< यशैया 3 >
1 हेर, सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले यरूशलेम र यहूदाबाट, टेवा र लट्टी: अर्थात् रोटीको सारा आफुर्ती र पानीको सारा आपुर्ती,
For, behold, the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah support and staff, the whole support of bread, and the whole support of water,
2 वीर मानिसहरू र योद्धाहरू, न्यायकर्ता र अगमवक्ता, जोखना हेर्नेहरू र धर्मगुरुहरू,
the mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the diviner, and the elder,
3 पचास जनाका कप्तानहरू र आदरणिय नागरिक, सल्लाहकारहरू, सिपालु कारीगरहरू र निपुण जादूगरहरू हटाउन लाग्नुभएको छ ।
the captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counselor, and the expert craftsman, and the skilful enchanter.
4 “युवाहरूलाई मात्र म तिनीहरूका अगुवाहरूको बनाउनेछु र जवानहरूले तिनीहरूमाथि शासन गर्नेछन् ।
And I will give sons to be their rulers, and babes shall rule over them.
5 हरेक मानिस एउटाले अर्कोलाई, हरेक आफ्नै छिमेकीद्वरा मानिसहरूले अत्याचार गर्नेछन् । बालकले वृद्धको अपमान गर्नेछ र तुच्छले आदरणियलाई चुनौति दिनेछ ।
And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor. The child shall behave himself proudly against the old man, and the base against the honorable.
6 एक जना मानिसले आफ्नै बुबाको घरमा आफ्नै दाजुलाई समातेर यसो भन्ने छ, 'तिमीसँग कोट छ । हाम्रो शासक होऊ, र यो विनाश जिम्मा तिमीले लेऊ ।'
When a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, Thou have clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand,
7 त्यो दिनमा ऊ चिच्याउनेछ र भन्नेछ, 'म निको पार्ने हुनेछैन । मसँग रोटी वा लुगा छैन । तिमीहरूले मलाई मानिसहरूका शासक बनाउनेछैनौ' ।”
in that day he shall lift up his voice, saying, I will not be a healer, for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. Ye shall not make me ruler of the people.
8 किनकि यरूशलेमले ठेस खाएको छ र यहूदा ढलेको छ, किनभने तिनीहरूका बोलिवचन र कामहरू परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा छन्, उहाँको महिमाको दृष्टिको विरोध गर्छन् ।
For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen, because their tongue and their doings are against Jehovah, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
9 तिनीहरूका विरुद्धको गवाहीहरू तिनीहरूकै अनुहारहरूमा खोज्नुहोस् । अनि सदोमले झैं तिनीहरूले आफ्ना पाप भन्नेछन् । तिनीहरूले त्यो लुकाउने छैनन् । तिनीहरूलाई धिक्कार! किनकि तिनीहरूले आफ्नै निम्ति सर्वनाश पुरा गरेका छन् ।
The show of their countenance witnesses against them, and they declare their sin as Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have done evil to themselves.
10 धर्मी मानिसलाई राम्रो हुनेछ भन, किनकि तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कामहरूका फल खानेछन् ।
Say ye of the righteous, that it is well, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11 दुष्टलाई धिक्कार! उसलाई खराब हुनेछ, किनकि उहाँको हातको बदला उसैमाथि पर्नेछ ।
Woe to the wicked! It is ill with him, for what his hands have done shall be done to him.
12 मेरा मानिसहरू—बालबालिका तिनीहरूका अत्याचारी हुन् र स्त्रीहरूले तिनीहरूमाथि शासन गर्नेछन् । मेरा मानिसहरू, तँलाई अगुवाइ गर्नेहरूले तँलाई भड्काउनेछन् र तेरा मार्ग कता जाने भन्ने कुरा नै अलमलमा पार्नेछन् ।
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, those who lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
13 दोष लगाउनलाई परमप्रभु खडा हुनुहुन्छ । मानिसहरूलाई दोष लगाउन उहाँ खडा हुनुहुन्छ ।
Jehovah stands up to contend, and stands to judge the peoples.
14 आफ्ना मानिसहरूका धर्मगुरुहरू र तिनीहरूका अगुवाहरू विरुद्ध परमप्रभु न्याय लिएर आउनुहुनेछः “तिमीहरूले दाखबारी विनाश पारेका छौ । गरीबलाई लुटेको माल तिमीहरूका घरहरूमा छन् ।
Jehovah will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and the rulers of it. It is ye who have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of a poor man is in your houses.
15 तिमीहरूले मेरा मानिसहरूलाई किन कुल्चन्छौ र गरिबहरूको अनुहारहरू किन पिस्छौ?” यो सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
What do ye mean that ye crush my people, and grind the face of the poor? says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
16 परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, सियोनकी छोरीहरू घमण्डी छन्, तिनीहरू मुण्टो ठाडो पार्दै, चञ्चले आँखाले, हिंड्दा छोटो-छोटो पाइला सारेर, तिनीहरूका गोडामा भएका पाउजुका छिन्छिन् आवाज निकाल्दै हिंड्छन् ।
Moreover Jehovah said, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with outstretched necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet,
17 यसकारण परमप्रभुले सियोनकी छोरीहरूका टाउकोमा घावै-घाउ पार्नुहुनेछ, र परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई मुडुलो पार्नुहुनेछ ।
therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and Jehovah will lay bare their secret parts.
18 त्यो दिन परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूका सुन्दर पाउजुहरू, शिरबन्दीहरू, चन्द्रहारहरू,
In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, and the hair nets, and the crescents,
19 कुण्डलहरू, बालाहरू, झुम्काहरू,
the pendants, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
20 शिर ढाक्नेहरू, कल्लीहरू, पटुकाहरू, अत्तरदानीहरू, जन्तरहरू,
the bonnets, and the ankle chains, and the sashes, and the perfume-boxes, and the amulets,
the rings, and the nose-jewels,
22 चाडका वस्त्रहरू, पछ्यौराहरू, घुम्टोहरू, हाते-ब्यागहरू,
the festival robes, and the mantles, and the shawls, and the satchels,
23 हाते-ऐनाहरू, मसिनो मलमल, शिरफुलहरू र मजेत्रोहरू हटाउनुहुनेछ ।
the hand-mirrors, and the fine linen, and the turbans, and the veils.
24 सुगन्धित अत्तरको सट्टामा दूर्गन्ध हुनेछ । अनि पटुकाको सट्टामा डोरी हुनेछ । राम्ररी कोरेको कपालको सट्टामा मुडुलो हुनेछ । अनि पोशाकको सट्टामा भाङ्ग्राको लुगा हुनेछ । र सुन्दरताको सट्टामा डामै-डाम हुनेछ ।
And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet spices there shall be rottenness, and instead of a girdle, a rope, and instead of well set hair, baldness, and instead of a robe, a girding of sackcloth, branding instead of beauty.
25 तेरा मानिसहरू तरवारले मारिनेछन् र तेरा बलिया मानिसहरू युद्धमा ढल्नेछन् ।
Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
26 यरूशलेमका ढोकाहरूले विलाप र विलौना गर्नेछन् । अनि त्यो एक्लो हुनेछ र भूइँमा बस्नेछ ।
And her gates shall lament and mourn, and she shall be desolate and sit upon the ground.
