Isaiah 8
1 And the Lord said to me, Take a great writing-board, and on it put down in common letters, Maher-shalal-hash-baz;
परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “एउटा ठुलो पाटी ले र त्यसमा लेख्, ‘महेर-शालल-हाज-बज ।'
2 And take true witnesses to the writing, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah, the son of Jeberechiah.
मेरो कुरा पक्का गर्नलाई म विश्वासयोग्य साक्षीहरू अर्थात् पुजारी उरियाह र येबेरक्याहका छोरा जकरियालाई बोलाउनेछु ।”
3 And I went in to my wife, and she became with child, and gave birth to a son. Then the Lord said to me, Give him the name Maher-shalal-hash-baz,
म अगमवादिनीकहाँ गएँ र तिनी गर्भवती भइन् र एउटा छोरा जन्माइन् । तब परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “त्यसको नाउँ महेर-शालल-हाज-बज राख् ।
4 For before the child is able to say, Father, or, Mother, the wealth of Damascus and the goods of Samaria will be taken away by the king of Assyria.
किनकि बालकले 'मेरो बुबा' र 'मेरो आमा' भन्न जान्नअघि नै दमसकसको धन र सामरियाको लूटलाई अश्शूरको राजाले बोकेर लैजानेछ ।”
5 And the Lord said again to me,
परमप्रभु फेरि मसँग बोल्नुभयो,
6 Because this people will have nothing to do with the softly-flowing waters of Shiloah, and have fear of Rezin and Remaliah's son;
“यी मानिसहरूले शीलोको शान्त पानीलाई इन्कार गरेका छन् अनि रसीन र रमल्याहको छोरासित खुसी भएका छन्,
7 For this cause the Lord is sending on them the waters of the River, deep and strong, even the king of Assyria and all his glory: and it will come up through all its streams, overflowing all its edges:
त्यसकारण परमप्रभुले शक्तिशाली र धेरै नदीको पानी अर्थात् अश्शूरका राजा र तिनका सबै महिमा तिनीहरूमाथि ल्याउन लाग्नुभएको छ । त्यसका सबै नहरमा त्यो आउनेछ र त्यसका किनारहरू भरिएर बग्नेछन् ।
8 And it will come on into Judah; rushing on and overflowing, till the waters are up to the neck; and his outstretched wings will be covering the land from side to side: for God is with us.
यो तिमीहरूका घाँटीसम्म पुगुन्जेल नदी बाढी आएर अघि बढ्दै यहूदाभित्रसम्म बग्नेछ । ए इम्मानुएल, यसको फैलिएका पखेटाहरूले तेरो देशकको सबैतिर ढाक्नेछ ।”
9 Have knowledge, O peoples, and be in fear; give ear, all you far-off parts of the earth:
मानिसहरू टुक्रा-टुक्रा हुनेछन् । सुन, ए टाढाका देशहरूः युद्धको निम्ति आफूलाई हतियारले तयार गर र चकनाचूर होओ । आफूलाई हतियारले तयार गर र चकनाचूर होओ ।
10 Let your designs be formed, and they will come to nothing; give your orders, and they will not be effected: for God is with us.
योजना बनाओ, तर यो पुरा हुनेछैन । आज्ञा गर, तर यो पालन गरिनेछैन, किनकि परमेश्वर हामीसँग हुनुहुन्छ ।
11 For the Lord, controlling me with a strong hand, gave me orders not to go in the way of this people, saying,
परमप्रभुले मसँग बोल्नुभयो, उहाँको बलियो बाहुली ममाथि थियो र यी मानिसहरू हिंडेका मार्ग नहिंड्न मलाई चेताउनी दिनुभयो ।
12 Do not say, It is holy, about everything of which this people says, It is holy; and do not be in fear of what they go in fear of.
यी मानिसहरूले षड्यान्त्र भनेको कुनै पनि कुरालाई षड्यान्त्र नभन्, तिनीहरू डराउने कुरासित तँ डराउने छैनस्, र त्रसित नहो ।
13 But let the Lord of armies be holy to you, and go in fear of him, giving honour to him.
तैंले पवित्र मानेर आदर गर्ने परमप्रभु नै हुनुहुन्छ । तैंले उहाँकै भय मान्नुपर्छ र तँ उहाँसितै डराउनुपर्छ ।
14 And he will be for a holy place: but for a stone of falling and a rock of trouble to the two houses of Israel, and to the men of Jerusalem, for a net in which they may be taken.
उहाँ पवित्र वासस्थान हुनुहुनेछ । तर इस्राएलका दुवै घरानाका निम्ति उहाँ प्रहार गर्ने ढुङ्गो र ठेस लाग्ने चट्टान हुनुहुनेछ— र यरूशलेमका मानिसहरूका निम्ति उहाँ पासो र जाल हुनुहुनेछ ।
15 And numbers of them, falling on the stone, will be broken, and will be taken in the net.
धेरै जना मानिस यसमा ठेस खानेछन् र लड्नेछन् र चकनाचूर हुनेछन्, र जाल फस्नेछन् र समातिनेछन् ।
16 Let my teaching be kept secret: and my words be given to my disciples only.
मेरो गवाहीलाई बाँध, आधिकारिक लेखमा छाप लगाऊ र त्यो मेरा चेलाहरूलाई देऊ ।
17 And I will be waiting for the Lord, whose face is veiled from the house of Jacob, and I will be looking for him.
याकूबको घरानाबाट आफ्नो मुहार लुकाउनुहुने परमप्रभु म आशा गर्छु । म उहाँमा भरोसा गर्छु ।
18 See, I and the children whom the Lord has given me, are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of armies, whose resting-place is in Mount Zion.
हेर, म र परमप्रभुले मलाई दिनुभएको छोरा सियोन पर्वतमा वास गर्नुहुने सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुबाट, इस्राएलको निम्ति चिन्हहरू र आश्चर्य कामहरू हुन् ।
19 And when they say to you, Make request for us to those who have control of spirits, and to those wise in secret arts, who make hollow bird-like sounds; is it not right for a people to make request to their gods, to make request for the living to the dead?
तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई भन्नेछन्, “भूत खेलाउने र आत्माहरू खेलाउनेसित सल्लाह लेओ” जसले मन्त्र भन्छन् र गुनगुनाउछन् । तर के मानिसहरूले आफ्नो परमेश्वरसँग सल्लाह लिनुपर्दैन र? के तिनीहरूले जीवितहरूको निम्ति मृतहरूसँग सल्लाह लिनुपर्छ र?
20 Then say to them, Put your faith in the teaching and the witness. ... If they do not say such things. ... For him there is no dawn. ...
व्यवस्था र गवाहीतिर लाग! तिनले यसो भन्दैनन् भने, तिनीहरूसँग बिहानको मिरमिरे उज्यालो नभएको हुनाले नै हो ।
21 And he will go through the land in bitter trouble and in need of food; and when he is unable to get food, he will become angry, cursing his king and his God, and his eyes will be turned to heaven on high;
तिनीहरू अति व्याकूल भएर र भोकाएर देशमा हिंड्नेछन् । जब तिनीहरू भोकाउँछन्, तब तिनीहरू रिसाउनेछन्, र तिनीहरूले आफ्नो अनुहार माथि उचाल्दा, आफ्ना राजा र आफ्ना परमेश्वरलाई सराप्नेछन् ।
22 And he will be looking down on the earth, and there will be trouble and dark clouds, black night where there is no seeing.
तिनीहरूले पृथ्वीमा हेर्नेछन् र व्यकुलता, अन्धकार र अत्याचारको बादल देख्नेछन् । तिनीहरू अन्धकारको देशमा लगिनेछन् ।
