< मिका 6 >
1 अब परमप्रभु के भन्नुहुन्छ त्यो सुन, “उठ र आफ्नो विषयमा पर्वतहरूलाई बताओ; पहाडहरूले तिमीहरूको आवाज सुनून् ।
Pay attention to what Yahweh says [to you Israeli people]: “Stand up [in court] and state what you are accusing [me] about. And allow the hills and mountains to hear what you will say.
2 ए पर्वतहरू र पृथ्वीका बलिया जगहरू परमप्रभुको अभियोगलाई सुन । किनभने आफ्ना मानिसहरूको विरुद्ध परमप्रभुको एउटा अभियोग छ, र उहाँ इस्राएलको विरुद्ध न्यायलयमा लड्नुहुनेछ ।”
[But then] you mountains must [also] listen [carefully] [DOU] to what I, Yahweh, am complaining [about my people]. I have something to say about what [DOU] my Israeli people are doing that displeases me.
3 “मेरा मानिस हो, मैले तिमीहरूलाई के गरेको छु? मैले तिमीहरूलाई कसरी थकित पारेको छु? मेरो विरुद्धमा साक्षी देओ!
My people, what have I done to [cause trouble for] you [RHQ]? What have I done to cause you to experience difficulties? Answer me!
4 किनभने मैले तिमीहरूलाई मिश्र देशबाट बाहिर ल्याएँ र दासत्वको घरबाट बचाएँ । मैले मोशा, हारून, र मिरियमलाई तिमीहरूकहाँ पठाएँ ।
I [did great things for your ancestors]; I brought them out of Egypt; I rescued them from that land where they were slaves. I sent Moses to [lead] them, and [his older brother] Aaron and [his older sister] Miriam.
5 मेरा मानिस हो, तिमीहरू शित्तीमदेखि गिलगालसम्म जाँदा, मोआबका राजा बालाकले कल्पना गरेका कुरा, र बओरको छोरो बालामले कसरी जवाफ दिएका थिए त्यो सम्झ, ताकि तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुका धार्मिक कामहरू जान्न सक ।”
My people, think about when Balak, the king of Moab, requested Beor’s son Balaam [to curse your ancestors], and think about what Balaam replied. Think about [how your ancestors crossed the Jordan River miraculously while] they were traveling from Acacia to Gilgal. [Think about those things in order] that you may know that [I], Yahweh, do what is right.”
6 उच्च परमेश्वरकहाँ म निहुरिँदा, मैले परमप्रभुकहाँ के लैजाऊँ? के म उहाँकहाँ एक वर्षे बाछाहरूका होमबलि लिएर आऊँ?
[The Israeli people ask, ] “What shall we bring to Yahweh [who lives in] heaven when we come to him and bow down before him? Should we bring calves that are a year-old that will be offerings that will be [killed and] completely burned [on the altar]?
7 के परमप्रभु हजारौँ भेडाहरुद्धारा, वा तेलका दश हजार नदीहरुद्धारा प्रसन्न हुनुहुन्छ? के मेरा अपराधहरूका निम्ति र मेरो आफ्नै पापको निम्ति मेरो जेठो छोरो, मेरो शरीरको फल चढाऊँ?
Will Yahweh be pleased [if we offer to him] 1,000 rams and 10,000 streams of [olive] oil? Should we offer our firstborn children [to be sacrifices] to pay for the sins that we have committed [DOU]?”
8 ए मानिस, उहाँले तँलाई जे असल छ त्यो, र तँबाट परमप्रभुले चाहनुभएको कुरा बताउनुभएको छ । न्यायपूर्ण काम गर, कृपालाई प्रेम गर, र आफ्ना परमेश्वरसँग नम्र भएर हिँड ।
[No, because] he has shown each of us what is good [to do]; he has shown [RHQ] us what he requires each of us [to do]: He wants us to do what is just/fair and to love and to be merciful [to others], and [he wants us] to live humbly [while we fellowship] with him, our God.
9 परमप्रभुको आवाजले सहरलाई एउटा घोषणा गर्दै छ - विवेकले तपाईंको नाउँलाई स्वीकार्दछ: “छडीलाई र त्यो ठाउँमा राख्नेलाई ध्यान देओ ।
“I am Yahweh, so if you are wise, you should revere me. I am calling out to [you people of] Jerusalem, ‘The armies [MET] that will destroy your city are coming, so pay careful attention to me, the one who is causing them to punish you with my rod.
10 बेइमान दुष्टका घरानाहरूमा सम्पत्तिहरू छन्, र त्यहाँ झुटा कुराहरू छन्, जुन घृणास्पद छन् ।
Do you think that [RHQ] I should forget that you wicked people filled your homes with valuable things that you acquired by cheating [others]? Do you think that [RHQ] I should forget that you used false measures [when you bought and sold things]? Those are things that I hate.
11 यदि कसैले छलपूर्ण तराजू र कपटपूर्ण ढक प्रयोग गर्छ भने के मैले त्यसलाई निर्दोष मान्ने?
[Do you think] that [RHQ] I should say nothing about people who use scales that do not weigh correctly, and who use weights that are not accurate?
12 धनी मानिसहरू हिंसाले भरिएका छन्, त्यसका निवासीहरू झुट बोल्छन्, र तिनीहरूका मुखमा तिनीहरूका जिब्रा छलपूर्ण छन् ।
The rich people among you always act violently [to get money from poor people]. All of the people [in Jerusalem] are liars, and they [SYN] always deceive people.
13 यसैकारण म तिमीहरूलाई भयङ्कर रूपमा प्रहार गर्नेछु, र तिमीहरूका पापको कारण म तिमीहरूलाई उजाड बनाउनेछु ।
Therefore, I have [already] begun to get rid of you, to ruin you because of the sins that you have committed.
14 तिमीहरूले खानेछौ तर तृप्त हुनेछैनौ; तिमीहरूको खालीपन तिमीहरूभित्रै रहनेछ । तिमीहरू वस्तुहरू संचय गर्नेछौ तर जोगाउनेछैनौ, र तिमीहरूले जे जोगाउँछौ, त्यो म तरवारलाई दिनेछु ।
[Soon] you will eat food, but you will not have enough to satisfy you; your stomachs will [still feel as though they are] empty. You will try to save up [money], but you will not be able to save anything, because I will send your enemies to take it from you in wars [MTY].
15 तिमीहरूले छर्नेछौ तर कटनी गर्नेछैनौ । तिमीहरूले जैतूनको तेल निकाल्नेछौ तर त्यस तेलले आफैँलाई अभिषेक गर्नेछैनौ । तिमीहरूले दाख पेल्नेछौ तर मद्य भने पिउनेछैनौ ।
You will plant [seeds], but you will not harvest [anything]. You will press olives, but [others], not you, will use the [olive] oil. You will trample on grapes [and make wine from the juice], but [others], not you, will drink the wine.
16 ओम्रीका नियमहरू, र आहाबका घरानाका सबै कामहरू पालना भएका छन् । यसैकारण म तिमीहरूको सहरलाई भग्नावशेष बनाउनेछु, र त्यहाँका बासिन्दाहरूलाई खिसीको पात्रो बनाउनेछु, र मेरा मानिसहरूबाट तिमीहरूले निन्दा सहनेछौ ।”
[Those things will happen to you because] you obey [only] the wicked laws of [King] Omri, and [you do the terrible things that wicked King] Ahab and his descendants commanded. So, I will destroy your [country], and I will cause your people to be despised; people [of other nations] will insult you.’”
