< यशैया 24 >
1 हेर्, परमप्रभुले पृथ्वीलाई रित्तो बनाउन, यसलाई विनाश पार्न, यसको सतहलाई बिगार्न र यसका बासिन्दाहरूलाई तितरबितर पार्न लाग्नुभएको छ ।
See, the Lord is making the earth waste and unpeopled, he is turning it upside down, and sending the people in all directions.
2 यो मानिसहरूलाई झैं पुजारीहरूलाई, नोकरलाई झैं मालिकलाई, दासीलाई झैं मलिक्नीलाई, किन्नेलाई झैं बेच्नेलाई, ऋण दिनेलाई झैं ऋण लिनेलाई, ब्याज लिनेलाई झैं ब्याज दिनेलाई हुनेछ ।
And it will be the same for the people as for the priest; for the servant as for his master; and for the woman-servant as for her owner; the same for the one offering goods for a price as for him who takes them; the same for him who gives money at interest and for him who takes it; the same for him who lets others have the use of his property as for those who make use of it.
3 पृथ्वीलाई पुर्ण रूपमा विनाश गरिनेछ र पुर्ण रूपमा नाङ्गो बनाइनेछ । किनकि परमप्रभुले यो वचन बोल्नुभएको छ ।
The earth will be completely waste and without men; for this is the word of the Lord.
4 पृथ्वी सुख्खा हुनेछ र ओइलाउनेछ, संसार सुक्नेछ र ओइलाएर जानेछ। पृथ्वीका विशिष्ट मानिसहरू दुर्बल हुनेछन् ।
The earth is sorrowing and wasting away, the world is full of grief and wasting away, the high ones of the earth come to nothing.
5 पृथ्वीलाई यसका बासिन्दाहरूले दूषित पारेका छन्, किनभने तिनीहरूले व्यवस्था भङ्ग गरेका छन्, नियमहरू तोडेका छन् र अनन्तको करार उलङ्घन गरेका छन् ।
The earth has been made unclean by those living in it; because the laws have not been kept by them, the orders have been changed, and the eternal agreement has been broken.
6 यसकारण सरापले पृथ्वीलाई विनाश पार्छ र यसका बासिन्दाहरू दोषी भेट्टाइएका छन् । पृथ्वीका बासिन्दाहरू जलाइन्छन् र थोरै मानिसहरू मात्र बाँकी छन् ।
For this cause the earth is given up to the curse, and those in it are judged as sinners: for this cause those living on the earth are burned up, and the rest are small in number.
7 नयाँ दाखमद्य सुक्छ, दाख ओइलिन्छ, सबै आनन्दि हृदयहरूले शोक गर्छन् ।
The new wine is thin, the vine is feeble, and all the glad-hearted make sounds of grief.
8 खैंजडीको सुमधुर आवाज बन्द हुन्छ र आनन्द मनाउनेहरूको आनन्दको सोर पनि बन्द हुन्छ । वीणाको आनन्द बन्द हुन्छ ।
The pleasing sound of all instruments of music has come to an end, and the voices of those who are glad.
9 तिनीहरूले फेरि दाखमद्य पिउँदैनन् र गाउँदैनन्, र कडा मद्य पिउनेलाई त्यो तीतो हुन्छ ।
There is no more drinking of wine with a song; strong drink will be bitter to those who take it.
10 गोलमालको सहरलाई भत्काइएको छ । हरेक घर बन्द गरिएको र रित्तो छ ।
The town is waste and broken down: every house is shut up, so that no man may come in.
11 दाखमद्यको कारणले गर्दा सडकमा चिच्याहट छ । सबै आनन्द अन्धकार भएको छ, देशको खुसी लोप भएको छ ।
There is a crying in the streets because of the wine; there is an end of all delight, the joy of the land is gone.
12 सहरमा उजाड छोडिएको छ र ढोका भग्नावशेष भएर फुटेको छ ।
In the town all is waste, and in the public place is destruction.
13 किनकि जस्तो जैतूनको रूखलाई हल्लाउँदा, जस्तो अङ्गुर टिप्दा फाटफुट छुट्छ, सारा पृथ्वीभरि जातिहरू माझ यस्तै नै हुनेछ ।
For it will be in the heart of the earth among the peoples, like the shaking of an olive-tree, as the last of the grapes after the getting-in is done.
14 आफ्नो सोरलाई तिनीहरूले उचाल्नेछन् र परमप्रभुको वैभवको जयजयकार गर्नेछन् र समुद्रबाट आनन्दसाथ कराउनेछन् ।
But those will be making sounds of joy; they will be crying loudly from the sea for the glory of the Lord.
15 यसकारण पुर्वमा परमप्रभुको महिमा गर, समुद्रा टापुहरूमा परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको नाउँलाई महिमा देओ ।
Give praise to the Lord in the east, to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the sea-lands.
16 हामीले पृथ्वीको सुदूर भागबाट गीतहरू सुनेका छौं, “धर्मी जनको महिमा होस्!” तर मैले भनें, “म सुकेर जाँदैछु, म सुकेर जाँदैछु, मलाई धिक्कार! धोकेबाजले धोकापुर्ण व्यवहार गरेको छ । हो, धोकेबाजले धेरै धोकापुर्ण व्यवहार गरेको छ ।
From the farthest part of the earth comes the sound of songs, glory to the upright. But I said, I am wasting away, wasting away, the curse is on me! The false ones go on in their false way, yes, they go on acting falsely.
17 ए पृथ्वीका बासिन्दाहरू, तिमीहरूमाथि त्रास, खाल्डो र पासो आइलागेको छ ।
Fear, and death, and the net, are come on you, O people of the earth.
18 त्रासको आवाजदेखि भाग्ने खाल्डोमा पर्नेछ, खाल्डोको बिचबाट बाहिर निस्कने पासोमा पर्नेछ । स्वर्गका झ्यालहरू खोलिनेछन् र पृथ्वीका जगहरू हल्लिनेछन् ।
And it will be that he who goes in flight from the sound of fear will be overtaken by death; and he who gets free from death will be taken in the net: for the windows on high are open, and the bases of the earth are shaking.
19 पृथ्वी पुर्ण रूपमा टुट्नेछ, पृथ्वी चिरा पर्नेछ । पृथ्वीलाई डरलाग्दो किसिमले हल्लाइनेछ ।
The earth is completely broken, it is parted in two, it is violently moved.
20 पृथ्वी मद्यले मातेको मानिसझैं लरखराउनेछ र यो झुप्रोझैं यताउता हल्लिनेछ । यसमाथि यसको पाप भारि हुनेछ र यो पतन हुनेछ अनि फेरि कहिल्यै उठ्नेछैन ।
The earth will be moving uncertainly, like a man overcome by drink; it will be shaking like a tent; and the weight of its sin will be on it, crushing it down so that it will not get up again.
21 त्यस दिन परमप्रभुले स्वर्गका सेनाहरूलाई आकाशमा र पृथ्वीका राजाहरूलाई पृथ्वीमा दण्ड दिनुहुनेछ ।
And in that day the Lord will send punishment on the army of the high ones on high, and on the kings of the earth on the earth.
22 तिनीहरूले कैदीको रूपमा खाल्डोमा एकसाथ जम्मा गरिनेछ र झ्यालखानमा बन्द गरिनेछ । अनि धेरै दिनपछि तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिइनेछ ।
And they will be got together, like prisoners in the prison-house; and after a long time they will have their punishment.
23 तब चन्द्रमा लज्जित हुनेछ र सूर्य अपमानमा पर्नेछ, किनकि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले सियोन पर्वतमा र यरूशलेममा अनि महिमामा आफ्ना धर्मगुरुहरूका सामु राज्य गर्नुहुनेछ ।
Then the moon will be veiled, and the sun put to shame; for the Lord of armies will be ruling in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before his judges he will let his glory be seen.
