Isaiah 37
1 It happened, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the LORD's house.
हिजकिया राजाले तिनीहरूको कुरा सुनेपछि, तिनले आफ्ना लुगा च्याते, आफूलाई भाङ्ग्राले ढाके र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा गए ।
2 He sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
राजदरवारका निरीक्षक एल्याकीम, र शास्त्री शेब्ना र पुजारीहरूका धर्मगुरुहरूलाई सबैलाई भङ्ग्रा लगाएर तिनले आमोजका छोरा यशैया अगमवक्ताकहाँ पठाए ।
3 They said to him, "Thus says Hezekiah, 'This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the birth, and there is no strength to bring forth.
तिनीहरूले उनलाई भने, “हिजकियाले भन्नुहुन्छ, 'आजको दिन बालक जन्माउनलाई प्रसव भएको, तर आफ्नो बलाक जन्माउन आमासँग कुनै बल नभएजस्तो दुःख, हप्की र अपमानको दिन हो ।
4 It may be the LORD your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.'"
सायद तपाईंका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले प्रमुख कमाण्डरका कुराहरू सुन्नुहुनेछ जसलाई तिनका मालिक अश्शूरका राजाले जीवित परमेश्वरको निन्दा गर्न पठाएका छन्, र परमप्रभु तपाईंको परमेश्वरले सुन्नुभएको कुराको निम्ति उहाँले हप्काउनुहुनेछ । अब अझै यहाँ बाँकी रहेकाहरूका निम्ति तपाईंले प्रार्थना गरिदिनुहोस् ।’”
5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
त्यसैले हिजकियाले राजाका सेवकहरू यशैयाकहाँ आए,
6 Isaiah said to them, "Tell your master, 'Thus says the LORD, "Do not be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
र यशैयाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “आफ्ना मालिकलाई भन, 'परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, “अश्शूरका राजाले मेरो अपमान गर्न पठाएका सेवकहरूले भनेका जुन तैंले सुनेको कुरादेखि तँ नडरा ।
7 Look, I will put a spirit in him and he will hear news, and will return to his own land. I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land."'"
हेर्, उसमा म एउटा आत्मा हालिदिनेछु, उसले एउटा खबर सुन्नेछ र ऊ फर्केर आफ्नै देशमा जानेछ । उसको आफ्नै देशमा म उसलाई तरवारले मार्नेछु ।”
8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
तब प्रमुख कमाण्डर फर्के र अश्शूरका राजाले लिब्नासँग युद्ध गरिरहेको भेट्टाए, किनकि राजा लाकीशबाट गएका छन् भन्ने तिनले सुनेका थिए ।
9 He heard news concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, "He has come out to fight against you." When he heard it, he returned and sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
तब कूशका राजा तिर्हाकाह र मिश्रदेशले सनहेरीबको विरुद्ध युद्ध सुरु गरे भन्ने तिनले सुने, त्यसैले तिनले हिजकियालाई यस्तो सन्देशसहित दूतहरू पठाएः
10 "Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, 'Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, "Jerusalem won't be given into the hand of the king of Assyria."
“यहूदाका राजा हिजकियालाई यसो भन, 'तिमीले भरोसा गर्ने परमेश्वरले तिमीलाई यसो भनेर छल नगरून्, 'यरूशलेमचाहिं अश्शूरका राजाको हातमा दिइने छैन' ।
11 Look, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Shall you be delivered?
हेर, अश्शूरका राजाले सबै देशहरूलाई पुर्ण रूपमा नष्ट पारेर के गरेका छन् भन्ने तिमीहरूले सुनेका छौ । त्यसैले के तिमीले चाहिं छुट्कारा पाउनेछौ र?
12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the people of Eden who were in Telassar?
के मेरा पुर्खाहरूले नष्ट पारेका जातिहरूः गोजान, हारान, रेसेप र तेल-अस्सारका अदनका मानिसहरू देवताहरूले तिनीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिए?
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?'"
हमातका राजा, अर्पादका राजा, सपर्बेम सहरहरूका, हेनाका र इव्वाका राजा कहाँ छन्?”
14 Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to the LORD's house, and spread it before the LORD.
हिजकियाले दूतबाट त्यो पत्र प्राप्त गरे र त्यो पढे । अनि तिनी परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा गए र त्यसलाई उहाँको सामु फिंजाए ।
15 Hezekiah prayed to the LORD, saying,
हिजकियाले परमप्रभुसँग प्रार्थना गरे,
16 "LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, who is enthroned among the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
“हे सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर, तपाईं करूबहरूमाथि विराजमान हुनुहुन्छ, तपाईं नै पृथ्वीका सारा राज्यहरूमाथि एक मात्र परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ ।
17 Turn your ear, LORD, and hear. Open your eyes, LORD, and look. Hear all of the words of Sennacherib, who has sent to defy the living God.
हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंको कान फर्काउनुहोस् र सुन्नुहोस् । हे परमप्रभु तपाईंको आँखा खोल्नुहोस् र हेर्नुहोस्, अनि सनहेरीबका कुरा सुन्नुहोस्, जुन तिनले जीवित परमेश्वरको गिल्ला गर्न पठाएका छन् ।
18 Truly, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the countries and their land,
हे परमप्रभु, यो सत्य हो, अश्शूरका राजाहरूले सबै जातिहरू र तिनीहरूका देशलाई विनाश गरेका छन् ।
19 and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them.
तिनीहरूले उनीहरूका देवताहरूलाई आगोले जलाएका छन्, किनकि ति देवताहरू थिएनन् तर मानिसको हातले बनेका काठ र ढुङ्गाका काम मात्र थिए । त्यसैले अश्शूरीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई विनाश गरेका छन् ।
20 Now therefore, LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are the LORD, even you only."
त्यसैले अब, हे परमप्रभु हाम्रो परमेश्वर हामीलाई त्यसको शक्तिबाट बचाउनुहोस्, ताकि पृथ्वीका सबै राज्यले जानोस् कि तपाईं मात्र परमप्रभु हुनुहुन्छ ।”
21 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'Because you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,
तब आमोजका छोरा यशैयाले हिजकियाकहाँ यसो भनेर सन्देश पठाए, “परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर भन्नुहुन्छ, 'तैंले अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीबको विषयमा मसँग प्रार्थना गरेको हुनाले,
22 this is the word which the LORD has spoken concerning him. The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
परमप्रभुले उसको बारेमा भन्नुभएको वचन यही होः “सियोनका कन्ये छोरीले तँलाई घृणा गर्छे र खिसी गर्न तँमा हाँस्छे । यरूशलेमकी छोरीले तँलाई आफ्नो टाउको हल्लाउँछे ।
23 Whom have you defied and blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel.
तैंले कसको निन्दा र अपमान गरेको छस्? कसको विरुद्ध तैंले घमण्डमा आफ्ना आँखा उचालेको र आफ्नो सोर उच्च पारेको छस्? इस्राएलको परमपवित्रको विरुद्ध हो ।
24 By your messengers you have taunted the LORD, and have said, "With the multitude of my chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon. I will cut down its tall cedars and its choice fir trees. I will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field.
तेरो सेवकहरूद्वारा तैंले परमप्रभुको निन्दा गरेको छस् र भनेको छस्, 'मेरा असंख्या रथहरूसहित पहाडहरूको उच्च स्थानहरूमा र लेबनानको उच्च ठाउँहरूमा म गएको छु । यसका अग्ला-अग्ला देवदारुहरू र यसका असल-असल सल्ला रूखहरूलाई म काट्नेछु र यसका सबभैभन्दा उच्च स्थानहरू, यसका सबभन्दा बढी फलदायी जङ्गलहरूमा म पस्नेछु ।
25 I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt."
मैले इनारहरू खनेको छु र पानी पिएको छु । मिश्रदेशका सबै नदीहरूलाई मेरा गोडाको पैतालमुनि मैले सुकाएको छु ।
26 Have you not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it in ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that it should be yours to destroy fortified cities, turning them into ruinous heaps.
मैले यसलाई लामो समुअगि नै कसरी निश्चित गरेको छु र यसलाई प्राचीन समयमा नै गरेको छु भन्ने तैंले सुनेको छैनस्? अहिले म यसलाई पुरा गर्दैछु । तँ यहाँ अभेद्य सहरहरूलाई भग्नावशेष बनाउनलाई छस् ।
27 Therefore their inhabitants had little power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were like the grass of the field, and like the green herb, like the grass on the rooftops when it is scorched by the east wind.
थोरै बल भएका तिनीहरूका बासिन्दाहरूलाई चूरचूर पारिन्छ र लज्जित हुन्छन् । तिनीहरू खेतका बिरुवाहरू, हरियो घाँस, पुर्वीय बतासअगिको छाना वा खेतमा भएका घाँस हुन् ।
28 But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging against me.
तर तेरो बसाइ, तँ बाहिर गएको, भित्र आएको र तँ मेरो विरुद्ध रिसाएको मलाई थाहा छ ।
29 Because of your raging against me, and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in your nose and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came.
म विरुद्धको तेरो रिसको कारणले र तेरो अहङ्कार मेरो कानमा परेको हुनाले, तेरो नाकमा म आफ्नो बल्छी हाल्नेछु र म आफ्नो लगाम तेरो मुखमा हाल्नेछु । तँ जताबाट आएको हो तेतै म तँलाई फर्काउनेछु ।”
30 This shall be the sign to you. You will eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs from the same; and in the third year sow and reap and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
तेरो निम्ति चिन्ह यो हुनेछ, “यो वर्ष तैंले आफै उम्रेका कुरा खानेछस्, र दोस्रो वर्षमा त्यसबाट उम्रेका कुरा खानेछस् । तर तेस्रो वर्ष तैंले रोप्नुपर्छ र कटनी गर्नुपर्छ, दाखबारी रोप्नुपर्छ र तिनका फल खानुपर्छ ।
31 The remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah will again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
यहूदाको घरानाका बाँचेर बाँकी रहेकाहरूले फेरि जरा हाल्नेछन् र फल फलाउनेछन् ।
32 For out of Jerusalem a remnant will go forth, and survivors will escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.'
किनकि यरूशलेमबाट बाँकी रहेकाहरू आउनेछन् । सियोन पर्वतबाट बाँचेकाहरू आउनेछन् । सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको जोशले यो गर्नेछ ।”
33 Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, 'He will not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither will he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.
यसकारण परमप्रभुले अश्शूरका राजाको बारेमा यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “यो सहरभित्र ऊ आउनेछैन र उसेले यहाँ एउटा वाण पनि हान्नेछैन । यसको सामु ऊ ढाल लिएर आउनेछैन वा यसको विरुद्धमा घेरा-मचान बनाउनेछैन ।
34 By the way that he came, by the same he shall return, and he shall not come to this city,' says the LORD.
जुन बाटोबाट ऊ आयो त्यही बाटोबाट ऊ नै जानेछ । यस सहरभित्र ऊ पस्नेछैन— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
35 'For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.'"
किनकि मेरो निम्ति र मेरा सेवक दाऊदको निम्ति, म यो सहरको रक्षा गर्नेछु र यसलाई छुटकारा दिनेछु ।”
36 The angel of the LORD went out and struck one hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, look, these were all dead bodies.
तब परमप्रभुको दूत गए र अश्शूरीको छाउनीमा आक्रमण गरेर १,८५,००० सिपाहीहरूलाई मारे । बिहान सबेरै मानिसहरू उठे, तब लाशहरू जताततै छरिएका थिए ।
37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, went away, returned to Nineveh, and stayed there.
त्यसैले अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीबले इस्राएल छाडे र घर गए र निनवेमा नै बसे ।
38 It happened, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place.
पछि, उसले आफ्नो देवता निस्रोकको मन्दिरमा पुजा गरिरहँदा, उसको छोरा अद्रम्मेलेक र शरेसरले तिनलाई तरवारले मारे । त्यसपछि तिनीहरू आरारातको देशमा भागेर गए । त्यसपछि उसको ठाउँमा उसको छोरा एसरहदोनले राज्य गरे ।
