यशैया 28

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

Ho! crown of pride of those who are given up to wine in Ephraim, and the dead flower of his glory which is on the head of those who are overcome by strong drink!

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 ।

See, the Lord has a strong and cruel one; like a rain of ice, a storm of destruction, like the overflowing of a strong river, he will violently overcome them.

3 एफ्राइमका मतवालाहरूका गौरवशाली फुलमालालाई खुट्टाले कुल्चिमिल्ची गरिनेछ ।

The crown of pride of those who are given up to wine in Ephraim will be crushed under foot;

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 ।

And the dead flower of his glory, which is on the head of the fertile valley, will be like the first early fruit before the summer; which a man takes and puts in his mouth the minute he sees it.

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

In that day will the Lord of armies be a crown of glory, and a fair ornament, to the rest of his people;

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

And a spirit of wisdom to the judge, and strength to those who keep back the attackers at the door of the town.

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 ।

And further, these are uncertain through wine, and have gone out of the right way through strong drink: the priest and the prophet are uncertain through strong drink, they are overcome by wine, they have gone out of the way through strong drink; their vision is false, they go wrong in their decisions.

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

For all the tables are covered with coughed-up food, so that there is not a clean place.

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

To whom will he give knowledge? and to whom will he make clear the word? Will it be to those who have newly given up milk, and who have only now been taken from the breast?

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

For it is one rule after another; one line after another; here a little, there a little.

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

No, but with broken talk, and with a strange tongue, he will give his word 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 said, This is the rest, give rest to him who is tired; and by this you may get new strength; but they would not give ear.

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 ।

For this cause the word of the Lord will be to them rule after rule, line after line, here a little, there a little; so that they may go on their way, and falling back may be broken, and taken in the net.

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

Give ear then to the word of the Lord, you men of pride, the rulers of 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)

Because you have said, We have made death our friend, and with the underworld we have made an agreement; when the overflowing waters come through they will not come near us; for we are looking to false words for help, taking cover in what is untrue: (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 ।

For this cause says the Lord God, See, I am placing in Zion as a base, a stone, a tested stone, an angle-stone which is certain and of great value: and he who has faith will not give way.

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

And I will make right decision the measuring-line, and righteousness the weight: and the ice-storm will take away the safe place of false words, and the secret place will be covered by the flowing waters.

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

And the help you were looking for from death will come to nothing, and your agreement with the underworld will be broken; when the overflowing waters come through, then you will be overcome by them. (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 ।

Whenever they come through they will overtake you; for they will come through morning after morning, by day and by night: and the news will be nothing but fear.

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

For the bed is not long enough for a man to be stretched out on: and the cover is not wide enough for him to be covered with.

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

For the Lord will come up as on Mount Perazim, he will be moved to wrath as in the valley of Gibeon; so that he may do his work — strange is his work; and give effect to his act — unnatural is his act.

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

And now, take care that you do not make sport of him, or your bands will be made strong; for I have had word from the Lord, the Lord of armies, of an end, of a complete end, which is to come on all the land.

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

Let your ears be open to my voice; give attention to 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?

Is the ploughman for ever ploughing? does he not get the earth ready and broken up for the seed?

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 the face of the earth has been levelled, does he not put in the different sorts of seed, and the grain in lines, and the barley in its place, and the spelt at the edge?

26 त्यसको परमेश्‍वरले त्यसलाई सिकाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले त्यसलाई बुद्धिमनीसाथ सिकाउनुहुन्छ ।

For his God is his teacher, giving him the knowledge of these things.

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

For the fitches are not crushed with a sharp instrument, and a cart-wheel is not rolled over the cummin; but the grain of the fitches is hammered out with a stick, and of the cummin 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 ।

Is the grain for bread crushed? He does not go on crushing it for ever, but he lets his cart-wheels and his horses go over it without crushing it.

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

This comes from the Lord of armies, purposing wonders, and wise in all his acts.
