< Isaiah 44 >

1 And therefore listen O Jacob servant my and Israel [whom] I have chosen it.
ए मेरो सेवक, याकूब, ए इस्राएल जसलाई मैले चुनेको छु, अब सुन्:
2 Thus he says Yahweh [who] made you and [who] formed you from [the] womb he will help you may not you be afraid O servant my Jacob and Jeshurun [whom] I have chosen it.
परमप्रभु जसले तँलाई गर्भमा बनाउनुभयो र आकार दिनुभयो, अनि जसले तँलाई सहायता गर्नुहुनेछः उहाँले यसको भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “ए याकूब, मेरो सेवक, नडरा । अनि ए यशूरून, जसलाई मैले चुनेको छु ।
3 For I will pour out water on thirsty [ground] and streams on dry ground I will pour out spirit my on offspring your and blessing my on descendants your.
किन सुकेको जमिनमाथि म पानी खन्याउनेछु र सुख्खा जमिनमाथि खोलाहरू बगाउनेछु । तेरो सन्तानमाथि मेरो आत्मा र तेरा छोराछोरीमाथि मेरो आशिष् म खन्याउनेछु ।
4 And they will spring up in between grass like poplars at watercourses of water.
तिनीहरू घाँसहरू माझमा पानीको नदीको किनारको लहरे-पिपलहरू झैं उम्रनेछन् ।
5 This one he will say [belong] to Yahweh I and this one he will call out with [the] name of Jacob and this one he will write hand his [belongs] to Yahweh and with [the] name of Israel he will name.
कसैले भन्‍नेछ, “म परमप्रभुको हुँ,' अनि अर्कोले याकूबको नाउँ लिनेछ, र अर्कोले आफ्नो हातमा 'म परमप्रभुको हुँ,' भनी लेख्‍नेछ र आफैलाई इस्राएलको नाउँ दिनेछ ।”
6 Thus he says Yahweh [the] king of Israel and redeemer its Yahweh of hosts I [am] first and I [am] last and except me there not [is] a god.
इस्राएलका राजा, त्यसको उद्धारक, सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “म नै पहिलो हुँ र म नै अन्तिम हुँ । र मबाहेक अरू कुनै परमेश्‍वर छैन ।
7 And who? [is] like me let him proclaim [it] and let him declare it and let him recount in order it to me from when established I a people of antiquity and [the] coming [things] and [the things] which they will come let them declare to them.
मजस्तो को छ? आफ्‍ना प्राचीन मानिसहरूलाई मैले स्थापित गरेदेखि भएका घटनाहरू त्यसले मलाई घोषणा गरोस् र त्‍यो वर्णन गरोस्, अनि तिनीहरूले हुन आउने घटनाहरूका बारेमा घोषणा गरून् ।
8 May not you be in dread and may not you fear ¿ not from then did I proclaim to you and did I declare and you [are] witnesses my ¿ [is] there a god except me and there not [is] a rock not I know.
नडरा अर्थात् भयभित हो । के मैले धेरै पहिले नै यो तँलाई घोषणा गरेको र सुचना दिएको होइन र? तिमीहरू मेरा गवाहीहरू हौः “के मबाहेक अरू कुनै परमेश्‍वर छ र? त्‍यहाँ अरू कुनै चट्टान छैन । म यस्ता कुनैलाई चिन्दिनँ ।”
9 [those who] form an idol All of them [are] nothingness and desired [things] their not they confer profit and witnesses their they not they see and not they know so that they may be ashamed.
मूर्तीहरू बनाउने सबै जना केही पनि होइनन् । तिनीहरू प्रशन्‍न हुने थोकहरू व्‍यर्थ हुन् । तिनीहरूका गवाहीहरूले कुनै कुरा पनि देख्‍न वा जान्‍न सक्दैनन् र तिनीहरू लजमा पारिनेछन् ।
10 Who? has he formed a god and an idol has he cast? to not to confer profit.
कसले देवतालाई आकार दिन्‍छ वा व्यार्थको मूर्ती खोप्छ?
11 There! all companions his they will be ashamed and craftsmen they [are] from humankind let them gather together all of them let them stand up let them be in dread let them be ashamed altogether.
हेर, त्यसका सबै सहकर्मी लाजमा पारिनेछन् । कारीगरहरू मानिसहरू मात्र हुन् । तिनीहरूले एकसाथ आफ्ना अडान लेऊन् । तिनीहरू तर्सिनेछन् र लजज्‍जित हुनेछन् ।
12 A craftsman of iron a tool and he works [it] on the coal[s] and with hammers he forms it and he worked it with [the] arm of strength his also he is hungry and there not [is] strength not he drinks water and he grew weary.
सुनारले आफ्‍ना औजारहरूले भुङ्ग्रोमा काम गरेर त्‍यो बनाउँछ । उसले त्‍यसलाई घनले आकार दिन्छ र आफ्‍नो बलियो पाखुराले त्‍यसको काम गर्छ । ऊ भोकाउँछ र उसको बल घट्छ । उसले पानी पिउँदैन र मुर्छा पर्छ ।
13 A craftsman of wood he stretches out a measuring-line he outlines it with marker he works it with scraping tools and with compass he outlines it and he made it like [the] form of a man like [the] beauty of a man to dwell a house.
सिकर्मीले काठलाई धागोले नाप्छ र कलमले त्‍यसमा चिन्ह लगाउँछ । उसले आफ्‍ना औजारहरूले त्‍यसलाई आकार दिन्छ र कम्‍पासले त्‍यसमा चिनो लगाउँछ । उसले त्‍यसलाई आकर्षक मानिसजस्‍तै मानिसको आकारमा बनाउँछ, ताकि त्‍यो घरमा नै रहोस् ।
14 To cut down for himself cedars and he took a cypress and an oak and he strengthened [it] for himself among [the] trees of [the] forest he plants laurel and rain it makes [it] grow.
उसले देवदारु काट्छ, वा सल्लाको रूख वा फलाँटको रूख छान्छ । उसले आफ्नो निम्ति वनका रूखहरू छान्‍छ । उसले सल्लाको रूख लगाउँछ र पानीले त्‍यसलाई बढाउँछ ।
15 And it belongs to anyone to burn and he took some of them and he became warm also he kindles a fire and he bakes bread also he makes a god and he bowed down he makes it an idol and he prostrated himself to it.
अनि मानिसले त्‍यसलाई दाउरा बाल्न र आफूलाई न्यानो पार्न प्रयोग गर्छ । हो, उसले आगो बाल्छ र रोटी पकाउँछ । त्‍यसपछि उसले त्‍यसबाट एउटा देउता बनाउँछ र त्‍यसमा घोप्टो पर्छ । उसले एउटा मूर्ती बनाउँछ र त्‍यसमा घोप्टो पर्छ ।
16 Half of it he burns in a fire over half of it meat he eats he roasts roasted meat so he may be satisfied also he is warm and he may say aha! I am warm I see a fire.
आफूले खाने मासु पकाउँछ त्‍यो रूखका केही भागलाई उसले दाउरा बाल्‍छ । उसले खान्छ र तृप्‍त हुन्‍छ । उसले आफैलाई न्यानो बनाउँछ र भन्छ, “ओहो, म तातो भएको छु, मैले आगो देखेको छु ।”
17 And [the] remainder of it a god he makes idol his (he prostrates himself *Q(k)*) to it so he may bow down and he may pray to it so he may say deliver me for [are] god my you.
बाँकी रहेको काठले उसले एउटा देउता अर्थात् आफ्‍नो खोपेको मूर्ती बनाउँछ । त्‍यसमा ऊ घोप्टो पर्छ र त्‍यसको आदर गर्छ, र यसो भन्‍दै त्‍यसमा प्रार्थना चढाउँछ, “मलाई बचाउनुहोस्, किनकि तपाईं मेरो ईश्‍वर हुनुहुन्छ ।”
18 Not they know and not they understand for it is besmeared from seeing eyes their from having insight hearts their.
तिनीहरूले जान्दैनन्, न तिनीहरूले बुझ्छन्, किनकि तिनीहरूका आँखा अन्धा छन् र देख्‍न सक्दैनन्, अनि तिनीहरूका हृदयहरूले बुझ्‍न नै सक्दैनन् ।
19 And not he brings to heart his and not knowledge and not understanding to say half of it I burned in a fire and also I baked on coals its bread I roasted meat so I may eat [it] and [the] remainder of it an abomination will I make? to a product of a tree will I prostrate myself?
कसैले विचार गर्दैन, न तिनीहरूले बुझ्छन् र भन्छन्, “मैले रूखका केही भाग दाउरा बालें । हो, त्‍यसको भुङ्‍ग्रोमा मैले रोटी पनि पकाएको छु । त्‍यसको भुङ्‍ग्रोमा मैले मासुको सुकुटी पनि बनाएको र खाएको छु । अब के मैले त्‍यो रूखबाट बचेको अरू भागबाट पुजा गर्न घिन लाग्‍ने कुरा बनाउनू र? के म काठको टुक्रामा घोप्टो पर्नू र?”
20 [he is] feeding Ash[es] a heart [which] it is deceived it has turned aside him and not he will deliver self his and not he will say ¿ not [is] falsehood in right [hand] my.
यो त उसले खरानी खाएको जस्तो भयो । उसको छलमा परेको हृदयले उसलाई बहकाउँछ । उसले आफैलाई बचाउन सक्दैन, न उसले यसो भन्‍छ, “मेरो दाहिने हातमा भएको यो कुरा झुटो देवता हो ।”
21 Remember these [things] O Jacob and O Israel for [are] servant my you I formed you [are] a servant of me you O Israel not you will be forgotten by me.
ए याकूब र इस्राएल, यी कुराहरूका बारेमा विचार गर्, किनकि तँ मेरो सेवक होस्: “मैले तँलाई आकार दिएको हुँ । तँ मेरो सेवक होस्: ए इस्राएल, तँलाई बिर्सिइने छैन ।
22 I have wiped out like dark cloud transgressions your and like cloud sins your return! to me for I have redeemed you.
तेरा विद्रोहका कामहरूलाई एउटा बाक्‍लो बादललाई झैं र तेरा पापहरूलाई एउटा बादललाई झैं मैले हटाएको छु । मकहाँ फर्की, किनकि मैले तँलाई उद्धार गरेको छु ।
23 Shout for joy O heaven for he has acted Yahweh shout in triumph O lower parts of [the] earth break forth O mountains a shout of joy O forest and every tree in it for he has redeemed Yahweh Jacob and by Israel he will get glory for himself.
ए आकाश गाओ, किनकि परमप्रभुले नै यसो गर्नुभएको हो । ए पृथ्वीका गहिराइ हो कराओ । ए पर्वतहरू, वनका सबै रूख हो, गीत गाओ । किनकि परमप्रभुले याकूबलाई उद्धार गर्नुभएको छ र इस्राएलमा आफ्‍नो महिमा प्रकट गर्नुहुनेछ ।
24 Thus he says Yahweh redeemer your and [the one who] formed you from [the] womb I [am] Yahweh [who] made everything [who] stretched out [the] heavens to alone me [who] spread out the earth (from with myself. *Q(K)*)
तँलाई गर्भमा आकार दिनुहुने परमप्रभु तेरा उद्धारक यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः “म परमप्रभु हुँ, जसले हरेक कुरा बनाएँ, जसले आकाशलाई एक्‍लै फैलाएँ, जसले पृथ्वीलाई एक्‍लै बनाएँ ।
25 [who] frustrates [the] signs of Empty talkers and diviners he makes look foolish [who] turns back wise [people] backwards and knowledge their he makes foolish.
हात हेरेर फतफताउनेका खोक्रा कुरालाई व्यार्थ तुल्याउने म नै हुँ र हात हेर्ने कुरा पढ्‍नेलाई घृणा गर्ने म नै हुँ । यस्‍ता बुद्धिमान्‌हरूका बुद्धिलाई उल्टाउने र तिनीहरूका सल्लाहलाई मूर्ख बनाउने म नै हुँ ।
26 [who] establishes [the] word of Servant his and [the] counsel of messengers his he performs who says of Jerusalem it will be inhabited and of [the] cities of Judah they will be rebuilt and ruins its I will raise up.
आफ्ना सेवकका वचनहरू पुरा गर्ने र आफ्ना दूतहरूका भविष्यवाणी पुरा गर्ने परमप्रभु म नै हुँ, जसले यरूशलेमलाई भन्छ, 'त्यसमा बसोवास गरिनेछ,' र यहूदाका नगरहरूका बारेमा भन्छ, 'तिनीहरूलाई फेरि निर्माण गरिनेछ र म तिनका भग्‍नावशेषहरूलाई खडा गर्नेछु ।'
27 Who says to the ocean-deep be dried up and rivers your I will make dry.
जसले गहिरो समुद्रलाई भन्छ, 'सुक् र तेरा धारहरूलाई म सुकाउनेछु ।'
28 Who says of Cyrus shepherd my and all desire my he will perform and to say of Jerusalem let it be rebuilt and [the] temple let it be refounded.
कोरेसलाई यसो भन्‍नुहुने परमप्रभु नै हुनुहुन्‍छ, 'त्यो मेरो गोठालो हो, त्यसले मेरा हेरक इच्छा पुरा गर्नेछ । त्यसले यरूशलेमको बारेमा, 'त्यसलाई पुननिर्माण गरिनेछ,' र मन्दिरको बारेमा, 'यसको जग बसालियोस्' भनेर आदेश दिनेछ ।”
