< 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 feasts come around;
2 तर म अरीएललाई घेरा हाल्नेछु, र त्यसले विलाप र शोक गर्नेछ । त्यो मेरो निम्ति बलिको वेदीजस्‍तो हुनेछ ।
then I will distress Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me as an altar hearth.
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 all around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. 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 out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech will whisper out of the dust.
5 ठुलो सङ्‍ख्‍यामा भएका तेरा आक्रमणकारीहरू मसिनो धूलोजस्ता हुनेछन् र असंख्या निर्दयीहरू उडेर जाने भुसजस्तै हुनेछन् । यो तुरुन्तै, एकै क्षणमा नै हुनेछ ।
But the multitude of your foes will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will be in an instant, suddenly.
6 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु तँकहाँ गर्जन, भूकम्म, ठुलो आवाज, शक्तिशाली हावाहुरी र हिंस्रक आँधी र भष्‍म पार्ने आगोको ज्वालासहित आउनुहुनेछ ।
She will be visited by the LORD of Armies with thunder, with earthquake, with great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and with the flame 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 ।
The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, will be like a dream, a vision of the night.
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, and behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn’t satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.
9 आफै चकित होओ र अचम्म मान । आफैलाई अन्धा बन र अन्धा होओ! मतवाला होओ, तर दाखमद्यले होइन । लरखराओ, तर मद्यले होइन ।
Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
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 the LORD has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets; and he 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 vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is educated, saying, “Read this, please;” and he says, “I can’t, for it is sealed;”
12 कोही पढ्न नसक्‍नेलाई “यो पढिदिनुहोस्” भन्दै दिंदा, उसले भन्‍छ, “म पढ्न सक्दिनँ ।”
and the book is delivered to one who is not educated, saying, “Read this, please;” and he says, “I can’t 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, “Because this people draws near with their mouth and honours me with their lips, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which 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, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work amongst this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their prudent men will be hidden.”
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 counsel from the LORD, and whose deeds are in the dark, and who 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 thought to be like clay, that the thing made should say about him who made it, “He didn’t make me;” or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding”?
17 केही क्षणमा नै लेबनानलाई खेत बनाइनेछ र खेतचाहिं जङ्गल हुनेछ ।
Isn’t it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded as a forest?
18 त्यो दिनमा बहिराले वचनको पुस्तक सुन्‍नेछ र अन्‍धाका आँखाले गहन अन्धकारबाट देख्‍नेछ ।
In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
19 अत्यचारमा परेकाहरूले फेरि परमप्रभुमा आनन्द मनाउनेछन् र मानिसहरू माझका भएका गरीबहरूले इस्राएलको परमपवित्रमा आनन्द मनाउनेछन् ।
The humble also will increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor amongst 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 is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases, and all those who are alert to do evil are cut off—
21 जसले एक वचनले मानिसलाई दोष लगाउने बनाउँछ । तिनीहरूले न्याय खोज्ने व्यक्‍तिलाई ढोकामा पासो थाप्छन् र झुठ बोलेर धर्मीलाई तल खसाल्‍छन् ।
who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for one who reproves in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony.
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 the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, says concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall his face grow 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, in the middle of him, they will sanctify my name. Yes, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
24 ती आत्मामा गल्ती गर्नेहरूले समझ प्राप्‍त गर्नेछन् र गनगन गर्नेहरूले ज्ञान सिक्‍नेछन् ।”
They also who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will receive instruction.”
