यशैया 3
1 हेर, सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले यरूशलेम र यहूदाबाट, टेवा र लट्टी: अर्थात् रोटीको सारा आफुर्ती र पानीको सारा आपुर्ती,
The Commander of the armies of angels is about to take away from Jerusalem and [other places in] Judea everything that you depend on— all your food and water.
2 वीर मानिसहरू र योद्धाहरू, न्यायकर्ता र अगमवक्ता, जोखना हेर्नेहरू र धर्मगुरुहरू,
He will take away your heroes and your [other] soldiers, your judges and your prophets, people who do rituals to find out what will happen in the future and the elders,
3 पचास जनाका कप्तानहरू र आदरणिय नागरिक, सल्लाहकारहरू, सिपालु कारीगरहरू र निपुण जादूगरहरू हटाउन लाग्नुभएको छ ।
army officers and [other] officials, advisors and skilled craftsmen and those who perform rituals to predict the future.
4 “युवाहरूलाई मात्र म तिनीहरूका अगुवाहरूको बनाउनेछु र जवानहरूले तिनीहरूमाथि शासन गर्नेछन् ।
He will appoint boys to be your leaders; your children will rule you.
5 हरेक मानिस एउटाले अर्कोलाई, हरेक आफ्नै छिमेकीद्वरा मानिसहरूले अत्याचार गर्नेछन् । बालकले वृद्धको अपमान गर्नेछ र तुच्छले आदरणियलाई चुनौति दिनेछ ।
People will treat each other cruelly: people will fight against their neighbors. Young people will insult older people, and vulgar/dishonorable people will sneer at people who should be honored.
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 ।'
At that time, someone will grab one of his brothers in his father’s house and say to him, “You have a coat, [which shows that you are respected]. [So] you be our leader! You rule this [city, which is now] a pile of ruins!”
7 त्यो दिनमा ऊ चिच्याउनेछ र भन्नेछ, 'म निको पार्ने हुनेछैन । मसँग रोटी वा लुगा छैन । तिमीहरूले मलाई मानिसहरूका शासक बनाउनेछैनौ' ।”
[But] his brother will reply, “[No], I cannot help you, [because] I do not have [any extra] food or clothes in this house. [So] do not appoint me to be your leader!”
8 किनकि यरूशलेमले ठेस खाएको छ र यहूदा ढलेको छ, किनभने तिनीहरूका बोलिवचन र कामहरू परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा छन्, उहाँको महिमाको दृष्टिको विरोध गर्छन् ।
Jerusalem and [the other towns in] Judah will be destroyed, because [everything] that the people do and say there opposes Yahweh, who is powerful and glorious, and they refuse to obey him. They rebel against him.
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 ।
They even show on their faces that [they oppose Yahweh]. They are proud of their sins, like [the people of] Sodom were [long ago]; they do not try to hide their sins. [Because of their sins], terrible things will happen to them, [but] they will bring those disasters on themselves.
10 धर्मी मानिसलाई राम्रो हुनेछ भन, किनकि तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कामहरूका फल खानेछन् ।
[Yahweh told me to] tell the righteous people that good things will happen to them; they will enjoy the blessings that they will receive for their good deeds.
11 दुष्टलाई धिक्कार! उसलाई खराब हुनेछ, किनकि उहाँको हातको बदला उसैमाथि पर्नेछ ।
[But] terrible things will happen to wicked people; they will be (paid back/punished) for [the evil things that] [MTY] they have done.
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 ।
[Now], youths [who have become leaders] treat my people cruelly, and women rule over my people. My people, your leaders are misleading you; they are causing you to go down the wrong road [MET].
13 दोष लगाउनलाई परमप्रभु खडा हुनुहुन्छ । मानिसहरूलाई दोष लगाउन उहाँ खडा हुनुहुन्छ ।
[It is as though] Yahweh has sat in his place in a courtroom and is ready 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 ।
He will stand up to declare why the elders and rulers of his people should be punished: [he says], “The people of Israel are [like] [MET] a vineyard that I planted, but you have ruined it! Your houses are full of things that you have stolen from poor people.
15 तिमीहरूले मेरा मानिसहरूलाई किन कुल्चन्छौ र गरिबहरूको अनुहारहरू किन पिस्छौ?” यो सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
You should stop [RHQ] crushing my people! [It is as though] you are pushing the faces of poor people into the dirt!” [That is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says.
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 ।
Yahweh says this: “The women of Jerusalem are haughty/proud; they walk around sticking their chins out, and flirting [with men] with their eyes. They walk with tiny steps with bracelets on their ankles that jingle.
17 यसकारण परमप्रभुले सियोनकी छोरीहरूका टाउकोमा घावै-घाउ पार्नुहुनेछ, र परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई मुडुलो पार्नुहुनेछ ।
So I, Yahweh, will cause sores to be on their heads, and I will cause those beautiful women in Jerusalem to become bald.”
18 त्यो दिन परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूका सुन्दर पाउजुहरू, शिरबन्दीहरू, चन्द्रहारहरू,
At the time [that Yahweh does that], he will strip away everything that the women of Jerusalem wear to make themselves beautiful—the ornaments on their ankles and their headbands, their crescent necklaces,
19 कुण्डलहरू, बालाहरू, झुम्काहरू,
their earrings and bracelets and veils,
20 शिर ढाक्नेहरू, कल्लीहरू, पटुकाहरू, अत्तरदानीहरू, जन्तरहरू,
their scarves and ankle bracelets and sashes, their perfumes and (charms/little things that they wear thinking that those things will protect them from evil),
21 औंठीहरू, नत्थहरू,
their signet rings and nose rings,
22 चाडका वस्त्रहरू, पछ्यौराहरू, घुम्टोहरू, हाते-ब्यागहरू,
their nice robes and capes and cloaks and purses,
23 हाते-ऐनाहरू, मसिनो मलमल, शिरफुलहरू र मजेत्रोहरू हटाउनुहुनेछ ।
their mirrors and nice linen clothes and shawls.
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 ।
Instead of their having a nice smell from perfume, they will stink; instead of nice sashes, they will have ropes [around their waists because they will be captives]. Instead of having fancy hairdos, they will be bald. Instead of fancy/beautiful robes, they will wear rough sackcloth, and instead of being beautiful, they will be branded.
25 तेरा मानिसहरू तरवारले मारिनेछन् र तेरा बलिया मानिसहरू युद्धमा ढल्नेछन् ।
Their husbands will be killed by [their enemies’] swords, and their soldiers [will also die] in battles.
26 यरूशलेमका ढोकाहरूले विलाप र विलौना गर्नेछन् । अनि त्यो एक्लो हुनेछ र भूइँमा बस्नेछ ।
People [PRS] will mourn and cry at the gates [of the city]. The city will [be like] [MET] a woman who sits on the ground because everything that she owned is gone.
