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 ye a trumpet in Zion, And shout ye in My holy hill, Tremble do all inhabitants of the earth, For coming is the day of Jehovah, for [it is] near!

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 thick darkness, A day of cloud and thick darkness, As darkness spread on the mountains, A people numerous and mighty, Like it there hath not been from of old, And after it there is not again — till the years of generation and generation.

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 ।

Before it consumed hath fire, And after it burn doth a flame, As the garden of Eden [is] the land before it, And after it a wilderness — a desolation! And also an escape there hath not been to it,

4 त्‍यो सेना घोडाहरूझैं देखा पर्छ, र तिनीहरू घोडचढीहरूझैं दौडन्‍छन् ।

As the appearance of horses [is] its appearance, And as horsemen, so they run.

5 पर्वतहरूका टाकुराहरूमा रथहरूले गरेझैं, झिंजाहरू भस्‍म पार्ने भयङ्कर ज्वालाको आवाजझैं, युद्धको निम्ति तयार भएको शक्तिशाली सेनाझैं, आवाज गरेर तिनीहरू उफ्रन्‍छन् ।

As the noise of chariots, on the tops of the mountains they skip, As the noise of a flame of fire devouring stubble, As a mighty people set in array for battle.

6 तिनीहरूको उपस्थितिले मानिसहरू वेदनामा पर्छन्, अनि तिनीहरूका सम्‍पूर्ण अनुहार पहेंलो हुन्छ ।

From its face pained are peoples, All faces have gathered paleness.

7 शक्तिशाली लडाकुहरूझैं तिनीहरू दौडन्‍छन्, सेनाहरूझैं तिनीहरू पर्खालहरूमा चढ्‍छन्, तिनीहरू हरेक व्‍यक्‍ति पङ्तिवद्ध भएर हिंड्‍छन्, र आफ्नो पङ्तिलाई बिगार्दैनन् ।

As mighty ones they run, As men of war they go up a wall, And each in his own ways they do go, And they embarrass not their paths.

8 न त एउटाले अर्कालाई धक्‍का दिन्छन् । तिनीहरू प्रत्‍येक नै आ-आफ्नै बाटोमा हिंड्छन् । तिनीहरू सुरक्षाबलहरूलाई तोड्‍दै अघि बढ्छन्, र आफ्नो लाइनभन्‍दा बाहिर पुग्दैनन् ।

And each his brother they press not, Each in his way they go on, If by the missile they fall, they are not cut off.

9 तिनीहरूले सहरलाई आक्रमण गर्छन्, तिनीहरू पर्खालमा दौडन्‍छन्, तिनीहरू घरहरूमाथि चढ्छन्, र चोरहरूझैं तिनीहरू झ्यालहरूबाट भित्र जान्‍छन् ।

In the city they run to and fro, On the wall they run, Into houses they go up by the windows, They go in as a thief.

10 तिनीहरूको अगि पृथ्वी काम्छ, आकाश थरथर हुन्‍छ, सूर्य र चन्द्रमा अँध्यारो हुन्छन्, अनि ताराहरू चम्कन छोड्‍छन् ।

At their face trembled hath the earth, Shaken have the heavens, Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up 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 Jehovah hath given forth His voice before His force, For very great [is] His camp, For mighty [is] the doer of His word, For great [is] the day of Jehovah — very fearful, And who doth bear it?

12 परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ “अहिले पनि, आफ्‍ना सारा हृदयले मकाहाँ फर्क । उपवास बस, रोओ, र विलाप गर ।”

And also now — an affirmation of Jehovah, Turn ye back unto Me with all your heart, And with fasting, and with weeping, And with lamentation.

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 back unto Jehovah your God, For gracious and merciful [is] He, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness, And He hath repented concerning 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 knoweth — He doth turn back, Yea — He hath repented, And He hath left behind Him a blessing, A present and libation of Jehovah your God?

15 सियोनमा तुरही फुक, पवित्र उपवासको आव्‍हान गर, र पवित्र सभा बोलाओ ।

Blow ye a trumpet in Zion, Sanctify a fast — proclaim a restraint.

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 an assembly, Assemble the aged, Gather infants and sucklings of the breasts, Go out let a bridegroom from his inner chamber, And a 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?’”

Between the porch and the altar weep let the priests, ministrants of Jehovah, And let them say: 'Have pity, O Jehovah, on Thy people, And give not Thy inheritance to reproach, To the ruling over them of nations, Why do they say among peoples, Where [is] their God?'

18 आफ्नो देशको निम्‍ति परमप्रभु डाही हुनुभयो र आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई दया देखाउनुभयो ।

And let Jehovah be zealous for His land, And have pity on 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 ।

Let Jehovah answer and say to His people, 'Lo, I am sending to you the corn, And the new wine, and the oil, And ye have been satisfied with it, And I make you no more a reproach among nations,

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 ।

And the northern I put far off from you, And have driven him unto a land dry and desolate, With his face unto the eastern sea, And his rear unto the western sea, And come up hath his stink, And come up doth his stench, For he hath exerted himself to work.

21 ए देश, नडरा, रमाहट गर र आनन्दित हो, किनकि परमप्रभुले महान् काम गर्नुहुनेछ ।

Do not fear, O land! joy and rejoice, For Jehovah hath exerted Himself to work.

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 ।

Do not fear, O cattle of the field! For sprung forth have pastures of a wilderness, For the tree hath borne its fruit, Fig-tree and vine have given 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 ।

And ye sons of Zion, joy and rejoice, In Jehovah your God, For He hath given to you the Teacher for righteousness, And causeth to come down to you a shower, Sprinkling and gathered — in the beginning.

24 खलाहरू गहुँले भरिनेछन्, र घ्‍याम्‍पोहरू नयाँ दाखमद्य र तेलले भरिएर पोखिनेछन् ।

And full have been the floors [with] pure corn, And overflown have the presses [with] new 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 have recompensed to you the years That consume did the locust, the cankerworm, And the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, My great force that I did send against 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 ye have eaten, eating and being satisfied, And have praised the name of Jehovah your God, Who hath dealt with you wonderfully, And not ashamed are My people to the age.

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 ye have known that in the midst of Israel [am] I, And I [am] Jehovah your God, and there is none else, And not ashamed are My people to the age.

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 hath come to pass afterwards, I do pour out My Spirit on all flesh, And prophesied have your sons and your daughters, Your old men do dream dreams, Your young men do see visions.

29 साथै ती दिनहरूमा दासहरू र दासीहरूमा, म आफ्‍नो आत्माबाट खन्याउनेछु ।

And also on the men-servants, and on the maid-servants, In those days I do pour out My Spirit.

30 आकाश र पृथ्वीमा अचम्‍मका कामहरू, रगत, आगो, र धूँवाका मुस्लाहरू म देखाउनेछु ।

And I have given wonders in the heavens, and in the earth, Blood and fire, and columns of smoke.

31 परमप्रभुको त्यो महान् र भयानक दिन आउनुअघि, सूर्य अन्धकारमा अनि चन्द्रमा रगतमा परिवर्तन हुनेछ ।

The sun is turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, Before the coming of the day of Jehovah, The great and the fearful.

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 hath come to pass, Every one who calleth in the name of Jehovah is delivered, For in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there is an escape, As Jehovah hath said, And among the remnants whom Jehovah is calling!
