1 इस्राएलको विषयमा परमप्रभु यस्तो घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, जसले आकाश बनाउनुभयो र पृथ्वीको जग बसाल्नुभयो, जसले मानिसको आत्मालाई त्यसभित्र रच्नुभयो,
[This is] a message from Yahweh concerning Israel. Yahweh is the one who stretched out the sky, who created the earth, and who (gave life to humans/caused humans to be alive). This is what he says:
2 “हेर, म यरूशलेमलाई एउटा कचौरा तुल्याउँदै छु जसको कारण त्यसको वरिपरिका सबै धरमराउनेछन् । यरूशलेमको विरुद्ध घेरावन्दी हुँदा यहूदाको निम्ति पनि त्यस्तै हुनेछ ।
“I will soon cause Jerusalem to be [like] [MET] a cup full [of very strong alcoholic drink], and the people of other nations who drink it will stagger around. And they will come and attack Jerusalem and [the other towns in] Judah.
3 त्यस दिन, म सबै जातिहरूका निम्ति यरूशलेमलाई एउटा गह्रौँ ढुङ्गो तुल्याउनेछु । त्यो ढुङ्गोलाई उठाउन खोज्ने सबैलाई गहिरो चोट लाग्‍नेछ, र पृथ्वीका सबै जातिहरू त्यस सहरको विरुद्धमा एक हुनेछन् ।
At that time, [the armies of] all the nations will gather to attack Jerusalem, but I will cause [the leaders of] Judah to be [like] [SIM] a very heavy rock, and all who [try to] lift it will be badly injured.
4 त्यस दिन, म हरेक घोडालाई भ्रमले र त्यसमा सवारलाई पागलपनले प्रहार गर्नेछु - परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ। यहूदाको घरानामाथि म मेरो नजर लगाउनेछु, तर जाति-जातिहरूका हरेक घोडालाई म अन्धोपनले प्रहार गर्नेछु ।
At that time I will cause every [one of their enemies’] horses to panic, and their riders to become crazy. I [IDM] will protect the people of Judah, but I will cause all their enemies’ horses to become blind.
5 अनि यहूदाका अगुवाहरूले आफ्ना हृदयमा यस्तो भन्‍नेछन्, ‘सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु, तिनीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको कारण यरूशलेमका वासिन्दाहरू हाम्रो बल भएका छन् ।’
Then the leaders of Judah will say to themselves, ‘The people in Jerusalem are strong because the Commander of the armies of angels is their God.’
6 त्यस दिन म यहूदाका अगुवाहरूलाई दाउराको बिचको आगोको मकलझैँ र बिटाहरूको बिचमा बलिरहेको राँकोझैँ तुल्याउनेछु, किनकि तिनीहरूले वरिपरिका सबै मानिसहरूलाई आफ्नो दाहिने र देब्रेपट्टि सखाप पार्नेछन् । यरूशलेम फेरि आफ्नै ठाउँमा बस्‍नेछ ।”
At that time I will enable the leaders of Judah to be like [SIM] a pan containing hot coals [that is put] in a woodpile [to set it on fire], or like [SIM] a burning torch [that is put] in a [field of] ripe grain [to set it on fire]. The leaders of Judah [and their army] will destroy the people of the surrounding nations in all directions. But [the people of] Jerusalem will remain safe.
7 दाऊदको घराना र यरूशलेममा बस्‍नेहरूको गौरव यहूदाका बाँकी रहेकाहरूको भन्दा बढ्ता नहोस् भनेर परमप्रभुले पहिला यहूदाको पाललाई बचाउनुहुनेछ ।
And [I], Yahweh, will protect the tents of [the soldiers in other places in] Judah before [I rescue the people of Jerusalem], in order that the leaders of Jerusalem [DOU] will not be honored more than [the people in other places in] Judah [are honored].
8 त्यस दिन, परमप्रभु नै यरूशलेमका वासिन्दाहरूको रक्षक हुनुहुनेछ, र त्यस दिन तिनीहरूका कमजोरहरू दाऊदझैँ हुनेछन्, अनि दाऊदको घरानाचाहिँ परमेश्‍वरझैँ, तिनीहरूको अगि परमप्रभुका स्वर्गदूतझैँ हुनेछ ।
At that time, I will protect [MET] the people of Jerusalem. When that happens, even the weakest people in Jerusalem will be [strong] like [King] David [was]. And the descendants [MTY] of David will [rule the people] like I [would], as though an angel sent from [me], Yahweh, was their leader.
9 “त्यसदिन यरूशलेमको विरुद्ध खडा हुने सबै जातिहरूलाई म सर्वनाश गर्न थाल्नेछु ।
At that time, I will prepare to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.”
10 तर दाऊदको घराना र यरूशलेमका वासिन्दाहरूमाथि म अनुग्रह र नम्र-निवेदन गर्ने आत्मा खन्याउनेछु, अनि तिनीहरूले मलाई हेर्नेछन्, जसलाई तिनीहरूले नै घोचेका छन् । एक मात्र छोरोको लागि शोक गरेझैँ, तिनीहरू मेरो निम्ति शोक गर्नेछन् । आफ्नो पहिलो पुत्रको निम्ति शोक गरेझैँ तिनीहरूले उनको लागि अत्यन्तै विलाप गर्नेछन् ।
“I, [Yahweh, ] will cause the descendants [MTY] of [King] David to act very kindly and mercifully. They will look at me, [the one] who has been stabbed, and they will cry bitterly, like people cry for a firstborn son [who has died] [DOU].
11 त्यस दिन यरूशलेमको विलाप मगिद्दोको बेँसीमा हदद-रिम्मोनको विलापझैँ हुनेछ ।
At that time, many people in Jerusalem will be crying bitterly, like people cried [when King Josiah was killed in the battle] at Hadad-Rimmon on the Megiddo Plain.
12 भूमि विलाप गर्नेछ, हरेक कुलले अलग-अलग विलाप गर्नेछन् । दाऊदको घरानाको कुल अलग हुनेछ र तिनीहरूका पत्‍नीहरू पतिबाट अलग हुनेछन् । नातानको घरानाको कुल अलग हुनेछ र तिनीहरूका पत्‍नीहरू पतिबाट अलग हुनेछन् ।
Many people in Judah will cry, each family by themselves: the male descendants of David by themselves, and their wives by themselves, the male descendants of [David’s son] Nathan by themselves, and their wives by themselves,
13 लेवीको घरानाको कुल अलग हुनेछ र तिनीहरूका पत्‍नीहरू पतिबाट अलग हुनेछन् । शिमीको कुल अलग हुनेछ र तिनीहरूका पत्‍नीहरू पतिबाट अलग हुनेछन् ।
the male descendants [MTY] of Levi by themselves, and their wives by themselves, the male descendants of [Levi’s grandson] Shimei by themselves, and their wives by themselves,
14 बाँकी रहेका कुलहरूको हरेक वंश अलग हुनेछ र तिनीहरूका पत्‍नीहरू पतिबाट अलग हुनेछन् ।”
and all the other members [of the kings’ clans and the priests’ clans] by themselves, and their wives by themselves.”
