1 मैले इस्राएललाई निको पार्ने इच्‍छा गर्दा, एफ्राइमको पाप र सामरियाका दुष्‍ट कामहरू प्रकट हुन्छन्, किनकि तिनीहरू धोकापूर्ण काम गर्छन् । एक जना चोर भित्र प्रवेश गर्छ, र डाँकूहरूको समुहले सडकमा आक्रमण गर्छ ।
when I would heal Israel, then is the iniquity of Ephraim uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria, for they commit falsehood; and the thief entereth in, and the troop of robbers maketh a raid without.
2 तिनीहरूका सबै दुष्‍ट कामलाई मैले याद गर्छु, भनी तिनीहरूले आफ्नो हृदयहरूमा महसुस नै गर्दैनन् । अब तिनीहरूका कामहरूले तिनीहरूलाई नै घेर्छन् । ती मेरो अनुहारको सामु छन् ।
And let them not say to their heart — I remember all their wickedness; now their own doings have beset them about, they are before My face.
3 तिनीहरूले आफ्ना दुष्‍टताले राजालाई, र आफ्ना झुटले अधिकारीहरूलाई खुशी बनाउँछन् ।
They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
4 रोटी बनाउनेले तताएको तावाजस्‍तै, जसले पिठो मुछेर नफुलेसम्म आगो बाल्‍दैन, तिनीहरू सबै व्यभिचारीहरू हुन् ।
They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth to stir from the kneading of the dough until it be leavened.
5 हाम्रा राजाको दिनमा अधिकारीहरूले आफैंलाई दाखमद्यको मातले बिरामी पार्छन् । ठट्टा गर्नेहरूसँग उसले आफ्नो हात मिलायो ।
On the day of our king the princes make him sick with the heat of wine, he stretcheth out his hand with scorners.
6 किनकि एउटा तावाजस्‍तो हृदयहरूले, तिनीहरू आफ्ना छलपूर्ण योजना बनाउँछन् । तिनीहरूको रिस रातभरि दन्किन्छ । बिहान त्यो ज्वालामय आगोझैं बल्दछ ।
For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait; their baker sleepeth all the night, in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
7 तिनीहरू सबै तावाजस्‍तै तातो छन्, र आफूमाथि शासन गर्नेलाई तिनीहरू भस्म पार्छन् । तिनीहरूका सबै राजा पतित भएका छन् । तीमध्‍ये कसैले मलाई पुकारा गर्दैनन् ।
They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all their kings are fallen, there is none among them that calleth unto Me.
8 एफ्राइमले आफैंलाई अरू मानिसहरूसँग मिसाएको छ । नफर्काइएको रोटीजस्‍तै एफ्राइम छ ।
Ephraim, he mixeth himself with the peoples; Ephraim is become a cake not turned.
9 परदेशीहरूले उसको शक्तिलाई नष्‍ट गरेको छ, तर उसलाई त्यो थाहा नै छैन । उसमा यताउता केश फुलेका छन्, तर उसलाई त्यो थाहा छैन ।
Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not; yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, and he knoweth it not.
10 इस्राएलको घमण्डले आफ्‍नै विरुद्ध गवाही दिन्छ, तापनि तिनीहरू परमप्रभु आफ्‍ना परमेश्‍वरतिर फर्केका छैनन्, न त यी सबै कुरापछि पनि तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई खोजेका छन् ।
And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face; but they have not returned unto the LORD their God, nor sought Him, for all this.
11 एफ्राइमचाहिं सजिलै छकाउन सकिने र विवेकहीन ढुकुरजस्‍तो छ, मिश्रदेशलाई पुकारा गर्दैछ, त्‍यसपछि अश्‍शूरतिर उड्दैछ ।
And Ephraim is become like a silly dove, without understanding; they call unto Egypt, they go to Assyria.
12 जब तिनीहरू जान्छन्, तब तिनीहरूमाथि म आफ्‍नो जाल फैलाउनेछु, आकाशका चराहरूझैं तिनीहरूलाई म तल खसाल्‍नेछु । तिनीहरू एकसाथ जम्‍मा हुँदा म तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनेछु ।
Even as they go, I will spread My net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath been made to hear.
13 तिनीहरूलाई धिक्‍कार छ! किनकि तिनीहरू मबाट टाढा बहकिएका छन् । तिनीहरूमाथि विनाश आउँदै छ! तिनीहरूले मेरो विरुद्ध विद्रोह गरेका छन्! मैले तिनीहरूलाई बचाउन सक्‍थें, तर तिनीहरूले मेरो विरुद्धमा झुट बोले ।
Woe unto them! for they have strayed from Me; Destruction unto them! for they have transgressed against Me; Shall I then redeem them, seeing they have spoken lies against Me?
14 आफ्ना सारा हृदयले, तिनीहरूले मसँग पुकारा गरेका छैनन्, तर आफ्ना ओछ्यानमा तिनीहरू विलाप गर्छन् । अन्‍न, र नयाँ दाखमद्यको निम्ति तिनीहरू एकसाथ भेला हुन्छन्, र तिनीहरू मबाट टाढा जान्छन् ।
And they have not cried unto Me with their heart, though they wail upon their beds; they assemble themselves for corn and wine, they rebel against Me.
15 मैले तिनीहरूलाई तालिम दिएँ र तिनीहरूका पाखुराहरूलाई सशक्‍त बनाएँ, तापनि अहिले तिनीहरू मेरो विरुद्धमा नै खराब षड्‌यन्‍त्र रच्‍छन् ।
Though I have trained and strengthened their arms, yet do they devise evil against Me.
16 तिनीहरू फर्कन्छन्, तर म, अर्थात् सर्वोच्‍चतिर भने फर्कंदैनन् । तिनीहरू धोका दिने धनुझैं छन् । आफ्ना जिब्रोको निर्लज्‍जताका कारणले, तिनीहरूका अधिकारीहरू तरवारले मारिनेछन् । मिश्रदेशमा यही तिनीहरूको उपहास हुनेछ ।
They return, but not upwards; they are become like a deceitful bow; their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue; this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
