Isaiah 23
1 [I received] this message [from Yahweh] about Tyre [city]: You [sailors on] [APO] ships from Tarshish, weep, because [the harbor of] Tyre and all the houses [in the city] have been destroyed. The reports that you heard in Cyprus [island] about Tyre [are true].
टुरोसको बारेमा एउटा घोषणाः ए तर्शीशका पानी जहाजहरू हो कराओ । किनकि त्यहाँ न घर छ न बन्दरगाह नै छ । साइप्रसको देशबाट यो कुरा तिनीहरूलाई प्रकट गरिएको छ ।
2 You people who live along the coast [near Tyre], and merchants of Sidon [city], mourn silently. Your sailors went across the seas [to many places like Tyre].
ए समुद्री तटका बासिन्दाहरू हो, मौन बस । समुद्रमा यात्रा गर्ने सीदोनका व्यापारीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई भरिदिएका छन् ।
3 They sailed across deep seas to buy grain in Egypt and [other] crops that are grown along the Nile [River]. Tyre became the city where people from [all] nations bought and sold goods.
ठुला पानीमाथि सिहोरको अन्न थियो, नील नदीको उत्पादन त्यसको उब्जनी थियो । अनि त्यो जातिहरूको व्यापार भयो ।
4 But now you people in Sidon should be ashamed, because [you trusted in Tyre], which has been a strong fortress [on an island] in the sea. [Tyre is like a woman who is saying], “[Now it is as though] I have not given birth to [any] children, or raised [any] sons or daughters.”
ए सीदोन, लज्जित हो, किनकि समुद्रले, समुद्रको शक्तिशालीले बोलेको छ । त्यसले भन्छ, “म प्रसव वेदनामा परेको छैन, न बालक जन्माएको छु, न मैले छोराहरू हुर्काएको छु, न छोरीहरू हुर्काएको छु ।”
5 When [the people of] Egypt hear what has happened to Tyre, they will grieve very much.
मिश्रदेशमा खबर आउँदा, टुरोसको विषयमा तिनीहरूले शोक गर्नेछन् ।
6 Sail to Tarshish [and tell them what happened]; weep, you people who live along the coast.
तर्शीशपारि जाओ । ए समुद्र तटका बासिन्दाहरू हो, तिमीहरू विलाप गर ।
7 [The people in] the very old city [of Tyre] were [RHQ] previously joyful. Traders [PRS] from Tyre established colonies in many distant nations.
ए आनन्दित सहर, के तँलाई यस्तो भएको छ, जसको उत्पत्ति प्राचीन समयमा नै भएको छ, जसका खुट्टाले त्यसलाई बसोबास गर्न विदेशी भूमिमा पुर्याएको छ?
8 People from Tyre appointed kings [over other places]; their traders were wealthy; they were [as powerful and wealthy as] [MET] kings. [So], who [RHQ] caused the people of Tyre to experience this disaster?
मुकुटहरू दिने टुरोसको विरुद्धमा यो योजना कसले बनाएको हो, जसका व्यापारीहरू शासकहरू छन्, जसका व्यापारीहरू पृथ्वीमा नै आदरणिय छन्?
9 It was the Commander of the armies of angels who did it; he did it in order to cause [you people in] Tyre not to be proud any more, to humiliate you men who are honored all over the world.
त्यसका घमण्ड र त्यसका सबै गौरवलाई अपमान गर्न, त्यसका पृथ्वीकै आदरणियलाई लज्जित पार्न सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले नै यो योजना बनाउनुभएको हो ।
10 You people of Tarshish, you must grow crops in your land [instead of trading]; spread out over your land like [SIM] the Nile [River] spreads over the land [of Egypt] when it floods, because there is no harbor [in Tyre for your ships] now.
ए तर्शीशकी छोरी हो, नील नदीलाई जोतेझैं आफ्नो खेत जोत् । टुरोसमा अब फेरि बजार-क्षेत्र छैन ।
11 [It is as though] Yahweh stretched out his hand over the sea and shook the kingdoms of the earth. He commanded that in Phoenicia/Canaan all its fortresses must be destroyed.
परमप्रभुले समुद्रमाथि आफ्नो हात पसार्नुभएको छ र उहाँले राज्यहरूलाई हल्लाउनुभएको छ । फोनिकेको विषयमा त्यसका किल्लाहरूलाई नाश गर्ने आज्ञा उहाँले दिनुभएको छ ।
12 He said to the people of Sidon, “You will never rejoice again, because you will be crushed; even if you flee to Cyprus [island], you will not escape destruction.”
उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “ए सीदोनकी अत्याचारमा परेकी कन्या छोरी, तैले फेरि आनन्द मनाउने छैनस् । उठ्, साइप्रसमा पारि जा । तर तैंले त्यहाँ पनि विश्राम पाउनेछैनस् ।”
13 Think about what happened in Babylonia: the people who were in that land have disappeared. [The armies of] Assyria have caused that land to become a place where wild animals from the desert live. The Assyrians built dirt ramps to the top of the walls [of the city of Babylon]; [then they entered the city and] tore down the palaces and caused the city to become [a heap of] rubble.
कल्दीहरूको देशलाई हेर् । यी मानिहरू समाप्त भएका छन् । अश्शूरीहरूले त्यसलाई जङ्गली जनावरहरूको निम्ति उजाड-स्थान बनाएका छन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना घेरा-मचान खडा गरेका छन् । तिनीहरूले त्यसका दरबारहरू नष्ट गरे । तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई भग्नावशेषको थुप्रो बनाए ।
14 [So] wail, you [sailors on the] ships of Tarshish, because the harbor [in Tyre where your ships stop] is destroyed!
ए तर्शीशका पानी जहाजहरू हो, कराओ । किनकि तिमीहरूका शरणस्थान विनाश गरिएको छ ।
15 For seventy years, which is as long as kings usually live, people will forget about Tyre. [But then it will be rebuilt]. What will happen there will be like what happened to a prostitute in this song:
त्यो दिनमा, राजाका समयमा झैं टुरोसलाई सत्तरी वर्षसम्म बिर्सिइनेछ । सत्तरी वर्षको अन्तमा टुरोसमा वेश्यको गीतमा जस्तै कुनै कुरा हुनेछ ।
16 “You harlot, whom people had forgotten, play your harp well, and sing many songs, in order that people will remember you again.”
ए बिर्सिएकी वेश्या, एउटा वीणा लि र सहरमा जा । त्यो राम्ररी बजा, धेरै गीतहरू गा, ताकि तेरो सम्झना गरिनेछ ।
17 [It is true that] after seventy years Yahweh will restore Tyre. Their merchants will again earn a lot of money by buying things from and selling things to many [other] nations [HYP].
सत्तरी वर्षपछि त्यो दिन यस्तो हुनेछ, परमप्रभुले टुरोसलाई सहायता गर्नुहुनेछ र त्यसले फेरि वेश्यवृत्ति गरेर पैसा कमाउन सुरु गर्नेछे, र त्यसले आफ्ना सेवाहरू पृथ्वीका सबै राज्यहरूलाई दिनेछे ।
18 [But] their profits will be given to Yahweh. [The merchants] will not hoard their money; instead, they will give it to Yahweh’s priests in order that they [can] buy food and nice clothes.
त्यसका नाफाहरू र कमाइहरू परमप्रभुको निम्ति अलग गरिनेछ । ती भण्डारमा राखिने वा कोषमा जम्मा गरिने छैन, किनकि त्यसका नाफाहरू पमप्रभुको उपस्थितिमा बस्नेहरूलाई दिइनेछ र तिनीहरूलाई प्रशस्त खाना आपुर्ती गर्न प्रयोग गरिनेछ, र यसरी तिनीहरूसँग उत्तम गुणस्तर लुगा हुनेछ ।
