< Isaiah 32 >

1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice.
हेर, एक जना राजाले धर्मिकतामा राज्‍य गर्नेछन् र शासकहरूले न्यायमा राज्‍य गर्नेछन् ।
2 And every one shall be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivulets of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a large rock in a languishing land.
प्रत्‍येक व्‍यक्‍ति हावाबाट बच्‍ने ठाउँजस्तै, र आँधीबाट शरण लिने ठाउँजस्तै, सुख्‍खा ठाउँको पानीको धारहरूजस्तै, थकानको देशमा भएको ठुलो चट्टानको छायाजस्तै हुनेछ ।
3 And the eyes of those that see shall not be blinded again, and the ears of those that hear shall hearken.
तब हेर्नेहरूका आँखा धमिलो हुनेछैनन् र सुन्‍नेहरूका कानले ध्यानपुर्वक सुन्‍नेछन् ।
4 The heart also of the rash shall be attentive in order to know, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
हडबडेले समझदार भएर होसियारसाथ विचार गर्नेछ, अनि भकभकेले प्रष्‍टसँग र सजिलोसँग बोल्‍नेछ ।
5 The worthless person shall be no more called liberal, and the avaricious man shall not be said to be bountiful.
मूर्खलाई कदापि आदरणीय भनिनेछैन न छलीलाई चरित्रवान भनिनेछ ।
6 For the worthless person ever speaketh villany, and his heart will work injustice, to practise hypocrisy, and to speak error against the Lord, to leave empty the soul of the hungry, and the drink of the thirsty will he take away.
किनकि मूर्खले मूर्खताको कुरा गर्छ, उसको मनले दुष्‍ट र अधर्मी कामहरूका योजना बनाउछ र उसले परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा गलत किसिमले बोल्छ । उसले भोकाएकोलाई रित्तो बनाउँछ र तिर्खाएकोलाई पानीको कमी तुल्याउँछ ।
7 The instruments also of the avaricious man are evil: he deviseth wicked resolves to destroy the poor with words of falsehood, even when the needy speaketh what is right.
छलीका विधिहरू खराब हुन्‍छन् । गरीबले ठिक कुरा भने पनि उसले गरीबलाई विनाश पार्ने दुष्‍ट योजनाहरू बनाउँछ ।
8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and he ever persisteth by liberal things.
तर आदरणीय मानिसले आदरणीय योजना बनाउँछ । अनि उसको आदरणीय कामहरूको कारणले नै ऊ खडा रहन्‍छ ।
9 Ye careless women rise up, hear my voice; ye daughters that are secure, give ear unto my speech.
ए चैनमा बसेका स्‍त्रीहरू, खडा होओ र मेरो सोरलाई सुन । ए चिन्‍ता नभएका छोरीहरू, मेरो कुरा सुन ।
10 After days and years shall ye shudder, ye women that are secure; for ended is the vintage, the fruit gathering shall nowise come.
किनकि ए चिन्‍ता नभएका स्‍त्रीहरू, एक वर्षभन्दा केही बढी समयमा तिमीहरूको दृढतालाई तोडिनेछ, किनकि दाखको कटनी बितेर जानेछ, फसल जम्‍मा गर्ने समय आउनेछैन ।
11 Tremble, ye careless women; shudder, ye that are secure, strip off your garments and make yourselves bare, and gird [sackcloth] upon the loins.
ए चैनमा बस्‍ने स्‍त्रीहरू, थरथर होओ । ए निर्धक्‍क हुनेहरू, घबराओ । आफ्ना राम्रा पोशाकहरू फुकाल र आफैलाई नाङ्गो पार । आफ्‍ना कम्मरको वरिपरि भाङ्ग्रा लगाओ ।
12 [They shall strike] on the breast, lamenting, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
राम्रा खेतहरूका निम्ति र फलदायी दाखहरूका निम्ति तिमीहरूले विलाप गर्नेछौ ।
13 Upon the soil of my people thorns and briers shall come up; yea, upon all the houses of joy of the gladsome town.
मेरा मानिसहरूका जमिनमा, कुनै बेलाका आनन्‍द गर्ने सहरका घरहरूमा समेत काँढाहरू र सिउँडीहरू उम्रिनेछन् ।
14 Because the palace is abandoned, the tumult of the city is forsaken; the hill and watch-tower are become dens for a long time, a joyous haunt for wild asses, a pasture for flocks.
किनकि दरबारहरू त्यागिनेछन्, भीडको सहरलाई उजाड बनाइनेछ । पहाड र धरहरा सदाको निम्ति गुफाहरू, वन-गधाहरूका खुसी, गाइवस्तुका चरन हुनेछ ।
15 Until a spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be changed into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be accounted as a forest.
माथिबाट हामीमा आत्मा नखन्यासम्म र उजाड-स्‍थान एउटा फलदायी खेत नभएसम्म र फलदायी खेतलाई एउटा जङ्गझैं नसोचेसम्‍म ।
16 Then shall justice dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness abide in the fruitful field.
तब न्यान उजाड-स्‍थान बास गर्नेछ । अनि धार्मिकताचाहिं फलदायी खेतमा बास गर्नेछ ।
17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and security for ever.
धार्मिकताको कामचाहिं शान्ति हुनेछ । अनि धार्मिकताको परिणामचाहिं सदासर्वदा शान्ति र दृढता हुनेछ ।
18 And then shall my people abide in peaceful dwellings, and secure abodes, and in undisturbed resting-places.
मेरा मानिसहरू शान्तिपुर्ण बासस्थानमा, सुरक्षित घरहरूमा र शान्तसित विश्राम गर्ने ठाउँहरूमा बास गर्नेछन् ।
19 And it shall spread itself out in the declivity of the forest; and far down in the lowlands shall the city descend.
तर असिना परे पनि र जङ्गल नाश भए पनि र सहरलाई पुर्ण रूपमा निर्मूल पारिए पनि,
20 Happy are ye that sow beside all waters, freely sending forth the feet of the ox and the ass.
तिमीहरू जसले नदीहरूका किनारहरूमा बीउ छरेका छौ, तिमीहरूका जसले आफ्‍ना गोरु र गधालाई चर्न पठाएका छौ, आशिषित्‌ हुनेछौ ।
