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 ।
Misery is mine! Indeed, I am like one who gathers the summer fruits, as gleanings of the vineyard. There is no cluster of grapes to eat. My soul desires to eat the early fig.
2 भुमिबाट विश्वसनीय मानिसहरू बिलिन भएका छन् । सारा मानवजातिमा कोही सोझो मानिस छैन । तिनीहरू सबै रक्तपातको निम्ति पर्खिरहन्छन् । हरेकले आफ्नो दाजुभाइलाई जालले शिकार गर्दछ ।
The godly man has perished out of the earth, and there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; every man hunts his 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 on that which is evil to do it diligently. The ruler and judge ask for a bribe. The powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul. Thus they conspire 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. The day of your watchmen, even your visitation, has come; now is the time of their confusion.
5 कुनै पनि छिमेकीमाथि विश्वास नगर्नू । कुनै साथिमाथि भरोसा नगर्नू । तिम्रा अङ्गालोमा बस्ने स्त्रीसँग पनि होसियारसँग बोल्नू ।
Don’t trust in a neighbor. Don’t put confidence in a friend. With the woman lying in your embrace, be careful of the words of your mouth!
6 किनभने छोरोले आफ्ना बुबाको अनादर गर्दछ, छोरी आफ्नी आमाको विरुद्धमा उठ्छे, र बुहारी सासूको विरुद्ध । मानिसको शत्रु आफ्नै घरका मानिसहरू हुन् ।
For the son dishonors the father, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men 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 ।
Don’t rejoice against me, my enemy. When I fall, I will arise. When I sit in darkness, Yahweh will be a light to me.
9 मैले परमप्रभुको विरुद्ध पाप गरेको कारणले, उहाँले मेरो विषयमा वकालत नगर्नुभएसम्म, र मेरो निम्ति इन्साफ नगर्नुभएसम्म मैले उहाँको क्रोध सहनेछु ।
I will bear the indignation of Yahweh, because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my case and executes judgment for me. He will bring me out to the light. I will see his righteousness.
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 her who said to me, “Where is Yahweh your God?” My eyes will see her. Now she will be trodden down like the mire of the streets.
11 तिमीहरूका पर्खालहरू निर्माण गर्ने दिन आउनेछ । त्यस दिनमा सिमानाहरू टाढा-टाढासम्म विस्तार हुनेछन् ।
A day to build your walls! In that day, he will extend your boundary.
12 त्यस दिन अश्शूर र मिश्रका शहरहरुबाट, मिश्रदेखि यूफ्रेटिस नदीसम्म, समुद्रदेखि समुद्रसम्म, र पर्वतदेखि पर्वतसम्म मानिसहरू तिमीहरूकहाँ आउनेछन् ।
In that day they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and mountain to mountain.
13 तर भुमि भने त्यसमा बसोबास गर्ने मानिसहरूका कारण, र तिनीहरूका कामका प्रतिफलको कारण उजाड हुनेछ ।
Yet the land will be desolate because of those who dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
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 staff, the flock of your heritage, who dwell by themselves in a forest. Let them feed in the middle of fertile pasture land, in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15 मिश्रको भुमिबाट तिमीहरू बाहिर आएका दिनमा झैँ, म तिनीहरूलाई आश्चर्य कामहरू देखाउनेछु ।
“As in the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt, I will show them marvelous things.”
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 might. They will lay their hand on their mouth. 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 serpent. Like crawling things of the earth, they will come trembling out of their dens. They will come with fear to Yahweh our God, and 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 pardons iniquity, and passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage? He doesn’t retain his anger forever, because he delights in loving kindness.
19 तपाईंले फेरि हामीमाथि दया देखाउनुहुनेछ । तपाईंले हाम्रा अपराधहरूलाई आफ्ना पाऊमुनि कुल्चनुहुनेछ । तपाईंले हाम्रा सबै पापहरूललाई समुद्रको गहिराइमा फ्याँकिदिनुहुनेछ ।
He will again have compassion on us. He will tread our iniquities under foot. You will cast all their 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 mercy to Abraham, as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
