यशैया 18
1 सुस्केराको आवाज निकाल्ने देशलाई धिक्कार, जुन कु्सका नदीहरूसँगै छ ।
Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which [is] beyond the rivers of Cush:
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 sendeth embassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, [saying], Go, ye swift messengers to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation measured by line and trodden down, whose land the rivers have laid waste.
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 dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.
4 परमप्रभुले मलाई यसो भन्नुभयो, “चर्को घामको उखुम तापजस्तै, कटानीको तापमा कुहिरोजस्तै म आफ्नो घरबाट शान्त भएर हेर्नेछु ।
For so the LORD said to me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling-place like a clear heat upon herbs, [and] 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 bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning-hooks, and take away [and] cut down the 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 fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls 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 shall the present be brought to the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation measured by line and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.
