< सपन्याह 2 >
1 निर्लज्ज जाति, एकठ्ठा होओ, जम्मा होओ,
Bend yourselves, indeed, bend, O nation not desired,
2 आज्ञा लागु हुनुभन्दा अगि र भुसझैँ त्यो दिन बितिजानभन्दा अगि, परमप्रभुको भयङ्कर क्रोध तिमीहरूमाथि आउनअगि, परमप्रभुको क्रोधको दिन तिमीहरूमाथि आउन अघि ।
Before the bringing forth of a statute, The day has passed on as chaff, While the heat of the anger of YHWH has not yet come in on you, While [the] Day of the anger of YHWH has not yet come in on you,
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 YHWH, all you humble of the land, Who have done His judgment, Seek righteousness, seek humility, It may be you are hidden in the Day of the anger of YHWH.
4 किनभने गाजा त्यागिनेछ, र अश्कलोन सर्वनाश हुनेछ । तिनीहरूले मध्यदिनमा नै अश्दोदलाई लखेट्नेछन्, र तिनीहरूले एक्रोनलाई उखेल्नेछन् ।
For Gaza is forsaken, And Ashkelon [is] for a desolation, Ashdod! At noon they cast her forth, And Ekron is 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 ।
Behold! O inhabitants of the seacoast, Nation of the Cherethites, A word of YHWH [is] against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines, “And I have destroyed you without an inhabitant.”
6 यसैकारण सामुद्रको किनार गोठालाहरूका निम्ति खर्क र भेडाहरूका निम्ति बस्ने ठाउँ हुनेछ ।
And the seacoast has been habitations, Cottages [for] shepherds, and folds [for] a flock.
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 the coast has been for the remnant of the house of Judah, By them they have pleasure, In houses of Ashkelon they lie down at evening, For their God YHWH inspects them, And He has turned back [to] 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 sons of Ammon, With which they reproached My people, And magnify [themselves] 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,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, “Surely Moab is as Sodom, And the sons of Ammon as Gomorrah, An overrunning of nettles and salt-pits, And a desolation for all time. A remnant of My people seizes them, And a remnant of My nation inherits them.”
10 तिनीहरूको घमण्डको कारण मोआब र अम्मोनलाई यस्तो हुनेछ, किनभने तिनीहरूले सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुका मानिसहरूको उपहास र खिल्ली गरे ।
This [is] to them for their arrogancy, Because they have reproached, And they magnify [themselves] against the people of YHWH 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 ।
Fearful [is] YHWH against them, For He made all gods of the land bare, And all islanders of the nations bow themselves to Him, Each from his place.
12 ए कूशी, तिमीहरूलाई पनि मेरो तरवारद्धारा प्रहार हुनेछ,
“Also you, O Cushim, they [are] pierced of 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 stretches His hand against the north, And destroys Asshur, And He sets Nineveh for a desolation, A dry land like a 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 droves have crouched in her midst, Every beast of the nation, Both pelican and hedgehog lodge in her knobs, A voice sings at the window, “Destruction [is] at the threshold, For the cedar-work is exposed.”
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 exulting city that is dwelling confidently, That is saying in her heart, “I [am], and there is none beside me,” How she has been for a desolation, A crouching-place for beasts, Everyone passing by her hisses, He shakes his hand!
