Hosea 4
imaamon par rabb ka ilzaam
1ai israaeeliyo, rabb ka kalaam suno! kyoonki rabb ka mulk kay baashindon say muqaddma hai. “ilzaam yah hai ki mulk men na vafaadaaree, na meharbaanee aur na allaah ka irfaan hai. 2kosna, jhoot bolna, choree aur zina karna aam ho gaya hai. roz-ba-roz qatl-o-ghaarat kee naee khabren miltee rahetee hain. 3isee liyay mulk men kaal hai aur us kay tamaam baashinday pajhmurda ho gaay hain. janglee jaanvar, parinday aur machhliyaan bhee fana ho rahee hain.
4lekin bilaavajah kisee par ilzaam mat lagaana, na khwaah-m-khwaah kisee kee tambeeh karo! ai imaamo, main tum hee par ilzaam lagaata hoon. 5ai imaamo, din kay vaqt too thokar kha kar girega, aur raat kay vaqt nabee gir kar teray saath pada rahega. main teree maan ko bhee tabaah karoonga. 6afsos, meree qaum is liyay tabaah ho rahee hai ki vah saheeh ilm naheen rakhtee. aur kya ajab jab tum imaamon nay yah ilm radd kar diya hai. ab main tumhen bhee radd karta hoon. aainda tum imaam kee khidmat ada naheen karogay. choonki tum apnay khuda kee shareeat bhool gaay ho is liyay main tumhaaree aulaad ko bhee bhool jaaoonga.
7imaamon kee taadaad jitnee badhtee gaee utna hee vah mera gunaah kartay gaay. unhon nay apnee izzat aisee cheez kay ivz chhod dee jo rusvaaee ka baais hai. 8meree qaum kay gunaah un kee khuraak hain, aur vah is laalach men rahetay hain ki logon ka qusoor mazeed badh jaaay. 9chunaanchay imaamon aur qaum kay saath ek jaisa sulook kiya jaaega. donon ko main un kay chaal-chalan kee saza doonga, donon ko un kee harkaton ka ajr doonga. 10khaana to vah khaaengay lekin ser naheen hongay. zina bhee kartay rahengay, lekin befaaida. is say un kee taadaad naheen badhegee. kyoonki unhon nay rabb ka khayaal karna chhod diya hai.
11zina karnay aur naee aur puraanee mai peenay say logon kee aqal jaatee rahetee hai. 12meree qaum lakdee say darayaaft kartee hai ki kya karna hai, aur us kee laathee usay hidaayat detee hai. kyoonki zinaakaaree kee rooh nay unhen bhatka diya hai, zina kartay kartay vah apnay khuda say kaheen door ho gaay hain. 13vah pahaadon kee chotiyon par apnay jaanvaron ko qurbaan kartay hain aur pahaadiyon par chadh kar baloot, safeda ya kisee aur darakht kay khushgavaar saay men bakhoor kee qurbaaniyaan pesh kartay hain. isee liyay tumhaaree betiyaan ismatafarosh ban gaee hain, aur tumhaaree bahooen zina kartee hain. 14lekin main unhen un kee ismatafaroshee aur zinaakaaree kee saza kyoon doon jabki tum mard kasbiyon say sohbat rakhtay aur devtaaon kee khidmat men ismatafaroshee karnay vaalee aurton kay saath qurbaaniyaan chadhaatay ho? aisee harkaton say naasamajh qaum tabaah ho rahee hai.
15ai israaeel, too ismatafarosh hai, lekin yahoodaah khabardaar rahay ki vah is jurm men mulavvas na ho jaaay. israaeel kay shaheron jiljaal aur bait-aavan [a] bait-aavan yaanee gunaah ka ghar say muraad bait-el hai. kee qurbaanagaahon kay paas mat jaana. aisee jagahon par rabb ka naam lay kar us kee hayaat kee qasam khaana mana hai. 16israaeel to ziddee gaay kee tarah ad gaya hai. to phir rabb unhen kis tarah sabzaazaar men bhed kay bachchon kee tarah chara sakta hai?
17israaeel [b] hosea kay ibraanee matan men yahaan aur bahut dafa ifraaeem mustaamal hai jis say muraad shimaalee mulk-ay-israaeel hai. to buton ka ittihaadee hai, usay chhod day! 18yah log sharaab kee mahefil say faarigh ho kar zinaakaaree men lag jaatay hain. vah naajaaiz muhabbat kartay kartay kabhee naheen thaktay. lekin is ka ajr un kee apnee beizzatee hai. 19aandhee unhen apnee lapet men lay kar uda lay jaaegee, aur vah apnee qurbaaniyon kay baais sharminda ho jaaengay.
