Isaiah 5
1 Let me sing for my well beloved a song of my beloved about his vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.
मेरो असल प्रियको निम्ति मलाई गाउन, मेरो प्रियको दाखबारीको बारेमा एउटा गीत गाउन दिनुहोस् ।
2 He dug it up, gathered out its stones, planted it with the choicest vine, built a tower in the middle of it, and also cut out a wine press in it. He looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes.
उनले यो खने, ढुङ्गाहरू हटाए र त्यसमा उत्तम जातको दाख रोपे । उनले त्यसको बिचमा एउटा धरहरा बनाए र एउटा दाखको कोल पनि बनाए । उनले दाख उत्पादन गर्ने समयसम्म पर्खे, तर त्यसले जङ्गली दाख मात्र फलायो ।
3 “Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, please judge between me and my vineyard.
त्यसैले अब ए यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरू र यहूदाका मानिस हो, म र मेरो दाखबारीको बिचमा न्याय गर ।
4 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked for it to yield grapes, did it yield wild grapes?
मेरो दाखबारीको निम्ति मैले नगरेको त्यस्तो के कुरा त्यसको निम्ति गर्न सकिन्थ्यो? त्यसले दाख फलाओस् भन्ने मेरो आशा हुँदा, त्यसले किन जङ्गली दाखहरू फलायो?
5 Now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away its hedge, and it will be eaten up. I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled down.
अब म आफ्नो दाखबारीलाई के गर्नेछु सो म तिमीहरूलाई भन्नेछु, म त्यसलाई चरनमा बदल्नेछु, त्यसको पर्खला म भत्काउनेछु र त्यसलाई कुल्चीमिल्ची गरिनेछ ।
6 I will lay it a wasteland. It won’t be pruned or hoed, but it will grow briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it.”
म त्यसलाई बरबाद गर्नेछु र यसलाई छाँटकाँट वा खनजोत गरिनेछैन । बरु, यसमा काँढा र सिउँडीहरू उम्रिनेछन् । त्यसमाथि वर्ष नहोस् भनी म बादललाई आज्ञा पनि दिनेछु ।
7 For the vineyard of the LORD of Hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant. He looked for justice, but behold, oppression, for righteousness, but behold, a cry of distress.
किनकि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको दाखबारी इस्राएलको घराना, र यहूदाका मानिसचाहिं आनन्दको बगैंचा हो । न्यायको निम्ति उहाँ पर्खनुभयो, तर त्यसको साटोमा त्यहाँ हत्या भयो । धार्मिकताको खोज्नुभयो तर त्यसको साटोमा सहायताको निम्ति चित्कार आयो ।
8 Woe to those who join house to house, who lay field to field, until there is no room, and you are made to dwell alone in the middle of the land!
ठाउँ नै नरहने गरी घरसित घर जोड्ने र खेतसित खेत जोड्नेहरूलाई धिक्कार, र तिमीहरू मात्र देशमा रहन्छौ!
9 In my ears, the LORD of Hosts says: “Surely many houses will be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.
सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, धेरै वटा घर, ठुला र भव्य महलसमेत रित्ता हुनेछन्, त्यसमा बस्ने कोही हुनेछैन् ।
10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an efah.”
किनकि दस हलको दाखबारीले पाँच पाथी दाख र पचास पाथी बीउले पाँच पाथी अन्न मात्र उब्जाउनेछ ।
11 Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink, who stay late into the night, until wine inflames them!
कडा मद्य पिउनलाई बिहान सबेरै उठ्नेहरू, मद्यले तिनीहरूलाई चूर नबनाएसम्म राती अबेरसम्म बस्नेहरूलाई धिक्कार ।
12 The harp, lyre, tambourine, and flute, with wine, are at their feasts; but they don’t respect the work of the LORD, neither have they considered the operation of his hands.
तिनीहरू वीणा, सारङ्गी, बाँसुरी र मद्यसित भोज खान्छन्, तर तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको कामको चिन्दैनन्, न त तिनीहरूले उहाँका हातका कामहरूलाई नै विचार गरेका छन् ।
13 Therefore my people go into captivity for lack of knowledge. Their honourable men are famished, and their multitudes are parched with thirst.
यसकारण सुझबुझको कमीला गर्दा मेरा मानिसहरू निर्वासनमा गएका छन् । तिनीहरूका आदरणिय अगुवाहरू भोक-भोकै हुन्छन् र तिनीहरूका साधारण मानिससँग पिउनलाई कुनै कुरा छैन ।
14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices amongst them, descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
यसकारण चिहानले आफ्नो भोकलाई ठुलो पारेको छ र त्यसले आफ्नो मुखलाई चौडा पारेको छ । तिनीहरूका कुलीनहरू, मानिसहरू, हल्ले गर्नेहरू र तिनीहरू माझका खुसी हुनेहरू चिहानमा जान्छन् । (Sheol h7585)
15 So man is brought low, mankind is humbled, and the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;
मानिसलाई निहुरिन बाध्य बनाइनेछ र मानवजाति नम्र तुल्याइनेछ । घमण्डीका आँखालाई झुकाइनेछन् ।
16 but the LORD of Hosts is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु आफ्नो न्यायमा उच्च पारिनुहुनेछ र परमपवित्र परमेश्वरले आफ्नो धर्मिकताद्वारा आफूलाई पवित्र प्रकट गर्नुहुनेछ ।
17 Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.
तब भेडाहरू तिनीहरूका आफ्नै चरणमा झैं चर्नेछन् र भग्नावशेषमा थुमाहरू परदेशीझैं चर्नेछन् ।
18 Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and wickedness as with cart rope,
धिक्कार तिनीहरूलाई जसले अधर्मलाई व्यर्थका डोरीले तान्छन् र पापलाई गाडाको डोरीले झैं तान्छन् ।
19 who say, “Let him make haste, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it!”
धिक्कार तिनीहरूलाई, जसले भन्छन्, “परमेश्वरले हतार गर्नुभएको होस्, उहाँले चाँडै काम गर्नुभएको होस्, यसैले कि हामी यसो भएको देख्न सक्छौं । र इस्राएलको परमपवरित्रको योजना पुरा होस् ताकि हामीले ती थाहा पाउनेछौं ।”
20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
धिक्कार तिनीहरूलाई जसले खराबलाई असल र असललाई खराब भन्छन् । जसले ज्योतिलाई अँध्यारो र अँध्यारोलाई ज्योतिको रूपमा लिन्छन् । अनि तीतोलाई गुलियो र गुलियोलाई तीतोको रूपमा लिन्छन् ।
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
धिक्कार तिनीहरूलाई जो आफ्नै आँखामा बुद्धिमान र आफ्नै समझमा चतुर छन्!
22 Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and champions at mixing strong drink;
धिक्कार तिनीहरूलाई जो दाकमद्य पिउनलाई सिपालु र कडा मद्यहरू मिसाउनमा कुसल छन् ।
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice for the innocent!
जसले घुस लिएर दुष्टलाई छोडिदिन्छ र निर्दोषलाई उसको अधिकार हनन् गर्छ!
24 Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust, because they have rejected the law of the LORD of Hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
यसकारण जसरी आगोको ज्वालाले झिंजामिंजालाई जलाउँछ र जसरी सुकेको घाँस आगोमा भष्म हुन्छ, त्यसरी नै तिनीहरूका जरा सड्नेछ र तिनीहरूका फूल धूलोझैं उड्नेछ । सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको व्यावस्थालाई तिनीहरूले इन्कार गरेका हुनाले यसो हुनेछ, अनि इस्राएलका परमपवित्रको वचनलाई तिनीहरूले घृणा गरेका हुनाले यस्तो हुनेछ ।
25 Therefore the LORD’s anger burns against his people, and he has stretched out his hand against them and has struck them. The mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the middle of the streets. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is still stretched out.
यसकारण परमप्रभुको रिस उहाँका मानिसहरूका विरुद्ध दन्किएको छ । उहाँले आफ्नो हात तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा पसार्नुभएको छ र तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनुभएको छ । पहडाहरू काँप्छन् र तिनीहरूका लाशहरू गल्लीहरूमा फोहोर झैं छन् । यी सबै कुरामा उहाँको रिस मर्दैन । बरु, उहाँको हात अझै पसारिएको छ ।
26 He will lift up a banner to the nations from far away, and he will whistle for them from the end of the earth. Behold, they will come speedily and swiftly.
उहाँले टाढाका जातिहरूका निम्ति चिन्हको झण्डा उठाउनुहुनेछ र पृथ्वीको अन्तमा भएकाहरूलाई सुसेलेर बोलाउनुहुनेछ । हेर, तिनीहरू द्रूत गतिमा र तुरुन्तै आउनेछन् ।
27 No one shall be weary nor stumble amongst them; no one shall slumber nor sleep, neither shall the belt of their waist be untied, nor the strap of their sandals be broken,
तिनीहरूका माझमा कोही पनि थाक्नेछन् न त ठेस खानेछैन् । कोही पनि निदाउनेछैन न त उँघ्नेछन् । न त तिनीहरूका पेटीहरू खुकुला हुनेछन्, न त तिनीहरूका जुत्ताका फिताहरू नै खुकुला हुनेछन् ।
28 whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent. Their horses’ hoofs will be like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind.
तिनीहरूका काँडहरू तीखा छन् र तिनीहरूका सबै धनुहरूमा ताँदो चढाइएका छन् । तिनीहरूका घोडाहरूका खुर चकमक ढुङ्गाहरूजस्ता छन् र तिनीहरूका रथहरूका पाङ्ग्राहरू आँधिजस्ता छन् ।
29 Their roaring will be like a lioness. They will roar like young lions. Yes, they shall roar, and seize their prey and carry it off, and there will be no one to deliver.
तिनीहरूका गर्जन सिंहको जस्तो हुनेछ । जवान सिंहहरूझैं तिनीहरू गर्जनेछन् । तिनीहरू गर्जन्छन् र शिकार समात्नेछन् र छुटाउने कोही नभई त्यो घिसारेर लैजान्छन् ।
30 They will roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. If one looks to the land, behold, darkness and distress. The light is darkened in its clouds.
त्यस दिन शिकारको विरुद्धमा तिनीहरू समुद्र गर्जेझैं गर्जनेछन् । कसैले देशलाई हेर्छ भने, उसले अन्धकार र कष्ट देख्नेछ । प्रकाशलाई पनि बादलले अँध्यारो पार्नेछ ।
