< Isaiah 52 >

1 Arise, arise, put on thy strength, O Sion, put on the garments of thy glory, O Jerusalem, the city of the Holy One: for henceforth the uncircumcised, and unclean shall no more pass through thee.
ए सियोन, जाग्, जाग्, आफ्नो शक्ति धारण गर् । ए यरूशलेम, पवित्र सहर, आफ्‍नो सुन्दर पोशाक लगा । किनकि खतना नगरिएका वा अशुद्धचाहिं फेरि कहिल्यै तँभित्र पस्‍नेछैन ।
2 Shake thyself from the dust, arise, sit up, O Jerusalem: loose the bonds from off thy neck, O captive daughter of Sion.
आफैबाट धूलो टक्टक्‍या । ए यरूशलेम उठ् र बस् । ए सियोनकी कैदी छोरी, आफ्‍नो घाँटीबाट साङ्ला निकाल् ।
3 For thus saith the Lord: You were sold gratis, and you shall be redeemed without money.
किनकि परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “तिमीहरू सित्तैंमा बेचिएका थियौ, अनि पैसाविना नै तिमीहरूको छुटकारा हुनेछ ।”
4 For thus saith the Lord God: My people went down into Egypt at the beginning to sojourn there: and the Assyrian hath oppressed them without any cause at all.
किनकि परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “सुरुमा मेरा मानिसहरू अस्थायी रूपमा बसोवास गर्न मिश्रदेशमा गए । अनि अश्शूरले तिनीहरूलाई कुनै ठिक कारणविना नै अत्याचार गर्‍यो ।
5 And now what have I here, saith the Lord: for my people is taken away gratis. They that rule over them treat them unjustly, saith the Lord, and my name is continually blasphemed all the day long.
यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, मेरा मानिसहरू सित्तैंमा लगिएको देख्‍दा, अब मसँग यहाँ के छ र? यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, तिनीहरूमाथि शासन गर्नेहरूले तिनीहरूलाई खिसी गर्छन् र दिनभरि मेरो नाउँको निरन्तर निन्दा हुन्छ ।
6 Therefore my people shall know my name in that day: for I myself that spoke, behold I am here.
यसकारण मेरा मानिसहरूले मेरो नाउँ जान्‍नेछन् । “हो, त्‍यो म नै हुँ” भन्‍ने म नै हुँ भनी तिनीहरूले त्यस दिन जान्‍नेछन् ।
7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, and that preacheth peace: of him that sheweth forth good, that preacheth salvation, that saith to Sion: Thy God shall reign!
असल समाचार ल्याउने दूतहरूका गोडाहरू पहडाहरूमाथि कति सुन्दर, जसले शन्तिको घोषणा गर्छन्, जसले असल समाचार ल्‍याउँछन्, जसले उद्धारको घोषणा गर्छन्, जसले सियोनलाई भन्छन्, “तेरो परमेश्‍वरले राज्‍य गर्नुहुन्छ!” ।
8 The voice of thy watchmen: they have lifted up their voice, they shall praise together: for they shall see eye to eye when the Lord shall convert Sion.
सुन्, तिमीहरूका रक्षकहरूले आफ्‍ना सोर उच्‍च पार्छन्, तिनीहरू आनन्दले कराउँछन्, किनकि आफ्‍ना हरेक आँखाले तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु सयोनमा फर्कनुभएको देख्‍नेछन् ।
9 Rejoice, and give praise together, O ye deserts of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people: he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
ए यरूशलेमको भग्‍नावशेषहरू, आनन्दको गीत सँगसँगै गाओ । किनकि परमप्रभुले आफ्‍ना मानिसहरूलाई सान्त्वना दिनुभएको छ । उहाँले यरूशलेमको उद्धार गर्नुभएको छ ।
10 The Lord hath prepared his holy arm in the sight of all the Gentiles: and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
परमप्रभुले आफ्नो पवित्र बाहुली सबै जातिहरूको दृष्‍टिमा प्रकट गर्नुभएको छ । सारा पृथ्वीले हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरको उद्धार देख्‍नेछ ।
11 Depart, depart, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing: go out of the midst of her, be ye clean, you that carry the vessels of the Lord.
छोड, छोड, त्यहाँबाट बाहिर जाओ । अशुद्ध कुनै कुरा नछोओ । त्यसको माझबाट जाओ । आफैलाई शुद्ध बनाओ, तिमीहरू जसले परमप्रभुको पात्रलाई बोक्‍छौ ।
12 For you shall not go out in a tumult, neither shall you make haste by flight: For the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will gather you together.
किनकि तिमीहरू हतारमा बाहिर जानेछैनौ, न तिमीहरूले त्रासमा छोड्नेछौ । किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूको अगि-अगि जानुहुनेछ । अनि इस्राएलको परमेश्‍वर नै तिमीहरू पछाडिको रक्षक हुनुहुनेछ ।
13 Behold my servant shall understand, he shall be exalted, and extolled, and shall be exceeding high.
हेर, मेरो सेवकले बुद्धिमान् भएर काम गर्नेछ । ऊ उच्‍च हुनेछ र माथि उचालिनेछ र उसलाई उचालिनेछ ।
14 As many have been astonished at thee, so shall his visage be inglorious among men, and his form among the sons of men.
जसरी तँसँग धेरै जना त्रसित भएका थिए— उसको अनुहार कुनै मानिसको भन्दा धेरै कुरूप बनाइएको थियो, र उसको स्वरूप कुनै मानिसको जस्तो देखिएन ।
15 He shall sprinkle many nations, kings shall shut their mouth at him: for they to whom it was not told of him, have seen: and they that heard not, have beheld.
तापनि मेरो सेवकले धेरै जातिहरूलाई छर्कनेछ र उसको कारणले राजाहरूले आफ्‍ना मुख बन्‍द गर्नेछन् । किनकि तिनीहरूलाई नभनिएको कुरा तिनीहरूले देख्‍नेछन् र तिनीहरू नसुनेका कुरा तिनीहरूले बुझ्‍नेछन् ।
