यशैया 19
1 मिश्रदेशको बारेमा एउटा घोषणा । हेर, परमप्रभु द्रूत गतिको बादलमा सवार हुनुहुन्छ र मिश्रदेशतिर आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ । मिश्रदेशको मूर्तीहरू उहाँको सामु थरथर काँप्नेछन् र मिश्रीहरूको हृदयहरू भित्रभित्रै पग्लिनेछन्,
THE VISION OF EGYPT. Behold, the Lord sits on a swift cloud, and shall come to Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and their heart shall faint within them.
2 “मिश्रहरूको विरुद्धमा मिश्रीहरूलाई नै म उठाउनेछुः एक जना मनिसले आफ्नो भाइको विरुद्धमा लड्नेछ र एक जना मानिसले आफ्नो छिमेकीको विरुद्धमा लड्नेछ । सहरले सहरको विरुद्धमा र राज्यले राज्यको विरुद्धमा लड्नेछ ।
And the Egyptians shall be stirred up against the Egyptians: and a man shall fight against his brother, and a man against his neighbour, city against city, and law against law.
3 मिश्रदेशको आत्मा भित्रभित्रै कमजोर हुनेछ । तिनीहरूले मूर्तीहरूका, मृत मानिसहरूका आत्माहरूका, मन्त्रतन्त्र गर्नेहरूका र झाँक्रीहरूका सल्लाह लिए तापनि, त्यसको सल्लाहलाई म नाश पार्नेछु ।
And the spirit of the Egyptians shall be troubled within them; and I will frustrate their counsel: and they shall enquire of their gods and their images, and them that speak out of the earth, and them that have in them a divining spirit.
4 मिश्रीहरूलाई कठोर मालिको हातमा म दिनेछु र तिनीहरूमाथि बलियो राजाले राज्य गर्नेछ— यो सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”
And I will deliver Egypt into the hands of men, of cruel lords; and cruel kings shall rule over them: thus says the Lord of hosts.
5 समुद्रका पानीहरू सुक्नेछन्, अनि नदीहरू सुक्नेछन् र रित्तो हुनेछन् ।
And the Egyptians shall drink the water that is by the sea, but the river shall fail, and be dried up.
6 नदीहरू दूषित हुनेछन् । मिश्रदेशका नदीहरू सुक्नेछन् र सुख्खा हुनेछन् । नर्कटहरू र काँसहरू ओइलाउनेछन् ।
And the streams shall fail, and the canals of the river; and every reservoir of water shall be dried up, in every marsh also of reed and papyrus.
7 नील नदीको मुखमा नील नदीको किनारका नर्कटहरू र नील नदीको छेउमा बीउ छरिएका खेत सुख्खा हुनेछन्, बतासले उडाउनेछन् र रहनेछैनन् ।
And all the green herbage round about the river, and everything sown by the side of the river, shall be blasted with the wind and dried up.
8 जालाहरीहरूले विलाप र शोक गर्नेछन्, र नील नदीमा बल्छी हान्ने सबै जनाले विलाप गर्नेछ, पानीहरूमाथि आफ्नो जाल फिजाउनेहरूले शोक गर्नेछन् ।
And the fishermen shall groan, and all that cast a hook into the river shall groan; they also that cast nets, and the anglers shall mourn.
9 बाटेको सनपटका कामदारहरू र सेतो कपडा बुन्नेहरू निराश हुनेछन् ।
And shame shall come upon them that work fine flax, and them that make fine linen.
10 मिश्रदेशमा कपडाको काम गर्नेहरूलाई कुल्चिइनेछ । ज्यालामा काम गर्नेहरू सबैले भित्रभित्रै शोक गर्नेछन् ।
And they that work at them shall be in pain, and all that make beer shall be grieved, and be pained in their souls.
11 सोअनका शआसकहरू पुर्ण रूपमा मूर्ख छन् । फारोका सबैभन्दा बुद्धिमान्को सल्लाह व्यार्थको भएको छ । तिमीहरूले फारोलाई कसरी भन्न सक्छौ, “म बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूका छोरा, प्राचीन राजाहरूका छोरा हुँ ।”
And the princes of Tanis shall be fools: [as for] the king's wise counsellors, their counsel shall be turned into folly: how will you say to the king, we are sons of wise men, sons of ancient kings?
12 तेरा बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरू कहाँ छन्? सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले मिश्रदेशको बारेमा कस्तो योजना बनाउनुभएको छ भनी तिनीहरूले तँलाई बताऊन् र प्रकट गरून् ।
Where are now your wise men? and let them declare to you, and say, What has the Lord of hosts purposed upon Egypt?
13 सोअनका शासकहरू मूर्ख बनेका छन्, नोपका शासकहरू धोकामा परेका छन् । तिनीहरूले मिश्रदेशलाई पथभ्रष्ट बनाएका छन्, जो त्यसका कुलहरूका कुनेढुङ्गाहरू हुन् ।
The princes of Tanis have failed, and the princes of Memphis are lifted up [with pride], and they shall cause Egypt to wander by tribes.
14 परमप्रभुले त्यसको माझमा विकृतिको आत्मा मिसाउनुभएको छ र मिश्रदेशले गर्ने सबै कुरामा आफ्नो बान्तामा लडीबडी गर्ने जड्याँहाजस्तै पथभ्रष्ट तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई बनाएका छन् ।
For the Lord has prepared for them a spirit of error, and they have caused Egypt to err in all their works, as one staggers who is drunken and vomits also.
15 मिश्रदेशको निम्ति शिर वा पुच्छर वा खजूरको हाँगा वा नर्कट, कसैले केही गर्न सक्दैन ।
And there shall be no work to the Egyptians, which shall make head or tail, or beginning or end.
16 त्यस दिनमा, मिश्रीहरू स्त्रीहरूजस्ता हुनेछन् । सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूमाथि उठाउनुहुने हातको कारणले तिनीहरू थरथर काँप्नेछन् र डराउनेछन् ।
But in that day the Egyptians shall be as women, in fear and in trembling because of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he shall bring upon them.
17 यहूदाको देश मिश्रदेशलाई लरखराउने बनाउने कारण बन्नेछ । जब कसैले त्यसलाई तिनीहरूको याद दिलाउँछ, तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा परमप्रभुले योजना बनाउँदै गर्नुभएको उहाँको योजनाको कारणले तिनीहरू भयभिय हुनेछन् ।
And the land of the Jews shall be for a terror to the Egyptians: whoever shall name it to them, they shall fear, because of the counsel which the Lord of hosts has purposed concerning it.
18 त्यस दिनमा मिश्रदेश पाँच वटा सहरहरू हुनेछन् जसले कनानको भाषा बोल्नेछन् र सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुप्रति निष्ठाको शपथ खानेछन् । यिमध्ये एउटालाई सूर्यको सहर भनिनेछ ।
In that day there shall be five cities in Egypt speaking the language of Chanaan, and swearing by the name of the Lord of hosts; one city shall be called the city of Asedec.
19 त्यस दिन मिश्रदेशको माझमा परमप्रभुको एउटा वेदी हुनेछ र त्यसको छेउमा परमप्रभुको निम्ति ढुङ्गाको स्मारक हुनेछ ।
In that day there shall be an altar to the Lord in the land of the Egyptians, and a pillar to the Lord by its border.
20 मिश्रदेशमा यो सर्वशक्तिमान् परप्रभुको निम्ति एउटा चिन्ह र गवाहीको रूपमा हुनेछ । अत्याचारीहरूको कारणले तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुमा पुकारा गर्दा, उहाँले तिनीहरूका निम्ति एउटा उद्धारक र एक जना रक्षक पठाउनुहुनेछ र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिनुहुनेछ ।
And it shall be for a sign to the Lord for ever in the land of Egypt: for they shall presently cry to the Lord by reason of them that afflict them, and he shall send them a man who shall save them; he shall judge and save them.
21 मिश्रदेशले परमप्रभुलाई चिन्नेछ र त्यस दिन मिश्रीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई स्वीकार गर्नेछन् । तिनीहरूले बलिदानहरू र भेटीहरूसित आराधना गर्नेछन्, अनि परमप्रभुको निम्ति भाकल गर्नेछन् र ती पुरा गर्नेछन् ।
And the Lord shall be known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day; and they shall offer sacrifices, and shall vow vows to the Lord, and pay [them].
22 परमप्रभुले मिश्रदेशलाई कष्ट दिंदै र निको पार्दै कष्ट दिनुहुनेछ । तिनीहरू परमप्रभुतिर फर्किनेछन् । उहाँले तिनीहरूको प्रार्थना सुन्नुहुनेछ र तिनीहरूलाई निको पार्नुहुनेछ ।
And the Lord shall strike the Egyptians with a stroke, and shall completely heal them: and they shall return to the Lord, and he shall hear them, and thoroughly heal them.
23 त्यस दिनमा मिश्रदेशदेखि अश्शूरसम्म जाने एउटा मुल बाटो हुनेछ, अनि अश्शूरीहरू मिश्रदेशमा आउनेछन् र मिश्रीहरू अश्शूरमा जानेछन् । अनि मिश्रीहरूले अश्शूरीहरूसँगै आराधना गर्नेछन् ।
In that day there shall be a way from Egypt to the Assyrians, and the Assyrians shall enter into Egypt, and the Egyptians shall go to the Assyrians, and the Egyptians shall serve the Assyrians.
24 त्यस दिनमा मिश्रदेश र अश्शूरसँगै इस्राएल पृथ्वीको माझमा आशिष्मा तेस्रो हुनेछ ।
In that day shall Israel be third with the Egyptians and the Assyrians, blessed in the land which the Lord of hosts has blessed,
25 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुहुनेछ र भन्नुहुनेछ, “ए मेरा मानिस, मिश्रदेश धन्यको होओ । मेरो हातको काम अश्शूर । मेरो उत्तराधिकार इस्राएल ।”
saying, Blessed be my people that is in Egypt, and that is amongst the Assyrians, and Israel mine inheritance.
