यशैया 16
1 उजाड-स्थानको सेलाको देशबाट सियोन पर्वतको छोरीको शासकलाई थुमाहरू पठाओ ।
I will send as it were reptiles on the land: is [not] the mount of the daughter of Sion a desolate rock?
2 जसरी चराहरू भौंतारिन्छन् र जसरी गुँड छरपष्ट पारिन्छ, मोआबका स्त्रीहरू अर्नोनका जाँघारहरूमा तेस्तै भएका छन् ।
For you shall be as a young bird taken away from a bird that has flown: [even] you shall be [so], daughter of Moab: and then do you, O Arnon,
3 “निर्देशन दओ, न्याय गर । मध्य दिनमा पनि रातको जस्तै केही सितलता प्रदान गर । भगौडाहरूलाई लुकाओ । भगौडाहरूलाई धोका नदेओ ।
take farther counsel, and continually make you a shelter from grief: they flee in darkness at mid-day; they are amazed; be not you led captive.
4 मोआबबाट आएका शरणार्थीहरू तिमीहरूको माझमा बसोवास गरून् । विनाश गर्नेबाट तिनीहरूका निम्ति लुक्ने ठाउँ होओ ।” किनकि अत्याचार रोकिनेछ, र विनाश अन्त हुनेछ, कुल्चनेहरू देशबाट लोप भएर जानेछन् ।
The fugitives of Moab shall sojourn with you; they shall be to you a shelter from the face of the pursuer: for your alliance has been taken away, and the oppressing ruler has perished from off the earth.
5 करारको विश्वस्ततामा सिंहासनलाई स्थापित गरिनेछ । अनि दाऊदको पालबाट आएका एक जना विश्वस्ततासाथ त्यसमा विराजमान हुनुहुनेछ । उहाँले न्यायको खोजी गर्नुहुँदा र धार्मिकतासाथ व्यवहार गर्नुहुँदा उहाँले इन्साफ गर्नुहुनेछ ।
And a throne shall be established with mercy; and one shall sit upon it with truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and earnestly seeking judgments, and hasting righteousness.
6 मोआबको घमण्ड, त्यसको अहङ्कार र त्यसको रिसको बारेमा हामीले सुनेका छौं । तर त्यसका घमण्डहरू खोक्रा शब्दहरू हुन् ।
We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud. I have cut off his pride: your prophecy shall not be thus, [no] not thus.
7 त्यसैले मोआबले मोआबको निम्ति विलाप गर्नेछ— तिनीहरू सबैले विलाप गर्नेछन् । कीर-हरेशेतको किशमिशको झुप्पाको निम्ति पुर्ण रूपमा विनाश भएकाहरूले विलाप गर ।
Moab shall howl; for all shall howl in the land of Moab: but you shall care for them that dwell in Seth, and you shall not be ashamed.
8 हेश्बोनका खेतहरू साथै सिब्माका दाखहरू सुकेका छन् । याजेरमा पुगेको र मरुभूमिमा फैलिएको उत्तम दाखहरूलाई, जातिहरूका शासकहरूले कुल्चेका छन् । त्यसका टुसाहरू बाहिर देशमा फैलिए । ती समुद्रमाथि गए ।
The plains of Esebon shall mourn, the vine of Sebama: swallowing up the nations, trample you her vines, even to Jazer: you shall not come together; wander you in the desert: they that were sent are deserted, for they have gone over to the sea.
9 साँच्चै, सिब्माको दाखबारीको निम्ति म याजेरसँगै रुनेछु । ए हेश्बोन र एलाले, मेरो आँसुले म तँलाई भिजाउनेछु । किनकि तेरो गृष्मका फलहरू र कटनीको आनन्दको आवाजलाई मैले अन्त गरेको छु ।
Therefore will I weep as with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sebama; Esebon and Eleale have cast down your trees; for I will trample on your harvest and on your vintages, and all [your plants] shall fall.
10 फलका रूखहरूबाट खुसी र आनन्द लुटिएको छ । अनि दाखबारीमा कुनै किसिमको गीत वा आवाज छैन । दाखको कोलमा कसैले पनि दाख पेल्दैन, किनकि दाख पाल्नेहरूको आवाज मैले अन्त गरेको छु ।
And gladness and rejoicing shall be taken away from the vineyards; and they shall not at all tread wine into the vats; for [the vintage] has ceased.
11 त्यसैले मेरो हृदयले मोआबको निम्ति र मेरो अन्तस्करणले कीर-हरेशेतको निम्ति वीणाले झैं सुस्केरा हाल्छ ।
Therefore my belly shall sound as a harp for Moab, and you have repaired my inward parts as a wall.
12 जब मोआबले आफूलाई उच्च स्थानमा थकित बनाउँछ र प्रार्थना गर्न आफ्नो मन्दिरमा प्रवेश गर्छ, त्यसको प्रार्थनाले केही काम गर्नेछैन ।
And it shall be to your shame, (for Moab is wearied at the altars, ) that he shall go in to the idols thereof to pray, but they shall not be at all able to deliver him.
13 परमप्रभुले मोआबको बारेमा पहिले नै बोल्नुभएको वचन यही हो ।
This is the word which the Lord spoke against Moab, when he spoke.
14 फेरि परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, “मोआबको गौरव तिन वर्षभित्र हराउनेछ । त्यसको धेरै मानिहरू भए पनि बाँकी रहेकाहरू अति थोरै र नगण्य हुनेछन् ।”
And now I say, in three years, of the years of an hireling, the glory of Moab shall be dishonored [with] all his great wealth; and he shall be left few in number, and not honored.
