< Isaiah 14 >
1 But the Lord will be merciful to the descendants of Jacob. Once again he will choose Israel and he will bring them back to live once more in their own land. Foreigners will come and join them there, and they will unite with the descendants of Jacob.
परमप्रभुले याकूबलाई दया गर्नुहुनेछ । उहाँले फेरि पनि इस्राएललाई रोज्नुहुनेछ र तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नै देशमा पुनर्स्थापना गर्नुहुनेछ । परदेशीहरू पनि तिनीहरूसँगै सहभागी हुनेछन् र आफूलाई याकूबको घरानासँग आवद्ध गराउनेछन् ।
2 Nations will go with them and escort them to their own land. The foreigners who stay in the Lord's land will serve the Israelites. In this way the captors become their captives, and they rule over their former oppressors.
जातिहरूले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नै ठाउँमा ल्याउनेछन् । तब इस्राएलको घरानाले तिनीहरूलाई सेवक र सेविकाको रूपमा परमप्रभुको देशमा लानेछन् । तिनीहरूलाई कैदी बनाउनेहरूलाई तिनीहरूले कैदी बनाउनेछन् र तिनीहरूले आफ्ना अत्याचारीहरूमाथि राज्य गर्नेछन् ।
3 At that time the Lord will give you relief from your pain and trouble, and from the hard labor you were forced to do.
त्यो दिनमा तिमीहरूका कष्ट र पीडाबाट, अनि तिमीहरूले गर्नुपर्ने कडा परिश्रमबाट परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई विश्राम दिनुहुन्छ,
4 You will mock the king of Babylon, saying, “How your oppressive rule has been ended, and your insolence stopped!
तब तिमीहरूले बेबिलोनको राजाको विरुद्ध यो गिल्लाको गीत गाउनेछौ, “अत्याचारीको अन्त्य कसरी भएको छ, घमण्डी क्रोधको अन्त्य भयो!
5 The Lord has broken the rod of the wicked, the rulers' scepter.
परमप्रभुले दुष्टहरूको लट्ठी र ती शासकहरूको राजदण्ड भाँच्नुभएको छ,
6 You kept on furiously hitting foreign peoples without stopping, and aggressively ruled nations with unrestrained persecution.
जसले मानिसहरूलाई क्रोधमा निरन्तर रूपमा प्रहार गर्यो, जसले अनियन्त्रित रूपमा आक्रमण गरेर जातिहरूमाथि क्रोधमा राज्य गर्यो ।
7 Now the whole earth rests peacefully, and everyone starts celebrating!
सम्पूर्ण पृथ्वी नै विश्राममा छ र शान्त छ । तिनीहरूले गीत गाउँदै उत्सव मनाउन सुरु गर्छन् ।
8 The cypress and cedar trees are glad you're gone. They sing, ‘Since you were cut down no woodcutters are coming to cut us down!’
सल्लाका रूखहरू लेबनानको देवदारुहरूसँगै तँलाई देखेर रमाउँछन् । तिनीहरू भन्छन्, 'तँलाई तल खसालिएको हुनाले, हामीलाई काटेर ढाल्न काठ काट्ने कुनै मानिस माथि आउनेछैन ।'
9 Those in the grave beneath are keen to meet you when you arrive. It wakes the spirits of the dead to welcome you, those of all the rulers of the earth. All the kings of the nations stand up from their thrones. (Sheol )
तँ चिहानमा जाँदा, तँलाई भेट्न चिहान उत्सुक हुन्छ । पृथ्वीका सबै राजालाई, जातिहरूका सबै राजालाई, आफ्ना सिंहासनबाट माथि खडा हुन लगाएर तेरो निम्ति त्यसले मृतहरूलाई जगाउँछ । (Sheol )
10 They will all speak up and tell you, ‘So you too are as weak as we are—you've become just like us!
तिनीहरू सबै बोल्नेछन् र तँलाई यसो भन्नेछन्, 'तँ पनि हामीजस्तै कमजोर भएको छस् । तँ पनि हामीजस्तै भएको छस् ।
11 Your pride is now buried with you in the grave, along with the harp music you loved. Maggots are the bed you lie on, and worms are your blanket.’ (Sheol )
तेरो तडकभडकलाई तेरो वीणाहरूको आवाजसँगै चिहनामा ल्याइएको छ । तँमुनि औंसाहरू फैलिएका छन् र तँलाई किराहरूले ढाकेको छ,' (Sheol )
12 Morning star, son of the dawn, how you have fallen from heaven! Destroyer of nations, you have been cut down to the ground!
ए दिनको तारा, बिहानको पुत्र, तँ कसरी स्वर्गबाट तल झरेको छस्! जातिहरूमाथि विजय पाएको, तँलाई कसरी भूइँमा ढालिएको छ!
13 You said to yourself: ‘I will ascend to heaven. I will raise my throne above the stars of God. I will sit enthroned on the mountain of meeting, the summit of the northern mountain.
तैंले आफ्नो हृदयमा भनेको थिइस्, 'म स्वर्गमा चढ्नेछु, परमेश्वरका ताराहरूभन्दा माथि म आफ्नो सिंहासनलाई उचाल्नेछु, र सभाको पहाडमाथि सूदूर उत्तरमा म विराजमान हुनेछु ।
14 I will ascend to the high places above the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’
बादलहरूको उचाइभन्दा माथि म चड्नेछु । म आफैलाई सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरजस्तै बनाउनेछु ।'
15 But you are dragged down to the grave, into the depths of the pit. (Sheol )
तापनि तँलाई अब चिहानमा, खडालको गहिराइमा तल खसालिएको छ । (Sheol )
16 Those who see you will stare at you, examining you closely, asking, ‘Is this the man who shook the earth, who made kingdoms tremble?
तँलाई देख्नेहरूले तँलाई टुलुटुलु हेर्नेछन् र तिनीहरूले तँलाई ध्यान दिनेछन् । तिनीहरूले सोध्नेछन्, 'के यो त्यही मानिस हो, जसले पृथ्वीलाई थर्कमान पार्यो, जसले राज्यहरूलाई हल्लायो,
17 Is this the one who turned the world into a desert, destroyed cities, and never let his prisoners return home?’
जसले संसारलाई उजाड-स्थानजस्तो बनायो, जसले सहरहरूलाई नष्ट पार्यो र आफ्ना कैदीहरूलाई घर जान दिएन?'
18 All the other kings of the nations lie in splendor in their great mausoleums.
जातिहरूका सबै राजा, तीमध्ये सबै जना, हरेक व्यक्ति आ-आफ्ना चिहानमा आदरसाथ सुत्छन् ।
19 But you are thrown out of your grave like a branch nobody wants, buried underneath the bodies of those killed by the sword. You are like a corpse trodden underfoot. You are tossed into a pit full of rocks—
तर एउटा हाँगालाई फालेझैं, तेरो चिहानबाट तँलाई बाहिर फालिएको छ । तरवारले छेडेर मारिएका खाल्डोका ढुङ्गाहरूतिर जाने मृतकहरूले तँलाई कपडाले झैं ढाक्छन् ।
20 you will not be buried like those other kings because you destroyed your own land and killed your own people. The descendants of those who do evil will never survive.
तैंले आफ्नो देशलाई नाश पारेको र आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई मारेको हुनाले तिनीहरूसँगै तेरो दफन हुनेछैन । दुष्ट काम गर्नेहरूका सन्तानलाई फेरि कहिल्यै याद गरिनेछैन ।”
21 Get ready to execute his sons because of their fathers' sins. Don't let them take over the earth; don't let them fill the whole world with their cities.
त्यसका सन्तानलाई, तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूका अपराधको निम्ति मार्ने ठाउँ तयार पार्, यसरी तिनीहरू उठ्नेछैनन् र पृथ्वी अधीन गर्नेछैनन् र सारा संसारलाई सहरहरूले भर्नेछैनन् ।
22 I will come and attack them, declares the Lord Almighty. I will destroy everything: their reputation, those who remain, their children, and their descendants, says the Lord.
“तिनीहरू विरुद्धमा म खडा हुनेछु,”— यो सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । “म बेबिलोनबाट नाउँ, सन्तान र वंशज नष्ट पार्नेछु,”— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
23 I will make Babylon into a place for water birds and into marshland. I will sweep her away with the broom of destruction, declares the Lord Almighty.”
“म त्यसलाई लाटोकोसेरोको अधीनमा र पानीको तलाउमा राख्नेछु, र विनाशको कुचोले म त्यसलाई बढार्नेछु,”— यो सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
24 The Lord Almighty has sworn an oath: It will be as I have planned. It will happen as I have decided.
सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले शपथ खानुभएको छ, “निश्चय नै, जस्तो मैले इच्छा गरेको छु, त्यस्तै हुनेछ । अनि जे उद्देश्य मैले राखेको छु, त्यो पुरा हुनेछ ।
25 I will smash the Assyrians when they are in my country Israel; I will trample them underfoot on my mountains. I will remove their yoke from my people, and take away the burdens they place on my people's shoulders.
अश्शूरलाई म आफ्नो देशमा चकनाचूर पार्नेछु र मेरो पर्वतमा म त्यसलाई खुट्टामुनि कुल्चिनेछु । तिनीहरूका काँधबाट त्यसको जुवा हटाइनेछ र तिनीहरूका पिठ्यूबाट त्यसको भारी निकालिनेछ ।”
26 This is the plan I have made regarding the whole earth; my hand stretches out to control all the nations.
सम्पूर्ण पृथ्वीको निम्ति इच्छा गरिएको योजना यही हो र सारा जातिहरूमाथि पसारिएको बहुली यही हो ।
27 The Lord Almighty has made his plan, and who will block it? His hand stretches out, and who will push back against it?
किनकि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले नै यो योजना गर्नुभएको छ । उहाँलाई कसले रोक्न सक्छ र? उहाँको हात उचालिएको छ र त्यसलाई कसले फर्काउने छ र?
28 The following message came in the year King Ahaz died.
आहाज राजा मरेको वर्षमा यो घोषणा आयोः
29 All you Philistines, don't celebrate the fact that the rod that was hitting you is broken, because from the root of that snake will grow up a viper, its fruit will be a flying serpent.
ए सारा पलिश्तीहरू हो, तिमीहरूलाई प्रहार गर्ने छडी भाँचिएको छ भनेर आनन्दित नहोओ । किनकि साँपको वंशबाट झन् विषलु सर्प बढ्नेछ, र त्यसको सन्तान डरलाग्दो उड्ने सर्प हुनेछ ।
30 The poor will have food, and the needy will live in safety, but you Philistines will die in a famine, and I will kill those who survive.
गरीबको जेठा छोरोले मेरो खर्कहरूमा आफ्ना भेडाहरू चराउनेछन्, र खाँचामा परेकाहरू सुरक्षासँग पल्टिनेछन् । तेरो वंशलाई म अनिकाले मार्नेछु जसले तेरा बाँचेका सबैलाई मृत्युमा पुर्याउनेछ ।
31 Howl, gates! Weep, town! Melt away in feat, all you Philistines! For a cloud of smoke is approaching from the north—an army with no soldier hanging back.
ए ढोका करा । ए सहर चिच्या । हे पलिश्ती, तिमीहरू सबै पग्लेर हराउनेछौ । किनकि उत्तरबाट धूँवाको बादल आउँछ र त्यसको पङ्तिमा धरमराउने कोही छैन ।
32 What will be the answer given to the messengers from that nation? “The Lord was the one who laid the foundations of Zion, and that's where his suffering people will be kept safe.”
जातिका दूलहरूलाई तिनीहरूले कसरी जवाफ दिनेछन्? “परमप्रभुले सियोनलाई बसाल्नुभएको छ, त्यसमा कष्टमा परेका मानिसहरूले शरण लिनेछन् ।”
