< यशैया 16 >
1 उजाड-स्थानको सेलाको देशबाट सियोन पर्वतको छोरीको शासकलाई थुमाहरू पठाओ ।
Send a lamb [to] the ruler of the land, From Selah in the wilderness, To the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
2 जसरी चराहरू भौंतारिन्छन् र जसरी गुँड छरपष्ट पारिन्छ, मोआबका स्त्रीहरू अर्नोनका जाँघारहरूमा तेस्तै भएका छन् ।
And it has come to pass, As a wandering bird, cast out of a nest, Are daughters of Moab, [at] fords of Arnon.
3 “निर्देशन दओ, न्याय गर । मध्य दिनमा पनि रातको जस्तै केही सितलता प्रदान गर । भगौडाहरूलाई लुकाओ । भगौडाहरूलाई धोका नदेओ ।
Bring in counsel, do judgment, Make your shadow as night in the midst of noon, Hide outcasts, do not reveal the wanderer.
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 ।
My outcasts sojourn in you, O Moab, Be a secret hiding place for them, From the face of a destroyer, For the extortioner has ceased, Devastation has been finished, The tramplers are consumed out of the land.
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 the throne is established in kindness, And [One] has sat on it in truth, in the tent of David, Judging and seeking judgment, and hastening 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—very proud, His pride, and his arrogance, and his wrath—his boastings [are] not right.
7 त्यसैले मोआबले मोआबको निम्ति विलाप गर्नेछ— तिनीहरू सबैले विलाप गर्नेछन् । कीर-हरेशेतको किशमिशको झुप्पाको निम्ति पुर्ण रूपमा विनाश भएकाहरूले विलाप गर ।
Therefore Moab howls for Moab, all of it howls, It meditates for the grape-cakes of Kir-Hareseth, They are surely struck.
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 ।
Because fields of Heshbon languish, The vine of Sibmah, Lords of nations beat her choice vines, They have come to Jazer, They have wandered in a wilderness, Her plants have spread themselves, They have passed over a 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 I weep with the weeping of Jazer, The vine of Sibmah, I water you [with] my tear, O Heshbon and Elealeh, For—for your summer fruits, and for your harvest, The shouting has fallen.
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 joy have been removed from the fruitful field, And they do not sing in vineyards, nor shout, The treader does not tread wine in the presses, I have caused shouting to cease.
11 त्यसैले मेरो हृदयले मोआबको निम्ति र मेरो अन्तस्करणले कीर-हरेशेतको निम्ति वीणाले झैं सुस्केरा हाल्छ ।
Therefore my bowels sound as a harp for Moab, And my inward parts for Kir-Haresh.
12 जब मोआबले आफूलाई उच्च स्थानमा थकित बनाउँछ र प्रार्थना गर्न आफ्नो मन्दिरमा प्रवेश गर्छ, त्यसको प्रार्थनाले केही काम गर्नेछैन ।
And it has come to pass, when it has been seen, That Moab has been weary on the high place, And he has come to his sanctuary to pray, And is not able.
13 परमप्रभुले मोआबको बारेमा पहिले नै बोल्नुभएको वचन यही हो ।
This [is] the word that YHWH has spoken to Moab from that time,
14 फेरि परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, “मोआबको गौरव तिन वर्षभित्र हराउनेछ । त्यसको धेरै मानिहरू भए पनि बाँकी रहेकाहरू अति थोरै र नगण्य हुनेछन् ।”
And now YHWH has spoken, saying, “In three years, as years of a hired worker, The glory of Moab is lightly esteemed, With all the great multitude, And the remnant [is] little, small, not mighty!”
