यशैया 26
1 त्यस दिन यहूदाको देशमा यो गीत गाइने छः हामीसँग बलियो सहर छ । परमेश्वरले मुक्तिलाई यसको पर्खालहरू र घेराहरू बनाउनुभएको छ ।
In that day, this canticle will be sung in the land of Judah. Within it will be set the city of our strength: Zion, a savior, a wall with a bulwark.
2 ढोका खुल्ला गर, जसले गर्दा विश्वास कायम राख्ने धर्मी जाति भित्र आउन सकोस् ।
Open the gates, and let the just people who guard the truth enter.
3 तपाईंमा लागेको मनलाई, तपाईंले उसलाई पुरा शान्तिमा राख्नुहुनेछ, किनकि उसले तपाईंमा विश्वास गर्छ ।
The old error has gone away. You will serve peace: peace, for we have hoped in you.
4 सदासर्वदा परमप्रभु विश्वास गर । किनभने परमप्रभु, परमप्रभु नै अनन्त चट्टान हुनुहुन्छ ।
You have trusted in the Lord for all eternity, in the Lord God almighty forever.
5 किनकि घमण्डसाथ जिउनेहरूलाई उहाँले तल झार्नुहुनेछ । किल्लबन्दी गरिएको सहरलाई उहाँले तल ढाल्नुहुन्छ, उहाँले जमिनमा पल्टाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले त्यसलाई माटोमा मिलाउनुहुन्छ ।
For he will bend down those living in the heights. He will bring low the lofty city. He will lower it, even to the ground. He will tear it down, even to the dust.
6 यसलाई गरीबहरूका खुट्टाले र खाँचोमा परेकाहरूका खुट्टाले कुल्चनेछ ।
The foot will tread it down: the feet of the poor, the steps of the indigent.
7 ए धर्मी जन, धर्मीको मार्ग सिधा हुन्छ । धर्मी जनको मार्गलाई तपाईंले सोझो बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
The path of the just is upright; the difficult path of the just is right to walk in.
8 हे परप्रभु, तपाईंको न्यायको मार्गमा, हामी तपाईंलाई पर्खन्छौं । तपाईंको नाउँ र तपाईंको प्रतिष्ठा नै हाम्रो चाहना हो ।
And in the path of your judgments, O Lord, we have endured for you. Your name and your remembrance are the desire of the soul.
9 रातमा मैले तपाईंको इच्छा गरें । हो, मेरो आत्माले मभित्र उत्कट रूपमा तपाईंको खोजी गर्छ । किनकि जब तपाईंको न्याहरू पृथ्वीमाथि आउँछन्, तब संसारका बासिन्दाहरूले धार्मिकताको बारेमा जान्दछन् ।
My soul has desired you in the night. But I will also watch for you with my spirit, in my inmost heart, from the morning. When you accomplish your judgments upon the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn justice.
10 दुष्ट व्यक्तिलाई कृपा गरियोस्, तर त्यसले धार्मिकता जान्नेछैन । सोझाको देशमा उसले दुष्टतासाथ काम गर्छ र परमप्रभुको ऐश्वर्यलाई देख्दैन ।
Let us take pity on the impious one, but he will not learn justice. In the land of the holy ones, he has done iniquity, and so he will not see the glory of the Lord.
11 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंको हात उचालिएको छ, तर तिनीहरूले देख्दैनन् । तर मानिसहरूका निम्ति तपाईंको जोशलाई तिनीहरूले देख्नेछन् र लजमा पारिन्छन्, किनभने तपाईंका विरोधीहरूका आगोले तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट पार्नेछ ।
Lord, let your hand be exalted, and let them not see it. May the envious people see and be confounded. And may fire devour your enemies.
12 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंले हाम्रा निम्ति शान्ति ल्याउनुहुनेछ । किनकि साँच्चै, हाम्रा सबै कामहरू तपाईंले पनि हाम्रा निम्ति पुरा गर्नुभएको छ ।
Lord, you will give us peace. For all our works have been wrought for us by you.
13 हे परमप्रभु, हाम्रा परमेश्वर, तपाईं बाहेक अरू मालिकहरूले हामीमाथि शासन गरेका छन् । तर तपाईंको नाउँको मात्र प्रशंसा हामी गर्नेछौं ।
O Lord our God, other lords have possessed us apart from you, but in you alone let us remember your name.
14 तिनीहरू मृत छन्, तिनीहरू जिउनेछैनन् । तिनीहरू मरेका छन्, तिनीहरू उठ्नेछैनन् । साँच्चै, न्यायको निम्ति तपाईं आउनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट पार्नुभयो, र तिनीहरूका सबै सम्झना नाश पार्नुभयो ।
Let not the dead live; let not the giants rise up again. For this reason, you have visited and destroyed them, and you have perished all remembrance of them.
15 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंले जातिको वृद्धि गर्नुभएको छ, तपाईंले जातिको वृद्धि गर्नुभएको छ । तपाईंको आदर गरिन्छ । तपाईंले देशका सबै सिमानालाई विस्तार गर्नुभएको छ ।
You have been lenient to the people, O Lord, lenient to the people. But have you been glorified? You have removed all the limits of the earth.
16 हे परमप्रभु, कष्टमा तिनीहरूले तपाईंलाई हेरेका छन् । तिनीहरूमाथि तपाईंको अनुशासन पर्दा तिनीहरूले प्रार्थना गुनगुनाएका छन् ।
Lord, they have sought you in anguish. Your doctrine was with them, amid the tribulation of murmuring.
17 गर्भवती स्त्रीले बालक जन्माउने समय नजिक भएझैं, तिनी प्रसव वेदना हुँदा झैं र आफ्नो प्रसव वेदनामा चिच्याउँदा झैं, हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंको सामु हामी त्यस्तै छौं।
Like a woman who has conceived and is approaching the time for delivery, who, in anguish, cries out in her pains, so have we become before your face, O Lord.
18 हामी गर्भवती भएका छौं, हामी प्रसव वेदनामा परेका छौं, तर यो त हामीले हावालाई मात्र जन्माएको जस्तो भएको छ । हामीले पृथ्वीमा उद्धार ल्याएका छैनौं र संसारका बासिन्दाहरू ढलेका छैनन् ।
We have conceived, and it is as if we were in labor, but we have given birth to wind. We have not brought forth salvation on the earth. For this reason, the inhabitants of the earth have not fallen.
19 तपाईंका मृतहरू जीवित हुनेछन् । तिनीहरूका मृत शरीरहरू जीवित हुनेछन् । ए धूलोमा बस्नेहरू हो, उठ र आनन्दको गीत गाओ । किनकि तपाईंको शीत बिहानको शीत हो, अनि पृथ्वीले आफ्ना मृतकहरूलाई ल्याउनेछ ।
Your dead shall live. My slain will rise again. Be awakened, and give praise, you who live in the dust! For your dew is the dew of the light, and you shall be dragged down to the land of the giants, to ruination.
20 ए मेरा मानिसहरू हो, जाओ, आफ्नो कोठाभित्र पस र पछि फर्केर आफ्ना ढोकाहरू बन्द गर । क्रोध बितेर नगएसम्म, केही बेर लुक ।
Go, my people! Enter your chambers. Close your doors behind you. Conceal yourselves for a very brief time, until the indignation has passed over you.
21 किनकि हेर, पृथ्वीका बासिन्दाहरूलाई तिनीहरूका अपराधको दण्ड दिनलाई परमप्रभु आफ्नो ठाउँबाट बाहिर आउन लाग्नुभएको छ । पृथ्वीले आफ्नो रक्तपात प्रकट गर्नेछ र आफ्ना मारिएकाहरूलाई फेरि लुकाउनेछैन ।
For behold, the Lord will go forth from his place, so that he may visit the iniquity of each inhabitant of the earth against him. And the earth will reveal its blood, and it will no longer cover its slain.
