होशे 6
1 “आओ, हामी परमप्रभुतर्फ फर्कौं । किनकि उहाँले हामीलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नुभएको छ, तर उहाँले हामीलाई निको पार्नुहुनेछ । उहाँले हामीलाई घाइते बनाउनुभएको छ, तर उहाँले हाम्रो घाउमा पट्टी लगाउनुहुनेछ ।
“Come, and let us return unto the Lord; for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind up our wounds.
2 दुई दिनपछि उहाँले हामीलाई पुनर्जीवित पार्नुहुनेछ । तेस्रो दिनमा उहाँले हामीलाई उठाउनुहुनेछ, र हामीहरू उहाँको सामु जिउनेछौं ।
He will revive us after two days: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his presence.
3 हामी परमप्रभुलाई चिनौं । परमप्रभुलाई चिन्नुपर्ने दवावमा हामी परौं । झिसमिसे बिहानीझैं उहाँको आगमन निश्चित छ । उहाँ हामीकहाँ झरीझैं, जमिनलाई भिजाउने बसन्त ऋतुको झरीझैं आउनुहुनेछ ।”
And let us feel it, that we may strive to know the Lord; bright as the morning-dawn is his rising; and he will come as the rain unto us, as the latter rain that maketh fruitful the earth.”
4 ए एफ्राइम, म तँलाई के गरूँ? ए यहूदा, म तँलाई के गरूँ? तेरो विश्वस्तता बिहानीको बादलझैं, चाँडै हराएर जाने शीतझैं छ ।
What shall I do unto thee, O Ephraim? what shall I do unto thee, O Judah? for your piety is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away.
5 यसैले तिनीहरूलाई मैले अगमवक्ताहरूद्वारा टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारेको छु, तिनीहरूलाई मैले आफ्नो मुखको वचनले मारेको छु । तिमीहरूका आदेशहरू चम्किने बिजुलीझैं छन् ।
Therefore did I hew [them] down by means of the prophets; I slew them by the words of my mouth: and thy punishments go forth like the light.
6 किनकि म बलिदान होइन, विश्वस्तता चाहन्छु, र होमबलिहरूभन्दा धैरे परमेश्वरको ज्ञान भएको चाहन्छु ।
For piety I desired, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God, more than burnt-offerings.
7 आदमले झैं तिनीहरूले करार तोडेका छन्, तिनीहरू मप्रति विश्वासहीन भएका छन् ।
But they, like an ordinary man, have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
8 गिलादचाहिं दुष्ट काम गर्नेहरूको सहर हो, जसका पाइलाहरूमा रगत छ ।
Gil'ad is become a city of workers of wickedness, is full of traces of blood.
9 डाँकुहरूका समुहले कसैलाई पर्खिरहेझैं, शकेम जाने बाटोमा पुजारीहरू मार्नलाई समुहमा बस्छन् । तिनीहरूले लज्जास्पद अपराधहरू गरेका छन् ।
And as troops that lie in wait for a man, so is the band of priests, they murder on the way in unison; for they commit scandalous deeds.
10 इस्राएलको घरानामा मैले घिनलाग्दो कुरा देखेको छु । त्यहाँ एफ्राइमको वेश्यागमन छ, र इस्राएल अशुद्ध भएको छ ।
On the house of Israel have I seen a horrible thing: there is lewdness in Ephraim, Israel is become defiled.
11 ए यहूदा तेरो निम्ति पनि कटनी तोकिएको छ, जति बेला म आफ्ना मानिसहरूको सुदिन पुनर्स्थापना गर्नेछु ।
Also for thee, O Judah, will a harvest be prepared, when I bring back the captivity of my people.
