इजकिएल 14

1 इस्राएलका धर्म-गुरुमध्‍ये कोही मकहाँ आए र मेरो सामुन्‍ने बसे ।

Then some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat before me.

2 तब परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,

The LORD’s word came to me, saying,

3 “ए मानिसको छोरो, यी मानिसहरूले आफ्‍ना मूर्तिहरूलाई आफ्‍ना हृदयमा राखेका छन्, र आफ्‍नो अधर्मका ठक्‍कर लाग्‍ने ढुङ्गा आफ्‍नै अनुहारका सामु राखेका छन्‌ । के तिनीहरूले मेरो बारेमा सोध्‍न पाउँछन् र?

“Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their heart, and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face. Should I be enquired of at all by them?

4 यसकारण तिनीहरू यो कुरा घोषणा गर र तिनीहरूलाई यसो भन्, 'परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः इस्राएलका घरानाका हरेक मानिस जसले आफ्‍नो हृदयमा मूर्तिहरू राख्‍छन्, र आफ्‍नो अधर्मको ठक्‍कर लाग्‍ने ढुङ्गा आफ्‍नो अनुहारको सामुन्‍ने राख्‍छन्, र पनि अगमवक्ताकहाँ जान्‍छन्, म परमप्रभुले त्‍यसका मूर्तिहरूका संख्याअनुसार त्‍यसलाई जवाफ दिनेछु ।

Therefore speak to them and tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Every man of the house of Israel who takes his idols into his heart and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face then comes to the prophet, I the LORD will answer him there according to the multitude of his idols,

5 आफ्‍ना मूर्तिहरूको कारण आफ्‍ना हृदयहरू मबाट टाढा भएका इस्राएलका घरानालाई मैले फर्काउन सकौं भनेर म यसो गर्नेछु ।’

that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.”’

6 यसकारण इस्राएलका घरानालाई यसो भन्, 'परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः पश्‍चात्ताप गर र आफ्‍ना मूर्तिहरूदेखि फर्क । सबै घिनलाग्‍दा कुराबाट आफ्ना मुख फर्काओ ।

“Therefore tell the house of Israel, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Return, and turn yourselves from your idols! Turn away your faces from all your abominations.

7 किनकि इस्राएलका घरानाको हरेक व्‍यक्‍ति र इस्राएलमा बस्‍ने हरेक विदेशी व्‍यक्‍ति जसले मलाई त्‍याग्‍छ, जसले आफ्‍ना मूर्तिहरू आफ्‍ना हृदयमा राख्‍छ र आफ्‍नो अधर्मको ठक्‍कर लाग्‍ने ढुङ्गा आफ्‍नै अनुहारको सामु राख्‍छ, र त्‍यसपछि मलाई खोज्‍न कुनै अगमवक्ताकहाँ जान्‍छ, त्‍यसलाई म परमप्रभु आफैले जवाफ दिनेछु ।

“‘“For everyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live in Israel, who separates himself from me and takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet to enquire for himself of me, I the LORD will answer him by myself.

8 यसरी म आफ्‍नो मुख त्‍यस मानिसको विरुद्धमा लगाउनेछु, र त्‍यसलाई एउटा सङ्केत र उखानको पात्र बनाउनेछु, किनकि त्‍यसलाई म आफ्‍ना मानिसहरूका बिचदेखि बहिष्‍कार गर्नेछु र म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी तिमीहरूले जान्‍नेछौ ।

I will set my face against that man and will make him an astonishment, for a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from amongst my people. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

9 कुनै एक जना अगमवक्ता छलमा पर्छ र यस्‍तो सन्देश भन्‍छ भने, म परमप्रभुले त्‍यस अगमवक्ता छलमा पार्नेछु । म आफ्‍ना हात त्‍यसको विरुद्धमा पसार्नेछु, र मेरो मानिस इस्राएलको बिचबाट त्‍यसलाई नाश गर्नेछु ।

“‘“If the prophet is deceived and speaks a word, I, the LORD, have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand on him, and will destroy him from amongst my people Israel.

10 तिनीहरूका आफ्‍ना अपराध तिनीहरूले बोक्‍नेछन् । अगमवक्ताको अपराधचाहिं र उसँग सल्‍लाह लिनेको अपराधजस्‍तै हुनेछ ।

They will bear their iniquity. The iniquity of the prophet will be even as the iniquity of him who seeks him,

11 यसकारण, इस्राएलका घरानाले मलाई पछ्‍याउनदेखि फेरि कहिल्‍यै बरालिनेछैनन्‌ न त आफ्‍ना सबै पापहरूले तिनीहरूले फेरि कहिल्‍यै आफैलाई अपवित्र पार्नेछन्‌ । तिनीहरू मेरा मानिसहरू हुनेछन्‌ र म तिनीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुनेछु । यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो ।’”

that the house of Israel may no more go astray from me, neither defile themselves any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God,” says the Lord GOD.’”

12 तब परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,

The LORD’s word came to me, saying,

13 “ए मानिसको छोरो, कुनै देशले पाप गरेर मेरो विरुद्धमा पाप गर्छ, ताकि त्‍यसको विरुद्धमा आफ्‍नो हात पसारें र त्‍यसको खाद्य भण्‍डार म नाश गरें, र अनिकाल ल्‍याएँ र मानिस र पशु दुवैलाई नाश गरें भने,

“Son of man, when a land sins against me by committing a trespass, and I stretch out my hand on it, and break the staff of its bread and send famine on it, and cut off from it man and animal—

14 तब नोआ, दानिएल र अय्‍यूब, यी तिन जना मानिसहरू त्‍यहाँ भए भने पनि तिनीहरूले आफ्‍नो धार्मिकताद्वारा आफ्‍नै प्राण मात्र बचाउन सक्‍छन् । यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो ।

though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver only their own souls by their righteousness,” says the Lord GOD.

15 मैले त्‍यस देशमा जङ्गली जनावरहरू पठाएँ, र तिनीहरूले त्‍यसलाई बाँझो तुल्‍याए र त्‍यो देश उजाड भयो, जहाँ जनावरहरूका कारणले कुनै मानिस गएन भने,

“If I cause evil animals to pass through the land, and they ravage it and it is made desolate, so that no man may pass through because of the animals—

16 तब यी तिन जना मानिस त्‍यहाँ भए भने पनि, जस्‍तो म जीवित छु, परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, तिनीहरूले आफ्‍नै छोराछोरीलाई पनि बचाउन सक्‍दैनन् । तिनीहरूका आफ्‍नो जीवन मात्र बाँच्‍नेछ, तर देशचाहिं उजाड हुनेथियो ।

though these three men were in it, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “they would deliver neither sons nor daughters. They only would be delivered, but the land would be desolate.

17 अथवा मैले त्‍यस देशको विरुद्धमा तरवार ल्‍याएँ र यसो भनें, 'ए तरवार, देशभरि जा र त्‍यहाँबाट मानिसहरू र जनावरहरू दुवैलाई काट् ।'

“Or if I bring a sword on that land, and say, ‘Sword, go through the land, so that I cut off from it man and animal’—

18 तब यी तिन जना मानिस त्‍यो दैशको बिचमा भए भने पनि, जस्‍तो म जीवित छु, परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर भन्‍नुहुन्‍छ, तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना छोराछोरीलाई बचाउन सक्‍दैनन् । तिनीहरूका आफ्‍नो जीवन मात्र बाँच्‍नेछ ।

though these three men were in it, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “they would deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only would be delivered themselves.

19 अथवा मैले यो देशको विरुद्धमा रूढी पठाएँ र रगत बगाएर त्‍यसका मानिसहरू र पशुहरूलाई मारेर मैले आफ्‍नो क्रोध पोखाएँ भने,

“Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my wrath on it in blood, to cut off from it man and animal—

20 तब नोआ, दानिएल र अय्‍यूब त्‍यो देशमा भए भने पनि, जस्‍तो म जीवित छु, परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर भन्‍नुहुन्‍छ, तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना छोराछोरीलाई बचाउन सक्‍दैनन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्‍नो धार्मिकताद्वारा आफ्‍नै प्राण मात्र बचाउन सक्‍छन् ।

though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “they would deliver neither son nor daughter; they would deliver only their own souls by their righteousness.”

21 किनकि परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः यरूशलेमको विरुद्धा मेरा चारवटा दण्‍डहरू— तरवार, अनिकाल, जङ्गली पशुहरू र रूढी पठाएर, त्‍यहाँका मानिस र पशुहरू दुवैलाई देशबाट नाश गरेर म धैरै खराब तुल्‍याउनेछु ।

For the Lord GOD says: “How much more when I send my four severe judgements on Jerusalem—the sword, the famine, the evil animals, and the pestilence—to cut off from it man and animal!

22 तापनि हेर्, त्‍यसमा कोही बाँकी हुनेछन्‌, र बचेकाहरू आफ्‍ना छोराहरू र छोरीहरूका साथमा बाहिर निस्‍केर जानेछन्‌ । हेर्, तिनीहरू बाहिर तिमीहरूकहाँ आउनेछन्, र तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूका चालहरू र कामहरू हेर्नेछौ, र मैले यरूशलेममा ल्‍याएका ती दण्‍ड र देशको विरुद्ध मैले ल्याएका सबै कुराबाट तिमीहरूलाई सान्‍त्‍वना हुनेछ ।

Yet, behold, there will be left a remnant in it that will be carried out, both sons and daughters. Behold, they will come out to you, and you will see their way and their doings. Then you will be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought on it.

23 बाँचेकाहरूका चाल र कामहरू देखेर तिमीहरूले सान्‍त्‍वना पाउनेछौ, यसरी मैले त्‍यसको विरुद्धमा गरेका यी सबै कुरा, र ती मैले व्‍यर्थमा गरिनँ भनी तिमीहरूले जान्‍नेछौ । यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो ।

They will comfort you, when you see their way and their doings; then you will know that I have not done all that I have done in it without cause,” says the Lord GOD.
