Isaiah 13
1 A prophecy concerning Babylon, which Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw.
बेबिलोन बारेमा आमोजका छोरा यशैयाले प्राप्त गरेका घोषणाः
2 Upon the bare mountain lift up a banner; Cry aloud to them, wave the hand, That they may enter the gates of the tyrants!
नाङ्गो पहाडमाथि चिन्हका झण्डाहरू खडा गर, तिनका निम्ति उच्च सोरले कराओ, भारदारहरूका ढोकाहरूमा जानलाई हातले इशारा गर ।
3 I have given orders to my consecrated ones, Yea, I have called upon my mighty ones to execute mine anger, My proud exulters!
मेरो पवित्र जनलाई मैले आज्ञा गरेको छु, हो, मेरो क्रोध पुरा गर्न आफ्ना शक्तिशाली मानिसहरूलाई, गर्भका साथ आनन्दित हुने मेरो जनलाई समेत मैले बोलाएको छु ।
4 The noise of a multitude upon the mountains, like that of a great people! The tumultuous noise of kingdoms, of nations gathered together! Jehovah of hosts mustereth his army for battle.
पर्वतहरूमा एउटा भीडको जस्तो धेरै जना मानिसहरूको हल्ला! धेरै जातिहरू भेला भएका राज्यहरूको होहल्लाको आवाज! सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले युद्धका निम्ति फौज भेला पार्दै हुनुहुन्छ ।
5 They come from a distant country, From the end of Heaven, Jehovah and the instruments of his indignation. To lay waste the whole land.
तिनीहरू टाढा देशहरूबाट, क्षितिज परको बाटोबाट आउँछन् । परमप्रभुले आफ्नो न्यायको माध्यामले सम्पूर्ण देशलाई नाश गर्नुहुन्छ ।
6 Howl ye, for the day of Jehovah is at hand! Like a destruction from the Almighty, it cometh;
डाँको छोडेर रोओ, किनकि परमप्रभुको दिन नजिकै छ । यो सर्वशक्तिमान्बाट विनाशसँगै आउँछ ।
7 Therefore shall all hands hang down, And every heart of man shall melt.
यसकारण सबै हात कमजोर हुन्छन् र हरेक मुटुले ठाउँ छोड्छ ।
8 They shall be in consternation; Distress and anguish shall lay hold of them; As a woman in travail shall they writhe; They shall look upon one another with amazement: Their faces shall glow like flames.
तिनीहरू त्रसित हुनेछन् । प्रसव वेदनामा परेकी स्त्रलाई झै तिनीहरूलाई पीडा र वेदनाले समात्छ । तिनीहरूले चकित हुँदै एकअर्कालाई हेर्नेछन् । तिनीहरूका अनुहारहरू राता हुनेछन् ।
9 Behold! the day of Jehovah cometh, Terrible, full of wrath and burning indignation, To make the land a waste, And to destroy the sinners out of it.
हेर, देशलाई विनाश पार्न र त्यसबाट पापीहरूलाई नाश पार्न, परमप्रभुको दिन निर्दयी क्रोध र प्रचूर रिस लिएर आउँछ ।
10 For the stars of heaven, and the constellations thereof, Shall not give their light; The sun shall be darkened at his going forth, And the moon shall withhold her light.
आकाशका ताराहरू र तारा पुन्जहरूले आफ्ना प्रकाश दिनेछैनन् । बिहानैदेखि सूर्य नै अध्याँरो हुनेछ र चन्द्रमा चम्कनेछैन ।
11 For I will punish the world for its guilt, And the wicked for their iniquity. I will put an end to the arrogance of the proud, And I will bring down the haughtiness of the tyrants.
संसारलाई त्यसको दुष्टताको निम्ति अनि दुष्टहरूलाई तिनीहरूका अपराधको निम्ति म सजाय दिनेछु । घमण्डीको अहङ्कारलाई म अन्त गर्नेछु र निर्दयीको अहङ्कारलाई तल खसाल्नेछु ।
12 I will make men scarcer than gold; Yea, men than the gold of Ophir.
मानिसहरूलाई निखुर सुनभन्दा पनि दुर्लभ र मानवजाति भेट्न ओपीरको शुद्ध सुनभन्दा पनि कठिन म बनाउनेछु ।
13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, And the earth shall be shaken out of her place, In the anger of Jehovah of hosts, In the day of his burning indignation.
यसकारण सर्वशक्तिमान् परमभुको डरलाग्दो क्रोध र उहाँको प्रचण्ड रिसको दिनमा, आकाशलाई म हल्लाउनेछु, र पृथ्वी आफ्नो ठाउँमा हल्लिनेछ ।
14 Then shall they be like a chased doe; Like a flock, which no one gathereth together; Every one shall turn to his own people, And every one flee to his own land.
लखेटिएको हरिण वा गठालो नभएको भेडाझैं, हरेक मानिस आफ्ना मानिसतिर फर्कनेछ र आफ्नै देशतिर भाग्नेछ ।
15 Every one that is overtaken shall be thrust through, And every one that is caught shall fall by the sword.
भेट्टाइएका हरेक व्यक्तिलाई मारिनेछ र कब्जा गरिएका हरेक व्यक्ति तरवारले मर्नेछ ।
16 Their children shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; Their houses shall be plundered, and their wives ravished.
तिनीहरू दूधे बालकहरूलाई पनि तिनीहरूकै आँखाको सामु पछारेर टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिनेछ । तिनीहरूका घरहरू लुटिनेछ र तिनीहरूका पत्नीहरूलाई बलत्कार गरिनेछ ।
17 Behold, I stir up against them the Medes, Who make no account of silver, And as to gold, they do not regard it.
हेर, तिनीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्न मैले मादीहरूलाई उक्साउनै लागेको छु, जसले चाँदीको ख्याल गर्दैनन् न त तिनीहरू सुनमा नै खुसी हुन्छन् ।
18 Their bows shall strike down the young men, And on the fruit of the womb they shall have no compassion; Their eye shall not pity the children.
तिनीहरूका धनुले जवान मानिसहरूलाई प्रहार गर्नेछ । तिनीहरूले दूधे बालकहरूलाई दया देखाउँदैनन् र तिनीहरूले बालबालिकालाई दया देखाउँदैनन् ।
19 So shall Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, The proud ornament of the Chaldeans, Be like Sodom and Gomorrah, which God overthrew,
त्यसपछि राज्यहरूमध्ये धेरै प्रशंसा गरिएको कल्दीहरूका गौरवको वैभव बेबिलोनलाई, परमेश्वरले सदोम र गमोरालाई झैं नष्ट पार्नुहुनेछ ।
20 It shall never more be inhabited; Nor shall it be dwelt in through all generations. Nor shall the Arabian pitch his tent there, Nor shall shepherds make their folds there.
पुस्तौं-पुस्तासम्म त्यसमा कोही बसोवास गर्नेछैनन् । अरबीले त्यहाँ आफ्नो पाल टाँग्नेछैन, न त गोठालाहरूले आफ्ना बगालहरूलाई त्यहाँ विश्राम गराउनेछन् ।
21 But there shall the wild beasts of the desert lodge, And owls shall fill their houses; And ostriches shall dwell there, And satyrs shall dance there.
तर मरूभुमिका जङ्गली पशुहरू त्यहाँ बस्नेछन् । तिनीहरूका घरहरू लाटोकोसेराले भरिनेछन् । सुतुर्मुगहरू र घोरलहरू त्यहाँ उफ्रनेछन् ।
22 Wolves shall howl in their palaces, And jackals in their pleasant edifices. Her time is near, And her days shall not be prolonged.
तिनीहरूका किल्लाहरूमा हुँडारहरू कराउनेछन् र तिनीहरूका सुन्दर दरबारहरूमा स्यालहरू हुनेछन् । त्यसको समय नजिकै छ र त्यसका दिनहरू बिलम्व हुनेछैनन् ।
