यशैया 3

1 हेर, सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले यरूशलेम र यहूदाबाट, टेवा र लट्टी: अर्थात् रोटीको सारा आफुर्ती र पानीको सारा आपुर्ती,

For the Lord, the Lord of armies, is about to take away from Jerusalem and from Judah all their support; their store of bread and of water;

2 वीर मानिसहरू र योद्धाहरू, न्यायकर्ता र अगमवक्ता, जोखना हेर्नेहरू र धर्मगुरुहरू,

The strong man and the man of war; the judge and the prophet; the man who has knowledge of secret arts, and the man who is wise because of his years;

3 पचास जनाका कप्‍तानहरू र आदरणिय नागरिक, सल्‍लाहकारहरू, सिपालु कारीगरहरू र निपुण जादूगरहरू हटाउन लाग्‍नुभएको छ ।

The captain of fifty, and the man of high position, and the wise guide, and the wonder-worker, and he who makes use of secret powers.

4 “युवाहरूलाई मात्र म तिनीहरूका अगुवाहरूको बनाउनेछु र जवानहरूले तिनीहरूमाथि शासन गर्नेछन् ।

And I will make children their chiefs, and foolish ones will have 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 will be crushed, every one by his neighbour; the young will be full of pride against the old, and those of low position will be lifted up against the noble.

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 one man puts his hand on another in his father's house, and says, You have clothing, be our ruler and be responsible for us in our sad condition:

7 त्यो दिनमा ऊ चिच्याउनेछ र भन्‍नेछ, 'म निको पार्ने हुनेछैन । मसँग रोटी वा लुगा छैन । तिमीहरूले मलाई मानिसहरूका शासक बनाउनेछैनौ' ।”

Then he will say with an oath, I will not be a helper, for in my house there is no bread or clothing: I will not let you make me a 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 has become feeble, and destruction has come on Judah, because their words and their acts are against the Lord, moving the eyes of his glory to wrath.

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 ।

Their respect for a man's position is a witness against them; and their sin is open to the view of all; like that of Sodom, it is not covered. A curse on their soul! for the measure of their sin is full.

10 धर्मी मानिसलाई राम्रो हुनेछ भन, किनकि तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना कामहरूका फल खानेछन् ।

Happy is the upright man! for he will have joy of the fruit of his ways.

11 दुष्‍टलाई धिक्‍कार! उसलाई खराब हुनेछ, किनकि उहाँको हातको बदला उसैमाथि पर्नेछ ।

Unhappy is the sinner! for the reward of his evil doings will come on 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, their ruler is acting like a child, and those who have authority over them are women. O my people, your guides are the cause of your wandering, turning your footsteps out of the right way.

13 दोष लगाउनलाई परमप्रभु खडा हुनुहुन्छ । मानिसहरूलाई दोष लगाउन उहाँ खडा हुनुहुन्छ ।

The Lord is ready to take up his cause against his people, and is about to come forward as their judge.

14 आफ्‍ना मानिसहरूका धर्मगुरुहरू र तिनीहरूका अगुवाहरू विरुद्ध परमप्रभु न्‍याय लिएर आउनुहुनेछः “तिमीहरूले दाखबारी विनाश पारेका छौ । गरीबलाई लुटेको माल तिमीहरूका घरहरूमा छन् ।

The Lord comes to be the judge of their responsible men and of their rulers: it is you who have made waste the vine-garden, and in your houses is the property of the poor which you have taken by force.

15 तिमीहरूले मेरा मानिसहरूलाई किन कुल्चन्छौ र गरिबहरूको अनुहारहरू किन पिस्‍छौ?” यो सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।

By what right are you crushing my people, and putting a bitter yoke on the necks of the poor? This is the word of the Lord, the Lord of armies.

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 ।

Again, the Lord has said, Because the daughters of Zion are full of pride, and go with outstretched necks and wandering eyes, with their foot-chains sounding when they go:

17 यसकारण परमप्रभुले सियोनकी छोरीहरूका टाउकोमा घावै-घाउ पार्नुहुनेछ, र परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई मुडुलो पार्नुहुनेछ ।

The Lord will send disease on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will let their secret parts be seen.

18 त्यो दिन परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूका सुन्दर पाउजुहरू, शिरबन्दीहरू, चन्द्रहारहरू,

In that day the Lord will take away the glory of their foot-rings, and their sun-jewels, and their moon-ornaments,

19 कुण्डलहरू, बालाहरू, झुम्‍काहरू,

The ear-rings, and the chains, and the delicate clothing,

20 शिर ढाक्‍नेहरू, कल्लीहरू, पटुकाहरू, अत्तरदानीहरू, जन्तरहरू,

The head-bands, and the arm-chains, and the worked bands, and the perfume-boxes, and the jewels with secret powers,

21 औंठीहरू, नत्थहरू,

The rings, and the nose-jewels,

22 चाडका वस्‍त्रहरू, पछ्‍यौराहरू, घुम्‍टोहरू, हाते-ब्‍यागहरू,

The feast-day dresses, and the robes, and the wide skirts, and the handbags,

23 हाते-ऐनाहरू, मसिनो मलमल, शिरफुलहरू र मजेत्रोहरू हटाउनुहुनेछ ।

The looking-glasses, and the fair linen, and the high head-dresses, 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 in the place of sweet spices will be an evil smell, and for a fair band a thick cord; for a well-dressed head there will be the cutting-off of the hair, and for a beautiful robe there will be the clothing of sorrow; the mark of the prisoner in place of the ornaments of the free.

25 तेरा मानिसहरू तरवारले मारिनेछन् र तेरा बलिया मानिसहरू युद्धमा ढल्नेछन् ।

Your men will be put to the sword, and your men of war will come to destruction in the fight.

26 यरूशलेमका ढोकाहरूले विलाप र विलौना गर्नेछन् । अनि त्यो एक्लो हुनेछ र भूइँमा बस्‍नेछ ।

And in the public places of her towns will be sorrow and weeping; and she will be seated on the earth, waste and uncovered.
