< यशैया 27 >
1 त्यस दिन परमप्रभुले आफ्नो कठोर, महान् र डरलाग्दो तरवारले त्यो सुल्कने सर्प लिव्यातन, गुँडुली पर्ने सर्प लव्यातनलाई दण्ड दिनुहुनेछ र समुद्रमा भएको दैत्यलाई उहाँले मार्नुहुनेछ ।
On that day Yahweh with his hard, great and fierce sword will punish Leviathan the slithering serpent, Leviathan the squirming serpent, and he will kill the monster that is in the sea.
2 त्यस दिनमाः दाखमद्यको दाखबरीले यो गीत गाउँछ ।
In that day: A vineyard of wine, sing of it.
3 “म परमप्रभु यसको रक्षक हुँ । हरेक पल यसमा म पानी हाल्छु । म यसलाई दिन र रातमा सुरक्षा गर्छु, यसैले यसलाई कसैले चोट पुर्याउनेछैन ।
“I, Yahweh, am its protector; I water it every moment. I guard it night and day so no one will hurt it.
4 म रिसाएको छैन, ओहो, त्यहाँ सिउँडी र काँडाहरू थिए भने! युद्धमा तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा म अगि जानेथिएँ । तिनीहरू सबैलाई म एकसाथ जलाउनेथिएँ ।
I am not angry, Oh, that there were briers and thorns! In battle I would march against them; I would burn them all together;
5 तिनीहरू मेरो सुरक्षामा आउनुपर्छ र मसँग मिल्नुपर्छ । तिनीहरूले मसँग मिलाप गरून् ।
unless they grasp my protection and make peace with me; let them make peace with me.
6 आउने दिनहरूमा, याकूबले जरा हाल्नेछ । इस्राएलको कोपिला लाग्नेछ र फुल्नेछ । अनि तिनीहरूले जमिनको सतहलाई फलले ढाक्नेछन् ।”
In the coming day, Jacob will take root; Israel will blossom and bud; and they will fill the surface of the ground with fruit.”
7 याकूब र इस्राएललाई आक्रमण गर्ने जातिहरूलाई परमप्रभुले आक्रमण गर्नुहुँदा के उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्नुभएको छ र? याकूब र इस्राएलले ती जातिहरूलाई मारेझैं के तिनीहरूलाई मरिएका छन्?
Has Yahweh attacked Jacob and Israel as he attacked those nations who attacked them? Have Jacob and Israel been killed as in the slaughter of those nations that were killed by them?
8 याकूब र इस्राएललाई टाढा पठाउनुभएर तपाईंले ठिक त्यस्तै किसिमले व्यवहार गर्नुभएको छ । पुर्वीय बतासका दिनमा झैं आफ्नो डरलाग्दो सासले उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई लखेट्नुभएको छ ।
In exact measure you have contended, sending Jacob and Israel away; he drove them away with his fierce breath in the day of the east wind.
9 यसैले यसरी याकूबको अपराधको प्रयाश्चित गरिनेछ, किनकि यही नै त्यसको पाप हटाउने कार्यको फल हुनेछः जति बेला उहाँले वेदीका ढुङ्गाहरूलाई खरी ढुङ्गाजस्तै बनाउनुहुन्छ र टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नुहुन्छ, अनि त्यहाँ कुनै अशेराको खम्बाहरू वा धूप चढाउने वेदी रहनेछैन ।
So in this way, the iniquity of Jacob will be atoned for, for this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin: when he will make all the altar stones as chalk and crushed to pieces, and no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
10 किनकि किल्लाबन्दी गरिएको सहर उजाड भएको छ, बासस्थानलाई उजाड-स्थानझैं उजाड पारिएको र त्यागिएको छ । त्यहाँ बाछा चर्छ, पल्टन्छ र त्यसको हाँगाहरू खान्छ ।
For the fortified city is desolate, the habitation is deserted and forsaken like the wilderness. There a calf feeds, and there he lies down and consumes its branches.
11 जब हाँगाहरू सुक्छन्, तब तिनीहरू भाँचिनेछन् । स्त्रीहरू आउनेछन् त्यसबाट आगो बाल्नेछन्, किनकि यी समझदार मानिसहरू होइनन् । यसकारण तिनीहरूका सृष्टिकर्ताले तिनीहरूलाई दया गर्नुहुनेछैन, अनि तिनीहरूलाई बनाउनुहुने तिनीहरूप्रति दयालु हुनुहुनेछैन ।
When the boughs are withered, they will be broken off. Women will come and make fires with them, for this is not a people of understanding. Therefore their Maker will not have compassion on them, and he who made them will not be merciful to them.
12 त्यो दिन यस्तो हुनेछ, परमप्रभुले यूफ्रेटिस नदीदेखि मिश्रदेशको खोलासम्म अन्न चुट्नुहुनेछ, अनि तिमीहरू इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई एक-एक गरी जम्मा गर्नुहुनेछ ।
It will come about on that day that Yahweh will thresh from the Euphrates River to the Wadi of Egypt and you, the people of Israel, will be gathered together one by one.
13 त्यस दिन एउटा ठुलो तुरही फुकिनेछ । अनि अश्शूरको देशमा नष्टभइरहेकाहरू र मिश्रदेशमा निस्कासितहरू आउनेछन्, तिनीहरूले यरूशलेमको पवित्र पर्वतमा परमप्रभुको आराधना गर्नेछन् ।
On that day a great trumpet will be blown; and the perishing ones in the land of Assyria will come, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, they will worship Yahweh on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
