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 give healing to Israel, Then revealed is the iniquity of Ephraim, And the wickedness of Samaria, For they have wrought falsehood, And a thief doth come in, Stript off hath a troop in the street,
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 do not say to their heart, [That] all their evil I have remembered, Now compassed them have their doings, Over-against My face they have been.
3 तिनीहरूले आफ्ना दुष्टताले राजालाई, र आफ्ना झुटले अधिकारीहरूलाई खुशी बनाउँछन् ।
With their wickedness they make glad a king, And with their lies — princes.
4 रोटी बनाउनेले तताएको तावाजस्तै, जसले पिठो मुछेर नफुलेसम्म आगो बाल्दैन, तिनीहरू सबै व्यभिचारीहरू हुन् ।
All of them [are] adulterers, Like a burning oven of a baker, He ceaseth from stirring up after kneading the dough, till its leavening.
5 हाम्रा राजाको दिनमा अधिकारीहरूले आफैंलाई दाखमद्यको मातले बिरामी पार्छन् । ठट्टा गर्नेहरूसँग उसले आफ्नो हात मिलायो ।
A day of our king! Princes have polluted themselves [with] the poison of wine, He hath drawn 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 drawn near, As an oven [is] their heart, In their lying in wait all the night sleep doth their baker, Morning! he is burning 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 ।
All of them are warm as an oven, And they have devoured their judges, All their kings have fallen, There is none calling unto Me among them.
8 एफ्राइमले आफैंलाई अरू मानिसहरूसँग मिसाएको छ । नफर्काइएको रोटीजस्तै एफ्राइम छ ।
Ephraim! among peoples he mixeth himself, Ephraim hath been a cake unturned.
9 परदेशीहरूले उसको शक्तिलाई नष्ट गरेको छ, तर उसलाई त्यो थाहा नै छैन । उसमा यताउता केश फुलेका छन्, तर उसलाई त्यो थाहा छैन ।
Devoured have strangers his power, And he hath not known, Also old age hath sprinkled [itself] on him, And he hath not known.
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 hath been the excellency of Israel to his face, And they have not turned back unto Jehovah their God, Nor have they sought Him for all this.
11 एफ्राइमचाहिं सजिलै छकाउन सकिने र विवेकहीन ढुकुरजस्तो छ, मिश्रदेशलाई पुकारा गर्दैछ, त्यसपछि अश्शूरतिर उड्दैछ ।
And Ephraim is as a simple dove without heart, Egypt they called on — [to] Asshur they have gone.
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 spread over them My net, As the fowl of the heavens I bring them down, I chastise them as their company hath heard.
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 wandered from Me, Destruction to them, for they transgressed against Me, And I — I ransom them, and 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 have not cried unto Me with their heart, but howl on their beds, For corn and new wine they assemble themselves, They turn aside against Me.
15 मैले तिनीहरूलाई तालिम दिएँ र तिनीहरूका पाखुराहरूलाई सशक्त बनाएँ, तापनि अहिले तिनीहरू मेरो विरुद्धमा नै खराब षड्यन्त्र रच्छन् ।
And I instructed — I strengthened their arms, And concerning Me they think evil!
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 turn back — not to the Most High, They have been as a deceitful bow, Fall by sword do their princes, From the insolence of their tongue, This [is] their derision in the land of Egypt!
