होशे 1
1 यहूदाका राजाहरू उज्जियाह, योताम, आहाज र हिजकिया अनि येहोआशका छोरा इस्राएलका राजा यारोबामको समयमा बेरीको छोरो होशेकहाँ आऐको परमप्रभुको वचन यही हो,
[I am] Hosea, the son of Beeri. Yahweh gave me these messages [at various times] during the years that Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were the kings of Judah, and Jeroboam the son of Jehoash was the King of Israel.
2 जब परमप्रभु पहिलो पटक होशेद्वारा बोल्नुभयो, तब उहाँले तिनलाई यसो भन्नुभयो, “जा अनि एउटा वेश्यालाई आफ्नो पत्नी बना । त्यसले आफ्नो वेश्यागमनको फलस्वरूप छोराछोरी जन्माउनेछे । किनकि देशले परमप्रभुलाई त्यागेर ठुलो वेश्यागमन गरिरहेको छ ।”
When Yahweh first [began to] give messages to me [to tell to the people of Israel], he said to me, “Go and marry a prostitute. But [some of] her children will be born as a result of her having sex with men to whom she is not married. That will illustrate how the people of Israel have turned away from me and worship (idols/other gods).”
3 यसैले होशे गएर दिब्लैमकी छोरी गोमेरलाई विवाह गरे, र त्यो गर्भवती भई र तिनको निम्ती एउटा छोरो जन्माई ।
So I married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and gave birth to my son.
4 परमप्रभुले होशेलाई भन्नुभयो, “उसको नाउँ यिजरेल राख् । किनकि केही समयमा नै, म येहूको घरानालाई यिजरेलमा बगाएको रगतको कारण दण्ड दिनेछु र इस्राएलको घरानाको राज्यलाई म अन्त गर्नेछु ।
Yahweh said to me, “Give him the name Jezreel, [which means ‘God scatters’], because I will soon punish the descendants [MTY] of [King] Jehu [by scattering them], because he killed many of my people at Jezreel [town]. [Some day] I will end the kingdom of Israel,
5 त्यस दिनमा यिजरेलको बेसीमा म इस्राएलको धनु भाँचिदिनेछु ।”
by destroying the power [MTY] of [the army of] Israel in Jezreel Valley.”
6 गोमेर फेरि गर्भवती भई र एउटी छोरी जन्माई । तब परमप्रभुले होशेलाई भन्नुभयो, “त्यसको नाउँ लो-रूहामा राख्, किनकि इस्राएलको घरानालाई म फेरि कृपा गर्ने छैनँ, तिनीहरूलाई म कुनै किसिमले पनि क्षमा गर्ने छैनँ ।
[Later] Gomer became pregnant [again], and she gave birth to a daughter. Yahweh said to me “Give her the name Lo-ruhamah, [which means ‘not loved],’ because I will no longer [show that I] love the people [MET] of Israel, and I will not forgive them [for the sins that they have committed].
7 तापनि यहूदाको घरानामाथि म कृपा गर्नेछु, र म परमप्रभु तिनीहरूका परमेश्वर आफैले तिनीहरूलाई बचाउनेछु । धनु, तरवार, युद्ध, घोडाहरू, वा घोडचढीहरूले, म तिनीहरूलाई बचाउनेछैन ।”
But I will [show that I] love the people [MTY] of Judah [by saving them from their enemies]. However, it will not be by weapons and armies or horses and chariots that I will save them. Instead, it will be by [the power that I], Yahweh their God, [have].”
8 गोमेरले लो-रूहामालाई दूध छुटाएपछि, त्यो गर्भवती भई र अर्को एउटा छोरो जन्माई ।
After Gomer had (weaned/stopped breast-feeding) Lo-ruhamah, she became pregnant again, and she gave birth to another son.
9 तब परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “त्यसको नाउँ लो-अम्मी राख, किनकि तिमीहरू मेरा मनिसहरू होइनौ, र म तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर होइनँ ।
Yahweh said “Give him the name Lo-ammi, [which means 'not my people', ] because the people of Israel are no [longer my people], and I am not their God.
10 तापनि इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको सङ्ख्या समुद्रको किनारको बालुवा जत्तिकै हुनेछ, जसलाई नाप्न वा गन्न सकिंदैन । त्यो त्यहीं हुनेछ जहाँ तिनीहरूलाई भनिएको थियो, ‘तिमीहरू मेरा प्रजा होइनौ’, तिनीहरूलाई यसो भनिनेछ, ‘तिमीहरू जीवित परमेश्वरका मानिसहरू हौ ।’
But [some day] the people of Israel will be [as numerous] as [SIM] the [grains of] sand on the seashore; no one will be able to count them. Now [I] am saying to them, ‘You are not my people,’ but then people will say to them, ‘[You are the] children of God who is all-powerful.’
11 यहूदाका मानिसहरू र इस्राएलका मानिसहरू, एकसाथ भेला पारिनेछन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना निम्ति एक जना अगुवालाई नियुक्त गर्नेछन्, र तिनीहरू त्यस देशबाट माथितर्फ जानेछन् किनकि यिजरेलको दिन महान् हुनेछ ।
[At that time], the people of Judah and the people of Israel will unite. They will appoint one leader for all of them, and they will return from the countries [to which they have been (exiled/forced to go)]. That will be a great time; Jezreel [also means ‘God plants’, and it will be as though God will plant them in this country again].”
