होशे 4
1 ए इस्राएलका मानिस हो, परमप्रभुको वचन सुन । यस देशका वासिन्दाहरूको विरुद्धमा परमप्रभुको एउटा मुद्धा छ, किनभने देशमा सत्यता, करारको विश्वस्तता, परमप्रभुको ज्ञान छैन ।
Give ear to the word of the Lord, O children of Israel; for the Lord has a cause against the people of this land, because there is no good faith in it, and no mercy and no knowledge of God in the land.
2 त्यहाँ सराप, झुटो बोली, हत्या, चोरी र व्यभिचार छ । मानिसहरूले सबै सीमा तोडेका छन्, र रगत बगेपछि रगत बगेको छ ।
There is cursing and broken faith, violent death and attacks on property, men are untrue in married life, houses are broken into, and there is blood touching blood.
3 यसैले त्यो देश सुख्खा हुँदैछ, र त्यहाँ बसोबास गर्ने सबै खेर जाँदैछन् । मैदानका पशुहरू, आकाशका चराहरू, र समुद्र भएका माछासमेत मारिंदैछन् ।
Because of this the land will be dry, and everyone living in it will be wasted away, with the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven; even the fishes of the sea will be taken away.
4 तर कसैलाई मुद्धा ल्याउन नदेओ । कसैले कसैलाई पनि दोष नलगाओस् । किनकि मैले दोष लगाइरहेको तिमी, पुजारीहरूलाई नै हो ।
Let no man go to law or make protests, for your people are like those who go to law with a priest.
5 तिमी पुजारीहरू दिनमा ठेस खानेछौ । तिमीहरूसँगै अगमवक्ताहरू पनि रातमा ठेस खानेछन्, र तिमीहरूकी आमालाई म नष्ट गर्नेछु ।
You will not be able to keep on your feet by day, and by night the prophet will be falling down with you, and I will give your mother to destruction.
6 मेरा मानिसहरू ज्ञानको कमिले गर्दा नष्ट भइरहेका छन् । तिमी पुजारीहरूले ज्ञानलाई इन्कार गरेको कारणले, तिमीहरूलाई मेरो पुजारी हुनबाट म पनि इन्कार गर्नेछु ।तिमीहरूले मेरो व्यवस्थालाई बिर्सेका कारणले, म तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर भए पनि म तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीलाई बिर्सनेछु ।
Destruction has overtaken my people because they have no knowledge; because you have given up knowledge, I will give you up, so that you will be no priest to me, because you have not kept in mind the law of your God, I will not keep your children in my memory.
7 पुजारीहरूका सङ्ख्या जति धैरै वृद्धि भयो, त्यति नै धेरै तिनीहरूले मेरो विरूद्धमा पाप गरे । आफ्नो आदरलाई तिनीहरूले लाजसँग साटे ।
Even while they were increasing in number they were sinning against me; I will let their glory be changed into shame.
8 मेरा मानिसहरूको पापमा तिनीहरू पोसिन्छन्, र उनीहरूले धेरै दुष्टता गरून् भन्ने तिनीहरूको इच्छा हुन्छ ।
The sin of my people is like food to them; and their desire is for their wrongdoing.
9 पुजारीहरूलाई जस्तो गरियो मानिसहरूलाई त्यस्तै गरिनेछः तिनीहरूका अभ्यासहरूका निम्ति म तिनीहरू सबैलाई दण्ड दिनेछु, तिनीहरूका कामहरूको बदला म तिनीहरूलाई दिनेछु ।
And the priest will be like the people; I will give them punishment for their evil ways, and the reward of their acts.
10 तिनीहरूले खानेछन् तर तिनीहरूसँग येथेष्ट हुनेछैन, तिनीहरूले वेश्यागमन गर्नेछन् तर वृद्धि हुनेछैन, किनभने तिनीहरू परमप्रभुबाट धेरै टाढा गएका छन् ।
They will have food, but they will not be full; they will be false to me, but they will not be increased, because they no longer give thought to the Lord.
11 तिनीहरूलाई यौनको छाडापन, दाखमद्य र नयाँ मद्य मन पर्छ, जसले तिनीहरूका समझलाई नाश पारेका छन् ।
Loose ways and new wine take away wisdom.
12 मेरा मानिसहरूले काठका मूर्तिहरूसँग सल्लाह लिन्छन्, र तिनीहरूका लौरोले तिनीहरूलाई अगमवाणीहरू दिन्छन् । किनभने यौनको छाडापनको विचारले तिनीहरूलाई भ्रममा पारेको छ, र आफ्ना परमेश्वरमा विश्वसयोग्य हुन छोडेर वेश्याहरूले जस्तो व्यवहार तिनीहरूले गरेका छन् ।
My people get knowledge from their tree, and their rod gives them news; for a false spirit is the cause of their wandering, and they have been false to their God.
13 पर्वतका टाकुराहरूमा तिनीहरूले बलि चढाउँछन् र पहाडहरूमा, फलाँट, लहरे-पीपल र तारपीनका फेदमा धूप बाल्छन्, किनभने छाया शितल हुन्छ । यसैले तिमीहरूका छोरीहरूले यौनका अनैतिक काम गर्छन्, अनि तिमीहरूका बुहारीहरूले व्यभिचार गर्छन् ।
They make offerings on the tops of mountains, burning perfumes in high places, under trees of every sort, because their shade is good: and so your daughters are given up to loose ways and your brides are false to their husbands.
14 तिमीहरूका छोरीहरूले यौनका अनैतिक काम गर्दा म तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनेछैन, न त तिमीहरूका बुहारीहरूले व्यभिचार गर्दा तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनेछु । किनकि पुरुषहरूले पनि आफैंलाई वेश्याहरूकहाँ दिन्छन्, र पवित्र वेश्याहरूसँग तिनीहरूले अनैतिक काम गर्न सकून् भनेर तिनीहरू बलिदानहरू चढाउँछन् । यी मानिसहरू जसले बुझ्दैनन्, तिनीहरू तल फालिनेछन् ।
I will not give punishment to your daughters or your brides for their evil behaviour; for they make themselves separate with loose women, and make offerings with those who are used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods: the people who have no wisdom will be sent away.
15 तँ इस्राएलले व्यभिचार गरेको भए पनि, यहूदाचाहिं दोषी नहोस् । ए मानिस हो, तिमीहरू गिलगालमा नजाओ माथि बेथ-आवनमा नजाओ, र “परमप्रभु जिउँदो हुनुभएझैं” भनेर शपथ नखाओ ।
Do not you, O Israel, come into error; do not you, O Judah, come to Gilgal, or go up to Beth-aven, or take an oath, By the living Lord.
16 किनकि एउटी अटेरी साँडी-गाईले झैं इस्राएलले अटेरी भएर व्यवहार गरेको छ । भेडाहरूलाई घाँसे-मैदानमा लगेझैं परमप्रभुले कसरी तिनीहरूलाई खर्कमा लान सक्नुहुन्छ?
For Israel is uncontrolled, like a cow which may not be controlled; now will the Lord give them food like a lamb in a wide place.
17 एफ्राइमले आफूलाई मूर्तिहरूसँग मिलाएको छ । त्यसलाई वास्तै नगर ।
Ephraim is joined to false gods; let him be.
18 तिनीहरूका कडा दाखमद्यले छोड्दा पनि, तिनीहरू निरन्तर व्यभिचारमा गर्छन् । र त्यसको शासकहरूले आफ्नो लज्जास्पद कुरालाई ज्यादै मन पराउँछन् ।
Their drink has become bitter; they are completely false; her rulers take pleasure in shame.
19 हावाले त्यसलाई आफ्ना पखेटामा बेर्नेछ, र आफ्ना बलिदानहरूका कारणले तिनीहरू शर्ममा पर्नेछन् ।
They are folded in the skirts of the wind; they will be shamed because of their offerings.
