1 एफ्राइमका प्रत्‍येक मतवालाहरूले लगाएका गौरवशाली फुलमाला र त्‍यसको महिमित सुन्दरताको ओइलाउने फुललाई, दाखमद्यले लट्ठ परेकाहरूका हरियाली बेसीको शिरमा लगाइएको फुलमालालाई धिक्‍कार!
Woe to the proud garland crown that is worn by each of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of its glorious beauty, the garland that is set on the head of the lush Valley of those who are overcome with wine!
2 हेर, परमप्रभुले शक्तिशाली र बलियो एक जनालाई, असिनाको हुरीबतासझैं अनि विनाशकारी आँधीझैं, मुसलधार झरी र बाडीको पानीझैं पठाउनुहुन्‍छ र उहाँले प्रत्‍येक फुलमालालाई जमिनमा फाल्‍नुहुनेछ ।
Behold, the Lord sends one who is mighty and strong; like a storm of hail and a destructive windstorm, like a driving rain and overflowing waters; and he will throw each garland crown down to the ground.
3 एफ्राइमका मतवालाहरूका गौरवशाली फुलमालालाई खुट्टाले कुल्चिमिल्ची गरिनेछ ।
The proud garland of the drunkards of Ephraim will be trodden underfoot.
4 त्‍यसको महिमित सुन्दरताको ओइलाउने फुल अर्थात् धनी बेसीको शिरमा रहेको छ, त्‍यो पहिले पाकेको अन्‍जिरजस्‍तो हुनेछ, जब कसैले त्‍यसलाई देख्‍छ, तब आफ्नो हातमा हुँदा नै त्यसले त्‍यो निलिहाल्‍छ ।
The fading flower of his glorious beauty, that is on the head of the rich valley, will be as the first ripe fig before the summer, that, when someone sees it, while it is yet in his hand, he gulps it down.
5 त्यो दिनमा सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु नै सुन्दर मुकुट बन्‍नुहुनेछ र आफ्‍ना बाँकी रहेका मानिसहरूका निम्‍ति महिमाको मुकुट बन्‍नुहुनेछ ।
In that day Yahweh of hosts will become a beautiful crown and a diadem of beauty for the remainder of his people,
6 न्याय आसनमा बस्‍नेको निम्ति न्यायको आत्मा र आफ्‍ना ढोकाहरूमा आफ्ना शत्रुलाई फर्काउनेहरूका निम्ति सामर्थ्य हुनुहुनेछ ।
a spirit of justice for him who sits in judgment, and strength for those who turn back their enemies at their gates.
7 तर यिनीहरू पनि दाखमद्यले लरबराउछन् र कडा मद्यले लरखराउछन् । पुजारी र अगमवक्ता कडा मद्यले लरखाराउछन् र दाखमद्यले तिनीहरूलाई निल्छ । कडा मद्यले तिनीहरू लरखराउँछन्, तिनीहरू दर्शनमा लरखराउँछन् र निर्णयमा लरबराउँछन् ।
But even these reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink. The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink, and they are swallowed up by wine. They stagger with strong drink, staggering in vision and reeling in decision.
8 साँच्‍चै नै सबै टेबलहरू बान्ताले ढाकेकोछ, जसले गर्दा त्यहाँ कुनै सफा ठाउँ नै छैन ।
Truly, all tables are covered with vomit, so that there is no clean place.
9 त्यसले कसलाई ज्ञान सिकाउनेछ र त्यसले कसलाई सन्देश बताउनेछ? जसलाई दूध छोडाइएका छन् वा जसलाई बरखरै दूधबाट अलग गरिका छन्?
To whom will he teach knowledge, and to whom will he explain the message? To those who are weaned from milk or to those just taken from the breasts?
10 किनकि यो आज्ञामाथि आज्ञा, आज्ञामाथि आज्ञा, नियममाथि नियम, नियममाथि नियम, अलिकति यहाँ, अलिकति त्यहाँ ।
For it is command upon command, command upon command; rule upon rule, rule upon rule; here a little, there a little.
11 साच्‍चै, यी मानिहरूसँग उहाँले गिल्‍ला गर्ने ओठहरू र विदेशी भाषामा बोल्‍नुहुनेछ ।
Indeed, with mocking lips and a foreign tongue he will speak to this people.
12 विगतमा उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “यो विश्राम हो, जो थकित हुन्‍छ त्यसलाई विश्राम गर्न देओ । अनि यो ताजा हुने कुरा हो,” तर तिनीहरू सुन्‍दैनन् ।
In the past he said to them “This is the rest, give rest to him who is weary; and this is the refreshing,” but they would not listen.
13 त्यसैले तिनीहरूको निम्ति परमप्रभुको वचन आज्ञामाथि आज्ञा, आज्ञामाथि आज्ञा, नियममाथि नियम, नियममाथि नियम, अलिकति यहाँ, अलिकति त्यहाँ हुनेछ । ताकि तिनीहरू जान र पछि हट्न र तोडिन र समातिन सक्छन् ।
So the word of Yahweh will be to them command upon command, command upon command; rule upon rule, rule upon rule; here a little, there a little; so that they may go and fall backward, and be broken, ensnared, and captured.
14 त्यसैले ए गिल्ला गर्नेहरू हो, तिमीहरू जसले यरूशलेममा भएका यी मानिसहरूमाथि राज्‍य गर्छौ, तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुको वचन सुन ।
So listen to the word of Yahweh, you who mock, you who rule over this people who are in Jerusalem.
15 तिमीहरूले यसो भनेका हुनाले यस्‍तो हुनेछ, “हामीले मृत्युसित करार बाँधेका छौं र चिहनसँग हामी समहती गरेका छौं । त्यसैले डरलाग्‍दो कोर्राले हामीलाई भेट्टाउँदा, त्‍यो हामीकहाँ पुग्‍नेछैन । किनकि हामीले झुठलाई हाम्रो शरणस्थान बनाएका छौं र असत्‍यमा वास बसेका छौं।” (Sheol h7585)
This will happen because you said, “We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol we have reached an agreement. So when the overwhelming whip passes through, it will not reach us. For we have made a lie our refuge, and taken shelter in falsehood.” (Sheol h7585)
16 यसकारण परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर भन्‍नहुन्छ, “हेर्, म सियोनमा एउटा जगको ढुङ्गा, जाँचिएको ढुङ्गा, बहुमूल्‍य कुनेढुङ्गा, एउटा बलयो जग राख्‍नेछु । जसले विश्‍वास गर्छ ऊ लाजमा पर्नेछैन ।
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says, “See, I will lay in Zion a foundation stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation. He who believes will not be ashamed.
17 न्यायलाई म नाप्‍ने लट्ठी र धर्मिकतालाई साहुल बनाउनेछु । असिनाले झुटको शरणस्थानलाई बढार्नेछ र बाढीले लुक्‍ने ठाउँलाई डुबाउनेछ ।
I will make justice the measuring stick, and righteousness the plumbline. Hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the floodwaters will overwhelm the hiding place.
18 मृत्युसँग गरेको तिमीहरूको करार खारेज हुनेछ र चिहानसँगको तिमीहरूको सहमति रहनेछैन । जब उर्लंदो बाढी आउँछ, त्‍यसले तिमीहरूलाई डुबाउनेछ । (Sheol h7585)
Your covenant with death will be dissolved, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand. When the raging flood passes through, you will be overwhelmed by it. (Sheol h7585)
19 जब त्‍यो आउँछ त्‍यसले तिमीहरूलाई डुबाउनेछ, त्‍यो हरेक बिहान आउनेछ र त्‍यो दिन र रात आउनेछ । जब सन्देश बुझिन्छ, त्‍यसले त्रास पैदा गर्नेछ ।
Whenever it passes through, it will overwhelm you, and morning by morning it will pass through and by day and night it will come. When the message is understood, it will cause terror.
20 किनकि तन्केर सुत्‍नलाई ओछ्यान छोटो छ र आफूलाई ढाक्‍न कम्बल सानो छ ।”
For the bed is too short for a man to stretch out on, and the blanket too narrow for him to wrap himself in.”
21 पराजीम पर्वतझैं परमप्रभु उठ्नुहुनेछ । गिबोनको बेंसीमा झैं आफ्‍नो काम, आफ्‍नो अनौठो काम र उहाँको अद्‍भुत काम गर्न उहाँ उठ्नुहुनेछ ।
Yahweh will rise up as on Mount Perazim; he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon to do his work, his strange work, and perform his strange deed.
22 यसकारण, अब गिल्ला नगर, नत्र तिमीहरूको बन्धन झन् कसिलो पारिनेछ । मैले सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरबाट पृथ्वीको विनाशको उर्दी सुनेको छु ।
Now therefore do not mock, or your bonds will be tightened. I have heard from the Lord Yahweh of hosts, a decree of destruction on the earth.
23 ध्यान देओ र मेरो आवाज सुन । ध्यान मग्‍न होओ र मेरा वचनहरू सुन ।
Pay attention and listen to my voice; be attentive and listen to my words.
24 छर्नलाई दिनभरि जोत्‍ने किसानले के जमिन जोत्‍ने काम मात्र गर्छ र? के उसले बाँजो फुटाउने र डल्लो फुटाउँछ मात्र गर्छ र?
Does a farmer who plows all day to sow, only plow the ground? Does he continually break up and harrow the field?
25 जब त्यसले जमिन तयार पार्छ, के त्यसले सूँप छर्ने र जीराको बीउ फैलाउने, गहुँलाई ड्‍याङमा रोप्‍ने र जौलाई ठिक ठाउँमा र कठियालाई यसको छेउहरूमा रोप्दैन?
When he has prepared the ground, does he not scatter caraway seed, sow the cumin, put in the wheat in rows and the barley in the right place, and the spelt at its edges?
26 त्यसको परमेश्‍वरले त्यसलाई सिकाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले त्यसलाई बुद्धिमनीसाथ सिकाउनुहुन्छ ।
His God instructs him; he teaches him wisely.
27 अनि सूँपलाई हथौडाले झारिंदैन, न जीरालाई झार्न गाडा नै गुडाइन्छ । तर सूँपलाई लट्ठीले कुटिन्छ र जीरालाई लुहुरोले कुटिन्छ ।
Moreover, the caraway seed is not threshed with a sledge, nor is a cartwheel rolled over the cumin; but caraway is beaten with a stick, and cumin with a rod.
28 रोटी बनाउन अन्‍नलाई पिसिन्छ, तर अति मिहिन पारिंदैन, र त्‍यसको गाडाका पाङ्ग्राहरू र त्यसका घोडाहरूले यसलाई छरे तापनि त्यसका घोडाहरूले यसलाई चूरचूर पार्दैनन् ।
Grain is ground for bread but not too finely, and though the wheels of his cart and his horses scatter it, his horses do not crush it.
29 यो पनि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुबाट नै आउँछ, जो शिक्षा दिनमा अति हसल र बुद्धिमा उत्कृष्‍ट हुनुहुन्छ । ‍
This too comes from Yahweh of hosts, who is wonderful in instruction and excellent in wisdom.
