योएल 2
1 सियोनमा तुरही फुक, र मेरो पवित्र पर्वतमा चेतावनी ध्वनि बजाओ! देशका सबै बासिन्दाहरू डरले थरथर होऊन्, किनकि परमप्रभुको दिन आउँदैछ, वास्तवमा, त्यो नजिकै छ ।
Blow all of you the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD comes, for it is nigh at hand;
2 यो अन्धकार र उदासको दिन हो, बादलहरू र बाक्लो अन्धकारको दिन हो । जसरी पर्वतहरूमा झिसमिसे बिहानी फैलिन्छ, त्यसरी नै एउटा ठुलो र शक्तिशाली सेना नजिक आउँदैछ । त्यस्तो सेना पहिले कहिल्यै थिएन, अनि पुस्तौं-पुस्ता पछिसम्म पनि, त्यहाँ त्यस्तो फेरि कहिल्यै हुनेछैन ।
A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there has not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
3 त्यसको अगाडिका सबै कुरालाई आगोले भष्म पार्दैछ, र त्यसको पछाडि आगोको ज्वाला बलिरहेको छ । त्यसको अगाडिको देश अदनको बगैंचाजस्तो छ, तर त्यसको पछाडि एउटा नाश भएको उजाड-स्थान छ । त्यसबाट कुनै कुरा फुत्कनेछैन ।
A fire devours before them; and behind them a flame burns: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
4 त्यो सेना घोडाहरूझैं देखा पर्छ, र तिनीहरू घोडचढीहरूझैं दौडन्छन् ।
The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
5 पर्वतहरूका टाकुराहरूमा रथहरूले गरेझैं, झिंजाहरू भस्म पार्ने भयङ्कर ज्वालाको आवाजझैं, युद्धको निम्ति तयार भएको शक्तिशाली सेनाझैं, आवाज गरेर तिनीहरू उफ्रन्छन् ।
Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
6 तिनीहरूको उपस्थितिले मानिसहरू वेदनामा पर्छन्, अनि तिनीहरूका सम्पूर्ण अनुहार पहेंलो हुन्छ ।
Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
7 शक्तिशाली लडाकुहरूझैं तिनीहरू दौडन्छन्, सेनाहरूझैं तिनीहरू पर्खालहरूमा चढ्छन्, तिनीहरू हरेक व्यक्ति पङ्तिवद्ध भएर हिंड्छन्, र आफ्नो पङ्तिलाई बिगार्दैनन् ।
They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
8 न त एउटाले अर्कालाई धक्का दिन्छन् । तिनीहरू प्रत्येक नै आ-आफ्नै बाटोमा हिंड्छन् । तिनीहरू सुरक्षाबलहरूलाई तोड्दै अघि बढ्छन्, र आफ्नो लाइनभन्दा बाहिर पुग्दैनन् ।
Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
9 तिनीहरूले सहरलाई आक्रमण गर्छन्, तिनीहरू पर्खालमा दौडन्छन्, तिनीहरू घरहरूमाथि चढ्छन्, र चोरहरूझैं तिनीहरू झ्यालहरूबाट भित्र जान्छन् ।
They shall run back and forth in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
10 तिनीहरूको अगि पृथ्वी काम्छ, आकाश थरथर हुन्छ, सूर्य र चन्द्रमा अँध्यारो हुन्छन्, अनि ताराहरू चम्कन छोड्छन् ।
The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
11 परमप्रभुले आफ्नो सेनाको सामु ठुलो सोरले कराउनुहुन्छ, किनकि उहाँका योद्धाहरू असङ्ख्य छन्, किनकि उहाँका आज्ञा पालन गर्नेहरू, ती बलिया छन् । किनकि परमप्रभुको दिन महान् र अत्यन्तै भयानक हुन्छ । त्यसबाट को बाँच्न सक्छ र?
And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executes his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
12 परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ “अहिले पनि, आफ्ना सारा हृदयले मकाहाँ फर्क । उपवास बस, रोओ, र विलाप गर ।”
Therefore also now, says the LORD, turn all of you even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
13 आफ्ना लुगामात्र होइन तर आफ्ना हृदय पनि धुजाधुजा पार, र परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरकाहाँ फर्क । किनकि उहाँ अनुग्रही र कृपापूर्ण, रिसाउनमा ढिला र करारको विश्वसततामा प्रशस्त हुनुहुन्छ, र दण्डको पिडा दिनबाट उहाँ पर्कन चाहनुहुन्न ।
And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repents him of the evil.
14 कसले जान्दछ? सायद उहाँ पर्कनुहुन्छ, र दया देखाउनुहुन्छ, र आफ्नो पछि आशिष् छोड्नुहुन्छ, तिमीहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरका निम्ति अन्नबलि र अर्घबलि दिनुहुन्छ कि?
Who knows if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a food offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?
15 सियोनमा तुरही फुक, पवित्र उपवासको आव्हान गर, र पवित्र सभा बोलाओ ।
Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
16 मानिसहरूलाई भेला गराओ, पवित्र सभा बोलाओ । धर्मगुरुहरूलाई भेला गर, बालबालिका र दूधे बालकहरूलाई भेला गराओ । दुलहाहरू आफ्ना कोठाहरूबाट बाहिर आऊन्, अनि दुलहीहरू आफ्ना सृङ्गारका कोठाहरूबाट बाहिर आऊन् ।
Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go out of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
17 पुजारीहरू, परमप्रभुका सेवकहरू, दलान र वेदीको बिचमा रोऊन् । तिनीहरूले यसो भनून्, “हे परमप्रभु, आफ्ना मानिसहरू बाँकी राख्नुहोस्, र आफ्नो उत्तराधिकारलाई घृणाको पात्र बन्न नदिनुहोस्, र जातिहरूले तिनीहरूको गिल्ला नगरून् । तिनीहरूले जातिहरूका बिचमा यस्तो किन भन्नू, ‘तिनीहरूका परमेश्वर कहाँ छ?’”
Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare your people, O LORD, and give not your heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
18 आफ्नो देशको निम्ति परमप्रभु डाही हुनुभयो र आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई दया देखाउनुभयो ।
Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
19 परमप्रभुले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, “हेर, म तिमीहरूका निम्ति अन्न, नयाँ दाखमद्य, र तेल पठाउनेछु । ती कुराहरूले तिमीहरू सन्तुष्ट हुनेछौ, र तिमीहरूलाई फेरि म जातिहरूका बिचमा अपमानित तुल्याउनेछैनँ ।
Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and all of you shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
20 उत्तरबाट आक्रमण गर्नेहरूलाई म तिमीहरूबाट टाढा हटाइदिनेछु, र तिनीहरूलाई एउटा सुक्खा र त्यागिएको देशमा लखेटिदिनेछु । तिनीहरूको सेनाको अग्रपङ्क्ति पूर्वीय समुद्रमा, अनि पछिल्लो पङ्क्तिचाहिं पश्चिमी समुद्रमा जानेछ । त्यसको दुर्गन्ध माथि उठ्नेछ, त्यसको सडेको दुर्गन्ध माथि उठ्नेछ ।” निश्चय नै उहाँले महान् काम गर्नुभएको छ ।
But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he has done great things.
21 ए देश, नडरा, रमाहट गर र आनन्दित हो, किनकि परमप्रभुले महान् काम गर्नुहुनेछ ।
Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.
22 ए मैदानका पशुहरू हो, नडराओ, किनकि उजाड-स्थानका खर्कहरूमा पलाउनेछन्, र बोटहरूले आफ्ना फलहरू दिनेछन्, र नेभाराका बोटहरू र दाखका बोटहरूले आ-आफ्ना फसल पुरा रूपमा दिनेछन् ।
Be not afraid, all of you beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree bears her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
23 ए सियोनका मानिस हो, खुशी होओ, आफ्ना परमप्रभु परमेश्वरमा आनन्दित होओ । किनकि उहाँले ठिक समयमा चाँडै शरदको वर्षा दिनुहुनेछ, र तिमीहरूका निम्ति झरी पार्नुहुनेछ, पहिलेझैं नै शरद् र बसन्तका दुवै झरी हुनेछन् ।
Be glad then, all of you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he has given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
24 खलाहरू गहुँले भरिनेछन्, र घ्याम्पोहरू नयाँ दाखमद्य र तेलले भरिएर पोखिनेछन् ।
And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
25 “बथानमा हिंड्ने सलहले— ठुला सलह, सखाप पार्ने सलह र नाश गर्ने सलहले — मैले तिमीहरूका बिचमा पठाएको मेरो शक्तिशाली सेनाले, वर्षौंदेखि खाएको बालीको म तिमीहरूलाई क्षतिपुर्ति दिनेछु ।
And I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
26 तिमीहरू प्रशस्त गरी खानेछौ र भरपेट हुनेछौ, र आफ्ना परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको नाउँको प्रशंसा गर्नेछौ, जसले तिमीहरूका बिचमा अचम्मका काम गर्नुएको छ, र म कहिल्यै आफ्ना मानिसहरूमा जाल ल्याउनेछैनँ ।
And all of you shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that has dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
27 म इस्राएलको बिचमा छु भनी तिमीहरूले जान्नेछौ, र म नै परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर हुँ, र त्यहाँ अर्को कोही पनि छैन, र म कहिल्यै आफ्ना मानिसहरूमा लाज ल्याउनेछैनँ ।
And all of you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
28 केही समयपछि सबै मानिसमाथि, म आफ्नो आत्मा खन्याउनेछु, र तिमीहरूका छोराहरू र छोरीहरूले अगमवाणी बोल्नेछन् । तिमीहरूका वृद्ध मानिसहरूले सपनाहरू देख्नेछन्, र तिमीहरूका जवान मानिसहरूले दर्शनहरू देख्नेछन् ।
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 साथै ती दिनहरूमा दासहरू र दासीहरूमा, म आफ्नो आत्माबाट खन्याउनेछु ।
And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
30 आकाश र पृथ्वीमा अचम्मका कामहरू, रगत, आगो, र धूँवाका मुस्लाहरू म देखाउनेछु ।
And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 परमप्रभुको त्यो महान् र भयानक दिन आउनुअघि, सूर्य अन्धकारमा अनि चन्द्रमा रगतमा परिवर्तन हुनेछ ।
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.
32 परमप्रभुको नाउँ पुकार्ने हरेक व्यक्ति बचाइनेछ । किनकि जस्तो परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएको छ, सियोन पर्वतमा र यरूशलेममा छुटकारा पाएका मानिसहरू हुनेछन्, जसलाई परमप्रभुले बोलाउनुहुन्छ ।
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD has said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
