< यशैया 32 >

1 हेर, एक जना राजाले धर्मिकतामा राज्‍य गर्नेछन् र शासकहरूले न्यायमा राज्‍य गर्नेछन् ।
Behold, a king reigns for righteousness, As for princes, they rule for judgment.
2 प्रत्‍येक व्‍यक्‍ति हावाबाट बच्‍ने ठाउँजस्तै, र आँधीबाट शरण लिने ठाउँजस्तै, सुख्‍खा ठाउँको पानीको धारहरूजस्तै, थकानको देशमा भएको ठुलो चट्टानको छायाजस्तै हुनेछ ।
And each has been as a hiding place [from] wind, And as a secret hiding place [from] inundation, As streams of waters in a dry place, As a shadow of a heavy rock in a weary land.
3 तब हेर्नेहरूका आँखा धमिलो हुनेछैनन् र सुन्‍नेहरूका कानले ध्यानपुर्वक सुन्‍नेछन् ।
And the eyes of beholders are not dazzled, And the ears of hearers attend.
4 हडबडेले समझदार भएर होसियारसाथ विचार गर्नेछ, अनि भकभकेले प्रष्‍टसँग र सजिलोसँग बोल्‍नेछ ।
And the heart of those hurried understands to know, And the tongue of stammerers hurries to speak clearly.
5 मूर्खलाई कदापि आदरणीय भनिनेछैन न छलीलाई चरित्रवान भनिनेछ ।
A fool is no more called “noble,” And to a miser it is not said, “rich”;
6 किनकि मूर्खले मूर्खताको कुरा गर्छ, उसको मनले दुष्‍ट र अधर्मी कामहरूका योजना बनाउछ र उसले परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा गलत किसिमले बोल्छ । उसले भोकाएकोलाई रित्तो बनाउँछ र तिर्खाएकोलाई पानीको कमी तुल्याउँछ ।
For a fool speaks folly, And his heart does iniquity, to do profanity, And to speak error concerning YHWH, To empty the soul of the hungry, Indeed, he causes the thirsty to lack [their] drink.
7 छलीका विधिहरू खराब हुन्‍छन् । गरीबले ठिक कुरा भने पनि उसले गरीबलाई विनाश पार्ने दुष्‍ट योजनाहरू बनाउँछ ।
And the miser—his instruments [are] evil, He has counseled wicked schemes, To corrupt the poor with lying sayings, Even when the needy speaks justly.
8 तर आदरणीय मानिसले आदरणीय योजना बनाउँछ । अनि उसको आदरणीय कामहरूको कारणले नै ऊ खडा रहन्‍छ ।
And the noble counseled noble things, And he rises up for noble things.
9 ए चैनमा बसेका स्‍त्रीहरू, खडा होओ र मेरो सोरलाई सुन । ए चिन्‍ता नभएका छोरीहरू, मेरो कुरा सुन ।
Women, easy ones, rise, hear my voice, Daughters, confident ones, give ear [to] my saying,
10 किनकि ए चिन्‍ता नभएका स्‍त्रीहरू, एक वर्षभन्दा केही बढी समयमा तिमीहरूको दृढतालाई तोडिनेछ, किनकि दाखको कटनी बितेर जानेछ, फसल जम्‍मा गर्ने समय आउनेछैन ।
In days and a year You are troubled, O confident ones, For harvest has been consumed, The gathering does not come.
11 ए चैनमा बस्‍ने स्‍त्रीहरू, थरथर होओ । ए निर्धक्‍क हुनेहरू, घबराओ । आफ्ना राम्रा पोशाकहरू फुकाल र आफैलाई नाङ्गो पार । आफ्‍ना कम्मरको वरिपरि भाङ्ग्रा लगाओ ।
Tremble, you women, you easy ones, Be troubled, you confident ones, Strip and make bare, with a girdle on the loins,
12 राम्रा खेतहरूका निम्ति र फलदायी दाखहरूका निम्ति तिमीहरूले विलाप गर्नेछौ ।
They are lamenting for breasts, For fields of desire, for the fruitful vine.
13 मेरा मानिसहरूका जमिनमा, कुनै बेलाका आनन्‍द गर्ने सहरका घरहरूमा समेत काँढाहरू र सिउँडीहरू उम्रिनेछन् ।
Over the ground of my people thorn [and] brier go up, Surely over all houses of joy of the exulting city,
14 किनकि दरबारहरू त्यागिनेछन्, भीडको सहरलाई उजाड बनाइनेछ । पहाड र धरहरा सदाको निम्ति गुफाहरू, वन-गधाहरूका खुसी, गाइवस्तुका चरन हुनेछ ।
The palace has been left, The multitude of the city forsaken, Fort and watchtower have been for dens for all time, A joy of wild donkeys—a pasture of herds;
15 माथिबाट हामीमा आत्मा नखन्यासम्म र उजाड-स्‍थान एउटा फलदायी खेत नभएसम्म र फलदायी खेतलाई एउटा जङ्गझैं नसोचेसम्‍म ।
Until the Spirit is emptied out on us from on high, And a wilderness has become a fruitful field, And the fruitful field is reckoned for a forest.
16 तब न्यान उजाड-स्‍थान बास गर्नेछ । अनि धार्मिकताचाहिं फलदायी खेतमा बास गर्नेछ ।
And judgment has dwelt in the wilderness, And righteousness remains in the fruitful field.
17 धार्मिकताको कामचाहिं शान्ति हुनेछ । अनि धार्मिकताको परिणामचाहिं सदासर्वदा शान्ति र दृढता हुनेछ ।
And a work of the righteousness has been peace, And a service of the righteousness—Keeping quiet and confidence for all time.
18 मेरा मानिसहरू शान्तिपुर्ण बासस्थानमा, सुरक्षित घरहरूमा र शान्तसित विश्राम गर्ने ठाउँहरूमा बास गर्नेछन् ।
And My people have dwelt in a peaceful habitation, And in steadfast dwelling places, And in quiet resting places.
19 तर असिना परे पनि र जङ्गल नाश भए पनि र सहरलाई पुर्ण रूपमा निर्मूल पारिए पनि,
And it has hailed in the going down of the forest, And the city is low in the valley.
20 तिमीहरू जसले नदीहरूका किनारहरूमा बीउ छरेका छौ, तिमीहरूका जसले आफ्‍ना गोरु र गधालाई चर्न पठाएका छौ, आशिषित्‌ हुनेछौ ।
Blessed [are] you sowing by all waters, Sending forth the foot of the ox and the donkey!
