सपन्याह 2
1 निर्लज्ज जाति, एकठ्ठा होओ, जम्मा होओ,
Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, you nation that has no shame,
2 आज्ञा लागु हुनुभन्दा अगि र भुसझैँ त्यो दिन बितिजानभन्दा अगि, परमप्रभुको भयङ्कर क्रोध तिमीहरूमाथि आउनअगि, परमप्रभुको क्रोधको दिन तिमीहरूमाथि आउन अघि ।
before the appointed time when the day passes as the chaff, before the fierce anger of Yahweh comes on you, before the day of Yahweh’s anger comes 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 Yahweh, all you humble of the land, who have kept his ordinances. Seek righteousness. Seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of Yahweh’s anger.
4 किनभने गाजा त्यागिनेछ, र अश्कलोन सर्वनाश हुनेछ । तिनीहरूले मध्यदिनमा नै अश्दोदलाई लखेट्नेछन्, र तिनीहरूले एक्रोनलाई उखेल्नेछन् ।
For Gaza will be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation. They will drive out Ashdod at noonday, and Ekron will 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 to the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! Yahweh’s word is against you, Canaan, the land of the Philistines. I will destroy you until there is no inhabitant.
6 यसैकारण सामुद्रको किनार गोठालाहरूका निम्ति खर्क र भेडाहरूका निम्ति बस्ने ठाउँ हुनेछ ।
The sea coast will be pastures, with cottages for 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 ।
The coast will be for the remnant of the house of Judah. They will find pasture. In the houses of Ashkelon, they will lie down in the evening, for Yahweh, their God, will visit them and restore them.
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 insults of the children of Ammon, with which they have reproached my people and magnified 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, says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, surely Moab will be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles and salt pits, and a perpetual desolation. The remnant of my people will plunder them, and the survivors of my nation will inherit them.
10 तिनीहरूको घमण्डको कारण मोआब र अम्मोनलाई यस्तो हुनेछ, किनभने तिनीहरूले सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुका मानिसहरूको उपहास र खिल्ली गरे ।
This they will have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of Yahweh of Armies.
11 अनि तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको भय मान्नेछन्, किनभने उहाँले पृथ्वीका सबै ईश्वरहरूको उपहास गर्नुहुनेछ । सबैले आ-आफ्नो ठाउँबाट, र हरेक समुद्र किनारबाट उहाँको आराधना गर्नेछन् ।
Yahweh will be awesome to them, for he will famish all the gods of the land. Men will worship him, everyone from his place, even all the shores of the nations.
12 ए कूशी, तिमीहरूलाई पनि मेरो तरवारद्धारा प्रहार हुनेछ,
You Cushites also, you will be killed by my sword.
13 र परमेश्वरको हातले उत्तरलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछ र अश्शूरलाई सर्वनाश गर्नेछ, अनि निनवे त्यागिएको र सर्वनाश हुनेछ, र मरुभूमिझैँ उजाड हुनेछ ।
He will stretch out his hand against the north, destroy Assyria, and will make Nineveh a desolation, as dry as 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 ।
Herds will lie down in the middle of her, all kinds of animals. Both the pelican and the porcupine will lodge in its capitals. Their calls will echo through the windows. Desolation will be in the thresholds, for he has laid bare the cedar beams.
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 joyous city that lived carelessly, that said in her heart, “I am, and there is no one besides me.” How she has become a desolation, a place for animals to lie down in! Everyone who passes by her will hiss and shake their fists.
