इजकिएल 34

1 तब परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भेनर मकहाँ आयो,

And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

2 “ए मानिसको छोरा, इस्राएलका गोठालाहरूका विरुद्धमा अगमवाणी गर् । अगमवाणी गर् र तिनीहरूलाई यसो भन्, ‘परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर गोठालाहरूलाई यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: इस्राएलका गोठालाहरूलाई धिक्‍कार जसले आफ्नै गोठालो गर्छन् । के गोठालाहरूले त बगालको सुरक्षा गर्नुपर्दैन र?

Son of man, prophesy concerning the shepherds of Israel; prophesy, and say unto them, unto the shepherds, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Woe to the shepherds of Israel who do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?

3 तिमीहरू बोसे भागहरू खान्छौ र तिमीहरू ऊनको वस्‍त्र लगाउँछौ । तिमीहरू बगालको मोटा-मोटा पशुलाई मार्छौ । तिमीहरूले गोठालाको काम गर्दै गर्दैनौ ।

The fat ye eat, and with the wool ye clothe yourselves, those that are well fed ye slaughter; but the flock ye feed not.

4 रोगीहरूलाई तिमीहरूले बलियो पारेका छैनौ, न त बिरामीहरूलाई तिमीहरूले निको पारेका छौ । भाँचिएकाहरूलाई तिमीहरूले पट्टी बाँधेका छैनौ, र निर्वासितहरूलाई पुनर्स्थापित गरेका छैनौ वा हराएकालाई खोजेका छैनौ । त्‍यसको साटोमा, तिमीहरू तिनीहरूमाथि बल र हिंसामा शासन गर्छौ ।

The diseased have ye not strengthened, and the sick have ye not healed, and that which had a limb broken have ye not bound up, and the strayed have ye not brought back again, and what was lost have ye not sought for; but with force have ye ruled them and with rigor.

5 तब तिनीहरू गोठालाबिना छरपष्‍ट भएका थिए, र तिनीहरू मैदानका जीवित पशुहरूका निम्ति आहारा बने ।

And they were scattered for want of a shepherd; and they became food unto all the beasts of the field, and they were scattered.

6 मेरो बगाल सारा पर्वतहरू र सबै अग्ला पहाडहरूमा भट्किन्छन्, र तिनीहरू पृथ्वी सारा सतहभरि नै छरिएका छन् । तापनि कसैले तिनीहरूको खोजी गर्दैन ।

My sheep have to wander about on all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, over all the face of the land are my flock scattered, and there is none that inquireth and none that seeketh [after them].

7 यसकारण, ए गोठालाहरू हो, परमप्रभुको वचन सुनः

Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord,

8 यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो, जस्‍तो म जीवित छु, किनभने मेरो बागल लुटिएका र मैदानका सबै पशुका आहारा बनेका छन्, किनभने त्यहाँ कोही गोठाला थिएनन् र मेरा गोठालामध्‍ये कसैले पनि मेरो बगालको खोजी गरेनन्, तर ती गोठालाहरूले आफ्नै सुरक्षा गरे र मेरो बगालको सुरक्षा गरेनन् ।

As I live, saith the Lord Eternal, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became food unto every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, and my shepherds did not inquire for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and my flock they fed not:

9 यसकारण, ए गोठालाहरू हो, परमप्रभुको वचन सुनः

Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord,

10 परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: हेर, म गोठालाहरूका विरुद्धमा छु, र म तिनीहरूका हातबाट आफ्नो बगाललाई लिनेछु । त्यसपछि तिनीहरूलाई बगालको सुरक्षा गर्ने कामबाट म हटाउनेछु । ती गोठालाहरूले अब उसो आफ्नै घोठालो पनि गर्नेछैनन् किनभने मैले मेरो बगाललाई म तिनीहरूका मुखबाट खोस्‍नेछु, ताकि मेरो बगाल तिनीहरूका निम्ति फेरि कहिल्यै आहारा हुनेछैनन् ।

Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will be against the shepherds, and I will require my flock from their hand, and I will stop them from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more: and I will deliver my flock out of their mouth, that they may not serve them for food.

11 किनकि परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: हेर, मेरो बगालको खोजी म आफैं गर्नेछु र तिनीहरूको रेखदेख गर्नेछु,

For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I am here, and I will both inquire for my flocks, and search for them.

12 जसरी गोठाला आफ्नो छरपष्‍ट भएको बगालको बिचमा भएको दिनमा उसले आफ्‍नो बगलाको खोजी गर्छ । त्‍यसरी नै म आफ्‍नो बगालको खोजी गर्नेछु, अनि बादल र अन्धकारको दिनमा तिनीहरू छरपष्‍ट भएका सबै ठाउँबाट म तिनीहरूलाई बचाउनेछु ।

As a shepherd searcheth for his flock on the day that he is among his flocks that are scattered: so will I search for my flocks; and I will deliver them out of all places whither they have been scattered on the day of clouds and [tempestuous] darkness.

13 तब तिनीहरूलाई मानिसहरूका बिचबाट म बाहिर ल्याउनेछु । तिनीहरूलाई देशहरूबाट भेला गराउनेछु र तिनीहरूलाई आफ्‍नै देशमा ल्‍याउनेछु । तिनीहरूलाई इस्राएलको पर्वतहरूमा भएका खर्कहरूमा, खोलाहरूका छेउमा, र देशका हरेक वस्तीहरूमा म राख्‍नेछु ।

And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them to their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, in the ravines, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

14 तिनीहरूलाई असल खर्कमा म राख्‍नेछु । इस्राएलका अग्ला पर्वतहरू तिनीहरू चर्ने ठाउँहरू हुनेछन् । तिनीहरू असल ठाउँहरूमा र प्रशस्त खर्कहरूमा चर्नको निम्ति बस्‍नेछन्, र तिनीहरू इस्राएलका पहाडहरूमा चर्नेछन् ।

On a good pasture will I feed them, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall be their fold: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed on the mountains of Israel.

15 मेरो बगालको गोठालो म आफैंले गर्नेछु र तिनीहरूलाई म आफैंले बसाल्‍नेछु, यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो,

I myself will feed my flock, and I myself will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord Eternal.

16 म हराएकाहरूलाई खोज्नेछु र निर्वासितहरूलाई पुनर्स्थापित गर्नेछु । भाँचिएका भेडालाई पट्टी बाँध्‍नेछु र बिरामी भेडालाई निको पार्नेछु तर मोटा र बलियालाई म नष्‍ट गर्नेछु । म न्यायको साथमा गोठालोको काम गर्नेछु ।

That which was lost will I seek for, and that which was gone astray will I bring back again, and that which had a limb broken will I bind up, and the sick will I strengthen: but the fat and the strong will I destroy; I will feed them in justice.

17 यसैले, परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, अब ए मेरा बगाल, हेर, भेडा-भेडाको बिचमा, र भेडा र बोकाको बिचमा म एक जना न्यायकर्ता हुनेछु ।

And as for you, O my flock, thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will judge between lamb and lamb, between the wethers and the he-goats.

18 के असल खर्कमा चर्नु पर्याप्‍त छैन र तिमीहरू खर्कमा बाँकी रहेको कुरालाई कुल्चन्छौ, अनि स्वच्छ पानीबाट पिउनु पर्याप्‍त छैन र नदीहरूलाई आफ्ना खुट्टाहरूले तिमीहरू धमिलो बनाउँछौ?

Is it too little for you that ye can feed on the good pasture, that ye must tread down the residue of your pastures with your feet? and that ye can drink clear waters, that ye must render muddy with your feet what is left?

19 के तिमीहरूले आफ्ना खुट्टाहरूले कुल्चेको कुराबाट मेरा भेडाहरूले खानु, र तिमीहरूका खुट्टाहरूले धमिलो पारेको पानी पिउनुपर्छ?

And as for my flock, what ye have trodden with your feet must they eat; and what ye have made muddy with your feet must they drink.

20 यसकारण, परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर तिनीहरूलाई यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: हेर, मोटा र दुब्‍ला भेडाहरूका बिचमा म आफैंले न्याय गर्नेछु,

Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal unto them, Behold, I am here, and I will judge between the fat lamb and the lean lamb.

21 किनकि तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्ना कुइना र कुमले धकेल्छौ, अनि सबै कमजोरहरू देशबाट छरपष्‍ट नभएसम्म तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्ना सिङ्ले हान्‍छौ ।

Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push with your horns all the diseased, till ye have scattered them abroad:

22 म आफ्‍नो बगाललाई बचाउनेछु, र तिनीहरू फेरि लुटिनेछैनन् अनि एउटा भेडा र अर्कोको बिचमा म न्याय गर्नेछु!

Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between lamb and lamb.

23 मेरो दास दाऊदलाई तिनीहरूमाथि म एक जना गोठालो नियुक्त गर्नेछु । त्यसले तिनीहरूको गोठालो गर्नेछ, त्‍यसले तिनीहरूलाई खुवाउनेछ, र त्यो नै तिनीहरूका गोठालो हुनेछ ।

And I will appoint over them one shepherd, and he shall feed them, namely, my servant David: he it is that shall feed them, and he it is that shall be unto them for a shepherd.

24 किनकि म परमप्रभु नै तिनीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुनेछु, र मेरो दास दाऊद तिनीहरूका बिचमा एउटा शासक हुनेछ । म, परमप्रभुले यो घोषणा गरेको छु ।

And I the Lord—I will be unto them for a God, and my servant David shall be a prince in their midst: I the Lord have spoken it.

25 त्‍यसपछि म तिनीहरूसँग शान्तिको करार गर्नेछु र देशबाट दुष्‍ट जङ्गली पशुहरूलाई हटाउनेछु, ताकि तिनीहरू उजाड-स्‍थान सुरक्षित बस्‍नेछन् र जङ्गलहरूमा सुरक्षित सुत्‍नेछन् ।

And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and I will cause the wild beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell in the wilderness in safety, and sleep in the forests.

26 तिनीहरूमाथि र मेरो पहाडको वरिपरिका ठाउँहरूमा म आफ्‍नो आशिष् ल्याउनेछु, किनकि म ठिक ऋतुमा झरी पठाउनेछु । यी आशिष्‌का झरी हुनेछन् ।

And I will make them and the environs of my hill a blessing; and I will cause the rain to come down in its season; rains of blessing shall they be.

27 तब मैदानका रूखहरूले आफ्ना फल उब्‍जाउनेछन् र पृथ्वीले आफ्नो उब्जनी दिनेछ । मेरा भेडाहरू आफ्नै देशमा सुरक्षित हुनेछन् । जब तिनीहरूका जुवाको काठ म भाँचिदिन्‍छु र जब तिनीहरूलाई दास बनाउनेको हातबाट तिनीहरूलाई म बचाउँछु, तब म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी तिनीहरूले जान्‍नेछन् ।

And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield her products, and they shall be on their land in safety: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I break the bands of their yoke, and deliver them out of the hand of those that had made them labor for them.

28 तिनीहरू फेरि जातिहरूका निम्‍ति लुट हुनेछैनन्, र पृथ्वीका जङ्गली पशुहरूले तिनीहरूलाई खानेछैनन् । किनकि तिनीहरू सुरक्षित बस्‍नेछन्, र तिनीहरूलाई कसैले पनि त्रासमा पार्नेछैन ।

And they shall be no more a prey to the nations, and the beasts of the land shall not devour them; but they shall dwell in safety, with none to make them afraid.

29 किनकि प्रशस्त अन्‍न उब्जनी हुने देश म तिनीहरूलाई दिनेछु । यसरी तिनीहरू फेरि देशमा अनिकालको शिकार हुनेछैनन्, र तिनीहरूले जातिहरूको गिल्ला सहनुपर्नेछैन ।

And I will raise up for them a plantation for a [perpetual] renown, and they shall be no more taken away by hunger in the land, neither bear the shameful reproach of the nations any more.

30 तब तिनीहरूले म परमप्रभु तिनीहरूका परमेश्‍वर तिनीहरूसँग छु भनी जान्‍नेछन् । इस्राएलको घराना मेरा मानिसहरू हुन्, यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो ।

Thus shall they experience that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord Eternal.

31 किनकि तिमीहरू मेरा भेडा हौ, मेरो खर्कका बगाल, र मेरा मानिस हौ, र म तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुँ, यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो ।’”

And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, [and] I am your God, saith the Lord Eternal.
