< यशैया 24 >
1 हेर्, परमप्रभुले पृथ्वीलाई रित्तो बनाउन, यसलाई विनाश पार्न, यसको सतहलाई बिगार्न र यसका बासिन्दाहरूलाई तितरबितर पार्न लाग्नुभएको छ ।
Behold, Yahweh makes the earth empty, makes it waste, turns it upside down, and scatters 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 ।
It will be as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest.
3 पृथ्वीलाई पुर्ण रूपमा विनाश गरिनेछ र पुर्ण रूपमा नाङ्गो बनाइनेछ । किनकि परमप्रभुले यो वचन बोल्नुभएको छ ।
The earth will be utterly emptied and utterly laid waste; for Yahweh has spoken this word.
4 पृथ्वी सुख्खा हुनेछ र ओइलाउनेछ, संसार सुक्नेछ र ओइलाएर जानेछ। पृथ्वीका विशिष्ट मानिसहरू दुर्बल हुनेछन् ।
The earth mourns and fades away. The world languishes and fades away. The lofty people of the earth languish.
5 पृथ्वीलाई यसका बासिन्दाहरूले दूषित पारेका छन्, किनभने तिनीहरूले व्यवस्था भङ्ग गरेका छन्, नियमहरू तोडेका छन् र अनन्तको करार उलङ्घन गरेका छन् ।
The earth also is polluted under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, and broken 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 the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell therein are found guilty. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.
7 नयाँ दाखमद्य सुक्छ, दाख ओइलिन्छ, सबै आनन्दि हृदयहरूले शोक गर्छन् ।
The new wine mourns. The vine languishes. All the merry-hearted sigh.
8 खैंजडीको सुमधुर आवाज बन्द हुन्छ र आनन्द मनाउनेहरूको आनन्दको सोर पनि बन्द हुन्छ । वीणाको आनन्द बन्द हुन्छ ।
The mirth of tambourines ceases. The sound of those who rejoice ends. The joy of the harp ceases.
9 तिनीहरूले फेरि दाखमद्य पिउँदैनन् र गाउँदैनन्, र कडा मद्य पिउनेलाई त्यो तीतो हुन्छ ।
They will not drink wine with a song. Strong drink will be bitter to those who drink it.
10 गोलमालको सहरलाई भत्काइएको छ । हरेक घर बन्द गरिएको र रित्तो छ ।
The confused city is broken down. Every house is shut up, 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. All joy is darkened. The mirth of the land is gone.
12 सहरमा उजाड छोडिएको छ र ढोका भग्नावशेष भएर फुटेको छ ।
The city is left in desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction.
13 किनकि जस्तो जैतूनको रूखलाई हल्लाउँदा, जस्तो अङ्गुर टिप्दा फाटफुट छुट्छ, सारा पृथ्वीभरि जातिहरू माझ यस्तै नै हुनेछ ।
For it will be so within the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done.
14 आफ्नो सोरलाई तिनीहरूले उचाल्नेछन् र परमप्रभुको वैभवको जयजयकार गर्नेछन् र समुद्रबाट आनन्दसाथ कराउनेछन् ।
These shall lift up their voice. They will shout for the majesty of Yahweh. They cry aloud from the sea.
15 यसकारण पुर्वमा परमप्रभुको महिमा गर, समुद्रा टापुहरूमा परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको नाउँलाई महिमा देओ ।
Therefore glorify Yahweh in the east, even the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea!
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 uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs. Glory to the righteous! But I said, “I pine away! I pine away! woe is me!” The treacherous have dealt treacherously. Yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.
17 ए पृथ्वीका बासिन्दाहरू, तिमीहरूमाथि त्रास, खाल्डो र पासो आइलागेको छ ।
Fear, the pit, and the snare are on you who inhabit the earth.
18 त्रासको आवाजदेखि भाग्ने खाल्डोमा पर्नेछ, खाल्डोको बिचबाट बाहिर निस्कने पासोमा पर्नेछ । स्वर्गका झ्यालहरू खोलिनेछन् र पृथ्वीका जगहरू हल्लिनेछन् ।
It will happen that he who flees from the noise of the fear will fall into the pit; and he who comes up out of the middle of the pit will be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.
19 पृथ्वी पुर्ण रूपमा टुट्नेछ, पृथ्वी चिरा पर्नेछ । पृथ्वीलाई डरलाग्दो किसिमले हल्लाइनेछ ।
The earth is utterly broken. The earth is torn apart. The earth is shaken violently.
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 stagger like a drunken man, and will sway back and forth like a hammock. Its disobedience will be heavy on it, and it will fall and not rise again.
21 त्यस दिन परमप्रभुले स्वर्गका सेनाहरूलाई आकाशमा र पृथ्वीका राजाहरूलाई पृथ्वीमा दण्ड दिनुहुनेछ ।
It will happen in that day that Yahweh will punish the army of the high ones on high, and 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 ।
They will be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and will be shut up in the prison; and after many days they will 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 ।
Then the moon will be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Yahweh of Armies will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem; and glory will be before his elders.
