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, there was trembling. He exalted himself in Israel, but when he became guilty 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 ।’
Now they sin more and more, and have made themselves molten images of their silver, even idols according to their own understanding, all of them the work of the craftsmen. They say of them, 'They offer human sacrifice and kiss the calves.'
3 यसैले तिनीहरू बिहानको बादलझैं, चाँडै नै बिलाइजाने शितझैं, खलाबाट हुरीले टाढा उडाएको भुसझैं, र चिम्नीबाट निस्कने धूवाँझैं हुनेछन् ।
Therefore they will be like the morning mist, and like the dew that passes away early, like the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing floor, and like 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 Jehovah your God from the land of Egypt; and you shall acknowledge no god but me, and besides me there is no savior.
5 उजाड-स्थानमा, अति सुक्खा भूमिमा नै, मैले तिमीहरूलाई चिनें ।
I fed 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 they have forgotten me.
7 तिनीहरूका निम्ति म एउटा सिंहझैं हुनेछु, र चितुवाझैं म तिनीहरूको बाटोभरि ढुक्नेछु ।
Therefore I am like a lion to them. Like a leopard, I will lurk by the path.
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 like a bear that is bereaved of her cubs, and will tear the covering of their heart. There I will devour them like a lioness. The wild animal will tear them.
9 ए इस्राएल, म तँलाई नष्ट गर्नेछु । कसले तँलाई सहायता गर्नेछ?
You are destroyed, Israel, because you are against me, against 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’?
Where is your king now, that he 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 have given you a king in my anger, and have taken him away in my wrath.
12 एफ्राइमको अपराध थुप्रिएको छ । त्यसको पाप थुप्रिएको छ ।
The guilt of Ephraim is stored up. His sin is stored up.
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 will come on him. He is an unwise son; for when it is time, he doesn't come to the opening of the womb.
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 Sheol. I will redeem them from death. Death, where is your victory? Sheol, where is your sting? "Compassion will be hidden 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 is fruitful among his brothers, an east wind will come, the breath of Jehovah coming up from the wilderness; and his spring will become dry, and his fountain will be dried up. He will plunder the storehouse of treasure.
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 will bear her guilt; for she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword. Their infants will be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women will be ripped open."
