होशे 8
1 “तुरही फुक्न तयार होओ! परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमाथि एउटा गरुड आउँदैछ, किनभने मानिसहरूले मेरो करार भङ्ग गरेका छन्, र मेरो व्यवस्थाको विरुद्ध बागी भएका छन् ।
[Yahweh said to me], “Blow [MTY] your trumpet [to warn the people]! My people have rejected the agreement that I made with them, and they have rebelled against [obeying] my laws. Therefore, [their enemies] are swooping down on my people’s country like [SIM] an eagle.
2 तिनीहरू मलाई पुकारा गर्छन्, ‘हे मेरा परमेश्वर, इस्राएलीमा हामी तपाईंलाई चिन्दछौं ।’
My Israeli people cry out to me, ‘Our God, we know that you are our God!’
3 तर इस्राएलले जे असल छ त्यो इन्कार गरेको छ, र सत्रुले त्यसलाई खेद्नेछ ।
But because the Israeli people have rejected what is good, their enemies will pursue them.
4 मैले नचुनेका राजाहरूलाई, तिनीहरूले स्थापित गरेका छन् । तिनीहरूले मलाई नसोधी राजकुमारहरू नियुक्त गरेका छन् । आफ्ना चाँदी र सुनले, आफ्नै निम्ति तिनीहरूले मूर्तिहरू बनाएका छन्, तर तिनीहरूको विनाश हुनलाई नै यसो भयो ।”
The Israel people appointed [their last three] kings, but they did not ask me if I agreed to [what they were doing]. They chose their own leaders without asking if I would approve of them. They used their own silver and gold to make for themselves idols, and doing that led them to be destroyed.
5 “ए समारिया, तेरो बाछो तिरस्कृत भएको छ । यी मानिसहरूका विरूद्धमा मेरो क्रोध जल्दैछ । किनकि कहिलेसम्म तिनीहरू दोषी रहनेछन्?
You people of Samaria, throw away your [idol that resembles a] calf! I am extremely angry with you people! How long [RHQ] will you [do things that cause] you to be unacceptable to me?
6 किनकि यो मूर्ति इस्राएलबाट आएको हो । एउटा कारिगरले त्यो बनायो । त्यो परमेश्वर होइन! सामरियाको बाछोलाइ टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिनेछ ।
[Someone in] Israel made that idol for you; [but I am] God and it is not. So that idol of a calf in Samaria must be smashed to pieces.
7 किनकि मानिसहरूले बतास छर्छन्, र आँधिको कटनी गर्छन् । खडा बालीमा बालाहरू छैनन्, र त्यसले केही फसल दिंदैन । त्यसमा फसल लाग्यो भने, परदेशीहरूले त्यो सखाप पार्नेछन् ।
[The foolish thing that the people of Israel have done is like] [MET] trying to plant wind; but what they harvest will be like [MET] a whirlwind. So the grain that they planted will have no heads [on the stalks], and as a result [there will be no grain] from which to make flour. And if it did produce good grain, foreigners would [come and] steal it.
8 इस्राएल निलिएको छ । अब जातिहरूमा बिचमा ती काम नलाग्ने वस्तुझैं रहन्छन् ।
[The people of] Israel will be defeated [MET] [by their enemies]; they will be [scattered] among other nations and become worthless.
9 किनकि वन-गधा एक्लै गएझैं, तिनीहरू अश्शूरसम्म गए । एफ्राइमले आफ्नै निम्ति प्रेमीहरू नियुक्त गरेको छ ।
Like [MET] donkeys that are looking for mates, they have requested [help] from Assyria; they paid money to [the leaders of Assyria] in order to [persuade those leaders to] protect them.
10 तिनीहरूले जातिहरूका बिचमा प्रेमीहरू नियुक्त गरे तापनि, अब तिनीहरूलाई म एकसाथ भेला गराउनेछु । राजकुमारहरूका राजाको दमनको कारणले, तिनीहरू दुःखी हुन लाग्नेछन् ।
But although they have agreed to pay money each year to [the leaders of] those countries, I will soon gather them together [to punish them]. The great King [of Assyria] will cause them to suffer greatly.
11 किनकि पापबलिहरूका निम्ति एफ्राइमले वेदीहरूको सङ्ख्या बढाएका छन्, तर झन् पाप गर्ने वेदीहरू ती भएका छन् ।
Although [the people of] Israel built many altars to present offerings [to their idols] to take away [their guilt for] sinning, those altars have become places where they commit [more] sins.
12 तिनीहरूका निम्ति मैले आफ्नो व्यवस्थालाई दस हजारपल्ट लेखे पनि, तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई कुनै नयाँ कुराजस्तो गरी हेर्छन् ।
I wrote many laws for them, but they disregarded them, saying that [they did not have to obey them because] they were different from laws that they had known previously.
13 मेरा भेटीहरूका बलिदानको बारेमा, तिनीहरूले मासु चढाउँछन् र त्यो खान्छन्, तर म, परमप्रभुले त्यो ग्रहण गर्दिनँ । अब म तिनीहरूका अधर्मका बारेमा विचार गर्नेछु, र तिनीहरूका पापलाई दण्ड दिनेछु । तिनीहरू मिश्रदेशमा फर्कनेछन् ।
They offer sacrifices to me, and they eat [some of] the meat of those sacrifices, [which is what I permitted them to do]. But I, Yahweh, am not pleased with those sacrifices. I remember the evil things that they have done, and I will punish them for the sins that they have committed: I will force them to [go to other countries] [and become slaves like they were] [MET] in Egypt.
14 इस्राएलले आफ्ना सृष्टिकर्ता, मलाई बिर्सेको छ, र दरबारहरू बनाएका छ । यहूदाले धेरै सहरहरूलाई किल्लाबन्दी गरेको छ, तर त्यसका सहरहरूमा म आगो पठाउनेछु, र त्यसले उसका किल्लाहरू भष्म पार्नेछ ।
[The people of] Israel have abandoned/forgotten me, the one who created their [nation]; they have built palaces, and [the people of] Judah have built walls around many towns. But I will send a fire that will destroy all their cities and their fortresses.”
