< यशैया 24 >

1 हेर्, परमप्रभुले पृथ्वीलाई रित्तो बनाउन, यसलाई विनाश पार्न, यसको सतहलाई बिगार्न र यसका बासिन्दाहरूलाई तितरबितर पार्न लाग्‍नुभएको छ ।
Behold, the Lord is about to lay waste the world, and will make it desolate, and will lay bare the surface of it, and scatter them that dwell therein.
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 the people shall be as the priest, and the servant as the lord, and the maid as the mistress; the buyer shall be as the seller, the lender as the borrower, and the debtor as his creditor.
3 पृथ्वीलाई पुर्ण रूपमा विनाश गरिनेछ र पुर्ण रूपमा नाङ्गो बनाइनेछ । किनकि परमप्रभुले यो वचन बोल्नुभएको छ ।
The earth shall be completely laid waste, and the earth shall be utterly spoiled: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken these things.
4 पृथ्वी सुख्‍खा हुनेछ र ओइलाउनेछ, संसार सुक्‍नेछ र ओइलाएर जानेछ। पृथ्वीका विशिष्‍ट मानिसहरू दुर्बल हुनेछन् ।
The earth mourns, and the world is ruined, the lofty ones of the earth are mourning.
5 पृथ्वीलाई यसका बासिन्दाहरूले दूषित पारेका छन्, किनभने तिनीहरूले व्यवस्था भङ्ग गरेका छन्, नियमहरू तोडेका छन् र अनन्‍तको करार उलङ्घन गरेका छन् ।
And she has sinned by reason of her inhabitants; because they have transgressed the law, and changed the ordinances, [even] the everlasting covenant.
6 यसकारण सरापले पृथ्वीलाई विनाश पार्छ र यसका बासिन्दाहरू दोषी भेट्टाइएका छन् । पृथ्‍वीका बासिन्दाहरू जलाइन्‍छन् र थोरै मानिसहरू मात्र बाँकी छन् ।
Therefore a curse shall consume the earth, because the inhabitants thereof have sinned: therefore the dwellers in the earth shall be poor, and few men shall be left.
7 नयाँ दाखमद्य सुक्छ, दाख ओइलिन्छ, सबै आनन्दि हृदयहरूले शोक गर्छन् ।
The wine shall mourn, the vine shall mourn, all the merry-hearted shall sigh.
8 खैंजडीको सुमधुर आवाज बन्द हुन्छ र आनन्द मनाउनेहरूको आनन्‍दको सोर पनि बन्द हुन्छ । वीणाको आनन्द बन्द हुन्छ ।
The mirth of timbrels has ceased, the sound of the harp has ceased.
9 तिनीहरूले फेरि दाखमद्य पिउँदैनन् र गाउँदैनन्, र कडा मद्य पिउनेलाई त्‍यो तीतो हुन्छ ।
They are ashamed, they have not drunk wine; strong drink has become bitter to them that drink [it].
10 गोलमालको सहरलाई भत्काइएको छ । हरेक घर बन्द गरिएको र रित्तो छ ।
All the city has become desolate: one shall shut his house so that none shall enter.
11 दाखमद्यको कारणले गर्दा सडकमा चिच्याहट छ । सबै आनन्द अन्धकार भएको छ, देशको खुसी लोप भएको छ ।
There is a howling for the wine everywhere; all the mirth of the land has ceased, all the mirth of the land has departed.
12 सहरमा उजाड छोडिएको छ र ढोका भग्‍नावशेष भएर फुटेको छ ।
And cities shall be left desolate, and houses being left shall fall to ruin.
13 किनकि जस्‍तो जैतूनको रूखलाई हल्लाउँदा, जस्‍तो अङ्गुर टिप्‍दा फाटफुट छुट्छ, सारा पृथ्वीभरि जातिहरू माझ यस्तै नै हुनेछ ।
All this shall be in the land in the midst of the nations, as if one should strip an olive tree, so shall they strip them; but when the vintage is done,
14 आफ्‍नो सोरलाई तिनीहरूले उचाल्‍नेछन् र परमप्रभुको वैभवको जयजयकार गर्नेछन् र समुद्रबाट आनन्दसाथ कराउनेछन् ।
these shall cry aloud; and they that are left on the land shall rejoice together in the glory of the Lord: the water of the sea shall be troubled.
15 यसकारण पुर्वमा परमप्रभुको महिमा गर, समुद्रा टापुहरूमा परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको नाउँलाई महिमा देओ ।
Therefore shall the glory of the Lord be in the isles of the sea; the name of the Lord shall be glorious.
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 ।
O Lord God of Israel, from the ends of the earth we have heard wonderful things, [and there is] hope to the godly: but they shall say, Woe to the despisers, that despise the law.
17 ए पृथ्वीका बासिन्दाहरू, तिमीहरूमाथि त्रास, खाल्डो र पासो आइलागेको छ ।
Fear, and a pit, and a snare, are upon you that dwell on the earth.
18 त्रासको आवाजदेखि भाग्‍ने खाल्डोमा पर्नेछ, खाल्डोको बिचबाट बाहिर निस्‍कने पासोमा पर्नेछ । स्वर्गका झ्यालहरू खोलिनेछन् र पृथ्वीका जगहरू हल्लिनेछन् ।
And it shall come to pass, [that] he that flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that comes up out of the pit shall be caught by the snare: for windows have been opened in heaven, and the foundations of the earth shall be shaken,
19 पृथ्वी पुर्ण रूपमा टुट्‍नेछ, पृथ्वी चिरा पर्नेछ । पृथ्वीलाई डरलाग्‍दो किसिमले हल्लाइनेछ ।
the earth shall be utterly confounded, and the earth shall be completely perplexed.
20 पृथ्वी मद्यले मातेको मानिसझैं लरखराउनेछ र यो झुप्रोझैं यताउता हल्‍लिनेछ । यसमाथि यसको पाप भारि हुनेछ र यो पतन हुनेछ अनि फेरि कहिल्यै उठ्नेछैन ।
It reels as a drunkard and one oppressed with wine, and the earth shall be shaken as a storehouse of fruits; for iniquity has prevailed upon it, and it shall fall, and shall not be able to rise.
21 त्यस दिन परमप्रभुले स्वर्गका सेनाहरूलाई आकाशमा र पृथ्वीका राजाहरूलाई पृथ्वीमा दण्ड दिनुहुनेछ ।
And God shall bring [his] hand upon the host of heaven, and upon the kings of the earth.
22 तिनीहरूले कैदीको रूपमा खाल्डोमा एकसाथ जम्‍मा गरिनेछ र झ्यालखानमा बन्द गरिनेछ । अनि धेरै दिनपछि तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिइनेछ ।
And they shall gather the multitude thereof into prisons, and they shall shut them into a strong hold: after many generations they shall be visited.
23 तब चन्द्रमा लज्‍जित हुनेछ र सूर्य अपमानमा पर्नेछ, किनकि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले सियोन पर्वतमा र यरूशलेममा अनि महिमामा आफ्‍ना धर्मगुरुहरूका सामु राज्‍य गर्नुहुनेछ ।
And the brick shall decay, and the wall shall fall; for the Lord shall reign from out of Sion, and out of Jerusalem, and shall be glorified before [his] elders.
