< यशैया 33 >

1 विनाश नभएको विनाश पार्ने तँलाई धिक्‍कार! तिनीहरूले धोका नदिएको धोकेबाजलाई धिक्‍कार! जब तैंले विनाश गर्न छोड्छस् तब तेरो विनाश हुनेछ । जब तैले धोका दिन छोड्छस् तब तिनीहरूले तँलाई धोका दिनेछन् ।
Woe to thee who destroys, and thou were not destroyed, and deal treacherously, and they did not deal treacherously with thee! When thou have ceased to destroy, thou shall be destroyed, and when thou have made an end of dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
2 हे परमप्रभु, हामीप्रति अनुग्रही हुनुहोस् । हामी तपाईंको आशा गर्छौं । हरेक बिहान हाम्रो बहुली हुनुहोस्, कष्‍टको समयमा हाम्रो उद्धार हुनुहोस् ।
O Jehovah, be gracious to us, we have waited for thee. Be thou our arm every morning, also our salvation in the time of trouble.
3 ठुलो आवाजमा मानिसहरू भाग्‍छन् । तपाईं उठ्नुहुँदा जातिहरू तितरबितर हुन्‍छन् ।
At the noise of the tumult the peoples have fled. At the lifting up of thyself the nations are scattered.
4 तपाईंको लूट सलहरूले जस्तै बटुलिन्‍छ । सलहहरू उफ्रेझैं मानिसहरू उफ्रन्छन् ।
And your spoil shall be gathered as the caterpillar gathers. As locusts leap, men shall leap upon it.
5 परमप्रभु उच्‍च पारिनुभएको छ । उच्‍च स्थानमा उहाँ विराजमान हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले सियोनलाई न्याय र धार्मिकता भर्नुहुनेछ ।
Jehovah is exalted, for he dwells on high. He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 तिमीहरूका समयमा उहाँ स्थिरता, उद्धार, बुद्धि र ज्ञानको प्रचुरता हुनुहुनेछ । परमप्रभुको भय नै त्‍यसको भण्डार हो ।
And there shall be stability in thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of Jehovah is thy treasure.
7 हेर, तिनीहरूका दूतहरू सडकहरूमा कराउँछन् । शान्तिको आशा गर्ने कुटनितिज्ञहरू धुरुधुरु रुन्छन् ।
Behold, their valiant ones cry outside. The ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
8 मुल बाटोहरू उजाड पारिएका छन् । त्यहाँ कुनै यात्रीहरू छैनन् । करारहरू तोडिएका छन्, गवाहीहरूको अवहेलना भएको छ र मानव जातिलाई आदर गरिंदैन ।
The highways lie waste. The wayfaring man ceases. The enemy has broken the covenant. He has despised the cities. He does not regard man.
9 देशले विलाप गर्छ र ओइलाउँछ । लेबनान लज्‍जित हुन्छ र ओइलाउँछ । शारोन मरुभूमिको मैदानजस्तै हो । बाशान र कार्मेलले आफ्‍ना पातहरू हल्‍लाउँछन् ।
The land mourns and languishes. Lebanon is confounded and withers away. Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
10 परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “अब म उठ्नेछु, अब म उच्‍च पारिनेछु; म अब उचालिनेछु ।
Now I will arise, says Jehovah. Now I will lift up myself. Now I will be exalted.
11 तिमीहरूले भुस गर्भधारण गर्‍यौ र तिमीहरूले परालका ठुटाहरू जन्मायौ । तिमीहरूका सास तिमीहरूलाई भष्‍म पार्ने आगो हो ।
Ye shall conceive chaff. Ye shall bring forth stubble. Your breath is a fire that shall devour you.
12 काँढाका झाडीहरू काटेर जलाएझैं मानिसहरूलाई चूनझैं जलाइनेछ ।
And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime, as thorns cut down that are burned in the fire.
13 तिमीहरू टाढा हुनेहरू, मैले के गरेको छु सो सुन । अनि तिमीहरू नजिक हुनेहरू, मेरो शक्तिलाई स्वीकार गर ।
Hear, ye who are far off, what I have done, and ye who are near, acknowledge my might.
14 सियोनका पापीहरू भयभित भएका छन् । ईश्‍वरहीनहरू थरथराउने डरले समातेको छ । हामीमध्ये कोचाहिं बलिरहेको आगोसँग खेल्‍न सक्छ र? हामीमध्ये कोचाहिं अनन्त जलिरहने आगोसँग खेल्‍न सक्छ र?
The sinners in Zion are afraid. Trembling has seized the profane. Who among us can dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?
15 त्यही नै जो धार्मिकतासाथ हिंड्छ र इमानदारसाथ बोल्छ । जसले अत्यचारको लाभलाई घृणा गर्छ, जसले घूस स्वीकार नगर्न आफ्नो हात टकटकाउँछ, रक्‍तपातको बारे सुन्‍नदेखि आफ्ना कानहरू बन्द गर्छ र जसले दुष्‍टता हेर्नदेखि आफ्ना आँखाहरू बन्‍द गर्छ—
He who walks righteously, and speaks uprightly. He who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes away his hands from taking a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from looking upon evil.
16 यो त्‍यो मानिस हो जो उच्‍च स्थानहरूमा वास गर्नेछ, त्यसको सुरक्षाको स्थान भिरहरू माझको किल्लाहरूमा हुनेछ, त्यसको खाना दिइनेछ र त्यसको पानीको आपुर्ती निरन्‍तर हुनेछ ।
He shall dwell on high. His place of defense shall be the munitions of rocks. His bread shall be given. His waters shall be sure.
17 तेरा आँखाहरूले राजालाई उहाँको सुन्दरतामा देख्‍नेछ । तिनीहरू देशलाई टाढाको दुरीमा देख्‍नेछन् ।
Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty. They shall behold a land that reaches afar.
18 तिमीहरूका मनले त्रासलाई याद गर्नेछ । शास्‍त्री कहाँ छ, पैसा तौलने कहाँ छ? धरहराहरूको गन्ती गर्ने कहाँ छ?
Thy heart shall muse on the terror. Where is he who counted? Where is he who weighed the tribute? Where is he who counted the towers?
19 तिमीहरूले फेरि हठी मानिसहरू, तिमीहरूले नबुझ्‍ने भाषा बोल्‍ने अनौठो मानिसहरूलाई कदापि देख्‍नेछैनौ ।
Thou shall not see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that thou cannot comprehend, of a strange tongue that thou cannot understand.
20 सियोन, हाम्रो भोजको सहरलाई हेर । तिमीहरूका आँखाहरूले यरूशलेमलाई शान्त बासस्थानको रूपमा, नहटाइने पालको रूपमा देख्‍नेछौ, जसको किलाहरूलाई कदापि उखेलिनेछैन न यसको कुनै डोरीलाई चुडाइन्छ ।
Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities. Thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed. The stakes of which shall never be plucked up, nor shall any of the cords of it be broken.
21 बरु, परमप्रभु आफ्‍नो वैभवमा फराकिलो नदीहरू र खोलाहरूको ठाउँमा हामीसँग हुनुहुनेछ । पतवारले चलाइने कुनै पनि युद्धका पानी जहाजहरूले यात्रा गर्नेछैनन् र कुनै पनि ठुला पानी जहाजहरू जानेछैनन् ।
But Jehovah will be with us there in majesty. A place of broad rivers and streams, in which shall go no galley with oars, nor shall a gallant ship pass thereby.
22 किनकि परमप्रभु हाम्रो न्यायकर्ता हुनुहुन्छ, परमप्रभु हाम्रो व्यवस्था दिने हुनुहुन्छ, परमप्रभु हाम्रा राजा हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले हामीलाई बचाउनुहुने छ ।
For Jehovah is our judge. Jehovah is our lawgiver. Jehovah is our king, he will save us.
23 तिमीहरूका जहाजका डोरीहरू खुकुलो छन् । तिनीहरूले मस्तुललाई पक्रन सक्दैनन् । तिनीहरू पाल टाँग्‍न सक्दैनन् । जब ठुलो लूट बाँडिन्छ, लङ्गडोले पनि लूटको माल घिसारेर लानेछ ।
Thy tacklings are loosed. They could not strengthen the foot of their mast. They could not spread the sail. Then the prey of a great spoil was divided. The lame took the prey.
24 बासिन्दाहरूले “म बरामी छु” भन्‍ने छैनन् । त्यहाँ बस्‍ने मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूको पाप क्षमा गरिनेछ ।
And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick. The people who dwell in it shall be forgiven their iniquity.
