< Isaiah 22 >

1 This is the burden against the Valley of Vision: What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the rooftops,
दर्शनको बेसीको विषयमा एउटा घोषणाः के कारणले तिमीहरू सबै जना घरको छतमाथि गएका छौ?
2 O city of commotion, O town of revelry? Your slain did not die by the sword, nor were they killed in battle.
होहल्लाले भरिएको सहर र खुसीले भरिएको नगरका आवाजहरू सुन्‍नलाई तिमीहरूले त्‍यसो गरेका हौ? तिमीहरूका मृतहरू तरवारले मारिएको थिएनन् र तिनीहरू युद्धमा मरेनन् ।
3 All your rulers have fled together, captured without a bow. All your fugitives were captured together, having fled to a distant place.
तिमीहरूका सबै शासकहरू एकसाथ भागे, तर धनु समेत प्रयोग नगरी तिनीहरू समातिए । तिनीहरू धेरै टाढा भागेका थिए तापनि तिनीहरू सबै जना एकसाथ समातिए ।
4 Therefore I said, “Turn away from me, let me weep bitterly! Do not try to console me over the destruction of the daughter of my people.”
यसकारण मैले भनें, “मलाई नहेर, म धुरुधुरु रुनेछु । मेरा मानिसहरूका छोरीको विनाशको बारेमा मलाई सान्त्वना दिने कोसिस नगर ।”
5 For the Lord GOD of Hosts has set a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in the Valley of Vision— of breaking down the walls and crying to the mountains.
किनकि दर्शनको बेसीमा सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको निम्‍ति कोलाहल, कुल्चिने अलमल पार्ने र पर्खालहरू भत्काउने र मानिसहरू डाँडाहरूतिर रुने दिन हो ।
6 Elam takes up a quiver, with chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovers the shield.
रथीहरू र घोडचढीहरूका साथमा एलामले ठोक्रो लिनेछ र कीरले ढाललाई नाङ्गो बनाउछ ।
7 Your choicest valleys are full of chariots, and horsemen are posted at the gates.
तेरा उत्तम बेसीहरू रथहरूले भरिनेछन् र घोडचढीहरूले ढोकाहरूमा आफ्‍ना ठाउँ ओगट्नेछन् ।
8 He has uncovered the defenses of Judah. On that day you looked to the weapons in the House of the Forest.
उहाँले यहूदाको सुरक्षालाई हटाउनुभयो । तिमीहरूले त्यस दिन वनको महलमा हतियारहरू हेर्‍यौ ।
9 You saw that there were many breaches in the walls of the City of David. You collected water from the lower pool.
तिमीहरूले दाऊदका सहरका प्‍वालहरू देख्यौ, ती धेरै थिए र तिमीहरूले तल्‍लो तलाउबाट पानी जम्‍मा गर्‍यौ ।
10 You counted the houses of Jerusalem and tore them down to strengthen the wall.
तिमीहरूले यरूशलेमा घरहरू गन्यौ र तिमीहरूले पर्खाललाई बलियो पार्न घरहरू भत्कायौ ।
11 You built a reservoir between the walls for the waters of the ancient pool, but you did not look to the One who made it, or consider Him who planned it long ago.
तिमीहरूले पुरानो पानीलो तलाउको निम्ति पर्खालहरूको बिचमा एउटा जलाशय बनायौ । तर तिमीहरूले सहरको निर्माणकर्तालाई विचार गरेनौ, जसले धेरै पहिले नै यसको योजना गर्नुभएको थियो ।
12 On that day the Lord GOD of Hosts called for weeping and wailing, for shaven heads and the wearing of sackcloth.
त्यस दिन परमप्रभु सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले रुन, विलाप गर्न, कपाल खौरन र भाङ्ग्रा लगाउनलाई बोलाउनुभयो ।
13 But look, there is joy and gladness, butchering of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”
तर त्‍यसको साटोमा हेर, उत्सव र खुसी, गाइवस्तु काट्ने र भेडाहरू मार्ने, मासु खाने र दाखमद्य पिउने गरियो । हामी खाऔं र पिऔं, किनकि भोलि हामी मर्नेछौं भन्‍दैछन् ।
14 The LORD of Hosts has revealed in my hearing: “Until your dying day, this sin of yours will never be atoned for,”
यो कुरा सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले मेरो कानमा प्रकट गर्नुभयोः “निश्‍चय नै यो अपराधको निम्‍ति मृत्‍युमा पनि तिमीहरूलाई क्षमा हुनेछैन,” परमप्रभु सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।
15 This is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “Go, say to Shebna, the steward in charge of the palace:
परमप्रभु सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “यो प्रशासक शेब्‍नाकहाँ जसले महलको रेखदेख गर्छ र भन्,
16 What are you doing here, and who authorized you to carve out a tomb for yourself here—to chisel your tomb in the height and cut your resting place in the rock?
'तैंले यहाँ के गरिरहेको छस्, अनि आफ्नो निम्ति चिहान खोप्‍न, उच्‍च टाउँमा चिहान खन्‍न र चट्टानमा विश्राम गर्ने ठाउँ कुँद्‍न तँलाई कसले अनुमति दियो?”
17 Look, O mighty man! The LORD is about to shake you violently. He will take hold of you,
हेर्, परमप्रभुले तँलाई फाल्‍न लाग्‍नुभएको छ, ए शक्तिशाली मानिस, तँलाई फाल्‍न लाग्‍नुभएको छ । उहाँले तँलाई कसेर समात्‍नुहुनेछ ।
18 roll you into a ball, and sling you into a wide land. There you will die, and there your glorious chariots will remain—a disgrace to the house of your master.
निश्‍चय नै उहाँले तँलाई हावामा फनफन घुमाउनुहुनेछ र ठुलो देशमा बल फालेझैं फाल्‍नुहुनेछ । तँ त्यहाँ नै मर्नेछस्, तेरा गौरवशालि रथहरू त्यहाँ हुनेछन् । तँ तेरो मालिकको महलमा तँ शर्ममा पर्नेछस् ।
19 I will remove you from office, and you will be ousted from your position.
तेरो अफिसबाट र तेरो ठाउँबाट तँलाई म निकाल्नेछु । तँ तल खसालिनेछस् ।
20 On that day I will summon My servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah.
त्‍यो दिन यस्‍तो हुनेछ, हिल्कियाहका छोरा मेरो सेवक एल्याकीमलाई म बोलाउनेछु ।
21 I will clothe him with your robe and tie your sash around him. I will put your authority in his hand, and he will be a father to the dwellers of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
तेरो अलखा म उसलाई लगाइदिनेछु र तेरो पटुका उसलाई बाँधिदिनेछु, तेरो अधिकार म उसको हातमा सुम्‍पिनेछु । यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरू र यहूदाका घरानाको निम्ति निम्ति ऊ नै पिता हुनेछ ।
22 I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.
दाऊदको घरानाको साँचो म उसको काँधमा राख्‍नेछु । उसले खोल्नेछ र कसैले बन्द गर्नेछैन र कसैले खोल्नेछैन ।
23 I will drive him like a peg into a firm place, and he will be a throne of glory for the house of his father.
म त्यसको निम्ति सुरक्षित स्थानमा एउटा किला गाड्‍नेछु र आफ्‍नो पिताको घरानाको निम्ति ऊ गौरवको आसन हुनेछ ।
24 So they will hang on him the whole burden of his father’s house: the descendants and the offshoots—all the lesser vessels, from bowls to every kind of jar.
उसको घराना, सन्तानहरू र वंशको, हरेक सानो भाँडोदेखि कचौराहरू र गाग्रोहरूका गौरव तिनीहरूले उसमा नै राख्‍नेछन् ।
25 In that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, the peg driven into a firm place will give way; it will be sheared off and fall, and the load upon it will be cut down.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken.
यो सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो— त्यो दिन सुरक्षित स्थानमा गडिएको किलाले ठाउँ छोड्‍नेछ, भाँचिनेछ र ढल्‍नेछ अनि त्यसमा भएको भार हटाइनेछ— किनकि परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभएको छ ।
