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,

[I received] this message [from Yahweh] about Egypt: “Listen to this! I, Yahweh, am coming to Egypt, riding on a fast-moving cloud. The idols in Egypt will tremble when [I appear], and the people of Egypt will be extremely afraid [IDM].

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 ।

I will cause the people of Egypt to fight against each other: men will fight against their brothers, neighbors will fight against each other, people of one city will fight against the people of another city, people of one province will fight against the people of another province.

3 मिश्रदेशको आत्‍मा भित्रभित्रै कमजोर हुनेछ । तिनीहरूले मूर्तीहरूका, मृत मानिसहरूका आत्माहरूका, मन्त्रतन्त्र गर्नेहरूका र झाँक्रीहरूका सल्लाह लिए तापनि, त्यसको सल्लाहलाई म नाश पार्नेछु ।

The people of Egypt will become very discouraged, and I will cause their plans not to be successful. They will plead with idols and sorcerers and those who talk with spirits of dead people to tell them what they should do.

4 मिश्रीहरूलाई कठोर मालिको हातमा म दिनेछु र तिनीहरूमाथि बलियो राजाले राज्‍य गर्नेछ— यो सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”

Then I will enable someone who will treat them very cruelly to become their king [DOU].” That is what I, the Commander of the armies of angels, say.

5 समुद्रका पानीहरू सुक्‍नेछन्, अनि नदीहरू सुक्‍नेछन् र रित्तो हुनेछन् ।

[Some day] the water in the [Nile] River will dry up, and the riverbed will become very dry [DOU].

6 नदीहरू दूषित हुनेछन् । मिश्रदेशका नदीहरू सुक्‍नेछन् र सुख्‍खा हुनेछन् । नर्कटहरू र काँसहरू ओइलाउनेछन् ।

The branches of the river will all dry up [DOU] The canals along the river will stink because of the rotting reeds and (bulrushes/tall grass).

7 नील नदीको मुखमा नील नदीको किनारका नर्कटहरू र नील नदीको छेउमा बीउ छरिएका खेत सुख्‍खा हुनेछन्, बतासले उडाउनेछन् र रहनेछैनन् ।

All the plants along the river and all the crops will dry up; then they will blow away and disappear.

8 जालाहरीहरूले विलाप र शोक गर्नेछन्, र नील नदीमा बल्‍छी हान्‍ने सबै जनाले विलाप गर्नेछ, पानीहरूमाथि आफ्नो जाल फिजाउनेहरूले शोक गर्नेछन् ।

The fishermen will throw into the river lines with hooks on them and nets, and then they will groan and be very discouraged; they will be sad [because there will be no fish in the river].

9 बाटेको सनपटका कामदारहरू र सेतो कपडा बुन्‍नेहरू निराश हुनेछन् ।

Those who weave cloth from flax will not know what to do, because there will be no thread for them to weave.

10 मिश्रदेशमा कपडाको काम गर्नेहरूलाई कुल्चिइनेछ । ज्यालामा काम गर्नेहरू सबैले भित्रभित्रै शोक गर्नेछन् ।

They will all despair and be very discouraged.

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 ।”

The officials in Zoan [city in northern Egypt] are foolish. The advice that they gave to the king was worthless. Why do they continue to tell the king that they are wise, that they are descendants of wise kings who lived long ago [RHQ]?

12 तेरा बुद्धिमान्‌ मानिसहरू कहाँ छन्? सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले मिश्रदेशको बारेमा कस्‍तो योजना बनाउनुभएको छ भनी तिनीहरूले तँलाई बताऊन् र प्रकट गरून् ।

King, (where are your wise counselors now?/You have no wise counselors now!) [RHQ] If you had any wise counselors, they could tell you what the Commander of the armies of angels has planned to do to Egypt [SAR]!

13 सोअनका शासकहरू मूर्ख बनेका छन्, नोपका शासकहरू धोकामा परेका छन् । तिनीहरूले मिश्रदेशलाई पथभ्रष्‍ट बनाएका छन्, जो त्यसका कुलहरूका कुनेढुङ्गाहरू हुन् ।

[Yes], the officials of Zoan have become foolish, and the leaders in Memphis [city in northern Egypt] have deceived themselves. [All] leaders of the people have (caused their people to do wrong things/led their people astray).

14 परमप्रभुले त्यसको माझमा विकृतिको आत्मा मिसाउनुभएको छ र मिश्रदेशले गर्ने सबै कुरामा आफ्नो बान्तामा लडीबडी गर्ने जड्याँहाजस्तै पथभ्रष्‍ट तिनीहरूले त्‍यसलाई बनाएका छन् ।

Yahweh has caused them to be very foolish, with the result that in everything that they do, [it is as though the people of] Egypt stagger like [SIM] a drunken person staggers [and slips] in his own vomit.

15 मिश्रदेशको निम्ति शिर वा पुच्छर वा खजूरको हाँगा वा नर्कट, कसैले केही गर्न सक्दैन ।

There is no one in Egypt, rich or poor, important or unimportant, [who will be able to help them].

16 त्यस दिनमा, मिश्रीहरू स्‍त्रीहरूजस्ता हुनेछन् । सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूमाथि उठाउनुहुने हातको कारणले तिनीहरू थरथर काँप्‍नेछन् र डराउनेछन् ।

At that time, the people of Egypt will be [as helpless] as [SIM] women. They will tremble, being terrified [because they know that] the Commander of the armies of angels has raised his fist, [ready to strike/punish 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 ।

The people of Egypt will be afraid of the people of Judah, and anyone who mentions Judah to them will cause them to be terrified, because [that will remind them] of what Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels, is planning to do to them.

18 त्यस दिनमा मिश्रदेश पाँच वटा सहरहरू हुनेछन् जसले कनानको भाषा बोल्‍नेछन् र सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुप्रति निष्ठाको शपथ खानेछन् । यिमध्ये एउटालाई सूर्यको सहर भनिनेछ ।

At that time, [people in] five cities in Egypt will solemnly declare that they will serve Yahweh. They will [learn to] speak the Hebrew language. One of those cities will be called ‘City of the Sun’.

19 त्यस दिन मिश्रदेशको माझमा परमप्रभुको एउटा वेदी हुनेछ र त्‍यसको छेउमा परमप्रभुको निम्ति ढुङ्गाको स्‍मारक हुनेछ ।

At that time, there will be an altar for worshiping Yahweh in the center of Egypt, and there will be a (pillar/large rock) to honor Yahweh at the border [between Egypt and Israel].

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 ।

That will be a sign to indicate that the Commander of the armies of angels is worshiped in the land of Egypt. And when the people cry out to Yahweh to help them because others are (oppressing them/causing them to suffer), he will send to them someone who will defend and rescue 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 ।

Yahweh will enable the people of Egypt to know who he is, and at that time they will have a close relationship with Yahweh and worship him and bring to him offerings of grain and other sacrifices. They will solemnly promise to do things for Yahweh, and they will do what they promise.

22 परमप्रभुले मिश्रदेशलाई कष्‍ट दिंदै र निको पार्दै कष्‍ट दिनुहुनेछ । तिनीहरू परमप्रभुतिर फर्किनेछन् । उहाँले तिनीहरूको प्रार्थना सुन्‍नुहुनेछ र तिनीहरूलाई निको पार्नुहुनेछ ।

After Yahweh has punished Egypt, he will cause their troubles to end. The people of Egypt will turn to Yahweh, and he will listen when they plead to him [for help], and he will cause their troubles to cease.

23 त्यस दिनमा मिश्रदेशदेखि अश्शूरसम्म जाने एउटा मुल बाटो हुनेछ, अनि अश्शूरीहरू मिश्रदेशमा आउनेछन् र मिश्रीहरू अश्शूरमा जानेछन् । अनि मिश्रीहरूले अश्शूरीहरूसँगै आराधना गर्नेछन् ।

At that time, there will be a highway between Egypt and Assyria. [As a result], the people of Egypt will [be able to] travel [easily] to Assyria, and the people of Assyria [will be able to travel easily] to Egypt. And the people of both countries will worship [Yahweh].

24 त्यस दिनमा मिश्रदेश र अश्शूरसँगै इस्राएल पृथ्वीको माझमा आशिष्‌मा तेस्रो हुनेछ ।

And Israel will be their ally. All three nations will be [friendly to] each other, and the people of Israel will be a blessing to the people of the entire world.

25 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुहुनेछ र भन्‍नुहुनेछ, “ए मेरा मानिस, मिश्रदेश धन्यको होओ । मेरो हातको काम अश्शूर । मेरो उत्तराधिकार इस्राएल ।”

The Commander of the armies of angels will bless them, saying, “[You people of] Egypt are now my people. You people of Assyria, I have established your country. You people of Israel are the people whom I have chosen to belong to me.”
