< जकरिया 10 >
1 वसन्त ऋतुको मौसममा परमप्रभुबाट वर्षा माग, परमप्रभु जसले आकाशमा बिजुली र आँधी बनाउनुहुन्छ, अनि उहाँले सबैलाई वर्षाको झरी र भूमिमा उब्जनी दिनुहुनेछ ।
Ask from the Lord rain at the time of the latter rain, [from] the Lord who maketh lightning-clouds: and he will give unto them showers of rain, to every herb in the field.
2 किनकि घरका मूर्तिहरू झुट बोल्छन्, र भविष्य बताउनेहरू झुटा दर्शनहरू देख्छन् । तिनीहरू छलपूर्ण सपनाहरू बताउँछन् र व्यर्थका सान्त्वना दिन्छन् ।यसैकारण तिनीहरू भेडाझैँ बरालिन्छन् र गोठालो नभएकोले समस्यामा पर्छन् ।
For the Theraphim speak vanity, and the diviners foresee a lie, and those that have dreams speak what is false, with nought do they comfort: therefore do they move about like a flock, they bleat, because [they have] no shepherd.
3 “मेरो क्रोध गोठालाहरूमाथि खनिन्छ । भाले बोको, अर्थात् अगुवाहरूलाई म दण्ड दिनेछु । सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुले उहाँको बगाल अर्थात् यहूदाको घरानाको हेरचाह गर्नुहुनेछ र तिनीहरूलाई युद्धको घोडाझैँ बनाउनुहुनेछ!
Against the shepherds is my anger kindled, and on the he-goats will I inflict punishment; for the Lord of hosts thinketh of his flock, the house of Judah, and maketh them as his elegant horse in the battle.
4 कुने-ढुङ्गो यहूदाबाट आउनेछ । पालको कीला त्यसबाट आउनेछ, अनि युद्धको धनु र हरेक शासक एकसाथ त्यसैबाट आउनेछ ।
Out of him cometh forth the corner [-stone], out of him the tent-nail, out of him the battle-bow, out of him every ruler [of others] together.
5 युद्दको मैदानको माटोमा आफ्ना शत्रुहरूलाई कुल्चने योद्धाहरूझैँ तिनीहरू हुनेछन् । तिनीहरूले युद्ध गर्नेछन्, किनकि परमप्रभु तिनीहरूसँग हुनुहुन्छ, र तिनीहरूले युद्धका घोडा चढ्नेहरूलाई शर्ममा पार्नेछन् ।
And they shall be like mighty men, treading down [their enemies] in the mire of the streets in the battle, and they shall fight, because the Lord is with them: and the riders on horses shall be made ashamed.
6 म यहूदाको घरानाललाई बलियो बनाउनेछु र योसेफको घरानालाई बचाउनेछु, किनकि म तिनीहरूलाई पुनर्स्थापित गर्नेछु र तिनीहरूमाथि दया देखाउनेछु । तिनीहरू वहिष्कृत नभएकाहरूझैँ हुनेछन्, किनकि म परमप्रभु तिनीहरूका परमेश्वर हुँ, र म तिनीहरूलाई उत्तर दिनेछु ।
And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and the house of Joseph will I save, and I will bring them again to their own homes; for I have mercy upon them, and they shall be as though I had never cast them off; for I am the Lord their God, and I will answer their prayer.
7 अनि एफ्राइम योद्धाझैँ हुनेछ, र तिनीहरूका हृदय मद्यले झैँ आनन्दित हुनेछ । तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीहरूले यो देखेर आनन्द मनाउनेछन् । तिनीहरूका हृदय ममा आनन्दित हुनेछन्!
And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as though from wine: and their children shall see it, and be rejoiced; their heart shall be glad in the Lord.
8 म तिनीहरूलाई सुस्केराले बोलाउनेछु र तिनीहरूलाई भेला गराउनेछु । म तिनीहरूलाई बचाउनेछु, र तिनीहरू पहिलेको झैँ महान् हुनेछन्!
I will call for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased [formerly].
9 मैले तिनीहरूलाई मानिसहरूका बिचमा छरेँ, तर तिनीहरूले मलाई टाढा-टाढाका देशहरूमा सम्झनेछन्, यसैकारण तिनीहरू र तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीहरू बाँच्नेछन् र फर्कनेछन् ।
And when I shall have scattered them among the people, they will remember me in the far-off countries: therefore shall they live with their children, and return again.
10 किनकि म तिनीहरूलाई मिश्र देशबाट पुनर्स्थापित गर्नेछु र तिनीहरूलाई अश्शूर देशबाट भेला गराउनेछु । गिलाद र लेबनानमा तिनीहरूका निम्ति ठाउँ बाँकी नरहेसम्म म तिनीहरूलाई त्यहाँ लानेछु ।
And I will bring them back again out of the land of Egypt, and out of Assyria will I gather them; and into the land of Gil'ad and Lebanon will I bring them, and it shall not be sufficient for them.
11 म तिनीहरूको पीडाको समुद्रबाट भएर जानेछु । म त्यस समुद्रका छालहरूलाई प्रहार गर्नेछु र नील नदीका सबै गहिराइलाई सुकाइदिनेछु । अश्शूरको गौरव घटाइनेछ, र मिश्रको राजदण्ड मिश्रीहरूबाट टाढा जानेछ ।
And he will pass through the sea [with] distress, and he will smite in the sea the waves, and there shall dry up all the deeps of the stream: and there shall be brought down the pride of Assyria, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.
12 तिनीहरूलाई म ममा नै बलियो बनाउनेछु, र तिनीहरू मेरो नाउँमा हिँड्नेछन्, परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ ।”
And I will strengthen them in the Lord, and in his name shall they ever walk, saith the Lord.
