होशे 9
1 ए इस्राएल, अरू मानिसहरूझैं आनन्दित नहोओ । किनकि आफ्ना परमेश्वरलाई त्यागेर, तिमीहरूले विश्वासहीन भएका छौ । अन्नका सबै खलामा वेश्यालाई तिर्नुपर्ने ज्याला तिर्न तिमीहरू मन पराउँछौ ।
[You people of] Israel, do not shout joyfully [during your festivals] like [people of other] nations do! [I say that] because you have (not been faithful to/abandoned) me, your God. At every place where the people thresh grain you have [presented gifts to your idols like men] pay money to prostitutes.
2 तर अन्नका खला र दाखबारीका कोलले तिनीहरूलाई खुवाउनेछैन, र नयाँ दाखमद्य तिनीहरूका निम्ति पर्याप्त हुनेछैन ।
[But soon] there will not be enough grain [MTY, PRS] and wine [MTY, PRS] for you.
3 तिनीहरू परमप्रभुको देशमा सधैंभरि रहनेछैनन्, बरु, एफ्राइम मिश्रदेशमा फर्कनेछ, र एक दिन तिनीहरूले अश्शूरमा अशुद्ध भोजन खानेछन् ।
And you people will not remain in the land that I, Yahweh, [gave to your ancestors]. You will be [captured and] taken to [Assyria], [where you will become slaves like your ancestors were] in Egypt; and in Assyria you will be forced to eat food that Yahweh has forbidden you to eat.
4 तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई दाखमद्यको भेटी चढाउनेछैनन्, न त तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई प्रसन्न तुल्याउनेछन् । तिनीहरूका बलिदानहरू तिनीहरूका निम्ति शोक गर्नेको भोजनझैं हुनेछ । जतिले त्यो खान्छन् ती सबै अशुद्ध हुनेछन् । किनकि तिनीहरूका भोजन तिनीहरूकै निम्ति मात्र हुनेछ । त्यो परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा आउनेछैन ।
You Israelis will not [be able to] give wine offerings to him, or bring sacrifices to him. None of your other sacrifices will please him; they will be unacceptable to him, like [SIM] food that is touched by people at funerals, and everyone who eats that food will become unacceptable to him. They will be permitted to eat that food themselves, but they will not [be permitted to] bring it into the temple.
5 तोकिएको चाडको दिनमा, परमप्रभुको निम्ति चाडको दिनमा तिमीहरू के गर्नेछौ?
At that time you will not [RHQ] be able to celebrate the feasts and sacred festivals.
6 किनकि, हेर, तिनीहरू विनाशबाट उम्के भने, मिश्रदेशले तिनीहरूलाई एकसाथ भेला गर्नेछ, र मोपका मानिसहरूले तिनीहरूलाई गाड्नेछन् । तिनीहरूका चाँदीका धन काँढाघारीले ढाक्नेछ, र तिनीहरूका पालहरू काँढाका झाँगहरूले भरिनेछ ।
And even if you escape and are not killed [by the Assyrians], you will be captured by [the army of] Egypt, and you will [die and] be buried in Memphis, [the capital of Egypt]. Briers will [grow up and] cover your treasures of silver, and thorns will grow in your [ruined] tents/houses.
7 दण्डका दिनहरू आउँदैछन् । बदलाका दिनहरू आउँदैछन् । सबै इस्राएलीहरूले यी कुरा जानून् । तिमीहरूका घोर अधर्म र वैरभावका कारणले, अगमवक्ता मुर्ख हुन्छ र प्रेरणा पाएको मानिसचाहि बौलाह हुनेछ ।
It is now the time for Yahweh to punish you, to pay you back for all the sins that you have committed. You people will [soon] know that. You have [committed] very many sins, and you very much hate Yahweh. You consider that the prophets are foolish, and you think that those who proclaim messages from him are crazy.
8 अगमवक्ताचाहिं एफ्राइममाथि मेरा परमेश्वरको निम्ति रेखदेख गर्ने व्यक्ति हो । तर त्यसका सबै मार्गहरूमा चराको पासो थापिएको छ, र त्यसको परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा त्योप्रति शत्रुता छ ।
My God appointed [me and the other] prophets to be [like] [MET] watchmen [to warn] you people of Israel, but everywhere that we go, [it is as though] people set traps for us and people are hostile [to us, even] in the temple of our God.
9 गिबाका दिनहरूमा झैं, तिनीहरूले आफैंलाई भित्री रूपमा भ्रष्ट पारेका छन् । तिनीहरूको अधर्म परमेश्वरले सम्झना गर्नुहुनेछ र उहाँले तिनीहरूका पापको दण्ड दिनुहुनेछ ।
The sins that the Israeli people have committed are as awful as [what the men of] Gibeah did long ago; [so] God will not forget the wicked things that they have done; he will punish the Israelis for [all] those sins.
10 परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, “मैले इस्राएललाई भेट्टाउँदा, त्यो उजाड-स्थानमा दाख पाएको जस्तै थियो । नेभाराको बोटमा ऋतुको पहिलो फलझैं, मैले तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई भेट्टाएँ । तर तिनीहरू बाल-पोरमा गए, र तिनीहरूले आफैंलाई त्यस लज्जास्पद मूर्तिकहाँ अर्पण गरे । तिनीहरूले प्रेम गर्ने मूर्तिहरूझैं तिनीहरू पनि घृणित भए ।
[Yahweh says], “When I first started [to do things to help] Israel, it seemed to me as though [SIM] I had found grapes in the desert. Your ancestors were [delightful], like [SIM] the first figs that grow on fig trees [each year]. But when they came to Peor [Mountain], they worshiped that disgusting idol Baal, and they became as disgusting as the idol that they loved.
11 एफ्राइमको बारेमाचाहिं, तिनीहरूको महिमा चराझैं उडिजानेछ । त्यहाँ कुनै जन्म, कुनै गर्ववास, र कुनै गर्भधारण हुनेछैन ।
The things that cause Israel to be great will disappear like [SIM] a bird that flies away; [most of their women will] not become pregnant [DOU] or give birth to children.
12 तिनीहरूले छोराछोरीलाई हुर्काएको भए पनि, एउटै पनि बाँकी नरहने गरी म तिनीहरूलाई लैजानेछु । तिनीहरूबाट म फर्कँदा, तिनीहरूलाई धिक्कार होस् ।
Even if their children are born and start to grow up, I will cause all of them to die [while they are still young]. Terrible things will happen to them when I abandon them!
13 मैले एफ्राइमलाई टुरोसजस्तै सुन्दर मैदानमा रोपिएको देखेको छु, तर एफ्राइमले आफ्ना छोराछोरीलाई त्यसकहाँ लानेछ, जसले तिनीहरूको हत्या गर्नेछ ।”
I have seen Israel become beautiful and prosperous like Tyre [city] was [before it was destroyed], but now the people of Israel will [be forced to] take their children to be slaughtered [by their enemies].”
14 हे परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूलाई दिनुहोस्— तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई के दिनुहुन्छ? तिनीहरूलाई तुहिने गर्भ र दूध नआउने स्तन दिनुहोस् ।
Yahweh, [I do not know] [RHQ] what I should ask for my people. So I ask that you do this one thing: Cause the women who are pregnant to have miscarriages and unable [to nurse their babies].
15 “तिनीहरूले गिलगालमा गरेका सबै दुष्टताका कारणले, तिनीहरूलाई मैले त्यहाँ घृणा गर्न सुरु गरें । तिनीहरूका पापी कामहरूका कारणले, मेरो मन्दिरबाट म तिनीहरूलाई धपाउनेछु । म तिनीहरूलाई फेरि प्रेम गर्नेछैनँ । तिनीहरूका सबै अधिकारीहरू विद्रोहीहरू हुन् ।
[Yahweh says], “Because of all the wicked things that my people did at Gilgal, that is where I started to hate them. [And now], because of [all] the sinful things that they have done, I will expel them from my country. I will not love them any longer; all their leaders rebel [against me].
16 एफ्राइम रोगले ग्रस्त भएको छ, र तिनीहरूको जरा सुकेका छ । तिनीहरूले फल दिंदैनन् । तिनीहरूका छोराछोरी भए पनि, तिनीहरूका अति प्रिय छोराछोरीलाई म मार्नेछु ।”
Israel is like [MET] a grapevine that is dried up; [like a vine] [MET] whose roots are withered and that produces no fruit. Even if the [women of Israel] give birth to [more] children, I will cause those children, whom they love, to die.
17 मेरा परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई इन्कार गर्नुहुन्छ किनभने तिनीहरूले उहाँको आज्ञा मानेका छैनन् । जातिहरूका बिचमा तिनीहरू फिरन्तेहरू हुनेछन् ।
The people of Israel have not obeyed me, their God, so I will reject them. [As a result], they will wander among the [other] nations, [searching for a place to live].”
