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 ।
When I was about to deliver my people from captivity, When I would have healed Israel, Then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, And the wickedness of Samaria; For they practise fraud, And the thief entereth in, And the band of robbers spoileth 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 think not in their hearts, That I remember all their wickedness. Now shall their doings encompass them; They are before my face.
3 तिनीहरूले आफ्ना दुष्टताले राजालाई, र आफ्ना झुटले अधिकारीहरूलाई खुशी बनाउँछन् ।
With their wickedness they gladden the king, And with their falsehoods the princes; All of them are adulterers;
4 रोटी बनाउनेले तताएको तावाजस्तै, जसले पिठो मुछेर नफुलेसम्म आगो बाल्दैन, तिनीहरू सबै व्यभिचारीहरू हुन् ।
They are as an oven heated by the baker; He ceaseth to stir the fire, Until the dough which he hath kneaded be leavened.
5 हाम्रा राजाको दिनमा अधिकारीहरूले आफैंलाई दाखमद्यको मातले बिरामी पार्छन् । ठट्टा गर्नेहरूसँग उसले आफ्नो हात मिलायो ।
On the feast-day of our king, the princes are sick with the heat of wine, And he stretcheth out his hand with revilers.
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 like an oven, while they lie in wait; All night the baker sleepeth; In the morning it gloweth like 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 all glow as an oven; They have devoured their judges; All their kings have fallen; And none among them calleth upon me.
8 एफ्राइमले आफैंलाई अरू मानिसहरूसँग मिसाएको छ । नफर्काइएको रोटीजस्तै एफ्राइम छ ।
Ephraim hath mixed himself with 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 have devoured his strength, And he knoweth it not; Yea, gray hairs are sprinkled upon him, Yet 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 ।
The pride of Israel testifieth to his face; Yet do not they return to Jehovah their God, Nor seek him, for all this.
11 एफ्राइमचाहिं सजिलै छकाउन सकिने र विवेकहीन ढुकुरजस्तो छ, मिश्रदेशलाई पुकारा गर्दैछ, त्यसपछि अश्शूरतिर उड्दैछ ।
Ephraim is like a silly dove, without understanding; They call upon 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 ।
When they go, I will spread my net over them; As birds of heaven will I bring them down. I will chastise them, as hath been proclaimed in 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 to them, for they have wandered from me! Destruction upon them, for they have rebelled against me! Though I myself would redeem them, they speak falsely to 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 ।
They cry not to me from their heart, But howl upon their beds; For corn and wine they assemble themselves; They rebel against me.
15 मैले तिनीहरूलाई तालिम दिएँ र तिनीहरूका पाखुराहरूलाई सशक्त बनाएँ, तापनि अहिले तिनीहरू मेरो विरुद्धमा नै खराब षड्यन्त्र रच्छन् ।
I have chastened them; I have also 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 to the Most High; They are like a deceitful bow; Their princes shall fall by the sword for the haughtiness of their tongues; This shall be their reproach in the land of Egypt.
