< यशैया 13 >

1 बेबिलोन बारेमा आमोजका छोरा यशैयाले प्राप्‍त गरेका घोषणाः
The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
2 नाङ्गो पहाडमाथि चिन्हका झण्डाहरू खडा गर, तिनका निम्‍ति उच्‍च सोरले कराओ, भारदारहरूका ढोकाहरूमा जानलाई हातले इशारा गर ।
Lift all of you up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
3 मेरो पवित्र जनलाई मैले आज्ञा गरेको छु, हो, मेरो क्रोध पुरा गर्न आफ्‍ना शक्तिशाली मानिसहरूलाई, गर्भका साथ आनन्दित हुने मेरो जनलाई समेत मैले बोलाएको छु ।
I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.
4 पर्वतहरूमा एउटा भीडको जस्‍तो धेरै जना मानिसहरूको हल्ला! धेरै जातिहरू भेला भएका राज्यहरूको होहल्लाको आवाज! सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले युद्धका निम्ति फौज भेला पार्दै हुनुहुन्‍छ ।
The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts musters the host of the battle.
5 तिनीहरू टाढा देशहरूबाट, क्षितिज परको बाटोबाट आउँछन् । परमप्रभुले आफ्नो न्यायको माध्‍यामले सम्‍पूर्ण देशलाई नाश गर्नुहुन्छ ।
They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
6 डाँको छोडेर रोओ, किनकि परमप्रभुको दिन नजिकै छ । यो सर्वशक्तिमान्‌बाट विनाशसँगै आउँछ ।
Wail all of you; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7 यसकारण सबै हात कमजोर हुन्छन् र हरेक मुटुले ठाउँ छोड्छ ।
Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:
8 तिनीहरू त्रसित हुनेछन् । प्रसव वेदनामा परेकी स्‍त्रलाई झै तिनीहरूलाई पीडा र वेदनाले समात्‍छ । तिनीहरूले चकित हुँदै एकअर्कालाई हेर्नेछन् । तिनीहरूका अनुहारहरू राता हुनेछन् ।
And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that labors: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9 हेर, देशलाई विनाश पार्न र त्‍यसबाट पापीहरूलाई नाश पार्न, परमप्रभुको दिन निर्दयी क्रोध र प्रचूर रिस लिएर आउँछ ।
Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 आकाशका ताराहरू र तारा पुन्‍जहरूले आफ्‍ना प्रकाश दिनेछैनन् । बिहानैदेखि सूर्य नै अध्याँरो हुनेछ र चन्द्रमा चम्कनेछैन ।
For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 संसारलाई त्‍यसको दुष्‍टताको निम्‍ति अनि दुष्‍टहरूलाई तिनीहरूका अपराधको निम्ति म सजाय दिनेछु । घमण्डीको अहङ्कारलाई म अन्त गर्नेछु र निर्दयीको अहङ्कारलाई तल खसाल्‍नेछु ।
And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 मानिसहरूलाई निखुर सुनभन्दा पनि दुर्लभ र मानवजाति भेट्न ओपीरको शुद्ध सुनभन्दा पनि कठिन म बनाउनेछु ।
I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 यसकारण सर्वशक्तिमान् परमभुको डरलाग्‍दो क्रोध र उहाँको प्रचण्‍ड रिसको दिनमा, आकाशलाई म हल्लाउनेछु, र पृथ्वी आफ्‍नो ठाउँमा हल्‍लिनेछ ।
Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
14 लखेटिएको हरिण वा गठालो नभएको भेडाझैं, हरेक मानिस आफ्ना मानिसतिर फर्कनेछ र आफ्नै देशतिर भाग्‍नेछ ।
And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man takes up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.
15 भेट्टाइएका हरेक व्‍यक्‍तिलाई मारिनेछ र कब्जा गरिएका हरेक व्‍यक्‍ति तरवारले मर्नेछ ।
Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.
16 तिनीहरू दूधे बालकहरूलाई पनि तिनीहरूकै आँखाको सामु पछारेर टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिनेछ । तिनीहरूका घरहरू लुटिनेछ र तिनीहरूका पत्‍नीहरूलाई बलत्‍कार गरिनेछ ।
Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
17 हेर, तिनीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्न मैले मादीहरूलाई उक्साउनै लागेको छु, जसले चाँदीको ख्याल गर्दैनन् न त तिनीहरू सुनमा नै खुसी हुन्छन् ।
Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
18 तिनीहरूका धनुले जवान मानिसहरूलाई प्रहार गर्नेछ । तिनीहरूले दूधे बालकहरूलाई दया देखाउँदैनन् र तिनीहरूले बालबालिकालाई दया देखाउँदैनन् ।
Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children.
19 त्यसपछि राज्यहरूमध्ये धेरै प्रशंसा गरिएको कल्दीहरूका गौरवको वैभव बेबिलोनलाई, परमेश्‍वरले सदोम र गमोरालाई झैं नष्‍ट पार्नुहुनेछ ।
And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 पुस्‍तौं-पुस्‍तासम्म त्‍यसमा कोही बसोवास गर्नेछैनन् । अरबीले त्यहाँ आफ्नो पाल टाँग्‍नेछैन, न त गोठालाहरूले आफ्ना बगालहरूलाई त्यहाँ विश्राम गराउनेछन् ।
It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
21 तर मरूभुमिका जङ्‍गली पशुहरू त्यहाँ बस्‍नेछन् । तिनीहरूका घरहरू लाटोकोसेराले भरिनेछन् । सुतुर्मुगहरू र घोरलहरू त्यहाँ उफ्रनेछन् ।
But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.
22 तिनीहरूका किल्लाहरूमा हुँडारहरू कराउनेछन् र तिनीहरूका सुन्दर दरबारहरूमा स्यालहरू हुनेछन् । त्यसको समय नजिकै छ र त्यसका दिनहरू बिलम्व हुनेछैनन् ।
And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
