योएल 3
1 हेर, ती दिनमा र त्यो समयमा, यहूदा र यरूशलेमका निर्वासितहरूलाई मैले फर्काउँदा,
For, behold, in those days and in that time, when I will have converted the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 सबै जातिहरूलाई म भेला गर्नेछु, र तिनीहरूलाई यहोशापातको बेंसीमा तल लैजानेछु । मेरा मानिसहरू र मेरो उत्तराधिकार इस्राएलको कारणले, जसलाई तिनीहरूले जातिहरूका बिचमा छरपष्ट पारेको, र मेरो देशलाई तिनीहरूले भाग-भागको पारेको कारणले, त्यहाँ म तिनीहरुको न्याय गर्नेछु ।
I will gather all the Gentiles, and will lead them into the valley of Jehoshaphat. And there I will dispute with them over my people, and over Israel, my inheritance, for they have scattered them among the nations and have divided my land.
3 तिनीहरूले मेरा मानिसहरूका निम्ति चिट्ठा हाले, एउटी वेश्या पाउनलाई केटालाई बेचे, र दाखमद्य पिउनलाई केटीलाई बेचे, यसरी तिनीहरूले जाँड-रक्सी पिए ।
And they have cast lots over my people; and the boy they have placed in the brothel, and the girl they have sold for wine, so that they might drink.
4 अब, टुरोस, सीदोन र पलिश्तीका सबै क्षेत्रहरू, तिमीहरू किन मसँग रिसाउँछौ? के तिमीहरूले मलाई बदला लिन सक्छौ? तिमीहरूले मलाई बदला लियौ भने पनि, तिमीहरूको बदलालाई म तुरुन्तै तिमीहरूकै थाप्लोमा फर्काउनेछु ।
Truly, what is there between you and me, Tyre and Sidon and all the distant places of the Philistines? How will you take vengeance on me? And if you were to revenge yourselves against me, I would deliver a repayment to you, quickly and soon, upon your head.
5 किनकि तिमीहरूले मेरो चाँदी र सुन लग्यौ, र मेरा बहुमुल्य धनसम्पत्ति तिमीहरूले आफ्ना मन्दिरहरूमा लग्यौ ।
For you have carried away my silver and gold. And my desirable and most beautiful, you have taken into your shrines.
6 यहूदा र यरूशलेमका मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूका इलाकाबाट टाढा हटाउनलाई, तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई ग्रीकहरूका हातमा बेचिदियौ ।
And you, sons of Judah and sons of Jerusalem, you have sold the sons of the Greeks, so that you might drive them far from their own territory.
7 हेर, तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई बेचेका ठाउँबाट, म तिनीहरूलाई माथि उठाउनेछु, र तिमीहरूकै टाउकोमा त्यसको मुल्य चुकाउनेछु ।
Behold, I will raise them up from the place into which you have sold them, and I will turn back your retribution on your own head.
8 यहूदाका मानिसहरूका हातद्वारा, तिमीहरूका छोराहरू र छोरीहरूलाई म बेचिदिनेछु । टाढाको जाति शबाहरूका हातमा, तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई बेच्नेछन्, किनकि परमप्रभुले बोल्नुभएको छ ।”
And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the sons of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, a distant nation, for the Lord has spoken.
9 जातिहरूका बिचमा यो कुरा घोषणा गर, “युद्धको निम्ति आफैंलाई तयार गर, शक्तिशाली मानिसहरूलाई जगाओ, तिनीहरूलाई नजिक आउन देओ, युद्धका सबै मानिसहरू माथि आऊन् ।
Proclaim this among the Gentiles: “Sanctify a war, raise up the strong. Approach, ascend, all men of war.
10 आफ्ना फालीहरू पिटेर तरवारहरू बनाओ र छिमल्ने खुकुरीहरू पिटेर भालाहरू बनाओ । कमजोरले भनोस्, ‘म बलियो छु ।’
Cut your ploughs into swords and your hoes into spears. Let the weak say, ‘For I am strong.’
11 ए सबै नजिकका जातिहरू, हतार गर र आओ, आफूलाई एकसाथ त्यहाँ भेला पार । हे परमप्रभु, आफ्ना शक्तिशाली योद्धाहरूलाई तल ल्याउनुहोस् ।
Break out and advance, all nations of the world, and gather together. There the Lord will cause all your strong ones to meet death.”
12 जातिहरूले आफैंलाई जगाऊन् र यहोशापातको बेसीमा उक्लेर आऊन् । किनकि वरिपरिका सबै जातिको न्याय गर्न, म त्यहीं बस्नेछु ।
Let them arise and ascend to the valley of Jehoshaphat. For there I will sit, so as to judge all the nations of the world.
13 हँसिया बोक, किनकि फसल पाकेको छ । आओ, दाखहरूलाई पेल, किनको दाखको कोल भरिएको छ । घ्याम्पोहरू भरिएर पोखिन्छन्, किनकि तिनीहरूका दुष्टता विशाल छ ।”
Send forth the sickles, because the harvest has matured. Advance and descend, for the press is full, the pressing room is overflowing. For their malice has been increasing.
14 त्यहाँ होहल्ला छ, इन्साफको बेसीमा कोलाहल छ । किनकि इन्साफको बेसीमा परमप्रभुको दिन नजिकै छ ।
Nations, nations in the valley of being cut to pieces: for the day of the Lord fittingly takes place in the valley of being cut to pieces.
15 सुर्य र चन्द्रमा अन्धकार हुन्छन्, र ताराहरूले आफ्नो चमक लुकाउँछन् ।
The sun and the moon have been darkened, and the stars have withdrawn their splendor.
16 सियोनबाट परमप्रभु गर्जनुहुन्छ, र यरूशलेमबाट आफ्नो आवाज उठाउनुहुन्छ । आकाश र पृथ्वी थरथर काम्नेछन्, तर परमप्रभु आफ्ना मानिसहरूका निम्ति शरणस्थान, र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका निम्ति किल्ला हुनुहुनेछ ।
And the Lord will roar from Zion and utter his voice from Jerusalem. And the heavens and the earth will be moved. And the Lord will be the hope of his people and the strength of the sons of Israel.
17 “यसैले, परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर म नै हुँ भनी तिमीहरूले जान्नेछौ, म आफ्नो पवित्र पर्वत सियोनमा बास गर्छु । तब यरूशलेम पवित्र हुनेछ, र त्यसबाट फेरि कहिलै कुनै सेना हिंड्नेछैन ।
And you will know that I am the Lord your God, dwelling on Zion, my holy mountain. And Jerusalem will be holy, and strangers will not cross through it anymore.
18 त्यो दिनमा यस्तो हुनेछ, पहाडहरूबाट मिठो दाखमद्य चुहिनेछ, डाँडाहरूबाट दूध बग्नेछ, यहूदाका सबै खोलाहरूमा पानी बग्नेछ, र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरबाट मूल फुट्नेछ, र शित्तिमको उपत्यकालाई भिजाउनेछ ।
And it will happen, in that day, that the mountains will drip sweetness, and the hills will flow with milk. And the waters will pass through all the rivers of Judah. And a fountain will go forth from the house of the Lord, and it will irrigate the desert of thorns.
19 यहूदाका मानिसहरूमाथि अत्याचार गरिएको हुनाले, तिनीहरूले आफ्नो देशमा निर्दोष रगत बगाएको हुनाले, मिश्र त्यागिएर उजाड हुनेछ, र एदोमचाहिं त्यागिएको उजाड-स्थान हुनेछ ।
Egypt will be in desolation, and Edom will be a wilderness destroyed, because of what they have unfairly done to the sons of Judah, and because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 तर यहूदामा सधैं मानिसहरू बसोबास गर्नेछन्, र यरूशलेममा चाहिं पुस्तादेखि पुस्तासम्म बसोबास हुनेछ ।
And Judea will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem for generation upon generation.
21 मैले बदला नलिएको रगतको म बदला लिनेछु, किनकि परमप्रभु सियोनमा बास गर्नुहुन्छ ।”
And I will cleanse their blood, which I had not cleansed. And the Lord will remain in Zion.
