< Esias 28 >

1 Woe to the crown of pride, the hirelings of Ephraim, the flower that has fallen from the glory of the top of the fertile mountain, they that are drunken without wine.
एफ्राइमका प्रत्‍येक मतवालाहरूले लगाएका गौरवशाली फुलमाला र त्‍यसको महिमित सुन्दरताको ओइलाउने फुललाई, दाखमद्यले लट्ठ परेकाहरूका हरियाली बेसीको शिरमा लगाइएको फुलमालालाई धिक्‍कार!
2 Behold, the anger of the Lord is strong and severe, as descending hail where there is no shelter, violently descending; as a great body of water sweeping away the soil, he shall make rest for the land.
हेर, परमप्रभुले शक्तिशाली र बलियो एक जनालाई, असिनाको हुरीबतासझैं अनि विनाशकारी आँधीझैं, मुसलधार झरी र बाडीको पानीझैं पठाउनुहुन्‍छ र उहाँले प्रत्‍येक फुलमालालाई जमिनमा फाल्‍नुहुनेछ ।
3 The crown of pride, the hirelings of Ephraim, shall be beaten down with the hands and with the feet.
एफ्राइमका मतवालाहरूका गौरवशाली फुलमालालाई खुट्टाले कुल्चिमिल्ची गरिनेछ ।
4 And the fading flower of the glorious hope on the top of the high mountain shall be as the early fig; he that sees it, before he takes it into his hand, will desire to swallow it down.
त्‍यसको महिमित सुन्दरताको ओइलाउने फुल अर्थात् धनी बेसीको शिरमा रहेको छ, त्‍यो पहिले पाकेको अन्‍जिरजस्‍तो हुनेछ, जब कसैले त्‍यसलाई देख्‍छ, तब आफ्नो हातमा हुँदा नै त्यसले त्‍यो निलिहाल्‍छ ।
5 In that day the Lord of hosts shall be the crown of hope, the woven [crown] of glory, to the remnant of the people.
त्यो दिनमा सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु नै सुन्दर मुकुट बन्‍नुहुनेछ र आफ्‍ना बाँकी रहेका मानिसहरूका निम्‍ति महिमाको मुकुट बन्‍नुहुनेछ ।
6 They shall be left in the spirit of judgment for judgment, and for the strength of them that hinder slaying.
न्याय आसनमा बस्‍नेको निम्ति न्यायको आत्मा र आफ्‍ना ढोकाहरूमा आफ्ना शत्रुलाई फर्काउनेहरूका निम्ति सामर्थ्य हुनुहुनेछ ।
7 For these have trespassed through wine; they have erred through strong drink: the priest and the prophet are mad through strong drink, they are swallowed up by reason of wine, they have staggered through drunkenness; they have erred: this is [their] vision.
तर यिनीहरू पनि दाखमद्यले लरबराउछन् र कडा मद्यले लरखराउछन् । पुजारी र अगमवक्ता कडा मद्यले लरखाराउछन् र दाखमद्यले तिनीहरूलाई निल्छ । कडा मद्यले तिनीहरू लरखराउँछन्, तिनीहरू दर्शनमा लरखराउँछन् र निर्णयमा लरबराउँछन् ।
8 A curse shall devour this counsel, for this [is their] counsel for the sake of covetousness.
साँच्‍चै नै सबै टेबलहरू बान्ताले ढाकेकोछ, जसले गर्दा त्यहाँ कुनै सफा ठाउँ नै छैन ।
9 To whom have we reported evils? and to whom have we reported a message? [even to those] that are weaned from the milk, who are drawn from the breast.
त्यसले कसलाई ज्ञान सिकाउनेछ र त्यसले कसलाई सन्देश बताउनेछ? जसलाई दूध छोडाइएका छन् वा जसलाई बरखरै दूधबाट अलग गरिका छन्?
10 Expect thou affliction on affliction, hope upon hope: yet a little, [and] yet a little,
किनकि यो आज्ञामाथि आज्ञा, आज्ञामाथि आज्ञा, नियममाथि नियम, नियममाथि नियम, अलिकति यहाँ, अलिकति त्यहाँ ।
11 by reason of the contemptuous [words] of the lips, by means of another language: for they shall speak to this people, saying to them,
साच्‍चै, यी मानिहरूसँग उहाँले गिल्‍ला गर्ने ओठहरू र विदेशी भाषामा बोल्‍नुहुनेछ ।
12 This is the rest to him that is hungry, and this is the calamity: but they would not hear.
विगतमा उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “यो विश्राम हो, जो थकित हुन्‍छ त्यसलाई विश्राम गर्न देओ । अनि यो ताजा हुने कुरा हो,” तर तिनीहरू सुन्‍दैनन् ।
13 Therefore the oracle of God shall be to them affliction on affliction, hope on hope, yet a little, [and] yet a little, that they may go and fall backward; and they shall be crushed and shall be in danger, and shall be taken.
त्यसैले तिनीहरूको निम्ति परमप्रभुको वचन आज्ञामाथि आज्ञा, आज्ञामाथि आज्ञा, नियममाथि नियम, नियममाथि नियम, अलिकति यहाँ, अलिकति त्यहाँ हुनेछ । ताकि तिनीहरू जान र पछि हट्न र तोडिन र समातिन सक्छन् ।
14 Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, ye afflicted men, and ye princes of this people that is in Jerusalem.
त्यसैले ए गिल्ला गर्नेहरू हो, तिमीहरू जसले यरूशलेममा भएका यी मानिसहरूमाथि राज्‍य गर्छौ, तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुको वचन सुन ।
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with Hades, and agreements with death; if the rushing storm should pass, it shall not come upon us: we have made falsehood our hope, and by falsehood shall we be protected: (Sheol h7585)
तिमीहरूले यसो भनेका हुनाले यस्‍तो हुनेछ, “हामीले मृत्युसित करार बाँधेका छौं र चिहनसँग हामी समहती गरेका छौं । त्यसैले डरलाग्‍दो कोर्राले हामीलाई भेट्टाउँदा, त्‍यो हामीकहाँ पुग्‍नेछैन । किनकि हामीले झुठलाई हाम्रो शरणस्थान बनाएका छौं र असत्‍यमा वास बसेका छौं।” (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord, [even] the Lord, Behold, I lay for the foundations of Sion a costly stone, a choice, a corner-stone, a precious [stone], for its foundations; and he that believes [on him] shall by no means be ashamed.
यसकारण परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर भन्‍नहुन्छ, “हेर्, म सियोनमा एउटा जगको ढुङ्गा, जाँचिएको ढुङ्गा, बहुमूल्‍य कुनेढुङ्गा, एउटा बलयो जग राख्‍नेछु । जसले विश्‍वास गर्छ ऊ लाजमा पर्नेछैन ।
17 And I will cause judgment [to be] for hope, and my compassion shall be for [just] measures, and ye that trust vainly in falsehood [shall fall]: for the storm shall by no means pass by you,
न्यायलाई म नाप्‍ने लट्ठी र धर्मिकतालाई साहुल बनाउनेछु । असिनाले झुटको शरणस्थानलाई बढार्नेछ र बाढीले लुक्‍ने ठाउँलाई डुबाउनेछ ।
18 except it also take away your covenant of death, and your trust in Hades shall by no means stand: if the rushing storm should come upon you, ye shall be beaten down by it. (Sheol h7585)
मृत्युसँग गरेको तिमीहरूको करार खारेज हुनेछ र चिहानसँगको तिमीहरूको सहमति रहनेछैन । जब उर्लंदो बाढी आउँछ, त्‍यसले तिमीहरूलाई डुबाउनेछ । (Sheol h7585)
19 Whenever it shall pass by, it shall take you; morning by morning it shall pass by in the day, and in the night there shall be an evil hope. Learn to hear,
जब त्‍यो आउँछ त्‍यसले तिमीहरूलाई डुबाउनेछ, त्‍यो हरेक बिहान आउनेछ र त्‍यो दिन र रात आउनेछ । जब सन्देश बुझिन्छ, त्‍यसले त्रास पैदा गर्नेछ ।
20 ye that are distressed; we cannot fight, but we are ourselves too weak for you to be gathered.
किनकि तन्केर सुत्‍नलाई ओछ्यान छोटो छ र आफूलाई ढाक्‍न कम्बल सानो छ ।”
21 The Lord shall rise up as a mountain of ungodly [men], and shall be in the valley of Gabaon; he shall perform his works with wrath, [even] a work of bitterness, and his wrath shall deal strangely, and his destruction shall be strange.
पराजीम पर्वतझैं परमप्रभु उठ्नुहुनेछ । गिबोनको बेंसीमा झैं आफ्‍नो काम, आफ्‍नो अनौठो काम र उहाँको अद्‍भुत काम गर्न उहाँ उठ्नुहुनेछ ।
22 Therefore do not ye rejoice, neither let your bands be made strong; for I have heard of works finished and cut short by the Lord of hosts, which he will execute upon all the earth.
यसकारण, अब गिल्ला नगर, नत्र तिमीहरूको बन्धन झन् कसिलो पारिनेछ । मैले सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरबाट पृथ्वीको विनाशको उर्दी सुनेको छु ।
23 Hearken, and hear my voice; attend, and hear my words.
ध्यान देओ र मेरो आवाज सुन । ध्यान मग्‍न होओ र मेरा वचनहरू सुन ।
24 Will the ploughman plough all the day? or will he prepare the seed beforehand, before he tills the ground?
छर्नलाई दिनभरि जोत्‍ने किसानले के जमिन जोत्‍ने काम मात्र गर्छ र? के उसले बाँजो फुटाउने र डल्लो फुटाउँछ मात्र गर्छ र?
25 Does he not, when he has levelled the surface thereof, then sow the small black poppy, or cumin, and afterward sow wheat, and barley, and millet, and bread-corn in thy borders?
जब त्यसले जमिन तयार पार्छ, के त्यसले सूँप छर्ने र जीराको बीउ फैलाउने, गहुँलाई ड्‍याङमा रोप्‍ने र जौलाई ठिक ठाउँमा र कठियालाई यसको छेउहरूमा रोप्दैन?
26 So thou shalt be chastened by the judgment of thy God, and shalt rejoice.
त्यसको परमेश्‍वरले त्यसलाई सिकाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले त्यसलाई बुद्धिमनीसाथ सिकाउनुहुन्छ ।
27 For the black poppy is not cleansed with harsh treatment, nor will a wagon-wheel pass over the cumin; but the black poppy is threshed with a rod, and the cumin shall be eaten with bread;
अनि सूँपलाई हथौडाले झारिंदैन, न जीरालाई झार्न गाडा नै गुडाइन्छ । तर सूँपलाई लट्ठीले कुटिन्छ र जीरालाई लुहुरोले कुटिन्छ ।
28 for I will not be wroth with you for ever, neither shall the voice of my anger crush you.
रोटी बनाउन अन्‍नलाई पिसिन्छ, तर अति मिहिन पारिंदैन, र त्‍यसको गाडाका पाङ्ग्राहरू र त्यसका घोडाहरूले यसलाई छरे तापनि त्यसका घोडाहरूले यसलाई चूरचूर पार्दैनन् ।
29 And these signs came forth from the Lord of hosts. Take counsel, exalt vain comfort.
यो पनि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुबाट नै आउँछ, जो शिक्षा दिनमा अति हसल र बुद्धिमा उत्कृष्‍ट हुनुहुन्छ । ‍
