होशे 7
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 ।
Should I desire to heal Israel, then would the iniquity of Ephraim and the wickedness of Samaria be laid open; for they commit falsehood; and the thief entereth [secretly], and the troop of robbers is spread abroad 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 they never think in their own heart that I remember all their wickedness: though now their own doings are all round about them; before my face are they present.
3 तिनीहरूले आफ्ना दुष्टताले राजालाई, र आफ्ना झुटले अधिकारीहरूलाई खुशी बनाउँछन् ।
With their wickedness they make the king glad, and with their lies the princes.
4 रोटी बनाउनेले तताएको तावाजस्तै, जसले पिठो मुछेर नफुलेसम्म आगो बाल्दैन, तिनीहरू सबै व्यभिचारीहरू हुन् ।
They are all adulterers, as an oven well heated by the baker: [when] he that stirreth [the fire] resteth awhile from kneading 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's [entering on his rule] the princes are made sick with the fumes of wine: [the king] joineth 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 make ready their heart for their tricky deeds, like the oven, the baker whereof sleepeth all the night, while in the morning it gloweth 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, they 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 mixeth himself indeed among the nations: Ephraim is 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 devour his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are sprinkled about on his [head], yet he knoweth 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 humbled was the pride of Israel before his own face; but they did not return to the Lord their God, and sought him not, notwithstanding 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: Egypt did they call hither, to Assyria did they go.
12 जब तिनीहरू जान्छन्, तब तिनीहरूमाथि म आफ्नो जाल फैलाउनेछु, आकाशका चराहरूझैं तिनीहरूलाई म तल खसाल्नेछु । तिनीहरू एकसाथ जम्मा हुँदा म तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनेछु ।
As they go, so will I spread out my net over them; as the fowls of the heaven will I bring them down: I will chastise them, as it hath been announced to their congregation.
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 fled from me; destruction shall come unto them, because they have transgressed against me: though I desired to redeem them, they yet spoke 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 cried not unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: for corn and new wine they assemble themselves, and they rebel against me.
15 मैले तिनीहरूलाई तालिम दिएँ र तिनीहरूका पाखुराहरूलाई सशक्त बनाएँ, तापनि अहिले तिनीहरू मेरो विरुद्धमा नै खराब षड्यन्त्र रच्छन् ।
And I desired to instruct and to strengthen their arms; yet would 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 never return upward: they are like a deceitful bow: by the sword shall their princes fall because of the rage of their tongue; this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
