< Isaiah 62 >

1 For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness shines out like the dawn, and her salvation like a burning lamp.
किनकि सियोनको खातिर चूप लाग्‍नेछैन र यरूशलेमको खातिर म मौन रहनेछैन, जबसम्‍म त्यसको धार्मिकता चहकिलो रूपमा बढ्‍दैन र त्यसको उद्धार दन्केको एउटा राँकोझैं हुँदैन ।
2 The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name, which Yahweh’s mouth will name.
जातिहरूले तेरो धार्मिकता र राजाहरूले तेरो महिमा देख्‍नेछन् । परमप्रभुले चुन्‍नुहुने नयाँ नाउँले तँलाई बोलाइनेछ ।
3 You will also be a crown of beauty in Yahweh’s hand, and a royal diadem in your God’s hand.
परमप्रभुको हातमा तँ एउटा सुन्दरताको मुकुट र आफ्‍नो परमेश्‍वरको हातमा राजकीय मुकुट हुनेछस् ।
4 You will not be called Forsaken any more, nor will your land be called Desolate any more; but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for Yahweh delights in you, and your land will be married.
तेरो बारेमा कदापि “त्यागिएकी” भनिनेछैनस् । न त तेरो देशलाई फेरि कहिलै “उजाडिएको” भनिनेछ । तँलाई साँच्‍चै, “त्‍योसँग म खुसी छु” र तेरो देशलाई “विवाहित” भनिनेछ, किनकि परमप्रभु तँमा खुसी हुनुहुन्छ र तेरो देश विवाहित हुनेछ ।
5 For as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons will marry you. As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you.
साँच्‍चै एक जना जवान मानिसले जवान स्‍त्रीलाई विवाह गरेझैं, तेरा छोराहरूले तँलाई विवाह गर्नेछन् । अनि एक जना दुलहा आफ्‍नी दुलहीसँग आनन्‍दित भएझैं तेरा परमेश्‍वर तँसित आनन्‍दित हुनुहुनेछ ।
6 I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem. They will never be silent day nor night. You who call on Yahweh, take no rest,
ए यरूशलेम, मैले तेरा पर्खालहरूमा रक्षकहरू राखेको छु । तिनीहरू दिनरात चुप बस्दैनन् । तिमीहरू जो परमप्रभुलाई पुकार्छौ, विश्राम नलेओ ।
7 and give him no rest until he establishes, and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
उहाँले यरूशलेमलाई पुनःस्थापना गरेर र पृथ्वीमा यसलाई प्रशंसा नबनाएसम्म उहाँलाई विश्राम गर्न नदेओ ।
8 Yahweh has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, “Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies, and foreigners will not drink your new wine, for which you have labored,
परमप्रभुले आफ्नो दाहिने बाहुली र आफ्नो सामर्थ्यद्वारा शपथ खानुभएको छ, “निश्‍चय नै तेरो अन्‍न तेरो शत्रुहरूलाई म फेरि दिनेछैन । विदेशीहरूले तेरो नयाँ दाखमद्य पिउनेछैनन्, जसको निम्ति तैंले काम गरेको छस् ।
9 but those who have harvested it will eat it, and praise Yahweh. Those who have gathered it will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.”
कटनी गर्नेहरूले त्‍यो खानेछन् र पमरप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर्नेछन् । अनि दाख टिप्‍नेहरूले मेरो पवित्रस्थानको चोकमा दाखमद्य पिउनेछन् ।”
10 Go through, go through the gates! Prepare the way of the people! Build up, build up the highway! Gather out the stones! Lift up a banner for the peoples.
ढोकाबाट आओ, ढोकाबाट आओ! मानिसहरूको निम्ति बाटो तयार पार! यसलाई निर्माण गर, मुल बाटो बनाओ! ढुङ्गाहरू बटुल! जातिहरूको निम्ति संकेतको झन्डा उठाओ ।
11 Behold, Yahweh has proclaimed to the end of the earth: “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your salvation comes! Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him!’”
हेर, परमप्रभुले पृथ्वीको अन्तिम छेउसम्म घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, “सियोनकी छोरीलाई भनः हेर्, तेरो मुक्‍तिदाता आउँदैहुनुहुन्छ । हेर्, उहाँको इनाम उहाँसँगै छ र उहाँको प्रतिफल उहाँको अघि जाँदैछ ।”
12 They will call them “The Holy People, Yahweh’s Redeemed”. You will be called “Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken”.
तिनीहरूले तँलाई यसो भन्‍नेछन्, “पवित्र मानिसहरू । परमप्रभुले उद्धार गर्नुभएकाहरू,” अनि तँलाई “खोजिएको । नत्यागिएको सहर” भनिनेछ ।
