Isaiah 28
1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower the glory of his joy, who were on the head of the fat valley, staggering with 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 Lord is mighty and strong, as a storm of hail: a destroying whirlwind, as the violence of many waters overflowing, and sent forth upon a spacious 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 of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under feet.
एफ्राइमका मतवालाहरूका गौरवशाली फुलमालालाई खुट्टाले कुल्चिमिल्ची गरिनेछ ।
4 And the fading flower the glory of his joy, who is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as a hasty fruit before the ripeness of autumn: which when he that seeth it shall behold, as soon as he taketh it in his hand, he will eat it up.
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 a crown of glory, and a garland of joy to the residue of his people:
त्यो दिनमा सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु नै सुन्दर मुकुट बन्नुहुनेछ र आफ्ना बाँकी रहेका मानिसहरूका निम्ति महिमाको मुकुट बन्नुहुनेछ ।
6 And a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and strength to them that return out of the battle to the gate.
न्याय आसनमा बस्नेको निम्ति न्यायको आत्मा र आफ्ना ढोकाहरूमा आफ्ना शत्रुलाई फर्काउनेहरूका निम्ति सामर्थ्य हुनुहुनेछ ।
7 But these also have been ignorant through wine, and through drunkenness have erred: the priest and the prophet have been ignorant through drunkenness, they are swallowed up with wine, they have gone astray in drunkenness, they have not known him that seeth, they have been ignorant of judgment.
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 For all tables were full of vomit and filth, so that there was no more place.
साँच्चै नै सबै टेबलहरू बान्ताले ढाकेकोछ, जसले गर्दा त्यहाँ कुनै सफा ठाउँ नै छैन ।
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand the hearing? them that are weaned from the milk, that are drawn away from the breasts.
त्यसले कसलाई ज्ञान सिकाउनेछ र त्यसले कसलाई सन्देश बताउनेछ? जसलाई दूध छोडाइएका छन् वा जसलाई बरखरै दूधबाट अलग गरिका छन्?
10 For command, command again; command, command again; expect, expect again; expect, expect again: a little there, a little there.
किनकि यो आज्ञामाथि आज्ञा, आज्ञामाथि आज्ञा, नियममाथि नियम, नियममाथि नियम, अलिकति यहाँ, अलिकति त्यहाँ ।
11 For with the speech of lips, and with another tongue he will speak to this people.
साच्चै, यी मानिहरूसँग उहाँले गिल्ला गर्ने ओठहरू र विदेशी भाषामा बोल्नुहुनेछ ।
12 To whom he said: This is my rest, refresh the weary, and this is my refreshing: and 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 And the word of the Lord shall be to them: Command, command again; command, command again: expect, expect again; expect, expect again: a little there, a little there: that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and 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 Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, who rule over my people that is in Jerusalem.
त्यसैले ए गिल्ला गर्नेहरू हो, तिमीहरू जसले यरूशलेममा भएका यी मानिसहरूमाथि राज्य गर्छौ, तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुको वचन सुन ।
15 For you have said: We have entered into a league with death, and we have made a covenant with hell. When the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come upon us: for we have placed our hope in lies, and by falsehood we are 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 God: Behold I will lay a stone in the foundations of Sion, a tried stone, a corner stone, a precious stone, founded in the foundation. He that believeth, let him not hasten.
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 set judgment in weight, and justice in measure: and hail shall overturn the hope of falsehood: and waters shall overflow its protection.
न्यायलाई म नाप्ने लट्ठी र धर्मिकतालाई साहुल बनाउनेछु । असिनाले झुटको शरणस्थानलाई बढार्नेछ र बाढीले लुक्ने ठाउँलाई डुबाउनेछ ।
18 And Sour league with death shall be abolished, and your covenant with hell shall not stand: when the overflowing scourge shall pass, you shall be trodden 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 Whensoever it shall pass through, it shall take you away: because in the morning early it shall pass through, in the day and in the night, and vexation alone shall make you understand what you 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 For the bed is straitened, so that one must fall out, and a short covering cannot cover both.
किनकि तन्केर सुत्नलाई ओछ्यान छोटो छ र आफूलाई ढाक्न कम्बल सानो छ ।”
21 For the Lord shall stand up as in the mountain of divisions: he shall be angry as in the valley which is in Gabaon: that he may do his work, his strange work: that he may perform his work, his work is strange to him.
पराजीम पर्वतझैं परमप्रभु उठ्नुहुनेछ । गिबोनको बेंसीमा झैं आफ्नो काम, आफ्नो अनौठो काम र उहाँको अद्भुत काम गर्न उहाँ उठ्नुहुनेछ ।
22 And now do not mock, lest your bonds be tied strait. For I have heard of the Lord the God of hosts a consumption and a cutting short upon all the earth.
यसकारण, अब गिल्ला नगर, नत्र तिमीहरूको बन्धन झन् कसिलो पारिनेछ । मैले सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु परमेश्वरबाट पृथ्वीको विनाशको उर्दी सुनेको छु ।
23 Give ear, and hear my voice, hearken, and hear my speech.
ध्यान देओ र मेरो आवाज सुन । ध्यान मग्न होओ र मेरा वचनहरू सुन ।
24 Shall the ploughman plough all the day to sow, shall he open and harrow his ground?
छर्नलाई दिनभरि जोत्ने किसानले के जमिन जोत्ने काम मात्र गर्छ र? के उसले बाँजो फुटाउने र डल्लो फुटाउँछ मात्र गर्छ र?
25 Will he not, when he hath made plain the surface thereof, sow gith, and scatter cummin, and put wheat in order, and barley, and millet, and vetches in their bounds?
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 For he will instruct him in judgment: his God will teach him.
त्यसको परमेश्वरले त्यसलाई सिकाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले त्यसलाई बुद्धिमनीसाथ सिकाउनुहुन्छ ।
27 For gith shall not be thrashed with saws, neither shall the cart wheel turn about upon cummin: but gith shall be beaten out with a rod, and cummin with a staff.
अनि सूँपलाई हथौडाले झारिंदैन, न जीरालाई झार्न गाडा नै गुडाइन्छ । तर सूँपलाई लट्ठीले कुटिन्छ र जीरालाई लुहुरोले कुटिन्छ ।
28 But bread corn shall be broken small: but the thrasher shall not thrash it for ever, neither shall the cart wheel hurt it, nor break it with its teeth.
रोटी बनाउन अन्नलाई पिसिन्छ, तर अति मिहिन पारिंदैन, र त्यसको गाडाका पाङ्ग्राहरू र त्यसका घोडाहरूले यसलाई छरे तापनि त्यसका घोडाहरूले यसलाई चूरचूर पार्दैनन् ।
29 This also is come forth from the Lord God of hosts, to make his counsel wonderful, and magnify justice.
यो पनि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुबाट नै आउँछ, जो शिक्षा दिनमा अति हसल र बुद्धिमा उत्कृष्ट हुनुहुन्छ ।
