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 rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they don’t look to the Holy One of Israel, and they don’t 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 also is wise, and will bring disaster, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of those who work iniquity.
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 ।
Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When Yahweh stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed 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 ।
For Yahweh says to me, “As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for their noise, so Yahweh of Armies will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.
5 गुँडको रक्षा गर्ने चराले झैं परमप्रभुले यरूशलेमको रक्षा गर्नुहुनेछ । उहाँ यसबाट भएर जानुहुँदा यसको सुरक्षा गर्नुहुनेछ र छुटकारा दिनुहुनेछ र यसको संरक्षण गर्नुहुनेछ ।
As birds hovering, so Yahweh of Armies will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it.”
6 ए इस्राएलका मानिस हो, तिमीहरू जसबाट तर्किएका थियौ, उहाँतिर नै फर्क ।
Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children 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 everyone shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold—sin which your own hands have made for you.
8 अश्शूर तरवारले ढल्नेछ । मानिसले नचालाएको तरवारद्वारा त्यो नाश हुनेछ । त्यो तरवारबाट भाग्नेछ र त्यसका जवान मानिसहरूलाई सित्तैंका काम गर्न लगाइनेछ ।
“The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will become subject to forced 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 ।”
His rock will pass away by reason of terror, and his princes will be afraid of the banner,” says Yahweh, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
