यशैया 28

1 एफ्राइमका प्रत्‍येक मतवालाहरूले लगाएका गौरवशाली फुलमाला र त्‍यसको महिमित सुन्दरताको ओइलाउने फुललाई, दाखमद्यले लट्ठ परेकाहरूका हरियाली बेसीको शिरमा लगाइएको फुलमालालाई धिक्‍कार!

Woe to the majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards, to the fading flower of his glorious splendor, set on the summit above the fertile valley, the pride of those overcome by wine.

2 हेर, परमप्रभुले शक्तिशाली र बलियो एक जनालाई, असिनाको हुरीबतासझैं अनि विनाशकारी आँधीझैं, मुसलधार झरी र बाडीको पानीझैं पठाउनुहुन्‍छ र उहाँले प्रत्‍येक फुलमालालाई जमिनमा फाल्‍नुहुनेछ ।

Behold, the Lord has one who is strong and mighty. Like a hailstorm or destructive tempest, like a driving rain or flooding downpour, he will smash that crown to the ground.

3 एफ्राइमका मतवालाहरूका गौरवशाली फुलमालालाई खुट्टाले कुल्चिमिल्ची गरिनेछ ।

The majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards will be trampled underfoot.

4 त्‍यसको महिमित सुन्दरताको ओइलाउने फुल अर्थात् धनी बेसीको शिरमा रहेको छ, त्‍यो पहिले पाकेको अन्‍जिरजस्‍तो हुनेछ, जब कसैले त्‍यसलाई देख्‍छ, तब आफ्नो हातमा हुँदा नै त्यसले त्‍यो निलिहाल्‍छ ।

The fading flower of his beautiful splendor, set on the summit above the fertile valley, will be like a ripe fig before the summer harvest: Whoever sees it will take it in his hand and swallow it.

5 त्यो दिनमा सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु नै सुन्दर मुकुट बन्‍नुहुनेछ र आफ्‍ना बाँकी रहेका मानिसहरूका निम्‍ति महिमाको मुकुट बन्‍नुहुनेछ ।

On that day the LORD of Hosts will be a crown of glory, a diadem of splendor to the remnant of His people,

6 न्याय आसनमा बस्‍नेको निम्ति न्यायको आत्मा र आफ्‍ना ढोकाहरूमा आफ्ना शत्रुलाई फर्काउनेहरूका निम्ति सामर्थ्य हुनुहुनेछ ।

a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and a strength to those who repel the onslaught at the gate.

7 तर यिनीहरू पनि दाखमद्यले लरबराउछन् र कडा मद्यले लरखराउछन् । पुजारी र अगमवक्ता कडा मद्यले लरखाराउछन् र दाखमद्यले तिनीहरूलाई निल्छ । कडा मद्यले तिनीहरू लरखराउँछन्, तिनीहरू दर्शनमा लरखराउँछन् र निर्णयमा लरबराउँछन् ।

These also stagger from wine and stumble from strong drink: Priests and prophets reel from strong drink and are befuddled by wine. They stumble because of strong drink, muddled in their visions and stumbling in their judgments.

8 साँच्‍चै नै सबै टेबलहरू बान्ताले ढाकेकोछ, जसले गर्दा त्यहाँ कुनै सफा ठाउँ नै छैन ।

For all their tables are covered with vomit; there is not a place without filth.

9 त्यसले कसलाई ज्ञान सिकाउनेछ र त्यसले कसलाई सन्देश बताउनेछ? जसलाई दूध छोडाइएका छन् वा जसलाई बरखरै दूधबाट अलग गरिका छन्?

Whom is He trying to teach? To whom is He explaining His message? To infants just weaned from milk? To babies removed from the breast?

10 किनकि यो आज्ञामाथि आज्ञा, आज्ञामाथि आज्ञा, नियममाथि नियम, नियममाथि नियम, अलिकति यहाँ, अलिकति त्यहाँ ।

For they hear: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there.”

11 साच्‍चै, यी मानिहरूसँग उहाँले गिल्‍ला गर्ने ओठहरू र विदेशी भाषामा बोल्‍नुहुनेछ ।

Indeed, with mocking lips and foreign tongues, He will speak to this people

12 विगतमा उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “यो विश्राम हो, जो थकित हुन्‍छ त्यसलाई विश्राम गर्न देओ । अनि यो ताजा हुने कुरा हो,” तर तिनीहरू सुन्‍दैनन् ।

to whom He has said: “This is the place of rest, let the weary rest; this is the place of repose.” But they would not listen.

13 त्यसैले तिनीहरूको निम्ति परमप्रभुको वचन आज्ञामाथि आज्ञा, आज्ञामाथि आज्ञा, नियममाथि नियम, नियममाथि नियम, अलिकति यहाँ, अलिकति त्यहाँ हुनेछ । ताकि तिनीहरू जान र पछि हट्न र तोडिन र समातिन सक्छन् ।

Then the word of the LORD to them will become: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there,” so that they will go stumbling backward and will be injured, ensnared, and captured.

14 त्यसैले ए गिल्ला गर्नेहरू हो, तिमीहरू जसले यरूशलेममा भएका यी मानिसहरूमाथि राज्‍य गर्छौ, तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुको वचन सुन ।

Therefore hear the word of the LORD, O scoffers who rule this people in Jerusalem.

15 तिमीहरूले यसो भनेका हुनाले यस्‍तो हुनेछ, “हामीले मृत्युसित करार बाँधेका छौं र चिहनसँग हामी समहती गरेका छौं । त्यसैले डरलाग्‍दो कोर्राले हामीलाई भेट्टाउँदा, त्‍यो हामीकहाँ पुग्‍नेछैन । किनकि हामीले झुठलाई हाम्रो शरणस्थान बनाएका छौं र असत्‍यमा वास बसेका छौं।” (Sheol h7585)

For you said, “We have made a covenant with death; we have fashioned an agreement with Sheol. When the overwhelming scourge passes through it will not touch us, because we have made lies our refuge and falsehood our hiding place.” (Sheol h7585)

16 यसकारण परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर भन्‍नहुन्छ, “हेर्, म सियोनमा एउटा जगको ढुङ्गा, जाँचिएको ढुङ्गा, बहुमूल्‍य कुनेढुङ्गा, एउटा बलयो जग राख्‍नेछु । जसले विश्‍वास गर्छ ऊ लाजमा पर्नेछैन ।

So this is what the Lord GOD says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; the one who believes will never be shaken.

17 न्यायलाई म नाप्‍ने लट्ठी र धर्मिकतालाई साहुल बनाउनेछु । असिनाले झुटको शरणस्थानलाई बढार्नेछ र बाढीले लुक्‍ने ठाउँलाई डुबाउनेछ ।

I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the level. Hail will sweep away your refuge of lies, and water will flood your hiding place.

18 मृत्युसँग गरेको तिमीहरूको करार खारेज हुनेछ र चिहानसँगको तिमीहरूको सहमति रहनेछैन । जब उर्लंदो बाढी आउँछ, त्‍यसले तिमीहरूलाई डुबाउनेछ । (Sheol h7585)

Your covenant with death will be dissolved, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand. When the overwhelming scourge passes through, you will be trampled by it. (Sheol h7585)

19 जब त्‍यो आउँछ त्‍यसले तिमीहरूलाई डुबाउनेछ, त्‍यो हरेक बिहान आउनेछ र त्‍यो दिन र रात आउनेछ । जब सन्देश बुझिन्छ, त्‍यसले त्रास पैदा गर्नेछ ।

As often as it passes through, it will carry you away; it will sweep through morning after morning, by day and by night.” The understanding of this message will bring sheer terror.

20 किनकि तन्केर सुत्‍नलाई ओछ्यान छोटो छ र आफूलाई ढाक्‍न कम्बल सानो छ ।”

Indeed, the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket too small to wrap around you.

21 पराजीम पर्वतझैं परमप्रभु उठ्नुहुनेछ । गिबोनको बेंसीमा झैं आफ्‍नो काम, आफ्‍नो अनौठो काम र उहाँको अद्‍भुत काम गर्न उहाँ उठ्नुहुनेछ ।

For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim. He will rouse Himself as in the Valley of Gibeon, to do His work, His strange work, and to perform His task, His disturbing task.

22 यसकारण, अब गिल्ला नगर, नत्र तिमीहरूको बन्धन झन् कसिलो पारिनेछ । मैले सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरबाट पृथ्वीको विनाशको उर्दी सुनेको छु ।

So now, do not mock, or your shackles will become heavier. Indeed, I have heard from the Lord GOD of Hosts a decree of destruction against the whole land.

23 ध्यान देओ र मेरो आवाज सुन । ध्यान मग्‍न होओ र मेरा वचनहरू सुन ।

Listen and hear my voice. Pay attention and hear what I say.

24 छर्नलाई दिनभरि जोत्‍ने किसानले के जमिन जोत्‍ने काम मात्र गर्छ र? के उसले बाँजो फुटाउने र डल्लो फुटाउँछ मात्र गर्छ र?

Does the plowman plow for planting every day? Does he continuously loosen and harrow the soil?

25 जब त्यसले जमिन तयार पार्छ, के त्यसले सूँप छर्ने र जीराको बीउ फैलाउने, गहुँलाई ड्‍याङमा रोप्‍ने र जौलाई ठिक ठाउँमा र कठियालाई यसको छेउहरूमा रोप्दैन?

When he has leveled its surface, does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin? He plants wheat in rows and barley in plots, and rye within its border.

26 त्यसको परमेश्‍वरले त्यसलाई सिकाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले त्यसलाई बुद्धिमनीसाथ सिकाउनुहुन्छ ।

For his God instructs and teaches him properly.

27 अनि सूँपलाई हथौडाले झारिंदैन, न जीरालाई झार्न गाडा नै गुडाइन्छ । तर सूँपलाई लट्ठीले कुटिन्छ र जीरालाई लुहुरोले कुटिन्छ ।

Surely caraway is not threshed with a sledge, and the wheel of a cart is not rolled over the cumin. But caraway is beaten out with a stick, and cumin with a rod.

28 रोटी बनाउन अन्‍नलाई पिसिन्छ, तर अति मिहिन पारिंदैन, र त्‍यसको गाडाका पाङ्ग्राहरू र त्यसका घोडाहरूले यसलाई छरे तापनि त्यसका घोडाहरूले यसलाई चूरचूर पार्दैनन् ।

Grain for bread must be ground, but it is not endlessly threshed. Though the wheels of the cart roll over it, the horses do not crush it.

29 यो पनि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुबाट नै आउँछ, जो शिक्षा दिनमा अति हसल र बुद्धिमा उत्कृष्‍ट हुनुहुन्छ । ‍

This also comes from the LORD of Hosts, who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in wisdom.
