योएल 1
1 पतुएलका छोरा योएलकहाँ आएको परमप्रभु वचन यही हो ।
The word of the Lord which came to Joel, the son of Pethuel.
2 ए धर्मगुरुहरू हो, यो कुरा सुन, र ए देशका सबै बासिन्दाहरू हो ध्यानसँग सुन । तिमीहरूका दिनमा वा तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूका दिनमा कहिल्यै यस्तो भएको छ?
Give ear to this, you old men, and take note, you people of the land. Has this ever been in your days, or in the days of your fathers?
3 यसको विषयमा आफ्ना छोराछोरीलाई भन, र तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीले आफ्ना छोराछोरीलाई भनून्, र तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीले अर्को पुस्तालाई भनून् ।
Give the story of it to your children, and let them give it to their children, and their children to another generation.
4 बथानमा हिंड्ने सलहहरूले जे बाँकी छोडेका छन्, ती ठुला सलहले खाएका छन्, ठुला सलहले जे बाँकी छोडेका छन् ती फट्याङ्ग्राले खाएका छन्, र फट्याङ्ग्राले जे बाँकी छोडेका छन् ती झुसिल्किराले खाएका छन् ।
What the worm did not make a meal of, has been taken by the locust; and what the locust did not take, has been food for the plant-worm; and what the plant-worm did not take, has been food for the field-fly.
5 ए मद्यले मातेकाहरू हो, उठ र रोओ! ए दाखमद्य पिउनेहरू, सबै विलाप गर, किनभने मिठो दाखमद्यलाई तिमीहरूबाट खोसिएको छ ।
Come out of your sleep, you who are overcome with wine, and give yourselves to weeping; give cries of sorrow, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine; for it has been cut off from your mouths.
6 किनकि मेरो देशमा एउटा जाति आएको छ, बलियो र अनगिन्ती छ । त्यसका दाँत सिंहका दाँतझैं छन्, र त्यसका दाह्रा सिंहनीका झैं छन् ।
For a nation has come up over my land, strong and without number; his teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the back teeth of a great lion.
7 त्यसले मेरो दाखबारीलाई उजाड ठाउँ बनाएको छ र मेरो नेभाराका बोटलाई लाछेर नाङ्गो पारेको छ । त्यसका बोक्राहरू त्यसले ताछेको छ र टाढा फालेको छ, र हाँगाहरू केवल सेता मात्र छन् ।
By him my vine is made waste and my fig-tree broken: he has taken all its fruit and sent it down to the earth; its branches are made white.
8 आफ्नो भर्खरको पतिको मृत्यु भएर भाङ्ग्रा लगाएकी कन्या केटीले झैं विलाप गर ।
Make sounds of grief like a virgin dressed in haircloth for the husband of her early years.
9 परमप्रभुको मन्दिरबाट अन्नबलि र अर्घबलि हटाइएका छन् । परमप्रभुको सेवा गर्ने पुजारीहरू विलाप गर्छन् ।
The meal offering and the drink offering have been cut off from the house of the Lord; the priests, the Lord's servants, are sorrowing.
10 खेतहरू सखाप पारिएका छन्, र अन्नहरू नष्ट पारिएका हुनाले भूमिले विलाप गर्दैछ । नयाँ दाखमद्य सुकेको छ, तेल बाँकी छैन ।
The fields are wasted, the land has become dry; for the grain is wasted, the new wine is kept back, the oil is poor.
11 ए किसानहरू हो, लज्जित होओ, र दाखबारी लगाउनेहरू हो, विलाप गर । किनभने भूमिको उब्जनी नष्ट भएको छ । गहुँ र जौका बढिरहेका छैनन् ।
The farmers are shamed, the workers in the vine-gardens give cries of grief, for the wheat and the barley; for the produce of the fields has come to destruction.
12 दाखका बोटहरू ओइलाएका छन् र नेभाराका बोटहरू सुकेका छन्, र अनार बोटहरू, खजूर बोटहरू र स्याउको बोटहरू, खेतबारीका सबै बोटहरू ओइलाएका छन् । किनभने मानवजातिका सन्तानबाट आनन्द विलाएर गएको छ ।
The vine has become dry and the fig-tree is feeble; the pomegranate and the palm-tree and the apple-tree, even all the trees of the field, are dry: because joy has gone from the sons of men.
13 ए पुजारीहरू हो, भाङ्ग्रा लगाओ र विलाप गर! वेदीमा सेवा गर्नेहरू हो, विलाप गर । ए मेरा परमेश्वरका सेवा गर्नेहरू हो, आओ, र रातभर भाङ्ग्रा लगाएर बस । किनभने तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको मन्दिरबाट अन्नबलि र अर्घबलि हटाइएका छन् ।
Put haircloth round you and give yourselves to sorrow, you priests; give cries of grief, you servants of the altar: come in, and, clothed in haircloth, let the night go past, you servants of my God: for the meal offering and the drink offering have been kept back from the house of your God.
14 पवित्र उपवासको घोषणा गर, र पवित्र सभा आव्हान गर । परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा देशका सबै धर्मगुरुहरू र बासिन्दाहरूलाई भेला गराओ र, अनि परमप्रभुमा पुकार ।
Let a time be fixed for going without food, have a holy meeting, let the old men, even all the people of the land, come together to the house of the Lord your God, crying out to the Lord.
15 हाय! त्यो दिन, किनकि परमप्रभुको दिन नजिकै छ । त्योसँगै सर्वशक्तिमान्बाट विनाश आउनेछ ।
Sorrow for the day! for the day of the Lord is near, and as destruction from the Ruler of all it will come.
16 के हाम्रै आँखाका सामु खानेकुरा, अनि हाम्रा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरबाट आनन्द र रमाहट रोकिएको छैन र?
Is not food cut off before our eyes? joy and delight from the house of our God?
17 माटोका डल्लामुनि बीउहरू सडे, भण्डारहरू उजाड भए, र अन्नका भकारीहरू भत्काइए, किनकि अन्न सुकेको छ ।
The grains have become small and dry under the spade; the store-houses are made waste, the grain-stores are broken down; for the grain is dry and dead.
18 पशुहरू कसरी विलाप् गर्छन्! पाल्तु पशुका बथानहरूले कष्ट भोग्दैछन्, किनकि तिनीहरूका निम्ति खर्क छैन । साथै, भेडाका बगालहरू पनि कष्ट भोग्दैछन् ।
What sounds of pain come from the beasts! the herds of cattle are at a loss because there is no grass for them; even the flocks of sheep are no longer to be seen.
19 हे परमप्रभु, म तपाईंमा पुकारा गर्दछु । किनकि उजाड-स्थानका खर्कहरूलाई आगोले भस्म पारेका छ, र खेतका सबै रूखहरूलाई आगोले जलाएको छ ।
O Lord, my cry goes up to you: for fire has put an end to the grass-lands of the waste, and all the trees of the field are burned with its flame.
20 जमिनका पशुहरू पनि तपाईंका निम्ति तड्पिन्छन्, किनकि पानीका खोलाहरू सुकेका छन्, र उजाड-स्थानका खर्कहरूलाई आगोले भस्म पारेको छ ।
The beasts of the field are turning to you with desire: for the water-streams are dry and fire has put an end to the grass-lands of the waste.
