योएल 1
1 पतुएलका छोरा योएलकहाँ आएको परमप्रभु वचन यही हो ।
The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
2 ए धर्मगुरुहरू हो, यो कुरा सुन, र ए देशका सबै बासिन्दाहरू हो ध्यानसँग सुन । तिमीहरूका दिनमा वा तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूका दिनमा कहिल्यै यस्तो भएको छ?
Hear this, all of you old men, and give ear, all you inhabitants of the land. Has this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?
3 यसको विषयमा आफ्ना छोराछोरीलाई भन, र तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीले आफ्ना छोराछोरीलाई भनून्, र तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीले अर्को पुस्तालाई भनून् ।
Tell all of you your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
4 बथानमा हिंड्ने सलहहरूले जे बाँकी छोडेका छन्, ती ठुला सलहले खाएका छन्, ठुला सलहले जे बाँकी छोडेका छन् ती फट्याङ्ग्राले खाएका छन्, र फट्याङ्ग्राले जे बाँकी छोडेका छन् ती झुसिल्किराले खाएका छन् ।
That which the palmerworm has left has the locust eaten; and that which the locust has left has the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm has left has the caterpillar eaten.
5 ए मद्यले मातेकाहरू हो, उठ र रोओ! ए दाखमद्य पिउनेहरू, सबै विलाप गर, किनभने मिठो दाखमद्यलाई तिमीहरूबाट खोसिएको छ ।
Awake, all of you drunkards, and weep; and wail, all you drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.
6 किनकि मेरो देशमा एउटा जाति आएको छ, बलियो र अनगिन्ती छ । त्यसका दाँत सिंहका दाँतझैं छन्, र त्यसका दाह्रा सिंहनीका झैं छन् ।
For a nation has come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the cheek teeth of a great lion.
7 त्यसले मेरो दाखबारीलाई उजाड ठाउँ बनाएको छ र मेरो नेभाराका बोटलाई लाछेर नाङ्गो पारेको छ । त्यसका बोक्राहरू त्यसले ताछेको छ र टाढा फालेको छ, र हाँगाहरू केवल सेता मात्र छन् ।
He has laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he has made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.
8 आफ्नो भर्खरको पतिको मृत्यु भएर भाङ्ग्रा लगाएकी कन्या केटीले झैं विलाप गर ।
Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
9 परमप्रभुको मन्दिरबाट अन्नबलि र अर्घबलि हटाइएका छन् । परमप्रभुको सेवा गर्ने पुजारीहरू विलाप गर्छन् ।
The food offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD's ministers, mourn.
10 खेतहरू सखाप पारिएका छन्, र अन्नहरू नष्ट पारिएका हुनाले भूमिले विलाप गर्दैछ । नयाँ दाखमद्य सुकेको छ, तेल बाँकी छैन ।
The field is wasted, the land mourns; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languishes.
11 ए किसानहरू हो, लज्जित होओ, र दाखबारी लगाउनेहरू हो, विलाप गर । किनभने भूमिको उब्जनी नष्ट भएको छ । गहुँ र जौका बढिरहेका छैनन् ।
Be all of you ashamed, O all of you husbandmen; wail, O all of you vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.
12 दाखका बोटहरू ओइलाएका छन् र नेभाराका बोटहरू सुकेका छन्, र अनार बोटहरू, खजूर बोटहरू र स्याउको बोटहरू, खेतबारीका सबै बोटहरू ओइलाएका छन् । किनभने मानवजातिका सन्तानबाट आनन्द विलाएर गएको छ ।
The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languishes; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.
13 ए पुजारीहरू हो, भाङ्ग्रा लगाओ र विलाप गर! वेदीमा सेवा गर्नेहरू हो, विलाप गर । ए मेरा परमेश्वरका सेवा गर्नेहरू हो, आओ, र रातभर भाङ्ग्रा लगाएर बस । किनभने तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको मन्दिरबाट अन्नबलि र अर्घबलि हटाइएका छन् ।
Gird yourselves, and lament, all of you priests: wail, all of you ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, all of you ministers of my God: for the food offering and the drink offering is withheld from the house of your God.
14 पवित्र उपवासको घोषणा गर, र पवित्र सभा आव्हान गर । परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा देशका सबै धर्मगुरुहरू र बासिन्दाहरूलाई भेला गराओ र, अनि परमप्रभुमा पुकार ।
Sanctify all of you a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD,
15 हाय! त्यो दिन, किनकि परमप्रभुको दिन नजिकै छ । त्योसँगै सर्वशक्तिमान्बाट विनाश आउनेछ ।
Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
16 के हाम्रै आँखाका सामु खानेकुरा, अनि हाम्रा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरबाट आनन्द र रमाहट रोकिएको छैन र?
Is not the food cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
17 माटोका डल्लामुनि बीउहरू सडे, भण्डारहरू उजाड भए, र अन्नका भकारीहरू भत्काइए, किनकि अन्न सुकेको छ ।
The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.
18 पशुहरू कसरी विलाप् गर्छन्! पाल्तु पशुका बथानहरूले कष्ट भोग्दैछन्, किनकि तिनीहरूका निम्ति खर्क छैन । साथै, भेडाका बगालहरू पनि कष्ट भोग्दैछन् ।
How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.
19 हे परमप्रभु, म तपाईंमा पुकारा गर्दछु । किनकि उजाड-स्थानका खर्कहरूलाई आगोले भस्म पारेका छ, र खेतका सबै रूखहरूलाई आगोले जलाएको छ ।
O LORD, to you will I cry: for the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame has burned all the trees of the field.
20 जमिनका पशुहरू पनि तपाईंका निम्ति तड्पिन्छन्, किनकि पानीका खोलाहरू सुकेका छन्, र उजाड-स्थानका खर्कहरूलाई आगोले भस्म पारेको छ ।
The beasts of the field cry also unto you: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
