Isaiah 1

1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

यहूदाका राजाहरू उज्‍जियाह, योताम, आहाज र हिजकियाका समयमा यरूशलेम र यहूदाको बारेमा आमोसका छोरा यशैयाले दखेका दर्शन ।

2 Hear, heavens, and listen, earth; for the LORD has spoken: “I have nourished and brought up children and they have rebelled against me.

ए आकाश सुन्, र ए पृथ्वी कान थाप् । किनकि परमप्रभु बोल्नुभएको छः “मैले छोराछोरीलाई पालनपोषण गरेको र हुर्काएको छु, तर तिनीहरूले मेरो विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गरेका छन् ।

3 The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master’s crib; but Israel does not know. My people do not consider.”

गोरुले आफ्नो मालिक चिन्छ र गधाले आफ्नो मालिकको डूँड चिन्छ, तर इस्राएलले चिन्दैन र इस्राएलले बुझ्दैन ।”

4 Ah sinful nation, a people loaded with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken the LORD. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged and backward.

धिक्‍कार! पापी जाति, अधर्मले लादिएका मानिसहरू, खराब गर्नेहरूका सन्तानहरू, भ्रष्‍ट रूपले काम गर्नेहरूका सन्तानहरू! तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई त्यागेका छन्, तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका परमपवित्रलाई घृणा गरेका छन्, तिनीहरूले आफैलाई उहाँबाट टाढा बनाएका छन् ।

5 Why should you be beaten more, that you revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

तिमीहरूलाई अझै पनि किन पिटाइ खाँदैछौ? तिमीहरू किन झन् विद्रोह गर्छौ? सम्‍पुर्ण टाउको नै बिरामी छ र सम्‍पुर्ण हृदय नै कमजोर छ ।

6 From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it, but wounds, welts, and open sores. They have not been closed, bandaged, or soothed with oil.

शिरदेखि पाउसम्म हानि नभएको कुनै अंग छैन । घाउहरू, चोटपटक र भर्खरका खुल्ला घाउहरू मात्र छन् । ती बन्द गरिएका, सफा गरिएका, पट्टि लगाइएका छैनन्, न त तेलले उपचार गरिएका छन् ।

7 Your country is desolate. Your cities are burned with fire. Strangers devour your land in your presence and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

तिमीहरूका देश विनाश भएको छ । तिमीहरूका सहरहरू भष्‍म पारिएका छन् । तिमीहरूका खेतहरू— नचिनेका मानिसहरूले तिमीहरूकै सामु ती नष्‍ट पारिरहेका छन्— उजाड पारेर छोडिएको छ, नचिनेका मानिसहरूले सर्वनाश पारेका छन् ।

8 The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a field of melons, like a besieged city.

सियोनकी छोरीलाई दाखबारीको कटेरोझैं, काँक्राबारीको छायाझैं र घेरा हालिएको सहरझैं त्यागिएको छ ।

9 Unless the LORD of Armies had left to us a very small remnant, we would have been as Sodom. We would have been like Gomorrah.

सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले हाम्रा निम्‍ति थोरै बाँकी रहेका निम्ति नछोड्नुभएको भए, हामी सदोमझैं हुनेथियौं, हामी गमोराझैं हुनेथियौं।

10 Hear the LORD’s word, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!

ए सदोमका शासकहरू हो, परमप्रभुको वचन सुन । ए गमोराका मानिसहरू, हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरको व्यवस्था सुन ।

11 “What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?”, says the LORD. “I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed animals. I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of male goats.

परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “तिमीहरूका असंख्‍य बलिदानहरू मेरो निम्‍ति के नै हुन् र? थुमाहरूका होमबलि र मोटा पशुहरूका बोसो मसित प्रशस्‍त भएको छ । र साँढेहरू, थुमाहरू वा बोकाहरूका रगतमा म खुसी हुन्‍न ।

12 When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts?

तिमीहरू मेरो सामु देखापर्न आउँदा, यसले मेरा चोकहरू कुल्चोस् भन्‍ने कसको इच्‍छा छ?

13 Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me. New moons, Sabbaths, and convocations— I cannot stand evil assemblies.

व्यार्थका बलिदानहरू ल्याउन छोड । धूप मेरो निम्ति घृणित कुरा हो । तिमीहरूका औंसी र सबाथका सभाहरू— यी दुष्‍ट सभाहरू म सहन सक्दिनँ ।

14 My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They are a burden to me. I am weary of bearing them.

तिमीहरूका औंसीहरू र तिमीहरूका तोकिएका चाडहरूलाई म घृणा गर्छु । ती मेरो निम्ति बोझ हुन् । ती बोहोरेर म थाकिसकेको छु ।

15 When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

त्यसैले तिमीहरूले प्रार्थनामा आफ्‍ना हातहरू फैलाउँदा, तिमीहरूबाट म आफ्‍ना आँखा लुकाउँछु । तिमीहरूले धेरै प्रार्थना चढाए तापनि, म सुन्‍नेछैन । तिमीहरूका हातहरू रगतले भरिएका छन् ।

16 Wash yourselves. Make yourself clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.

नुहाओ र आफूलाई शुद्ध पार । मेरो दृष्‍टिबाट तिमीहरूका सबै दुष्‍ट कामहरू हटाओ । खराब हुन छोड ।

17 Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Defend the fatherless. Plead for the widow.”

असल गर्न सिक । न्याय खोज, थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूलाई छुटाओ, अनाथलाई न्याय देओ र विधवाको रक्षा गर ।”

18 “Come now, and let’s reason together,” says the LORD: “Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “अहिले आओ, हामी मिलेर छलफल गरौं । तिमीहरूका पापहरू बैजनी रङका भए तापनि, ती हिउँजस्‍तै सेता हुनेछन् । ती सिन्दुरे रङका भए तापनि ती ऊनजस्‍तै हुनेछन् ।

19 If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land;

तिमीहरू आज्ञाकारी र इच्‍छुक भयौ भने, तिमीहरूले देशका असल कुरा खानेछौ,

20 but if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured with the sword; for the LORD’s mouth has spoken it.”

तर तिमीहरूले इन्कार गर्‍यौ र विद्रोह गर्‍यौ भने, तरवारले तिमीहरूलाई विनाश पार्नेछ” किनकि परमप्रभुको मुखले यसो भन्‍नुभएको छ ।

21 How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She was full of justice. Righteousness lodged in her, but now there are murderers.

विश्‍वासयोग्‍य सहर कसरी वेश्या भएको छ! त्यो न्यायले पुर्ण थियो— त्यो धर्मिकताले भरिपुर्ण थियो, तर अहिले त्यो हत्याराहरूले भरिएको छ ।

22 Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water.

तिमीहरूका चाँदी अशुद्ध भएको छ, तिमीहरूका दाखमद्य पानी मिसाइएको छ ।

23 Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes and follows after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.

तिमीहरूका शासकहरू विद्रोहीहरू र चोरका साथीहरू हुन् । हरेकले घुसलाई प्रेम गर्छ र उपहारको पछि भाग्‍छन् । तिनीहरूले अनाथहरू रक्षा गर्दैनन्, न त न्‍यायको लागि विधवाको बिन्ति नै तिनीहरूका सामु आउँछन् ।

24 Therefore the Lord, GOD of Armies, the Mighty One of Israel, says: “Ah, I will get relief from my adversaries, and avenge myself on my enemies.

यसकारण सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु, इस्राएलका शक्तिशाली परमपवित्रको घोषणा यो हो, “तिनीहरूलाई धिक्‍कार! आफ्‍ना विरोधीहरूसँग बदला म लिनेछु र आफ्‍ना शत्रुहरूसँग म टो फेर्नेछु ।

25 I will turn my hand on you, thoroughly purge away your dross, and will take away all your tin.

म आफ्‍ना हात तिमीहरूका विरुद्ध उठाउनेछु, अशुद्ध मिश्रण हटाएझैं तिमीहरूका मैला शुद्ध पार्नेछु र तिमीहरूका सबै मैलाहरू हटाउनेछु ।

26 I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called ‘The city of righteousness, a faithful town.’

म तिमीहरूका न्यायकर्ताहरूलाई पहिलेको झैं र तिमीहरूका सल्‍लाहकारहरूलाई सुरुको झैं पुनर्स्थापना गर्ने छु । त्यसपछि तिमीहरू धार्मिकताको सहर र विश्‍वासयोग्य नगर भनिनेछौ ।”

27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her converts with righteousness.

सियोनलाई न्यायले उद्धार गर्नेछ र त्यसमा भएका पश्‍चतापीहरूलाई धार्मिकताले नै उद्धार गर्नेछ ।

28 But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together, and those who forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

विद्रोहीहरू र पापीहरू एकसाथ धूलो पारिनेछन् र परमप्रभुलाई त्याग्‍नेहरू नष्‍ट हुनेछन् ।

29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen.

किनभने तिमीहरूले इच्‍छा गरेका फँलाटका पवित्र रूखहरूसित तिमीहरू लज्‍जित हुनेछौ र तिमीहरूले चुनेका बगैंचाद्वारा नै तिमीहरू हतासमा पर्नेछौ ।

30 For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.

किनभने तिमीहरू पातहरू ओइलाउने फलाँटजस्ता र पानी नभएको बगैंचाजस्ता हुनेछौ ।

31 The strong will be like tinder, and his work like a spark. They will both burn together, and no one will quench them.”

बलिया मानिसहरू चाँडै जल्ने सामग्रीजस्ता र उसको काम एउटा झिल्कोजस्तो हुनेछन् । ती दुवै एकसाथ जल्‍नेछन् र कसैले पनि ती निभाउनेछैन ।”
