< यशैया 18 >
1 सुस्केराको आवाज निकाल्ने देशलाई धिक्कार, जुन कु्सका नदीहरूसँगै छ ।
Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia,
2 जसले नरकटका डुङ्गाहरूमा समुद्रहुँदै राजदूतहरू पठाउँछ । हे फुर्तिला दूतहरू, सबै अग्ला र चिल्ला जातिकहाँ जाओ, टाढा नजिकका मानिसलाई डराउनेहरू, एउटा बलियो र विजयी जाति जसको देशलाई नदीहरूले विभाजन गर्छ ।
that sends ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people fearful from their beginning onward, a nation that metes out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide!
3 तिमीहरू संसारका सबै बासिन्दाहरू र पृथ्वीमा बसोवास गर्ने, तिमीहरू जब डाँडाहरूमाथि चिन्ह उठाइन्छ, तब हेर । अनि जब तुरही बजाइन्छ तब सुन ।
All ye inhabitants of the world, and ye dwellers on the earth, when an ensign is lifted up on the mountains, see ye, and when the trumpet is blown, hear ye.
4 परमप्रभुले मलाई यसो भन्नुभयो, “चर्को घामको उखुम तापजस्तै, कटानीको तापमा कुहिरोजस्तै म आफ्नो घरबाट शान्त भएर हेर्नेछु ।
For thus Jehovah has said to me, I will be still, and I will behold in my dwelling-place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
5 कटनीअगि फूल फुल्ने समय सिद्धिएपछि र फूल दाख हुँदैगर्दा, उहाँले छाँट्ने हँसियाहरूले छाँट्नुहुनेछ र उहाँले फैलिरहेको हाँगाहरूलाई काट्नुहुनेछ र लानुहुनेछ ।
For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the sprigs with pruning-hooks, and he will take away and cut down the spreading branches.
6 डाँडाका चराहरू र पृथ्वीका जनावरहरूका निम्ति ती छोडिनेछन् । चराहरूले ग्रीष्मको समय तिनीहरूमा बिताउनेछन् र पृथ्वीका सबै जनावरहरूले तिनीहरूमा हिउँद बिताउनेछन् ।”
They shall be left together to the ravenous birds of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth. And the ravenous birds shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
7 त्यस दिन अग्ला र चिल्ला मानिसहरूले, टाढा नजिकका मानिसलाई डराउनेहरू, बलिया र विजयीले सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुलाई उपहार ल्याउने छन्, जसको देशलाई नदीहरूले विभाजन गर्छन्, तिनीहरूले सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको नाउँ भएको सियोन पर्वतमा ल्याउनेछन् ।
In that time a present shall be brought to Jehovah of hosts from a people tall and smooth, even from a people fearful from their beginning onward, a nation that metes out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of Jehovah of hosts, the mount Zion.
