< इजकिएल 8 >
1 छैटौं वर्षको छैटौं महिनाको पाँचौं दिनमा जब म आफ्नो घरमा बसें र यहूदाका धर्म-गुरुहरू मेरो सामु बसे, तब त्यहाँ परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको बाहुली ममाथि पर्यो ।
On the fifth day of the sixth month [of that year], almost six years after we Israeli people had been (exiled/forced to go to Babylon), I was sitting in my house. The elders of Judah were sitting in front of me. Suddenly the power [MTY] of Yahweh the Lord came on me.
2 तब मैले हेरें, र हेर, त्यहाँ मानिसको रूप भएको आकार थियो। तिनको कम्मरमुनि आगोजस्तो थियो । अनि तिनको कम्मरदेखि माथिचाहिं चम्किरहेको धातुजस्तो देखिन्थ्यो ।
[in a vision] I saw someone who resembled a man. Below his waist, [his body] was like fire, and above his waist [his body] was glowing like very hot metal.
3 तब तिनले हातजस्तै आकार पसारेर मेरो कपाल समातेर मलाई जुरुक्क उठाए । आत्माले मलाई पृथ्वी र स्वर्गको बिचमा उचाल्नुभयो, र परमेश्वरका दर्शनहरूमा यरूशलेममा मन्दिरको भित्री चोकमा प्रवेश गर्ने उत्तरपट्टिको मूल ढोकानेर उहाँले मलाई लग्नुभयो, जहाँ डाही बनाउने मूर्ति खडा थियो ।
He reached out what seemed to be a hand and grabbed me by the hair of my head. The Spirit lifted me up high above the earth, and in visions God took me [from Babylon] to Jerusalem. He took me [to the temple], to the north gate, to the place where there was an idol that caused Yahweh to be very disgusted and furious.
4 तब हेर, मैले मैदानमा देखेको दर्शनअनुसार त्यहाँ इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको महिमा थियो ।
And there in front of me was the brilliant light that indicated the presence of the God whom the Israeli [people previously worshiped. It was] like the vision that I had seen alongside the Kebar River/Canal.
5 तब उहाँले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “ए मानिसको छोरो! तेरो आँखाले उत्तरतिर हेर् ।” यसैले मैले आँखाले उत्तरतिर हेरें, र वेदीतिर जाने ढोकाको उत्तर, त्यहाँ ढोकामा त्यो डाहको मूर्ति थियो ।
Yahweh said to me, “You human, look toward the north!” So I looked, and I saw in the entrance of the gate near the altar that idol that caused Yahweh to be disgusted and furious.
6 यसैले उहाँले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “ए मानिसको छोरो, तिनीहरू के गर्दैछन्, तँ देख्छस्? इस्राएलको घरानाले मलाई आफ्नो पवित्रस्थानबाट टाढा हटाउनलाई घिनलाग्दा काम यी नै हुन् । तर तँ फर्कनेछस् र अझ बढी घिनलाग्दा कामहरू देख्नेछस् ।”
He said to me, “You human, do you see what those Israeli people [MTY] are doing? They are doing detestable things here, things that will cause me to abandon my temple. But you will see things that are even more detestable.”
7 तब उहाँले मलाई चोकको ढोकामा ल्याउनुभयो, र मैले हेरें र त्यहाँ पर्खालमा प्वाल थियो ।
Then he brought me to the entrance of the courtyard. I looked and saw a hole in the wall.
8 उहाँले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “ए मानिसको छोरो, यो भित्ताभित्र खन् ।” त्यसैले मैले त्यो भित्ताभित्र खनें, र त्यहाँ एउटा ढोका थियो ।
He said to me, “You human, dig through the wall here.” So I dug through the wall, and I saw a doorway inside.
9 तब उहाँले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “जा र तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ गरिरहेका घिनलाग्दा दुष्ट कामहरू हेर् ।”
He said to me, “Go in and see the wicked and detestable things that they are doing there!”
10 यसैले म भित्र पसें र हेरें, र नियालें । त्यहाँ हरेक किसिमका घस्रने जन्तुहरू र घिनलाग्दा पशुहरू थिए! इस्राएलको घरानाका जम्मै मूर्तिहरूका चित्रहरू त्यहाँ भित्तामा चारैतिर बनाइएका थिए ।
So I went in through the doorway and looked, and I saw, all over the [of a big room, drawings of] all kinds of creatures that scurry across the ground and [other] detestable animals, and drawings of all the idols that the people of [were worshiping].
11 त्यहाँ इस्राएलका घरानाका सत्तरी जना धर्म-गुरुहरू थिए र शापानको छोरो याजन्याह तिनीहरूका माझमा खडा थिए । तिनीहरू मूर्तिहरूका सामु खडा थिए, र धूपको धूवाँ मास्तिर जाओस् भनेर हरेकले हातमा आ-आफ्ना धुपौरो लिएर खडा थिए ।
In front of them stood 70 elders of Israel. Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan, was standing among them. Each of them was holding a pan in which incense was burning, and fragrant smoke of the burning incense was rising up.
12 उहाँले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “ए मानिसको छोरो, इस्राएलका घरानाका धर्म-गुरुहरूले अँध्यारोमा के गरिरहेका के तँ देख्छस्? आफ्नो मूर्तिको गुप्त कोठामा तिनीहरू प्रत्येकले यसो गर्छन् किनकि तिनीहरू भन्छन्, 'परमप्रभुले हामीलाई देख्नुहुन्न। परमप्रभुले देशलाई त्याग्नुभएको छ' ।”
Yahweh said to me, “You human, look at [RHQ] what the Israeli elders are doing here in the darkness, each of them standing in front of the shrine of his own idol! They are saying, ‘Yahweh does not see us; Yahweh has deserted this country.’”
13 तब उहाँले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “फेरि फर्की र तिनीहरूले गरिरहेका अरू ठुला घिनलाग्दा कामहरू हेर् ।”
He also said, “But you will see things that are even more detestable!”
14 त्यसपछि उहाँले मलाई परमप्रभुका मन्दिरको उत्तरपट्टिका ढोकाको मुखमा लानुभयो र हेर, त्यहाँ स्त्रीहरू बसेर तम्मूज देवताको लागि रोइरहेका थिए ।
Then he took me to the entrance at the north gate of the temple. I saw women sitting there, mourning for [the death of the god of the people of Babylonia], Tammuz.
15 त्यसैले उहाँले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “ए मानिसको छोरो, के तँ यो देख्छस्? फर्की र यीभन्दा पनि बढी घिनलाग्दा कुराहरू हेर् ।”
He said to me, “You human, you see this [RHQ], but you will see things that are more detestable than this!”
16 उहाँले मलाई परमप्रभुका मन्दिरको भित्री चोकमा लानुभयो, र हेर, अनि त्यहाँ वेदी र दलानको बिचमा परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको ढोकामा करिब पच्चीस जना मानिस थिए, आफ्ना पिठ परमप्रभुको मन्दिरतिर र अनुहारचाहिं पूर्वपट्टि फर्काएर तिनीहरूले सूर्यको पुजा गरिरहेका थिए ।
Then he took me into the courtyard outside the temple. There at the entrance of the temple, between the porch and the altar, were about 25 men. Their backs were toward the temple and their faces were toward the east, and they were bowing down to [worship] the sun [as it rose] in the east.
17 उहाँले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “ए मानिसको छोरो, के तँ यो देख्छस्? के तिनीहरूले यहाँ गरिरहेका यी घिनलाग्दा काम यहूदाका घरानाको लागि सानो कुरा हो र? किनकि तिनीहरूले देशलाई हिंसाले भरेका छन् र आफ्ना नाकमा हाँगा राखेर मलाई रिस उठाउनलाई तर्केका छन् ।
He said to me, “You human, you see [RHQ] what they are doing. [Do you think that] it is not important that these men of Judah are doing these detestable things here? [But they are doing other terrible things]. They are acting violently throughout their country, and continually causing me to be angry. Look at them! They are insulting me by their actions [IDM]!
18 यसैले म पनि तिनीहरूको माझमा काम गर्नेछु । मेरा आँखामा दया हुनेछैन, र म तिनीहरूलाई छोड्नेछैनँ । तिनीहरू उच्च सोरले मेरो कानैमा कराए तापनि म तिनीहरूको कुरा सुन्नेछैनँ ।
So I will show them that I am very angry. I will not pity them or act mercifully toward them. And even if they shout to me [to help them], I will not pay attention to them.”
