1 उजाड-स्‍थानको सेलाको देशबाट सियोन पर्वतको छोरीको शासकलाई थुमाहरू पठाओ ।
Send rams to the ruler of the land from Selah in the wilderness, to the mount of the daughter of Zion.
2 जसरी चराहरू भौंतारिन्‍छन् र जसरी गुँड छरपष्‍ट पारिन्‍छ, मोआबका स्‍त्रीहरू अर्नोनका जाँघारहरूमा तेस्‍तै भएका छन् ।
As wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so the women of Moab are at the fords of the Arnon River.
3 “निर्देशन दओ, न्याय गर । मध्य दिनमा पनि रातको जस्तै केही सितलता प्रदान गर । भगौडाहरूलाई लुकाओ । भगौडाहरूलाई धोका नदेओ ।
“Give instruction, execute justice; provide some shade like night in the middle of the day; hide the fugitives; do not betray the fugitives.
4 मोआबबाट आएका शरणार्थीहरू तिमीहरूको माझमा बसोवास गरून् । विनाश गर्नेबाट तिनीहरूका निम्ति लुक्‍ने ठाउँ होओ ।” किनकि अत्याचार रोकिनेछ, र विनाश अन्त हुनेछ, कुल्चनेहरू देशबाट लोप भएर जानेछन् ।
Let them live among you, the refugees from Moab; be a hiding place for them from the destroyer.” For the oppression will stop, and destruction will cease, those who trample will disappear from the land.
5 करारको विश्‍वस्ततामा सिंहासनलाई स्थापित गरिनेछ । अनि दाऊदको पालबाट आएका एक जना विश्‍वस्‍ततासाथ त्यसमा विराजमान हुनुहुनेछ । उहाँले न्‍यायको खोजी गर्नुहुँदा र धार्मिकतासाथ व्‍यवहार गर्नुहुँदा उहाँले इन्‍साफ गर्नुहुनेछ ।
A throne will be established in covenant faithfulness; and one from David's tent will faithfully sit there. He will judge as he seeks justice and does righteousness.
6 मोआबको घमण्ड, त्यसको अहङ्कार र त्यसको रिसको बारेमा हामीले सुनेका छौं । तर त्यसका घमण्डहरू खोक्रा शब्दहरू हुन् ।
We have heard of Moab's pride, his arrogance, his boasting, and his anger. But his boastings are empty words.
7 त्यसैले मोआबले मोआबको निम्ति विलाप गर्नेछ— तिनीहरू सबैले विलाप गर्नेछन् । कीर-हरेशेतको किशमिशको झुप्‍पाको निम्‍ति पुर्ण रूपमा विनाश भएकाहरूले विलाप गर ।
So Moab wails for Moab—they all wail! Mourn, you who are utterly destroyed, for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth.
8 हेश्बोनका खेतहरू साथै सिब्माका दाखहरू सुकेका छन् । याजेरमा पुगेको र मरुभूमिमा फैलिएको उत्तम दाखहरूलाई, जातिहरूका शासकहरूले कुल्चेका छन् । त्‍यसका टुसाहरू बाहिर देशमा फैलिए । ती समुद्रमाथि गए ।
The fields of Heshbon have dried up as well as the vines of Sibmah. The rulers of the nations have trampled the choice vines that reached to Jazer and spread into the desert. Its shoots spread abroad; they went over to the sea.
9 साँच्‍चै, सिब्माको दाखबारीको निम्ति म याजेरसँगै रुनेछु । ए हेश्बोन र एलाले, मेरो आँसुले म तँलाई भिजाउनेछु । किनकि तेरो गृष्मका फलहरू र कटनीको आनन्दको आवाजलाई मैले अन्त गरेको छु ।
Indeed I will weep along with Jazer for the vineyard of Sibmah. I will water you with my tears, Heshbon, and Elealeh. For on your fields of summer fruits and harvest I have ended the shouts of joy.
10 फलका रूखहरूबाट खुसी र आनन्द लुटिएको छ । अनि दाखबारीमा कुनै किसिमको गीत वा आवाज छैन । दाखको कोलमा कसैले पनि दाख पेल्दैन, किनकि दाख पाल्‍नेहरूको आवाज मैले अन्त गरेको छु ।
Gladness and joy are taken away from the fruit tree groves; and there is no singing, or shouts in the vineyards. No one treads out wine in the presses, for I have put an end to the shouts of the one who treads.
11 त्यसैले मेरो हृदयले मोआबको निम्ति र मेरो अन्तस्करणले कीर-हरेशेतको निम्ति वीणाले झैं सुस्केरा हाल्छ ।
So my heart sighs like a harp for Moab, and my inward being for Kir Hareseth.
12 जब मोआबले आफूलाई उच्‍च स्थानमा थकित बनाउँछ र प्रार्थना गर्न आफ्‍नो मन्दिरमा प्रवेश गर्छ, त्यसको प्रार्थनाले केही काम गर्नेछैन ।
When Moab wears himself out on the high place and enters his temple to pray, his prayers will accomplish nothing.
13 परमप्रभुले मोआबको बारेमा पहिले नै बोल्नुभएको वचन यही हो ।
This is the word that Yahweh spoke concerning Moab previously.
14 फेरि परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “मोआबको गौरव तिन वर्षभित्र हराउनेछ । त्यसको धेरै मानिहरू भए पनि बाँकी रहेकाहरू अति थोरै र नगण्य हुनेछन् ।”
Again Yahweh speaks, “Within three years, the glory of Moab will disappear; in spite of his many people, the remnant will be very few and insignificant.”
