< 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 you who destroy, but you weren’t destroyed, and who betray, but nobody betrayed you! When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed; and when you have finished betrayal, you will be betrayed.
2 हे परमप्रभु, हामीप्रति अनुग्रही हुनुहोस् । हामी तपाईंको आशा गर्छौं । हरेक बिहान हाम्रो बहुली हुनुहोस्, कष्टको समयमा हाम्रो उद्धार हुनुहोस् ।
LORD, be gracious to us. We have waited for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
3 ठुलो आवाजमा मानिसहरू भाग्छन् । तपाईं उठ्नुहुँदा जातिहरू तितरबितर हुन्छन् ।
At the noise of the thunder, the peoples have fled. When you lift yourself up, the nations are scattered.
4 तपाईंको लूट सलहरूले जस्तै बटुलिन्छ । सलहहरू उफ्रेझैं मानिसहरू उफ्रन्छन् ।
Your plunder will be gathered as the caterpillar gathers. Men will leap on it as locusts leap.
5 परमप्रभु उच्च पारिनुभएको छ । उच्च स्थानमा उहाँ विराजमान हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले सियोनलाई न्याय र धार्मिकता भर्नुहुनेछ ।
The LORD 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 ।
There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the LORD is your 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 are desolate. The traveling man ceases. The covenant is broken. He has despised the cities. He doesn’t respect 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 are stripped bare.
10 परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, “अब म उठ्नेछु, अब म उच्च पारिनेछु; म अब उचालिनेछु ।
“Now I will arise,” says the LORD. “Now I will lift myself up. Now I will be exalted.
11 तिमीहरूले भुस गर्भधारण गर्यौ र तिमीहरूले परालका ठुटाहरू जन्मायौ । तिमीहरूका सास तिमीहरूलाई भष्म पार्ने आगो हो ।
You will conceive chaff. You will give birth to stubble. Your breath is a fire that will devour you.
12 काँढाका झाडीहरू काटेर जलाएझैं मानिसहरूलाई चूनझैं जलाइनेछ ।
The peoples will be like the burning of lime, like thorns that are cut down and burned in the fire.
13 तिमीहरू टाढा हुनेहरू, मैले के गरेको छु सो सुन । अनि तिमीहरू नजिक हुनेहरू, मेरो शक्तिलाई स्वीकार गर ।
Hear, you who are far off, what I have done; and, you 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 godless ones. Who among us can live with the devouring fire? Who among us can live with everlasting burning?
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 blamelessly, he who despises the gain of oppressions, who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed, and shuts his eyes from looking at 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 will dwell on high. His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks. His bread will be supplied. His waters will be sure.
17 तेरा आँखाहरूले राजालाई उहाँको सुन्दरतामा देख्नेछ । तिनीहरू देशलाई टाढाको दुरीमा देख्नेछन् ।
Your eyes will see the king in his beauty. They will see a distant land.
18 तिमीहरूका मनले त्रासलाई याद गर्नेछ । शास्त्री कहाँ छ, पैसा तौलने कहाँ छ? धरहराहरूको गन्ती गर्ने कहाँ छ?
Your heart will meditate on the terror. Where is he who counted? Where is he who weighed? Where is he who counted the towers?
19 तिमीहरूले फेरि हठी मानिसहरू, तिमीहरूले नबुझ्ने भाषा बोल्ने अनौठो मानिसहरूलाई कदापि देख्नेछैनौ ।
You will no longer see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that you can’t comprehend, with a strange language that you can’t 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 at Zion, the city of our appointed festivals. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, a tent that won’t be removed. Its stakes will never be plucked up, nor will any of its cords 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 there the LORD will be with us in majesty, a place of wide rivers and streams, in which no galley with oars will go, neither will any gallant ship pass by there.
22 किनकि परमप्रभु हाम्रो न्यायकर्ता हुनुहुन्छ, परमप्रभु हाम्रो व्यवस्था दिने हुनुहुन्छ, परमप्रभु हाम्रा राजा हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले हामीलाई बचाउनुहुने छ ।
For the LORD is our judge. The LORD is our lawgiver. The LORD 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 ।
Your rigging is untied. They couldn’t strengthen the foot of their mast. They couldn’t spread the sail. Then the prey of a great plunder was divided. The lame took the prey.
24 बासिन्दाहरूले “म बरामी छु” भन्ने छैनन् । त्यहाँ बस्ने मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूको पाप क्षमा गरिनेछ ।
The inhabitant won’t say, “I am sick.” The people who dwell therein will be forgiven their iniquity.
