< Hosea 5 >

1 Give ear to this, O priests; give attention, O Israel, and you, family of the king; for you are to be judged; you have been a deceit at Mizpah and a net stretched out on Tabor.
“ए पुजारीहरू हो, यो कुरा सुन! ए इस्राएलको घराना, ध्यान देओ! ए राजाको घराना, सुन! किनकि तिमीहरू सबैका विरुद्ध न्‍याय आउँदैछ । तिमीहरू मिस्‍पामा पासो, र तबोरमाथि फैलिएको जाल भएका छौ ।
2 They have gone deep in the evil ways of Shittim, but I am the judge of all.
विद्रोहीहरू मारकाटमा साह्रै नै संलग्‍न हुन्‍छन्, तर म तिनीहरू सबैलाई दण्ड दिनेछु ।
3 I have knowledge of Ephraim, and Israel is not secret from me; for now, O Ephraim, you have been false to me, Israel has become unclean.
एफ्राइम र इस्राएल मबाट लुकेका छैनन् भनी म जान्‍दछु । ए एफ्राइम, तँ अब वेश्‍याझैं भएको छस् । इस्राएल अपवित्र पारिएको छ ।
4 Their works will not let them come back to their God, for a false spirit is in them and they have no knowledge of the Lord.
तिनीहरूका कामहरूले तिनीहरूलाई परमेश्‍वरतर्फ फर्कन दिंदैनन्, किनकि तिनीहरूमा व्यभिचारको मन छ, र तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई चिन्दैनन् ।
5 And the pride of Israel gives an answer to his face; and Ephraim will have a fall through his sins, and the fall of Judah will be the same as theirs.
इस्राएलको घमण्डले उसकै विरुद्ध गवाही दिन्छ । यसैले इस्राएल र एफ्राइम आफ्‍नै दोषमा ठेस खानेछन्, र यहूदा पनि तिनीहरूसँगै ठेस खानेछ ।
6 They will go, with their flocks and their herds, in search of the Lord, but they will not see him; he has taken himself out of their view.
आफ्ना बगाल र बथानसँग परमप्रभुको खोजी गर्न तिनीहरू जानेछन्, तर तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई भेट्‍टाउने छैनन्, किनकि उहाँले आफैंलाई तिनीहरूबाट टाढा लानुभएको छ ।
7 They have been false to the Lord; they have given birth to strange children; now the new moon will make them waste with their fields.
तिनीहरू परमप्रभुप्रति विश्‍वासघाती भए, किनकि तिनीहरूले अवैधानिक छोराछोरी जन्माएका छन् । अब औंसीका पर्वहरूले तिनीहरूका भूमिसँगै तिनीहरूलाई पनि निलिदिनेछ ।
8 Let the horn be sounded in Gibeah and in Ramah; give a loud cry in Beth-aven, They are after you, O Benjamin.
गिबामा तुरही र रामामा बिगुल फुक । बेथ-आवनमा युद्ध-ध्वनि बजाओः ‘ए बेन्यामीन, हामी तेरो पछि लाग्‍छौं!’
9 Ephraim will become a waste in the day of punishment; I have given knowledge among the tribes of Israel of what is certain.
न्यायको दिनमा एफ्राइम निर्जन हुनेछ । इस्राएलका कुलहरू बिचमा निश्‍चय हुन आउने कुरा मैले घोषणा गरेको छु ।
10 The rulers of Judah are like those who take away a landmark; I will let loose my wrath on them like flowing water.
यहूदाका अगुवाहरू त्‍यस्‍ता हुन् जसले सिमानाको ढुङ्गा सार्छ । पानी खन्याएझैं तिनीहरूमाथि म आफ्‍नो क्रोध खन्याउनेछु ।
11 Ephraim is troubled; he is crushed by his judges, because he took pleasure in walking after deceit.
एफ्राइम कुल्चिएको छ, त्यो न्यायमा कुल्चिएको छ, किनभने त्यो आफ्नै इच्‍छामा मूर्तिहरूको पछि लागेको छ ।
12 And so to Ephraim I am like a wasting insect, and a destruction to the children of Judah.
यसैले एफ्राइमको निम्ति म कपडा काट्ने किराझैं हुनेछु र यहूदाको घरानाको निम्ति सडाउने कुराझैं हुनेछु ।
13 When Ephraim saw his disease and Judah his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria and sent to the great king; but he is not able to make you well or give you help for your wound.
जब एफ्राइमले आफ्नो रोग देख्‍यो, र यहूदाले आफ्नो घाउ देख्‍यो, तब एफ्राइम अश्‍शूरमा गयो, र यहूदाले महान् राजाकहाँ सन्देशवाहक पठायो । तर त्यसले तेरा मानिसहरूलाई निको पार्न वा तिमीहरूका घाउ निको पार्न सकेन ।
14 For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the children of Judah; I, even I, will give him wounds and go away; I will take him away, and there will be no helper.
यसैले एफ्राइमको निम्ति म सिंहझैं हुनेछु, र यहूदाको घरानाको निम्ति जवान सिंहझैं हुनेछु । मैले नै तिनीहरूलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नेछु र जानेछु । म तिनीहरूलाई बोकेर लानेछु, र तिनीहरूलाई बचाउने कोही पनि हुनेछैन ।
15 I will go back to my place till they are made waste; in their trouble they will go after me early and will make search for me.
तिनीहरूले आफ्ना दोष स्‍वीकार गरेर मेरो खोजी नगरेसम्म, र आफ्‍ना दु: खको समयमा मलाई तत्परतासाथ नखोजेसम्म, म जानेछु र आफ्नै ठाउँमा फर्कनेछु ।”
