Isaiah 56
1 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation [is] near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “जे ठिक छ सो गर, जे न्यायोचित छ सो गर । किनकि मेरो उद्धार नजिकै छ र मेरो धार्मिकता प्रकट हुनै लागेको छ ।
2 Blessed [is] the man [that] doeth this, and the son of man [that] layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
त्यसो गर्ने र त्यसलाई दह्रोसित समात्ने मानिस धन्यको हो । उसले शबाथ-दिनलाई अपवित्र नपारी त्यसको पालन गर्छ र कुनै खराबी गर्नबाट आफ्नो हातलाई अलग राख्छ ।
3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I [am] a dry tree.
परमप्रभुको अनुसरण गर्ने कुनै परदेशीले यसो नभनोस्, “निश्चय नै परमप्रभुले मलाई आफ्ना मानिसहरूबाट बहिस्कार गर्नुहुनेछ ।” नपुङ्सकले यसो भन्नुहुँदैन, “हेर, म सुकेको रूख हुँ ।”
4 For thus saith the LORD to the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose [the things] that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
किनकि परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “मेरा शबाथ-दिन पालन गर्ने र मलाई मन पर्ने कुरा गर्ने र मेरो करा बलियो गरी समात्ने नपुङ्सकहरूलाई,
5 Even to them will I give in my house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
आफ्नो मन्दिरमा र मेरा पर्खालहरूभित्र छोराहरू र छोरीहरू हुनेभन्दा असल स्मारकको रूपमा तिनीहरूलाई म खडा गर्नेछु । तिनीहरूलाई कहिल्यै नकाटिने अनन्तको स्मारक म दिनेछु ।
6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
ती परदेशीहरू पनि जो परमप्रभुमा सहभागी हुन्छन्— उहाँको सेवा गर्न र उहाँको आराधना गर्न परमप्रभुको नाउँलाई प्रेम गर्नेहरू, हरेक व्यक्ति जसले शबाथ-दिन पालन गर्छ, र जसले त्यसलाई अपवित्र पार्दैन, अनि जसले मेरो करार बलियो गरी समाउँछ,
7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices [shall be] accepted upon my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all people.
— म आफ्नो पवित्र पर्वतमा ल्याउनेछु र मेरो प्रार्थनाको घरमा तिनीहरूलाई आनन्दित बनाउनेछु । तिनीहरूका होमबलिहरू र बलिदानहरू मेरो वेदीमा स्वीकार गरिनेछ । किनकि मेरो घर सबै जातिका निम्ति प्रार्थनाको घर भनिनेछ,
8 The Lord GOD who gathereth the outcasts of Israel, Yet will I gather [others] to him, besides those that are gathered to him.
यो इस्राएलबाट बहिष्कृत भएकाहरूलाई भेला पार्नुहुने परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो— तिनीहरूबाहेक अरूलाई पनि म भेला पार्नेछु ।”
9 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yes, all ye beasts in the forest.
ए मैदानमा भएका सबै जङ्गली पशुहरू, वनका सबै जङ्गली पशुहरू आओ र खाओ!
10 His watchmen [are] blind: they are all ignorant, they [are] all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
तिनीहरूका सबै रक्षकहरू अन्धा छन्, तिनीहरूले बुझ्दैनन् । तिनीहरू सबै भुक्न नसक्ने शान्त कुकुरहरू हुन् । तिनीहरू सपना देख्छन् र तिनीहरू ढल्केर सुत्न मन पराउँछन् ।
11 Yes, [they are] greedy dogs [which] can never have enough, and they [are] shepherds [that] cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
ती कुकुरहरू निकै भोकाएका छन् । तिनीहरू कहिल्यै अघाउँदैनन् । तिनीहरू समझ नबइका गोठालाहरू हुन् । तिनीहरू आ-आफ्नै बाटोमा लागेका छन्, प्रत्येक व्यक्तिले अन्यायपुर्ण लाभको निम्ति लालच गर्छ ।
12 Come ye, [say they], I will bring wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to-morrow shall be as this day, [and] much more abundant.
तिनीहरू भन्छन्, “आओ, हामी दाखमद्य र कडा मद्य पिऔं । भोलि पनि आजको जस्तै धेरै महान् दिन हुनेछ ।”
