< Isaiah 7 >

1 And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, [that] Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but they were not able to fight against it.
उज्‍जियाहको नाति, योतामका छोरा यहूदाको राजा आहाजको समयमा, अरामका राजा रसीन, र इस्राएलका राजा रमल्याहका छोरा पेकह यरूशलेमको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्न माथि गए, तर तिनीहरू त्‍यसको विरुद्धमा विजयी हुन सकेनन् ।
2 And it was told the house of David saying, Syria is allied with Ephraim. Then his heart and the heart of his people shook, as the trees of the forest are shaken with the wind.
अरामले एफ्राइमसँग सन्‍धी गर्‍यो भनी दाऊदको घरानालाई बताइयो । तिनको हृदय काँप्यो, अनि तिनका मानिसहरूका हृदय जङ्गलका रुखहरू हावाले हल्लाएझैं काँप्यो ।
3 And Jehovah said to Isaiah, Go out now to meet Ahaz, thou and thy son Shear-jashub, at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller's field;
तब परमप्रभुले यशैयालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तेरो छोरा शार्यासूबलाई साथमा लिएर आहाजलाई भेट्न धोबीको खेत जाने बाटोमा माथिल्लो पोखरीको नहरको छेउमा जा ।
4 and thou shalt say unto him, Take heed and be quiet; fear not, and let not thy heart faint before these two ends of smoking firebrands, because of the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
उसलाई भन्, 'होसियार होऊ, शान्त बस, नडराऊ, रेसीन र अराम अनि रमल्याहको छोरा पेकहको भयङ्कर रिसको बलिरहेको अगुल्टोद्वारा त्रसित नहोऊ ।
5 Inasmuch as Syria hath taken evil counsel against thee, Ephraim [also] and the son of Remaliah, saying,
अराम, एफ्राइम र रमल्याहको छोराले तिम्रो विरुद्धमा खराब योजना गरेका छन् । तिनीहरूले भनेका छन्,
6 Let us go up against Judah, and harass it, and make a breach therein for us, and set up a king therein — the son of Tabeal;
“हामी यहूदालाई आक्रमण गरौं र त्यसलाई त्रसित बनाऔं, र हामी त्यसभित्र पसौं र ताबेलका छोरालाई त्‍यहाँ हाम्रा राजा बनाऔं ।”
7 thus saith the Lord Jehovah: It shall not stand, nor come to pass;
परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “त्‍यो कुरा हुन आउनेछैन । त्‍यस्‍तो हुनेछैन,
8 for the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years shall Ephraim be broken, so as to be no [more a] people;
किनभने अरामको मुख्‍यालय दमसकस हो र दमसकसको मुखिया रेसीन हो । पैंसट्ठी वर्षभित्र, एफ्राइम टुक्रा-टुक्रा हुनेछ र त्यसमा कोही मानिस हुनेछैन ।
9 and the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye believe not, surely ye shall not be established.
एफ्राइमको मुख्‍यालय सामरिया हो र सामरियाको मुखिया रमल्याहको छोरा हो । तिमी विश्‍वासमा दृढ रहँदैनौ भने, निश्‍चय नै तिमी सुरक्षित हुनेछैनौ ।”
10 And Jehovah spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
परमप्रभुले फेरि आहाजसँग बोल्नुभयो,
11 Ask for thee a sign from Jehovah thy God; ask for it in the deep, or in the height above. (Sheol h7585)
“परमप्रभु आफ्‍ना परमश्‍वरसँग एउटा चिन्ह माग् । गहिराइमा भए पनि वा उच्‍चाइमा पनि यो माग् ।” (Sheol h7585)
12 And Ahaz said, I will not ask, and will not tempt Jehovah.
तर आहाजले भने, “म माग्‍नेछैन, न त म परमप्रभुको जाँच नै गर्नेछु ।”
13 And he said, Hear then, house of David: Is it a small matter for you to weary men, that ye weary also my God?
त्यसैले यशैयाले जवाफ दिए, “ए दाऊदका घराना, सुन । के तिमीहरूको निम्ति मानिसहरूका धेर्यको जाँच नै पर्याप्‍त हुँदैन र? के तिमीहरूले मेरो परमेश्‍वरको धैर्यको पनि जाँच गर्नुपर्छ र?
14 Therefore will the Lord himself give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and shall bring forth a son, and call his name Immanuel.
यसकारण परमप्रभुले नै तिमीहरूलाई एउटा चिन्ह दिनुहुनेछः हेर, एज जना कन्या केटीले गर्भधारण गर्नेछिन्, एउटा छोरा जन्माउनेछिन् र उनको नाउँ इम्मानुएल राख्‍नेछिन् ।
15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good.
जब उनले खराबलाई इन्कार गर्न र असललाई रोज्‍न जान्‍दछन्, तब उनले दही र मह खानेछन् ।
16 For before the child knoweth to refuse the evil and to choose the good, the land whose two kings thou fearest shall be forsaken.
किनकि बालकले खराबलाई इन्कार गर्न र असललाई रोज्‍न जान्‍नुअघि नै तिमी डराएका दुई जना राजाहरूका देश उजाड हुनेछन् ।
17 Jehovah will bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days which have not come since the day when Ephraim turned away from Judah — [even] the king of Assyria.
परमप्रभुले तिमी, तिम्रा मानिसहरू र तिम्रा बुबाको घरानामाथि एफ्राइम यहूदाबाट छुटेदेखि कहिल्यै नभएको कुरा ल्याउनुहुनेछ— उहाँले तिमीमाथि अश्शूरका राजा ल्याउनुहुनेछ ।”
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will hiss for the fly which is at the extremity of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the land of Assyria;
त्यस बेला परमप्रभुले झींगालाई मिश्रदेशको खोलादेखि र मौरीलाई अश्शूरको देशदेखि सुसेलेर बोलाउनुहुनेछ ।
19 and they shall come and settle all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and on all thorn-bushes, and on all the pastures.
तिनीहरू सबै आउनेछन् र घाँटीहरूमा, चट्टानको चिराहरूभित्र, सबै काँढाका झाङमाथि र सबै चरनहरूमा बस्‍नेछन् ।
20 In that day will the Lord, with a razor which is hired beyond the river, with the king of Assyria, shave the head and the hair of the feet, yea, the beard also will it take away.
त्यस बेला परमप्रभुले युफ्रेटिस नदी पारि अश्‍शूरका राजाकोबाट भाडामा लिइएको छुराले, टाउकाहरू र खुट्टाहरूका रौं खौरनुहुनेछ । त्‍यसले दाह्रीलाई पनि सफा गर्नेछ ।
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a man shall nourish a young cow and two sheep,
त्यस दिन, एक जना मानिसले एउटा कोरली र दुई वटा भेडा पाल्नेछ,
22 and it shall come to pass, from the abundance of milk they shall give, [that] he shall eat butter; for every one that remaineth in the midst of the land shall eat butter and honey.
र तिनीहरूले दिने दूधको प्रशस्‍तताको कारणले, उसले दही खानेछ, किनकि देशमा छोडिएका हरेकले दूध र मह खानेछन् ।
23 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] every place, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silver pieces, shall become briars and thorns:
त्यस बेला, हजार बोट दाखको हजार शेकेल पर्ने जग्गामा, त्‍यहाँ सिउँडी र काँढा बाहेक केही हुनेछैन ।
24 with arrows and with the bow shall they come thither, for the whole land shall become briars and thorns.
मानिहरू त्यहाँ धनु लिएर शिकार गर्न जानेछन्, किनभने सबै देश नै सिउँडी र काँढा हुनेछन् ।
25 And all mountains that have been dug up with the hoe — thither will they not come, from fear of briars and thorns; and they shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of small cattle.
तिनीहरू सिउँडी र काँढाको डरले खनजोत गरी खेतीपाती गरिएका सबै डाँडाबाट टाढै रहनेछन् । तर यो गाईवस्‍तु र भेडाहरू चर्ने ठाउँ हुनेछ ।
