< यशैया 22 >

1 दर्शनको बेसीको विषयमा एउटा घोषणाः के कारणले तिमीहरू सबै जना घरको छतमाथि गएका छौ?
The oracle on the valley of vision, —What aileth thee, then, That thou art wholly gone up to the house-tops?
2 होहल्लाले भरिएको सहर र खुसीले भरिएको नगरका आवाजहरू सुन्‍नलाई तिमीहरूले त्‍यसो गरेका हौ? तिमीहरूका मृतहरू तरवारले मारिएको थिएनन् र तिनीहरू युद्धमा मरेनन् ।
With tumults, art thou filled, thou citadel in commotion! city exultant! Thy slain, are Not the slain, of the sword, Nor the dead in battle.
3 तिमीहरूका सबै शासकहरू एकसाथ भागे, तर धनु समेत प्रयोग नगरी तिनीहरू समातिए । तिनीहरू धेरै टाढा भागेका थिए तापनि तिनीहरू सबै जना एकसाथ समातिए ।
All thy ruler, having fled, together, by the bow, are taken captive: All found in thee have been taken captive, together, Far away, have they fled.
4 यसकारण मैले भनें, “मलाई नहेर, म धुरुधुरु रुनेछु । मेरा मानिसहरूका छोरीको विनाशको बारेमा मलाई सान्त्वना दिने कोसिस नगर ।”
For this cause, I said—Look away from me, Bitterly, will I weep, —Do not press to comfort me, For the ruin of the daughter of my people.
5 किनकि दर्शनको बेसीमा सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको निम्‍ति कोलाहल, कुल्चिने अलमल पार्ने र पर्खालहरू भत्काउने र मानिसहरू डाँडाहरूतिर रुने दिन हो ।
For a day of confusion and downtreading and perplexity, pertaineth to My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, in the valley of vision, an undermining of walls, and a crying for help to the mountain.
6 रथीहरू र घोडचढीहरूका साथमा एलामले ठोक्रो लिनेछ र कीरले ढाललाई नाङ्गो बनाउछ ।
Yea, Elam, beareth the quiver, With trains of men, [and] horsemen, —And, Kir, hath uncovered the shield.
7 तेरा उत्तम बेसीहरू रथहरूले भरिनेछन् र घोडचढीहरूले ढोकाहरूमा आफ्‍ना ठाउँ ओगट्नेछन् ।
And it hath come to pass that the choice of thy vales, are full of chariots; Yea, the horsemen, have set themselves, in array, at the gate.
8 उहाँले यहूदाको सुरक्षालाई हटाउनुभयो । तिमीहरूले त्यस दिन वनको महलमा हतियारहरू हेर्‍यौ ।
Then removed he the veil of Judah, —Yea thou didst peer on that day, into the armoury of the forest-house;
9 तिमीहरूले दाऊदका सहरका प्‍वालहरू देख्यौ, ती धेरै थिए र तिमीहरूले तल्‍लो तलाउबाट पानी जम्‍मा गर्‍यौ ।
And the breaches in the city of David, ye beheld for they were many, —So ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool;
10 तिमीहरूले यरूशलेमा घरहरू गन्यौ र तिमीहरूले पर्खाललाई बलियो पार्न घरहरू भत्कायौ ।
And the houses of Jerusalem, ye counted, —And brake down the houses, to fortify the wall;
11 तिमीहरूले पुरानो पानीलो तलाउको निम्ति पर्खालहरूको बिचमा एउटा जलाशय बनायौ । तर तिमीहरूले सहरको निर्माणकर्तालाई विचार गरेनौ, जसले धेरै पहिले नै यसको योजना गर्नुभएको थियो ।
And a reservoir, ye made between the two walls, for the waters of the ancient pool, —And had no regard unto him that made it, Nor unto him that formed it long ago, had ye respect.
12 त्यस दिन परमप्रभु सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले रुन, विलाप गर्न, कपाल खौरन र भाङ्ग्रा लगाउनलाई बोलाउनुभयो ।
And, when My Lord Yahweh of hosts called in that day, —for weeping, and for lamentation, and for shaving bare and for girding with sackcloth,
13 तर त्‍यसको साटोमा हेर, उत्सव र खुसी, गाइवस्तु काट्ने र भेडाहरू मार्ने, मासु खाने र दाखमद्य पिउने गरियो । हामी खाऔं र पिऔं, किनकि भोलि हामी मर्नेछौं भन्‍दैछन् ।
Then lo! joy and rejoicing, killing oxen and slaughtering sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine, —Let us eat and drink, For to-morrow, we may die!
14 यो कुरा सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले मेरो कानमा प्रकट गर्नुभयोः “निश्‍चय नै यो अपराधको निम्‍ति मृत्‍युमा पनि तिमीहरूलाई क्षमा हुनेछैन,” परमप्रभु सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।
Therefore did Yahweh reveal himself in mine ears. Surely there shall be no propitiatory-covering put over this iniquity for you until ye die, Saith My Lord Yahweh of hosts.
15 परमप्रभु सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “यो प्रशासक शेब्‍नाकहाँ जसले महलको रेखदेख गर्छ र भन्,
Thus, said My Lord Yahweh, of hosts, Come go in unto this steward, Unto Shebna, who is over the house:
16 'तैंले यहाँ के गरिरहेको छस्, अनि आफ्नो निम्ति चिहान खोप्‍न, उच्‍च टाउँमा चिहान खन्‍न र चट्टानमा विश्राम गर्ने ठाउँ कुँद्‍न तँलाई कसले अनुमति दियो?”
What doest thou here? And whom hast thou here? That thou hast hewn for thyself here a sepulchre, —As one hewing on high his sepulchre, Cutting out in the cliff a habitation for himself?
17 हेर्, परमप्रभुले तँलाई फाल्‍न लाग्‍नुभएको छ, ए शक्तिशाली मानिस, तँलाई फाल्‍न लाग्‍नुभएको छ । उहाँले तँलाई कसेर समात्‍नुहुनेछ ।
Lo! Yahweh, is about to hurl thee, with a hurl, O mighty man, —And roll thee with a roll;
18 निश्‍चय नै उहाँले तँलाई हावामा फनफन घुमाउनुहुनेछ र ठुलो देशमा बल फालेझैं फाल्‍नुहुनेछ । तँ त्यहाँ नै मर्नेछस्, तेरा गौरवशालि रथहरू त्यहाँ हुनेछन् । तँ तेरो मालिकको महलमा तँ शर्ममा पर्नेछस् ।
He will, toss, thee, with a toss, like a ball, into a country wide on both hands, —There, shalt thou die, And there shall thy glorious chariots be the contempt of the house of thy lord.
19 तेरो अफिसबाट र तेरो ठाउँबाट तँलाई म निकाल्नेछु । तँ तल खसालिनेछस् ।
Thus will I thrust thee out from thine office, —And from thy station, shall one tear thee down.
20 त्‍यो दिन यस्‍तो हुनेछ, हिल्कियाहका छोरा मेरो सेवक एल्याकीमलाई म बोलाउनेछु ।
And it shall come to pass in that day, That I will call for my servant, for Eliakim son of Hilkiah,
21 तेरो अलखा म उसलाई लगाइदिनेछु र तेरो पटुका उसलाई बाँधिदिनेछु, तेरो अधिकार म उसको हातमा सुम्‍पिनेछु । यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरू र यहूदाका घरानाको निम्ति निम्ति ऊ नै पिता हुनेछ ।
And will clothe him with thy tunic And with thy girdle, will I gird him, And thine authority, will I deliver into his hand, —So shall he become a father To the inhabitant of Jerusalem and To the house of Judah.
22 दाऊदको घरानाको साँचो म उसको काँधमा राख्‍नेछु । उसले खोल्नेछ र कसैले बन्द गर्नेछैन र कसैले खोल्नेछैन ।
And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder, —And he shall open and none shall shut, And shut and none shall open;
23 म त्यसको निम्ति सुरक्षित स्थानमा एउटा किला गाड्‍नेछु र आफ्‍नो पिताको घरानाको निम्ति ऊ गौरवको आसन हुनेछ ।
And I will fasten him as a peg in a sure place, —And he shall become a throne of glory, to the house of his father;
24 उसको घराना, सन्तानहरू र वंशको, हरेक सानो भाँडोदेखि कचौराहरू र गाग्रोहरूका गौरव तिनीहरूले उसमा नै राख्‍नेछन् ।
And they shall hang upon him all the weight of his father’s house—The offshoots and the side-twigs—All the small vessels, Both the cups and all the jugs
25 यो सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो— त्यो दिन सुरक्षित स्थानमा गडिएको किलाले ठाउँ छोड्‍नेछ, भाँचिनेछ र ढल्‍नेछ अनि त्यसमा भएको भार हटाइनेछ— किनकि परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभएको छ ।
In that day, —Declareth Yahweh of hosts Shall the peg, give way, that was fastened in a sure place, —Yea it shall be cut off and fall And the burden that was upon it shall perish, For, Yahweh, hath spoken!
