< Isaiah 25 >
1 O Yahweh! my God, thou art, I will exalt thee, I will praise thy Name, For thou hast done a wonderful thing, —Purposes of long ago Faithfulness in truth.
हे परमप्रभु, तपाईं मेरो परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईंलाई म उच्च पार्नेछु, तपाईंको नाउँको म प्रशंसा गर्नेछु । किनकि धेरै अघि योजना बनाइएका कुराहरू, सुन्दर कुराहरू तपाईंले पुर्ण विश्वस्ततासाथ गर्नुभएको छ ।
2 For thou hast made, of a citadel, a mound, of a defenced city, a ruin, —palaces for foreigners to be no city, To times age-abiding, shall it not be built.
किन तपाईंले सहरलाई एउटा थुप्रो, किल्लाबन्दी गरेको सहरलाई भग्नावशेष र परदेशीहरूका किल्ला भएको सहरलाई नाश गर्नुभएको छ ।
3 For this cause! shall glorify thee—a strong people, the city of tyrannous nations shall revere thee;
यसकारण बलिया मानिसहरूले तपाईंको महिमा गर्नेछन् । निर्दयी सहरका जातिहरूले तपाईंको डर मान्नेछन् ।
4 For thou didst become A refuge to the weak. A refuge to the needy, when distress was upon him, —A shelter from the storm. A shade from the heat, When the blast of tyrants was like a storm against a wall.
किनकि गरीबको निम्ति तपाईं सुरक्षाको ठाउँ, खाँचोमा परेकाको निम्ति शरणस्थान— हुरीबाट बच्ने घर र तापबाट बच्ने छहारी हुनुभएको छ । जब निर्दयीहरूको सास पर्खालविरुद्ध आँधीजस्तै थियो,
5 As heat in a desert, the pomp of foreigners, wilt thou subdue, —Heat—with the shade of a cloud, The song of tyrants! become low.
र सुख्खा जमिनको ताप जस्तो थियो, तपाईंले विदेशीहरूका आवाजलाई निस्तेज गर्नुभयो, जसरी तापलाई बादलको छायाले निस्तेज पार्छ, त्यसरी नै निर्दयीको गीतको जवाफ दिइन्छ ।
6 Then will Yahweh of hosts prepare for all the peoples in this mountain, A banquet of fat things, A banquet of old wines, —Of fat things full of marrow, Of old wines well refined;
यस पर्वतमाथि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले सबै मानिसहरूका निम्ति मोटा-मोटा थोकहरू, उत्तम मद्यहरू, स्वदिष्ट मासु र मिठो मद्यको भोज तयार पार्नुहुनेछ ।
7 And he will swallow up in this mountain, The mask of the veil, the veil that is upon all the peoples, —And the web that is woven over all the nations.
उहाँले मानिसहरूमाथिका छकनीहरू, सबै जातिहरूमाथि बुनिएका जालोहरू यही पर्वतमाथि नाश गर्नुहुनेछ ।
8 Having swallowed up death itself victoriously, My Lord, Yahweh, will wipe away, tears from off all faces, —And the reproach of his own people, will he remove from off all the earth, For, Yahweh, hath spoken.
उहाँले मृत्युलाई सदाको निम्ति निल्नुहुनेछ, र परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले सबैको मुहारको आँसु पुछ्नुहुनेछ । उहाँले आफ्ना मानिसहरूको अपमानलाई सबै पृथ्वीबाट हटाउनुहुनेछ, किनकि यो परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएको छ ।
9 So shall it be said, in that day, Lo! our God, is this! We waited for him, that he might save us, —This, is Yahweh! We waited for him, Let us exult and rejoice in his salvation.
त्यस दिन यसो भनिनेछ, “हेर, उहाँ नै हाम्रो परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ । हामीले उहाँको प्रतिक्षा गरेका छौं र उहाँले हामीलाई बचाउनुहुनेछ । उहाँ परमप्रभु हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँको उद्धारमा हामी खुसी हुनेछौं र आनन्द मनाउनेछौं ।
10 For the hand of Yahweh will settle down in this mountain, —Then shall Moab be trodden down in its place, Like the treading down of a strawheap in the water of a dunghill;
किनकि यो पर्वतमा परमप्रभुको हातले विश्रमा लिनेछ, अनि गोबरले भरिएको खाल्डोमा पराललाई कुल्चेझैं मोआबलाई त्यसकै ठाउँमा कुल्चिइनेछ
11 Should he spread forth his hands in the midst thereof, As a swimmer spreadeth forth to swim, Then would be laid low his pride, together with the devices of his hands.
पौडी खेल्नेले पौडनलाई आफ्नो हात फैलाएझैं तिनीहरूले त्यसको माझमा आफ्ना हातहरू फैलाउनेछन् । तर तिनीहरूका हातहरूका सीपहरूको बाबजुत पनि परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूका घमण्डलाई तल झार्नुहुनेछ ।
12 Yea, the lofty stronghold of thy walls, Hath he brought down—Laid low—Levelled to the ground even unto the dust.
तेरा किल्लाहरूका अग्ला पर्खालहरूलाई उहाँले तल जमिनमा माटोमा ढाल्नुहुनेछ ।
