1 दारा राजाले चार वर्ष शासन गरिसकेपछि, किसलेव (अर्थात् नवौँ महिना) को चौथो दिनमा, परमप्रभुको वचन जकरियाकहाँ आयो ।
And it came to pass, in the fourth year of King Darius, that the word of Jehovah came to Zechariah, on the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chisleu;
2 बेथेलका मानिसहरूले शरेसेर र रेगेम-मेलक र तिनीहरूका मानिसहरूलाई परमप्रभुको सामु बिन्ती गर्न पठाए ।
when they had sent to the house of God Sherezer and Regem-melech, and their men, to pray before Jehovah,
3 तिनीहरूले सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुका भवनमा भएका पुजारीहरू र अगमवक्ताहरूलाई यस्तो भने, “मैले बितेका वर्षहरूमा गर्आएकोझैँ, के म पाचौँ महिनामा उपवास बसेर विलाप गरूँ?”
and to speak to the priests that were in the house of Jehovah of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, “Shall I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?”
4 यसैकारण सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुको यस्तो वचन मकहाँ आयो,
Then came the word of Jehovah of hosts 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?
Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth month and in the seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast for me, even for me?
6 तिमीहरूले खाँदा र पिउँदा, के तिमीहरूले आफ्नै निम्ति खाएनौ र आफ्नै निम्ति पिएनौ?
And when ye eat and drink, is it not ye that eat, and ye that drink?
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?’”
Are not these the words which Jehovah proclaimed by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and her cities round about her, and when the South and the Plain were inhabited?
8 परमप्रभुको यस्तो वचन जकरियाकहाँआयो,
And the word of Jehovah came to Zechariah, saying,
9 “सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, ‘साँचो न्याय, करारको विश्‍वसनीयता, र अनुग्रहद्वारा इन्साफ गर । हरेक मानिसले आफ्नो दाजुभाइको निम्ति यस्तो गरोस् ।
Thus spake Jehovah of hosts, saying, Judge true judgment, and show mercy and compassion every man to his brother.
10 विधवा र टुहुरा, परदेशी, र गरिब मानिसमाथिअत्याचार नगर, र कसैले पनि आफ्नो हृदयमा अर्काको विरुद्ध खराबीको योजना नबनाओस् ।’
And the widow, and the orphan, and the stranger, and the poor, oppress not, and meditate not evil against one another in your heart.
11 तर तिनीहरूले ध्यान दिएनन् र हठी भएर आफ्नो पीठ फर्काए । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कान थुने र केही पनि सुनेनन् ।
But they refused to hearken, and showed a refractory shoulder, and made their ears dull, that they might not hear;
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 ।
yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, that they might not hear the law, and the words which Jehovah of hosts sent through his spirit by the former prophets. Therefore came great anger from Jehovah of hosts.
13 उहाँले बोलाउनुहुँदा, तिनीहरूले सुनेनन् । त्यसरी नै तिनीहरूले मेरो पुकारा गर्नेछन्, तर म त्यो सुन्‍नेछैनँ,” सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।
And as he called and they would not hear, so they called and I would not hear, saith Jehovah of hosts.
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 ।”
And I scattered them as with a whirlwind among all the nations, which they knew not. And the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through, nor returned; and thus the beautiful land was made a desolation.
