< Isaiah 5 >

1 Let me sing for my well-beloved a song of my beloved concerning his vineyard. My well-beloved had a vineyard in a very fruitful hill.
मेरो असल प्रियको निम्ति मलाई गाउन, मेरो प्रियको दाखबारीको बारेमा एउटा गीत गाउन दिनुहोस् ।
2 And he dug it, and gathered out the stones of it, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a winepress in it. And he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
उनले यो खने, ढुङ्गाहरू हटाए र त्‍यसमा उत्तम जातको दाख रोपे । उनले त्‍यसको बिचमा एउटा धरहरा बनाए र एउटा दाखको कोल पनि बनाए । उनले दाख उत्पादन गर्ने समयसम्म पर्खे, तर त्‍यसले जङ्गली दाख मात्र फलायो ।
3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.
त्यसैले अब ए यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरू र यहूदाका मानिस हो, म र मेरो दाखबारीको बिचमा न्याय गर ।
4 What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, it brought forth wild grapes?
मेरो दाखबारीको निम्‍ति मैले नगरेको त्यस्‍तो के कुरा त्‍यसको निम्ति गर्न सकिन्थ्यो? त्‍यसले दाख फलाओस् भन्‍ने मेरो आशा हुँदा, त्‍यसले किन जङ्गली दाखहरू फलायो?
5 And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away the hedge of it, and it shall be eaten up. I will break down the wall of it, and it shall be trodden down.
अब म आफ्‍नो दाखबारीलाई के गर्नेछु सो म तिमीहरूलाई भन्‍नेछु, म त्‍यसलाई चरनमा बदल्‍नेछु, त्‍यसको पर्खला म भत्काउनेछु र त्‍यसलाई कुल्चीमिल्ची गरिनेछ ।
6 And I will lay it waste. It shall not be pruned nor hoed, but there shall come up briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
म त्‍यसलाई बरबाद गर्नेछु र यसलाई छाँटकाँट वा खनजोत गरिनेछैन । बरु, यसमा काँढा र सिउँडीहरू उम्रिनेछन् । त्‍यसमाथि वर्ष नहोस् भनी म बादललाई आज्ञा पनि दिनेछु ।
7 For the vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant. And he looked for justice, but behold, oppression, for righteousness, but behold, a cry.
किनकि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको दाखबारी इस्राएलको घराना, र यहूदाका मानिसचाहिं आनन्‍दको बगैंचा हो । न्यायको निम्ति उहाँ पर्खनुभयो, तर त्‍यसको साटोमा त्यहाँ हत्या भयो । धार्मिकताको खोज्नुभयो तर त्‍यसको साटोमा सहायताको निम्‍ति चित्कार आयो ।
8 Woe to those who join house to house, who lay field to field, till there is no room, and ye be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!
ठाउँ नै नरहने गरी घरसित घर जोड्ने र खेतसित खेत जोड्नेहरूलाई धिक्‍कार, र तिमीहरू मात्र देशमा रहन्छौ!
9 In my ears says Jehovah of hosts, of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.
सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, धेरै वटा घर, ठुला र भव्‍य महलसमेत रित्ता हुनेछन्, त्यसमा बस्‍ने कोही हुनेछैन् ।
10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield but an ephah.
किनकि दस हलको दाखबारीले पाँच पाथी दाख र पचास पाथी बीउले पाँच पाथी अन्‍न मात्र उब्‍जाउनेछ ।
11 Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink, who tarry late into the night, till wine inflame them!
कडा मद्य पिउनलाई बिहान सबेरै उठ्नेहरू, मद्यले तिनीहरूलाई चूर नबनाएसम्म राती अबेरसम्म बस्‍नेहरूलाई धिक्‍कार ।
12 And the harp and the lute, the tambourine and the pipe, and wine, are in their feasts, but they do not regard the work of Jehovah, nor have they considered the operation of his hands.
तिनीहरू वीणा, सारङ्गी, बाँसुरी र मद्यसित भोज खान्छन्, तर तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको कामको चिन्‍दैनन्, न त तिनीहरूले उहाँका हातका कामहरूलाई नै विचार गरेका छन् ।
13 Therefore my people have gone into captivity for lack of knowledge, and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude are parched with thirst.
यसकारण सुझबुझको कमीला गर्दा मेरा मानिसहरू निर्वासनमा गएका छन् । तिनीहरूका आदरणिय अगुवाहरू भोक-भोकै हुन्छन् र तिनीहरूका साधारण मानिससँग पिउनलाई कुनै कुरा छैन ।
14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure. And their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
यसकारण चिहानले आफ्‍नो भोकलाई ठुलो पारेको छ र त्‍यसले आफ्नो मुखलाई चौडा पारेको छ । तिनीहरूका कुलीनहरू, मानिसहरू, हल्ले गर्नेहरू र तिनीहरू माझका खुसी हुनेहरू चिहानमा जान्‍छन् । (Sheol h7585)
15 And the common man is bowed down, and the great man is debased, and the eyes of the lofty are humbled,
मानिसलाई निहुरिन बाध्‍य बनाइनेछ र मानवजाति नम्र तुल्याइनेछ । घमण्डीका आँखालाई झुकाइनेछन् ।
16 but Jehovah of hosts is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु आफ्‍नो न्यायमा उच्‍च पारिनुहुनेछ र परमपवित्र परमेश्‍वरले आफ्‍नो धर्मिकताद्वारा आफूलाई पवित्र प्रकट गर्नुहुनेछ ।
17 Then the lambs shall feed as in their pasture, and wanderers shall eat the waste places of the fat ones.
तब भेडाहरू तिनीहरूका आफ्नै चरणमा झैं चर्नेछन् र भग्‍नावशेषमा थुमाहरू परदेशीझैं चर्नेछन् ।
18 Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and sin as it were with a cart rope,
धिक्‍कार तिनीहरूलाई जसले अधर्मलाई व्‍यर्थका डोरीले तान्छन् र पापलाई गाडाको डोरीले झैं तान्छन् ।
19 who say, Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it. And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it!
धिक्‍कार तिनीहरूलाई, जसले भन्छन्, “परमेश्‍वरले हतार गर्नुभएको होस्, उहाँले चाँडै काम गर्नुभएको होस्, यसैले कि हामी यसो भएको देख्‍न सक्‍छौं । र इस्राएलको परमपवरित्रको योजना पुरा होस् ताकि हामीले ती थाहा पाउनेछौं ।”
20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil, who put darkness for light, and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
धिक्‍कार तिनीहरूलाई जसले खराबलाई असल र असललाई खराब भन्छन् । जसले ज्योतिलाई अँध्यारो र अँध्यारोलाई ज्योतिको रूपमा लिन्छन् । अनि तीतोलाई गुलियो र गुलियोलाई तीतोको रूपमा लिन्छन् ।
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
धिक्‍कार तिनीहरूलाई जो आफ्नै आँखामा बुद्धिमान र आफ्नै समझमा चतुर छन्!
22 Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink,
धिक्‍कार तिनीहरूलाई जो दाकमद्य पिउनलाई सिपालु र कडा मद्यहरू मिसाउनमा कुसल छन् ।
23 who justify the wicked for rewards, and take away the justice of the righteous man from him!
जसले घुस लिएर दुष्‍टलाई छोडिदिन्‍छ र निर्दोषलाई उसको अधिकार हनन् गर्छ!
24 Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust, because they have rejected the law of Jehovah of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
यसकारण जसरी आगोको ज्वालाले झिंजामिंजालाई जलाउँछ र जसरी सुकेको घाँस आगोमा भष्‍म हुन्‍छ, त्यसरी नै तिनीहरूका जरा सड्नेछ र तिनीहरूका फूल धूलोझैं उड्‍नेछ । सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको व्यावस्थालाई तिनीहरूले इन्कार गरेका हुनाले यसो हुनेछ, अनि इस्राएलका परमपवित्रको वचनलाई तिनीहरूले घृणा गरेका हुनाले यस्‍तो हुनेछ ।
25 Therefore the anger of Jehovah is kindled against his people, and he has stretched forth his hand against them, and has smitten them. And the mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
यसकारण परमप्रभुको रिस उहाँका मानिसहरूका विरुद्ध दन्किएको छ । उहाँले आफ्नो हात तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा पसार्नुभएको छ र तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनुभएको छ । पहडाहरू काँप्छन् र तिनीहरूका लाशहरू गल्‍लीहरूमा फोहोर झैं छन् । यी सबै कुरामा उहाँको रिस मर्दैन । बरु, उहाँको हात अझै पसारिएको छ ।
26 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will whistle for them from the end of the earth, and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly.
उहाँले टाढाका जातिहरूका निम्ति चिन्हको झण्डा उठाउनुहुनेछ र पृथ्वीको अन्तमा भएकाहरूलाई सुसेलेर बोलाउनुहुनेछ । हेर, तिनीहरू द्रूत गतिमा र तुरुन्तै आउनेछन् ।
27 None shall be weary nor stumble among them. None shall slumber nor sleep, nor shall the belt of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken,
तिनीहरूका माझमा कोही पनि थाक्‍नेछन् न त ठेस खानेछैन् । कोही पनि निदाउनेछैन न त उँघ्‍नेछन् । न त तिनीहरूका पेटीहरू खुकुला हुनेछन्, न त तिनीहरूका जुत्ताका फिताहरू नै खुकुला हुनेछन् ।
28 whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent. Their horses' hoofs shall be accounted as flint, and their wheels as a whirlwind.
तिनीहरूका काँडहरू तीखा छन् र तिनीहरूका सबै धनुहरूमा ताँदो चढाइएका छन् । तिनीहरूका घोडाहरूका खुर चकमक ढुङ्गाहरूजस्ता छन् र तिनीहरूका रथहरूका पाङ्ग्राहरू आँधिजस्ता छन् ।
29 Their roaring shall be like a lioness. They shall roar like young lions. Yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and carry it away safe, and there shall be none to deliver.
तिनीहरूका गर्जन सिंहको जस्तो हुनेछ । जवान सिंहहरूझैं तिनीहरू गर्जनेछन् । तिनीहरू गर्जन्छन् र शिकार समात्‍नेछन् र छुटाउने कोही नभई त्‍यो घिसारेर लैजान्छन् ।
30 And they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. And if a man looks to the land, behold, darkness and distress, and the light is darkened in the clouds of it.
त्यस दिन शिकारको विरुद्धमा तिनीहरू समुद्र गर्जेझैं गर्जनेछन् । कसैले देशलाई हेर्छ भने, उसले अन्धकार र कष्‍ट देख्‍नेछ । प्रकाशलाई पनि बादलले अँध्यारो पार्नेछ ।
