जकरिया 7
1 दारा राजाले चार वर्ष शासन गरिसकेपछि, किसलेव (अर्थात् नवौँ महिना) को चौथो दिनमा, परमप्रभुको वचन जकरियाकहाँ आयो ।
The Lord sent a message to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Chislev. This was during the fourth year of king Darius' reign.
2 बेथेलका मानिसहरूले शरेसेर र रेगेम-मेलक र तिनीहरूका मानिसहरूलाई परमप्रभुको सामु बिन्ती गर्न पठाए ।
Bethel-sharezer sent Regem-melech and his men to ask for the Lord's blessing.
3 तिनीहरूले सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुका भवनमा भएका पुजारीहरू र अगमवक्ताहरूलाई यस्तो भने, “मैले बितेका वर्षहरूमा गर्आएकोझैँ, के म पाचौँ महिनामा उपवास बसेर विलाप गरूँ?”
They were to ask the priests of the Temple of the Lord Almighty and the prophets, “Should I go on mourning and fasting in the fifth month, as I have done for so many years?”
4 यसैकारण सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुको यस्तो वचन मकहाँ आयो,
The Lord Almighty sent a message to me saying,
5 “भूमिका सबै मानिसहरू र पुजारीहरूलाई यस्तो भन्, ‘यी सत्तरी वर्षसम्म तिमीहरूले पाचौँ र सातौँ महिनामा उपवास बस्दा र विलाप गर्दा, के तिमीहरू साँच्चै मेरो निम्ति उपवास बसिरहेका थियौ?
Tell everyone in the land and the priests, when you fasted and mourned in the fifth month and the seventh month during these seventy years, was it really me you were fasting for?
6 तिमीहरूले खाँदा र पिउँदा, के तिमीहरूले आफ्नै निम्ति खाएनौ र आफ्नै निम्ति पिएनौ?
And when you eat and drink, don't you eat and drink for yourselves?
7 तिमीहरू यरूशलेम र आसपासका सहरहरूमा सम्पन्नतामाबसोबास गरिरहँदा र तिमीहरू नेगेव, र पश्चिमका पहाडहरूको फेदमा अवस्थित हुँदा, के अगिल्ला अगमवक्ताहरूका मुखबाट परमप्रभुले घोषणा गर्नुभएका वचन यी नै थिएनन् र?’”
Isn't this what the Lord told you to do through the former prophets, when Jerusalem was prosperous and inhabited, and when people were living in the Negev and the Shephelah?
8 परमप्रभुको यस्तो वचन जकरियाकहाँआयो,
The Lord Almighty sent another message to me.
9 “सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्नुहुन्छ, ‘साँचो न्याय, करारको विश्वसनीयता, र अनुग्रहद्वारा इन्साफ गर । हरेक मानिसले आफ्नो दाजुभाइको निम्ति यस्तो गरोस् ।
This is what the Lord says. Judge fairly and truthfully. Show mercy and kindness to one another.
10 विधवा र टुहुरा, परदेशी, र गरिब मानिसमाथिअत्याचार नगर, र कसैले पनि आफ्नो हृदयमा अर्काको विरुद्ध खराबीको योजना नबनाओस् ।’
Don't exploit those who are widowed or fatherless, foreigners or the poor. Don't think up ways of mistreating one other.
11 तर तिनीहरूले ध्यान दिएनन् र हठी भएर आफ्नो पीठ फर्काए । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कान थुने र केही पनि सुनेनन् ।
But they refused to listen. They were obstinate, turning their backs and closing their ears.
12 व्यवस्था वा सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुको वचन नसुन्नको निम्ति तिनीहरूले आफ्ना हृदयलाई चट्टानझैँ कडा बनाए । पहिलेका समयमा, उहाँले यी सन्देशहरू आफ्ना मानिसहरूकहाँ आफ्नो आत्माद्वारा, अगमवक्ताहरूका ओठद्वारा पठाउनुभयो । तर ती मानिसहरूले सुन्न इन्कार गरे, यसैकारण सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु तिनीहरूसँग धेरै रिसाउनुभयो ।
They made their minds unreceptive, as hard as stone. They refused to listen to the law or to what the Lord Almighty told them by his Spirit through the former prophets. That's why the Lord Almighty became very angry with them.
13 उहाँले बोलाउनुहुँदा, तिनीहरूले सुनेनन् । त्यसरी नै तिनीहरूले मेरो पुकारा गर्नेछन्, तर म त्यो सुन्नेछैनँ,” सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ ।
So since they didn't listen when I called out to them, I wouldn't listen when they called out to me, says the Lord Almighty.
14 “किनकि म आँधीबेहरीद्वारा तिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूले नदेखेकाजातिहरूका बिचमा तितर-बितर पार्नेछु, र तिनीहरूपछि त्यो भूमि निर्जन हुनेछ । किनकि कोही पनि त्यो देशबाट भएर जानेछैन न त कोही त्यहाँ फर्कनेछ किनभने मानिसहरूले आफ्नो सुन्दर भूमिलाई उजाड बनाएका छन् ।”
With the winds of a storm I scattered them among the nations where they lived as foreigners. The land they left became so desolate that no one even traveled through it. They turned the Promised Land into a desert.
