< Isaiah 61 >
1 The spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make the broken-hearted well, to say that the prisoners will be made free, and that those in chains will see the light again;
परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको आत्मा ममाथि हुनुहुन्छ, किनभने कष्टमा परेकाहरूलाई सुसमाचार घोषणा गर्न परमप्रभुले मलाई अभिषेक गर्नुभएको छ । तोडिएका हृदय भएकाहरूलाई निको पार्न, कैदीहरूलाई छुटकाराको घोषणा गर्न र बन्धनमा परेकाहरूलाई कैदबाट छुटकारा दिन उहाँले मलाई पठाउनुभएको छ ।
2 To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure has come, and the day of punishment from our God; to give comfort to all who are sad;
परमप्रभुको कृपाको वर्ष, हाम्रा परमेश्वरको बदलाको दिनको घोषणा गर्न र शोक गर्नेहरू सबैलाई सान्त्वना दिन उहाँले मलाई पठाउनुभएको छ ।
3 To give them a fair head-dress in place of dust, the oil of joy in place of the clothing of grief, praise in place of sorrow; so that they may be named trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, and so that he may have glory.
सियोनमा शोक गर्नेहरू, तिनीहरूलाई खरानीको सट्टामा एउटा मुकुट, शोकको सट्टामा आनन्दको तेल, निराशाको आत्माको सट्टामा प्रशंसाको आवरण दिन, तिनीहरूलाई धर्मिकताका फलाँटहरू, परमप्रभुको बिरुवा भन्न उहाँले मलाई पठाउनुभएको छ, ताकि उहाँलाई नै महिमा होस् ।
4 And they will be building again the old broken walls, and will make new the old waste places, and will put up again the towns which have been waste for long generations.
तिनीहरूले प्राचीन भग्नावशेषहरूको पुनःनिर्माण गर्नेछन् । तिनीहरूले पहिलेका उजाड अवस्थाहरूबाट पुनर्स्थापना गर्नेछन् । तिनीहरूले भग्नावशेष भएका सहरहरू र पुरानो पुस्ताका उजाड अवस्थाहरूबाट पुनर्स्थापना गर्नेछन् ।
5 And men from strange countries will be your herdsmen, and those who are not Israelites will be your ploughmen and vine-keepers.
विदेशीहरू खडा हुनेछन् र तिमीहरूका भेडाबाख्रा चराउनेछन्, र विदेशीका छोराहरूले तिमीहरूका खेतबारी र दाखबारीहरूमा काम गर्नेछन् ।
6 But you will be named the priests of the Lord, the servants of our God: you will have the wealth of the nations for your food, and you will be clothed with their glory.
तिमीहरूलाई परमप्रभुको पुजारीहरू भनिनेछ । तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई हाम्रा परमेश्वरका सेवकहरू भन्नेछन् । तिमीहरूले जातिहरूकि सम्पत्ति खानेछौ र तिनीहरूका धनहरूमा तिमीहरूले गर्व गर्नेछौ ।
7 As they had twice as much grief, and marks of shame were their heritage, so in their land they will be rewarded twice over, and will have eternal joy.
तिमीहरूको शर्मको साटोमा तिमीहरूले दोब्बर पाउनेछौ । अनि अपमनाको साटोमा तिनीहरू आफ्ना अंशमा आनन्दित हुनेछन् । यसरी तिनीहरूले आफ्नो देशको दोब्बर अंश पाउनेछन् । अनन्तको आनन्द तिनीहरूकै हुनेछ ।
8 For I, the Lord, take pleasure in upright judging; I will not put up with the violent taking away of right; and I will certainly give them their reward, and I will make an eternal agreement with them.
किनकि म परमप्रभुले न्यान मन पराउँछु र म डकैती र अन्यायलाई घृणा गर्छु । तिनीहरूलाई इमानदार भएर म प्रतिफल दिनेछु र तिनीहरूसित म अनन्तको करार बाँध्नेछु ।
9 And their seed will be noted among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples: it will be clear to all who see them that they are the seed to which the Lord has given his blessing.
तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरू जातिहरूका माझमा र तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरू मानिसहरूका बिचमा चिनिनेछन् । तिनीहरूलाई देख्ने सबैले तिनीहरू परमप्रभुले आशिष् दिनुभएका मानिसहरू हुन् भनी स्वीकार गर्नेछन् ।
10 I will be full of joy in the Lord, my soul will be glad in my God; for he has put on me the clothing of salvation, covering me with the robe of righteousness, as the husband puts on a fair head-dress, and the bride makes herself beautiful with jewels.
परप्रभुमा म अत्यन्तै आनन्दित हुनेछु । मेरो परमेश्वरमा म धैरै खुसी हुनेछु । किनकि उहाँले मलाई उद्धारको पोशाक लगाउनुभएको छ । उहाँले मलाई धार्मिकताको वस्त्रले ढाक्नुभएको छ, जसरी एउटा दुलहाले आफूलाई मुकुटले सजाउँछ र एउटी दुलहीले आफूलाई गहनाहरूले सजाउँछे ।
11 For as the earth puts out buds, and as the garden gives growth to the seeds which are planted in it, so the Lord will make righteousness and praise to be flowering before all the nations.
किनकि जसरी पृथ्वीले आफ्ना बिरुवाहरू उमार्छ र जसरी बगैंचाले त्यसका बिरुवाहरू बढाउँछ, त्यसरी नै पमरमप्रभु परमेश्वरले सबै जातिहरूका सामु धार्मिकता र प्रशंसा निस्कने बनाउनुहुनेछ ।
