होशे 2
1 आफ्ना दाजुभाइलाई ‘मेरा मानिसहरू’ र आफ्ना दिदीबहिनीलाई ‘तिमीहरूलाई कृपा गरिएको छ’ भन ।”
[At that time, ] you will say to your fellow-Israeli men, “[You are] God’s people,” and [you will say] to your fellow-Israeli women, “You are ones whom God loves.”
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 ।
[Yahweh also said to me], “I want you to accuse the Israeli people. [It is as though] [MET] this nation is your mother, but this nation is [no longer as though it is] [MET] my wife, and it is [no longer as though] [MET] I am its husband. Tell the Israeli people that they must stop [acting like] a prostitute [by worshiping other gods]; they must stop showing by their behavior that they (are unfaithful to/have abandoned) [me] [MET].
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 ।
If they do not do that, I will not give them [food and] clothes [as a husband should give to his wife]; I will take away those things, and I will cause their nation to become [as deserted] as it was on the day that I [brought their ancestors out of Egypt and caused them to become a nation] [MET]. I will cause their country to be like [SIM] a desert; there will be no rain to water the ground [MET].
4 त्यसका छोराछोरीलाई म कृपा देखाउनेछैनँ, किनकि ती वेश्यागमनका सन्तान हुन् ।
I will not pity the people, because they have [abandoned me] as [MET] prostitutes abandon their husbands.
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 ।”
Their parents are like prostitutes [MET]: they have been unfaithful [to me], and they have done [very] disgraceful things. They said, ‘We will run to [our idols/gods] who love us; [they are the ones] who give us food and water and wool and linen and [olive] oil, and [wine to] drink.’
6 यसकारण त्यसको मार्ग रोक्नलाई म काँडे झाडीका बार लगाउनेछु । त्यसले आफ्नो बाटो पत्ता नलगाओस् भनेर, म त्यसको विरुद्ध पर्खाल लगाउनेछु ।
So [it will be as though] [MET] I am blocking their road with thornbushes, and putting put a wall around them so that they do not know which way to go.
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 ।”
They will run to their idols/gods that [they think] love them, but they will not find them. They will search for their false gods, but they will not find them. Then they will say, ‘[Perhaps] we should return to [Yahweh], whom we worshiped previously [MET], because things were better for us then than they are 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 ।
But they do not realize that I, [Yahweh], am the one who gave them grain and wine and [olive] oil; I am the one who gave them silver and gold which they used to worship 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 return and take my grain and grapes from them when they are ripe. I will take from them the wool and linen that I gave to them [to make their clothes] [MTY].
10 तब त्यसका प्रेमीहरूकै सामु म त्यसलाई नाङ्गो बनाउनेछु, र मेरो हातबाट त्यसलाई कसैले बचाउनेछैन ।
I will show those false gods/idols that what my people are doing is disgusting [MET], and no one will be able to hinder me from [punishing them].
11 त्यसका सबै उत्सवहरू, त्यसका भोजहरू, त्यसका औँसीका उत्सवहरू, त्यसका शबाथहरू, र त्यसका निर्धारित सबै चाडलाई म अन्त गरिदिनेछु ।
I will cause their religious celebrations to cease, the festivals that they celebrate every year and at every new moon and on their (Sabbath days/weekly days of rest). I will cause all their religious celebrations to cease.
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 ।
I will destroy [all] their grapevines and fig trees, which they said were what their [idols/gods] who loved them paid them for worshiping those idols. I will cause those places to become a desert, and wild animals will eat the fruit [that remains].
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 ।”
I will punish my people for [all] the times that they burned incense to [honor] the idols of Baal. They decorated themselves with rings and jewelry, and they went to worship those [false gods/idols] that [they thought] [IRO] loved them, but they abandoned/forgot me! [That is what I], Yahweh, say.
14 यसैले म त्यसलाई फकाउन जानेछु । म त्यसलाई उजाड-स्थानमा ल्याउनेछु र त्योसँग कोमल भएर बोल्नेछु ।
But listen! [Some day] I will persuade my people [to worship me again]; I will lead them [out] into the desert and speak kindly to them [there].
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 ।
I will give their vineyards [back] to them, and I will cause Achor Valley, [which means ‘valley of trouble'], to become a valley where they will confidently expect [me to do good things for them]. They will (respond to/want to please) me there like they did long ago, when I freed them from [being slaves in] Egypt.
16 “यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, त्यो दिन यस्तो हुनेछ, तैंले मलाई ‘मेरो पति’ भन्नेछस्, अनि फेरि मलाई ‘मेरो बाल’ भन्नेछैनस् ।
At that time, they will say to me, ‘[It is as though] [MET] you are our husband.’ They will not say that I am their [master, like they considered that] Baal [was].
17 किनकि म त्यसको मुखबाट बालको नाउँ हटाइदिनेछु, र तिनका नाउँ फेरि कहिल्यै सम्झना हुनेछैन ।”
I will not allow them to speak [MTY] the names of Baal; they will never use those names again.
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 ।
At that time [it will be as though] I will make an agreement with [all] the wild animals and birds, and [even with] the little animals that scurry across the ground, so that they will never harm my people [again]. And I will remove from their nation all the weapons [for fighting] battles, [like] swords and bows [and arrows]. The result will be that my people will live peacefully and safely, and will not be afraid.
19 सदासर्वदाको निम्ति तेरो पति हुने प्रतिज्ञा म गर्नेछु । धार्मिकता, न्याय, करारको विश्वस्तता र कृपामा तेरो पति हुने प्रतिज्ञा म गर्नेछु ।
I will cause them to be [as though they are] [MET] my bride forever. I will be righteous and fair/just; I will faithfully love them and be kind to them.
20 विश्वस्ततामा प्रतिज्ञा गरेर म आफैंलाई तँकहाँ सुम्पनेछु, र तैंले परमप्रभुलाई चिन्नेछस् ।
I will not abandon them, and they will realize [that I] Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do.]
21 त्यो दिनमा जवाफ दिनेछु, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, म आकाशमण्डललाई जवाफ दिनेछु, र तिनले पृथ्वीलाई जवाफ दिनेछन् ।
At that time, [when they request me to do things for them], [I will do those things]. When they request clouds and rain to fall on their land, I will speak to the clouds, and rain will fall on the earth,
22 पृथ्वीले अन्न, नयाँ दाखमद्य र तेललाई जवाफ दिनेछ र तिनले यिजरेललाई जवाफ दिनेछन् ।
and grain will grow, and the vineyards and the olive trees will grow in Jezreel [Valley].
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 ।’”
[At that time], I will take care of the Israeli people [like a farmer plants and takes care of his crops] [MET]. I will love those people that I previously said were ones I did not love, and I previously said, ‘You are not my people,’ and [then] they will say to me, ‘You are our God.’”
