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 shall bring back the captivity of Juda 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 together all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Josaphat: and I will plead with them there for my people, and for my inheritance Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and have parted 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 upon my people: and the boy they have put in the stews, and the girl they have sold for wine, 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 ।

But what have you to do with me, O Tyre, and Sidon, and all the coast of the Philistines? will you revenge yourselves on me? and if you revenge yourselves on me, I will very soon return you a recompense upon your own head.

5 किनकि तिमीहरूले मेरो चाँदी र सुन लग्‍यौ, र मेरा बहुमुल्य धनसम्पत्ति तिमीहरूले आफ्ना मन्दिरहरूमा लग्‍यौ ।

For you have taken away my silver and my gold: and my desirable and most beautiful things you have carried into your temples.

6 यहूदा र यरूशलेमका मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूका इलाकाबाट टाढा हटाउनलाई, तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई ग्रीकहरूका हातमा बेचिदियौ ।

And the children of Juda, and the children of Jerusalem you have sold to the children of the Greeks, that you might remove them far off from their own country.

7 हेर, तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई बेचेका ठाउँबाट, म तिनीहरूलाई माथि उठाउनेछु, र तिमीहरूकै टाउकोमा त्‍यसको मुल्‍य चुकाउनेछु ।

Behold, I will raise them up out of the place wherein you have sold them: and I will return your recompense upon your own heads.

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 by the hands of the children of Juda, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, a nation far off, for the Lord hath spoken it.

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 ye this among the nations: prepare war, rouse up the strong: let them come, let all the men of war come up.

10 आफ्ना फालीहरू पिटेर तरवारहरू बनाओ र छिमल्ने खुकुरीहरू पिटेर भालाहरू बनाओ । कमजोरले भनोस्, ‘म बलियो छु ।’

Cut your ploughshares into swords, and your spades into spears. Let the weak say: 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 forth, and come, all ye nations, from round about, and gather yourselves together: there will the Lord cause all thy strong ones to fall down.

12 जातिहरूले आफैंलाई जगाऊन् र यहोशापातको बेसीमा उक्‍लेर आऊन् । किनकि वरिपरिका सबै जातिको न्‍याय गर्न, म त्यहीं बस्‍नेछु ।

Let them arise, and let the nations come up into the valley of Josaphat: for there I will sit to judge all nations round about.

13 हँसिया बोक, किनकि फसल पाकेको छ । आओ, दाखहरूलाई पेल, किनको दाखको कोल भरिएको छ । घ्‍याम्‍पोहरू भरिएर पोखिन्‍छन्, किनकि तिनीहरूका दुष्‍टता विशाल छ ।”

Put ye in the sickles, for the harvest is ripe: come and go down, for the press is full, the fats run over: for their wickedness is multiplied.

14 त्‍यहाँ होहल्‍ला छ, इन्साफको बेसीमा कोलाहल छ । किनकि इन्साफको बेसीमा परमप्रभुको दिन नजिकै छ ।

Nations, nations in the valley of destruction: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of destruction.

15 सुर्य र चन्द्रमा अन्धकार हुन्छन्, र ताराहरूले आफ्नो चमक लुकाउँछन् ।

The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars have withdrawn their shining.

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 shall roar out of Sion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem: and the heavens and the earth shall be moved, and the Lord shall be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children 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 shall know that I am the Lord your God, dwelling in Sion my holy mountain: and Jerusalem shall be holy and strangers shall pass through it no more.

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 shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down sweetness, and the hills shall flow with milk: and waters shall flow through all the rivers of Juda: and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the Lord, and shall water the torrent 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 shall be a desolation, and Edom a wilderness destroyed: because they have done unjustly against the children of Juda, and have shed innocent blood in their land.

20 तर यहूदामा सधैं मानिसहरू बसोबास गर्नेछन्, र यरूशलेममा चाहिं पुस्तादेखि पुस्तासम्म बसोबास हुनेछ ।

And Judea shall be inhabited for ever, and Jerusalem to generation and 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 dwell in Sion.
