यशैया 17
1 दमस्कसको बारेमा एउटा घोषणा ।
The doom of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is deprived of being a city, and it shall become decaying ruins.
2 अरोएरका सहरहरूलाई त्यागिनेछ । तिनीहरू बथानहरू बस्ने ठाउँहरू हुनेछन् र तिनीहरूलाई कसैले पनि तर्साउनेछैन ।
Forsaken are the cities of 'Aro'er: they shall be [given up] to flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall 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 ।
And there shall cease the fortress from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: like the glory of the children of Israel shall they be, saith the Lord of hosts.
4 त्यो दिनमा यस्तो हुनेछ, याकूबको गौरव दुब्लो हुनेछ र त्यसको शरीरको मोटाइ पातलो हुनेछ ।
And it shall come to pass on that day, that the glory of Jacob shall vanish, 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 harvestman gathereth the standing-corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as when one gleaneth 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 there shall be left on it gleaning-fruit, as one shaketh an olive-tree, two or three berries on the top of the uppermost bough, four or five on the outmost branches of a fruitful tree, saith the Lord the God of Israel.
7 त्यस दिन मानिसहरूले आफ्ना सृष्टिकर्तालाई हेर्नेछन् र तिनीहरूका आँखाले इस्राएलका पवित्रलाई हेर्नेछन् ।
On that day shall a man turn his regard up to his Maker, and his eyes shall look toward 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 shall not turn his regard to the altars, the work of his hands; and he shall not look at what his fingers have made, both the groves and 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 ।
On that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken ruin in a forest, and on a mountain-peak, which they left because of the children of Israel: and the land shall be 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,
Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and the rock of thy strength thou hast not remembered; therefore wouldst thou plant luxuriant plantings, and wouldst set out the shoots of the stranger therein.
11 तैंले रोपेको, बार लगाएको र खेती गरेको दिनमा । तेरा बीउहरू चाँडै वृद्धि हुनेछन्, तर कष्ट र घोर दुखको दिनमा फल दिनेछैन ।
[Already] on the day that thou plantedst thou causedst to grow, and in the morning thou madest thy seed to blossom; but now fleeth the harvest on the day of disease and of incurable pain.
12 धिक्कार! धेरै मानिसहरूको गर्जन, जुन समुद्रहरूको गर्जन, र जातिहरूका हल्लाझैं गर्जन्छ, जुन शक्तिशाली पानी बगेझैं बग्छ!
Woe to the raging of many people, who rage like the raging of the seas; and to the noise of nations, that make a noise like the roar 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 will make a noise like the roaring of many waters; but He will rebuke it, and it shall flee afar off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and as thistle-down before the tempest.
14 हेर, साँझमा त्रास! बिहान हुनअगि ती बितिजानेछन्! हामीलाई लूट्नेहरू, हामीलाई डकैती गर्नेहरूको भाग यस्तै हुनेछ ।
At eveningtide, behold, there is trouble; before yet it is morning it is no more. This is the portion of our spoilers, and the lot of those that plunder us.
