इजकिएल 34

1 तब परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भेनर मकहाँ आयो,

The LORD’s word came to 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 against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and tell them, even the shepherds, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Shouldn’t the shepherds feed the sheep?

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

You eat the fat. You clothe yourself with the wool. You kill the fatlings, but you don’t feed the sheep.

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 ।

You haven’t strengthened the diseased. You haven’t healed that which was sick. You haven’t bound up that which was broken. You haven’t brought back that which was driven away. You haven’t sought that which was lost, but you have ruled over them with force and with rigor.

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

They were scattered, because there was no shepherd. They became food to all the animals of the field, and 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 wandered through all the mountains and on every high hill. Yes, my sheep were scattered on all the surface of the earth. There was no one who searched or sought.”

7 यसकारण, ए गोठालाहरू हो, परमप्रभुको वचन सुनः

“‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the LORD’s word:

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,” says the Lord GOD, “surely because my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the animals of the field, because there was no shepherd, and my shepherds didn’t search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and didn’t feed my sheep,

9 यसकारण, ए गोठालाहरू हो, परमप्रभुको वचन सुनः

therefore, you shepherds, hear the LORD’s word!”

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 ।

The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against the shepherds. I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep. The shepherds won’t feed themselves any more. I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.”

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

“‘For the Lord GOD says: “Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.

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 seeks out his flock in the day that he is amongst his sheep that are scattered abroad, so I will seek out my sheep. I will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

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 ।

I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, 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 ।

I will feed them with good pasture, and their fold will be on the mountains of the height of Israel. There they will lie down in a good fold. They will feed on rich pasture 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 be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down,” says the Lord GOD.

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 ।

“I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong. 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 ।

“As for you, O my flock, the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male 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?

Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed on the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? And to have drunk of the clear waters, but must you foul the residue with your feet?

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

As for my sheep, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet.’

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

“Therefore the Lord GOD says to them: ‘Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.

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

Because you thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, until you have scattered them abroad,

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

therefore I will save my flock, and they will no more be a prey. I will judge between sheep and sheep.

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

I will set up one shepherd over them, and he will feed them, even my servant David. He will feed them, and he will be their shepherd.

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

I, the LORD, will be their God, and my servant David prince amongst them. 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 ।

“‘I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil animals to cease out of the land. They will dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods.

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

I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing. I will cause the shower to come down in its season. There will be showers of blessing.

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 ।

The tree of the field will yield its fruit, and the earth will yield its increase, and they will be secure in their land. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made slaves of them.

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

They will no more be a prey to the nations, neither will the animals of the earth devour them; but they will dwell securely, and no one will 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 ।

I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they will no more be consumed with famine in the land, and not bear the shame 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 ।

They will know that I, the LORD, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, says the Lord GOD.

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

You my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God,’ says the Lord GOD.”
