< Isaiah 50 >

1 Thus saith the Lord: What is this bill of the divorce of your mother, with which I have put her away? or who is my creditor, to whom I sold you: behold you are sold for your iniquities, and for your wicked deeds have I put your mother away.
परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “मैले तेरी आमालाई दिएको त्यागपत्रको प्रमाणपत्र कहाँ छ? मेरो कुनचाहिं ऋणीकहाँ मैले तँलाई बेचें? हेर, तिमीहरूका पापहरूका कारणले तिमीहरूलाई बेचियो र तिमीहरूका विद्रोहको कारणले तिमीहरूका आमालाई टाढा पठाइयो ।
2 Because I came, and there was not a man: I called, and there was none that would hear. Is my hand shortened and become little, that I cannot redeem? or is there no strength in me to deliver? Behold at my rebuke I will make the sea a desert, I will turn the rivers into dry land: the fishes shall rot for want of water, and shall die for thirst.
म आउँदा त्यहाँ किन कोही पनि थिएन? मैले बोलाउँदा किन कसैले पनि जवाफ दिएन? के मोल तिरेर छुट्टाउन मेरो हात धेरै छोटो भएको थियो र? के तिमीहरूलाई छुट्टाउन ममा कुनै शक्ति थिएन र? हेर, मेरो हप्‍कीले म समुद्रलाई सुकाउँछु । म नदीलाई सुख्खा बनाउँछु । पानीको कमीले त्यहाँका माछाहरू मर्नेछन् र कुहिनेछन् ।
3 I will clothe the heavens with darkness, and will make sackcloth their covering.
आकाशलाई म अन्धाकारले ढाक्‍नेछु । त्‍यसलाई म भाङ्ग्राले ढाक्‍नेछु।”
4 The Lord hath given me a learned tongue, that I should know how to uphold by word him that is weary: he wakeneth in the morning, in the morning he wakeneth my ear, that I may hear him as a master.
परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले मलाई सिकाइएको व्यक्‍तिको जस्तो जिब्रो दिनुभएको छ, ताकि थकितलाई म सम्भाल्‍ने वचनहरू बोलूँ । उहाँले मलाई बिहान-बिहान जगाउनुहुन्छ । सिकाइएकाहरूका जस्‍ता कुरा सुन्‍न उहाँले मेरा कानलाई खोल्‍नुहुन्छ ।
5 The Lord God hath opened my ear, and I do not resist: I have not gone back.
परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले मेरो कान खोल्नुभएको छ, र म विद्रोही थिइनँ, न मैले पिट्युँ नै फर्काएँ ।
6 I have given my body to the strikers, and my cheeks to them that plucked them: I have not turned away my face from them that rebuked me, and spit upon me.
मलाई पिट्नेहरूलाई मैले आफ्‍नो ढाड र मेरा दाह्री उखेल्‍नेहरूलाई आफ्‍ना गाला दिएँ । लाज र थुकाइका कामहरूबाट मैले आफ्‍नो मुख लुकाइन ।
7 The Lord God is my helper, therefore am I not confounded: therefore have I set my face as a most hard rock, and I know that I shall not be confounded.
किनकि परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले मलाई सहायता गर्नुहुनेछ । यसकारण म अपमानित भएको छैन । त्यसैले मैले आफ्‍नो मुहार चक्मक ढुङ्गाझैं बनाएको छु, किनकि म लाजमा पर्दिनँ भनी म जान्दछु ।
8 He is near that justifieth me, who will contend with me? let us stand together, who is my adversary? let him come near to me.
मलाई निर्दोष ठहराउनुहुने नजिकै हुनुहुन्छ । कसले मेरो विरोध गर्छ र? हामी खडा हौं र एक-अर्कासँग भिडौं । मलाई दोष लगाउने को हो? त्यो मेरो नजिक आओस् ।
9 Behold the Lord God is my helper: who is he that shall condemn me? Lo, they shall all be destroyed as a garment, the moth shall eat them up.
हेर्, परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले मलाई सहायता गर्नुहुनेछ । मलाई कसले दोषी घोषणा गर्नेछ? हेर, ती सबै लुगाझैं फाटेर जानेछन् । किराले तिनलाई खानेछ ।
10 Who is there among you that feareth the Lord, that heareth the voice of his servant, that hath walked in darkness, and hath no light? let him hope in the name of the Lord, and lean upon his God.
तिमीहरूमध्ये कसले परमप्रभुको भय मान्छ र? उहाँको सेवकको आवाज कसले पालन गर्छ र? घोर अन्धकारमा उज्‍यलोविना को हिंड्छ र? उसले परमप्रभुको नाउँमा भरोसा गर्नुपर्छ र आफ्‍नो परमेश्‍वरमा नै भर पर्नुपर्छ ।
11 Behold all you that kindle a fire, encompassed with dames, walk in the light of your fire, and in the dames which you have kindled: this is done to you by my hand, you shall sleep in sorrows.
हेर्, आगो बाल्‍ने र आफैलाई राँकोले सुसज्‍जित पार्ने तिमीहरू सबै जनाः आफ्‍नो आगोको उज्यालोमा र आफूले बालेका राँकोमा हिंड । तिमीहरूले मबाट यही कुरा पाएका छौः तिमीहरू पीडाको ठाउँमा ढल्‍किनेछौ ।
