यशैया 17
1 दमस्कसको बारेमा एउटा घोषणा ।
A message about Damascus. Look, Damascus will cease to exist as city. Instead it will become a pile of ruins.
2 अरोएरका सहरहरूलाई त्यागिनेछ । तिनीहरू बथानहरू बस्ने ठाउँहरू हुनेछन् र तिनीहरूलाई कसैले पनि तर्साउनेछैन ।
The towns of Aroer will be abandoned. Flocks will live in the streets and rest there, because there won't be anyone to chase them away.
3 किल्लाबन्दी गरिएका सहरहरू एफ्राइमबाट, दमस्कसको राज्यबाट लोप हुनेछन्, र अरामका बाँकी रहेकाहरू—तिनीहरू इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको गौरवझैं हुनेछन्— यो सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim, Damascus will no longer be a kingdom, and those that are left of the Arameans will be like the lost glory of Israel, declares the Lord Almighty.
4 त्यो दिनमा यस्तो हुनेछ, याकूबको गौरव दुब्लो हुनेछ र त्यसको शरीरको मोटाइ पातलो हुनेछ ।
At that time the glory of Jacob will fade away; he will lose his strength.
5 यो अन्न जम्मा गर्नेले अन्न थुपारेजस्तो हुनेछ, र त्यसका हातहरूले अन्न कटानी गर्छ । यो रपाईको बेसीमा शिला-बाला बटुलेजस्तो हुनेछ ।
It will look as empty as fields after reapers have harvested the grain, gathering up the grain in their arms. It will be like when people pick the heads of grain 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 ।
Yet there will be some left behind, like an olive tree that has been shaken—two or three ripe olives are left at the top of the tree, four or five on its lower branches, declares the Lord, the God of Israel.
7 त्यस दिन मानिसहरूले आफ्ना सृष्टिकर्तालाई हेर्नेछन् र तिनीहरूका आँखाले इस्राएलका पवित्रलाई हेर्नेछन् ।
At that time people will pay attention to their Creator and look 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 ।
They won't believe in the altars they built and the idols they made; they will not look to the Asherah poles or the altars of incense.
9 त्यस दिन तिनीहरूका बलिया सहरहरू डाँडाका टाकुराहरूका भिरहरूमा त्यगिएका जङ्गलजस्तै हुनेछन्, जसलाई इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका कारणले त्यागिएका थिए र त्यो उजाड हुनेछ ।
At that time their fortified cities will be like places left to be taken over by bushes and trees, just as they were previously abandoned when the Israelites invaded. The country will become completely desolate.
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,
You have forgotten the God who saves you; you have not remembered the Rock who protects you. So, even though you plant beautiful plants and grow exotic vines,
11 तैंले रोपेको, बार लगाएको र खेती गरेको दिनमा । तेरा बीउहरू चाँडै वृद्धि हुनेछन्, तर कष्ट र घोर दुखको दिनमा फल दिनेछैन ।
even though you make them grow on the day that you plant them, and have them blossom in the morning that you sow them, your harvest will heap of trouble on a day of grief and pain that cannot be cured.
12 धिक्कार! धेरै मानिसहरूको गर्जन, जुन समुद्रहरूको गर्जन, र जातिहरूका हल्लाझैं गर्जन्छ, जुन शक्तिशाली पानी बगेझैं बग्छ!
Disaster is coming to the many nations that growl, growling like the raging sea! Disaster is coming to the peoples who roar, roaring like thundering 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 roar like the roaring of crashing waves. But he confronts them, and they run far away, blown by the wind like chaff on the mountains, like tumbleweeds driven by a storm.
14 हेर, साँझमा त्रास! बिहान हुनअगि ती बितिजानेछन्! हामीलाई लूट्नेहरू, हामीलाई डकैती गर्नेहरूको भाग यस्तै हुनेछ ।
Sudden terror comes in the evening! By morning, they're gone! This is what happens to those who loot us, the fate of those who plunder us.
