Isaiah 24
1 Some day, Yahweh is going to destroy everything on the earth. He will devastate it and cause it to become a desert and scatter its people.
हेर्, परमप्रभुले पृथ्वीलाई रित्तो बनाउन, यसलाई विनाश पार्न, यसको सतहलाई बिगार्न र यसका बासिन्दाहरूलाई तितरबितर पार्न लाग्नुभएको छ ।
2 He will scatter everyone— priests and common people, servants and their masters, maids and their mistresses, buyers and sellers, lenders and borrowers, people who owe money and people who are owed money.
यो मानिसहरूलाई झैं पुजारीहरूलाई, नोकरलाई झैं मालिकलाई, दासीलाई झैं मलिक्नीलाई, किन्नेलाई झैं बेच्नेलाई, ऋण दिनेलाई झैं ऋण लिनेलाई, ब्याज लिनेलाई झैं ब्याज दिनेलाई हुनेछ ।
3 Nothing that is worth anything will be left on earth; everything valuable will be destroyed. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it.
पृथ्वीलाई पुर्ण रूपमा विनाश गरिनेछ र पुर्ण रूपमा नाङ्गो बनाइनेछ । किनकि परमप्रभुले यो वचन बोल्नुभएको छ ।
4 [Everything on] the earth will dry up and die [DOU]; its important people will become weak and unimportant.
पृथ्वी सुख्खा हुनेछ र ओइलाउनेछ, संसार सुक्नेछ र ओइलाएर जानेछ। पृथ्वीका विशिष्ट मानिसहरू दुर्बल हुनेछन् ।
5 The earth has become unacceptable to Yahweh because the people who live on it have disobeyed his laws; they have rejected the agreement that he intended to last forever.
पृथ्वीलाई यसका बासिन्दाहरूले दूषित पारेका छन्, किनभने तिनीहरूले व्यवस्था भङ्ग गरेका छन्, नियमहरू तोडेका छन् र अनन्तको करार उलङ्घन गरेका छन् ।
6 Therefore, [Yahweh] will curse the earth; the people who live on it must be punished because of the sins that they have committed. They will be destroyed by fire, and [only a] few people will remain [alive].
यसकारण सरापले पृथ्वीलाई विनाश पार्छ र यसका बासिन्दाहरू दोषी भेट्टाइएका छन् । पृथ्वीका बासिन्दाहरू जलाइन्छन् र थोरै मानिसहरू मात्र बाँकी छन् ।
7 The grapevines will wither, and there will be no [grapes to make] wine. All [the people] who were previously happy will then groan and mourn.
नयाँ दाखमद्य सुक्छ, दाख ओइलिन्छ, सबै आनन्दि हृदयहरूले शोक गर्छन् ।
8 People will no longer play cheerful songs with tambourines, people will no longer play joyfully on their harps, and people will no longer shout noisily [during their celebrations].
खैंजडीको सुमधुर आवाज बन्द हुन्छ र आनन्द मनाउनेहरूको आनन्दको सोर पनि बन्द हुन्छ । वीणाको आनन्द बन्द हुन्छ ।
9 People will no longer sing while they drink wine, and [all] their alcoholic drinks will taste bitter.
तिनीहरूले फेरि दाखमद्य पिउँदैनन् र गाउँदैनन्, र कडा मद्य पिउनेलाई त्यो तीतो हुन्छ ।
10 [Towns and] cities will be desolate; every house will be locked to prevent thieves from entering.
गोलमालको सहरलाई भत्काइएको छ । हरेक घर बन्द गरिएको र रित्तो छ ।
11 [Mobs] will gather in the streets, wanting wine; no one on the earth will be happy [DOU] any more.
दाखमद्यको कारणले गर्दा सडकमा चिच्याहट छ । सबै आनन्द अन्धकार भएको छ, देशको खुसी लोप भएको छ ।
12 Cities will be ruined and [all] their gates will be battered/broken into pieces.
सहरमा उजाड छोडिएको छ र ढोका भग्नावशेष भएर फुटेको छ ।
13 It will be like that all over the earth: [there will only be a few people still alive], like what happens when [workers] beat all the olives off a tree [and there are only a few left], [or] when they harvest the grapes and there are only a few left [on the vines].
किनकि जस्तो जैतूनको रूखलाई हल्लाउँदा, जस्तो अङ्गुर टिप्दा फाटफुट छुट्छ, सारा पृथ्वीभरि जातिहरू माझ यस्तै नै हुनेछ ।
14 But [those who are left alive] will sing joyfully; people [in nations] to the west [of Israel] will declare that Yahweh is very great;
आफ्नो सोरलाई तिनीहरूले उचाल्नेछन् र परमप्रभुको वैभवको जयजयकार गर्नेछन् र समुद्रबाट आनन्दसाथ कराउनेछन् ।
15 people in nations to the east [of Israel will also] praise Yahweh [MTY]; in countries across the sea, people will praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship].
यसकारण पुर्वमा परमप्रभुको महिमा गर, समुद्रा टापुहरूमा परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको नाउँलाई महिमा देओ ।
16 We will hear [people] in the most distant places on the earth singing praise to [Yahweh], the [truly] righteous one. But [now], I am [SYN] very sad. Weep for me, [because] I have become thin and weak. Terrible things are happening! Treacherous [people still] betray/deceive others everywhere [DOU].
हामीले पृथ्वीको सुदूर भागबाट गीतहरू सुनेका छौं, “धर्मी जनको महिमा होस्!” तर मैले भनें, “म सुकेर जाँदैछु, म सुकेर जाँदैछु, मलाई धिक्कार! धोकेबाजले धोकापुर्ण व्यवहार गरेको छ । हो, धोकेबाजले धेरै धोकापुर्ण व्यवहार गरेको छ ।
17 You people all over the earth, you will be terrified, and you will fall into deep pits and traps/snares.
ए पृथ्वीका बासिन्दाहरू, तिमीहरूमाथि त्रास, खाल्डो र पासो आइलागेको छ ।
18 Those who [try to] flee because they are terrified will fall into [deep] pits, and those who climb out of the pits will be caught by traps/snares. The sky will split open and torrents [SIM] [of rain will fall]; the foundations of the earth will shake.
त्रासको आवाजदेखि भाग्ने खाल्डोमा पर्नेछ, खाल्डोको बिचबाट बाहिर निस्कने पासोमा पर्नेछ । स्वर्गका झ्यालहरू खोलिनेछन् र पृथ्वीका जगहरू हल्लिनेछन् ।
19 The earth will split apart and be shattered; it will shake violently.
पृथ्वी पुर्ण रूपमा टुट्नेछ, पृथ्वी चिरा पर्नेछ । पृथ्वीलाई डरलाग्दो किसिमले हल्लाइनेछ ।
20 [It will be as though] the earth will stagger like [SIM] a drunk; it will shake like [SIM] a hut [shakes in a windstorm]. It will collapse and not [be able to] rise again, [because] the guilt of the people who rebel [against Yahweh] is very great.
पृथ्वी मद्यले मातेको मानिसझैं लरखराउनेछ र यो झुप्रोझैं यताउता हल्लिनेछ । यसमाथि यसको पाप भारि हुनेछ र यो पतन हुनेछ अनि फेरि कहिल्यै उठ्नेछैन ।
21 At that time, Yahweh will punish the [wicked] powerful beings in the skies and the wicked kings on the earth.
त्यस दिन परमप्रभुले स्वर्गका सेनाहरूलाई आकाशमा र पृथ्वीका राजाहरूलाई पृथ्वीमा दण्ड दिनुहुनेछ ।
22 They will [all] be gathered together and thrown into a dungeon/pit. They will be shut/locked in that dungeon/pit, and later they will be punished.
तिनीहरूले कैदीको रूपमा खाल्डोमा एकसाथ जम्मा गरिनेछ र झ्यालखानमा बन्द गरिनेछ । अनि धेरै दिनपछि तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिइनेछ ।
23 At that time the light of the moon and the sun will be lessened; [it will be as though] they are ashamed [in the presence of] Yahweh, because he, the Commander of the armies of angels, will rule gloriously (on Zion Hill/in Jerusalem), in the presence of the leaders [of his people].
तब चन्द्रमा लज्जित हुनेछ र सूर्य अपमानमा पर्नेछ, किनकि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले सियोन पर्वतमा र यरूशलेममा अनि महिमामा आफ्ना धर्मगुरुहरूका सामु राज्य गर्नुहुनेछ ।
