< यशैया 29 >

1 अरीएललाई धिक्‍कार, ए अरीएल, सहर जहाँ दाऊदले छाउनी हाले! वर्षमाथि वर्ष थप् । चाडहरू फेरो मार्दै आऊन्!
Woe to Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the festivals come round.
2 तर म अरीएललाई घेरा हाल्नेछु, र त्यसले विलाप र शोक गर्नेछ । त्यो मेरो निम्ति बलिको वेदीजस्‍तो हुनेछ ।
But I will besiege Ariel, and she will be mourning and lamenting; and she will be to me like Ariel.
3 तेरो विरुद्धमा गोलाकार छाउनी म हाल्‍नेछु र तेरो विरुद्धमा पर्खालसहित घेरा म हाल्‍नेछु, र तेरो विरद्ध घेरा-मचानले म घेर्नेछु ।
I will encamp against you in a circle and will lay siege against you with a palisade, and I will raise siege works against you.
4 तँ जमिनमा ढालिनेछस् र जमिनबाट बोल्‍नेछस् । तँ धूलोबाट मलिन सोरमा बोल्‍नेछस् । तेरो आवाज जमिनबाट बोल्‍ने आत्माजस्तै हुनेछ र धूलोबाट तेरो आवाजले सुस्केर हाल्नेछ ।
You will be brought down and will speak from the ground; your speech will be low from the dust. Your voice will sound like a spirit that speaks from the ground, and out of the dust your speech will whisper.
5 ठुलो सङ्‍ख्‍यामा भएका तेरा आक्रमणकारीहरू मसिनो धूलोजस्ता हुनेछन् र असंख्या निर्दयीहरू उडेर जाने भुसजस्तै हुनेछन् । यो तुरुन्तै, एकै क्षणमा नै हुनेछ ।
The great number of your invaders will become like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones as chaff that passes away. It will happen suddenly, in an instant.
6 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु तँकहाँ गर्जन, भूकम्म, ठुलो आवाज, शक्तिशाली हावाहुरी र हिंस्रक आँधी र भष्‍म पार्ने आगोको ज्वालासहित आउनुहुनेछ ।
Yahweh of hosts will come to you with thunder, earthquake, great noise, with strong winds and violent storm, and the flames of a devouring fire.
7 यो सपनाजस्तो अर्थात् रातको दर्शनजस्तो हुने छः सबै जातिहरूका हुलले अरीएल र त्यसको किल्ला विरुद्ध लडाइँ गर्नेछन् । त्यसमाथि दावाब पार्न तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई र त्यसका किल्लाहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछन् ।
It will be like a dream, a vision of the night: A horde of all the nations will fight against Ariel and her stronghold. They will attack her and her fortifications to press upon her.
8 यो भोकाएको मानिसले खाइरहेको सपना देखेको, तर त्यो ब्युँझदा त्यसको पेट रित्तो भएजस्तै हुनेछ । यो तिर्खाएको मानिसले पानी पिइरहेको सपना देखेको, तर त्यो ब्युँझदा आफ्नो प्यास नमेटिएर छट्पटाइरहेको जस्तै हुनेछ । हो, सियोन पर्वतको विरुद्ध लडाइँ गर्ने धेरै जातिहरूलाई त्यस्तै हुनेछ ।
It will be like when a hungry man dreams he is eating, but when he awakes, his stomach is empty. It will be like when a thirsty man dreams that he is drinking, but he when he awakes, he is fainting, with his thirst not quenched. Yes, so will be the great number of nations that fights against Mount Zion.
9 आफै चकित होओ र अचम्म मान । आफैलाई अन्धा बन र अन्धा होओ! मतवाला होओ, तर दाखमद्यले होइन । लरखराओ, तर मद्यले होइन ।
Astonish yourselves and be astonished; blind yourselves and be blind! Be drunk, but not with wine; stagger, but not with beer.
10 किनकि परमप्रभुलले तिमीहरूमाथि गहिरो निद्राको आत्‍मा खन्याउनुभएको छ । उहाँले तिमीहरू अर्थात् अगमवक्ताहरूका आँखाहरू बन्द गर्नुभएको छ र तिमीहरू अर्थात् दर्शीहरूलाई शिरहरू ढाक्‍नुभएको छ ।
For Yahweh has poured out on you the spirit of deep sleep. He has closed your eyes, the prophets, and has covered your heads, the seers.
11 सबै प्रकाश तिमीहरूको निम्ति मोहोर लगाइएको एउटा पुस्तकजस्तो हुनेछ, जसलाई मानिसहरूले कोही जान्‍ने मानिसलाई “पढिदिनुहोस्” भन्‍दै देलान् । उसले पनि भन्छ, “म पढ्न सक्दिनँ, किनकि यसमा मोहोर लगाइएको छ ।”
All revelation has become to you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men might give to one who is learned, saying, “Read this.” He also says, “I cannot, for it is sealed.”
12 कोही पढ्न नसक्‍नेलाई “यो पढिदिनुहोस्” भन्दै दिंदा, उसले भन्‍छ, “म पढ्न सक्दिनँ ।”
If the book is given to one who cannot read, saying, “Read this,” he says, “I cannot read.”
13 परमप्रभु भन्‍नुभयो, “यी मानिसहरू आफ्‍ना मुखले मेरो नजिक आउँछन् र आफ्‍ना ओठले मेरो आदर गर्छन्, तर तिनीहरूका हृदय मबाट टाढा छ । मेरो निम्ति तिनीहरूले गर्ने आदरचाहिं मानिसहरूले सिकाएका आज्ञा मात्र हुन् ।
The Lord said, “This people comes close to me with their mouths and honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Their honor for me is only a commandment of men that has been taught.
14 यसकारण, हेर्, म यी मानिसहरूका माझमा अचम्‍मका कुरा, आश्‍चर्यमाथि आश्‍चर्य गर्नलाई अघि बढ्‍नेछु । तिनीहरूका बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूका बुद्धि नष्‍ट हुनेछ र तिनीहरूका विवेकशील मानिसहरूका समझ लोप हुनेछ ।”
Therefore, see, I will proceed to do a marvelous thing among this people, wonder after wonder. The wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their prudent men will disappear.”
15 परमप्रभुबाट आफ्‍ना योजनाहरूलाई गहन रूपमा लुकाउनेहरू र अन्धाकारमा काम गर्नेहरूलाई धिक्‍कार! तिनीहरू भन्छन्, “हामीलाई कसले देख्छ, र हामीलाई कसले चिन्छ?”
Woe to those who deeply hide their plans from Yahweh, and whose deeds are in darkness. They say, “Who sees us, and who knows us?”
16 तिमीहरूले कुराहरूलाई उल्टा बनाउँछौ! के कुमालेलाई माटोजस्तै ठान्‍ने, ताकि बनाइएको थोकले आफूलाई बनाउनेलाई यसो भनोस्, “त्यसले मलाई बनाएको होइन” वा बनाएको थोकले आफूलाई बनाउनेलाई भन्‍ने, “त्यसले मलाई बुझ्दैन”?
You turn things upside down! Should the potter be considered like clay, so that the thing that is made should say about him who made it, “He did not make me,” or the thing formed say about him who formed it, “He does not understand”?
17 केही क्षणमा नै लेबनानलाई खेत बनाइनेछ र खेतचाहिं जङ्गल हुनेछ ।
In just a little while, Lebanon will be turned into a field, and the field will become a forest.
18 त्यो दिनमा बहिराले वचनको पुस्तक सुन्‍नेछ र अन्‍धाका आँखाले गहन अन्धकारबाट देख्‍नेछ ।
On that day the deaf will hear the words of a book, and the eyes of the blind will see out of the deep darkness.
19 अत्यचारमा परेकाहरूले फेरि परमप्रभुमा आनन्द मनाउनेछन् र मानिसहरू माझका भएका गरीबहरूले इस्राएलको परमपवित्रमा आनन्द मनाउनेछन् ।
The oppressed will again rejoice in Yahweh, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 किनभने निर्दयीहरूको अन्त हुनेछ र गिल्ला गर्नेहरू लप हुनेछन् । दुष्‍ट गर्न रुचाउनेहरू सबै जनालाई निर्मूल पारिनेछ,
For the ruthless will cease, and the scoffer will vanish. All those who love to do evil will be eliminated,
21 जसले एक वचनले मानिसलाई दोष लगाउने बनाउँछ । तिनीहरूले न्याय खोज्ने व्यक्‍तिलाई ढोकामा पासो थाप्छन् र झुठ बोलेर धर्मीलाई तल खसाल्‍छन् ।
who by a word make a man out to be an offender. They lay a snare for him who seeks justice at the gate and put the righteous down with empty lies.
22 यसकारण, परमप्रभुले याकूबको घरानाको बारेमा, अब्राहमलाई उद्धार गर्नुहुने परमप्रभुले यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “याकूब कुनै पनि हालतमा लज्‍जित हुनेछैन, न उसको मुहार नै पहेंलो हुनेछ ।
Therefore this is what Yahweh says concerning the house of Jacob—Yahweh, who redeemed Abraham, “Jacob will no longer be ashamed, nor will his face be pale.
23 तर उसले आफ्ना छोराछोरी अर्थात् मेरा हातका कामलाई देख्‍छ, तब तिनीहरूले मेरो नाउँलाई पवित्र तुल्याउनेछन् । तिनीहरूले याकूबको परमपवित्रको नाउँलाई पवित्र तुल्याउनेछन् र तिनीहरू इस्राएलको परमेश्‍वरको भयमा खडा हुनेछन् ।
But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, they will make my name holy. They will make holy the name of the Holy One of Jacob and they will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
24 ती आत्मामा गल्ती गर्नेहरूले समझ प्राप्‍त गर्नेछन् र गनगन गर्नेहरूले ज्ञान सिक्‍नेछन् ।”
Those who err in spirit will gain understanding, and complainers will learn knowledge.”
