होशे 10
1 इस्राएल एउटा मौलाएको दाखको बोट हो जसले फल फलाउँछ । त्यसको फलको जति बढ्यो, त्यसले त्यति नै धेरै वेदी बनायो । त्यसको देशले जति धेरै उब्जनी दियो, त्यसले त्यति नै धेरै स्तम्भ खडा गर्यो ।
Israel is like a spreading vine that produces fruit for itself. The more fruit they produced, the more altars they built. The more productive the land, the more beautiful they made the sacred pillars.
2 किनकि तिनीहरूको हृदय छलपूर्ण छ । अब तिनीहरूले आफ्नो दोषको दण्ड भोग्नैपर्छ । परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूका वेदीहरू भत्काउनुहुन्छ, तिनीहरूका स्तम्भहरू नाश गर्नुहुन्छ ।
The people have minds that are deceptive, and now they must take responsibility for their guilt. The Lord will break apart their altars and destroy their sacred pillars.
3 किनकि तब तिनीहरूले यसो भन्नेछन्, “हाम्रा राजा छैनन्, किनकि हामीले परमप्रभुको भय मानेनौं, अनि राजा भए पनि उनले हाम्रो निम्ति के गर्न सक्थे र?”
Then they will say, “We have no king, for we do not fear the Lord, and yet what would a king do for us?”
4 तिनीहरू फोस्रा शब्दहरू बोल्छन्, र झुटो कसम खाएर करार बाँध्छन् । यसैले जोतेको डोबहरूमा विषालु झारहरू उम्रेझैं, न्याय बढ्नेछ ।
They speak empty words, swearing false promises to make a covenant. Their “justice” flourishes like poisonous weeds in the furrows of a field.
5 बेथ-आवनका बाछाहरूका कारणले, सामरियामा बसोबास गर्नेहरू डराउँनेछन् । त्यसका मानिसहरूले तिनीहरूका निम्ति विलाप गरे, अनि तीमाथि र तिनका गौरवमा, आनन्द मनाउने ती मूर्तिपुजक पुजारीहरूले पनि विलाप गरे, तर तिनीहरू अब त्यहाँ छैनन् ।
Those who live in Samaria tremble in awe at the calf of Beth-aven. Its people mourn for it in their pagan rituals, while its idolatrous priests celebrate its glory. But it will certainly be taken away from them. It will be brought to Assyria as tribute for the great king.
6 महान् राजाका निम्ति उपहारको रूपमा, तिनीहरू अश्शूरमा लगिनेछन् । एफ्राइम अपमान हुनेछ, र इस्राएल आफ्नो मूर्तिको लागि लाजमा पर्नेछ ।
Ephraim will be disgraced, and Israel will be ashamed at its own decisions.
7 पानीको सतहमाथिको काठको एउटा टुक्राझैं, सामरियाका राजा नष्ट पारिनेछ ।
Samaria and its king will be destroyed, swept away like a twig on the surface of the water.
8 दुष्टताका उच्च ठाउँहरू नष्ट हुनेछ । यो इस्राएलको पाप हो! तिनीहरूका वेदीहरूमाथि काँडाहरू र सिउँढीहरू पलाउनेछन् । मानिसहरूले पर्वतहरूलाई, “हामीलाई छोप!” अनि पहाडहरूलाई, “हामीमाथि खस!” भन्नेछन् ।
The high places of Aven, where Israel sinned, will be demolished, and thorns and thistles will grow over their altars. Then they will call to the mountains, “Bury us!” and to the hills, “Fall on us!”
9 “ए इस्राएल, तैंले गिबाको दिनदेखि नै पाप गरेको छस् । तँ अहिले त्यहाँ नै बसेको छस् । के गिबामा खराब गर्नेहरूका छोराहरूलाई युद्धले सखाप पार्नेछैन र?
Since the days of Gibeah you have been sinning, Israel, and you haven't changed. Do the people of Gibeah think that war will not come to them?
10 जब म चाहन्छु, तब म तिनीहरूलाई अनुशासित गर्नेछु । तिनीहरूका विरूद्ध जातिहरू एकसाथ भेला हुनेछन् अनि तिनीहरूको दोब्बर अधर्मको निम्ति तिनीहरूलाई बन्धनमा राख्नेछन् ।
When I choose I will punish the wicked. The nations will be gathered together against them when they are punished for their double crime.
11 एफ्राइम दाइँ गर्न मनपराउने दाइएको बाछोझैं हो, यसैले त्यसको सुन्दर काँधमा म एउटा जुवा हाल्नेछु । म एफ्राइमको काँधमा म एउटा जुवा राख्नेछु, यहूदाले हलो जोत्नेछ । र याकूब आफैले लिंड्को लगाउनेछ ।”
Ephraim is like a trained heifer that loved to thresh the grain, but now I will place a yoke on her strong neck. I will harness Ephraim; Judah will have to pull the plough; and Jacob must break up the ground for himself.
12 आफ्ना निम्ति धार्मिकता छर, अनि करारको विश्वस्तताको फल कटनी गर । आफ्नो बाँझो बारी जोत, किनकि परमप्रभु आएर तिमीहरूमाथि धार्मिकता नबर्षाउनुभएसम्म यो उहाँको खोजी गर्ने समय यही हो ।
Sow for yourselves what is right and you will reap unfailing love. Break up the unploughed ground. It's time to go to the Lord until he comes and rains down goodness on you.
13 तिमीहरूले दुष्टता जोतेका छौ, अनि तिमीहरूले अन्यायको कटनी गर्यौ । तिमीहरूले छलको फल खाएका छौ, किनभने तिमीहरूले आफ्ना योजनाहरू, र आफ्ना धेरै सिपाहीहरूमा भर पर्यौ ।
But instead you have planted wickedness and reaped an evil harvest. You have eaten the fruit of lies, because you trusted in your own strength and in your many warriors.
14 यसैले तिमीहरूका मानिसहरूमा युद्धको गर्जन हुनेछ, र तिमीहरूका किल्लाबन्दी गरिएका सहरहरू नष्ट हुनेछन् । युद्धको दिनमा शल्मनले बेथ-आर्बेललाई नाश गरेझैं त्यो हुनेछ, जुन बेला आमाहरूलाई आफ्ना छोराछोरीसितै टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिएको थियो ।
The terrifying noise of battle will rise against your people, and all your fortresses will be destroyed, just as Shalman devastated Beth Arbel in the time of war. Even mothers and children were dashed to pieces.
15 यसैले ए बेथेल, तेरो ठुलो दुष्टताको कारणले, तँलाई पनि यस्तै हुनेछ । झिसमिसेमा इस्राएलका राजा पूर्ण रूपले नाश पारिनेछ ।
This is what will happen to you, Bethel, because of your great wickedness. At dawn, the king of Israel will be utterly destroyed.
