यशैया 16
1 उजाड-स्थानको सेलाको देशबाट सियोन पर्वतको छोरीको शासकलाई थुमाहरू पठाओ ।
Send ye the lambs for the ruler of the land from Sela [which is] toward the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.
2 जसरी चराहरू भौंतारिन्छन् र जसरी गुँड छरपष्ट पारिन्छ, मोआबका स्त्रीहरू अर्नोनका जाँघारहरूमा तेस्तै भएका छन् ।
For it shall be that, as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so shall the daughters of Moab be at the fords of Arnon.
3 “निर्देशन दओ, न्याय गर । मध्य दिनमा पनि रातको जस्तै केही सितलता प्रदान गर । भगौडाहरूलाई लुकाओ । भगौडाहरूलाई धोका नदेओ ।
Give counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday: hide the outcasts; bewray not 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 ।
Let mine outcasts dwell with thee; as for Moab, be thou a covert to him from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is brought to nought, spoiling ceaseth, the oppressors 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 a throne shall be established in mercy, and one shall sit thereon in truth, in the tent of David; judging, and seeking judgment, and swift to do 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, [that] he is very proud; even of his arrogancy, and his pride, and his wrath; his boastings are nought.
7 त्यसैले मोआबले मोआबको निम्ति विलाप गर्नेछ— तिनीहरू सबैले विलाप गर्नेछन् । कीर-हरेशेतको किशमिशको झुप्पाको निम्ति पुर्ण रूपमा विनाश भएकाहरूले विलाप गर ।
Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the raisin-cakes of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn, utterly stricken.
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 ।
For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah; the lords of the nations have broken down the choice plants thereof; they reached even unto Jazer, they wandered into the wilderness; her branches were spread abroad, they passed over 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 I will weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for upon thy summer fruits and upon thy harvest the [battle] shout is 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 is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither joyful noise: no treader shall tread out wine in the presses; I have made the [vintage] shout to cease.
11 त्यसैले मेरो हृदयले मोआबको निम्ति र मेरो अन्तस्करणले कीर-हरेशेतको निम्ति वीणाले झैं सुस्केरा हाल्छ ।
Wherefore my bowels sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir-heres.
12 जब मोआबले आफूलाई उच्च स्थानमा थकित बनाउँछ र प्रार्थना गर्न आफ्नो मन्दिरमा प्रवेश गर्छ, त्यसको प्रार्थनाले केही काम गर्नेछैन ।
And it shall come to pass, when Moab presenteth himself, when he wearieth himself upon the high place, and shall come to his sanctuary to pray, that he shall not prevail.
13 परमप्रभुले मोआबको बारेमा पहिले नै बोल्नुभएको वचन यही हो ।
This is the word that the LORD spake concerning Moab in time past.
14 फेरि परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, “मोआबको गौरव तिन वर्षभित्र हराउनेछ । त्यसको धेरै मानिहरू भए पनि बाँकी रहेकाहरू अति थोरै र नगण्य हुनेछन् ।”
But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and of no account.
