< 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 song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city. God appoints salvation for walls and bulwarks.
2 ढोका खुल्ला गर, जसले गर्दा विश्वास कायम राख्ने धर्मी जाति भित्र आउन सकोस् ।
Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter: the one which keeps faith.
3 तपाईंमा लागेको मनलाई, तपाईंले उसलाई पुरा शान्तिमा राख्नुहुनेछ, किनकि उसले तपाईंमा विश्वास गर्छ ।
You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you.
4 सदासर्वदा परमप्रभु विश्वास गर । किनभने परमप्रभु, परमप्रभु नै अनन्त चट्टान हुनुहुन्छ ।
Trust in the LORD forever; for in the LORD, the LORD, is an everlasting Rock.
5 किनकि घमण्डसाथ जिउनेहरूलाई उहाँले तल झार्नुहुनेछ । किल्लबन्दी गरिएको सहरलाई उहाँले तल ढाल्नुहुन्छ, उहाँले जमिनमा पल्टाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले त्यसलाई माटोमा मिलाउनुहुन्छ ।
For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city. He lays it low. He lays it low even to the ground. He brings it even to the dust.
6 यसलाई गरीबहरूका खुट्टाले र खाँचोमा परेकाहरूका खुट्टाले कुल्चनेछ ।
The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor and the steps of the needy.”
7 ए धर्मी जन, धर्मीको मार्ग सिधा हुन्छ । धर्मी जनको मार्गलाई तपाईंले सोझो बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
The way of the just is uprightness. You who are upright make the path of the righteous level.
8 हे परप्रभु, तपाईंको न्यायको मार्गमा, हामी तपाईंलाई पर्खन्छौं । तपाईंको नाउँ र तपाईंको प्रतिष्ठा नै हाम्रो चाहना हो ।
Yes, in the way of your judgements, LORD, we have waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our 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 ।
With my soul I have desired you in the night. Yes, with my spirit within me I will seek you earnestly; for when your judgements are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10 दुष्ट व्यक्तिलाई कृपा गरियोस्, तर त्यसले धार्मिकता जान्नेछैन । सोझाको देशमा उसले दुष्टतासाथ काम गर्छ र परमप्रभुको ऐश्वर्यलाई देख्दैन ।
Let favour be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see the LORD’s majesty.
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, your hand is lifted up, yet they don’t see; but they will see your zeal for the people and be disappointed. Yes, fire will consume your adversaries.
12 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंले हाम्रा निम्ति शान्ति ल्याउनुहुनेछ । किनकि साँच्चै, हाम्रा सबै कामहरू तपाईंले पनि हाम्रा निम्ति पुरा गर्नुभएको छ ।
LORD, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also done all our work for us.
13 हे परमप्रभु, हाम्रा परमेश्वर, तपाईं बाहेक अरू मालिकहरूले हामीमाथि शासन गरेका छन् । तर तपाईंको नाउँको मात्र प्रशंसा हामी गर्नेछौं ।
LORD our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us, but we will only acknowledge 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 ।
The dead shall not live. The departed spirits shall not rise. Therefore you have visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.
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 increased the nation, O LORD. You have increased the nation! You are glorified! You have enlarged all the borders of the land.
16 हे परमप्रभु, कष्टमा तिनीहरूले तपाईंलाई हेरेका छन् । तिनीहरूमाथि तपाईंको अनुशासन पर्दा तिनीहरूले प्रार्थना गुनगुनाएका छन् ।
LORD, in trouble they have visited you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.
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।
Just as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs, so we have been before you, 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 been with child. We have been in pain. We gave birth, it seems, only to wind. We have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world 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. Their dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast out the departed spirits.
20 ए मेरा मानिसहरू हो, जाओ, आफ्नो कोठाभित्र पस र पछि फर्केर आफ्ना ढोकाहरू बन्द गर । क्रोध बितेर नगएसम्म, केही बेर लुक ।
Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.
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 comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.
