Ezekiel 30
1 परमप्रभुको वचन मकहाँ फेरि आयो। उहाँले भन्नभयो,
2 “हे मानिसको छोरा! मेरा निम्ति केही भन! भन, ‘परमप्रभु मेरा मालिक यसो भन्नुहुन्छरूँनु अनि भन, “हाय! त्यो डरलाग्दा दिन आउँदै छ।”
3 त्यो दिन नजीकै छ। हो परमप्रभुको न्याय गर्ने दिन नजीकै आउँदैछ। त्यो बादल लागेको दिन यो राष्ट्रहरूसँग न्याय गर्ने समय हुनेछ।
4 मिश्रको विरूद्धमा एउटा तरवार चलाइनेछा कूशका मानिसहरू डरले काम्नेछन्! जब त्यहाँ मिश्रको पतन हुन्छ बाबेलका सेनाले मिश्रका मानिसहरूलाई बन्दी जस्तै टाडा लगेर जानेछन्। कैदीहरू जस्तै पारेर टाडा लानेछन्। मिश्रको जगहरू भत्काइनेछन्।
5 “धेरै मानिसहरूले मिश्रसँग शान्ति-संघि गरे। तर कूश, पूत, लूद, समस्त अरब देश, लिबिया अनि इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरू नष्ट हुनेछन्।
6 परमप्रभु मेरा मालिक यसो भन्नुहुन्छ “हो, जसले मिश्रलाई सहायता गर्छ, त्यसको पतन हुन्छ। त्यसको युद्धको घमण्ड नाश हुन्छ। मिग्दोलदेखि आश्वार सम्मको लागि मिश्रका मानिसहरू युद्धमा मारिनेछन्।” परमप्रभु मेरा मालिकले यी कुराहरू भन्नुभयो!
7 मिश्र ती देशहरूसित मिल्नेछ जुन नष्ट गरिएको छ। उसको शहरहरू ती शहरहरूसित मिल्नेछन् जो नष्ट पारिएकाथिए।
8 म मिश्रमा आगो लगाउँछु अनि त्यसको सबै सहायकहरू नष्ट हुनेछन्। त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले थाहा पाँउनेछन् म नै परमप्रभु हुँ।
9 त्यस समयमा म समाचारवाहकहरू पठाउँछु। उसले जहाजहरूमा कूशको नराम्रो खबर पुर्याउन जान्छ। कूश अब आफूलाई सुरक्षित सम्झन थाल्छ। तर जब मिश्रलाई दण्ड दिनेछु त्यस बेला कूशका मानिसहरू डरले काम्नेछन्। त्यो समय आउँदैछ।
10 परमप्रभु मेरो मालिक यसो भन्नुहुन्छ“म बाबेलको राजा नबूकदनेस्सरको प्रयोग गर्छु अनि म मिश्रका मानिसहरूलाई नष्ट पार्छु।
11 नबूकदनेस्सर अनि त्यसका मानिसहरू राष्ट्रहरूमा सर्वाधिक भंयकर छन्। म तिनीहरूलाई मिश्रदेश नष्ट गर्नका निम्ति लिएर आउँछु। तिनीहरूले मिश्रको विरूद्ध आफ्नो तरवार उठाउँनेछन्। त्यो देश लाशले भरिनेछ।
12 म नील नदीलाई सुक्खा जमीन बनाइदिन्छु। तब म सूक्खा जमीन नराम्रो मानिसको हातमा दिन्छु। त्यो देश खाली पार्नका निम्ति म विदेशीहरूको उपयोग गर्नेछु। म परमप्रभुले यो कुराहरू भन्दैछु!”
13 परमप्रभु मेरा मालिक यसो भन्नुहुन्छ“म मिश्रमा मूर्तिहरू नष्ट पार्नेछु! म मूर्तिहरू नोपबाट बाहिर निकाल्छु। भविष्यका निम्ति मिश्र देशमा कुनै पनि शासक हुनेछैन, अनि म मिश्रबाट डर हटाउनेछु!
14 म पत्रोसलाई खाली गरीदिन्छु। म सोअनमा आगो लगाई दिन्छु अनि म नो शहरलाई दण्ड दिनेछु।
15 अनि म सीन नामक मिश्रको किल्लाको विरूद्ध आफ्नो क्रोध वर्षाउँनेछु! म नो शहरको मानिसहरू नष्ट पार्छु।
16 म मिश्रमा आगो लगाउँछु। सीन नामक ठाँउ डरले पीडित हुन्छ, नो शहरमा सैनिकहरू लड्नेछन। अनि नोप शहरमा प्रत्येक दिन नयाँ कष्टमा हुनेछ।
17 ओन अनि पी-बेसेतको युवकहरू युद्धमा मारिनेछन् अनि स्त्रीहरू पक्राउ पर्नेछन् अनि तिनीहरूलाई लगिनेछ।
18 यो तहपबहेसमाको निम्ति अन्धकारको दिन हुनेछ जब म मिश्रको अधिकार तोडी दिन। तिनका घमण्डी शक्ति समाप्त हुनेछ। मिश्र कालो बादल द्वारा ढाकिने छ। अनि मिश्रि केटीहरूलाई कैदी बनाएर लानेछन्।
19 यस्तो प्रकारले म मिश्रलाई दण्ड दिन्छु। त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले थाहा पाउनेछन् म नै परमप्रभु हुँ।”‘
20 देशबाट निकालिएको एघारौं वर्षको प्रथम महिनाको सातौं दिनमा परमप्रभुको वचन मकहाँ आयो। उहाँले भन्नुभयो,
21 “हे मानिसको छोरो, मैले मिश्रको राजा फिराऊनको हात भाँचिदिएँ। कसैले पनि उसको हातमा पट्टी लगाई दिएन। उसको घाउ जाति भएन। यसकारण उसको हात तरवार समात्ने योग्य भएको हुँदैन।”
22 परमप्रभु मेरा मालिक यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “म मिश्रको राजा फिराऊनको विरूद्धमा छु। म त्यसको दुवै हातहरू भाँचिदिन्छु शक्तिशाली हात अनि अर्को भाँचिएको हात। त्यसको तरवारलाई त्यसको हातबाट तल झर्ने बनाउँछु।
23 म मिश्रीहरूलाई राष्ट्रहरूमा तितर-बितर पार्छु।
24 म बाबेलको राजाको हातहरू शक्तिशाली बनाउँछु। म आफ्नो तरवार उसको हातमा दिन्छु। तर म फिराऊनको हात भाँचिदिन्छु। त्यस बेला फिराऊन पीडाले चिच्याउने छ, राजाको चिच्याई एउटा मर्न आँटेको मानिसको जस्तो हुनेछ।
25 यसकारण म बाबेलको राजाको हातहरू शक्तिशाली बनाउँछु, तर फिराऊनको हातहरू काटिएर झर्नेछ। त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले थाहा पाँउनेछन् कि म नै परमप्रभु हुँ।“म बाबेलको राजाको हातमा आफ्नो तरवार दिन्छु। त्यति बेला मिश्र देशको विरूद्धमा आफ्नो तरवार अघाडी बढाउँछु।
26 म मिश्रीहरूलाई राष्ट्रहरूमा तितर-बितर पार्छु। त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले थाहा पाउनेछन् कि म नै परमप्रभु हुँ।”
1 The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Howl ye, Woe worth the day!
3 For the day is near, even the day of the Lord is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.
4 And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
5 Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.
6 Thus saith the Lord; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord God.
7 And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.
8 And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed.
9 In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.
10 Thus saith the Lord God; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.
11 He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.
12 And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I the Lord have spoken it.
13 Thus saith the Lord God; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause their images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.
14 And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No.
15 And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.
16 And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph shall have distresses daily.
17 The young men of Aven and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword: and these cities shall go into captivity.
18 At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.
19 Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
21 Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.
22 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
23 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh’s arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.
25 But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.
26 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the Lord;
3 Thus saith the Lord God; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
4 O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the Lord.
6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The Lord saith: and the Lord hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.
7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The Lord saith it; albeit I have not spoken?
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord God.
9 And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord God.
10 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter:
11 Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it.
12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it.
14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered morter, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it;
16 To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord God.
17 Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,
18 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?
19 And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?
20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.
21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
22 Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:
23 Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
