यशैया 31
1 सहायताको निम्ति मिश्रदेशमा जाने, घोडाहरूमा भर पर्ने र रथहरूमा (किनकि ती धेरै छन्) र घोडचढीहरूमा (किनकि ती असंख्य छ्न्) भरोसा गर्नेहरूलाई धिक्कार! तर तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका परमपवित्रको वास्ता गर्दैनन्, न तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको खोजी नै गर्छन् ।
Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help and lean on horses, and trust in chariots (for they are many) and in horsemen (for they are countless). But they are not concerned about the Holy One of Israel, nor do they seek Yahweh!
2 तापनि उहाँ बुद्धिमान् हुनुहुन्छ, उहाँले विपत्ति ल्याउनुहुनेछ र आफ्नो वचनबाट उहाँ पछि हट्नुहुनेछैन । उहाँ दुष्ट घराना र पाप गर्न सहायता गर्नेहरूका विरुद्धमा उठ्नुहुनेछ ।
Yet he is wise, and he will bring disaster and will not retract his words. He will arise against the evil house and against the helpers of those who commit sin.
3 मिश्रदेश मानिस हो र परमेश्वर होइन, तिनीहरूका घोडाहरू शरीर हुन् आत्मा होइनन् । जब परमप्रभुले आफ्नो हात पसार्नुहुन्छ, सहायता गर्नेले ठेस खानेछ र सहायता पाउनेचाहिं ढल्नेछ । दुवै एकसाथ नाश हुनेछन् ।
Egypt is a man and not God, their horses flesh and not spirit. When Yahweh reaches out with his hand, both the one who helps will stumble, and the one who is helped will fall; both will perish together.
4 परमप्रभुले मलाई यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “गोठालाहरूका समूह आफ्नो विरुद्धमा आउँदा पनि जसरी सिंह अर्थात् जवान सिंह आफ्नो शिकारमाथि गर्जेर झम्टन्छ तर तिनीहरूका सोर सुनेर डराउँदैन, न तिनीहरूका सोर सुनेर भाग्छ, त्यसरी नै सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु सियोन पर्वतमा अर्थात् त्यो पहाडमा लडाइँ गर्न ओर्लनुहुनेछ ।
This is what Yahweh says to me, “As a lion, even a young lion, growls over its torn prey, when a group of shepherds is called out against it, but it does not tremble at their voices, nor creep away from their sound; thus Yahweh of hosts will descend to fight on Mount Zion, on that hill.
5 गुँडको रक्षा गर्ने चराले झैं परमप्रभुले यरूशलेमको रक्षा गर्नुहुनेछ । उहाँ यसबाट भएर जानुहुँदा यसको सुरक्षा गर्नुहुनेछ र छुटकारा दिनुहुनेछ र यसको संरक्षण गर्नुहुनेछ ।
Like birds in flight, so Yahweh of hosts will protect Jerusalem; he will protect and rescue as he passes over it and preserves it.
6 ए इस्राएलका मानिस हो, तिमीहरू जसबाट तर्किएका थियौ, उहाँतिर नै फर्क ।
Return to him from whom you have deeply turned away, people of Israel.
7 किनकि त्यो दिनमा तिमीहरूका आफ्नै हातले पापपुर्ण किसिमले बनाएका चाँदीका मूर्तीहरू र सुनका मूर्तीहरूबाट प्रत्येक व्यक्ति मुक्त हुनेछ ।
For in that day each one will get rid of his idols of silver and his idols of gold that your own hands have sinfully made.
8 अश्शूर तरवारले ढल्नेछ । मानिसले नचालाएको तरवारद्वारा त्यो नाश हुनेछ । त्यो तरवारबाट भाग्नेछ र त्यसका जवान मानिसहरूलाई सित्तैंका काम गर्न लगाइनेछ ।
Assyria will fall by the sword; a sword not wielded by man will consume him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will be forced to do hard labor.
9 त्रासको कारणले तिनीहरूले सबै दृढता गुमाउनेछन् र परमप्रभुको युद्धको झन्डा देखेर त्यसका शासकहरू डराउनेछन्— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो— जसको आगो सियोनमा छ र जसको मकल यरूशलेममा छ ।”
They will lose all confidence because of terror, and his princes will be afraid at the sight of Yahweh's battle flag— this is Yahweh's declaration—whose fire is in Zion and whose firepot is in Jerusalem.”
