiety. And the just man will not be able to live by his justice, on whatever day he will have sinned.

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 ।

Even now, if I say to the just man that he shall certainly live, and so, with confidence in his justice, he commits iniquity, all his justices will be delivered into oblivion, and by his iniquity, which he has done, by this he shall die.

14 यसैले मैले दुष्‍टलाई यसो भनें, “तँ निश्‍चय नै मर्नेछस्”, तर त्‍तसपछि त्यसले आफ्नो पापको पश्‍चात्ताप गर्छ र न्यायपूर्ण र ठिक काम गर्छ भने,

And if I say to the impious man, ‘You shall certainly die,’ and yet he repents from his sin, and he does judgment and justice,

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 ।

and if that impious man returns the collateral, and repays what he has taken by force, and if he walks in the commandments of life, and does not do anything unjust, then he shall certainly live, and he shall 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, which he has committed, will be imputed to him. He has done judgment and justice, so he shall certainly live.

17 तर तेरा मानिसहरू भन्छन्, “परमप्रभुको चाल न्यायपूर्ण छैन!” तर तिमीहरूका चाल पो न्यायपूर्ण छैनन्!

And the sons of your people have said, ‘The way of the Lord is not a fair balance,’ even while their own way is unjust.

18 जब कुनै धर्मी मानिस आफ्नो धार्मिकताबाट तर्केर पाप गर्छ, तब त्यो त्यही पापमा मर्नेछ!

For when the just man will have withdrawn from his justice, and committed iniquities, he shall die by these.

19 जब कुनै दुष्‍ट मानिस आफ्नो दुष्‍टताबाट फर्केर न्यायपूर्ण र धर्मी काम गर्छ भने, यी कुराहरूका कारणले त्यो जिउनेछ!

And when the impious man will have withdrawn from his impiety, and have done judgment and justice, he shall live by these.

20 तर तिमीहरू भन्छौ, “परमप्रभुको चाल न्यायपूर्ण छैन!” ए इस्राएलको घराना, म तिमीहरूको चालअनुसार नै हरेकको न्याय गर्नेछु!’”

And yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not right.’ But I shall judge each one of you according to his own ways, O house of Israel.”

21 हाम्रो निर्वासनको बाह्रौं वर्षको दशौं महिनाको पाँचौं दिनमा, यरूशलेमबाट एक जना भगुवा मकहाँ आयो र भन्यो, “त्यो सहरलाई कब्जा गरिएको छ!”

And it happened that, in the twelfth year of our transmigration, in the tenth month, on the fifth of the month, one who had fled from Jerusalem arrived saying, “The city has been laid waste.”

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!

But the hand of the Lord had been upon me in the evening, before the one who had fled arrived. And he opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning. And since my mouth had been opened, I was no longer silent.

23 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,

And the word of the Lord 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, as for those who live in these ruinous ways on the soil of Israel, when speaking, they say: ‘Abraham was one man, and he possessed the land as an inheritance. But we are many; the land has been given to us as a possession.’

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, you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: You who eat even the blood, and who lift up your eyes to your uncleannesses, and who shed blood: will you possess the land as an inheritance?

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 stood by your swords, you committed abominations, and each one has defiled his neighbor’s wife. And will you possess the land as an inheritance?

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 say these things to them: So says the Lord God: As I live, those who live in ruinous ways will fall by the sword. And whoever is in the field will be delivered over to wild beasts to be devoured. But those who are in fortresses and in 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 ।’

And I will make the land into a wilderness and a desert. And its arrogant strength will fail. And the mountains of Israel will be desolate; for there will be no one who crosses through them.

29 यसैले तिनीहरूले गरेका सबै घृणित कामका कारणले मैले देशलाई उजाड र बेकामको तुल्याएपछि तिनीहरूले म परमप्रभु हुँ भन्‍ने जान्‍नेछन् ।

And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have made their land desolate and deserted, because of all their abominations, which they have worked.

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!’

And as for you, O son of man: the sons of your people speak about you beside the walls and in the doorways of houses. And they speak to one another, each man to his neighbor, saying: ‘Come, and let us hear what may be the word going forth 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 ।

And they come to you, as if the people were entering, and my people sit before you. And they listen to your words, but they do not do them. For they turn them into a song for their mouth, but their heart pursues their own avarice.

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 ।

And you are to them like a verse set to music, which is sung with a sweet and pleasing voice. And 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 ।”

And when what has been predicted occurs, for behold it is approaching, then they shall know that a prophet was among them.”
