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 ।

“Hear a word of YHWH, sons of Israel, For a strife [is] to YHWH with inhabitants of the land, For there is no truth, nor kindness, Nor 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 ।

Swearing, and lying, and murdering, And stealing, and committing adultery—have increased, And blood has touched against blood.

3 यसैले त्यो देश सुख्‍खा हुँदैछ, र त्यहाँ बसोबास गर्ने सबै खेर जाँदैछन् । मैदानका पशुहरू, आकाशका चराहरू, र समुद्र भएका माछासमेत मारिंदैछन् ।

Therefore the land mourns, And every dweller is weak in it, With the beast of the field, And with the bird of the heavens, And the fishes of the sea—they are removed.

4 तर कसैलाई मुद्धा ल्‍याउन नदेओ । कसैले कसैलाई पनि दोष नलगाओस् । किनकि मैले दोष लगाइरहेको तिमी, पुजारीहरूलाई नै हो ।

Only, let no one strive, nor reprove a man, And your people [are] as those striving with a priest.

5 तिमी पुजारीहरू दिनमा ठेस खानेछौ । तिमीहरूसँगै अगमवक्ताहरू पनि रातमा ठेस खानेछन्, र तिमीहरूकी आमालाई म नष्‍ट गर्नेछु ।

And you have stumbled in the day, And a prophet has also stumbled with you in the night, And I have cut off your mother.

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 ।

My people have been cut off for lack of knowledge, Because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being priest to Me, And you forget the Law of your God—I forget your sons, I also!

7 पुजारीहरूका सङ्ख्या जति धैरै वृद्धि भयो, त्‍यति नै धेरै तिनीहरूले मेरो विरूद्धमा पाप गरे । आफ्नो आदरलाई तिनीहरूले लाजसँग साटे ।

According to their abundance so they sinned against Me, I change their glory into shame.

8 मेरा मानिसहरूको पापमा तिनीहरू पोसिन्‍छन्, र उनीहरूले धेरै दुष्‍टता गरून् भन्‍ने तिनीहरूको इच्‍छा हुन्‍छ ।

The sin of My people they eat, And to their iniquity lift up their soul.

9 पुजारीहरूलाई जस्‍तो गरियो मानिसहरूलाई त्‍यस्‍तै गरिनेछः तिनीहरूका अभ्‍यासहरूका निम्‍ति म तिनीहरू सबैलाई दण्ड दिनेछु, तिनीहरूका कामहरूको बदला म तिनीहरूलाई दिनेछु ।

And it has been, like people, like priest, And I have charged on it its ways, And its habitual doings I return to it.

10 तिनीहरूले खानेछन् तर तिनीहरूसँग येथेष्‍ट हुनेछैन, तिनीहरूले वेश्‍यागमन गर्नेछन् तर वृद्धि हुनेछैन, किनभने तिनीहरू परमप्रभुबाट धेरै टाढा गएका छन् ।

And they have eaten, and are not satisfied, They have gone whoring, and do not increase, For they have left off taking heed to YHWH.

11 तिनीहरूलाई यौनको छाडापन, दाखमद्य र नयाँ मद्य मन पर्छ, जसले तिनीहरूका समझलाई नाश पारेका छन् ।

Whoredom, and wine, and new wine, take the heart,

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 at its staff asks and its rod declares to it, For a spirit of whoredoms has caused to err, And they go whoring from under 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 ।

On tops of the mountains they sacrifice, And on the hills they make incense, Under oak, and poplar, and terebinth, For good [is] its shade.

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 ।

Therefore your daughters commit whoredom, And your spouses commit adultery, I do not see after your daughters when they commit whoredom, And after your spouses when they commit adultery, For they with the harlots are separated, And with the whores they sacrifice, A people that does not understand kicks.

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 ।

Though you [are] a harlot, O Israel, Do not let Judah become guilty, And do not come to Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-Aven, Nor swear, YHWH lives.

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 has turned aside as a stubborn heifer, Now YHWH feeds them as a lamb in a large place.

17 एफ्राइमले आफूलाई मूर्तिहरूसँग मिलाएको छ । त्यसलाई वास्‍तै नगर ।

Ephraim is joined to idols, leave him alone.

18 तिनीहरूका कडा दाखमद्यले छोड्दा पनि, तिनीहरू निरन्‍तर व्यभिचारमा गर्छन् । र त्यसको शासकहरूले आफ्‍नो लज्‍जास्‍पद कुरालाई ज्यादै मन पराउँछन् ।

Sour [is] their drink, They have gone whoring diligently, Her protectors have thoroughly loved shame.

19 हावाले त्यसलाई आफ्ना पखेटामा बेर्नेछ, र आफ्ना बलिदानहरूका कारणले तिनीहरू शर्ममा पर्नेछन् ।

Wind has distressed her with its wings, And they are ashamed of their sacrifices!”
