< Isaiah 22 >

1 The word about the valley of vision. Why have all your people gone up to the house-tops?
दर्शनको बेसीको विषयमा एउटा घोषणाः के कारणले तिमीहरू सबै जना घरको छतमाथि गएका छौ?
2 You, who are full of loud voices, a town of outcries, given up to joy; your dead men have not been put to the sword, or come to their death in war.
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 gone in flight; all your strong ones have gone far away.
तिमीहरूका सबै शासकहरू एकसाथ भागे, तर धनु समेत प्रयोग नगरी तिनीहरू समातिए । तिनीहरू धेरै टाढा भागेका थिए तापनि तिनीहरू सबै जना एकसाथ समातिए ।
4 For this cause I have said, Let your eyes be turned away from me in my bitter weeping; I will not be comforted for the wasting 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 it is a day of trouble and of crushing down and of destruction from the Lord, the Lord of armies, in the valley of vision; ...
किनकि दर्शनको बेसीमा सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको निम्‍ति कोलाहल, कुल्चिने अलमल पार्ने र पर्खालहरू भत्काउने र मानिसहरू डाँडाहरूतिर रुने दिन हो ।
6 And Elam was armed with arrows, and Aram came on horseback; and the breastplate of Kir was uncovered.
रथीहरू र घोडचढीहरूका साथमा एलामले ठोक्रो लिनेछ र कीरले ढाललाई नाङ्गो बनाउछ ।
7 And your most fertile valleys were full of war-carriages, and the horsemen took up their positions in front of the town.
तेरा उत्तम बेसीहरू रथहरूले भरिनेछन् र घोडचढीहरूले ढोकाहरूमा आफ्‍ना ठाउँ ओगट्नेछन् ।
8 He took away the cover of Judah; and in that day you were looking with care at the store of arms in the house of the woods.
उहाँले यहूदाको सुरक्षालाई हटाउनुभयो । तिमीहरूले त्यस दिन वनको महलमा हतियारहरू हेर्‍यौ ।
9 And you saw all the broken places in the wall of the town of David: and you got together the waters of the lower pool.
तिमीहरूले दाऊदका सहरका प्‍वालहरू देख्यौ, ती धेरै थिए र तिमीहरूले तल्‍लो तलाउबाट पानी जम्‍मा गर्‍यौ ।
10 And you had the houses of Jerusalem numbered, pulling down the houses to make the wall stronger.
तिमीहरूले यरूशलेमा घरहरू गन्यौ र तिमीहरूले पर्खाललाई बलियो पार्न घरहरू भत्कायौ ।
11 And you made a place between the two walls for storing the waters of the old pool: but you gave no thought to him who had done this, and were not looking to him by whom it had been purposed long before.
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 And in that day the Lord, the Lord of armies, was looking for weeping, and cries of sorrow, cutting off of the hair, and putting on the clothing of grief:
त्यस दिन परमप्रभु सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले रुन, विलाप गर्न, कपाल खौरन र भाङ्ग्रा लगाउनलाई बोलाउनुभयो ।
13 But in place of these there was joy and delight, oxen and sheep were being made ready for food, there was feasting and drinking: men said, Now is the time for food and wine, for tomorrow death comes.
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 And the Lord of armies said to me secretly, Truly, this sin will not be taken from you till your death, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.
यो कुरा सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले मेरो कानमा प्रकट गर्नुभयोः “निश्‍चय नै यो अपराधको निम्‍ति मृत्‍युमा पनि तिमीहरूलाई क्षमा हुनेछैन,” परमप्रभु सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।
15 The Lord, the Lord of armies, says, Go to this person in authority, this Shebna, who is over the house; who has made himself a resting-place on high, cutting out a place for himself in the rock, and say,
परमप्रभु सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “यो प्रशासक शेब्‍नाकहाँ जसले महलको रेखदेख गर्छ र भन्,
16 Who are you, and by what right have you made for yourself a resting-place here?
'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 See, O strong man, the Lord will send you violently away, gripping you with force,
हेर्, परमप्रभुले तँलाई फाल्‍न लाग्‍नुभएको छ, ए शक्तिशाली मानिस, तँलाई फाल्‍न लाग्‍नुभएको छ । उहाँले तँलाई कसेर समात्‍नुहुनेछ ।
18 Twisting you round and round like a ball he will send you out into a wide country: there you will come to your end, and there will be the carriages of your pride, O shame of your lord's house!
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 And I will have you forced out of your place of authority, and pulled down from your position.
तेरो अफिसबाट र तेरो ठाउँबाट तँलाई म निकाल्नेछु । तँ तल खसालिनेछस् ।
20 And in that day I will send for my servant, Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah:
त्‍यो दिन यस्‍तो हुनेछ, हिल्कियाहका छोरा मेरो सेवक एल्याकीमलाई म बोलाउनेछु ।
21 And I will put your robe on him, and put your band about him, and I will give your authority into his hand: and he will be a father to the men of Jerusalem, and to the family 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 And I will give the key of the family of David into his care; and what he keeps open will be shut by no one, and what he keeps shut no one will make open.
दाऊदको घरानाको साँचो म उसको काँधमा राख्‍नेछु । उसले खोल्नेछ र कसैले बन्द गर्नेछैन र कसैले खोल्नेछैन ।
23 And I will put him like a nail in a safe place; and he will be for a seat of glory to his father's family.
म त्यसको निम्ति सुरक्षित स्थानमा एउटा किला गाड्‍नेछु र आफ्‍नो पिताको घरानाको निम्ति ऊ गौरवको आसन हुनेछ ।
24 And all the glory of his father's family will be hanging on him, all their offspring, every small vessel, even the cups and the basins.
उसको घराना, सन्तानहरू र वंशको, हरेक सानो भाँडोदेखि कचौराहरू र गाग्रोहरूका गौरव तिनीहरूले उसमा नै राख्‍नेछन् ।
25 In that day, says the Lord of armies, will the nail fixed in a safe place give way; and it will be cut down, and in its fall the weight hanging on it will be cut off, for the Lord has said it.
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 ।
