होशे 2

1 आफ्‍ना दाजुभाइलाई ‘मेरा मानिसहरू’ र आफ्ना दिदीबहिनीलाई ‘तिमीहरूलाई कृपा गरिएको छ’ भन ।”

Say ye to your brothers, Ammi, and to your sisters, Ruhamah.

2 आफ्नी आमाको विदरुद्धमा एउटा मुद्धा हाल, एउटा मुद्धा हाल, किनकि त्यो मेरी पत्‍नी होइन, र न त म त्यसको पति हुँ । त्यसले आफ्नो सामनेबाट आफ्‍नो वेश्‍यागमन, र आफ्ना स्‍तनहरूको बिचबाट आफ्‍नो व्यभिचारका कामहरूलाई हटाओस् ।

Contend with your mother. Contend, for she is not my wife, nor am I her husband. And let her put away her whoredoms from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts,

3 होइन भने, म त्यसलाई नाङ्गो पार्नेछु र त्यो जन्‍मको दिनमा झैं म त्यसको नग्‍नता देखाउनेछु । उजाड-स्‍थानजस्‍तै, एउटा सुख्‍खा लागेको देशजस्‍तै, म त्यसलाई बनाउनेछु, र त्यसलाई तिर्खाले मर्ने म बानउनेछु ।

lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.

4 त्यसका छोराछोरीलाई म कृपा देखाउनेछैनँ, किनकि ती वेश्‍यागमनका सन्‍तान हुन् ।

Yea, I will have no mercy upon her sons, for they are sons of whoredom,

5 किनकि तिनीहरूकी आमा वेश्‍या थिई, र तिनीहरूलाई गर्भधारण गर्नेले लज्‍जास्‍पद किसिमले काम गरेकी छे । त्यसले भनी, “म आफ्‍ना प्रमीहरूको पछि जानेछु, किनकि तिनीहरूले मलाई मेरो रोटी र पानी, मेरो ऊन र सूती कपडा, मेरो तेल र दाखमद्य दिन्छन् ।”

for their mother has played the harlot. She who conceived them has done shamefully, for she said, I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.

6 यसकारण त्यसको मार्ग रोक्‍नलाई म काँडे झाडीका बार लगाउनेछु । त्यसले आफ्नो बाटो पत्ता नलगाओस् भनेर, म त्यसको विरुद्ध पर्खाल लगाउनेछु ।

Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she shall not find her paths.

7 त्यो आफ्ना प्रेमीहरूको पछि लाग्‍नेछ, तर त्यसले तिनीहरूलाई भेट्‍टाउनेछैन । त्यसले तिनीहरूलाई खोज्‍नेछ, तर त्यसले तिनीहरूलाई पाउनेछैन । अनि त्यसले भन्‍नेछ, “म आफ्‍नो पहिलो पतिकहाँ नै फर्कनेछु, किनभने अहिलेभन्दा त्यो नै मेरो निम्ति असल थियो ।”

And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them. And she shall seek them, but shall not find them. Then she shall say, I will go and return to my first husband, for it was better with me then than now.

8 किनकि त्यसलाई अन्‍न, नयाँ दाखमद्य र तेल दिने, म नै थिएँ भनी त्यसलाई थाहा भएको थएन, र जसले त्यसलाई प्रशस्‍त चाँदी र सुन दियो जसलाई तिनीहरूले त्‍यस बेला बालको निम्ती प्रयोग गरे ।

For she did not know that I gave her the grain, and the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.

9 यसैले फसलको समयमा म त्यसको अन्‍न, र दाखमद्यको मौसममा म त्‍यो फिर्ता लिनेछु । त्यसको नग्‍नतालाई ढाक्‍न प्रयोग भएका, मेरो ऊन र सूतीको कपडा म फिर्ता लिनेछु ।

Therefore I will take back my grain in the time of it, and my new wine in the season of it, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.

10 तब त्यसका प्रेमीहरूकै सामु म त्यसलाई नाङ्गो बनाउनेछु, र मेरो हातबाट त्यसलाई कसैले बचाउनेछैन ।

And now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hand.

11 त्यसका सबै उत्‍सवहरू, त्‍यसका भोजहरू, त्‍यसका औँसीका उत्‍सवहरू, त्‍यसका शबाथहरू, र त्यसका निर्धारित सबै चाडलाई म अन्‍त गरिदिनेछु ।

I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feasts, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.

12 “म त्यसका दाखका बोटहरू र अन्जीरका रुखहरूलाई नष्‍ट गरिदिनेछु, जसका विषयमा त्यसले भन्‍थी, ‘मेरा प्रेमीहरूले मलाई दिएका ज्याला यी नै हुन् ।’ तिनलाई म झाडी तुल्‍याउनेछु, र मैदानका पशुहरूले ती खानेछन् ।

And I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, of which she has said, These are my hire that my lovers have given me. And I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.

13 बाल देवताका भोजका दिनका निम्ति म त्यसलाई दण्ड दिनेछु, जति बेला त्यसले तिनीहरूका निम्ति धूप बाली, जति बेला त्यसले आफ्ना औँठीहरू र गहनाले आफूलाई सुसज्‍जिए पारी, अनि त्यो आफ्ना प्रेमीहरूको पछि गई र मलाई बिर्सी, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”

And I will visit upon her the days of the Baalim, to which she burned incense when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, says Jehovah.

14 यसैले म त्यसलाई फकाउन जानेछु । म त्यसलाई उजाड-स्‍थानमा ल्याउनेछु र त्योसँग कोमल भएर बोल्‍नेछु ।

Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak soothingly to her.

15 त्यसका दाखबारीहरू र आशाको ढोकाको रूपमा आकोरको बेसी, म त्यसलाई फिर्ता गरिदिनेछु । त्यसको जवानीका दिनहरूमा झैं, र मिश्रदेशबाट बाहिर आएको दिनहरूमा झैं, त्यसले मलाई त्यहाँ जवाफ दिनेछ ।

And I will give her her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope. And she shall make answer there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

16 “यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, त्यो दिन यस्‍तो हुनेछ, तैंले मलाई ‘मेरो पति’ भन्‍नेछस्, अनि फेरि मलाई ‘मेरो बाल’ भन्‍नेछैनस् ।

And it shall be at that day, says Jehovah, that thou shall call me Ishi, and shall no more call me Baali.

17 किनकि म त्यसको मुखबाट बालको नाउँ हटाइदिनेछु, र तिनका नाउँ फेरि कहिल्यै सम्झना हुनेछैन ।”

For I will take away the names of the Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned by their name.

18 “त्यस दिन मैदानका पशुहरूसँगै, आकाशका चराहरूसँगै, अनि जमिनमा घस्रने जीवजन्‍तुसँगै, म तिनीहरूसँग एउटा करार बाँध्‍नेछु । म देशबाट धनु, तरवार, र युद्धलाई हटाउनेछु, र म तँलाई सुरक्षासाथ पल्‍टिन दिनेछु ।

And in that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the heavens, and with the creeping things of the ground. And I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, and will make them to lie down safely.

19 सदासर्वदाको निम्‍ति तेरो पति हुने प्रतिज्ञा म गर्नेछु । धार्मिकता, न्याय, करारको विश्‍वस्तता र कृपामा तेरो पति हुने प्रतिज्ञा म गर्नेछु ।

And I will betroth thee to me forever. Yea, I will betroth thee to me in righteousness, and in justice, and in loving kindness, and in mercies.

20 विश्‍वस्ततामा प्रतिज्ञा गरेर म आफैंलाई तँकहाँ सुम्‍पनेछु, र तैंले परमप्रभुलाई चिन्‍नेछस् ।

I will even betroth thee to me in faithfulness, and thou shall know Jehovah.

21 त्यो दिनमा जवाफ दिनेछु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, म आकाशमण्‍डललाई जवाफ दिनेछु, र तिनले पृथ्‍वीलाई जवाफ दिनेछन् ।

And it shall come to pass in that day, I will answer, says Jehovah. I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth,

22 पृथ्‍वीले अन्‍न, नयाँ दाखमद्य र तेललाई जवाफ दिनेछ र तिनले यिजरेललाई जवाफ दिनेछन् ।

and the earth shall answer the grain, and the new wine, and the oil, and they shall answer Jezreel.

23 आफ्‍नो निम्ति म त्यसलाई जमिनमा रोप्‍नेछु, र मैले लो-रूहामामाथि कृपा गर्नेछु । लो-अम्‍मीलाई म भन्‍नेछु, ‘तिमीहरू मेरा मानिसहरू हौ’ र तिनीहरूले मलाई भन्‍नेछन्, ‘तपाईं मेरा परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्‍छ ।’”

And I will sow her to me in the earth. And I will have mercy upon her who had not obtained mercy. And I will say to those who were not my people, Thou are my people, and they shall say, My God.
