योएल 3

1 हेर, ती दिनमा र त्‍यो समयमा, यहूदा र यरूशलेमका निर्वासितहरूलाई मैले फर्काउँदा,

[Yahweh says this]: “At that time [DOU], I will enable [the people of] Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah to prosper again.

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 ।

[Then] in the Valley of Judgment I will gather together [the people of] all the [other] nations; I will judge [and punish] them because they scattered my Israeli people and forced them to go to other countries. They divided up 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 (threw marked stones/cast lots) to determine who would get [each of] my people. Then they sold [some of] the Israeli boys and girls [to get money to pay] for prostitutes and wine to 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 ।

You [people of] [APO] Tyre and Sidon [cities] and [you people of] the Philistia [region], I certainly have not [RHQ] done anything to harm you! [So] if you are trying to get revenge on me, I will very quickly get revenge on you.

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

You have taken the silver and gold and [other] things from my temple and put them in your temples.

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

[You dragged away] the people of Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah, and you took them far away and sold them to people in Greece.

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

But I will cause my people to want to return from the places to which you sold them, and I will do to you what you did to them.

8 यहूदाका मानिसहरूका हातद्वारा, तिमीहरूका छोराहरू र छोरीहरूलाई म बेचिदिनेछु । टाढाको जाति शबाहरूका हातमा, तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई बेच्नेछन्, किनकि परमप्रभुले बोल्‍नुभएको छ ।”

Then I will cause [some of] your sons and your daughters to be sold to the people of Judah! And [some of] them will be sold to the Sabea people-group, who live far away. [That will certainly happen because I], Yahweh, have said 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 to the [people of all] nations, “Prepare for a war! Summon your soldiers, and tell them to stand in their battle positions.

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

[Take] your plows and make swords from them, and [take] your pruning knives and make spears from them. [Even] the weak people must [also] be like [MET] [strong] soldiers.

11 ए सबै नजिकका जातिहरू, हतार गर र आओ, आफूलाई एकसाथ त्यहाँ भेला पार । हे परमप्रभु, आफ्‍ना शक्तिशाली योद्धाहरूलाई तल ल्याउनुहोस् ।

All you [people from the] nations that are near [Judah] must come quickly and gather [in the Valley of Judgment].” But Yahweh, [when that happens], send your army [of angels to attack them]!

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

The [people in] the nations near [Judah] must get ready and come to the Valley of Judgment. There Yahweh will sit and judge [and punish] them.

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

[They are like] [MET] crops that are ready to be harvested; so [strike them like] [MET] [a farmer] swings his sickle to cut the grain. They are like [MET] grapes that are piled high in the pits where they will be pressed; because they are very wicked, [punish them severely] [MET] now, like [MET] [a farmer] tramples on the grapes until the pits are full of juice.

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

[There will be] huge crowds of people in that Valley of Judgment. It will soon be the time that Yahweh [will punish them].

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

[At that time] there will be no light from the sun or moon, and the stars will not shine.

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 ।

From Zion [Hill] in Jerusalem Yahweh will shout, and his voice will be like thunder, and his voice will cause the sky and the earth to shake. But Yahweh will protect [MET] his people; he will be like [MET] a strong wall behind which the people of Israel will be protected.

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 ।

[Yahweh says], “At that time, you Israeli people will know that I am Yahweh, your God. I live on Zion, my sacred hill. Jerusalem will be a sacred [city], and [soldiers from] other countries will never conquer it again.

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 ।

At that time, there will be vineyards covering [MTY] the hills, and [your cattle and goats on] those hills will produce plenty of milk. The streams in Judah will never dry up. And a stream will flow from my temple into the Acacia Valley [northeast of the Dead Sea].

19 यहूदाका मानिसहरूमाथि अत्याचार गरिएको हुनाले, तिनीहरूले आफ्नो देशमा निर्दोष रगत बगाएको हुनाले, मिश्र त्‍यागिएर उजाड हुनेछ, र एदोमचाहिं त्यागिएको उजाड-स्‍थान हुनेछ ।

[The armies of] Egypt and Edom attacked the people of Judah and killed [MTY] many people who had not done anything that was wrong. So [now] those countries will become deserts,

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

but there will always be people living in Jerusalem and [in other places] in Judea.

21 मैले बदला नलिएको रगतको म बदला लिनेछु, किनकि परमप्रभु सियोनमा बास गर्नुहुन्‍छ ।”

[I], Yahweh, live on Zion [Hill in Jerusalem], and I will get revenge on the people [of Egypt and Edom] who killed [MTY] [many of my people].”
