< यशैया 24 >

1 हेर्, परमप्रभुले पृथ्वीलाई रित्तो बनाउन, यसलाई विनाश पार्न, यसको सतहलाई बिगार्न र यसका बासिन्दाहरूलाई तितरबितर पार्न लाग्‍नुभएको छ ।
Behold, YHWH is emptying the earth, And is making it desolate, And has overturned [it on] its face, And has scattered its inhabitants.
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 has been—as a people so a priest, As the servant so his master, As the maidservant so her mistress, As the buyer so the seller, As the lender so the borrower, As the usurer so he who is lifting [it] on himself.
3 पृथ्वीलाई पुर्ण रूपमा विनाश गरिनेछ र पुर्ण रूपमा नाङ्गो बनाइनेछ । किनकि परमप्रभुले यो वचन बोल्नुभएको छ ।
The earth is utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled, For YHWH has spoken this word:
4 पृथ्वी सुख्‍खा हुनेछ र ओइलाउनेछ, संसार सुक्‍नेछ र ओइलाएर जानेछ। पृथ्वीका विशिष्‍ट मानिसहरू दुर्बल हुनेछन् ।
The earth has mourned, faded, The world has languished, faded, They have languished—the high place of the people of the earth.
5 पृथ्वीलाई यसका बासिन्दाहरूले दूषित पारेका छन्, किनभने तिनीहरूले व्यवस्था भङ्ग गरेका छन्, नियमहरू तोडेका छन् र अनन्‍तको करार उलङ्घन गरेका छन् ।
And the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed laws, They have changed a statute, They have made void a perpetual 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 has consumed the earth, And the inhabitants in it become desolate, Therefore inhabitants of the earth have been consumed, And few men have been left.
7 नयाँ दाखमद्य सुक्छ, दाख ओइलिन्छ, सबै आनन्दि हृदयहरूले शोक गर्छन् ।
The new wine has mourned, the vine languished, All the joyful of heart have sighed.
8 खैंजडीको सुमधुर आवाज बन्द हुन्छ र आनन्द मनाउनेहरूको आनन्‍दको सोर पनि बन्द हुन्छ । वीणाको आनन्द बन्द हुन्छ ।
The joy of tambourines has ceased, The noise of exulting ones has ceased, The joy of a harp has ceased.
9 तिनीहरूले फेरि दाखमद्य पिउँदैनन् र गाउँदैनन्, र कडा मद्य पिउनेलाई त्‍यो तीतो हुन्छ ।
They do not drink wine with a song, Strong drink is bitter to those drinking it.
10 गोलमालको सहरलाई भत्काइएको छ । हरेक घर बन्द गरिएको र रित्तो छ ।
It was broken down—a city of emptiness, Every house has been shut from [its] entrance.
11 दाखमद्यको कारणले गर्दा सडकमा चिच्याहट छ । सबै आनन्द अन्धकार भएको छ, देशको खुसी लोप भएको छ ।
In out-places [is] a cry over the wine, All joy has been darkened, The joy of the land has been removed.
12 सहरमा उजाड छोडिएको छ र ढोका भग्‍नावशेष भएर फुटेको छ ।
Desolation [is] left in the city, And the gate is struck [with] ruin.
13 किनकि जस्‍तो जैतूनको रूखलाई हल्लाउँदा, जस्‍तो अङ्गुर टिप्‍दा फाटफुट छुट्छ, सारा पृथ्वीभरि जातिहरू माझ यस्तै नै हुनेछ ।
When thus it is in the heart of the land, In the midst of the peoples, As the surrounding of the olive, As gleanings when harvest has been finished,
14 आफ्‍नो सोरलाई तिनीहरूले उचाल्‍नेछन् र परमप्रभुको वैभवको जयजयकार गर्नेछन् र समुद्रबाट आनन्दसाथ कराउनेछन् ।
They lift up their voice, They sing of the excellence of YHWH, They have cried aloud from the sea.
15 यसकारण पुर्वमा परमप्रभुको महिमा गर, समुद्रा टापुहरूमा परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको नाउँलाई महिमा देओ ।
Therefore honor YHWH in prosperity, In islands of the sea, the Name of YHWH, God of Israel.
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 skirt of the earth we heard songs, The desire of the righteous. And I say, “Leanness [is] to me, Leanness [is] to me, woe [is] to me.” Treacherous dealers dealt treacherously, Indeed, treachery, treacherous dealers dealt treacherously.
17 ए पृथ्वीका बासिन्दाहरू, तिमीहरूमाथि त्रास, खाल्डो र पासो आइलागेको छ ।
Fear, and a snare, and a trap, [Are] on you, O inhabitant of the earth.
18 त्रासको आवाजदेखि भाग्‍ने खाल्डोमा पर्नेछ, खाल्डोको बिचबाट बाहिर निस्‍कने पासोमा पर्नेछ । स्वर्गका झ्यालहरू खोलिनेछन् र पृथ्वीका जगहरू हल्लिनेछन् ।
And it has come to pass, He who is fleeing from the noise of the fear falls into the snare, And he who is coming up from the midst of the snare, Is captured by the trap, For windows have been opened on high, And foundations of the earth are shaken.
19 पृथ्वी पुर्ण रूपमा टुट्‍नेछ, पृथ्वी चिरा पर्नेछ । पृथ्वीलाई डरलाग्‍दो किसिमले हल्लाइनेछ ।
The earth has been utterly broken down, The earth has been utterly broken, The earth has been utterly 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 staggers greatly as a drunkard, And it has been moved as a lodge, And its transgression has been heavy on it, And it has fallen, and does not add to rise.
21 त्यस दिन परमप्रभुले स्वर्गका सेनाहरूलाई आकाशमा र पृथ्वीका राजाहरूलाई पृथ्वीमा दण्ड दिनुहुनेछ ।
And it has come to pass in that day, YHWH lays a charge on the host of the high place in the high place, 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 have been gathered—A gathering of bound ones in a pit, And they have been shut up in a prison, And after a multitude of days are inspected.
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 moon has been confounded, And the sun has been ashamed, For YHWH of Hosts has reigned In Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, And before His elderly—glory!
