< Esias 41 >

1 Hold a feast to me, you islands: for the princes shall renew [their] strength: let them draw near and speak together: then let them declare judgement.
ए समुद्री किनारहरू, मेरो सामु चुपचाप सुन । जातिहरूले आफ्‍ना बल नयाँ बनाऊन् । तिनीहरू नजिक आऊन् र बोलून् । एउटा विवादको बारेमा बहस गर्न हामी एकसाथ भेला हौं ।
2 Who raised up righteousness from the east, [and] called it to his feet, so that it should go? shall appoint [it] an adversary of Gentiles, and shall dismay kings, and bury their swords in the earth, and cast forth their bows and arrows as sticks?
आफ्‍नो काम धार्मिकतामा गर्नलाई पुर्वको एक जनालाई बोलाएर कसले उत्तेजित पारेको छ? उहाँले जातिहरूलाई तिनीकहाँ सुम्‍पनुहुन्छ र राजाहरूलाई अधीन गर्न तिनलाई सहायता गर्नुहुन्छ । आफ्‍नो धनुको हावाले उडाएको पतकरझैं, तिनले उनीहरूलाई तरवारले जमिनमा ढाल्‍छन् ।
3 And he shall pursue them; the way of his feet shall proceed in peace.
तिनले उनीहरूलाई लखेट्‍छन् र छिटो पुग्‍ने बाटोद्वारा आफ्‍ना खुट्टाले जमिन नछोएझैं गरी तिनले सुरक्षित रूपमा भेट्टाउँछन् ।
4 Who has wrought and done these things? he has called it who called it from the generations of old; I God, the first and to [all] futurity, I AM.
कसले यी कामहरू गरेको र पुरा गरेको छ? कसले सुरुदेखिका पुस्ताहरूलाई बलाएको छ? म, परमप्रभु पहिलो र अन्तिम म नै हुँ ।
5 The nations saw, and feared; the ends of the earth drew near, and came together,
टापुहरूले देखेका छन् र डराएका छन् । पृथ्वीका अन्तिम छेउहरू थरथर काम्छन् । तिनीहरू तयार हुन्‍छन् र आउँछन् ।
6 every one judging for his neighbour and [that] to assist his brother: and one will say,
हरेकले आ-आफ्ना छिमेकीलाई सहायता गर्छ र हरेकले एकआपसमा भन्छन्, 'उत्साहित होओ ।'
7 The artificer has become strong, and the coppersmith that smites with the hammer, [and] forges also: sometimes he will say, It is a piece well joined: they have fastened them with nails; they will fix them, and they shall not be moved.
त्यसैले सिकर्मीले सुनारलाई उत्साह दिन्छ, अनि घन चलाउनेले लिहीमा काम गर्नेलाई 'यो असल छ' भन्दै वेल्‍डिङ् गर्न उत्साह दिन्छ । तिनीहरूले त्‍यो काँटीले कस्छन्, ताकि यो नहल्लियोस् ।
8 But you, Israel, are my servant Jacob, and he whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraam, whom I have loved:
तर तँ इस्राएल, मेरो सेवक, याकूब, जसलाई मैले चुनेको छु, मेरो मित्र अब्राहमको सन्तान,
9 whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and from the high places of it I have called you, and said to you, You are my servant; I have chosen you, and I have not forsaken you.
तँ जसलाई म पृथ्वीको अन्तिम छेउबाट फर्काएर ल्याउँदैछु र जसलाई मैले टाढा ठाउँहरूबाट बोलाएँ, अनि जसलाई मैले भनें, 'तँ मेरो सेवक होस्।' मैले तँलाई चुनेको छु, र तँलाई इन्कार गरेको छैन ।
10 Fear not; for I am with you: wander not; for I am your God, who have strengthened you; and I have helped you, and have established you with my just right hand.
नडरा, किनकि म तँसँग छु । चिन्तित नहो, किनकि म नै तेरो परमेश्‍वर हुँ । म तँलाई बलियो बनाउनेछु, र म तँलाई सहायता गर्नेछु, अनि आफ्‍नो धर्मी दाहिने हातले म तँलाई थाम्‍नेछु ।
11 Behold, all your adversaries shall be ashamed and confounded; for they shall be as if they were not: and all your opponents shall perish.
हेर, तँसँग रिसाएकाहरू सबै जना, तिनीहरू लज्‍जित र अपमानित हुनेछन् । तेरो विरोध गर्नेहरू, तिनीहरू बेकामको हुनेछन् र नाश हुनेछन् ।
12 You shall seek them, and you shall not find the men who shall insolently rage against you: for they shall be as if they were not, and they that war against you shall not be.
तँसँग झगडा गर्नेहरूलाई तैंले खोज्‍नेछस् र पाउनेछैनस् । तँसँग युद्ध गर्नेहरू बेकामको हुनेछन् र पुर्ण रूपमा बेकामको हुनेछन् ।
13 For I am your God, who holds your right hand, who says to you,
किनकि म, परमप्रभु तेरो परमेश्‍वरले तेरो दाहिने हात समातेर यसो भन्‍नेछु, 'नडरा, म तँलाई सहायता गर्दैर्छु ।'
14 Fear not, Jacob, [and you] Israel few in number; I have helped you, says your God, he that redeems you, O Israel.
नडरा, ए किरा याकूब र इस्राएलका मानिसहरू, तँलाई म सहायात गर्नेछु— यो परमप्रभु, तिमीहरूका उद्धारक, इस्राएलका परमपवित्रको घोषणा हो ।
15 Behold, I have made you as new saw-shaped threshing wheels of a waggon; and you shall thresh the mountains, and beat the hills to powder, and make [them] as chaff:
हेर्, म तँलाई नयाँ र दुई धारहरू भएको एउटा अन्‍न कुट्ने हतियार बनाउँदैछु । तैंले पहाडहरूलाई कुट्नेछस् र तिनीहरूलाई कुल्चनेछस् । तैंले डाँडाहरूलाई भुसजस्तै बनाउनेछस् ।
16 and you shall winnow [them], and the wind shall carry them away, and a tempest shall scatter them: but you shall rejoice in the holy ones of Israel.
तैंले तिनीहरूलाई निफन्‍नेछस् र हावाले तिनीहरूलाई उडाएर लानेछ । हावाले तिनीहरूलाई तितरबितर पार्नेछ । तँ परमप्रभुमा रमाउनेछस्, इस्राएका परमपवित्रमा तँ आनन्दित हुनेछस् ।
17 And the poor and the needy shall exult; for [when] they shall seek water, and there shall be none, [and] their tongue is parched with thirst, I the Lord God, I the God of Israel will hear, and will not forsake them:
अत्यचारमा परेका र खाँचोमा परेकाहरूले पानी खोज्नेछन्, तर त्यहाँ हुनेछैन, अनि तिर्खाले गर्दा तिनीहरूको जिब्रो सुक्‍खा हुन्छन् । म, परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूको प्रार्थनाको जवाफ दिनेछु । म, इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरले तिनीहरूलाई त्‍याग्‍नेछैन ।
18 but I will open rivers on the mountains, and fountains in the midst of plains: I will make the desert pools of water, and a thirsty land watercourses.
ठाडो भिरमा म खोला बगाउनेछु र मैदानको माझमा मुल फुटाउनेछु । मरुभूमीमा पानीको तलाउ र सुख्‍खा जमिनमा पानीको मुल म बनाउनेछु ।
19 I will plant in the dry land the cedar and box, the myrtle and cypress, and white poplar:
उजाड-स्‍थानमा म देवदारु, बबुल, मेंहदी र जैतूनको रूख रोप्‍नेछु । मैले धूपी र सल्लालाई उजाड मैदानमा म खडा गर्नेछु ।
20 that they may see, and know, and perceive, and understand together, that the hand of the Lord has wrought these [works], and the Holy One of Israel has displayed [them].
परमप्रभुको हातले नै यसो गरेको छ, इस्राएलको परमपवित्रले नै यसलाई सृजनुभएको छ, भनेर मानिसहरूले हेरून्, चिनून् अनि बुझून् भन्‍ने उदेश्‍यले म यो गर्नेछु ।
21 Your judgement draws near, says the Lord God; your counsels have drawn near, says the King of Jacob.
परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “तेरो मुद्दा पेस गर् ।” याकूबका राजा भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “तेरा मूर्तीहरूका निम्ति तेरा उत्तम बहसहरू पेस गर् ।”
22 Let them draw near, and declare to you what things shall come to pass; or tell [us] what things were of old, and we will apply [our] understanding, and we shall know what are the last and the future things:
तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्ना बहसहरू ल्याऊन् । तिनीहरू अघि आऊन् र के हुनेछ भनी बताऊन्, ताकि हामीले यी कुराहरू राम्ररी जान्‍न सक्‍छौं । तिनीहरूले हामीलाई सुरुका अगमवाणीका कुराहरू भनून्, ताकि हामीले तिनमा विचार गरौं र ती कसरी पुरा भए जानौं ।
23 tell us, declare you to us the things that are coming on at the last [time], and we shall know that you are gods: do good, and do evil, and we shall wonder, and see at the same time
भविष्यको बारेमा कुराहरू भन, ताकि तिमीहरू देवहरू हौ भनी हामी जान्‍न सकौं । कुनै असल वा खराब गर, ताकि हामी डराऔं वा प्रभावित बनौं ।
24 whence you are, and whence is your works: they have chosen you an abomination out of the earth.
हेर्, मूर्तीहरू केही पनि होइनन्, र तिमीहरूका कामहरू केही पनि होइनन् । तिमीहरूलाई रोज्‍ने मानिस घृणित हुन्छ ।
25 But I have raised up him that [comes] from the north, and him that [comes] from the rising of the sun: they shall be called by my name: let the princes come, and as potter's clay, and as a potter treading clay, so shall you be trodden down.
उत्तरबाट मैले एक जनालाई खडा गरेको छु, र त्यो आउँछ । सुर्य उदय हुने दिशाबाट त्यसलाई म बोलाउँछु, जसले मेरो नाउँ पुकार्छ, अनि हिलोलाई झैं, माटोलाई कुल्चने कुमालेले झैं त्यसले शासकहरूलाई कुल्चनेछ ।
26 For who will declare the things from the beginning, that we may know also the former things, and we will say that they are true? there is no one that speaks beforehand, nor anyone that hears your words.
यसलाई कसले सुरुदेखि नै घोषणा गर्‍यौ, ताकि हामीले जान्‍न सकौं? “उहाँ ठिक हुनुहुन्छ” भनी हामीले भन्‍नुभन्‍दा पहिले? वास्तवमा, तिनीहरू कसैले पनि यो घोषणा गरेनन्, हो, तिमीहरूले कुनै कुरा भनेको कसैले पनि सुनेन ।
27 I will give dominion to Sion, and will comfort Jerusalem by the way.
मैले पहिले सियोनलाई भनें, “हेर, तिनीहरू यहाँ छन् ।” मैले यरूशलेममा एक जना दूतलाई पठाएँ ।
28 For from amongst the nations, behold, [there was] no one; and of their idols there was none to declare [anything]: and if I should ask them, Whence are you? they could not answer me.
मैले हेर्दा त्यहाँ कोही पनि छैन, असल सल्लाह दिने तिनीहरूका माझमा कोही पनि छैन । मैले सोध्दा एक शब्द जवाफ दिने कोही छैन ।
29 For [these] are your makers, [as you think], and they that cause you to err in vain.
हेर, ती सबै केही पनि होइनन्, अनि तिनीहरूका कामहरू केही पनि होइनन् । तिनीहरूका ढालेका धातुका आकृतिहरू हावा र रित्ता हुन् ।
