< यशैया 34 >
1 ए जातिहरू, नजिक आओ र सुन । ए मानिसहरू, ध्यान देओ । पृथ्वी र त्यसलाई भर्ने सबैले, संसार र त्यसबाट आएका सबै थोकले सुन्नुपर्छ ।
Draw near, O ye nations, and hear! Attend, O ye people! Let the earth hear, and all that is therein; The world, and all that springs from it!
2 किनकि परमप्रभु सबै जातिसँग सबै जातिहरूसँग रिसाउनुभएको छ र तिनीहरूका सबै फौज विरुद्ध क्रोधित हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई पुर्ण रूपमा विनाश पार्नुभएको छ, उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई संहारको निम्ति सम्पनुभएको छ ।
For the wrath of Jehovah is kindled against all the nations, And his fury against all their armies; He hath devoted them to destruction; He hath given them up to slaughter.
3 तिनीहरूका मृतकहरूका लाशहरू बाहिर फालिनेछन् । लाशहरूको दुर्गन्ध जताततै हुनेछ । अनि पर्वतहरूले तिनीहरूका रगत सोस्नेछ ।
Their slain shall be cast out; From their carcasses their stench shall ascend, And the mountains shall flow down with their blood.
4 आकाशका सबै ताराहरू विलीन हुनेछन् र आकाशचाहिं एउटा चर्मपत्रको मुट्ठाझैं बेह्रिनेछ । अनि दाखको पात झरेर ओइलाएझैं र अञ्जिरका गलेका अञ्जिर खसेझैं तिनीहरूका सबै ताराहरू विलीन हुनेछन् ।
And all the hosts of heaven shall melt away; And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll, And all their host shall fall down, As the withered leaf faileth from the vine, As the blighted fruit from the fig-tree.
5 किनकि जब मेरो तरवारले स्वर्गमा अघाउञ्जेल पिउनेछ । हेर, मैले विनाशको निम्ति अलग गरिरहेका मानिसहरू एदोममाथि त्यो आउनेछ ।
For my sword hath become drunk in heaven; Behold, upon Edom shall it descend, Upon the people under my curse, for vengeance.
6 परमप्रभुको तरवारबाट रगत चुहिरहेको छ र बोसोले ढाकेको छ, थुमाहरू र बोकाहरूका रगत चुहिरहेको छ, भेडाहरूका मृगौलाको बोसोले ढाकिएको छ । किनकि बोज्रामा परमप्रभुको बलिदान छ र एदोममा ठुलो संहार छ ।
The sword of Jehovah is full of blood; It is covered with fat, With the blood of lambs and goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams; For Jehovah holdeth a sacrifice in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 तिनीहरूसँगै जङ्गली साँढेहरू, अनि वृद्ध साँढेहरूसँगै जवानहरू ढल्नेछन् । तिनीहरूका देश रगतले मात्नेछ र तिनीहरूका माटो बोसोले मोटाउनेछ ।
The wild buffaloes shall fall down with them. And the bullocks with the bulls; The hind shall be drunk with blood, And the ground enriched with fat.
8 किनकि परमप्रभुको निम्ति यो बदलाको दिन हुनेछ र उहाँले सियोनको निम्ति तिनीहरूसँग साटो फेर्ने एउटा वर्ष हुनेछ ।
For Jehovah holdeth a day of vengeance, A year of recompense in the cause of Zion.
9 एदोमका नदीहरू अकत्रामा, त्यसको माटो गन्धकमा परिणत हुनेछ र त्यसको देश जलिरहने अलकत्रा हुनेछ ।
Her streams shall be turned into pitch, And her dust into brimstone, And her whole land shall become burning pitch.
10 त्यो रातदिन जल्नेछ । त्यसको धुवाँ सदासर्वदा माथि उठिरहनेछ । पुस्तादेखि पुस्तासम्म यो उजाड भूमी हुनेछ । सदासर्वदा यसबाट कोही पनि हिंड्नेछैन ।
Day and night it shall not be quenched; Its smoke shall ascend forever; From generation to generation it shall lie waste; None shall pass through it for ever and ever.
11 तर जङ्गली चराहरू र जनावरहरू त्यहाँ बस्नेछन् । लाटोकोसेरो र कागले त्यसमा आफ्ना गुँड बनाउनेछन् । उहाँलले त्यसमाथि नाशको नाप्ने डोरी र विनाशको सहुल लगाउनुहुनेछ ।
The pelican and the hedgehog shall possess it; The heron and the raven shall dwell in it; Over it will he draw the measuring-line of destruction. And the plummet of desolation.
12 राज्य भन्नलाई त्यसका भारदारसँग कुनै कुरा रहनछैन, र त्यसका सबै शासकहरू छन् भन्ने नै हुनेछन् ।
Her nobles — none are there, who may proclaim a kingdom, And all her princes have come to naught.
13 त्यसको दरबारमा काँढाहरू, अनि त्यसको किल्लाहरूमा सिस्नो र सिउँडीहरू उम्रिनेछन् । त्यो स्यालको बास र सुतुर्मुर्गको ठाउँ हुनेछ ।
Thorns shall spring up in her palaces; Nettles and thistles in her strongholds. She shall become a habitation for jackals, A court for ostriches.
14 त्यहाँ जङ्गली जनावरहरू र हुँडारहरू भेट्नेछन् अनि घोरलहरू एकआपसमा कराउनेछन् । रातका जनावरहरू त्यहाँ बस्नेछन् र तिनीहरूको निम्ति विश्रामको ठाउँ हुनेछ ।
The wild-cats shall fall upon the wolves, And the satyr shall call to his fellow; There also shall the night-spectre light, And find a place of rest.
15 लाटोकोसेराहरूले गुँड बनाउनेछन्, अण्डा पार्नेछन् कोरल्नेछन् र तिनीहरूका बचेराहरूको संरक्षण गर्नेछन् । हो, त्यहाँ आ-आफ्ना जोडीसँग बाजहरू भेला हुनेछन् ।
There also shall the arrow-snake make her nest, and lay her eggs; She shall hatch them, and gather her young under her shadow: There also shall the vultures be gathered together, Every one with her mate.
16 परमप्रभुको चर्मपत्रको मुट्ठोभरि खोज । यिमध्ये एउटै पनि हराउनेछैन । कसैलाई पनि जोडीको कमी हुनेछैन । किनकि उहाँको मुखले यस्तो आज्ञा दिनुभएको छ र उहाँको आत्माले तिनीहरूलाई भेला गर्नुभएको छ ।
Search ye the book of Jehovah, and read! Not one of these shall fail; Not one shall want her mate; For His mouth, it shall command, And His spirit, it shall gather them.
17 उहाँले नै तिनीहरूका ठाउँहरूका निम्ति चिट्ठा हाल्नुभएको छ र उहाँकै हातले तिनीहरूको निम्ति डोरीले नाप लिनुभएको छ । तिनीहरूले सदासर्वदा त्यसको अधिकार गर्नेछन् । पुस्तादेखि पुस्तासम्म तिनीहरू त्यहाँ बस्नेछन् ।
He shall cast the lot for them; His hand shall divide it for them with a line; They shall possess it forever; From generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
