Hosea 11

1 Just as the morning passes, so has the king of Israel passed by. For Israel was a child and I loved him; and out of Egypt I called my son.

“जब इस्राएल जवान मानिस थियो, तब मैले त्यसलाई प्रेम गरें, र मैले मेरो पुत्रलाई मिश्रबाट बाहिर ल्याएँ ।

2 They called them, and so they departed before their face. They offered victims to the Baals, and they sacrificed to graven images.

जति धेरै तिनीहरूलाई बोलाइयो, तिनीहरू मबाट त्यति नै टाढा गए । तिनीहरूले बाल देवतालाई बलिदान चढाए, र मूर्तिहरूलाई धूप बाले ।

3 And I was like a foster father to Ephraim. I carried them in my arms. And they did not know that I healed them.

तापनि एफ्राइमलाई हिंड्न सिकाउने म नै थिएँ । तिनीहरूका हात समतेर तिनीहरूलाई उठाउने म नै थिएँ, तर मैले तिनीहरूको वास्ता गरें भन्‍ने कुरा तिनीहरूलाई थाहै भएन ।

4 I will draw them with the cords of Adam, with the bands of love. And I will be to them like one who raises the yoke over their jaws. And I will reach down to him so that he may eat.

तिनीहरूलाई मानवताका डोरीहरू र प्रेमको बन्धनहरूले मैले डोर्‍याएँ । तिनीहरूका काँधका जुवालाई सजिलो पारिदिने कोही व्‍यक्‍ति जस्तै म तिनीहरूका निम्‍ति थिएँ, र तिनीहरूका अगि म झुकें र तिनीहरूलाई खुवाएँ ।

5 He will not return to the land of Egypt, but Assur himself will be the king over him, because they were not willing to be converted.

के तिनीहरू मिश्रदेशमा फर्कने छैनन् र? तिनीहरू मकहाँ फर्कन नमानेका हुनाले, के अश्‍शूरले तिनीहरूमाथि राज्‍य गर्ने छैन र?

6 The sword has begun in his cities, and it will consume his elect and devour their heads.

तिनीहरूका सहरहरूमा तरवार चल्‍नेछ र तिनीहरूका मुख्य ढोकाका बारहरूलाई नष्‍ट गर्नेछ । तिनीहरूका आफ्‍नै योजनाहरूका कारणले, त्यसले तिनीहरूलाई नष्‍ट गर्नेछ ।

7 And my people will long for my return. But a yoke will be imposed on them together, which will not be taken away.

मबाट तर्केर जानलाई मेरा मानिसहरूले निश्‍चित गरेका छन् । तिनीहरूले सर्वोच्‍चलाई पुकारे पनि, कसैले पनि तिनीहरूलाई सहायता गर्नेछैन ।

8 How will I provide for you, Ephraim; how will I protect you, Israel? How will I provide for you as for Adam; will I set you like Zeboiim? My heart has changed within me; together with my regret, it has been stirred up.

ए एफ्राइम, म कसरी तँलाई त्याग्‍न सक्‍छु? ए इस्राएल, म कसरी तँलाई अरूकहाँ सुम्‍पिन सक्‍छु र? म तँलाई कसरी अदमाझैं बनाउन सक्छु? म तँलाई कसरी सबोयीमझैं बनाउन सक्छु? मेरो हृदय मभित्र परिवर्तन भएको छ, र मेरो सम्पूर्ण दया जागेको छ ।

9 I will not act on the fury of my wrath. I will not turn back to utterly destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not man, the Divine in your midst, and I will not advance upon the city.

म आफ्‍नो प्रचण्ड क्रोधलाई प्रयोग गर्नेछैनँ । म फेरि एफ्राइमलाई नष्‍ट गर्नेछैनँ । किनकि म परमेश्‍वर हुँ र म मानिस होइनँ । तिमीहरूका बिचमा म परमपवित्र हुँ, र म क्रोधमा आउनेछैनँ ।

10 They will walk after the Lord; he will roar like a lion. For he himself will roar, and the sons of the sea will dread.

तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको अनुसरण गर्नेछन्, र उहाँ सिंहझैं गर्जनुहुनेछ । जब उहाँ गर्जनुहुन्छ, उहाँका छोराछोरी पश्‍चिमबाट थरथर काम्दै आउनेछन् ।

11 And they will fly like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove from the land of the Assyrians. And I will arrange them in their own houses, says the Lord.

तिनीहरू मिश्रदेशबाट चराझैं र अश्‍शूरबाट ढुकुरझैं काम्दै आउनेछन् । तिनीहरूका आफ्‍नै घरमा बस्‍ने म तिनीहरूलाई बनाउनेछु— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।

12 Ephraim has besieged me with denials, and the house of Israel with deceit. But Judah went down as a witness before God and the holy ones of faith.

एफ्राइमले झुटले, अनि इस्राएलको घरानाले छलले मलाई घेर्छ । तर यहूदाचाहिं अझै पनि म, परमेश्‍वरसँग हिंड्‍दैछ, र म, परमपवित्रमा विश्‍वासयोग्‍य छ ।”
