होशे 13
1 “जब एफ्राइम बोल्थ्यो, तब त्यहाँ कम्पन हुन्थ्यो । त्यसले आफैंलाई इस्राएलमा उच्च पार्यो, तर बाल देवताको उपासना गरेको कारणले त्यो दोषी ठहरियो, र त्यो मर्यो ।
When Ephraim spoke trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.
2 अब तिनीहरू झन् धेरै पाप गर्छन् । आफ्ना चाँदीलाई ढालेर तिनीहरू मूर्तिहरू बनाउँछन्, सकेसम्म राम्रो सिपले ती मूर्तिहरू बनाउँछन्, र ती सबै शिल्पकारका काम हुन् । मानिसहरूले तिनीहरूका बारेमा भन्छन्, ‘बलिदान चढाउने यी मानिसहरूले बाछाहरूलाई चुम्बन गर्छन् ।’
And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
3 यसैले तिनीहरू बिहानको बादलझैं, चाँडै नै बिलाइजाने शितझैं, खलाबाट हुरीले टाढा उडाएको भुसझैं, र चिम्नीबाट निस्कने धूवाँझैं हुनेछन् ।
Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud and as the early dew that passes away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
4 तर मिश्रदेशदेखि नै म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर हुँ । मबाहेक अर्को कुनै परमेश्वर छैन भनी तिमीहरूले स्वीकार गर्नुपर्छ । र मबाहेक कुनै अर्को उद्धारकर्ता छैन भनी तिमीहरूले स्वीकार गर्नुपर्छ ।
Yet I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt, and you shall know no god but me: for there is no savior beside me.
5 उजाड-स्थानमा, अति सुक्खा भूमिमा नै, मैले तिमीहरूलाई चिनें ।
I did know you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
6 जब तिमीहरूले खर्कमा खायौ, तब तिमीहरू भरपेट भयौ, र जब तिमीहरूको पेट भरियो, तब तिमीहरूका हृदयमा घमण्ड पलायो । त्यही कारणले तिमीहरूले मलाई भुल्यौ ।
According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
7 तिनीहरूका निम्ति म एउटा सिंहझैं हुनेछु, र चितुवाझैं म तिनीहरूको बाटोभरि ढुक्नेछु ।
Therefore I will be to them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:
8 छाउराहरू खोसिएको माउ भालूले झैं म तिनीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछु । तिनीहरूका छातीहरूलाई म च्यात्नेछु, र त्यहाँ म तिनीहरूलाई सिंहले झैं निल्नेछु जसरी जङ्गली पशुले तिनीहरूलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्छ ।
I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the lobe of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
9 ए इस्राएल, म तँलाई नष्ट गर्नेछु । कसले तँलाई सहायता गर्नेछ?
O Israel, you have destroyed yourself; but in me is your help.
10 तेरो राजा कहाँ छ, जसले तँलाई सबै सहरहरूमा बचाउन सक्ला? तेरा शासकहरू कहाँ छन्, जसको विषयमा तैंले मलाई भनिस्, ‘मलाई एउटा राजा र राजकुमारहरू दिनुहोस्’?
I will be your king: where is any other that may save you in all your cities? and your judges of whom you said, Give me a king and princes?
11 मैले आफ्नो क्रोधमा तँलाई एउटा राजा दिएँ, र मेरो क्रोधमा त्यसलाई मैले हटाएँ ।
I gave you a king in my anger, and took him away in my wrath.
12 एफ्राइमको अपराध थुप्रिएको छ । त्यसको पाप थुप्रिएको छ ।
The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.
13 प्रसवको पीडा त्यसमाथि आउनेछ, तर त्यो एउटा मूर्ख छोरा हो, किनकि जन्मने समय हुँदा पनि त्यो कोखबाट बाहिर आउँदैन ।
The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come on him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children.
14 के म तिनीहरूलाई चिहानको शक्तिदेखि बचाउनेछु र? के म तिनीहरूलाई मृत्युबाट बचाउनेछु र? ए मृत्यु, तेरा विपत्तिहरू कहाँ छन्? ए चिहान, तेरो विनाश कहाँ छ? मेरा आँखाबाट दया लुकेको छ ।” (Sheol h7585)
I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be your plagues; O grave, I will be your destruction: repentance shall be hid from my eyes. (Sheol h7585)
15 एफ्राइम आफ्ना दाजुभाइका बिचमा समृद्ध भए पनि, पूर्वीय बतास आउनेछ, परमप्रभुको बतास उजाड-स्थानबाट बहनेछ । एफ्राइमको मुहान सुक्नेछ, र त्यसको इनारमा पानी हुनेछैन । त्यसका हरेक बहुमुल्य थोकको भण्डारलाई त्यसको शत्रुले लुट्नेछ ।
Though he be fruitful among his brothers, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
16 सामरिया दोषी ठहरिनेछ, किनकि त्यसले आफ्नो परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गरेको छ । तिनीहरू तरवारद्वारा मारिनेछन्, र तिनीहरूका जवान छोराछोरीलाई पछारेर टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिनेछ, र तिनीहरूका गर्भवती स्त्रीहरूका पेट चिरिनेछन् ।
Samaria shall become desolate; for she has rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
