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 the word of Yahweh, you people of Israel. Yahweh has a lawsuit against the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truthfulness or covenantal faithfulness, 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, lying, killing, stealing and adultery. The people have broken all bounds, and bloodshed comes after bloodshed.
3 यसैले त्यो देश सुख्खा हुँदैछ, र त्यहाँ बसोबास गर्ने सबै खेर जाँदैछन् । मैदानका पशुहरू, आकाशका चराहरू, र समुद्र भएका माछासमेत मारिंदैछन् ।
So the land is drying up, and everyone living in it is wasting away; the beasts in the fields and the birds in the sky, even the fish in the sea, are being taken away.
4 तर कसैलाई मुद्धा ल्याउन नदेओ । कसैले कसैलाई पनि दोष नलगाओस् । किनकि मैले दोष लगाइरहेको तिमी, पुजारीहरूलाई नै हो ।
But do not allow anyone to bring a lawsuit; do not let anyone accuse anyone else. For it is you, the priests, whom I am accusing.
5 तिमी पुजारीहरू दिनमा ठेस खानेछौ । तिमीहरूसँगै अगमवक्ताहरू पनि रातमा ठेस खानेछन्, र तिमीहरूकी आमालाई म नष्ट गर्नेछु ।
You priests will stumble during the day; the prophets will also stumble with you by night, and I will destroy 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 are being destroyed because of the lack of knowledge. Because you priests have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you as priests to me. Because you have forgotten my law, although I am your God, I also will forget your children.
7 पुजारीहरूका सङ्ख्या जति धैरै वृद्धि भयो, त्यति नै धेरै तिनीहरूले मेरो विरूद्धमा पाप गरे । आफ्नो आदरलाई तिनीहरूले लाजसँग साटे ।
The more the priests multiplied, the more they sinned against me. They exchanged their honor for shame.
8 मेरा मानिसहरूको पापमा तिनीहरू पोसिन्छन्, र उनीहरूले धेरै दुष्टता गरून् भन्ने तिनीहरूको इच्छा हुन्छ ।
They feed on the sin of my people; they are greedy for more of their wickedness.
9 पुजारीहरूलाई जस्तो गरियो मानिसहरूलाई त्यस्तै गरिनेछः तिनीहरूका अभ्यासहरूका निम्ति म तिनीहरू सबैलाई दण्ड दिनेछु, तिनीहरूका कामहरूको बदला म तिनीहरूलाई दिनेछु ।
It will be the same for the people as for the priests: I will punish them all for their practices; I will repay them for their deeds.
10 तिनीहरूले खानेछन् तर तिनीहरूसँग येथेष्ट हुनेछैन, तिनीहरूले वेश्यागमन गर्नेछन् तर वृद्धि हुनेछैन, किनभने तिनीहरू परमप्रभुबाट धेरै टाढा गएका छन् ।
They will eat but not have enough; they will commit prostitution but not increase, because they have gone far away from Yahweh.
11 तिनीहरूलाई यौनको छाडापन, दाखमद्य र नयाँ मद्य मन पर्छ, जसले तिनीहरूका समझलाई नाश पारेका छन् ।
They love sexual promiscuity, wine, and new wine, which have taken away their understanding.
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 consult their wooden idols, and their walking sticks give them prophecies. For a mind of promiscuity has misled them, and they have acted as prostitutes instead of being faithful 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 sacrifice on the tops of the mountains and burn incense on the hills, under oaks, poplars and terebinths, because the shade is good. So your daughters commit sexual immorality, and your daughters-in-law commit adultery.
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 punish your daughters when they choose to commit sexual immorality, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery. For the men also give themselves to the prostitutes, and they offer sacrifices so they can commit immoral acts with sacred prostitutes. So this people who does not understand will be thrown down.
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, Israel, have committed adultery, may Judah not become guilty. Do not go to Gilgal, you people; do not go up to Beth Aven, and do not swear, saying, “As Yahweh 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 behaved stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer. How can Yahweh bring them to pasture like lambs in a meadow?
17 एफ्राइमले आफूलाई मूर्तिहरूसँग मिलाएको छ । त्यसलाई वास्तै नगर ।
Ephraim united himself with idols; leave him alone.
18 तिनीहरूका कडा दाखमद्यले छोड्दा पनि, तिनीहरू निरन्तर व्यभिचारमा गर्छन् । र त्यसको शासकहरूले आफ्नो लज्जास्पद कुरालाई ज्यादै मन पराउँछन् ।
Even when their strong drink is gone, they continue to commit adultery; her rulers dearly love their shame.
19 हावाले त्यसलाई आफ्ना पखेटामा बेर्नेछ, र आफ्ना बलिदानहरूका कारणले तिनीहरू शर्ममा पर्नेछन् ।
The wind will wrap her up in its wings; and they will be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
