यशैया 17
1 दमस्कसको बारेमा एउटा घोषणा ।
The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
2 अरोएरका सहरहरूलाई त्यागिनेछ । तिनीहरू बथानहरू बस्ने ठाउँहरू हुनेछन् र तिनीहरूलाई कसैले पनि तर्साउनेछैन ।
The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks; and they shall lie down and there shall be none to make them afraid.
3 किल्लाबन्दी गरिएका सहरहरू एफ्राइमबाट, दमस्कसको राज्यबाट लोप हुनेछन्, र अरामका बाँकी रहेकाहरू—तिनीहरू इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको गौरवझैं हुनेछन्— यो सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith Jehovah of hosts.
4 त्यो दिनमा यस्तो हुनेछ, याकूबको गौरव दुब्लो हुनेछ र त्यसको शरीरको मोटाइ पातलो हुनेछ ।
And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall become lean.
5 यो अन्न जम्मा गर्नेले अन्न थुपारेजस्तो हुनेछ, र त्यसका हातहरूले अन्न कटानी गर्छ । यो रपाईको बेसीमा शिला-बाला बटुलेजस्तो हुनेछ ।
And it shall be as when the reaper gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; yea, it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
6 जैतूनको रुखलाई हल्लाए जसरी पनि शिलाहरू छोडिनेछन्: माथिल्लो हाँगामा दुइ-तिन वटा वा फलको सबभन्दा अग्लो हाँगाहरूमा चार-पाँच वटा जैतून छोडिन्छन्— यो परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो ।
And a gleaning shall be left in it, as at the shaking of an olive-tree: two, three berries above, in the tree-top; four, five in its fruitful boughs, saith Jehovah, the God of Israel.
7 त्यस दिन मानिसहरूले आफ्ना सृष्टिकर्तालाई हेर्नेछन् र तिनीहरूका आँखाले इस्राएलका पवित्रलाई हेर्नेछन् ।
In that day shall man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have regard to the Holy One of Israel.
8 तिनीहरूले आफ्नो हातका कामहरू अर्थात् वेदीहरूतिर हेर्नेछैनन्, न त तिनीहरूले आफ्नै औंलाले बनाएका अशेराका खम्बाहरू न सूर्यका प्रतिमाहरूलाई नै हेर्नेछन् ।
And he will not look to the altars, the work of his hands, nor have regard to what his fingers have made, neither the Asherahs nor the sun-images.
9 त्यस दिन तिनीहरूका बलिया सहरहरू डाँडाका टाकुराहरूका भिरहरूमा त्यगिएका जङ्गलजस्तै हुनेछन्, जसलाई इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका कारणले त्यागिएका थिए र त्यो उजाड हुनेछ ।
In that day shall his strong cities be as the forsaken tract in the woodland, and the mountain-top which they forsook before the children of Israel; and there shall be desolation.
10 किनकि तैंले आफ्नो मुक्तिको परमेश्वरलाई बिर्सेको छस् र तेरो सामर्थ्यको चट्टानलाई बेवास्ता गरेको छस् । त्यसैले तैंले सुन्दर बिरुवाहरू रोपिस् र विदेशीबाट पाएको दाखका हाँगाहरू रोपिस्,
For thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength; therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plantations, and shalt set them with foreign slips:
11 तैंले रोपेको, बार लगाएको र खेती गरेको दिनमा । तेरा बीउहरू चाँडै वृद्धि हुनेछन्, तर कष्ट र घोर दुखको दिनमा फल दिनेछैन ।
in the day of thy planting wilt thou make [them] to grow, and on the morrow wilt thou make thy seed to flourish; [but] the harvest will flee in the day of taking possession, and the sorrow will be incurable.
12 धिक्कार! धेरै मानिसहरूको गर्जन, जुन समुद्रहरूको गर्जन, र जातिहरूका हल्लाझैं गर्जन्छ, जुन शक्तिशाली पानी बगेझैं बग्छ!
Ha! a tumult of many peoples! they make a noise as the noise of the seas; — and the rushing of nations! they rush as the rushing of mighty waters.
13 जातिहरू धेरै पानी बगेझैं गर्जन्छन्, तर उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई हप्काउनुहुनेछ र तिनीहरू टाढा भाग्नेछन्, डाँडाहरूमाथि भुसझैं तिनीहरू हावाको सामु उड्नेछन् र आँधीको सामु मडारिएको झारझैं हुनेछन् ।
The nations rush as the rushing of many waters; but he will rebuke them, and they shall flee far away, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a whirling [of dust] before the whirlwind:
14 हेर, साँझमा त्रास! बिहान हुनअगि ती बितिजानेछन्! हामीलाई लूट्नेहरू, हामीलाई डकैती गर्नेहरूको भाग यस्तै हुनेछ ।
behold, at eventide, trouble; before the morning they are not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
