< Isaiah 5 >
1 I will sing to my beloved the canticle of my cousin concerning his vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a hill in a fruitful place.
मेरो असल प्रियको निम्ति मलाई गाउन, मेरो प्रियको दाखबारीको बारेमा एउटा गीत गाउन दिनुहोस् ।
2 And he fenced it in, and picked the stones out of it, and planted it with the choicest vines, and built a tower in the midst thereof, and set up a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it broutht forth wild grapes.
उनले यो खने, ढुङ्गाहरू हटाए र त्यसमा उत्तम जातको दाख रोपे । उनले त्यसको बिचमा एउटा धरहरा बनाए र एउटा दाखको कोल पनि बनाए । उनले दाख उत्पादन गर्ने समयसम्म पर्खे, तर त्यसले जङ्गली दाख मात्र फलायो ।
3 And now, O ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and ye men of Juda, judge between me and my vineyard.
त्यसैले अब ए यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरू र यहूदाका मानिस हो, म र मेरो दाखबारीको बिचमा न्याय गर ।
4 What is there that I ought to do more to my vineyard, that I have not done to it?
मेरो दाखबारीको निम्ति मैले नगरेको त्यस्तो के कुरा त्यसको निम्ति गर्न सकिन्थ्यो? त्यसले दाख फलाओस् भन्ने मेरो आशा हुँदा, त्यसले किन जङ्गली दाखहरू फलायो?
5 And now I will shew you wnat I will do to my vineyard. I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be wasted: I will break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down.
अब म आफ्नो दाखबारीलाई के गर्नेछु सो म तिमीहरूलाई भन्नेछु, म त्यसलाई चरनमा बदल्नेछु, त्यसको पर्खला म भत्काउनेछु र त्यसलाई कुल्चीमिल्ची गरिनेछ ।
6 And I will make it desolate: it shall not be pruned, and it shall not be digged: but briers and thorns shall come up: and I will command the clouds to rain no rain upon it.
म त्यसलाई बरबाद गर्नेछु र यसलाई छाँटकाँट वा खनजोत गरिनेछैन । बरु, यसमा काँढा र सिउँडीहरू उम्रिनेछन् । त्यसमाथि वर्ष नहोस् भनी म बादललाई आज्ञा पनि दिनेछु ।
7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel: and the man of Juda, his pleasant plant: and I looked that he should do judgment, and behold iniquity: and do justice, and behold a cry.
किनकि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको दाखबारी इस्राएलको घराना, र यहूदाका मानिसचाहिं आनन्दको बगैंचा हो । न्यायको निम्ति उहाँ पर्खनुभयो, तर त्यसको साटोमा त्यहाँ हत्या भयो । धार्मिकताको खोज्नुभयो तर त्यसको साटोमा सहायताको निम्ति चित्कार आयो ।
8 Woe to you that join house to house and lay field to field, even to the end of the place: shall you alone dwell in the midst of the earth?
ठाउँ नै नरहने गरी घरसित घर जोड्ने र खेतसित खेत जोड्नेहरूलाई धिक्कार, र तिमीहरू मात्र देशमा रहन्छौ!
9 These things are in my ears, saith the Lord of hosts: unless many great and fair houses shall become desolate, without an inhabitant.
सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, धेरै वटा घर, ठुला र भव्य महलसमेत रित्ता हुनेछन्, त्यसमा बस्ने कोही हुनेछैन् ।
10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one little measure, and thirty bushels of seed shall yield three bushels.
किनकि दस हलको दाखबारीले पाँच पाथी दाख र पचास पाथी बीउले पाँच पाथी अन्न मात्र उब्जाउनेछ ।
11 Woe to you that rise up early in the morning to follow drunkenness, and to drink till the evening, to be inflamed with wine.
कडा मद्य पिउनलाई बिहान सबेरै उठ्नेहरू, मद्यले तिनीहरूलाई चूर नबनाएसम्म राती अबेरसम्म बस्नेहरूलाई धिक्कार ।
12 The harp, and the lyre, and the timbrel, and the pipe, and wine are in your feasts: and the work of the Lord you regard not, nor do you consider the works of his hands.
तिनीहरू वीणा, सारङ्गी, बाँसुरी र मद्यसित भोज खान्छन्, तर तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको कामको चिन्दैनन्, न त तिनीहरूले उहाँका हातका कामहरूलाई नै विचार गरेका छन् ।
13 Therefore is my people led away captive, because they had not knowledge, and their nobles have perished with famine, and their multitude were dried up with thirst.
यसकारण सुझबुझको कमीला गर्दा मेरा मानिसहरू निर्वासनमा गएका छन् । तिनीहरूका आदरणिय अगुवाहरू भोक-भोकै हुन्छन् र तिनीहरूका साधारण मानिससँग पिउनलाई कुनै कुरा छैन ।
14 Therefore hath hell enlarged her soul, and opened her mouth without any bounds, and their strong ones, and their people, and their high and glorious ones shall go down into it. (Sheol )
यसकारण चिहानले आफ्नो भोकलाई ठुलो पारेको छ र त्यसले आफ्नो मुखलाई चौडा पारेको छ । तिनीहरूका कुलीनहरू, मानिसहरू, हल्ले गर्नेहरू र तिनीहरू माझका खुसी हुनेहरू चिहानमा जान्छन् । (Sheol )
15 And man shall be brought down, and man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be brought low.
मानिसलाई निहुरिन बाध्य बनाइनेछ र मानवजाति नम्र तुल्याइनेछ । घमण्डीका आँखालाई झुकाइनेछन् ।
16 And the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy God shall be sanctified in justice.
सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु आफ्नो न्यायमा उच्च पारिनुहुनेछ र परमपवित्र परमेश्वरले आफ्नो धर्मिकताद्वारा आफूलाई पवित्र प्रकट गर्नुहुनेछ ।
17 And the lambs shall feed according to their order, and strangers shall eat the deserts turned into fruitfulness.
तब भेडाहरू तिनीहरूका आफ्नै चरणमा झैं चर्नेछन् र भग्नावशेषमा थुमाहरू परदेशीझैं चर्नेछन् ।
18 Woe to you that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as the rope of a cart.
धिक्कार तिनीहरूलाई जसले अधर्मलाई व्यर्थका डोरीले तान्छन् र पापलाई गाडाको डोरीले झैं तान्छन् ।
19 That say: Let him make haste, and let his work come quickly, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel come, that we may know it.
धिक्कार तिनीहरूलाई, जसले भन्छन्, “परमेश्वरले हतार गर्नुभएको होस्, उहाँले चाँडै काम गर्नुभएको होस्, यसैले कि हामी यसो भएको देख्न सक्छौं । र इस्राएलको परमपवरित्रको योजना पुरा होस् ताकि हामीले ती थाहा पाउनेछौं ।”
20 Woe to you that call evil good, and good evil: that put darkness for light, and light for darkness: that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
धिक्कार तिनीहरूलाई जसले खराबलाई असल र असललाई खराब भन्छन् । जसले ज्योतिलाई अँध्यारो र अँध्यारोलाई ज्योतिको रूपमा लिन्छन् । अनि तीतोलाई गुलियो र गुलियोलाई तीतोको रूपमा लिन्छन् ।
21 Woe to you that rue wise in your own eyes, and prudent in your own conceits.
धिक्कार तिनीहरूलाई जो आफ्नै आँखामा बुद्धिमान र आफ्नै समझमा चतुर छन्!
22 Woe to you that are mighty to drink wine, and stout men at drunkenness.
धिक्कार तिनीहरूलाई जो दाकमद्य पिउनलाई सिपालु र कडा मद्यहरू मिसाउनमा कुसल छन् ।
23 That justify the wicked for gifts, and take away the justice of the just from him.
जसले घुस लिएर दुष्टलाई छोडिदिन्छ र निर्दोषलाई उसको अधिकार हनन् गर्छ!
24 Therefore as the tongue of the fire devoureth the stubble, and the heat of the dame consumeth it: so shall their root be as ashes, and their bud shall go up as dust: for they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and have blasphemed the word of the Holy One of Israel.
यसकारण जसरी आगोको ज्वालाले झिंजामिंजालाई जलाउँछ र जसरी सुकेको घाँस आगोमा भष्म हुन्छ, त्यसरी नै तिनीहरूका जरा सड्नेछ र तिनीहरूका फूल धूलोझैं उड्नेछ । सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको व्यावस्थालाई तिनीहरूले इन्कार गरेका हुनाले यसो हुनेछ, अनि इस्राएलका परमपवित्रको वचनलाई तिनीहरूले घृणा गरेका हुनाले यस्तो हुनेछ ।
25 Therefore is the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched out his hand upon them, and struck them: and the mountains were troubled, and their carcasses became as dung in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
यसकारण परमप्रभुको रिस उहाँका मानिसहरूका विरुद्ध दन्किएको छ । उहाँले आफ्नो हात तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा पसार्नुभएको छ र तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनुभएको छ । पहडाहरू काँप्छन् र तिनीहरूका लाशहरू गल्लीहरूमा फोहोर झैं छन् । यी सबै कुरामा उहाँको रिस मर्दैन । बरु, उहाँको हात अझै पसारिएको छ ।
26 And he will lift up a sign to the nations afar off, and will whistle to them from the ends of the earth: and behold they shall come with speed swiftly.
उहाँले टाढाका जातिहरूका निम्ति चिन्हको झण्डा उठाउनुहुनेछ र पृथ्वीको अन्तमा भएकाहरूलाई सुसेलेर बोलाउनुहुनेछ । हेर, तिनीहरू द्रूत गतिमा र तुरुन्तै आउनेछन् ।
27 There is none that shall faint, nor labour among them: they shall not slumber nor sleep, neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken.
तिनीहरूका माझमा कोही पनि थाक्नेछन् न त ठेस खानेछैन् । कोही पनि निदाउनेछैन न त उँघ्नेछन् । न त तिनीहरूका पेटीहरू खुकुला हुनेछन्, न त तिनीहरूका जुत्ताका फिताहरू नै खुकुला हुनेछन् ।
28 Their arrows are sharp, and all their bows are bent. The hoofs of their horses shall be like the hint, and their wheels like the violence of a tempest.
तिनीहरूका काँडहरू तीखा छन् र तिनीहरूका सबै धनुहरूमा ताँदो चढाइएका छन् । तिनीहरूका घोडाहरूका खुर चकमक ढुङ्गाहरूजस्ता छन् र तिनीहरूका रथहरूका पाङ्ग्राहरू आँधिजस्ता छन् ।
29 Their roaring like that of a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea they shall roar, and take hold of the prey, and they shall keep fast hold of it, and there shall be none to deliver it.
तिनीहरूका गर्जन सिंहको जस्तो हुनेछ । जवान सिंहहरूझैं तिनीहरू गर्जनेछन् । तिनीहरू गर्जन्छन् र शिकार समात्नेछन् र छुटाउने कोही नभई त्यो घिसारेर लैजान्छन् ।
30 And they shall make a noise against them that day, like the roaring of the sea; we shall look towards the land, and behold darkness of tribulation, and the light is darkened with the mist thereof.
त्यस दिन शिकारको विरुद्धमा तिनीहरू समुद्र गर्जेझैं गर्जनेछन् । कसैले देशलाई हेर्छ भने, उसले अन्धकार र कष्ट देख्नेछ । प्रकाशलाई पनि बादलले अँध्यारो पार्नेछ ।
