Isaiah 52
1 [You people who live in the] holy city of Jerusalem [APO], wake up! Be strong again! Show that [MTY] your city is beautiful and glorious; foreigners who do not believe in God will not enter your city again [to attack you].
ए सियोन, जाग्, जाग्, आफ्नो शक्ति धारण गर् । ए यरूशलेम, पवित्र सहर, आफ्नो सुन्दर पोशाक लगा । किनकि खतना नगरिएका वा अशुद्धचाहिं फेरि कहिल्यै तँभित्र पस्नेछैन ।
2 People of Jerusalem, get up from [humbly] sitting in the dust and sit in places where people are honored! You people who have returned from being exiled, take off from your neck the chains which were fastened around you [as slaves in Babylonia],
आफैबाट धूलो टक्टक्या । ए यरूशलेम उठ् र बस् । ए सियोनकी कैदी छोरी, आफ्नो घाँटीबाट साङ्ला निकाल् ।
3 because this is what Yahweh says: “[When you were taken to Babylonia], no one paid me for doing that. So now I will bring you back without [being required to] pay for you!”
किनकि परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “तिमीहरू सित्तैंमा बेचिएका थियौ, अनि पैसाविना नै तिमीहरूको छुटकारा हुनेछ ।”
4 Yahweh [our] Lord [also] says this: “Long ago, my people went to Egypt to live there. [Later] they were being (oppressed/treated cruelly) by [the soldiers of] Assyria.
किनकि परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “सुरुमा मेरा मानिसहरू अस्थायी रूपमा बसोवास गर्न मिश्रदेशमा गए । अनि अश्शूरले तिनीहरूलाई कुनै ठिक कारणविना नै अत्याचार गर्यो ।
5 But now think about what is happening: My people are being forced to be slaves again, this time by the [people of Babylonia]. And [those who have conquered them this time have also] paid me nothing, and they despise me [MTY] continually [DOU].
यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, मेरा मानिसहरू सित्तैंमा लगिएको देख्दा, अब मसँग यहाँ के छ र? यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, तिनीहरूमाथि शासन गर्नेहरूले तिनीहरूलाई खिसी गर्छन् र दिनभरि मेरो नाउँको निरन्तर निन्दा हुन्छ ।
6 But my people will then have a close relationship with [MTY] me, and when that happens, they will know that I am the one who predicted/promised [that it would happen]. It is I, [Yahweh, who will do it].”
यसकारण मेरा मानिसहरूले मेरो नाउँ जान्नेछन् । “हो, त्यो म नै हुँ” भन्ने म नै हुँ भनी तिनीहरूले त्यस दिन जान्नेछन् ।
7 It is a wonderful thing when messengers [MTY] arrive on the mountains/hills, bringing good news, the news about [God giving us] peace and saving us, the news that the God to whom we [Israeli people] belong is now ruling/king!
असल समाचार ल्याउने दूतहरूका गोडाहरू पहडाहरूमाथि कति सुन्दर, जसले शन्तिको घोषणा गर्छन्, जसले असल समाचार ल्याउँछन्, जसले उद्धारको घोषणा गर्छन्, जसले सियोनलाई भन्छन्, “तेरो परमेश्वरले राज्य गर्नुहुन्छ!” ।
8 The watchmen [who are guarding the city] will shout and sing joyfully, because while they are watching they will see Yahweh returning to Jerusalem.
सुन्, तिमीहरूका रक्षकहरूले आफ्ना सोर उच्च पार्छन्, तिनीहरू आनन्दले कराउँछन्, किनकि आफ्ना हरेक आँखाले तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु सयोनमा फर्कनुभएको देख्नेछन् ।
9 Jerusalem has been ruined, but the people who are there now should start to sing joyfully, because Yahweh will encourage his people; he will set his people free and bring them back to Jerusalem.
ए यरूशलेमको भग्नावशेषहरू, आनन्दको गीत सँगसँगै गाओ । किनकि परमप्रभुले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई सान्त्वना दिनुभएको छ । उहाँले यरूशलेमको उद्धार गर्नुभएको छ ।
10 Yahweh will show all the nations that he is holy and powerful. People in the most remote/distant places on earth will know that he has rescued his people.
परमप्रभुले आफ्नो पवित्र बाहुली सबै जातिहरूको दृष्टिमा प्रकट गर्नुभएको छ । सारा पृथ्वीले हाम्रा परमेश्वरको उद्धार देख्नेछ ।
11 So, leave [the places where you were taken to when you were captured], where [everything is] unacceptable to God. You men who carry the items used for the worship of Yahweh, leave there [and return to Jerusalem], and purify yourselves [in order to be acceptable to worship God].
छोड, छोड, त्यहाँबाट बाहिर जाओ । अशुद्ध कुनै कुरा नछोओ । त्यसको माझबाट जाओ । आफैलाई शुद्ध बनाओ, तिमीहरू जसले परमप्रभुको पात्रलाई बोक्छौ ।
12 But it will not [be necessary] for you to leave suddenly, to flee in panic, because Yahweh will (go in front of/lead) you; and he will [also] protect you [from being attacked] at the rear [while you travel].
किनकि तिमीहरू हतारमा बाहिर जानेछैनौ, न तिमीहरूले त्रासमा छोड्नेछौ । किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूको अगि-अगि जानुहुनेछ । अनि इस्राएलको परमेश्वर नै तिमीहरू पछाडिको रक्षक हुनुहुनेछ ।
13 [Yahweh says], “Listen carefully! My servant will act wisely (OR, do the right things to accomplish what he wants to), and I will highly exalt him.”
हेर, मेरो सेवकले बुद्धिमान् भएर काम गर्नेछ । ऊ उच्च हुनेछ र माथि उचालिनेछ र उसलाई उचालिनेछ ।
14 But many people will be appalled when they see what has happened to him. [Because of his being beaten very badly], his appearance will be changed; people will hardly recognize that he is a human.
जसरी तँसँग धेरै जना त्रसित भएका थिए— उसको अनुहार कुनै मानिसको भन्दा धेरै कुरूप बनाइएको थियो, र उसको स्वरूप कुनै मानिसको जस्तो देखिएन ।
15 But he will cause [people of] many nations to be surprised; [even] kings will be silent when they stand in front of him, because they will see someone that no one had told them about [previously], and they will understand things that they had not heard about [before].
तापनि मेरो सेवकले धेरै जातिहरूलाई छर्कनेछ र उसको कारणले राजाहरूले आफ्ना मुख बन्द गर्नेछन् । किनकि तिनीहरूलाई नभनिएको कुरा तिनीहरूले देख्नेछन् र तिनीहरू नसुनेका कुरा तिनीहरूले बुझ्नेछन् ।
