Isaiah 49
1 Hearken, ye Coastlands, unto me, And give ear ye peoples afar off, —Yahweh, called me, from my birth, From my nativity, made he mention of my name;
ए समुद्र किनारमा बस्नेहरू हो, मेरो कुरा सुन! ए टाढाका मानिसहरू हो, मेरो कुरामा ध्यान देओ । मेरो आमाले मलाई संसारमा ल्याउनुहुँदा नै परमप्रभुले मलाई मेरो नाउँ काढेर बोलाउनुभएको छ ।
2 And he made my mouth, like a sharp sword, In the shadow of his hand, he concealed me, —And made of me a polished arrow, In his quiver, he hid me;
उहाँले मेरो मुखलाई धारिलो तरवारजस्तो बनाउनुभएको छ । उहाँले मलाई आफ्नो हातको छायामा लुकाउनुभएको छ । उहाँले मलाई टल्काएको काँड बनाउनुभएको छ । उहाँले मलाई आफ्नो ठोक्रोमा लुकाउनुभएको छ ।
3 And said to me My Servant, thou art, —Israel, in whom I will get myself glory.
उहाँले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “ए इस्राएल, तँ मेरो सेवक होस्, जसद्वारा म आफ्नो महिमा देखाउँछु ।”
4 But I, said, To no purpose, have I toiled, For waste and mist—my vigour, have I spent, —Surely, my vindication, is, with, Yahweh, And, my recompence, with my God.
तर मैले जवाफ दिएँ, “मैले व्यार्थमा परिश्रम गरेको छु, मैले बेकाममा मेरो शक्ति खर्च गरेको छु भनी सोचें, तापनि मेरो न्याय परमप्रभुसित नै छ र मेरो इनाम मेरो परमेश्वरसँग छ ।”
5 Now, therefore, said Yahweh—Fashioning me from birth To be Servant to him, To restore Jacob unto him, And that, Israel, unto him, might be gathered And I be honourable in the eyes of Yahweh, And, my God, be proved to have been my strength,
अब परमप्रभु बोल्नुभएको छ—उहाँ नै हुनुहुन्छ जसले उहाँको सेवक हुन, याकूबलाई उहाँमा पुनर्स्थापन गर्न मलाई जन्मैदेखि बनाउनुभयो, ताकि इस्राएललाई उहाँमा जम्मा गर्न सकियोस्, किनकि परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा मेरो इज्जत भएको छ र मेरो परमेश्वर नै मेरो बल हुनुभएको छ—
6 Yea he said—It is too small a thing, for being my Servant, That thou shouldest raise up the tribes of Jacob, And the preserved of Israel, shouldst restore, —So I will give thee to become a light of nations, That, my salvation, may reach as far as the end of the earth.
अनि उहाँ भन्नुहुन्छ, “याकूबको कुललाई पुनःस्थापित गर्न र इस्राएलका बचेकाहरूलाई पुनर्स्थापन गर्न मेरो सेवक हुनु तेरो निम्ति अति सानो कुरा हो । म तँलाई अरू जातिहरूका निम्ति ज्योति बनाउनेछु, ताकि पृथ्वीको अन्तिम छेउसम्म तँ नै मेरो उद्धार हुन सक्छस् ।”
7 Thus, saith Yahweh—the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One To him that is despised of the soul, To the abhorred of the nation To the servant of rulers, Kings, shall see and arise, Princes, lo! they have bowed themselves down, —Because of Yahweh, who is faithful, The Holy One of Israel, lo! he hath chosen thee.
जातिहरूले तुच्छ ठानेका, घृणा गरेका र शासकहरूका सेवकलाई इस्राएलको उद्धारक, तिनीहरूका परमपवित्र परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “विश्वासयोग्य परमप्रभु, इस्राएलका परमपवित्रले तँलाई चुन्नुभएको हुनाले राजाहरूले तँलाई देख्नेछन् र खडा हुनेछन्, अनि राजकुमारहरूले तँलाई देख्नेछन् र घोप्टो पर्नेछन् ।”
8 Thus, saith Yahweh—In a time of acceptance, have I answered thee, In a day of salvation, have I helped thee, —That I may preserve thee And give thee as the covenant of a people, To establish the land, To bring into possession the desolate heritages;
परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “मैले आफ्नो कृपा देखाउन निश्चित गरेको समयमा म तँलाई जवाफ दिनेछु, अनि उद्धारको दिनमा म तँलाई सहायता गर्नेछु । म तेरो सुरक्षा गर्नेछु र देशको पुनःनिर्माण गर्न र उजाड जमिनमा फेरि बस्ती बसाल्न तँलाई मानिसहरूका करारको रूपमा दिनेछु ।
9 Saying To them who are bound Go forth, To them who are in darkness, Shew yourselves, —By the roads, shall they graze, And on all bare places, shall be their pasture:
तैंले कैदीहरूलाई, 'बाहिर आओ,' अँध्यारो कालकोठरीमा हुनेहरूलाई, 'आफूलाई देखाओ' भन्नेछस् । तिनीहरू सडकहरूको छेउतिर चर्नेछन् र सबै उजाड पाखाहरू तिनीहरूका खर्क हुनेछ ।
10 They shall neither hunger, nor thirst, Nor shall smite them the glowing sand, or the glaring sun, —For, he that hath compassion upon them, will lead them, And unto springs of water, will he conduct them.
तिनीहरू तिर्काउने वा भोकाउने छैनन् । न तापले न घामले तिनीहरूलाई पोल्नेछ, किनकि जसले तिनीहरूलाई दया गर्नुहुन्छ, उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई डोर्याउनुहुनेछ । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई पानीको मुहानहरूतिर लानुहुनेछ ।
11 Then will I make of all my mountains, a road, And my highways, shall be upraised.
तब आफ्ना सबै पर्वतलाई सडक र मेरा मुल बाटोहरूलाई समतल बनाउने छु ।”
12 Lo! these, from afar, shall come in, —And lo! these, from the North and from the West, And these, from the land of Sinim.
हेर, यिनीहरू टाढाबाट, कोही उत्तर र पश्चिमबाट आउनेछन् । अनि अरूचाहिं आश्वासनको देशबाट आउनेछन् ।
13 Shout in triumph—O heavens! And exult—O earth! And break forth, ye mountains, into shouts of triumph, —For Yahweh hath comforted his people, And on his humbled ones, taketh he compassion.
ए आकाश गाओ र ए पृथ्वी आनन्दि होओ । ए पर्वतहरू, गीत गाओ! किनकि परमप्रभुले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई सान्त्वना दिनुहुन्छ र उहाँका कष्ठमा परेकाहरूलाई दया गर्नुहुनेछ ।
14 But Zion had said. Yahweh hath forsaken me, —Even, My Lord, hath forgotten me!
तर सियोनले भन्यो, “परमप्रभुले मलाई त्यग्नुभएको छ, र परमप्रभुले मलाई बिर्सनुभएको छ ।”
15 Can, a woman, forget, her sucking child, Past taking compassion on the son of her womb? Even these, may forget, Yet will, I, not forget, thee:
“के स्त्रीले आफ्नो दूध खुवाइरहेको बालकलाई बिर्सन सक्छे, अनि तिनले जन्माएकी बलकलाई दया देखाउँदिनन् र? हो, तिनीहरूले बिर्सन सक्छन्, तर तँलाई म बिर्सनेछैन ।
16 Lo! on the palms of my hands, have I portrayed thee, —Thy walls are before me continually.
हेर, मैले तेरो नाउँ आफ्नो हत्केलामा खोपेको छु । तेरा पर्खालहरू निरन्तर मेरो सामु छन् ।
17 In haste are thy sons, —They who have been tearing thee down and laying thee waste, out of thee, let them go forth!
तेरा छोराछोरी फर्कन हतारिंदैछन्, जबकि तिमीहरूलाई विनाश पार्नेहरू टाढा जाँदैछन् ।
18 Lift up, round about, thine eyes and see, All those, have gathered themselves together—have come to thee! As I live, Declareth Yahweh, —Surely all those as an ornament, shalt thou put on, And bind them about thee for a girdle as a bride.
वरिपरि हेर र देख्, तिनीहरू भेला हुँदैछन् र तँकहाँ आउँदैछन् । जस्तो म जीवित छु— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो— तैंले तिनीहरूलाई गहनाझैं लगाउनेछस् र तैंले तिनीहरूलाई दुलहीले झैं लगाउनेछस् ।
19 Surely, as for thy wastes, and thy desolations, and thy land of ruins, Surely, now, shalt thou be too strait for thine inhabitants, And, far off, shall be they who have been swallowing thee up.
तँ उजाड र निर्जन, भग्नावशेषको देश भए पनि अब बासिन्दाहरूका निम्ति तँ अति सानो हुनेछस् र तँलाई नाश पार्नेहरू टाढा हुनेछन् ।
20 The children of whom thou wast bereaved shall yet say in thine ears, —Too strait for me, is the place Make room for me that I may settle down.
शोकको अवधिमा जन्मेका छोराछोरीले तैंले सुन्ने गरी भन्नेछन्, 'यो ठाउँ हाम्रा निम्ति साँगुरो हुन्छ, ठाउँ तयार पार, ताकि हामी बस्न सकौं ।'
21 Then shalt thou say in thy heart, —Who hath borne me, these, Seeing, I, have been bereaved and unfruitful, a captive and banished? These, therefore, who hath brought them up? Lo! I, was left, alone, These, where were they?
तब तैंले आफैलाई सोध्नेछस्, ' मेरो निम्ति यी छोराछोरी कसले जन्माएको हो? म शोकमा र बाँझी, निर्वासित र त्यागिएकी थिएँ । यी छोराछोरीलाई कसले हुर्कायो? हेर, मलाई एक्लै छोडिएको थियो । यिनीहरू कहाँबाट आए?’”
22 Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh—Lo! I will lift up, unto nations my hand, Yea unto peoples, will I raise high my banner, —And they shall bring in thy sons in their bosom, And, thy daughters, on the shoulder shall be borne;
परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “हेर्, जातिहरूतिर म आफ्नो हात उठाउनेछु । मानिसहरूतिर म आफ्नो संकेतको झन्डा उठाउनेछु । तिनीहरूले तेरा छोराहरूलाई आफ्ना हातमा र तेरी छोरीहरूलाई आफ्ना काँधमा बोकेर ल्याउनेछन् ।
23 And, kings, shall be, thy foster-fathers. And their queens, thy nursing mothers, With face to the ground, shall they bow down to thee, The dust of thy feet, shall they lick, —So shalt thou know that, I, am Yahweh, In that, they shall not be put to shame, Who were waiting for me.
राजहरू तेरा धर्म-बुबाहरू र रानीहरू तेरा धाइ-आमाहरू हुनेछन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना मुहार भुइँमा घोप्टो पारेर तँलाई दण्डवत गर्नेछन् र तेरा खुट्टाका धूलो चाट्नेछन् । अनि म परमप्रभु हुँ भनी तैंले जान्नेछस् । मेरो आशा गर्नेहरू लज्जित हुनेछैनन् ।”
24 Shall prey, be taken from a mighty one? Or the captive of one in the right, be delivered?
के योद्धाहरूबाट लूटको माल लिन सकिन्छ, वा क्रूरबाट कैदीहरूलाई छुट्टाउन सकिन्छ?
25 Surely, thus, saith Yahweh—Even the captive of the mighty one, shall be taken away, And the prey of the tyrant, be delivered; And thine opposers, I, will oppose, And thy children, I, will save;
तर परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “हो, योद्धाहरूबाट कैदीहरूलाई खोसिनेछ र लूटका मालहरू छुट्टाइनेछ । किनकि तेरो विरोधीलाई म विरोध गर्नेछु र तेरा छोराछोरीलाई बचाउनेछु ।
26 Then will I feed thy tormentors with their own flesh, And as with new wine—with their own blood, shall they be drunk, —So shall all flesh, know, that, I—Yahweh, am thy Saviour, And, thy Redeemer, is the Mighty One of Jacob.
तेरा अत्याचारीहरूलाई तिनीहरूका आफ्नै मासु खुवाउनेछु । अनि तिनीहरू आफ्नै रगले दाखमद्यले झैं मात्नेछन् । तब म परमप्रभु, तेरो मुक्तिदाता र तेरा उद्धारक, याकूबको शक्तिशाली परमेश्वर हुँ भनी सारा मानवजातिले जान्नेछन् ।”
