Isaiah 9
1 But there shall be no gloom to her that was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time hath he made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
जो वेदनमा थियो, उसबाट नैराश्यता दूर गरिनेछ । जबूलूनको देश र नप्तालीको देशलाई, पहिलेको समयमा उहाँले होच्याउनुभयो, तर पछिल्लो समयमा उहाँले त्यसको समुद्र जाने बाटोमा, यर्दनपारि जातिहरूका गलीलमा त्यसलाई महिमित पार्नुहुनेछ ।
2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
अन्धकारमा हिंड्ने मानिसहरूले एउटा ठुलो ज्योति देखेका छन् । मृत्युको छायाको देशमा बसेकाहरू, तिनीहरूमाथि ज्योति चम्केको छ ।
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, thou hast increased their joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
तपाईंले जातिहरूलाई वृद्धि गर्नुभएको छ । तपाईंले तिनीहरूका आनन्दलाई वृद्धि गर्नुभएको छ । कटनीको समयमा झैं तिनीहरू तपाईंको सामु आनन्दित हुन्छन्, जसरी मानिसहरूले लूटको माल बाँड्दा तिनीहरू आनन्दित हुन्छन् ।
4 For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, thou hast broken as in the day of Midian.
किनकि त्यसको भरी जुवा, त्यसको पिठ्युको नाल, त्यसको अत्याचारीको लट्ठीलाई तपाईंले मिद्यानको समयमा झैं चकनाचूर पार्नुभएको छ ।
5 For all the armour of the armed man in the tumult, and the garments rolled in blood, shall even be for burning, for fuel of fire.
दुश्मन सिपाहीका हरेक जुत्ता र रगतमा मुछिएको पोशाकलाई जलाइनेछ र आगोको निम्ति इन्धन हुनेछ ।
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
किनकि हाम्रा निम्ति एउटा बालकको जन्म भएको छ, हाम्रो निम्ति एउटा छोरा जन्मेको छ, र शासन उहाँको काँधमा हुनेछ । अनि उहाँको नाउँ अचम्मको सल्लाकार, शक्तिशाली परमेश्वर, अनन्तका पिता र शान्तिका राजकुमार राखिनेछ ।
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with judgment and with righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts shall perform this.
दाऊदको सिंहासनमा र उनको राज्यलाई स्थापित गर्न, अनि त्यसलाई न्याय र धार्मिकताले थाम्न उहाँले अहिलेदेखि लिएर सदासर्वदा राज्य गर्नुहुँदा, उहाँको शासन र शान्ति वृद्धिको अन्त हुनेछैन । सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको जोशले यो पुरा गर्नेछ ।
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
परमप्रभुले याकूबको विरुद्धमा वचन पठाउनुभयो र यो इस्राएलमा पर्यो ।
9 And all the people shall know, [even] Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and in stoutness of heart,
सबै मानिसहरूले जान्नेछन्, घमण्डसाथ र अहङ्कारी हृदयले भन्ने एफ्राइम र सामरियाले पनि जान्नेछन्,
10 The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stone: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
“इँटहरू खसेका छन्, तर कुँदेका ढुङ्गाहरूले नै हामी पुनःनिर्माण गर्नेछौं । अञ्जीरका रूखहरू काटिएका छन्, तर तिनका ठाउँमा हामी देवदारुका रूखहरू रोप्नेछौं ।”
11 Therefore the LORD shall set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and shall stir up his enemies;
यसकारण परमप्रभुले उसको शत्रु रसीनलाई उसको विरुद्धमा खडा हुनुहुनेछ र उसका शत्रुहरूलाई,
12 the Syrians before, and the Philistines behind, and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
पुर्वका अरामीहरू र पश्चिमका पलिश्तीहरू उक्साउनुहुनेछ । तिनीहरूले खुल्ला मुखले इस्राएललाई निल्नेछन् । यी सबै कुराले उहाँको रिस मर्दैन । बरु, उहाँको हात अझै पसारिएकै छ ।
13 Yet the people hath not turned unto him that smote them, neither have they sought the LORD of hosts.
तापनि उहाँले प्रहार गरेका मानिसहरू उहाँतिर फर्कंदैनन्, न त तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको खोजी गर्नेछन् ।
14 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch and rush, in one day.
यसकारण परमप्रभुले इस्राएलबाट टाउको र पुच्छर, खजूरको हाँगा र नर्कट एकै दिनमा नष्ट पार्नुहुनेछ ।
15 The ancient and the honourable man, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
अगुवाहरू र भद्र मानिसहरू मुखिया हुन् । झुटो सिकाउने अगमवक्ता पुच्छर हो ।
16 For they that lead this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
यी मानिसहरूलाई डोर्याउनेहरूले तिनीहरूलाई पथभ्रष्ट पार्छन् र तिनीहरूद्वारा डोर्याइनेहरू निलिन्छन् ।
17 Therefore the Lord shall not rejoice over their young men, neither shall he have compassion on their fatherless and widows: for every one is profane and an evil-doer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
यसकारण परमप्रभु तिनीहरूका जवानहरूसित आनन्दित हुनुहुन्न, न त उहाँले तिनीहरूका अनाथ र विधवाहरूमाथि दया गर्नुहुनेछ, किनकि हरेक व्यक्ति अधर्मी र दुष्ट छन्, अनि हरेक मुखले मूर्ख कुराहरू गर्छन् । यी सबै कुराहरूमा उहाँको रिस मर्दैन । बरु, उहाँको हात अझै पसारिएकै छ ।
18 For wickedness burneth as the fire; it devoureth the briers and thorns: yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in thick clouds of smoke.
दुष्टता आगोझैं बल्छ । त्यसले सिउँडी र काँढालाई भष्म पार्छ । यसले जङ्गलको झाडीलाई पनि जलाउँछ, जसले धूँवाको मुस्लोमा उठ्नेछ ।
19 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land burnt up: the people also are as the fuel of fire; no man spareth his brother.
सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको क्रोधले देश जलेको छ र मानिसहरू आगोको निम्ति इन्धनजस्तै छन् । कुनै मानिसले आफ्नो भाइलाई छोड्दैन ।
20 And one shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
तिनीहरूल दाहिने हातमा खानेकुरा समात्छन् तर तिनीहरू अझै भोको नै हुन्छन् । तिनीहरूले देब्रे हातमा खाना खानेछन्, तर अझै तृप्त हुनेछैनन् । प्रत्येकले आफ्नै बाहुलीको मासु पनि खानेछ ।
21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
मनश्शेले एफ्राइमलाई, अनि एफ्राइमले मनश्शेलाई भस्म गर्नेछ । तिनीहरू एकसाथ यहूदालाई आक्रमण गर्नेछन् । यी कुराहरूमा, उहाँको रिस मर्दैन । बरु, उहाँको हात अझै पसारिएकै छ ।
