होशे 11
1 “जब इस्राएल जवान मानिस थियो, तब मैले त्यसलाई प्रेम गरें, र मैले मेरो पुत्रलाई मिश्रबाट बाहिर ल्याएँ ।
“Before the Israeli [people] became a nation [MET], I loved them [like a man loves] his son, and I called them out of Egypt.
2 जति धेरै तिनीहरूलाई बोलाइयो, तिनीहरू मबाट त्यति नै टाढा गए । तिनीहरूले बाल देवतालाई बलिदान चढाए, र मूर्तिहरूलाई धूप बाले ।
But while I continued to call them, they [continued to] turn away from me more and more. They offered sacrifices to their statues of Baal, and they burned incense to [honor] them.
3 तापनि एफ्राइमलाई हिंड्न सिकाउने म नै थिएँ । तिनीहरूका हात समतेर तिनीहरूलाई उठाउने म नै थिएँ, तर मैले तिनीहरूको वास्ता गरें भन्ने कुरा तिनीहरूलाई थाहै भएन ।
[The people of] Israel were [like a little boy] [MET], and [it was as though] it was I who taught them to walk, holding them by their hands. But they did not realize that it was I who was taking care of them.
4 तिनीहरूलाई मानवताका डोरीहरू र प्रेमको बन्धनहरूले मैले डोर्याएँ । तिनीहरूका काँधका जुवालाई सजिलो पारिदिने कोही व्यक्ति जस्तै म तिनीहरूका निम्ति थिएँ, र तिनीहरूका अगि म झुकें र तिनीहरूलाई खुवाएँ ।
[It was as though I fastened] ropes [around them] to lead them, while I loved them and was kind to them. [It was as though they were young oxen] [MET], and I lifted the yoke from their necks and bent down to feed them.
5 के तिनीहरू मिश्रदेशमा फर्कने छैनन् र? तिनीहरू मकहाँ फर्कन नमानेका हुनाले, के अश्शूरले तिनीहरूमाथि राज्य गर्ने छैन र?
But the people of Israel will become [slaves] again, like they were in Egypt, and [the people of] Assyria will [RHQ] rule over them, because the people of Israel refused to repent.
6 तिनीहरूका सहरहरूमा तरवार चल्नेछ र तिनीहरूका मुख्य ढोकाका बारहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नेछ । तिनीहरूका आफ्नै योजनाहरूका कारणले, त्यसले तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नेछ ।
[Their enemies] will use their swords [to attack] the cities in Israel and will destroy the bars in the gates [of the city walls]. [As a result], the people of Israeli will not be able to accomplish the things that they planned to do.
7 मबाट तर्केर जानलाई मेरा मानिसहरूले निश्चित गरेका छन् । तिनीहरूले सर्वोच्चलाई पुकारे पनि, कसैले पनि तिनीहरूलाई सहायता गर्नेछैन ।
My people are determined to (turn away from/abandon) me. They say that I am the great all-powerful God, but they do not honor me at all.
8 ए एफ्राइम, म कसरी तँलाई त्याग्न सक्छु? ए इस्राएल, म कसरी तँलाई अरूकहाँ सुम्पिन सक्छु र? म तँलाई कसरी अदमाझैं बनाउन सक्छु? म तँलाई कसरी सबोयीमझैं बनाउन सक्छु? मेरो हृदय मभित्र परिवर्तन भएको छ, र मेरो सम्पूर्ण दया जागेको छ ।
[You people of] Israel, I certainly do not want to [RHQ] abandon you and allow [your enemies] to capture you. I do not [RHQ] want to act toward you like I acted toward Admah and Zeboiim, [cities that I completely destroyed when I destroyed Sodom]. I [SYN] have changed my mind [about punishing you]; my desire to pity you has increased.
9 म आफ्नो प्रचण्ड क्रोधलाई प्रयोग गर्नेछैनँ । म फेरि एफ्राइमलाई नष्ट गर्नेछैनँ । किनकि म परमेश्वर हुँ र म मानिस होइनँ । तिमीहरूका बिचमा म परमपवित्र हुँ, र म क्रोधमा आउनेछैनँ ।
Although I am extremely angry, I do not want to punish you severely; I do not want to (devastate/completely ruin) Israel. [Humans would easily decide to do that], but I am God, not a human. I, the Holy One, am with you; although I am very angry [with you], I will not [destroy you].
10 तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको अनुसरण गर्नेछन्, र उहाँ सिंहझैं गर्जनुहुनेछ । जब उहाँ गर्जनुहुन्छ, उहाँका छोराछोरी पश्चिमबाट थरथर काम्दै आउनेछन् ।
You will follow me when I roar like [SIM] a lion; when I roar, [some of you] my children will tremble as you return [to Israel] from [the islands and seacoasts toward] the west.
11 तिनीहरू मिश्रदेशबाट चराझैं र अश्शूरबाट ढुकुरझैं काम्दै आउनेछन् । तिनीहरूका आफ्नै घरमा बस्ने म तिनीहरूलाई बनाउनेछु— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
[Some of] you will come swiftly from Egypt like [a flock of] birds; [others] will return from Assyria, like doves. I will enable you to live in your homes [in Israel] again. [That will surely happen, because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
12 एफ्राइमले झुटले, अनि इस्राएलको घरानाले छलले मलाई घेर्छ । तर यहूदाचाहिं अझै पनि म, परमेश्वरसँग हिंड्दैछ, र म, परमपवित्रमा विश्वासयोग्य छ ।”
[Yahweh says, “The people of] Israel have (surrounded me with lies/constantly told lies to me). And the people of Judah have [also] turned/rebelled against me, their God, the Holy One who always does what I promise to do, and the people of Judah worship other gods.”
