< यशैया 2 >

1 आमोसका छोरा यशैयाले यहूदा र यरूशलेमका बारेमा दर्शनमा दखेका कुराहरू ।
The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz foresaw concerning 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 shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be firmly established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and unto it shall flow all the nations.
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 many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us of his ways, and we may walk in his paths; for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord out of 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 judge among the nations, and decide for many people; and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-knives: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, and they shall not learn any more war.
5 ए याकूबको घराना हो, आओ र परमप्रभुको प्रकाशमा हिंडौं ।
O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk 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 thou hast abandoned thy people, the house of Jacob, because they are full of [witchcraft] more than the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and with the children of strangers they unite themselves.
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 full became their land of silver and gold, and there is no end to their treasures; and full became their land of horses, and there is no end to their chariots;
8 तिनीहरूको देश मूर्तीहरूले पनि भरिएको छ । तिनीहरूले आफ्नै हातहरूका कलाको, तिनीहरूका आफ्‍नै औंलाहरूले बनाएका कुराहरूको पुजा गर्छन् ।
And full became their land of idols; to the work of their own hands they bow themselves, to what their own fingers have made.
9 मानिहरूलाई झुकाइनेछन् र व्‍यक्‍तिहरू घोप्‍टिनेछन् । त्‍यसकारण तिनीहरूलाई नउठाउनुहोस्।
And so is bent down the son of earth, and humbled the man; and thou wilt not forgive them.
10 चट्टानका ठाउँहरूमा जाओ र परमप्रभुको त्रास र उहाँको वैभवको महिमाबाट जमिनमा लुक ।
Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, because of the dread of the Lord, and because of the glory of his majesty.
11 मानिसहको अहङ्कारी हेराइलाई तल झारिनेछ र मानिसहरूको घमण्डलाई तल पारिनेछ, अनि त्‍यो दिन परमप्रभुलाई मात्र उचालिनेछ ।
The looks of human pride shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bent down: and exalted shall be the Lord alone on that day.
12 किनकि घमण्ड गर्ने र उच्‍च पारिएका हरेकको विरुद्धमा, र हरेक अहङ्कारीको विरुद्धमा परमप्रभुको दिन आउनेछ— र त्यसलाई तल झारिनेछ—
For there is a day [of judgment] unto the Lord of hosts over every proud and lofty one; and over every exalted one, that he be brought low;
13 र लेबनानका अग्ला र माथि उठेका सबै देवदारुका विरुद्धमा, र बाशानका सबै फँलाटका विरुद्धमा हुनेछ ।
And over all the cedars of the Lebanon, the high and exalted, and over all the oaks of Bashan;
14 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको त्यो दिन सबै अग्‍ला पर्वतका विरुद्धमा, माथि उठेका सबै डाँडाका विरुद्धमा,
And over all the high mountains, and over all the exalted hills;
15 र हरेक अग्ला धरहराका विरुद्धमा, छेड्‍नै नसक्‍ने हरेक पर्खालका विरुद्धमा,
And over every high tower, and over every fortified wall;
16 र तर्शीशका सबै पानी जहाजका विरुद्धमा र सबै सुन्दर जहाजका विरुद्धमा हुनेछ ।
And over all the ships of Tharshish; and over all desirable palaces.
17 मानिसको घमण्डलाई तल झारिनेछ र मानिसहरूका हठको पतन हुनेछ । त्यो दिनमा परमप्रभु मात्र उच्‍च पारिनुहुनेछ ।
And the pride of man shall be bent down, and the haughtiness of men shall be humbled: and exalted shall be the Lord alone on that day.
18 मूर्तीहरू पुर्ण रूपमा बितेर जानेछन् ।
And the idols will he utterly abolish.
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 shall enter into the caverns of rocks, and into the rifts of the earth, because of the dread of the Lord, and because of the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to terrify the earth.
20 त्यस दिन मानिहरूले सुन र चाँदीका आफ्ना मूर्तीहरू फाल्‍नेछन्, जसको पुजा गर्न तिनीहरू आफैले बनाएका छन्— ती तिनीहरूले छुचुन्द्रा र चमेराहरूका अगि फाल्‍नेछन् ।
On that day shall a man cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which have been made for him to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
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 enter into the clefts of the rocks, and into the hollows of the cliffs, because of the dread of the Lord, and because of the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to terrify the earth.
22 मानिस भरोसा गर्न छोड, जसको जिवनको सास नाकका प्वालहरूमा हुन्छ, किनकि उसको के मूल्य हुन्छ र?
Withdraw yourselves [then] from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; because, for what is he to be esteemed?
