< यशैया 2 >
1 आमोसका छोरा यशैयाले यहूदा र यरूशलेमका बारेमा दर्शनमा दखेका कुराहरू ।
The word which Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw about Judah and Jerusalem.
2 अन्तका दिनहरूमा यस्तो हुनेछ परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको पर्वतलाई सबैभन्दा उच्च पर्वतहरूझैं स्थापित गरिनेछ, र डाँडाहरूभन्दा माथि त्यो उचालिनेछ, र सबै जातिहरू यतैतिर आउनेछन् ।
And it will come about in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord will be placed on the top of the mountains, and be lifted up over the hills; and all nations will come to it.
3 धेरै जना मानिसहरू आउनेछन् र भन्नेछन्, “आओ, परमप्रभुको पर्वत, याकूबका परमेश्वरको भवनमा माथि जाऔं, ताकि उहाँले आफ्ना केही मार्गहरू हामीलाई सिकाउनु भएको होस् र हामी उहाँका मार्गहरूमा हिंड्न सकौं ।” किनकि सियोनबाट नै व्यावस्था र यरूशलेमबाट नै परमप्रभुको वचन जानेछ ।
And the peoples will say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob: and he will give us knowledge of his ways, and we will be guided by his word; for out of Zion the law will go out, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 उहाँले जातिहरूका बिचमा न्याय गर्नुहुनेछ र धेरै जना मानिसहरूका निम्ति निर्णय दिनुहुनेछ । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना तरवारहरू पिटेर फालीहरू र आफ्ना भालाहरू पिटेर हँसियाहरू बनाउनेछन् । एउटा जातिले अर्को जातिको विरुद्धमा तरवार उठाउनेछैन, न त तिनीहरूले फेरि युद्धको निम्ति तालिम नै दिनेछन् ।
And he will be the judge between the nations, and the peoples will be ruled by his decisions: and their swords will be turned into plough-blades, and their spears into vine-knives: no longer will the nations be turning their swords against one another, and the knowledge of war will be gone for ever.
5 ए याकूबको घराना हो, आओ र परमप्रभुको प्रकाशमा हिंडौं ।
O family of Jacob, come, and let us go in the light of the Lord.
6 किनकि तपाईंले याकूबको घराना, आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई त्याग्नुभएको छ, किनभने तिनीहरू पुर्वका प्रचलनले भरिएका छन् र पलिश्तीहरूले झैं तिनीहरू जोखना हेर्छन्, र तिनीहरूले विदेशीका छोराहरूसँग हात मिलाउँछन् ।
For you, O Lord, have given up your people, the family of Jacob, because they are full of the evil ways of the east, and make use of secret arts like the Philistines, and are friends with the children of strange countries.
7 तिनीहरूका देश सुन र चाँदीले भरिएको छ र तिनीहरूका सम्पत्तिको कुनै कमी छैन । तिनीहरूका देश घोडाहरूले पुर्ण छ, न त तिनीहरूका रथहरूको नै कुनै कमी छ ।
And their land is full of silver and gold, and there is no end to their stores; their land is full of horses, and there is no end to their carriages.
8 तिनीहरूको देश मूर्तीहरूले पनि भरिएको छ । तिनीहरूले आफ्नै हातहरूका कलाको, तिनीहरूका आफ्नै औंलाहरूले बनाएका कुराहरूको पुजा गर्छन् ।
Their land is full of images; they give worship to the work of their hands, even to that which their fingers have made.
9 मानिहरूलाई झुकाइनेछन् र व्यक्तिहरू घोप्टिनेछन् । त्यसकारण तिनीहरूलाई नउठाउनुहोस्।
And the poor man's head is bent, and the great man goes down on his face: for this cause there will be no forgiveness for their sin.
10 चट्टानका ठाउँहरूमा जाओ र परमप्रभुको त्रास र उहाँको वैभवको महिमाबाट जमिनमा लुक ।
Go into a hole in the rock, covering yourselves with dust, in fear of the Lord, before the glory of his power.
11 मानिसहको अहङ्कारी हेराइलाई तल झारिनेछ र मानिसहरूको घमण्डलाई तल पारिनेछ, अनि त्यो दिन परमप्रभुलाई मात्र उचालिनेछ ।
The high looks of man will be put to shame, and the pride of men will be made low, and only the Lord will be lifted up in that day.
12 किनकि घमण्ड गर्ने र उच्च पारिएका हरेकको विरुद्धमा, र हरेक अहङ्कारीको विरुद्धमा परमप्रभुको दिन आउनेछ— र त्यसलाई तल झारिनेछ—
For the day of the Lord of armies is coming on all the pride of men, and on all who are high and lifted up;
13 र लेबनानका अग्ला र माथि उठेका सबै देवदारुका विरुद्धमा, र बाशानका सबै फँलाटका विरुद्धमा हुनेछ ।
And on all the high trees of Lebanon, and on all the strong trees of Bashan;
14 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको त्यो दिन सबै अग्ला पर्वतका विरुद्धमा, माथि उठेका सबै डाँडाका विरुद्धमा,
And on all the high mountains, and on all the hills which are lifted up;
15 र हरेक अग्ला धरहराका विरुद्धमा, छेड्नै नसक्ने हरेक पर्खालका विरुद्धमा,
And on every high tower, and on every strong wall;
16 र तर्शीशका सबै पानी जहाजका विरुद्धमा र सबै सुन्दर जहाजका विरुद्धमा हुनेछ ।
And on all the ships of Tarshish, and on all the fair boats.
17 मानिसको घमण्डलाई तल झारिनेछ र मानिसहरूका हठको पतन हुनेछ । त्यो दिनमा परमप्रभु मात्र उच्च पारिनुहुनेछ ।
And the high looks of man will be put to shame, and the pride of men will be made low: and only the Lord will be lifted up in that day.
18 मूर्तीहरू पुर्ण रूपमा बितेर जानेछन् ।
And the images will never be seen again.
19 पृथ्वीलाई त्रासमा पार्न जब परमप्रभु खडा हुनुहुन्छ, तब मानिसहरू उहाँको त्रास र उहाँको वैभवको महिमाबाट लुक्न चट्टानहरूका गुफाहरू र जमिनको दुलोहरू भित्र पस्नेछन् ।
And men will go into cracks of the rocks, and into holes of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and before the glory of his power, when he comes out of his place, shaking the earth with his strength.
20 त्यस दिन मानिहरूले सुन र चाँदीका आफ्ना मूर्तीहरू फाल्नेछन्, जसको पुजा गर्न तिनीहरू आफैले बनाएका छन्— ती तिनीहरूले छुचुन्द्रा र चमेराहरूका अगि फाल्नेछन् ।
In that day men will put their images of silver and of gold, which they made for worship, in the keeping of the beasts of the dark places;
21 पृथ्वीलाई त्रासमा पार्न जब परमप्रभु खडा हुनुहुन्छ, तब मानिसहरू उहाँको त्रास र उहाँको वैभवको महिमाबाट लुक्न चट्टानहरूका प्वालहरू र कडा चट्टानहरूका कन्दराहरूमा पस्नेछन् ।
To take cover in the cracks of the rocks, and in the holes of the hills, for fear of the Lord, and before the glory of his power, when he comes out of his place, shaking the earth with his strength.
22 मानिस भरोसा गर्न छोड, जसको जिवनको सास नाकका प्वालहरूमा हुन्छ, किनकि उसको के मूल्य हुन्छ र?
Have no more to do with man, whose life is only a breath, for he is of no value.
