< यशैया 14 >

1 परमप्रभुले याकूबलाई दया गर्नुहुनेछ । उहाँले फेरि पनि इस्राएललाई रोज्‍नुहुनेछ र तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नै देशमा पुनर्स्थापना गर्नुहुनेछ । परदेशीहरू पनि तिनीहरूसँगै सहभागी हुनेछन् र आफूलाई याकूबको घरानासँग आवद्ध गराउनेछन् ।
For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will again make choice of Israel, and replace them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined unto them, and they shall attach themselves to the house of Jacob.
2 जातिहरूले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नै ठाउँमा ल्याउनेछन् । तब इस्राएलको घरानाले तिनीहरूलाई सेवक र सेविकाको रूपमा परमप्रभुको देशमा लानेछन् । तिनीहरूलाई कैदी बनाउनेहरूलाई तिनीहरूले कैदी बनाउनेछन् र तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना अत्याचारीहरूमाथि राज्‍य गर्नेछन् ।
And nations shall take them, and bring them to their own place; but the house of Israel shall obtain possession of them in the land of the Lord for men-servants and for maid-servants; and they shall take captive their captors, and they shall rule over their oppressors.
3 त्‍यो दिनमा तिमीहरूका कष्‍ट र पीडाबाट, अनि तिमीहरूले गर्नुपर्ने कडा परिश्रमबाट परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई विश्राम दिनुहुन्‍छ,
And it shall come to pass on the day when the Lord will give thee rest from thy trouble, and from thy vexation, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,
4 तब तिमीहरूले बेबिलोनको राजाको विरुद्ध यो गिल्लाको गीत गाउनेछौ, “अत्याचारीको अन्त्‍य कसरी भएको छ, घमण्डी क्रोधको अन्त्‍य भयो!
That thou wilt take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath ceased the oppressor! ceased the exactress of gold!
5 परमप्रभुले दुष्‍टहरूको लट्ठी र ती शासकहरूको राजदण्ड भाँच्‍नुभएको छ,
Broken hath the Lord the staff of the wicked, the sceptre of rulers;
6 जसले मानिसहरूलाई क्रोधमा निरन्‍तर रूपमा प्रहार गर्‍यो, जसले अनियन्त्रित रूपमा आक्रमण गरेर जातिहरूमाथि क्रोधमा राज्‍य गर्‍यो ।
He who smote people in wrath, blows without intermission, he that ruled in anger nations, persecuting without restraint.
7 सम्‍पूर्ण पृथ्वी नै विश्राममा छ र शान्त छ । तिनीहरूले गीत गाउँदै उत्सव मनाउन सुरु गर्छन् ।
At rest, quiet is all the earth; men break forth into loud song.
8 सल्लाका रूखहरू लेबनानको देवदारुहरूसँगै तँलाई देखेर रमाउँछन् । तिनीहरू भन्छन्, 'तँलाई तल खसालिएको हुनाले, हामीलाई काटेर ढाल्न काठ काट्ने कुनै मानिस माथि आउनेछैन ।'
Also, the fir-trees rejoice at thee, the cedars of Lebanon, “Since thou wast laid low, no feller is come up against us.”
9 तँ चिहानमा जाँदा, तँलाई भेट्न चिहान उत्सुक हुन्छ । पृथ्वीका सबै राजालाई, जातिहरूका सबै राजालाई, आफ्‍ना सिंहासनबाट माथि खडा हुन लगाएर तेरो निम्ति त्‍यसले मृतहरूलाई जगाउँछ । (Sheol h7585)
The nether world from below is in motion concerning thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the departed for thee, all the chief ones of the earth; it hath caused to rise up from their thrones all the kings of nations. (Sheol h7585)
10 तिनीहरू सबै बोल्नेछन् र तँलाई यसो भन्‍नेछन्, 'तँ पनि हामीजस्तै कमजोर भएको छस् । तँ पनि हामीजस्तै भएको छस् ।
They all will commence and say unto thee, “Thou—thou also art become weak like us; similar unto us art thou become!”
11 तेरो तडकभडकलाई तेरो वीणाहरूको आवाजसँगै चिहनामा ल्याइएको छ । तँमुनि औंसाहरू फैलिएका छन् र तँलाई किराहरूले ढाकेको छ,' (Sheol h7585)
Into the nether world is brought down thy pride, the clatter of thy psalteries: beneath thee is spread the worm, and thy cover is the moth. (Sheol h7585)
12 ए दिनको तारा, बिहानको पुत्र, तँ कसरी स्‍वर्गबाट तल झरेको छस्! जातिहरूमाथि विजय पाएको, तँलाई कसरी भूइँमा ढालिएको छ!
How art thou fallen from heaven, O morning-star, son of the dawn! how art thou hewn down to the ground, crusher of nations!
13 तैंले आफ्नो हृदयमा भनेको थिइस्, 'म स्वर्गमा चढ्‍नेछु, परमेश्‍वरका ताराहरूभन्दा माथि म आफ्‍नो सिंहासनलाई उचाल्नेछु, र सभाको पहाडमाथि सूदूर उत्तरमा म विराजमान हुनेछु ।
And thou—thou hadst said in thy heart, “Into heaven will I ascend, above the stars of God will I exalt my throne; and I will sit also upon the mount of the assembly, in the farthest end of the north;
14 बादलहरूको उचाइभन्दा माथि म चड्‍नेछु । म आफैलाई सर्वोच्‍च परमेश्‍वरजस्तै बनाउनेछु ।'
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be equal to the Most High.”
15 तापनि तँलाई अब चिहानमा, खडालको गहिराइमा तल खसालिएको छ । (Sheol h7585)
But into the nether world shalt thou be brought down, into the lowest depth. (Sheol h7585)
16 तँलाई देख्‍नेहरूले तँलाई टुलुटुलु हेर्नेछन् र तिनीहरूले तँलाई ध्यान दिनेछन् । तिनीहरूले सोध्‍नेछन्, 'के यो त्‍यही मानिस हो, जसले पृथ्वीलाई थर्कमान पार्‍यो, जसले राज्यहरूलाई हल्‍लायो,
They that see thee will gaze at thee, will regard thee well, [saying, ] “Is this the man that caused the earth to tremble, that made kingdoms quake?
17 जसले संसारलाई उजाड-स्‍थानजस्‍तो बनायो, जसले सहरहरूलाई नष्‍ट पार्‍यो र आफ्‍ना कैदीहरूलाई घर जान दिएन?'
That rendered the world as a wilderness, and pulled down its cities: never opened the prison-house of his prisoners?”
18 जातिहरूका सबै राजा, तीमध्‍ये सबै जना, हरेक व्‍यक्‍ति आ-आफ्ना चिहानमा आदरसाथ सुत्‍छन् ।
All the kings of nations, all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own [eternal] house.
19 तर एउटा हाँगालाई फालेझैं, तेरो चिहानबाट तँलाई बाहिर फालिएको छ । तरवारले छेडेर मारिएका खाल्डोका ढुङ्गाहरूतिर जाने मृतकहरूले तँलाई कपडाले झैं ढाक्‍छन् ।
But thou—thou art cast out of thy grave like a discarded offshoot, as a garment of those that are slain, pierced by the sword, that go down to the stones of the pit, as a carcass trodden under foot.
20 तैंले आफ्नो देशलाई नाश पारेको र आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई मारेको हुनाले तिनीहरूसँगै तेरो दफन हुनेछैन । दुष्‍ट काम गर्नेहरूका सन्तानलाई फेरि कहिल्यै याद गरिनेछैन ।”
Thou shalt not be united with them in burial; because thy land hast thou destroyed, thy people hast thou slain: to eternity shall not be called the seed of evil-doers.
21 त्यसका सन्‍तानलाई, तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूका अपराधको निम्ति मार्ने ठाउँ तयार पार्, यसरी तिनीहरू उठ्नेछैनन् र पृथ्वी अधीन गर्नेछैनन् र सारा संसारलाई सहरहरूले भर्नेछैनन् ।
Prepare for his children the slaughter, for the iniquity of their fathers: that they may not rise, and possess the land, and fill the face of the world with enemies [of mankind].
22 “तिनीहरू विरुद्धमा म खडा हुनेछु,”— यो सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो । “म बेबिलोनबाट नाउँ, सन्तान र वंशज नष्‍ट पार्नेछु,”— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
And I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts; and I will cut off from Babylon name, and remnant, and son, and grandson, saith the Lord.
23 “म त्यसलाई लाटोकोसेरोको अधीनमा र पानीको तलाउमा राख्‍नेछु, र विनाशको कुचोले म त्यसलाई बढार्नेछु,”— यो सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
I will also make it a possession for the hedgehog, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the Lord of hosts.
24 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले शपथ खानुभएको छ, “निश्‍चय नै, जस्तो मैले इच्‍छा गरेको छु, त्यस्तै हुनेछ । अनि जे उद्देश्य मैले राखेको छु, त्‍यो पुरा हुनेछ ।
Sworn hath the Lord of hosts, saying, Surely as I have purposed, so doth it come to pass; and as I have resolved, so shall it occur:
25 अश्शूरलाई म आफ्‍नो देशमा चकनाचूर पार्नेछु र मेरो पर्वतमा म त्‍यसलाई खुट्टामुनि कुल्चिनेछु । तिनीहरूका काँधबाट त्यसको जुवा हटाइनेछ र तिनीहरूका पिठ्यूबाट त्यसको भारी निकालिनेछ ।”
To break Asshur in my own land, and upon my mountains will I tread him under foot; then shall his yoke be removed from off them, and his burden from off their shoulders.
26 सम्‍पूर्ण पृथ्वीको निम्ति इच्‍छा गरिएको योजना यही हो र सारा जातिहरूमाथि पसारिएको बहुली यही हो ।
This is the resolve that is resolved over all the earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
27 किनकि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले नै यो योजना गर्नुभएको छ । उहाँलाई कसले रोक्‍न सक्छ र? उहाँको हात उचालिएको छ र त्‍यसलाई कसले फर्काउने छ र?
For the Lord of hosts hath resolved, and who shall frustrate it? and it is his hand which is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
28 आहाज राजा मरेको वर्षमा यो घोषणा आयोः
In the year king Achaz died was this prophecy [given].
29 ए सारा पलिश्‍तीहरू हो, तिमीहरूलाई प्रहार गर्ने छडी भाँचिएको छ भनेर आनन्दित नहोओ । किनकि साँपको वंशबाट झन् विषलु सर्प बढ्‍नेछ, र त्यसको सन्तान डरलाग्‍दो उड्ने सर्प हुनेछ ।
Rejoice not, thou entire Palestine, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken; for out of the serpent's root shall come forth an adder, and its fruit shall be a flying dragon.
30 गरीबको जेठा छोरोले मेरो खर्कहरूमा आफ्‍ना भेडाहरू चराउनेछन्, र खाँचामा परेकाहरू सुरक्षासँग पल्टिनेछन् । तेरो वंशलाई म अनिकाले मार्नेछु जसले तेरा बाँचेका सबैलाई मृत्युमा पुर्‍याउनेछ ।
And the first-born of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall rest in safety: and I will kill with famine thy root, and men shall slay thy remnant.
31 ए ढोका करा । ए सहर चिच्या । हे पलिश्‍ती, तिमीहरू सबै पग्‍लेर हराउनेछौ । किनकि उत्तरबाट धूँवाको बादल आउँछ र त्यसको पङ्तिमा धरमराउने कोही छैन ।
Wail, O gate; cry out, O city; thou art dissolved, O thou entire Palestine; for from the north a smoke is coming, and there is no one solitary among those that are bidden to come.
32 जातिका दूलहरूलाई तिनीहरूले कसरी जवाफ दिनेछन्? “परमप्रभुले सियोनलाई बसाल्नुभएको छ, त्यसमा कष्‍टमा परेका मानिसहरूले शरण लिनेछन् ।”
And what will each one of the messengers of the nation answer? That the Lord hath founded Zion; and that therein shall find protection the poor of his people.
