< Isaiah 1 >
1 The vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Joatham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
यहूदाका राजाहरू उज्जियाह, योताम, आहाज र हिजकियाका समयमा यरूशलेम र यहूदाको बारेमा आमोसका छोरा यशैयाले दखेका दर्शन ।
2 Listen, O heavens, and pay attention, O earth, for the Lord has spoken. I have nurtured and raised children, but they have spurned me.
ए आकाश सुन्, र ए पृथ्वी कान थाप् । किनकि परमप्रभु बोल्नुभएको छः “मैले छोराछोरीलाई पालनपोषण गरेको र हुर्काएको छु, तर तिनीहरूले मेरो विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गरेका छन् ।
3 An ox knows his owner, and a donkey knows the manger of his lord, but Israel has not known me, and my people have not understood.
गोरुले आफ्नो मालिक चिन्छ र गधाले आफ्नो मालिकको डूँड चिन्छ, तर इस्राएलले चिन्दैन र इस्राएलले बुझ्दैन ।”
4 Woe to a sinful nation, a people burdened by iniquity, a wicked offspring, accursed children. They have abandoned the Lord. They have blasphemed the Holy One of Israel. They been taken away backwards.
धिक्कार! पापी जाति, अधर्मले लादिएका मानिसहरू, खराब गर्नेहरूका सन्तानहरू, भ्रष्ट रूपले काम गर्नेहरूका सन्तानहरू! तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई त्यागेका छन्, तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका परमपवित्रलाई घृणा गरेका छन्, तिनीहरूले आफैलाई उहाँबाट टाढा बनाएका छन् ।
5 For what reason shall I continue to strike you, as you increase transgressions? The entire head is feeble, and the entire heart is grieving.
तिमीहरूलाई अझै पनि किन पिटाइ खाँदैछौ? तिमीहरू किन झन् विद्रोह गर्छौ? सम्पुर्ण टाउको नै बिरामी छ र सम्पुर्ण हृदय नै कमजोर छ ।
6 From the sole of the foot, even to the top of the head, there is no soundness within. Wounds and bruises and swelling sores: these are not bandaged, nor treated with medicine, nor soothed with oil.
शिरदेखि पाउसम्म हानि नभएको कुनै अंग छैन । घाउहरू, चोटपटक र भर्खरका खुल्ला घाउहरू मात्र छन् । ती बन्द गरिएका, सफा गरिएका, पट्टि लगाइएका छैनन्, न त तेलले उपचार गरिएका छन् ।
7 Your land is desolate. Your cities have been set ablaze. Foreigners devour your countryside in your sight, and it will become desolate, as if devastated by enemies.
तिमीहरूका देश विनाश भएको छ । तिमीहरूका सहरहरू भष्म पारिएका छन् । तिमीहरूका खेतहरू— नचिनेका मानिसहरूले तिमीहरूकै सामु ती नष्ट पारिरहेका छन्— उजाड पारेर छोडिएको छ, नचिनेका मानिसहरूले सर्वनाश पारेका छन् ।
8 And the daughter of Zion will be left behind, like an arbor in a vineyard, and like a shelter in a cucumber field, and like a city being laid to waste.
सियोनकी छोरीलाई दाखबारीको कटेरोझैं, काँक्राबारीको छायाझैं र घेरा हालिएको सहरझैं त्यागिएको छ ।
9 If the Lord of hosts had not bequeathed us offspring, we would have been like Sodom, and we would have been comparable to Gomorrah.
सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले हाम्रा निम्ति थोरै बाँकी रहेका निम्ति नछोड्नुभएको भए, हामी सदोमझैं हुनेथियौं, हामी गमोराझैं हुनेथियौं।
10 Listen to the Word of the Lord, you leaders of the people of Sodom. Listen closely to the law of our God, O people of Gomorrah.
ए सदोमका शासकहरू हो, परमप्रभुको वचन सुन । ए गमोराका मानिसहरू, हाम्रा परमेश्वरको व्यवस्था सुन ।
11 The multitude of your sacrifices, what is that to me, says the Lord? I am full. I do not desire holocausts of rams, nor the fat of fatlings, nor the blood of calves and of lambs and of he-goats.
परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, “तिमीहरूका असंख्य बलिदानहरू मेरो निम्ति के नै हुन् र? थुमाहरूका होमबलि र मोटा पशुहरूका बोसो मसित प्रशस्त भएको छ । र साँढेहरू, थुमाहरू वा बोकाहरूका रगतमा म खुसी हुन्न ।
12 When you approach before my sight, who is it that requires these things from your hands, so that you would walk in my courts?
तिमीहरू मेरो सामु देखापर्न आउँदा, यसले मेरा चोकहरू कुल्चोस् भन्ने कसको इच्छा छ?
13 You should no longer offer sacrifice in vain. Incense is an abomination to me. The new moons and the Sabbaths and the other feast days, I will not receive. Your gatherings are iniquitous.
व्यार्थका बलिदानहरू ल्याउन छोड । धूप मेरो निम्ति घृणित कुरा हो । तिमीहरूका औंसी र सबाथका सभाहरू— यी दुष्ट सभाहरू म सहन सक्दिनँ ।
14 My soul hates your days of proclamation and your solemnities. They have become bothersome to me. I labor to endure them.
तिमीहरूका औंसीहरू र तिमीहरूका तोकिएका चाडहरूलाई म घृणा गर्छु । ती मेरो निम्ति बोझ हुन् । ती बोहोरेर म थाकिसकेको छु ।
15 And so, when you extend your hands, I will avert my eyes from you. And when you multiply your prayers, I will not heed you. For your hands are full of blood.
त्यसैले तिमीहरूले प्रार्थनामा आफ्ना हातहरू फैलाउँदा, तिमीहरूबाट म आफ्ना आँखा लुकाउँछु । तिमीहरूले धेरै प्रार्थना चढाए तापनि, म सुन्नेछैन । तिमीहरूका हातहरू रगतले भरिएका छन् ।
16 Wash, become clean, take away the evil of your intentions from my eyes. Cease to act perversely.
नुहाओ र आफूलाई शुद्ध पार । मेरो दृष्टिबाट तिमीहरूका सबै दुष्ट कामहरू हटाओ । खराब हुन छोड ।
17 Learn to do good. Seek judgment, support the oppressed, judge for the orphan, defend the widow.
असल गर्न सिक । न्याय खोज, थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूलाई छुटाओ, अनाथलाई न्याय देओ र विधवाको रक्षा गर ।”
18 And then approach and accuse me, says the Lord. Then, if your sins are like scarlet, they shall be made white like snow; and if they are red like vermillion, they shall become white like wool.
परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, “अहिले आओ, हामी मिलेर छलफल गरौं । तिमीहरूका पापहरू बैजनी रङका भए तापनि, ती हिउँजस्तै सेता हुनेछन् । ती सिन्दुरे रङका भए तापनि ती ऊनजस्तै हुनेछन् ।
19 If you are willing, and you listen to me, then you will eat the good things of the land.
तिमीहरू आज्ञाकारी र इच्छुक भयौ भने, तिमीहरूले देशका असल कुरा खानेछौ,
20 But if you are not willing, and you provoke me to anger, then the sword will devour you. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
तर तिमीहरूले इन्कार गर्यौ र विद्रोह गर्यौ भने, तरवारले तिमीहरूलाई विनाश पार्नेछ” किनकि परमप्रभुको मुखले यसो भन्नुभएको छ ।
21 How has the faithful city, full of judgment, become a harlot? Justice lived in her, but now murderers.
विश्वासयोग्य सहर कसरी वेश्या भएको छ! त्यो न्यायले पुर्ण थियो— त्यो धर्मिकताले भरिपुर्ण थियो, तर अहिले त्यो हत्याराहरूले भरिएको छ ।
22 Your silver has turned into dross. Your wine has been mixed with water.
तिमीहरूका चाँदी अशुद्ध भएको छ, तिमीहरूका दाखमद्य पानी मिसाइएको छ ।
23 Your leaders are unfaithful, the associates of thieves. They all love gifts; they pursue rewards. They do not judge for orphans, and the widow’s case is not brought before them.
तिमीहरूका शासकहरू विद्रोहीहरू र चोरका साथीहरू हुन् । हरेकले घुसलाई प्रेम गर्छ र उपहारको पछि भाग्छन् । तिनीहरूले अनाथहरू रक्षा गर्दैनन्, न त न्यायको लागि विधवाको बिन्ति नै तिनीहरूका सामु आउँछन् ।
24 Because of this, the Lord God of hosts, the Strength of Israel, says: Ah! I will be consoled over my enemies, and I will be vindicated from my adversaries.
यसकारण सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु, इस्राएलका शक्तिशाली परमपवित्रको घोषणा यो हो, “तिनीहरूलाई धिक्कार! आफ्ना विरोधीहरूसँग बदला म लिनेछु र आफ्ना शत्रुहरूसँग म टो फेर्नेछु ।
25 And I will turn my hand to you. And I will temper your dross unto purity, and I will take away all your tin.
म आफ्ना हात तिमीहरूका विरुद्ध उठाउनेछु, अशुद्ध मिश्रण हटाएझैं तिमीहरूका मैला शुद्ध पार्नेछु र तिमीहरूका सबै मैलाहरू हटाउनेछु ।
26 And I will restore your judges, so that they will be as before, and your counselors as in times long past. After this, you shall be called the City of the Just, the Faithful City.
म तिमीहरूका न्यायकर्ताहरूलाई पहिलेको झैं र तिमीहरूका सल्लाहकारहरूलाई सुरुको झैं पुनर्स्थापना गर्ने छु । त्यसपछि तिमीहरू धार्मिकताको सहर र विश्वासयोग्य नगर भनिनेछौ ।”
27 Zion will be redeemed in judgment, and they will lead her back to justice.
सियोनलाई न्यायले उद्धार गर्नेछ र त्यसमा भएका पश्चतापीहरूलाई धार्मिकताले नै उद्धार गर्नेछ ।
28 And he shall crush the accursed and sinners together. And those who have abandoned the Lord will be consumed.
विद्रोहीहरू र पापीहरू एकसाथ धूलो पारिनेछन् र परमप्रभुलाई त्याग्नेहरू नष्ट हुनेछन् ।
29 For they shall be confounded because of the idols, to which they have sacrificed. And you shall be ashamed over the gardens that you chose,
किनभने तिमीहरूले इच्छा गरेका फँलाटका पवित्र रूखहरूसित तिमीहरू लज्जित हुनेछौ र तिमीहरूले चुनेका बगैंचाद्वारा नै तिमीहरू हतासमा पर्नेछौ ।
30 when you were like an oak with falling leaves, and like a garden without water.
किनभने तिमीहरू पातहरू ओइलाउने फलाँटजस्ता र पानी नभएको बगैंचाजस्ता हुनेछौ ।
31 And your strength will be like the embers from stubble, and your work will be like a spark, and both will burn together, and there will be no one to extinguish it.
बलिया मानिसहरू चाँडै जल्ने सामग्रीजस्ता र उसको काम एउटा झिल्कोजस्तो हुनेछन् । ती दुवै एकसाथ जल्नेछन् र कसैले पनि ती निभाउनेछैन ।”
