Esias 8
1 And the Lord said to me, Take to yourself a volume of a great new [book], and write in it with a man's pen concerning the making a rapid plunder of spoils; for it is near at hand.
परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “एउटा ठुलो पाटी ले र त्यसमा लेख्, ‘महेर-शालल-हाज-बज ।'
2 And make me witnesses [of] faithful men, Urias, and Zacharias the son of Barachias.
मेरो कुरा पक्का गर्नलाई म विश्वासयोग्य साक्षीहरू अर्थात् पुजारी उरियाह र येबेरक्याहका छोरा जकरियालाई बोलाउनेछु ।”
3 And I went in to the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. And the Lord said to me, Call his name, Spoil quickly, plunder speedily.
म अगमवादिनीकहाँ गएँ र तिनी गर्भवती भइन् र एउटा छोरा जन्माइन् । तब परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “त्यसको नाउँ महेर-शालल-हाज-बज राख् ।
4 For before the child shall know [how] to call [his] father or [his] mother, [one] shall take the power of Damascus and the spoils of Samaria before the king of the Assyrians.
किनकि बालकले 'मेरो बुबा' र 'मेरो आमा' भन्न जान्नअघि नै दमसकसको धन र सामरियाको लूटलाई अश्शूरको राजाले बोकेर लैजानेछ ।”
5 And the Lord spoke to me yet again, [saying],
परमप्रभु फेरि मसँग बोल्नुभयो,
6 Because this people chooses not the water of Siloam that goes softly, but wills to have Rassin, and the son of Romelias [to be] king over you;
“यी मानिसहरूले शीलोको शान्त पानीलाई इन्कार गरेका छन् अनि रसीन र रमल्याहको छोरासित खुसी भएका छन्,
7 therefore, behold, the Lord brings up upon you the water of the river, strong and abundant, [even] the king of the Assyrians, and his glory: and he shall come up over every valley of yours, and shall walk over every wall of yours:
त्यसकारण परमप्रभुले शक्तिशाली र धेरै नदीको पानी अर्थात् अश्शूरका राजा र तिनका सबै महिमा तिनीहरूमाथि ल्याउन लाग्नुभएको छ । त्यसका सबै नहरमा त्यो आउनेछ र त्यसका किनारहरू भरिएर बग्नेछन् ।
8 and he shall take away from Juda [every] man who shall be able to lift up his head, [and every one] able to accomplish anything; and his camp shall fill the breadth of your land, [O] God with us.
यो तिमीहरूका घाँटीसम्म पुगुन्जेल नदी बाढी आएर अघि बढ्दै यहूदाभित्रसम्म बग्नेछ । ए इम्मानुएल, यसको फैलिएका पखेटाहरूले तेरो देशकको सबैतिर ढाक्नेछ ।”
9 Know, you Gentiles, and be conquered; listen you, even to the extremity of the earth: be conquered, after you strengthened yourselves; for even if you should again strengthen yourselves, you shall again be conquered.
मानिसहरू टुक्रा-टुक्रा हुनेछन् । सुन, ए टाढाका देशहरूः युद्धको निम्ति आफूलाई हतियारले तयार गर र चकनाचूर होओ । आफूलाई हतियारले तयार गर र चकनाचूर होओ ।
10 And whatever counsel you shall take, the Lord shall bring it to nothing; and whatever word you shall speak, it shall not stand among you: for God is with us.
योजना बनाओ, तर यो पुरा हुनेछैन । आज्ञा गर, तर यो पालन गरिनेछैन, किनकि परमेश्वर हामीसँग हुनुहुन्छ ।
11 Thus says the Lord, With a strong hand they revolt from the course of the way of this people, saying,
परमप्रभुले मसँग बोल्नुभयो, उहाँको बलियो बाहुली ममाथि थियो र यी मानिसहरू हिंडेका मार्ग नहिंड्न मलाई चेताउनी दिनुभयो ।
12 Let them not say, [It is] hard, for whatever this people says, is hard: but fear not you their fear, neither be dismayed.
यी मानिसहरूले षड्यान्त्र भनेको कुनै पनि कुरालाई षड्यान्त्र नभन्, तिनीहरू डराउने कुरासित तँ डराउने छैनस्, र त्रसित नहो ।
13 Sanctify you the Lord himself; and he shall be your fear.
तैंले पवित्र मानेर आदर गर्ने परमप्रभु नै हुनुहुन्छ । तैंले उहाँकै भय मान्नुपर्छ र तँ उहाँसितै डराउनुपर्छ ।
14 And if you shall trust in him, he shall be to you for a sanctuary; and you shall not come against [him] as against a stumbling-stone, neither as against the falling of a rock: but the houses of Jacob are in a snare, and the dwellers in Jerusalem in a pit.
उहाँ पवित्र वासस्थान हुनुहुनेछ । तर इस्राएलका दुवै घरानाका निम्ति उहाँ प्रहार गर्ने ढुङ्गो र ठेस लाग्ने चट्टान हुनुहुनेछ— र यरूशलेमका मानिसहरूका निम्ति उहाँ पासो र जाल हुनुहुनेछ ।
15 Therefore many among them shall be weak, and fall, and be crushed; and they shall draw near, and men shall be taken securely.
धेरै जना मानिस यसमा ठेस खानेछन् र लड्नेछन् र चकनाचूर हुनेछन्, र जाल फस्नेछन् र समातिनेछन् ।
16 Then shall those who seal themselves that they may not learn the law be made manifest.
मेरो गवाहीलाई बाँध, आधिकारिक लेखमा छाप लगाऊ र त्यो मेरा चेलाहरूलाई देऊ ।
17 And [one] shall say, I will wait for God, who has turned away his face from the house of Jacob, and I will trust in him.
याकूबको घरानाबाट आफ्नो मुहार लुकाउनुहुने परमप्रभु म आशा गर्छु । म उहाँमा भरोसा गर्छु ।
18 Behold I and the children which God has given me: and they shall be [for] signs and wonders in the house of Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells in mount Sion.
हेर, म र परमप्रभुले मलाई दिनुभएको छोरा सियोन पर्वतमा वास गर्नुहुने सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुबाट, इस्राएलको निम्ति चिन्हहरू र आश्चर्य कामहरू हुन् ।
19 And if they should say to you, Seek those who have in them a divining spirit, and them that speak out of the earth, them that speak vain words, who speak out of their belly: shall not a nation diligently seek to their God? why do they seek to the dead concerning the living?
तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई भन्नेछन्, “भूत खेलाउने र आत्माहरू खेलाउनेसित सल्लाह लेओ” जसले मन्त्र भन्छन् र गुनगुनाउछन् । तर के मानिसहरूले आफ्नो परमेश्वरसँग सल्लाह लिनुपर्दैन र? के तिनीहरूले जीवितहरूको निम्ति मृतहरूसँग सल्लाह लिनुपर्छ र?
20 For he has given the law for a help, that they should not speak according to this word, concerning which there are no gifts to give for it.
व्यवस्था र गवाहीतिर लाग! तिनले यसो भन्दैनन् भने, तिनीहरूसँग बिहानको मिरमिरे उज्यालो नभएको हुनाले नै हो ।
21 And famine shall come sorely upon you, and it shall come to pass, [that] when you shall be hungry, you shall be grieved, and you shall speak ill of the prince and your fathers' ordinances: and they shall look up to heaven above,
तिनीहरू अति व्याकूल भएर र भोकाएर देशमा हिंड्नेछन् । जब तिनीहरू भोकाउँछन्, तब तिनीहरू रिसाउनेछन्, र तिनीहरूले आफ्नो अनुहार माथि उचाल्दा, आफ्ना राजा र आफ्ना परमेश्वरलाई सराप्नेछन् ।
22 and they shall look on the earth below, and behold severe distress, and darkness, affliction, and anguish, and darkness so that [one can’t] see; and he that is in anguish shall not be distressed only for a time.
तिनीहरूले पृथ्वीमा हेर्नेछन् र व्यकुलता, अन्धकार र अत्याचारको बादल देख्नेछन् । तिनीहरू अन्धकारको देशमा लगिनेछन् ।
