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 ।
According to the word of Ephraim he adopted ordinances for himself in Israel; and he established them for Baal, and 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 have sinned increasingly, and have made for themselves a molten image of their silver, according to the fashion of idols, the work of artificers accomplished for them: they say, Sacrifice men, for the calves have come to an end.
3 यसैले तिनीहरू बिहानको बादलझैं, चाँडै नै बिलाइजाने शितझैं, खलाबाट हुरीले टाढा उडाएको भुसझैं, र चिम्नीबाट निस्कने धूवाँझैं हुनेछन् ।
Therefore shall they be as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that passes away, as chaff blown away from the threshing floor, and as a vapor from tears.
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 ।
But I am the Lord your God that establishes the heaven, and creates the earth, whose hands have framed the whole host of heaven: but I showed them not to you that you should go after them: and I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and you shall know no God but me; and there is no Saviour beside me.
5 उजाड-स्थानमा, अति सुक्खा भूमिमा नै, मैले तिमीहरूलाई चिनें ।
I tended you as a shepherd in the wilderness, in an uninhabited land.
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 pastures, so they were completely filled; and their hearts were exalted; therefore they forgot me.
7 तिनीहरूका निम्ति म एउटा सिंहझैं हुनेछु, र चितुवाझैं म तिनीहरूको बाटोभरि ढुक्नेछु ।
And I will be to them as a panther, and as a leopard.
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 by the way of the Assyrians, as a she-bear excited, and I will rend the caul of their heart, and the lions' whelps of the thicket shall devour them there; the wild beasts of the field shall rend them in pieces.
9 ए इस्राएल, म तँलाई नष्ट गर्नेछु । कसले तँलाई सहायता गर्नेछ?
O Israel, who will aid [you] in your destruction?
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’?
Where is this your king? let him even save you in all your cities: let him judge you, of whom you said, Give me a king and a prince.
11 मैले आफ्नो क्रोधमा तँलाई एउटा राजा दिएँ, र मेरो क्रोधमा त्यसलाई मैले हटाएँ ।
And I gave you a king in mine anger, and kept [him] back in my wrath.
12 एफ्राइमको अपराध थुप्रिएको छ । त्यसको पाप थुप्रिएको छ ।
Ephraim [has framed] a conspiracy of unrighteousness, his sin is hidden.
13 प्रसवको पीडा त्यसमाथि आउनेछ, तर त्यो एउटा मूर्ख छोरा हो, किनकि जन्मने समय हुँदा पनि त्यो कोखबाट बाहिर आउँदैन ।
Pains as of a woman in travail shall come upon him: he is your wise son, because he shall not stay in the destruction of [your] 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 deliver [them] out of the power of Hades, and will redeem them from death: where is your penalty, O death? O Hades, where is your sting? comfort is hidden from mine 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 ।
Forasmuch as he will cause a division among [his] brethren, the Lord shall bring upon him an east wind from the desert, and shall dry up his veins [and] quite drain his fountains: he shall dry up his land, and [spoil] all his precious 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 be utterly destroyed: for she has resisted her God; they shall fall by the sword, and their sucklings shall be dashed against the ground, and their women with child ripped up.
