यशैया 22

1 दर्शनको बेसीको विषयमा एउटा घोषणाः के कारणले तिमीहरू सबै जना घरको छतमाथि गएका छौ?

The burden of the Valley of Vision. What — to thee, now, that thou hast gone up, All of thee — to the roofs?

2 होहल्लाले भरिएको सहर र खुसीले भरिएको नगरका आवाजहरू सुन्‍नलाई तिमीहरूले त्‍यसो गरेका हौ? तिमीहरूका मृतहरू तरवारले मारिएको थिएनन् र तिनीहरू युद्धमा मरेनन् ।

Full of stirs — a noisy city — an exulting city, Thy pierced are not pierced of the sword, Nor 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 rulers fled together from the bow, Bound have been all found of thee, They have been kept bound together, Afar off they have fled.

4 यसकारण मैले भनें, “मलाई नहेर, म धुरुधुरु रुनेछु । मेरा मानिसहरूका छोरीको विनाशको बारेमा मलाई सान्त्वना दिने कोसिस नगर ।”

Therefore I said, 'Look ye from me, I am bitter in my weeping, Haste not to comfort me, For the destruction 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 noise, and of treading down, And of perplexity, [is] to the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, In the valley of vision, digging down a wall, And crying unto the mountain.

6 रथीहरू र घोडचढीहरूका साथमा एलामले ठोक्रो लिनेछ र कीरले ढाललाई नाङ्गो बनाउछ ।

And Elam hath borne a quiver, In a chariot of men — horsemen, And Kir hath exposed a shield.

7 तेरा उत्तम बेसीहरू रथहरूले भरिनेछन् र घोडचढीहरूले ढोकाहरूमा आफ्‍ना ठाउँ ओगट्नेछन् ।

And it cometh to pass, The choice of thy valleys have been full of chariots, And the horsemen place themselves diligently at the gate.

8 उहाँले यहूदाको सुरक्षालाई हटाउनुभयो । तिमीहरूले त्यस दिन वनको महलमा हतियारहरू हेर्‍यौ ।

And one removeth the covering of Judah, And thou lookest in that day Unto the armour of the house of the forest,

9 तिमीहरूले दाऊदका सहरका प्‍वालहरू देख्यौ, ती धेरै थिए र तिमीहरूले तल्‍लो तलाउबाट पानी जम्‍मा गर्‍यौ ।

And the breaches of the city of David ye have seen, For they have become many, And ye gather the waters of the lower pool,

10 तिमीहरूले यरूशलेमा घरहरू गन्यौ र तिमीहरूले पर्खाललाई बलियो पार्न घरहरू भत्कायौ ।

And the houses of Jerusalem ye did number, And ye break down the houses to fence 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 ditch ye made between the two walls, For the waters of the old pool, And ye have not looked unto its Maker, And its Framer of old ye have not seen.

12 त्यस दिन परमप्रभु सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले रुन, विलाप गर्न, कपाल खौरन र भाङ्ग्रा लगाउनलाई बोलाउनुभयो ।

And call doth the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, In that day, to weeping and to lamentation, And to baldness and to girding on of 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 ।

And lo, joy and gladness, slaying of oxen, And slaughtering of sheep, Eating of flesh, and drinking of wine, Eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.

14 यो कुरा सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले मेरो कानमा प्रकट गर्नुभयोः “निश्‍चय नै यो अपराधको निम्‍ति मृत्‍युमा पनि तिमीहरूलाई क्षमा हुनेछैन,” परमप्रभु सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।

And revealed it hath been in mine ears, [By] Jehovah of Hosts: Not pardoned is this iniquity to you, Till ye die, said the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts.

15 परमप्रभु सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “यो प्रशासक शेब्‍नाकहाँ जसले महलको रेखदेख गर्छ र भन्,

Thus said the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts: 'Go, enter 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 — to thee here? And who — to thee here? That thou hast hewn out to thee here — a sepulchre? Hewing on high his sepulchre, Graving in a rock a dwelling for himself.

17 हेर्, परमप्रभुले तँलाई फाल्‍न लाग्‍नुभएको छ, ए शक्तिशाली मानिस, तँलाई फाल्‍न लाग्‍नुभएको छ । उहाँले तँलाई कसेर समात्‍नुहुनेछ ।

Lo, Jehovah is casting thee up and down, A casting up and down, O mighty one,

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 ।

And thy coverer covering, wrapping round, Wrappeth thee round, O babbler, On a land broad of sides — there thou diest, And there the chariots of thine honour [Are] the shame of the house of thy lord.

19 तेरो अफिसबाट र तेरो ठाउँबाट तँलाई म निकाल्नेछु । तँ तल खसालिनेछस् ।

And I have thrust thee from thy station, And from thine office he throweth thee down.

20 त्‍यो दिन यस्‍तो हुनेछ, हिल्कियाहका छोरा मेरो सेवक एल्याकीमलाई म बोलाउनेछु ।

And it hath come to pass, in that day, That I have called to my servant, To 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 I have clothed him with thy coat, And with thy girdle I strengthen him, And thy garment I give into his hand, And he hath been for 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 have placed the key Of the house of David on his shoulder, And he hath opened, and none is shutting, And hath shut, and none is opening.

23 म त्यसको निम्ति सुरक्षित स्थानमा एउटा किला गाड्‍नेछु र आफ्‍नो पिताको घरानाको निम्ति ऊ गौरवको आसन हुनेछ ।

And I have fixed him a nail in a stedfast place, And he hath been for a throne of honour 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 have hanged on him All the honour of the house of his father, The offspring and the issue, All vessels of small quality, From vessels of basins to all vessels of flagons.

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 — an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, Moved is the nail that is fixed In a stedfast place, Yea, it hath been cut down, and hath fallen, And cut off hath been the burden that [is] on it, For Jehovah hath spoken!'
