< 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, Taketh away from Jerusalem and from Judah every stay and support; The whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water;
2 वीर मानिसहरू र योद्धाहरू, न्यायकर्ता र अगमवक्ता, जोखना हेर्नेहरू र धर्मगुरुहरू,
The mighty man, and the warrior, The judge, the prophet, the diviner, and the sage,
3 पचास जनाका कप्‍तानहरू र आदरणिय नागरिक, सल्‍लाहकारहरू, सिपालु कारीगरहरू र निपुण जादूगरहरू हटाउन लाग्‍नुभएको छ ।
The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, The counsellor, the expert in arts, and the skilful in charms.
4 “युवाहरूलाई मात्र म तिनीहरूका अगुवाहरूको बनाउनेछु र जवानहरूले तिनीहरूमाथि शासन गर्नेछन् ।
And I will make boys their princes, And children 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 oppress one another, Man striving against man, and neighbor against neighbor; The boy shall behave himself insolently toward the aged, And the base toward 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 ।'
Then shall a man take hold of his brother in his father's house, [[and say, ]] Thou hast yet clothing, Be thou our ruler, And take this ruin into thy hands!
7 त्यो दिनमा ऊ चिच्याउनेछ र भन्‍नेछ, 'म निको पार्ने हुनेछैन । मसँग रोटी वा लुगा छैन । तिमीहरूले मलाई मानिसहरूका शासक बनाउनेछैनौ' ।”
But in that day shall he lift up his hand, and say: I am no healer; In my house is neither bread nor raiment; Make not 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 tottereth, and Judah falleth, Because their tongues and their deeds are against Jehovah, To provoke his holy eyes.
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 very countenance witnesseth against them; They publish their sin like Sodom; they hide it not; Woe to them, for they bring evil upon themselves!
10 धर्मी मानिसलाई राम्रो हुनेछ भन, किनकि तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना कामहरूका फल खानेछन् ।
Say ye of the righteous that it shall be well with him, For he shall eat the fruit of his doings.
11 दुष्‍टलाई धिक्‍कार! उसलाई खराब हुनेछ, किनकि उहाँको हातको बदला उसैमाथि पर्नेछ ।
Woe to the wicked, it shall be ill with him, For the work of his hands shall be repaid 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, thy leaders cause thee to err, And destroy the way in which thou walkest!
13 दोष लगाउनलाई परमप्रभु खडा हुनुहुन्छ । मानिसहरूलाई दोष लगाउन उहाँ खडा हुनुहुन्छ ।
Jehovah standeth up to maintain his cause; He standeth up to judge his people.
14 आफ्‍ना मानिसहरूका धर्मगुरुहरू र तिनीहरूका अगुवाहरू विरुद्ध परमप्रभु न्‍याय लिएर आउनुहुनेछः “तिमीहरूले दाखबारी विनाश पारेका छौ । गरीबलाई लुटेको माल तिमीहरूका घरहरूमा छन् ।
Jehovah entereth into judgment with the elders of his people, and their princes: “So then ye have consumed the vineyard; The plunder of the poor is in your houses!
15 तिमीहरूले मेरा मानिसहरूलाई किन कुल्चन्छौ र गरिबहरूको अनुहारहरू किन पिस्‍छौ?” यो सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
What mean ye, that ye crush my people, And grind the faces of the poor?” Saith Jehovah, the Lord 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 ।
Thus, also, saith Jehovah: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, And walk with outstretched necks, And glance their eyes wantonly, Mincing their steps as they go, And tinkling with their foot-clasps,
17 यसकारण परमप्रभुले सियोनकी छोरीहरूका टाउकोमा घावै-घाउ पार्नुहुनेछ, र परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई मुडुलो पार्नुहुनेछ ।
Therefore will the Lord make their heads bald, And Jehovah will expose their nakedness.
18 त्यो दिन परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूका सुन्दर पाउजुहरू, शिरबन्दीहरू, चन्द्रहारहरू,
In that day shall the Lord take from them The ornaments of the foot-clasps, and the net-works, and the crescents;
19 कुण्डलहरू, बालाहरू, झुम्‍काहरू,
The ear-rings, and the bracelets, and the veils;
20 शिर ढाक्‍नेहरू, कल्लीहरू, पटुकाहरू, अत्तरदानीहरू, जन्तरहरू,
The turbans, and the ankle-chains, and the belts; The perfume-boxes, and the amulets;
21 औंठीहरू, नत्थहरू,
The finger-rings, and the nose-jewels;
22 चाडका वस्‍त्रहरू, पछ्‍यौराहरू, घुम्‍टोहरू, हाते-ब्‍यागहरू,
The embroidered robes, and the tunics, and the cloaks, and the purses;
23 हाते-ऐनाहरू, मसिनो मलमल, शिरफुलहरू र मजेत्रोहरू हटाउनुहुनेछ ।
The mirrors, and the linen shifts, and the head-bands, and the large 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 instead of perfume there shall be corruption; Instead of a belt, a rope; Instead of curled locks, baldness; Instead of a wide mantle, a covering of sackcloth; Fire-scars instead of beauty.
25 तेरा मानिसहरू तरवारले मारिनेछन् र तेरा बलिया मानिसहरू युद्धमा ढल्नेछन् ।
Thy men shall fall by the sword, Yea, thy mighty men in battle;
26 यरूशलेमका ढोकाहरूले विलाप र विलौना गर्नेछन् । अनि त्यो एक्लो हुनेछ र भूइँमा बस्‍नेछ ।
Her gates shall lament and mourn, And she, being desolate, shall sit upon the ground.
