Isaiah 24
1 Behold, Jehovah makes the earth empty, and makes it waste, and turns it upside down, and scatters abroad the inhabitants of it.
हेर्, परमप्रभुले पृथ्वीलाई रित्तो बनाउन, यसलाई विनाश पार्न, यसको सतहलाई बिगार्न र यसका बासिन्दाहरूलाई तितरबितर पार्न लाग्नुभएको छ ।
2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest, as with the servant, so with his master, as with the maid, so with her mistress, as with the buyer, so with the seller, as with the creditor, so with the debtor, as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest to him.
यो मानिसहरूलाई झैं पुजारीहरूलाई, नोकरलाई झैं मालिकलाई, दासीलाई झैं मलिक्नीलाई, किन्नेलाई झैं बेच्नेलाई, ऋण दिनेलाई झैं ऋण लिनेलाई, ब्याज लिनेलाई झैं ब्याज दिनेलाई हुनेछ ।
3 The earth shall be utterly emptied, and utterly laid waste, for Jehovah has spoken this word.
पृथ्वीलाई पुर्ण रूपमा विनाश गरिनेछ र पुर्ण रूपमा नाङ्गो बनाइनेछ । किनकि परमप्रभुले यो वचन बोल्नुभएको छ ।
4 The earth mourns and fades away. The world languishes and fades away. The lofty people of the earth languish.
पृथ्वी सुख्खा हुनेछ र ओइलाउनेछ, संसार सुक्नेछ र ओइलाएर जानेछ। पृथ्वीका विशिष्ट मानिसहरू दुर्बल हुनेछन् ।
5 The earth also is polluted under the inhabitants of it, because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant.
पृथ्वीलाई यसका बासिन्दाहरूले दूषित पारेका छन्, किनभने तिनीहरूले व्यवस्था भङ्ग गरेका छन्, नियमहरू तोडेका छन् र अनन्तको करार उलङ्घन गरेका छन् ।
6 Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell in it are found guilty. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
यसकारण सरापले पृथ्वीलाई विनाश पार्छ र यसका बासिन्दाहरू दोषी भेट्टाइएका छन् । पृथ्वीका बासिन्दाहरू जलाइन्छन् र थोरै मानिसहरू मात्र बाँकी छन् ।
7 The new wine mourns. The vine languishes. All the merry-hearted do sigh.
नयाँ दाखमद्य सुक्छ, दाख ओइलिन्छ, सबै आनन्दि हृदयहरूले शोक गर्छन् ।
8 The mirth of tambourine ceases. The noise of those who rejoice ends. The joy of the harp ceases.
खैंजडीको सुमधुर आवाज बन्द हुन्छ र आनन्द मनाउनेहरूको आनन्दको सोर पनि बन्द हुन्छ । वीणाको आनन्द बन्द हुन्छ ।
9 They shall not drink wine with a song. Strong drink shall be bitter to those who drink it.
तिनीहरूले फेरि दाखमद्य पिउँदैनन् र गाउँदैनन्, र कडा मद्य पिउनेलाई त्यो तीतो हुन्छ ।
10 The waste city is broken down. Every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
गोलमालको सहरलाई भत्काइएको छ । हरेक घर बन्द गरिएको र रित्तो छ ।
11 There is a crying in the streets because of the wine. All joy is darkened. The mirth of the land is gone.
दाखमद्यको कारणले गर्दा सडकमा चिच्याहट छ । सबै आनन्द अन्धकार भएको छ, देशको खुसी लोप भएको छ ।
12 Desolation is left in the city, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
सहरमा उजाड छोडिएको छ र ढोका भग्नावशेष भएर फुटेको छ ।
13 For thus shall it be in the midst of the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done.
किनकि जस्तो जैतूनको रूखलाई हल्लाउँदा, जस्तो अङ्गुर टिप्दा फाटफुट छुट्छ, सारा पृथ्वीभरि जातिहरू माझ यस्तै नै हुनेछ ।
14 These shall lift up their voice. They shall shout. For the majesty of Jehovah they cry aloud from the sea.
आफ्नो सोरलाई तिनीहरूले उचाल्नेछन् र परमप्रभुको वैभवको जयजयकार गर्नेछन् र समुद्रबाट आनन्दसाथ कराउनेछन् ।
15 Therefore glorify ye Jehovah in the east, even the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the isles of the sea.
यसकारण पुर्वमा परमप्रभुको महिमा गर, समुद्रा टापुहरूमा परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको नाउँलाई महिमा देओ ।
16 From the outermost part of the earth we have heard songs. Glory to the righteous. But I said, I pine away, I pine away. Woe is me! The treacherous have dealt treacherously, yea, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.
हामीले पृथ्वीको सुदूर भागबाट गीतहरू सुनेका छौं, “धर्मी जनको महिमा होस्!” तर मैले भनें, “म सुकेर जाँदैछु, म सुकेर जाँदैछु, मलाई धिक्कार! धोकेबाजले धोकापुर्ण व्यवहार गरेको छ । हो, धोकेबाजले धेरै धोकापुर्ण व्यवहार गरेको छ ।
17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
ए पृथ्वीका बासिन्दाहरू, तिमीहरूमाथि त्रास, खाल्डो र पासो आइलागेको छ ।
18 And it shall come to pass, that he who flees from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit, and he who comes up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare. For the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.
त्रासको आवाजदेखि भाग्ने खाल्डोमा पर्नेछ, खाल्डोको बिचबाट बाहिर निस्कने पासोमा पर्नेछ । स्वर्गका झ्यालहरू खोलिनेछन् र पृथ्वीका जगहरू हल्लिनेछन् ।
19 The earth is utterly broken. The earth is torn apart. The earth is shaken violently.
पृथ्वी पुर्ण रूपमा टुट्नेछ, पृथ्वी चिरा पर्नेछ । पृथ्वीलाई डरलाग्दो किसिमले हल्लाइनेछ ।
20 The earth shall stagger like a drunken man, and shall sway to and fro like a hammock. And the transgression of it shall be heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again.
पृथ्वी मद्यले मातेको मानिसझैं लरखराउनेछ र यो झुप्रोझैं यताउता हल्लिनेछ । यसमाथि यसको पाप भारि हुनेछ र यो पतन हुनेछ अनि फेरि कहिल्यै उठ्नेछैन ।
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will punish the host of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
त्यस दिन परमप्रभुले स्वर्गका सेनाहरूलाई आकाशमा र पृथ्वीका राजाहरूलाई पृथ्वीमा दण्ड दिनुहुनेछ ।
22 And they shall be gathered together as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison. And after many days they shall be visited.
तिनीहरूले कैदीको रूपमा खाल्डोमा एकसाथ जम्मा गरिनेछ र झ्यालखानमा बन्द गरिनेछ । अनि धेरै दिनपछि तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिइनेछ ।
23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, for Jehovah of hosts will reign in mount Zion and in Jerusalem. And glory shall be before his elders.
तब चन्द्रमा लज्जित हुनेछ र सूर्य अपमानमा पर्नेछ, किनकि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले सियोन पर्वतमा र यरूशलेममा अनि महिमामा आफ्ना धर्मगुरुहरूका सामु राज्य गर्नुहुनेछ ।
