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 burden of Egypt. Lo, Jehovah is riding on a swift thick cloud, And He hath entered Egypt, And moved have been the idols of Egypt at His presence, And the heart of Egypt melteth in its midst.

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 I armed Egyptians against Egyptians, And they fought, each against his brother, And each against his neighbour, City against city, kingdom against kingdom.

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

And emptied out hath been in its midst the spirit of Egypt. And its counsel I swallow up, And they have sought unto the idols, And unto the charmers, And unto those having familiar spirits, And unto the wizards.

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

And I have delivered the Egyptians Into the hand of a hard lord, And a strong king doth rule over them, An affirmation of the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts.

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

And failed have waters from the sea, And a river is wasted and dried up.

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

And they have turned away the flowings, Weak and dried up have been brooks of the bulwark, Reed and flag have withered.

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

Exposed things by the brook, by the edge of the brook, And every sown thing of the brook, hath withered, It hath been driven away, and is not.

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

And lamented have the fishers, And mourned have all casting angle into a brook, And those spreading nets on the face of the waters have languished.

9 बाटेको सनपटका कामदारहरू र सेतो कपडा बुन्‍नेहरू निराश हुनेछन् ।

And ashamed have been makers of fine flax, And weavers of net-works.

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

And its foundations have been smitten, All making wages [are] afflicted in soul.

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 ।”

Only, fools [are] the princes of Zoan, The counsel of the wise ones of the counsellors of Pharaoh hath become brutish. How say ye unto Pharaoh, 'A son of the wise am I, a son of kings of antiquity?'

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

Where [are] they now, thy wise ones? Yea, let them tell to thee, I pray thee, And they know what Jehovah of Hosts hath counselled against Egypt!

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

Foolish have been princes of Zoan, Lifted up have been princes of Noph, And they have caused Egypt to err, The chief of her tribes.

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

Jehovah hath mingled in her midst A spirit of perverseness, And they have caused Egypt to err in all its work, As a drunkard erreth in his vomit.

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

And there is no work to Egypt, That head or tail, branch or reed, may do.

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

In that day is Egypt like women, And it hath mourned, and been afraid, Because of the waving of the hand of Jehovah of Hosts, That He is waving over it.

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 Judah hath been to Egypt for a cause of staggering, Every one who doth mention it, for himself feareth, Because of the counsel of Jehovah of Hosts, That He is counselling against 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 are five cities in the land of Egypt, Speaking the lip of Canaan, And swearing to Jehovah of Hosts, 'The city of destruction,' is said of one.

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

In that day there is an altar to Jehovah In the midst of the land of Egypt, And a standing pillar near its border to Jehovah,

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 hath been for a sign and for a testimony, To Jehovah of Hosts in the land of Egypt, For they cry unto Jehovah from the face of oppressors, And He sendeth to them a saviour, Even a great one, and hath delivered 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 known hath been Jehovah to Egypt, And the Egyptians have known Jehovah in that day, And done sacrifice and present, And vowed a vow to Jehovah, and completed [it].

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

And Jehovah hath smitten Egypt, smiting and healing, And they have turned back unto Jehovah, And He hath been entreated of them, And hath healed 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 is a highway out of Egypt to Asshur, And come in have the Assyrians to Egypt, And the Egyptians into Asshur, And the Egyptians have served with the Assyrians.

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

In that day is Israel third, After Egypt, and after Asshur, A blessing in the heart of the earth.

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

In that Jehovah of Hosts did bless it, saying, 'Blessed [is] My people — Egypt, And the work of My hands — Asshur, And Mine inheritance — Israel!'
