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 ।
Terrible things will happen to you [people of Assyria]! You have destroyed [others], [but] you have not been destroyed [yet]. You have betrayed/deceived [others], [but] you have not been betrayed/deceived [yet]. When you stop destroying [others], others will destroy you. When you stop betraying/deceiving others, [others] betray you.
2 हे परमप्रभु, हामीप्रति अनुग्रही हुनुहोस् । हामी तपाईंको आशा गर्छौं । हरेक बिहान हाम्रो बहुली हुनुहोस्, कष्‍टको समयमा हाम्रो उद्धार हुनुहोस् ।
Yahweh, be kind to us, because we have patiently waited for you [to help us]. Enable us to be strong every day, and rescue us when we have troubles.
3 ठुलो आवाजमा मानिसहरू भाग्‍छन् । तपाईं उठ्नुहुँदा जातिहरू तितरबितर हुन्‍छन् ।
Our enemies run away when they hear your voice. When you stand up and show that you are powerful [IDM], the people of all nations flee.
4 तपाईंको लूट सलहरूले जस्तै बटुलिन्‍छ । सलहहरू उफ्रेझैं मानिसहरू उफ्रन्छन् ।
[And after our enemies have been defeated], we, your people, will take away all our enemies’ possessions like [SIM] caterpillars and locusts strip off all the leaves of plants.
5 परमप्रभु उच्‍च पारिनुभएको छ । उच्‍च स्थानमा उहाँ विराजमान हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले सियोनलाई न्याय र धार्मिकता भर्नुहुनेछ ।
Yahweh is greater than anyone else, and he lives in heaven, and he will rule justly and righteously in Jerusalem.
6 तिमीहरूका समयमा उहाँ स्थिरता, उद्धार, बुद्धि र ज्ञानको प्रचुरता हुनुहुनेछ । परमप्रभुको भय नै त्‍यसको भण्डार हो ।
[When that happens], he will enable you to live securely/safely; he will fully protect your possessions, he will enable you to be wise and to know [all that you need to know]; and revering Yahweh will be [like] [MET] a valuable treasure for you.
7 हेर, तिनीहरूका दूतहरू सडकहरूमा कराउँछन् । शान्तिको आशा गर्ने कुटनितिज्ञहरू धुरुधुरु रुन्छन् ।
[But now], look, our brave men are crying out in the streets; our ambassadors [have gone to other countries to make peace treaties], [but they will] cry bitterly [because they will not succeed].
8 मुल बाटोहरू उजाड पारिएका छन् । त्यहाँ कुनै यात्रीहरू छैनन् । करारहरू तोडिएका छन्, गवाहीहरूको अवहेलना भएको छ र मानव जातिलाई आदर गरिंदैन ।
No one travels on our roads [DOU]. [The leaders of Assyria] have broken/disregarded their peace treaty [with us]; they despise the people who made those treaties, and they do not respect anyone.
9 देशले विलाप गर्छ र ओइलाउँछ । लेबनान लज्‍जित हुन्छ र ओइलाउँछ । शारोन मरुभूमिको मैदानजस्तै हो । बाशान र कार्मेलले आफ्‍ना पातहरू हल्‍लाउँछन् ।
The land [of Judah] is dry and barren. The [cedar trees in] Lebanon are drying up and decaying. The Sharon [Plain along the coast] is now a desert. There are no more leaves on the trees in the Bashan and Carmel [areas].
10 परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “अब म उठ्नेछु, अब म उच्‍च पारिनेछु; म अब उचालिनेछु ।
Yahweh says, “Now I will begin to show that I am very powerful [DOU].
11 तिमीहरूले भुस गर्भधारण गर्‍यौ र तिमीहरूले परालका ठुटाहरू जन्मायौ । तिमीहरूका सास तिमीहरूलाई भष्‍म पार्ने आगो हो ।
You [people of Assyria] make plans that are [as useless as] [MET] chaff and straw. Your breath will become a fire that will burn you up.
12 काँढाका झाडीहरू काटेर जलाएझैं मानिसहरूलाई चूनझैं जलाइनेछ ।
[Your] people will be burned until only ashes remain [MET] like [SIM] thornbushes are cut down and burned up in a fire.
13 तिमीहरू टाढा हुनेहरू, मैले के गरेको छु सो सुन । अनि तिमीहरू नजिक हुनेहरू, मेरो शक्तिलाई स्वीकार गर ।
You people who live far away and you people who live nearby, pay attention to what I have done and realize that I am [very] powerful.”
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 Jerusalem will tremble because of being very afraid; godless people will be terrified. [They say], “None of us can [RHQ] remain alive because this fire is burning everything; it is like the fire on Yahweh’s altar that will burn forever!”
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—
Those who act honestly and say what is right, those who do not try to become rich by (extortion/forcing people to give them money), those who do not try to get bribes, those who refuse to listen to people who are planning to murder someone, those who do not join others who urge them to do what is wrong,
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 ।
they are the people who will live safely [MTY]; they will find places to be safe in the caves in the mountains. They will have plenty of food and water.
17 तेरा आँखाहरूले राजालाई उहाँको सुन्दरतामा देख्‍नेछ । तिनीहरू देशलाई टाढाको दुरीमा देख्‍नेछन् ।
You [SYN] [people of Judah] will see the king wearing all his beautiful [robes], and you will see that he rules a land that extends far away.
18 तिमीहरूका मनले त्रासलाई याद गर्नेछ । शास्‍त्री कहाँ छ, पैसा तौलने कहाँ छ? धरहराहरूको गन्ती गर्ने कहाँ छ?
When you see that, you will think about when you were previously terrified, [and you will say], “[The officers of Assyria] who counted the tax money that we were forced to pay to them [have disappeared] [RHQ]! Those men who counted our towers [are gone] [RHQ]!
19 तिमीहरूले फेरि हठी मानिसहरू, तिमीहरूले नबुझ्‍ने भाषा बोल्‍ने अनौठो मानिसहरूलाई कदापि देख्‍नेछैनौ ।
Those arrogant people who spoke a language that we could not understand are no longer here!”
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 ।
[At that time], you will see Zion Hill, the place where we celebrate our festivals; you will see that Jerusalem has become a place that is calm and safe. It will be [secure], [like] [SIM] a tent [that cannot be moved because] its ropes are tight and its stakes are firmly in the ground.
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 ।
Yahweh will be our mighty God; he will be [like] [SIM] a mighty river that will protect us because [our enemies] will not be able to cross it; no one will be able to row across it and no ships will be able to sail across it.
22 किनकि परमप्रभु हाम्रो न्यायकर्ता हुनुहुन्छ, परमप्रभु हाम्रो व्यवस्था दिने हुनुहुन्छ, परमप्रभु हाम्रा राजा हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले हामीलाई बचाउनुहुने छ ।
Yahweh is our judge; he is the one who gives us laws, and he is our king. He will rescue 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 ।
The ropes on our enemies’ boats will hang loose, their masts will not be fastened firmly, and their sails will not be spread out. The treasures that they have seized will be divided [among us, God’s people], and even lame [people among us] will get some.
24 बासिन्दाहरूले “म बरामी छु” भन्‍ने छैनन् । त्यहाँ बस्‍ने मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूको पाप क्षमा गरिनेछ ।
And the people in Jerusalem will no [longer] say, “We are sick,” [because Yahweh] will forgive the sins that have been committed by the people who live there.
