< 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, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and all of you princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment?
2 तिमीहरू जसले असल कुरालाई घृणा गर्छौ र दुष्टलाई रुचाउँछौ, तिमीहरू जसले तिनीहरूका छालालाई काढ्दछौ, र तिनीहरूका हड्डीबाट मासुलाई अलग गर्दछौ,
Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off 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 also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
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 unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
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 says the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people go astray, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that puts not into their mouths, they even 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 unto you, that all of you shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that all of you shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
7 दर्शन देख्नेहरू शर्ममा पर्नेछन्, र भविष्यवक्ताहरू भ्रमित हुनेछन् । तिनीहरू सबैले आफ्ना मुख छोप्नेछन्, किनभने मबाट कुनै जवाफ आउनेछैन ।”
Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for 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 truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, 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, I pray you, all of you heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that detest judgment, and pervert all equity.
10 तिमीहरूले सियोनलाई रगतद्धारा र यरूशलेमलाई अधर्मद्धारा निर्माण गर्छौ ।
They build up Zion 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 ।”
The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.
12 यसैकारण, तिमीहरूको कारण, सियोन जोतिएको खेतझैँ हुनेछ, यरूशलेम भग्नावशेषको थुप्रो हुनेछ, र मन्दिरको डाँडाचाहिँ घना जङ्गल हुनेछ ।
Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.
