1 टुरोसको बारेमा एउटा घोषणाः ए तर्शीशका पानी जहाजहरू हो कराओ । किनकि त्यहाँ न घर छ न बन्दरगाह नै छ । साइप्रसको देशबाट यो कुरा तिनीहरूलाई प्रकट गरिएको छ ।
The burden of Tyre. Wail, you ships of the sea! For the house, from which they were accustomed to go forth, has been laid waste. From the land of Kittim, this has been revealed to them.
2 ए समुद्री तटका बासिन्दाहरू हो, मौन बस । समुद्रमा यात्रा गर्ने सीदोनका व्यापारीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई भरिदिएका छन् ।
Be silent, you inhabitants of the island! The merchants of Sidon, crossing over the sea, have filled you.
3 ठुला पानीमाथि सिहोरको अन्‍न थियो, नील नदीको उत्पादन त्यसको उब्‍जनी थियो । अनि त्‍यो जातिहरूको व्यापार भयो ।
The offspring of the Nile is in the midst of many waters. The harvest of the river is her crop. And she has become the marketplace of the nations.
4 ए सीदोन, लज्‍जित हो, किनकि समुद्रले, समुद्रको शक्तिशालीले बोलेको छ । त्यसले भन्छ, “म प्रसव वेदनामा परेको छैन, न बालक जन्माएको छु, न मैले छोराहरू हुर्काएको छु, न छोरीहरू हुर्काएको छु ।”
Be ashamed, O Sidon! For the sea speaks, the strength of the sea, saying: “I have not been in labor, and I have not given birth, and I have not raised young men, nor have I promoted the development of virgins.”
5 मिश्रदेशमा खबर आउँदा, टुरोसको विषयमा तिनीहरूले शोक गर्नेछन् ।
When it has been heard in Egypt, they will be in anguish, when they hear of Tyre.
6 तर्शीशपारि जाओ । ए समुद्र तटका बासिन्दाहरू हो, तिमीहरू विलाप गर ।
Cross over the seas. Wail, you inhabitants of the island!
7 ए आनन्दित सहर, के तँलाई यस्तो भएको छ, जसको उत्‍पत्ति प्राचीन समयमा नै भएको छ, जसका खुट्टाले त्यसलाई बसोबास गर्न विदेशी भूमिमा पुर्‍याएको छ?
Is this not your place, which from its earliest days has gloried in its antiquity? Her feet will lead her to a sojourn far away.
8 मुकुटहरू दिने टुरोसको विरुद्धमा यो योजना कसले बनाएको हो, जसका व्यापारीहरू शासकहरू छन्, जसका व्यापारीहरू पृथ्वीमा नै आदरणिय छन्?
Who has made this plan against Tyre, which formerly was crowned, whose merchants were leaders, whose traders were illustrious on the earth?
9 त्यसका घमण्ड र त्‍यसका सबै गौरवलाई अपमान गर्न, त्‍यसका पृथ्वीकै आदरणियलाई लज्‍जित पार्न सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले नै यो योजना बनाउनुभएको हो ।
The Lord of hosts has planned this, so that he may tear down the arrogance of all glory, and may bring disgrace to all the illustrious of the earth.
10 ए तर्शीशकी छोरी हो, नील नदीलाई जोतेझैं आफ्नो खेत जोत् । टुरोसमा अब फेरि बजार-क्षेत्र छैन ।
Cross through your land, as through a river, O daughter of the sea. You no longer have a belt.
11 परमप्रभुले समुद्रमाथि आफ्नो हात पसार्नुभएको छ र उहाँले राज्यहरूलाई हल्लाउनुभएको छ । फोनिकेको विषयमा त्‍यसका किल्लाहरूलाई नाश गर्ने आज्ञा उहाँले दिनुभएको छ ।
He has extended his hand over the sea. He has stirred up kingdoms. The Lord has given an order against Canaan, so that he may crush its strong.
12 उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “ए सीदोनकी अत्‍याचारमा परेकी कन्या छोरी, तैले फेरि आनन्द मनाउने छैनस् । उठ्, साइप्रसमा पारि जा । तर तैंले त्यहाँ पनि विश्राम पाउनेछैनस् ।”
And he said: “You shall no longer increase so as to glory, while enduring calumny, O virgin daughter of Sidon. Rise up and set sail for Kittim; in that place, too, there will be no rest for you.”
13 कल्दीहरूको देशलाई हेर् । यी मानिहरू समाप्‍त भएका छन् । अश्‍शूरीहरूले त्‍यसलाई जङ्गली जनावरहरूको निम्ति उजाड-स्‍थान बनाएका छन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना घेरा-मचान खडा गरेका छन् । तिनीहरूले त्‍यसका दरबारहरू नष्‍ट गरे । तिनीहरूले त्‍यसलाई भग्‍नावशेषको थुप्रो बनाए ।
Behold, the land of the Chaldeans: never before was there such a people! Assur founded it. They have led away its strong ones into captivity. They have dug under its houses. They have left it in ruins.
14 ए तर्शीशका पानी जहाजहरू हो, कराओ । किनकि तिमीहरूका शरणस्थान विनाश गरिएको छ ।
Wail, you ships of the sea! For your strength has been devastated.
15 त्यो दिनमा, राजाका समयमा झैं टुरोसलाई सत्तरी वर्षसम्म बिर्सिइनेछ । सत्तरी वर्षको अन्‍तमा टुरोसमा वेश्यको गीतमा जस्तै कुनै कुरा हुनेछ ।
And this shall be in that day: you, O Tyre, will be forgotten for seventy years, like the days of one king. Then, after seventy years, there will be, for Tyre, something like the canticle of a harlot.
16 ए बिर्सिएकी वेश्‍या, एउटा वीणा लि र सहरमा जा । त्‍यो राम्ररी बजा, धेरै गीतहरू गा, ताकि तेरो सम्झना गरिनेछ ।
Take up a stringed instrument. Circulate through the city, you harlot who had been forgotten. Sing many canticles well, so that you may be remembered.
17 सत्तरी वर्षपछि त्‍यो दिन यस्‍तो हुनेछ, परमप्रभुले टुरोसलाई सहायता गर्नुहुनेछ र त्यसले फेरि वेश्यवृत्ति गरेर पैसा कमाउन सुरु गर्नेछे, र त्यसले आफ्ना सेवाहरू पृथ्वीका सबै राज्यहरूलाई दिनेछे ।
And this shall be after seventy years: the Lord will visit Tyre, and he will lead her back to her profits. And she will fornicate again with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
18 त्यसका नाफाहरू र कमाइहरू परमप्रभुको निम्ति अलग गरिनेछ । ती भण्डारमा राखिने वा कोषमा जम्‍मा गरिने छैन, किनकि त्यसका नाफाहरू पमप्रभुको उपस्थितिमा बस्‍नेहरूलाई दिइनेछ र तिनीहरूलाई प्रशस्त खाना आपुर्ती गर्न प्रयोग गरिनेछ, र यसरी तिनीहरूसँग उत्तम गुणस्तर लुगा हुनेछ ।
And her businesses and her profits will be sanctified to the Lord. They will not be locked away and they will not be stored. For her business will be for those who will live in the presence of the Lord, so that they may eat until satisfied, and may be well-clothed even into old age.
