Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
दमस्कसको बारेमा एउटा घोषणा ।
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
अरोएरका सहरहरूलाई त्यागिनेछ । तिनीहरू बथानहरू बस्ने ठाउँहरू हुनेछन् र तिनीहरूलाई कसैले पनि तर्साउनेछैन ।
3 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith Yhwh of Armies.
किल्लाबन्दी गरिएका सहरहरू एफ्राइमबाट, दमस्कसको राज्यबाट लोप हुनेछन्, र अरामका बाँकी रहेकाहरू—तिनीहरू इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको गौरवझैं हुनेछन्— यो सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
4 And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.
त्यो दिनमा यस्तो हुनेछ, याकूबको गौरव दुब्लो हुनेछ र त्यसको शरीरको मोटाइ पातलो हुनेछ ।
5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the grain, and reapeth the heads with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth heads in the valley of Rephaim.
यो अन्न जम्मा गर्नेले अन्न थुपारेजस्तो हुनेछ, र त्यसका हातहरूले अन्न कटानी गर्छ । यो रपाईको बेसीमा शिला-बाला बटुलेजस्तो हुनेछ ।
6 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith Yhwh God of Israel.
जैतूनको रुखलाई हल्लाए जसरी पनि शिलाहरू छोडिनेछन्: माथिल्लो हाँगामा दुइ-तिन वटा वा फलको सबभन्दा अग्लो हाँगाहरूमा चार-पाँच वटा जैतून छोडिन्छन्— यो परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो ।
7 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
त्यस दिन मानिसहरूले आफ्ना सृष्टिकर्तालाई हेर्नेछन् र तिनीहरूका आँखाले इस्राएलका पवित्रलाई हेर्नेछन् ।
8 And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.
तिनीहरूले आफ्नो हातका कामहरू अर्थात् वेदीहरूतिर हेर्नेछैनन्, न त तिनीहरूले आफ्नै औंलाले बनाएका अशेराका खम्बाहरू न सूर्यका प्रतिमाहरूलाई नै हेर्नेछन् ।
9 In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.
त्यस दिन तिनीहरूका बलिया सहरहरू डाँडाका टाकुराहरूका भिरहरूमा त्यगिएका जङ्गलजस्तै हुनेछन्, जसलाई इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका कारणले त्यागिएका थिए र त्यो उजाड हुनेछ ।
10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:
किनकि तैंले आफ्नो मुक्तिको परमेश्वरलाई बिर्सेको छस् र तेरो सामर्थ्यको चट्टानलाई बेवास्ता गरेको छस् । त्यसैले तैंले सुन्दर बिरुवाहरू रोपिस् र विदेशीबाट पाएको दाखका हाँगाहरू रोपिस्,
11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
तैंले रोपेको, बार लगाएको र खेती गरेको दिनमा । तेरा बीउहरू चाँडै वृद्धि हुनेछन्, तर कष्ट र घोर दुखको दिनमा फल दिनेछैन ।
12 Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
धिक्कार! धेरै मानिसहरूको गर्जन, जुन समुद्रहरूको गर्जन, र जातिहरूका हल्लाझैं गर्जन्छ, जुन शक्तिशाली पानी बगेझैं बग्छ!
13 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
जातिहरू धेरै पानी बगेझैं गर्जन्छन्, तर उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई हप्काउनुहुनेछ र तिनीहरू टाढा भाग्नेछन्, डाँडाहरूमाथि भुसझैं तिनीहरू हावाको सामु उड्नेछन् र आँधीको सामु मडारिएको झारझैं हुनेछन् ।
14 And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
हेर, साँझमा त्रास! बिहान हुनअगि ती बितिजानेछन्! हामीलाई लूट्नेहरू, हामीलाई डकैती गर्नेहरूको भाग यस्तै हुनेछ ।
