सपन्याह 2
1 निर्लज्ज जाति, एकठ्ठा होओ, जम्मा होओ,
Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation without desire [for repentance];
2 आज्ञा लागु हुनुभन्दा अगि र भुसझैँ त्यो दिन बितिजानभन्दा अगि, परमप्रभुको भयङ्कर क्रोध तिमीहरूमाथि आउनअगि, परमप्रभुको क्रोधको दिन तिमीहरूमाथि आउन अघि ।
Before the decree is brought forth—like the chaff the day passeth away—before yet there be come over you the fierce anger of the Lord, before yet there be come over you the day of the anger of the Lord.
3 उहाँका आज्ञाहरू पालन गर्ने पृथ्वीका सबै नम्र मानिसहरू, परमप्रभुको खोजी गर । धार्मिकताको खोजी गर, नम्रताको खोजी गर, र सायद परमप्रभुको क्रोधको दिनमा तिमीहरू सुरक्षित हुनेछौ ।
Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, who have fulfilled his ordinances; seek righteousness, seek meekness: perhaps ye will be protected on the day of the Lord's anger.
4 किनभने गाजा त्यागिनेछ, र अश्कलोन सर्वनाश हुनेछ । तिनीहरूले मध्यदिनमा नै अश्दोदलाई लखेट्नेछन्, र तिनीहरूले एक्रोनलाई उखेल्नेछन् ।
For Gazzah shall become forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolate place: Ashdod shall they drive out at the noon of day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.
5 ए सुमुद्रको किनारमा बस्ने करेती जाति, तिमीहरूलाई धिक्कार । ए पलिश्तीहरूको देश कनान, परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका विरुद्धमा बोल्नुभएको छ । कोही पनि नरहने गरी म तँलाई नाश गर्नेछु ।
Woe unto the inhabitants of the district by the sea, the nation of the Kerethites! the word of the Lord is against you, O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that no inhabitant shall remain.
6 यसैकारण सामुद्रको किनार गोठालाहरूका निम्ति खर्क र भेडाहरूका निम्ति बस्ने ठाउँ हुनेछ ।
And the district by the sea shall become places for pens of shepherds, and folds for flocks.
7 तटीय क्षेत्र यहूदाका घरानाका बाँकी रहेकाहरूको हुनेछ, जसले आफ्ना बागललाई त्यहाँ चराउनेछन् । तिनीहरूका मानिसहरू साँझमा अश्कलोनका घरहरूमा पल्टिनेछन्, किनभने तिनीहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूको वास्ता गर्नुहुनेछ र तिनीहरूका सौभाग्य फर्काइदिनुहुनेछ ।
And this district shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; thereupon shall they feed their flocks: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening; for the Lord their God will think of them, and bring back their captivity.
8 “मैले मोआबको उपहास र अम्मोनीहरूको तिरस्कारलाई सुनेको छु, जब तिनीहरूले मेरा मानिसलाई उपहास गरेका थिए र आफ्ना सिमानाहरू तोडेका थिए ।
I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of 'Ammon, wherewith they have reproached my people, and made themselves great against their border.
9 यसैकारण सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु, इस्राएलका परमेश्वर यो घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, म जीवित रहेझैँ, मोआब सदोमझैँ हुनेछ, र अम्मोनीहरू गमोराझैँ अर्थात् काँडाहरू र नुनको खाडल भएको ठाउँझैँ हुनेछन्, जो सधैँको निम्ति त्यागिएका छन् ।”
Therefore as I live, saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall become like Sodom, and the children of 'Ammon like Gomorrah, overgrown with nettles, and [filled with] salt-pits, and a desolation to eternity; the residue of my people shall plunder them, and the remnant of my nation shall possess them.
10 तिनीहरूको घमण्डको कारण मोआब र अम्मोनलाई यस्तो हुनेछ, किनभने तिनीहरूले सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुका मानिसहरूको उपहास र खिल्ली गरे ।
This shall they have in recompense for their pride; because they have reproached and made themselves great against the people of the Lord of hosts.
11 अनि तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको भय मान्नेछन्, किनभने उहाँले पृथ्वीका सबै ईश्वरहरूको उपहास गर्नुहुनेछ । सबैले आ-आफ्नो ठाउँबाट, र हरेक समुद्र किनारबाट उहाँको आराधना गर्नेछन् ।
Terrible will the Lord [appear] over them; for he will cause to vanish all the gods of the earth; and then shall prostrate themselves before him, every one from its place, all the isles of the nations.
12 ए कूशी, तिमीहरूलाई पनि मेरो तरवारद्धारा प्रहार हुनेछ,
Also ye Ethiopians shall be those slain by my sword.
13 र परमेश्वरको हातले उत्तरलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछ र अश्शूरलाई सर्वनाश गर्नेछ, अनि निनवे त्यागिएको र सर्वनाश हुनेछ, र मरुभूमिझैँ उजाड हुनेछ ।
And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and he will make Nineveh a desolate place, dry, like the wilderness.
14 त्यसपछि सबै पशुका बगाल त्यहाँ पल्टिनेछन्, मरुभूमिको लाटोकोसेरो र कराउने लाटोकोसेरो त्यसका स्तम्भहरूका टुप्पोमा बस्नेछन् । झ्यालहरूबाट एउटा पुकाराको गीत सुनिनेछ, ढोका अगाडि भग्नावशेष हुनेछ, त्यसका देवदारुका कुँदिएका दलिनहरू प्रकट गरिनेछन् ।
And there shall lie down in the midst of her flocks, all the beasts of the nations; both the pelican and the hedgehog shall lodge in the capitals of her columns; singing-birds shall sing in the windows; ruin shall be on the thresholds; for the cedar wainscoting shall be torn away.
15 यो त्यो उल्लासित सहर हो, जो कुनै भयबिना नै जिउँथ्यो, र आफ्नो हृदयमा भन्थ्यो, “म हुँ, र मेरो बराबर केही छैन ।” त्यो अब पशुहरू बस्ने भयानक ठाउँ बनेको । त्यसको नजिकबाट जाने हरेकले त्यसको गिल्ला गर्दै मुक्का देखाउँनेछन् ।
This is the joyful city that dwelt in security, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none else beside me: how is she become desolate, a resting-place for beasts! every one that passeth by her will hiss, and shake his hand.
