Isaiah 47
1 “Go down and sit in the dust, O Virgin Daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, O Daughter of Chaldea! For you will no longer be called tender or delicate.
ए बेबिलोनकी कन्ये छोरी, तल आइज र धूलोमा बस् । ए कल्दीकी छोरी सिंहासनविना नै जमिनमा बस् । तँलाई कदापि सुकुमार र कोमल भनिनेछैन ।
2 Take millstones and grind flour; remove your veil; strip off your skirt, bare your thigh, and wade through the streams.
जाँतो लि र पीठो पिंध् । तेरो घुम्टो हटा, तेरो लामो वस्त्र उतार, तेरा गोडाहरू नाङ्गो पार्, खोलाहरू तर् ।
3 Your nakedness will be uncovered and your shame will be exposed. I will take vengeance; I will spare no one.”
तेरो नाङ्गोन देखिनेछ, हो, तेरो लाज देखिनेछ । म बद्ला लिनेछु र एक जना मानिसलाई पनि छोड्नेछैन ।
4 Our Redeemer—the LORD of Hosts is His name— is the Holy One of Israel.
सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु हाम्रा उद्धारक, इस्राएलको परमपवित्र उहाँको नाउँ हो ।
5 “Sit in silence and go into darkness, O Daughter of Chaldea. For you will no longer be called the queen of kingdoms.
कल्दीकी छोरी, शान्त बस् र अँध्यारोमा जा । किनकि तँलाई कदापि राज्यहरूको रानी भनिनेछैन ।
6 I was angry with My people; I profaned My heritage, and I placed them under your control. You showed them no mercy; even on the elderly you laid a most heavy yoke.
म आफ्ना मानिसहरूसित रिसाएको थिएँ । मैले मेरो उत्तराधिकारलाई अशुद्ध तुल्याएँ र तिनीहरूलाई तेरो हातमा सुम्पें, तर तैंले तिनीहरूलाई कुनै दया देखाइनस् । वृद्ध मानिसहरूमाथि तैंले धेरै गह्रौं जुवा बोकाइस् ।
7 You said, ‘I will be queen forever.’ You did not take these things to heart or consider their outcome.
तैंले भनिस्, “म सदासर्वदा प्रभुत्वशाली रानी भएर राज्य गर्नेछु ।” यी कुराहरूलाई तैंले मनमा राखिनस्, न ती के हुनेछन् भनी तैंले विचार गरिस् ।
8 So now hear this, O lover of luxury who sits securely, who says to herself, ‘I am, and there is none besides me. I will never be a widow or know the loss of children.’
त्यसैले अब यो कुरा सुन, तिमीहरू जो विलासिता रुचाउँछौ र निष्फिक्रि बस्छौ । तिमीहरू जसले आफ्नो मनमा भन्छौ, “म अस्तित्वमा छु, र मजस्तो त्यहाँ अरू कोही छैन । म कहिल्यै विधवाझैं बस्नेछैन, न छोराछोरी नाश भएको अनुभव म कहिल्यै गर्नेछु ।”
9 These two things will overtake you in a moment, in a single day: loss of children, and widowhood. They will come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceries and the potency of your spells.
तर यी दुई कुराहरू एकै दिनमा एकै छिनमा तँलाई हुनेछन्ः छोराछोरीको नाश र विधवापन । तँसँग मन्त्रतन्त्र, टुनामुना र जन्तरहरू भए पनि ती तँमाथि पुरा शक्किका साथ आउनेछन् ।
10 You were secure in your wickedness; you said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and knowledge led you astray; you told yourself, ‘I am, and there is none besides me.’
तैंले आफ्ना दुष्टतामा भरोसा गरिस् । तैंले भनेको छस्, “मलाई कसैले देख्दैन ।” तेरो बुद्धि र तेरो ज्ञानले तँलाई बहकायो तर तैंले आफ्नो मनमा भन्छस्, “म अस्तित्वमा छु, त्यहाँ मजस्तो अरू कोही छैन ।”
11 But disaster will come upon you; you will not know how to charm it away. A calamity will befall you that you will be unable to ward off. Devastation will happen to you suddenly and unexpectedly.
तँमाथि विपत्ति आइपर्नेछ । आफ्नो मन्त्रतन्त्रले तैंले त्यो धपाउन सक्नेछैनस् । तँमाथि विनाश आउनेछ । तैंले त्यसलाई तर्काउन सक्नेछैनस् । तैंले थाहा पाउनुअगि नै विपत्तिले तँलाई अचानक प्रहार गर्नेछ ।
12 So take your stand with your spells and with your many sorceries, with which you have wearied yourself from your youth. Perhaps you will succeed; perhaps you will inspire terror!
आफ्नो तन्त्रमन्त्र र आफ्ना धेरै टुनामुनामा निरन्तर लाग्, जसलाई तैंले आफ्नो बाल्यकालदेखि नै विश्वस्ततासाथ उच्चारण गरेको छस् । सायद तँ सफल हुनेछस्, सायद तैंले विपत्तिलाई भगाउनेछस् ।
13 You are wearied by your many counselors; let them come forward now and save you— your astrologers who observe the stars, who monthly predict your fate.
तेरा धेरै सल्लाहरूदेखि तँ थाकेको छस् । ती मानिसहरू खडा होऊन् र तँलाई बचाऊन्— तिनीहरू जसले आकाशको मानचित्र बनाउँछन्, र ताराहरू हेर्छन्, जसले औंसीको घोषणा गर्छन्— तँलाई जे हुनेछ सोबाट तिनीहरूले नै तँलाई बचाऊन् ।
14 Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up. They cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame. There will be no coals to warm them or fire to sit beside.
हेर, ती परालको झ्यासझैं हुनेछन् । आगोले तिनलाई जलाउनेछ । ज्वालाको हातबाट तिनीहरूले आफूलाई बचाउनेछैनन् । तिनीहरूलाई न्यानो पर्न कुनै भुङ्ग्रो छैन र तिनीहरूले आगो ताप्नलाई आगो छैन!
15 This is what they are to you— those with whom you have labored and traded from youth— each one strays in his own direction; not one of them can save you.
तेरो निम्ति तिनीहरू यस्तै भएका छन्— जससँग तैंले काम गरेको छस्, अनि तिनीहरूसँग तैंले आफ्नो जवानीखि किनबेच गरेको छस्, तिनीहरू हरेक आ-आफ्नै निर्देशनमा भौंतारिए । तँलाई छुटकारा दिने सक्ने त्यहाँ कोही छैन ।”
