< Isaiah 66 >

1 This is what the LORD says: “Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool. What kind of house will you build for Me? Or where will My place of repose be?
परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “स्वर्ग मेरो सिंहासन हो र पृथ्वी मेरो पाउदान हो । तब तिमीहरूले मेरो निम्ति भवन कहाँ बनाउने छौ? मैले विश्राम गर्ने ठाउँ कहाँ छ?
2 Has not My hand made all these things? And so they came into being,” declares the LORD. “This is the one I will esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, who trembles at My word.
यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, “यी सबै कुराहरू मेरै हातले बनाएका हुन् । यसरी नै ती हुन आए ।” मैले स्‍याबसी दिने मानिस यही हो, जो आत्मामा तोडिएको र चूर्ण छ र जो मेरो वचनमा काम्दछ ।
3 Whoever slaughters an ox is like one who slays a man; whoever sacrifices a lamb is like one who breaks a dog’s neck; whoever presents a grain offering is like one who offers pig’s blood; whoever offers frankincense is like one who blesses an idol. Indeed, they have chosen their own ways and delighted in their abominations.
जसले गोरु मार्छ त्यसले मानिसको हत्या पनि गर्छ । जसले थुमा बलि चढाउँछ, त्यसले कुकुरको घाँटी पनि भाँच्छ । जसले अन्‍नबलि चढाउँछ त्यसले सुँगुरको रगत पनि चढाउँछ । जसले सम्झना स्वरूप धूप चढाउँछ, त्यसले दुष्‍टतालाई पनि आशिष् दिन्‍छ । तिनीहरूले आफ्नै मार्गहरू रोजेका छन् र आफ्‍ना घृणित थोकहरूमा तिनीहरू रमाउँछन् ।
4 So I will choose their punishment and I will bring terror upon them, because I called and no one answered, I spoke and no one listened. But they did evil in My sight and chose that in which I did not delight.”
त्यसरी नै तिनीहरूको आफ्नो दण्ड म चुन्‍नेछु । तिनीहरूले जे कुराको डर मान्छन् त्यही नै म तिनीहरूमा ल्याउनेछु किनभने मैले बोलाउँदा कसैले जवाफ दिएन । मैले बोलाउँदा कसैले सुनेन । मेरो दृष्‍टिमा जे खराब थियो तिनीहरूले त्यही गरे र मलाई जे कुराले खुसी पर्दैन त्यही गरे ।”
5 You who tremble at His word, hear the word of the LORD: “Your brothers who hate you and exclude you because of My name have said, ‘Let the LORD be glorified that we may see your joy!’ But they will be put to shame.”
परमप्रभुको वचनमा काम्‍नेहरू हो, उहाँको वचन सुन, “तिमीहरूलाई मेरो नाउँको कारणले घृणा गर्ने र बहिस्कार गर्ने तिमीहरूका भाइहरूले भनेका छन्, 'परमप्रभु महिमित हुनुभएको होस्, अनि हामीले तिमीहरूको आनन्द देख्‍नेछौँ,' तर तिनीहरू शर्ममा पारिनेछन् ।
6 Hear the uproar from the city; listen to the voice from the temple! It is the voice of the LORD, repaying His enemies what they deserve!
सहरबाट युद्धको होहल्लाको आवाज आउँछ, मन्दिरबाट एउटा आवाज, परमप्रभुले आफ्‍ना शत्रुहरूलाई बदला लिनुभएको आवाज आउँछ ।
7 “Before she was in labor, she gave birth; before she was in pain, she delivered a boy.
प्रसवको वेथा लाग्‍नुभन्‍दा पहिले नै त्यसले बालक जन्माउनेछे । त्यसमाथि पीडा आउनअगि नै त्यसले छोरा जन्माई ।
8 Who has heard of such as this? Who has seen such things? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be delivered in an instant? Yet as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children.
यस्तो कुरा कसले सुनेको छ? यस्तो कुरा कसले देखेको छ? के देश एकै दिनमा जन्मन्छ? के जाति एकै क्षणमा स्थापित हुन सक्छ? तापनि सियोन प्रसवको वेथामा जाने बित्तिकै, त्यसले आफ्‍ना छोराछोरी जन्माउँछे ।
9 Shall I bring a baby to the point of birth and not deliver it?” says the LORD. “Or will I who deliver close the womb?” says your God.
परमप्रभु सोध्‍नुहुन्छ, “के म बालकलाई जन्मने समयमा ल्याउँ, अनि बालकलाई जन्मिन नदिऊँ? वा के म बालकलाई जन्‍मने क्षणमा ल्याउँ र त्‍यसलाई पछाडि धकेलूँ? तेरा परमेश्‍वर सोध्‍नुहुन्छ ।”
10 Be glad for Jerusalem and rejoice over her, all who love her. Rejoice greatly with her, all who mourn over her,
यरूशलेमसित आनन्दित होओ र त्यसको निम्ति खुसी होओ, तिमीहरू सबै जसले त्यसलाई प्रेम गर्छौ । त्यसको निम्ति विलाप गर्नेहरू सबै त्योसँगै आनन्दित होओ ।
11 so that you may nurse and be satisfied at her comforting breasts; you may drink deeply and delight yourselves in her glorious abundance.
किनकि तिमीहरू खानेछौ र तृप्‍त हुनेछौ । त्यसका स्तनहरूले तिमीहरूलाई सान्त्वना दिनेछ, किनकि तिमीहरू आघाउञ्‍जेल ती पिउनेछौ र त्यसको महिमाको प्रशस्ततासँगै खुसी हुनेछौ ।
12 For this is what the LORD says: “I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flowing stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm, and bounced upon her knees.
परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “त्यसमाथि समृद्धिलाई नदीझैं र जातिहरूका धनलाई उर्लेको खोलाझैं मैले फिंजाउन लागेको छु । तिमीहरूले त्यसको तर्फबाट पालनपोषण गर्नेछौ, त्यसको बाहुलीमा बोकिनेछौ र त्यसको घुँडामा खेलाइनेछौ ।
13 As a mother comforts her son, so will I comfort you, and you will be consoled over Jerusalem.”
आमाले आफ्‍नो बालकलाई सान्त्वना दिएझैं म तिमीहरूलाई सान्त्वना दिनेछु, र यरूशलेममा तिमीहरूले सान्त्वना पाउनेछौ ।”
14 When you see, you will rejoice, and you will flourish like grass; then the hand of the LORD will be revealed to His servants, but His wrath will be shown to His enemies.
तिमीहरूले यो देख्‍नेछौ र तिमीहरूको हृदय आनन्दित हुनेछ, तिमीहरूका हड्‍डीहरू कलिलो घाँसझैं पलाउनेछ । परमप्रभुको बाहुलीले आफ्‍ना सेवकहरूलाई प्रकट गर्नेछ, तर आफ्ना शत्रहरूका विरुद्धमा उहाँले आफ्‍नो रिस प्रकट गर्नुहुनेछ ।
15 For behold, the LORD will come with fire— His chariots are like a whirlwind— to execute His anger with fury and His rebuke with flames of fire.
हेर, परमप्रभु आगोसँगै आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ, र उहाँको क्रोधको ताप र आगोको ज्वालासँगै उहाँको हप्‍की ल्याउनलाई उहाका रथहरूचाहिं आँधीझैं आउँदैछन् ।
16 For by fire and by His sword, the LORD will execute judgment on all flesh, and many will be slain by the LORD.
किनकि परमप्रभुले आगोद्वारा र आफ्‍नो तरवारले मानवजातिमाथि न्याय गर्नुहुन्छ । परमप्रभुद्वारा मारिनेहरू धैरै हुनेछन् ।
17 “Those who consecrate and purify themselves to enter the groves—to follow one in the center of those who eat the flesh of swine and vermin and rats—will perish together,” declares the LORD.
तिनीहरू आफैलाई पवित्र पार्छन् र आफैलाई शुद्ध पार्छन्, ताकि सुँगुरको मासु र मुसाजस्तै घिन लाग्‍दा थोकहरू खानेको पछि लागेर बगैंचाभित्र जान सकून् । तिनीहरूको अन्त्य हुनेछ— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
18 “And I, knowing their deeds and thoughts, am coming to gather all nations and tongues, and they will come and see My glory.
किनकि तिनीहरूका कामहरू र तिनीहरूका विचारहरू म जान्दछु । सबै जातिहरू र भाषाहरू मैले भेला पार्ने समय आउँदैछ । तिनीहरू आउनेछन् र मेरो महिमा देख्‍नेछन् ।
19 I will establish a sign among them, and I will send survivors from among them to the nations—to Tarshish, Put, and the archers of Lud; to Tubal, Javan, and the islands far away who have not heard of My fame or seen My glory. So they will proclaim My glory among the nations.
तिनीहरूको माझमा म आफ्‍नो एउटा शक्तिशाली चिन्ह खडा गर्नेछु । तब म तिनीहरूबाट बाँचेकाहरूलाई जातिहरूकहाँ: तर्शीश, पुट र लुड, आफ्‍ना धनु तान्‍ने धनुर्धारीहरू, तुबल, जावन र टाढाका समुद्रका किनारतिर पठाउनेछु जहाँ तिनीहरूले मेरो बारेमा सुनेका छैनन्, न त मेरो महिमा देखेका छैन् । तिनीहरूले जातिहरूका माझमा मेरो महिमाको घोषणा गर्नेछन् ।
20 And they will bring all your brothers from all the nations as a gift to the LORD on horses and chariots and wagons, on mules and camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the LORD, “just as the Israelites bring an offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD.”
तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूका सबै भाइहरूलाई परमप्रभुको निम्ति बलिदान झैं सबै जातिहरूबाट फिर्ता ल्याउनेछन् । तिनीहरू घोडाहरूमा, रथहरूमा, गाडाहरूमा, खच्‍चरहरूमा र ऊँटहरूमा चढेर मेरो पवित्र पर्वत यरूशलेममा आउनेछन्, परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ । किनकि इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुको भवनमा एउटा शद्ध भाँडामा अन्‍नबलि ल्याउनेछन् ।
21 “And I will select some of them as priests and Levites,” says the LORD.
यिनीहरूमध्ये कसैलाई म पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूको रूपमा पनि चुन्‍नेछु, परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।
22 “For just as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, will endure before Me,” declares the LORD, “so your descendants and your name will endure.
किनकि, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, जसरी मैले बनाउने नयाँ आकाश र नयाँ पृथ्वी मेरो सामु रहनेछन्, त्यसरी नै तिमीहरूका सन्तानहरू र तिमीहरूको नाउँ मेरो सामु रहनेछ ।
23 From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come to worship before Me,” says the LORD.
एक महिनेदेखि अर्कोसम्‍म र एक शबाथ-दिनदेखि अर्कोसम्‍म सबै मानिसहरू मलाई दण्डवत गर्न आउनेछन्, परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।
24 “As they go forth, they will see the corpses of the men who have rebelled against Me; for their worm will never die, their fire will never be quenched, and they will be a horror to all mankind.”
तिनीहरू बाहिर जानेछन् र मेरो विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गर्ने मानिसहरूको लासहरू हेर्नेछन्, किनकि तिनीहरूलाई खाने कीराहरू मर्नेछैनन् र तिनीहरूलाई जलाउने आगो निभ्‍नेछैन । यो सबै मानिसहरूका निम्ति एउटा घृणा हुनेछ ।"
