1 मैले भनेँ, “अब सुन, ए याकूबका अगुवाहरू र इस्राएलका घरानाका शासकहरू, के इन्साफलाई बुझ्नु तिमीहरूका निम्ति ठिक होइन र?
I said, “Please listen, you heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: Isn’t it for you to know justice?
2 तिमीहरू जसले असल कुरालाई घृणा गर्छौ र दुष्‍टलाई रुचाउँछौ, तिमीहरू जसले तिनीहरूका छालालाई काढ्‍दछौ, र तिनीहरूका हड्‍डीबाट मासुलाई अलग गर्दछौ,
You who hate the good, and love the evil; who tear off their skin, 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 peel their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as meat within the cauldron.
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 they will cry to the LORD, but he will not answer them. Yes, he will hide his face from them at that time, because they made their deeds evil.”
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 ।
The LORD says concerning the prophets who lead my people astray—for those who feed their teeth, they proclaim, “Peace!” and whoever doesn’t provide for their mouths, 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 is over you, with no vision, and it is dark to you, that you may not divine; and the sun will go down on the prophets, and the day will be black over them.
7 दर्शन देख्‍नेहरू शर्ममा पर्नेछन्, र भविष्यवक्ताहरू भ्रमित हुनेछन् । तिनीहरू सबैले आफ्ना मुख छोप्‍नेछन्, किनभने मबाट कुनै जवाफ आउनेछैन ।”
The seers shall be disappointed, and the diviners confounded. Yes, they shall all cover their lips, for there is no answer from God.”
8 तर याकूबलाई त्यसको अपराध र इस्राएललाई त्यसको पापको घोषणा गर्न मचाहिँ परमप्रभुको आत्माद्वारा शक्ति, न्याय र पराक्रमले भरिपूर्ण छु ।
But as for me, I am full of power by the LORD’s Spirit, and of judgement, and of might, to declare to Jacob his disobedience, 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 ।
Please listen to this, you heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, who abhor justice, and pervert all equity,
10 तिमीहरूले सियोनलाई रगतद्धारा र यरूशलेमलाई अधर्मद्धारा निर्माण गर्छौ ।
who 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 ।”
Her leaders judge for bribes, and her priests teach for a price, and her prophets of it tell fortunes for money; yet they lean on the LORD, and say, “Isn’t the LORD amongst us? No disaster will come on us.”
12 यसैकारण, तिमीहरूको कारण, सियोन जोतिएको खेतझैँ हुनेछ, यरूशलेम भग्‍नावशेषको थुप्रो हुनेछ, र मन्दिरको डाँडाचाहिँ घना जङ्गल हुनेछ ।
Therefore Zion for your sake will be ploughed like a field, and Jerusalem will become heaps of rubble, and the mountain of the temple like the high places of a forest.
