Isaiah 31
1 Alas! for them who are going down to Egypt for help, On horses, would rely, —And have trusted—In chariots—because they are many, and In horsemen, because they are very bold, But have not looked unto the Holy One of Israel, And onto Yahweh, have not sought.
सहायताको निम्ति मिश्रदेशमा जाने, घोडाहरूमा भर पर्ने र रथहरूमा (किनकि ती धेरै छन्) र घोडचढीहरूमा (किनकि ती असंख्य छ्न्) भरोसा गर्नेहरूलाई धिक्कार! तर तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका परमपवित्रको वास्ता गर्दैनन्, न तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको खोजी नै गर्छन् ।
2 But, he also, is wise, and hath brought in calamity, And his own words, hath he not set aside, —Therefore will he rise up, Against the house of evil-doers, and Against the help of the workers of iniquity.
तापनि उहाँ बुद्धिमान् हुनुहुन्छ, उहाँले विपत्ति ल्याउनुहुनेछ र आफ्नो वचनबाट उहाँ पछि हट्नुहुनेछैन । उहाँ दुष्ट घराना र पाप गर्न सहायता गर्नेहरूका विरुद्धमा उठ्नुहुनेछ ।
3 Now, the Egyptians, are, men, and not, GOD, And, their horses, flesh, and not, spirit; When, Yahweh, shall stretch out his hand, Then, he that is giving help, shall stumble And, he that is receiving help, shall fall, And, together, shall, all of them, vanish!
मिश्रदेश मानिस हो र परमेश्वर होइन, तिनीहरूका घोडाहरू शरीर हुन् आत्मा होइनन् । जब परमप्रभुले आफ्नो हात पसार्नुहुन्छ, सहायता गर्नेले ठेस खानेछ र सहायता पाउनेचाहिं ढल्नेछ । दुवै एकसाथ नाश हुनेछन् ।
4 For Thus, hath Yahweh said unto me—Like as a lion or a young lion growleth over his prey. Who—though there be called out against him a multitude of shepherds—Will not at their voice, be dismayed, Nor, at their noise, be daunted, So, will Yahweh of hosts come down, to make war over Mount Zion, and over the hill thereof.
परमप्रभुले मलाई यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “गोठालाहरूका समूह आफ्नो विरुद्धमा आउँदा पनि जसरी सिंह अर्थात् जवान सिंह आफ्नो शिकारमाथि गर्जेर झम्टन्छ तर तिनीहरूका सोर सुनेर डराउँदैन, न तिनीहरूका सोर सुनेर भाग्छ, त्यसरी नै सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु सियोन पर्वतमा अर्थात् त्यो पहाडमा लडाइँ गर्न ओर्लनुहुनेछ ।
5 As little mother-birds hovering, so, will Yahweh of hosts throw a covering over Jerusalem, —Covering, so will he rescue, Passing over, so will he deliver!
गुँडको रक्षा गर्ने चराले झैं परमप्रभुले यरूशलेमको रक्षा गर्नुहुनेछ । उहाँ यसबाट भएर जानुहुँदा यसको सुरक्षा गर्नुहुनेछ र छुटकारा दिनुहुनेछ र यसको संरक्षण गर्नुहुनेछ ।
6 Return ye unto him against whom the sons of Israel have deeply revolted,
ए इस्राएलका मानिस हो, तिमीहरू जसबाट तर्किएका थियौ, उहाँतिर नै फर्क ।
7 For in that day, will every man reject his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, —Which your hands had made for you as a sin!
किनकि त्यो दिनमा तिमीहरूका आफ्नै हातले पापपुर्ण किसिमले बनाएका चाँदीका मूर्तीहरू र सुनका मूर्तीहरूबाट प्रत्येक व्यक्ति मुक्त हुनेछ ।
8 Then shall the Assyrian fall, by the sword, not of a great man, And the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him, —Howbeit he shall take his flight from the face of a sword, And his young men, shall come under tribute;
अश्शूर तरवारले ढल्नेछ । मानिसले नचालाएको तरवारद्वारा त्यो नाश हुनेछ । त्यो तरवारबाट भाग्नेछ र त्यसका जवान मानिसहरूलाई सित्तैंका काम गर्न लगाइनेछ ।
9 And his own Cliff, through terror, shall he pass by, And his princes shall be dismayed at an ensign, —Declareth Yahweh. Who hath a flame in Zion, And hath a furnace in Jerusalem.
त्रासको कारणले तिनीहरूले सबै दृढता गुमाउनेछन् र परमप्रभुको युद्धको झन्डा देखेर त्यसका शासकहरू डराउनेछन्— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो— जसको आगो सियोनमा छ र जसको मकल यरूशलेममा छ ।”
