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 proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim, To the fading flower, his glorious beauty, At the head of the rich valley of a people stupefied with 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 a strong, a mighty one from the Lord Like a storm of hail, like a destructive tempest, Like a flood of mighty, overflowing waters, With violence shall dash it to the ground.
3 एफ्राइमका मतवालाहरूका गौरवशाली फुलमालालाई खुट्टाले कुल्चिमिल्ची गरिनेछ ।
It shall be trodden under foot, The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim.
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 fading flower, their glorious beauty, At the head of the rich valley, Shall be as the early fig before the time of harvest, Which whoso seeth plucketh immediately, And swalloweth as soon as it is in his hand.
5 त्यो दिनमा सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु नै सुन्दर मुकुट बन्नुहुनेछ र आफ्ना बाँकी रहेका मानिसहरूका निम्ति महिमाको मुकुट बन्नुहुनेछ ।
In that day shall Jehovah of hosts Be a glorious crown, and a beautiful diadem to the residue of his people;
6 न्याय आसनमा बस्नेको निम्ति न्यायको आत्मा र आफ्ना ढोकाहरूमा आफ्ना शत्रुलाई फर्काउनेहरूका निम्ति सामर्थ्य हुनुहुनेछ ।
A spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, And of strength to them that drive back the enemy to their gates.
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 ।
But even these stagger through wine, And reel through strong drink; The priest and the prophet stagger through strong drink; They are overpowered with wine; They stumble through strong drink; They reel in vision, They stagger in judgment.
8 साँच्चै नै सबै टेबलहरू बान्ताले ढाकेकोछ, जसले गर्दा त्यहाँ कुनै सफा ठाउँ नै छैन ।
For all their tables are full of filthy vomit, So that there is no place clean.
9 त्यसले कसलाई ज्ञान सिकाउनेछ र त्यसले कसलाई सन्देश बताउनेछ? जसलाई दूध छोडाइएका छन् वा जसलाई बरखरै दूधबाट अलग गरिका छन्?
“Whom,” say they, “will he teach knowledge, And to whom will he impart instruction? To the weaned from the milk? To those just taken from the breast?
10 किनकि यो आज्ञामाथि आज्ञा, आज्ञामाथि आज्ञा, नियममाथि नियम, नियममाथि नियम, अलिकति यहाँ, अलिकति त्यहाँ ।
For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Command upon command, command upon command, A little here, and a little there.”
11 साच्चै, यी मानिहरूसँग उहाँले गिल्ला गर्ने ओठहरू र विदेशी भाषामा बोल्नुहुनेछ ।
Yea, with stammering lips and a strange tongue He shall indeed 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 ।
He that said to them, “This is the way of rest, give rest to the weary; This is the way of safety”; But they would not hear.
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 shall the word of Jehovah be indeed to them “Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Command upon command, command upon command, A little here, and a little there,” So that they shall go on, and fall backwards, and be broken, And be snared and caught.
14 त्यसैले ए गिल्ला गर्नेहरू हो, तिमीहरू जसले यरूशलेममा भएका यी मानिसहरूमाथि राज्य गर्छौ, तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुको वचन सुन ।
Wherefore hear ye the word of Jehovah, Ye 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)
Since ye say, “We have entered into a covenant with death, And with the under-world have we made an agreement, The overflowing scourge, when it passeth through, shall not reach us; For we have made falsehood our refuge, And in deceit we have hidden ourselves.” (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 ।
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I have laid in Zion as a foundation a stone, A tried stone, a precious corner-stone, a sure foundation; He that trusteth shall not flee away.
17 न्यायलाई म नाप्ने लट्ठी र धर्मिकतालाई साहुल बनाउनेछु । असिनाले झुटको शरणस्थानलाई बढार्नेछ र बाढीले लुक्ने ठाउँलाई डुबाउनेछ ।
I will make justice a line, And righteousness a plummet, And the hail shall sweep away the refuge of falsehood, And the waters shall overwhelm its hiding-place;
18 मृत्युसँग गरेको तिमीहरूको करार खारेज हुनेछ र चिहानसँगको तिमीहरूको सहमति रहनेछैन । जब उर्लंदो बाढी आउँछ, त्यसले तिमीहरूलाई डुबाउनेछ । (Sheol h7585)
And your covenant with death shall be broken, And your agreement with the under-world shall not stand; When the overflowing scourge shall pass through, By it shall ye be beaten down. (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 passeth through, it shall bear you away; For every morning shall it pass through, By day and by night; Even to hear the rumor of it shall be terrible.
20 किनकि तन्केर सुत्नलाई ओछ्यान छोटो छ र आफूलाई ढाक्न कम्बल सानो छ ।”
Yea, the bed is too short for one to stretch himself on it, And the covering too narrow for one to wrap himself in it.
21 पराजीम पर्वतझैं परमप्रभु उठ्नुहुनेछ । गिबोनको बेंसीमा झैं आफ्नो काम, आफ्नो अनौठो काम र उहाँको अद्भुत काम गर्न उहाँ उठ्नुहुनेछ ।
For Jehovah will rise up, as in mount Perazim; He will be moved with anger, as in the valley of Gibeon, To perform his act, his strange act, And to execute his work, his strange work.
22 यसकारण, अब गिल्ला नगर, नत्र तिमीहरूको बन्धन झन् कसिलो पारिनेछ । मैले सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु परमेश्वरबाट पृथ्वीको विनाशको उर्दी सुनेको छु ।
Now, therefore, be ye no longer scoffers, Lest your bands become stronger; For destruction and punishment have been revealed to me From Jehovah of hosts concerning the whole land!
23 ध्यान देओ र मेरो आवाज सुन । ध्यान मग्न होओ र मेरा वचनहरू सुन ।
Give ear, and listen to my voice, Attend, and hearken to my words!
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 always ploughing in order to sow? Is he always opening and harrowing his field?
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 hath made the face thereof even, Doth he not then scatter the dill, and cast abroad the cumin, And sow the wheat in rows, And the barley in its appointed place, And the spelt in his border?
26 त्यसको परमेश्वरले त्यसलाई सिकाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले त्यसलाई बुद्धिमनीसाथ सिकाउनुहुन्छ ।
Thus his God rightly instructeth him, And giveth him knowledge.
27 अनि सूँपलाई हथौडाले झारिंदैन, न जीरालाई झार्न गाडा नै गुडाइन्छ । तर सूँपलाई लट्ठीले कुटिन्छ र जीरालाई लुहुरोले कुटिन्छ ।
The dill is not beaten out with the thrashing-sledge, Nor is the wheel of the wain rolled over the cumin; But the dill is beaten out with a staff, And the 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 ।
Bread-corn is beaten out, Yet doth not the husbandman thrash it without limit. He driveth over it the wheels of the wain, And the horses, yet doth he not utterly crush it.
29 यो पनि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुबाट नै आउँछ, जो शिक्षा दिनमा अति हसल र बुद्धिमा उत्कृष्ट हुनुहुन्छ ।
This also proceedeth from Jehovah of hosts; He is wonderful in counsel, Excellent in wisdom.
