मिका 3
1 मैले भनेँ, “अब सुन, ए याकूबका अगुवाहरू र इस्राएलका घरानाका शासकहरू, के इन्साफलाई बुझ्नु तिमीहरूका निम्ति ठिक होइन र?
And I said: Hear, O ye princes of Jacob, and ye chiefs of the house of Israel: Is it not your part to know judgment,
2 तिमीहरू जसले असल कुरालाई घृणा गर्छौ र दुष्टलाई रुचाउँछौ, तिमीहरू जसले तिनीहरूका छालालाई काढ्दछौ, र तिनीहरूका हड्डीबाट मासुलाई अलग गर्दछौ,
You that hate good, and love evil: that violently pluck off their skins from them, and their flesh from their bones?
3 तिमीहरु जसले मेरा मानिसहरूका मासु खान्छौ, र तिनीहरूका छाला काढ्छौ, तिनीहरूका हड्डी भाँच्छौ, र तिनीहरूलाई भाँडोमा राख्ने मासु, र खड्कुँलोमा पकाउने मासुझैँ टुक्रा-टुक्रा गर्दछौ ।
Who have eaten the flesh of my people, and have flayed their skin from off them: and have broken, and chopped their bones as for the kettle, and as flesh in the midst of the pot.
4 त्यसपछि तिमी शासकहरूले परमप्रभुलाई पुकार्नेछौ, तर उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई जवाज दिनुहुनेछैन । त्यस बेला उहाँले आफ्नो मुहार तिमीहरूदेखि लुकाउनुहुनेछ किनभने तिमीहरूले दुष्ट कामहरू गरेका छौ ।”
Then shall they cry to the Lord, and he will not hear them: and he will hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved wickedly in their devices.
5 परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्नुहुन्छ, “मेरा मानिसहरूलाई गलत मार्गमा हिँडाउने अगमवक्ताहरू, कसैले तिनीहरूलाई केही खान दिए भने, तिनीहरू ‘शान्ति होस्’ भनेर घोषणा गर्दछन् । तर यदि त्यसले तिनीहरूलाई केही खान दिएन भने, तिनीहरू त्यसको विरुद्ध युद्ध गर्नको निम्ति लागिपर्दछन् ।
Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that make my people err: that bite with their teeth, and preach peace: and if a man give not something into their mouth, they prepare war against him.
6 यसैकारण, तिमीहरूका निम्ति त्यो दर्शनविनाको रात हुनेछ । अनि त्यो यस्तो अन्धकार हुनेछ, कि तिमीहरूले कुनै भविष्यवाणी गर्नेछैनौ । अगमवक्ताहरूका निम्ति सूर्य अस्ताउनेछ, र तिनीहरूमाथि दिन पनि अन्धकार हुनेछ ।
Therefore night shall be to you instead of vision, and darkness to you instead of divination; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be darkened over them.
7 दर्शन देख्नेहरू शर्ममा पर्नेछन्, र भविष्यवक्ताहरू भ्रमित हुनेछन् । तिनीहरू सबैले आफ्ना मुख छोप्नेछन्, किनभने मबाट कुनै जवाफ आउनेछैन ।”
And they shall be confounded that see visions, and the diviners shall be confounded: and they shall all cover their faces, because there is no answer of God.
8 तर याकूबलाई त्यसको अपराध र इस्राएललाई त्यसको पापको घोषणा गर्न मचाहिँ परमप्रभुको आत्माद्वारा शक्ति, न्याय र पराक्रमले भरिपूर्ण छु ।
But yet I am filled with the strength of the spirit of the Lord, with judgment, and power: to declare unto Jacob his wickedness, and to Israel his sin.
9 अब, न्यायलाई घृणा गर्ने, र सबै असल कुरालाई भ्रष्ट गर्ने ए याकूबका घरानाका अगुवाहरू, र इस्राएलका घरानाका शासकहरू, यो सुन ।
Hear this, ye princes of the house of Jacob, and ye judges of the house of Israel: you that abhor judgment, and pervert all that is right.
10 तिमीहरूले सियोनलाई रगतद्धारा र यरूशलेमलाई अधर्मद्धारा निर्माण गर्छौ ।
You that build up Sion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 तिमीहरूका अगुवाहरूले घुस खाएर न्याय गर्छन्, तिमीहरूका पुजारीहरूले मोलको निम्ति शिक्षा दिन्छन्, र तिमीहरूका अगमवक्ताहरूले पैसाको निम्ति अगमवाणी बोल्दछन् । तथापि तिमीहरू परमप्रभुमा भर पर्छौ र भन्छौ, “के परमप्रभु हामीसँग हुनुहुन्न? हामीमाथि कुनै खराबी आइपर्नेछैन ।”
Her princes have judged for bribes, and her priests have taught for hire, and her prophets divined for money: and they leaned upon the Lord, saying: Is not the Lord in the midst of us? no evil shall come upon us.
12 यसैकारण, तिमीहरूको कारण, सियोन जोतिएको खेतझैँ हुनेछ, यरूशलेम भग्नावशेषको थुप्रो हुनेछ, र मन्दिरको डाँडाचाहिँ घना जङ्गल हुनेछ ।
Therefore, because of you, Sion shall be ploughed as a field, and Jerusalem shall be as a heap of stones, and the mountain of the temple as the high places of the forests.
