मिका 7
1 हाय म! म ग्रीष्म ऋतुमा बटुलिएको फलझैँ भएको छु, र रस निकालिएको दाखझैँ भएको छु । त्यहाँ खानलाई दाखको झुप्पा छैन, र मेरो प्राणले इच्छा गरेकोजस्तो पहिले नै पाकेको अन्जीर पनि छैन ।
Woe is me! I have become like the gathering of summer fruit, and like the grapes that have been gleaned; there is no grape cluster to eat, no ripe early fig that my soul desires.
2 भुमिबाट विश्वसनीय मानिसहरू बिलिन भएका छन् । सारा मानवजातिमा कोही सोझो मानिस छैन । तिनीहरू सबै रक्तपातको निम्ति पर्खिरहन्छन् । हरेकले आफ्नो दाजुभाइलाई जालले शिकार गर्दछ ।
Faithful people have disappeared from the land; there is no upright person in all mankind. They all lie in wait to shed blood; each one hunts his own brother with a net.
3 तिनीहरूका हातहरू हानी गर्नलाई पोक्त छन् । शासकले पैसा माग्दछन्, न्यायकर्ता घूस लिनको निम्ति तयार छन्, र शक्तिशाली मानिसले आफूले प्राप्त गर्न चाहेको कुरा अरूहरूसँग माग्दछ । यसरी तिनीहरू एकसाथ षड्यन्त्र रच्छन् ।
Their hands are very good at doing harm: the ruler asks for money, the judge is ready for bribes, and the powerful man is saying to others what he wants to obtain. Thus they plot together.
4 तिनीहरूमध्येको उत्कृष्टचाहिँ काँडाझैँ छ, सबैभन्दा सोझोचाहिँ काँडाको झाँगभन्दा पनि खराब छ । तिमीहरूका पहरेदारहरूले पहिले नै बताएको दिन, तिमीहरूको दण्डको दिन यही हो । अब यो तिनीहरूको भ्रमको समय हो ।
The best of them is like a brier, the most upright is worse than a thorn hedge. It is the day foretold by your watchmen, the day of your punishment. Now is the time of their confusion.
5 कुनै पनि छिमेकीमाथि विश्वास नगर्नू । कुनै साथिमाथि भरोसा नगर्नू । तिम्रा अङ्गालोमा बस्ने स्त्रीसँग पनि होसियारसँग बोल्नू ।
Do not trust any neighbor; put no confidence in any friend. Be careful about what you say even to the woman who lies in your arms.
6 किनभने छोरोले आफ्ना बुबाको अनादर गर्दछ, छोरी आफ्नी आमाको विरुद्धमा उठ्छे, र बुहारी सासूको विरुद्ध । मानिसको शत्रु आफ्नै घरका मानिसहरू हुन् ।
For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises up against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man's enemies are the people of his own house.
7 तर मचाहिँ परमप्रभुतर्फ आँखा लगाउँछु । म मेरो मुक्तिको परमेश्वरको पर्खाइमा छु, मेरा परमेश्वरले मलाई सुन्नुहुन्छ ।
But as for me, I will look to Yahweh. I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.
8 ए मेरो शत्रु, मलाई देखेर रमाहट नगर् । म लडेपछि, फेरि उठ्नेछु । जब म अन्धकारमा बस्दछु, परमप्रभु मेरो निम्ति ज्योति हुनुहुनेछ ।
Do not rejoice over me, my enemy. After I fall, I will rise. When I sit in darkness, Yahweh will be a light for me.
9 मैले परमप्रभुको विरुद्ध पाप गरेको कारणले, उहाँले मेरो विषयमा वकालत नगर्नुभएसम्म, र मेरो निम्ति इन्साफ नगर्नुभएसम्म मैले उहाँको क्रोध सहनेछु ।
Because I sinned against Yahweh, I will bear his rage until he pleads my cause, and executes judgment for me. He will bring me to the light, and I will see him rescue me in his justice.
10 अनि मेरो शत्रुले त्यो देख्नेछ, र “परमप्रभु तेरो परमेश्वर कहाँ छ?” भनेर भन्नेलाई शर्मले ढाक्नेछ । मेरा आँखाले त्यसलाई हेर्नेछन् । सडकहरूका माटोझैँ त्यो कुल्चिनेछे ।
Then my enemy will see it, and shame will cover the one who said to me, “Where is Yahweh your God?” My eyes will look at her; she will be trampled down like the mud in the streets.
11 तिमीहरूका पर्खालहरू निर्माण गर्ने दिन आउनेछ । त्यस दिनमा सिमानाहरू टाढा-टाढासम्म विस्तार हुनेछन् ।
A day to build your walls will come; on that day the boundaries will be extended very far.
12 त्यस दिन अश्शूर र मिश्रका शहरहरुबाट, मिश्रदेखि यूफ्रेटिस नदीसम्म, समुद्रदेखि समुद्रसम्म, र पर्वतदेखि पर्वतसम्म मानिसहरू तिमीहरूकहाँ आउनेछन् ।
On that day your people will come to you, from Assyria and the cities in Egypt, from Egypt to the River, from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
13 तर भुमि भने त्यसमा बसोबास गर्ने मानिसहरूका कारण, र तिनीहरूका कामका प्रतिफलको कारण उजाड हुनेछ ।
But the land will be desolate because of the people who are living there, because of the fruit of their actions.
14 आफ्ना मानिसहरू, अर्थात् तपाईंका उत्तराधिकारको बगाललाई आफ्नो छडीले नियन्त्रण गर्नुहोस् । तिनीहरू एक्लै खर्कको बिचमा, र जङ्गलमा बस्छन् । पुराना दिनहरूमा झैँ तिनीहरूलाई बाशान र गिलादमा चर्न दिनुहोस् ।
Shepherd your people with your rod, the flock of your inheritance. They live alone in a thicket, in the midst of a pastureland. Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead as in the old days.
15 मिश्रको भुमिबाट तिमीहरू बाहिर आएका दिनमा झैँ, म तिनीहरूलाई आश्चर्य कामहरू देखाउनेछु ।
As in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt, I will show them wonders.
16 जाति-जातिहरूले यो देख्नेछन् र आफ्ना शक्तिमाथि लज्जित हुनेछन् । तिनीहरूले केही बोल्नेछैनन्, र तिनीहरू बहिरा हुनेछन् ।
The nations will see and be ashamed of all their power. They will put their hands on their mouths; their ears will be deaf.
17 तिनीहरूले सर्पले झैँ धुलो चाट्नेछन्, माटोमा घस्रने प्राणीझैँ तिनीहरूले गर्नेछन् । तिनीहरू आफ्ना गुफाहरूबाट डरसाथ निस्कनेछन् । परमप्रभु, हाम्रा परमेश्वर, तपाईंकहाँ तिनीहरू डरसाथ आउनेछन्, र तिनीहरू तपाईंको कारण भयभीत हुनेछन् ।
They will lick the dust like a snake, like creatures that crawl on the earth. They will come out of their dens with fear; they will come with fear to you, Yahweh our God, and they will be afraid because of you.
18 तपाईंझैँ परमेश्वर को छ, जसले पापलाई मेटाउनुहुन्छ, र आफ्नो उत्तराधिकारका बाँकी रहेकाहरूको अपराध क्षमा गर्नुहुन्छ? उहाँ सदाको निम्ति रिसाउनुहुन्न, किनभने उहाँ आफ्नो करारको विश्वसनीयतामा खुशी हुनुहुन्छ ।
Who is a God like you— who takes away sin, who passes over the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? He does not keep his anger forever, because he delights in his covenant faithfulness.
19 तपाईंले फेरि हामीमाथि दया देखाउनुहुनेछ । तपाईंले हाम्रा अपराधहरूलाई आफ्ना पाऊमुनि कुल्चनुहुनेछ । तपाईंले हाम्रा सबै पापहरूललाई समुद्रको गहिराइमा फ्याँकिदिनुहुनेछ ।
You will again have compassion on us; you will trample our iniquities under your feet. You will throw all our sins into the depths of the sea.
20 प्राचीन दिनहरूमा तपाईंले हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूसँग प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ तपाईंले याकूबलाई सत्यता र अब्राहामलाई करारको विश्वसनीयता दिनुहुनेछ ।
You will give truth to Jacob and covenant faithfulness to Abraham, as you swore to our ancestors in ancient days.
