< Isaiah 29 >

1 Ho Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! add ye year to year; let the feasts come round:
अरीएललाई धिक्‍कार, ए अरीएल, सहर जहाँ दाऊदले छाउनी हाले! वर्षमाथि वर्ष थप् । चाडहरू फेरो मार्दै आऊन्!
2 then will I distress Ariel, and there shall be mourning and lamentation: and she shall be unto me as Ariel.
तर म अरीएललाई घेरा हाल्नेछु, र त्यसले विलाप र शोक गर्नेछ । त्यो मेरो निम्ति बलिको वेदीजस्‍तो हुनेछ ।
3 And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a fort, and I will raise siege works against thee.
तेरो विरुद्धमा गोलाकार छाउनी म हाल्‍नेछु र तेरो विरुद्धमा पर्खालसहित घेरा म हाल्‍नेछु, र तेरो विरद्ध घेरा-मचानले म घेर्नेछु ।
4 And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust; and thy voice shall be as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.
तँ जमिनमा ढालिनेछस् र जमिनबाट बोल्‍नेछस् । तँ धूलोबाट मलिन सोरमा बोल्‍नेछस् । तेरो आवाज जमिनबाट बोल्‍ने आत्माजस्तै हुनेछ र धूलोबाट तेरो आवाजले सुस्केर हाल्नेछ ।
5 But the multitude of thy foes shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
ठुलो सङ्‍ख्‍यामा भएका तेरा आक्रमणकारीहरू मसिनो धूलोजस्ता हुनेछन् र असंख्या निर्दयीहरू उडेर जाने भुसजस्तै हुनेछन् । यो तुरुन्तै, एकै क्षणमा नै हुनेछ ।
6 She shall be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of a devouring fire.
सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु तँकहाँ गर्जन, भूकम्म, ठुलो आवाज, शक्तिशाली हावाहुरी र हिंस्रक आँधी र भष्‍म पार्ने आगोको ज्वालासहित आउनुहुनेछ ।
7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her strong hold, and that distress her, shall be as a dream, a vision of the night.
यो सपनाजस्तो अर्थात् रातको दर्शनजस्तो हुने छः सबै जातिहरूका हुलले अरीएल र त्यसको किल्ला विरुद्ध लडाइँ गर्नेछन् । त्यसमाथि दावाब पार्न तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई र त्यसका किल्लाहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछन् ।
8 And it shall be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
यो भोकाएको मानिसले खाइरहेको सपना देखेको, तर त्यो ब्युँझदा त्यसको पेट रित्तो भएजस्तै हुनेछ । यो तिर्खाएको मानिसले पानी पिइरहेको सपना देखेको, तर त्यो ब्युँझदा आफ्नो प्यास नमेटिएर छट्पटाइरहेको जस्तै हुनेछ । हो, सियोन पर्वतको विरुद्ध लडाइँ गर्ने धेरै जातिहरूलाई त्यस्तै हुनेछ ।
9 Tarry ye and wonder, take your pleasure and be blind: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
आफै चकित होओ र अचम्म मान । आफैलाई अन्धा बन र अन्धा होओ! मतवाला होओ, तर दाखमद्यले होइन । लरखराओ, तर मद्यले होइन ।
10 For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes, the prophets; and your heads, the seers, hath he covered.
किनकि परमप्रभुलले तिमीहरूमाथि गहिरो निद्राको आत्‍मा खन्याउनुभएको छ । उहाँले तिमीहरू अर्थात् अगमवक्ताहरूका आँखाहरू बन्द गर्नुभएको छ र तिमीहरू अर्थात् दर्शीहरूलाई शिरहरू ढाक्‍नुभएको छ ।
11 And all vision is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot, for it is sealed:
सबै प्रकाश तिमीहरूको निम्ति मोहोर लगाइएको एउटा पुस्तकजस्तो हुनेछ, जसलाई मानिसहरूले कोही जान्‍ने मानिसलाई “पढिदिनुहोस्” भन्‍दै देलान् । उसले पनि भन्छ, “म पढ्न सक्दिनँ, किनकि यसमा मोहोर लगाइएको छ ।”
12 and the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
कोही पढ्न नसक्‍नेलाई “यो पढिदिनुहोस्” भन्दै दिंदा, उसले भन्‍छ, “म पढ्न सक्दिनँ ।”
13 And the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw nigh [unto me], and with their mouth and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which hath been taught [them]:
परमप्रभु भन्‍नुभयो, “यी मानिसहरू आफ्‍ना मुखले मेरो नजिक आउँछन् र आफ्‍ना ओठले मेरो आदर गर्छन्, तर तिनीहरूका हृदय मबाट टाढा छ । मेरो निम्ति तिनीहरूले गर्ने आदरचाहिं मानिसहरूले सिकाएका आज्ञा मात्र हुन् ।
14 therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder: and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
यसकारण, हेर्, म यी मानिसहरूका माझमा अचम्‍मका कुरा, आश्‍चर्यमाथि आश्‍चर्य गर्नलाई अघि बढ्‍नेछु । तिनीहरूका बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूका बुद्धि नष्‍ट हुनेछ र तिनीहरूका विवेकशील मानिसहरूका समझ लोप हुनेछ ।”
15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
परमप्रभुबाट आफ्‍ना योजनाहरूलाई गहन रूपमा लुकाउनेहरू र अन्धाकारमा काम गर्नेहरूलाई धिक्‍कार! तिनीहरू भन्छन्, “हामीलाई कसले देख्छ, र हामीलाई कसले चिन्छ?”
16 Ye turn things upside down! Shall the potter be counted as clay; that the thing made should say of him that made it, He made me not; or the thing framed say of him that framed it, He hath no understanding?
तिमीहरूले कुराहरूलाई उल्टा बनाउँछौ! के कुमालेलाई माटोजस्तै ठान्‍ने, ताकि बनाइएको थोकले आफूलाई बनाउनेलाई यसो भनोस्, “त्यसले मलाई बनाएको होइन” वा बनाएको थोकले आफूलाई बनाउनेलाई भन्‍ने, “त्यसले मलाई बुझ्दैन”?
17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be counted for a forest?
केही क्षणमा नै लेबनानलाई खेत बनाइनेछ र खेतचाहिं जङ्गल हुनेछ ।
18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
त्यो दिनमा बहिराले वचनको पुस्तक सुन्‍नेछ र अन्‍धाका आँखाले गहन अन्धकारबाट देख्‍नेछ ।
19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
अत्यचारमा परेकाहरूले फेरि परमप्रभुमा आनन्द मनाउनेछन् र मानिसहरू माझका भएका गरीबहरूले इस्राएलको परमपवित्रमा आनन्द मनाउनेछन् ।
20 For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner ceaseth, and all they that watch for iniquity are cut off:
किनभने निर्दयीहरूको अन्त हुनेछ र गिल्ला गर्नेहरू लप हुनेछन् । दुष्‍ट गर्न रुचाउनेहरू सबै जनालाई निर्मूल पारिनेछ,
21 that make a man an offender in a cause, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just with a thing of nought.
जसले एक वचनले मानिसलाई दोष लगाउने बनाउँछ । तिनीहरूले न्याय खोज्ने व्यक्‍तिलाई ढोकामा पासो थाप्छन् र झुठ बोलेर धर्मीलाई तल खसाल्‍छन् ।
22 Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
यसकारण, परमप्रभुले याकूबको घरानाको बारेमा, अब्राहमलाई उद्धार गर्नुहुने परमप्रभुले यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “याकूब कुनै पनि हालतमा लज्‍जित हुनेछैन, न उसको मुहार नै पहेंलो हुनेछ ।
23 But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name; yea, they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall stand in awe of the God of Israel.
तर उसले आफ्ना छोराछोरी अर्थात् मेरा हातका कामलाई देख्‍छ, तब तिनीहरूले मेरो नाउँलाई पवित्र तुल्याउनेछन् । तिनीहरूले याकूबको परमपवित्रको नाउँलाई पवित्र तुल्याउनेछन् र तिनीहरू इस्राएलको परमेश्‍वरको भयमा खडा हुनेछन् ।
24 They also that err in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmur shall learn doctrine.
ती आत्मामा गल्ती गर्नेहरूले समझ प्राप्‍त गर्नेछन् र गनगन गर्नेहरूले ज्ञान सिक्‍नेछन् ।”
