Isaiah 42
1 "Look, my servant I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul delights. I have put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the nations.
हेर, मेरो सेवक, जसलाई म समर्थन गर्छु । मेरो चुनिएको मानिस, जसमा म खुसी हुन्छु । मेरो आत्मा मैले तिनमा हालेको छु । तिनले जातिहरूका माझमा न्याय ल्याउनेछन् ।
2 He will not shout, nor raise his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
तिनी कराउनेछैनन् न चिच्याउनेछन्, न तिनको आवाज सडकहरूमा सुनाउनेछन् ।
3 He won't break a bruised reed. And he won't extinguish a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring justice.
तिनले फुटेको निगालोलाई भाँच्नेछैनन्, अनि मधुरो बत्तीलाई तिनले निभाउनेछैनन्: तिनले विश्वस्ततासाथ न्याय गर्नेछन् ।
4 He will not grow dim or be crushed, until he has established justice on the earth, and in his name the coastlands will hope."
पृथ्वीमा तिनले न्याय स्थापित नगरेसम्म तिनी मूर्छा पर्नेछैनन्, न निराश हुनेछन् । अनि समुद्र किनारहरूले तिनको न्यायको आशा गर्छन् ।
5 Thus says God, Jehovah, he who created the heavens and stretched them out, he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it.
आकाश सृष्टि गर्नुहुने र त्यसलाई फिंजाउनुहुने, पृथ्वी र त्यसले उपन्न गर्ने सबै थोक बनाउनुहुने, त्यसमा मानिसहरूलाई सास दिनुहुने र त्यसमा बस्नेहरूलाई जीवन दिनुहुने परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः
6 "I, Jehovah, have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and make you a covenant for the people, as a light for the nations;
“म परमप्रभुले तिमीलाई धार्मिकतामा बोलाएको छु र तिम्रो हात समात्नेछु । म तिमीलाई सुरक्षा दिनेछु र मानिसहरूको निम्ति करारको रूपमा र जतिहरूका निम्ति ज्योतिको रूपमा खडा गर्नेछु,
7 to open the blind eyes, to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.
अन्धाहरूका आँखा खोलिदिन, कालकोठरीबाट कैदीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिन र अन्धकारमा बस्नेहरूलाई बन्दीगृहबाट छुटकारा दिन ।
8 "I am Jehovah. That is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to engraved images.
म परमप्रभु हुँ, मेरो नाउँत्यही हो । म आफ्नो महिमा अर्कोलाई दिनेछैन न म आफ्नो प्रशंसा मूर्तीहरूलाई दिन्छु ।
9 Look, the former things have happened, and I declare new things. I tell you about them before they come up."
हेर, पहिलेका कुरा बितेर गए, अब म नयाँ घटनाहरूका घोषणा गर्न लागेको छु । ती सुरु हुनअगि नै तिनका बारेमा म तिमीलाई भन्नेछु ।”
10 Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise from the remotest parts of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, the islands and their inhabitants.
परमप्रभुको निम्ति एउटा नयाँ गीत गाओ र पृथ्वीको अन्तिम छेउबाट उहाँको प्रशंसा गाओ । तिमीहरू जो तल समुद्रमा जान्छौ, र त्यसमा भएका सबैले, समुद्री किनारहरू र त्यहाँ बस्नेहरूले ।
11 Let the desert and its cities cry out, with the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing. Let them shout from the top of the mountains.
मरुभूमि र सहरहरूले सोर निकालून्, केदार बसेका गाउँहरू आनन्दले कराऊन्! सेला काबासिन्दाहरूले गाऊन्, पर्वतका चुचुराबाट तिनीहरू कराऊन् ।
12 Let them give glory to Jehovah, and declare his praise in the islands.
तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई महिमा दिऊन् र समुद्र किनारहरूमा उहाँको प्रशंसाको घोषणा गरून् ।
13 Jehovah will go out like a mighty man. He will stir up zeal like a man of war. He will raise a war cry. Yes, he will shout aloud. He will triumph over his enemies.
परमप्रभु एउटा युद्धाझैं बाहिर निस्कनुहुनेछ । एक जना योद्धाले झैं उहाँले आफ्नो जोश जगाउनुहुनेछ । उहाँ करानुहुनेछ, हो, उहाँले युद्धाको ध्वनि निकाल्नुहुनेछ । उहाँले आफ्ना शत्रुहरूलाई आफ्नो शक्ति देखाउनुहुनेछ ।
14 "I have been silent a long time. I have been quiet and restrained myself. Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will both gasp and pant.
म लामो समयसम्म चुपचाप बसेको छु । म मौन रहेको छु र आफैंलाई थामेको छु । अब म प्रसव वेदनामा परेको स्त्रझैं कराउँछु । म स्वाँ-स्वाँ गर्छु र छिटो-छिटो सास फेर्छु ।
15 I will destroy mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs. I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
म पहाडहरू र पर्वतहरूलाई उजाड पारेर छोड्नेछु र तिनका सबै बोटबिरुवालाई सुख्खा बनाउनेछु । अनि नदीहरूलाई टापुहरूमा म परिणत गर्नेछु र सिमसारहरू सुख्खा हुनेछन् ।
16 I will bring the blind by a way that they do not know. I will lead them in paths that they do not know. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. I will do these things, and I will not forsake them.
अन्धाहरूले नचिनेका बाटोद्वारा म तिनीहरूले ल्याउनेछु । तिनीहरूलाई थाहा नभएका बाटोहरूमा म तिनीहरूलाई डोर्याउनेछु । तिनीहरूका सामु अन्धकारलाई म उज्यालोमा बद्लनेछु र बाङ्गोटिङ्गो ठाउँहरूलाई सोझो बनाउनेछु । यी कुराहरू म गर्नेछु र म तिनीहरूलाई त्यग्नेछैन ।
17 "Those who trust in engraved images, who tell molten images, 'You are our gods' will be turned back. They will be utterly disappointed.
तिनीहरूलाई फर्काइनेछ, तिनीहरूलाई पुर्ण रूपमा लाजमा पारिनेछ, जसले कुँदिएको आकृतिहरूमा भरोसा गर्छन्, जसले धातुका आकृतिहरूलाई भन्छन्, “तपाईंहरू हाम्रा ईश्वरहरू हुनुहुन्छ” ।
18 "Hear, you deaf, and look, you blind, that you may see.
ए बहिरा हो, सुन । अनि अन्धाहरूले हेर, ताकि तिमीहरूले देख्न सक ।
19 Who is blind, but my servant? Or who is as deaf as my messenger whom I send? Who is as blind as he who is at peace, and as blind as Jehovah's servant?
मेरो सेवकबाहेक को अन्धा छ? वा मैले पठाएको मेरो दूतबहेक को बहिरो छ? मेरो करारको साझेदारजस्तो बहिरो वा परमप्रभुको सेवकजस्तो अन्धा को छ?
20 You see many things, but do not observe. His ears are open, but he doesn't listen.
तैंले धेरै थोक देख्छस्, तर बुझ्दैनस् । कानहरू खुल्ला छन्, तर कसैले सुन्दैन ।
21 It pleased Jehovah, for his righteousness' sake, to magnify the law, and make it honorable.
आफ्नो न्यायको प्रशंसा गर्न र आफ्नो व्यावस्थालाई महिमित पार्न परमप्रभु खुसी हुनुहुन्छ ।
22 But this is a robbed and plundered people. All of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prisons. They have become a prey, and no one delivers; and a spoil, and no one says, 'Restore them.'
तर यिनीहरू ठगिएका र लुटिएका मानिसहरू हुन् । तिनीहरू सबै खल्डाहरूमा जाकिएका, कैदहरूमा राखिएका छन् । तिनीहरू कसैले उद्धार नगर्ने लूटका माल भएका छन् र कसैले यसो भन्दैन, “तिनीहरूलाई फिर्ता ल्याओ ।”
23 Who is there among you who will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear for the time to come?
तिमीहरूमध्ये कसले यो सुन्नेछ? भविष्यमा कसले सुन्नेछ र ध्यान दिनेछ?
24 Who gave Jacob as plunder, and Israel to the robbers? Did not Jehovah, he against whom we have sinned? For they would not walk in his ways, and they disobeyed his law.
याकूबलाई कसले लुटेराको हातमा र इस्राएललाई लुटाहाको हातमा सुम्प्यो? के परमप्रभुले नै होइन, जसको विरुद्धमा हामीले पाप गरेका छौं, जसको बाटोमा हिंड्न तिनीहरू इन्कार गरे र जसको व्यावस्था पालन गर्न तिनीहरूले इन्कार गरे?
25 Therefore he poured the fierceness of his anger on him, and the strength of battle; and it set him on fire all around, but he did not know; and it burned him, but he did not take it to heart."
यसकारण उहाँले तिनीहरूमाथि आफ्नो डरलग्दो क्रोध र युद्धको हिंसा खन्याउनुभयो, त्यसको ज्वालाले तिनीहरूलाई घेर्यो, तापनि तिनीहरूले बुझेनन् । त्यसले तिनीहरूलाई भस्म पार्यो, तर तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई मनमा लिएनन् ।
