Isaiah 59
1 Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
हेर, परमप्रभुको हात यति छोटो छैन कि त्यसले बचाउन सक्दैन । न त उहाँको कान यति मन्द नै छ कि त्यसले सुन्न सक्दैन ।
2 but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
तापनि तिमीहरूका पापपुर्ण कामहरूले तिमीहरूलाई परमेश्वरबाट अलग गरेको छ, र तिमीहरूका पापहरूले तिमीहरूबाट र तिमीहरूका कुरा सुन्नबाट उहाँलाई आफ्नो मुख लुकाउने बनाएको छ ।
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue muttereth wickedness.
किनकि तिमीहरूका हातहरूमा रगतका र तिमीहरूको औंलाहरूमा पापका दाग छन् । तिमीहरूका ओठहरूले झुट बोल्छन् र तिमीहरूका जिब्राले छलपुर्वक बोल्छन् ।
4 None sueth in righteousness, and none pleadeth in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
कसैले पनि धार्मिकतामा पुकारा गर्दैन र कसैले पनि आफ्नो मुद्दाको निम्ति सत्यतामा बिन्ति गर्दैन । तिनीहरू रित्ता शब्दहरूमा भर पर्छन् र झुट बोल्छन् । तिनीहरूले कष्ट गर्भधारण गर्छन् र पाप जन्माउँछन् ।
5 They hatch basilisks’ eggs, and weave the spider’s web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.
तिनीहरूले विषालु सर्पको अण्डा ओथर्छन् र माकुराको जालो बुन्छन् । तिनीहरूका अण्डा जसले खान्छ त्यो मर्छ र एउटा अण्डा फुटाइयो भने, त्यसबाट विषलु सर्प निस्कन्छ ।
6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
तिनीहरूका जालोहरू लुगाको निम्ति प्रयोग गर्न सकिंदैन, न त तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कामहरूले आफूलाई ढाक्न सक्छन् । तिनीहरूका कामहरू पापका कामहरू हुन् र तिनीहरूका हातहरूमा हिंसाका कामहरू छन् ।
7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation ard destruction are in their paths.
तिनीहरूका पाउहरू दुष्टतातिर हतारिन्छ र तिनीहरू नोर्दोष रगत बगाउन दौडिन्छन् । तिनीहरूका विचारहरू पापका विचारहरू हुन् । हिंसा र विनाश तिनीहरूका बाटोहरू हुन् ।
8 The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whosoever goeth therein doth not know peace.
शान्तिको बाटो तिनीहरूले जान्दैनन् र तिनीहरूका बाटोहरूमा न्याय हुँदैन । तिनीहरूले बाङ्गा बाटोहरू बनाएका छन् । यी बाटोहरूमा यात्रा गर्नेहरूले शान्ति जान्दैनन् ।
9 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth righteousness overtake us: we look for light, but behold darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity.
यसकारण न्याय हामीबाट टाढा छ, न त धार्मिकता हामीकहाँ आइपुग्छ । हामी ज्योतिको आशा गर्छौं, तर अन्धकार देख्छौं । हामी उज्यालोको प्रतिक्षा गर्छौं, तर हामी अन्धकारमा हिंड्छौं ।
10 We grope for the wall like the blind, yea, we grope as they that have no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; among them that are lusty we are as dead men.
अन्धाले झैं र देख्न नसक्नेहरूले झैं हामी भित्ता छाम्छौं । हामी मध्यदिनमा नै साँझमा झैं ठेस खान्छौं । बलियोहरूका माझमा हामी मरेका मानिसझैं छौं।
11 We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
हामी भालुझैं कराउँछौं र ढुकुरझैं विलाप गर्छौं । हामी न्यायको आशा गर्छौं, तर त्यहाँ छैन । छुटकाराको खोज्छौं, तर त्यो हामीबाट टाढा छ ।
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us, and as for our iniquities, we know them:
किनकि हाम्रा धेरै अपराधहरू तपाईंका सामु छन् र हाम्रा पापहरूले हाम्रा विरुद्धमा गवाही दिन्छन् । किनकि हाम्रा अपराधहरू हामीसँग छन् र हामी आफ्ना पापहरू जान्दछौं।
13 in transgressing and denying the LORD, and turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
परमप्रभुलाई इन्कार गरेर र हाम्रा परमेश्वरको अनुसरण गर्न छाडेर हामीले विद्रोह गरेका छौं । हामीले झुट बोलेका छौं, अनि तर्किएर हृदय र झुटका शब्दहरूबाट गनगन गरेका छौं ।
14 And judgment is turned away backward, and righteousness standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and uprightness cannot enter.
न्याय हटाइएको छ र धार्मिका टाढै खडा हुन्छ । किनकि सत्यता खुल्ला ठाउँ ठेस खान्छ र ठिक कुरा आउन सक्दैन ।
15 Yea, truth is lacking; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
भरोसा हराएको छ, र जो दुष्टताबाट फर्किन्छ उसले आफूलाई शिकार बनाउँछ । परमप्रभुले यो देख्नुभयो र त्यहाँ न्याय नदेखेर अप्रशन्न हुनुभयो ।
16 And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his own arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it upheld him.
त्यहाँ उहाँले कुनै मानिसलाई देख्नुभएन र मध्यस्थ गर्ने कोही नभएकोमा उहाँ छक्क पर्नुभयो । यसकारण उहाँको आफ्नै बहुलीले उसको उद्धार गर्यो र उहाँको धार्मिकताले उसलाई सम्भाल्यो ।
17 And he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke.
उहाँले धार्मिकतालाई छातीपाताको रूपमा र आफ्नो शिरमा मुक्तिको टोप लगाउनुभयो । उहाँले आफूलाई बदलाको पोशाल पहिरनुभयो र जोशलाई आवरणको रूपमा लगाउनुभयो ।
18 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.
आफ्ना विरोधीहरूलाई क्रोधको इन्साफले, आफ्ना शत्रुहरूलाई बदलाले, टापुहरूलाई तिनीहरूका इनामको रूपमा दण्डले, तिनीहरूले जे गरेका थिए, त्यसको प्रतिफल उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभयो ।
19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun: for he shall come as a rushing stream, which the breath of the LORD driveth.
त्यसैले तिनीहरूले पश्चिमदेखि परमप्रभुको नाउँको भय मान्नेछन् र सूर्योदयदेखि उहाँको महिमा देख्नेछन् । किनकि परमप्रभुको सासले डोर्याएर उहाँ उर्लंदो नदीझैं आउनुहुनेछ ।
20 And a redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
“सियोनमा र याकूबका विद्रोही कामहरूबाट फर्कनेहरूकहाँ— एक जना उद्धारक आउनुहुने छ— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
21 And as for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD: my spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.
परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ— मेरो निम्ति, तिनीहरूसँग यो मेरो करार हो । मेरो आत्मा तँमाथि छ, र मेरो वचन मैले तेरो मुखमा राखेको छु, त्यो तेरो मुखबाट जानेछैन वा तेरा छोराछोरीका मुखबाट जानेछैन, अहिलेदेखि सदासर्वदासम्मै—परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ ।
