1 धिक्‍कार तिनीहरूलाई जसले अधर्मको योजना बनाउँछन्, जसले आफ्ना ओछ्यानमा दुष्‍ट काम गर्ने योजना बनाउँछन् । बिहानीको उज्यालोमा तिनीहरू यस्तो गर्छन् किनभने तिनीहरूसँग सामर्थ छ ।
Terrible things will happen to you who lie awake at night, planning to do wicked things. You get up at dawn, and you do those things, [as soon as] you are able to do them.
2 तिनीहरू भुमिहरूको लोभ गर्छन् र ती आफ्नो कब्जामा गर्छन्; तिनीहरू घरहरूको लोभ गर्छन् र ती आफ्नो बनाउँछन् । तिनीहरूले मानिस र त्यसको घर अनि त्यसको उत्तराधिकारमाथि शासन गर्छन् ।
You want fields [that belong to other people], so you seize them; you also take their houses. You cheat people to get their homes, taking away the property that belongs to their families.
3 यसैकारण परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “हेर, यस वंशको विरुद्ध म सर्वनाश ल्याउँदै छु, र त्यसबाट तिमीहरू उम्कन सक्‍नेछैनौ । तिमीहरू घमण्डसाथ हिँड्नेछैनौ, किनकि त्यो खराब समय हुनेछ ।
Therefore, this is what Yahweh says: “I will cause you people to experience disasters, and you will not be able to escape [MTY] from them. You will no [longer] walk around proudly, because when those things happen, it will be a time of much trouble for you.
4 त्यस दिन मानिसहरूले तिमीहरूबारे गीत गाउनेछन्, र विलापको रुवाबासीसहित तिनीहरू विलाप गर्नेछन् । तिनीहरू यसरी गाउनेछन्, ‘हामी इस्राएलीहरू पूर्ण रूपमा नष्‍ट भएका छौँ । परमप्रभुले मेरा मानिसहरूको इलाका परिवर्तन गर्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले कसरी त्यो मबाट हटाउनुहुनेछ? उहाँले हाम्रो भुमि धोका दिनेहरूलाई बाँडिदिनुहुनेछ!’”
At that time, [your enemies] will make fun of you; they will ridicule you by singing this sad song about you: ‘We are completely ruined; Yahweh is taking our land/fields from us, and he will give it to those who will capture us.’”
5 यसैकारण, परमप्रभुको समुदायमा चिट्ठा हालेर आफ्नो इलाका बाँड्नको निम्ति धनी मानिसहरूसँग उत्तराधिकारीहरू हुनेछैनन् ।
So [when it is the time for the land to be given back to you] people who belong to Yahweh, there will be no one [MTY] who will be able to (cast lots/throw marked stones) to determine which land belongs to whom.
6 “अगमवाणी नगर” भनेर तिनीहरू भन्‍नेछन् । “तिनीहरूले यस्ता कुराहरूको अगमवाणी गर्नुहुँदैन; तिरस्कार हामीमाथि आउनेछैन ।”
The people [who heard me say that] replied to me, “Do not prophesy such things! Do not say that [Yahweh] is going to humiliate us [by causing us to experience disasters]!”
7 याकूबको घराना, के साँच्‍चै यस्तो भनिनुपर्छ, “के परमप्रभुको आत्मा रिसाउनुभएको छ? के यी उहाँका कामहरू हुन्?” के सिधा हिँड्ने मानिसको निम्ति मेरो वचनले असल काम गर्दैन र?
But you people [MTY] of Israel should not [RHQ] talk like that! The Spirit of Yahweh will certainly not [RHQ] be patient [with people who say such things]! People who continually do things that are righteous will certainly [RHQ] like/appreciate what I say.
8 अहिले मेरा मानिसहरू शत्रुझैँ जागेका छन् । युद्धबाट फर्केका सैनिकहरू तिनीहरूले सुरक्षित ठानेको ठाउँमा गएझैँ शङ्का नगरी नजिकबाट जानेहरूबाट तिमीहरू तिनीहरूको वस्‍त्र अर्थात् लबेदा खोस्छौ ।
[But Yahweh says], “[Recently] my people have been acting toward me like an enemy. When soldiers return from fighting [against their enemies], you [rich people refuse to return the coats of those poor soldiers who have borrowed money from you] [and given you their coats to guarantee that they will pay back the money that they borrowed from you]. [It is as though] you are waiting to forcefully take their coats off their backs!
9 तिमीहरूले मेरा मानिसहरूका स्‍त्रीहरूलाई तिनीहरूका सुखद घरहरूबाट निकाल्‍दछौ; तिनीहरूका साना छोराछोरीहरूबाट मेरो आशिषलाई तिमीहरू सदाको निम्ति खोस्दछौ ।
You have forced women to leave their nice homes, and you have stolen from their children forever the (blessings/good things) that I wanted to give them.
10 उठ र जाओ, किनभने त्यसको अशुद्धताको कारण यो ठाउँ तिमीहरू बस्‍न मिल्‍ने ठाउँ होइन । त्यो पूर्ण रूपमा सर्वनाश भएको छ ।
[So] get up and leave [here]! This is not a place where you can rest [and be safe/protected], because you have (defiled it/caused it to be a place that I hate); it will be completely destroyed.
11 यदि कोही झुट र असत्यताको आत्मामा तिमीहरूकहाँ आएर “म मद्य र कडा मदिराको विषयमा तिम्रो निम्ति अगमवाणी बोल्‍नेछु,” भनेर भन्दछ भने त्यसका मानिसहरूको निम्ति त्यो अगमवक्‍ता हुनेछ ।
[You people want] a prophet who will lie to you, saying ‘I will preach [that you should drink] plenty of wine and [other] alcoholic drinks!’ That is the [kind of] prophet who [would please] you.”
12 याकूब, म निश्‍चय नै तिमीहरू सबैलाई एकसाथ भेला गराउनेछु । म निश्‍चय नै इस्राएलका बाँकी रहेकाहरूलाई एकसाथ भेला गराउनेछु । गोठको भेडाझैँ, तिनीहरूको खर्कको बिचमा भएको बगालझैँ म तिनीहरूलाई एकसाथ ल्याउनेछु । मानिसहरूको ठुलो सङ्ख्याको कारण त्यहाँ ठुलो आवाज हुनेछ ।
“[But some day], you descendants of Jacob, you Israeli people who have survived, I will bring you back [from (exile/other countries)], I will gather you together like [SIM] [a shepherd gathers his] sheep from the pasture into a pen [DOU]; there will be many of you in your land/country.
13 तिनीहरूका निम्ति मार्ग खुला गरिदिनेचाहिँ तिनीहरूभन्दा अगि जानेछ । तिनीहरू ढोका भत्‍काएर बाहिर जान्छन्, र तिनीहरूका राजा तिनीहरूभन्दा अगाडि जानेछन् । तिनीहरू सबैभन्दा अगाडि परमप्रभु हुनुहुनेछ ।
Your leader will enable them to leave the countries where they have been exiled; he will lead them out of the gates [of their enemies’ cities], [back to your own country]. Your king will lead them; [it is I], Yahweh, who will be their king!”
