यशैया 37
1 हिजकिया राजाले तिनीहरूको कुरा सुनेपछि, तिनले आफ्ना लुगा च्याते, आफूलाई भाङ्ग्राले ढाके र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा गए ।
And it happened that, when king Hezekiah had heard this, he rent his garments, and he wrapped himself in sackcloth, and he entered the house of the Lord.
2 राजदरवारका निरीक्षक एल्याकीम, र शास्त्री शेब्ना र पुजारीहरूका धर्मगुरुहरूलाई सबैलाई भङ्ग्रा लगाएर तिनले आमोजका छोरा यशैया अगमवक्ताकहाँ पठाए ।
And he sent Eliakim, who was over the house, and Shebna, the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah, the son of Amoz, the prophet.
3 तिनीहरूले उनलाई भने, “हिजकियाले भन्नुहुन्छ, 'आजको दिन बालक जन्माउनलाई प्रसव भएको, तर आफ्नो बलाक जन्माउन आमासँग कुनै बल नभएजस्तो दुःख, हप्की र अपमानको दिन हो ।
And they said to him: “Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of tribulation, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy. For the sons have arrived at the time for birth, but there is not enough strength to bring them forth.
4 सायद तपाईंका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले प्रमुख कमाण्डरका कुराहरू सुन्नुहुनेछ जसलाई तिनका मालिक अश्शूरका राजाले जीवित परमेश्वरको निन्दा गर्न पठाएका छन्, र परमप्रभु तपाईंको परमेश्वरले सुन्नुभएको कुराको निम्ति उहाँले हप्काउनुहुनेछ । अब अझै यहाँ बाँकी रहेकाहरूका निम्ति तपाईंले प्रार्थना गरिदिनुहोस् ।’”
Perhaps, somehow, the Lord your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of the Assyrians, his lord, has sent to blaspheme the living God, and will rebuke the words that the Lord your God has heard. Therefore, lift up your prayers on behalf of the remnant which has been left behind.”
5 त्यसैले हिजकियाले राजाका सेवकहरू यशैयाकहाँ आए,
And so the servants of king Hezekiah went to Isaiah.
6 र यशैयाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “आफ्ना मालिकलाई भन, 'परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, “अश्शूरका राजाले मेरो अपमान गर्न पठाएका सेवकहरूले भनेका जुन तैंले सुनेको कुरादेखि तँ नडरा ।
And Isaiah said to them: “You shall say this to your lord: Thus says the Lord: Do not be afraid to face the words that you have heard, by which the servants of the king of the Assyrians blasphemed me.
7 हेर्, उसमा म एउटा आत्मा हालिदिनेछु, उसले एउटा खबर सुन्नेछ र ऊ फर्केर आफ्नै देशमा जानेछ । उसको आफ्नै देशमा म उसलाई तरवारले मार्नेछु ।”
Behold, I will send a spirit to him, and he will hear a message, and he will return to his own land. And I will cause him to fall by the sword, in his own land.”
8 तब प्रमुख कमाण्डर फर्के र अश्शूरका राजाले लिब्नासँग युद्ध गरिरहेको भेट्टाए, किनकि राजा लाकीशबाट गएका छन् भन्ने तिनले सुनेका थिए ।
Then Rabshakeh returned, and he found the king of the Assyrians fighting against Libnah. For he had heard that he had set out from Lachish.
9 तब कूशका राजा तिर्हाकाह र मिश्रदेशले सनहेरीबको विरुद्ध युद्ध सुरु गरे भन्ने तिनले सुने, त्यसैले तिनले हिजकियालाई यस्तो सन्देशसहित दूतहरू पठाएः
And he heard from Tirhakah, the king of Ethiopia: “He has gone forth so that he may fight against you.” And when he had heard this, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying:
10 “यहूदाका राजा हिजकियालाई यसो भन, 'तिमीले भरोसा गर्ने परमेश्वरले तिमीलाई यसो भनेर छल नगरून्, 'यरूशलेमचाहिं अश्शूरका राजाको हातमा दिइने छैन' ।
“You shall say this to Hezekiah, the king of Judah, saying: Do not let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you by saying: ‘Jerusalem will not be given into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.’
11 हेर, अश्शूरका राजाले सबै देशहरूलाई पुर्ण रूपमा नष्ट पारेर के गरेका छन् भन्ने तिमीहरूले सुनेका छौ । त्यसैले के तिमीले चाहिं छुट्कारा पाउनेछौ र?
Behold, you have heard about all that the kings of the Assyrians have done to all the lands that they have conquered, and so, how can you be delivered?
12 के मेरा पुर्खाहरूले नष्ट पारेका जातिहरूः गोजान, हारान, रेसेप र तेल-अस्सारका अदनका मानिसहरू देवताहरूले तिनीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिए?
Have the gods of the nations rescued those whom my fathers have conquered: Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden who were at Telassar?
13 हमातका राजा, अर्पादका राजा, सपर्बेम सहरहरूका, हेनाका र इव्वाका राजा कहाँ छन्?”
Where is the king of Hamath and the king of Arpad, or the king of the city of Sepharvaim, or of Hena and Ivvah?”
14 हिजकियाले दूतबाट त्यो पत्र प्राप्त गरे र त्यो पढे । अनि तिनी परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा गए र त्यसलाई उहाँको सामु फिंजाए ।
And Hezekiah took the letter from the hand of the messengers, and he read it, and he went up to the house of the Lord, and Hezekiah spread it out in the sight of the Lord.
15 हिजकियाले परमप्रभुसँग प्रार्थना गरे,
And Hezekiah prayed to the Lord, saying:
16 “हे सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर, तपाईं करूबहरूमाथि विराजमान हुनुहुन्छ, तपाईं नै पृथ्वीका सारा राज्यहरूमाथि एक मात्र परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ ।
“O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel who sits upon the Cherubim: you alone are God of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
17 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंको कान फर्काउनुहोस् र सुन्नुहोस् । हे परमप्रभु तपाईंको आँखा खोल्नुहोस् र हेर्नुहोस्, अनि सनहेरीबका कुरा सुन्नुहोस्, जुन तिनले जीवित परमेश्वरको गिल्ला गर्न पठाएका छन् ।
O Lord, incline your ear and listen. O Lord, open your eyes and see. And hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to blaspheme the living God.
18 हे परमप्रभु, यो सत्य हो, अश्शूरका राजाहरूले सबै जातिहरू र तिनीहरूका देशलाई विनाश गरेका छन् ।
For truly, O Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have laid waste to countries and territories.
19 तिनीहरूले उनीहरूका देवताहरूलाई आगोले जलाएका छन्, किनकि ति देवताहरू थिएनन् तर मानिसको हातले बनेका काठ र ढुङ्गाका काम मात्र थिए । त्यसैले अश्शूरीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई विनाश गरेका छन् ।
And they have cast their gods into the fire. For these were not gods, but the works of men’s hands, of wood and of stone. And they broke them into pieces.
20 त्यसैले अब, हे परमप्रभु हाम्रो परमेश्वर हामीलाई त्यसको शक्तिबाट बचाउनुहोस्, ताकि पृथ्वीका सबै राज्यले जानोस् कि तपाईं मात्र परमप्रभु हुनुहुन्छ ।”
And now, O Lord our God, save us from his hand. And let all the kingdoms of the earth acknowledge that you alone are Lord.”
21 तब आमोजका छोरा यशैयाले हिजकियाकहाँ यसो भनेर सन्देश पठाए, “परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर भन्नुहुन्छ, 'तैंले अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीबको विषयमा मसँग प्रार्थना गरेको हुनाले,
And Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Because of what you have prayed to me about Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians,
22 परमप्रभुले उसको बारेमा भन्नुभएको वचन यही होः “सियोनका कन्ये छोरीले तँलाई घृणा गर्छे र खिसी गर्न तँमा हाँस्छे । यरूशलेमकी छोरीले तँलाई आफ्नो टाउको हल्लाउँछे ।
this is the word that the Lord has spoken over him: The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and mocked you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
23 तैंले कसको निन्दा र अपमान गरेको छस्? कसको विरुद्ध तैंले घमण्डमा आफ्ना आँखा उचालेको र आफ्नो सोर उच्च पारेको छस्? इस्राएलको परमपवित्रको विरुद्ध हो ।
Whom have you insulted? And whom have you blasphemed? And against whom have you lifted up your voice and raised up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel!
24 तेरो सेवकहरूद्वारा तैंले परमप्रभुको निन्दा गरेको छस् र भनेको छस्, 'मेरा असंख्या रथहरूसहित पहाडहरूको उच्च स्थानहरूमा र लेबनानको उच्च ठाउँहरूमा म गएको छु । यसका अग्ला-अग्ला देवदारुहरू र यसका असल-असल सल्ला रूखहरूलाई म काट्नेछु र यसका सबभैभन्दा उच्च स्थानहरू, यसका सबभन्दा बढी फलदायी जङ्गलहरूमा म पस्नेछु ।
By the hand of your servants, you have reproached the Lord. And you have said: ‘With a multitude of my four-horse chariots, I have ascended the heights of the mountains adjoining Lebanon. And I will cut down its lofty cedars and its choice pine trees. And I will reach the top of its summit, to the forest of its Carmel.
25 मैले इनारहरू खनेको छु र पानी पिएको छु । मिश्रदेशका सबै नदीहरूलाई मेरा गोडाको पैतालमुनि मैले सुकाएको छु ।
I dug deep, and I drank water, and I dried up all the river banks with the sole of my foot.’
26 मैले यसलाई लामो समुअगि नै कसरी निश्चित गरेको छु र यसलाई प्राचीन समयमा नै गरेको छु भन्ने तैंले सुनेको छैनस्? अहिले म यसलाई पुरा गर्दैछु । तँ यहाँ अभेद्य सहरहरूलाई भग्नावशेष बनाउनलाई छस् ।
Have you not heard what I have done to it in past times? In ancient times, I formed it. And now I have brought it forth. And it has been made so that the hills and the fortified cities would fight together, unto its destruction.
27 थोरै बल भएका तिनीहरूका बासिन्दाहरूलाई चूरचूर पारिन्छ र लज्जित हुन्छन् । तिनीहरू खेतका बिरुवाहरू, हरियो घाँस, पुर्वीय बतासअगिको छाना वा खेतमा भएका घाँस हुन् ।
Their inhabitants had unsteady hands. They trembled and were confused. They became like the plants of the field, and the grass of the pastures, and like the weeds on the rooftops, which wither before they are mature.
28 तर तेरो बसाइ, तँ बाहिर गएको, भित्र आएको र तँ मेरो विरुद्ध रिसाएको मलाई थाहा छ ।
I know your habitation, and your arrival, and your departure, and your madness against me.
29 म विरुद्धको तेरो रिसको कारणले र तेरो अहङ्कार मेरो कानमा परेको हुनाले, तेरो नाकमा म आफ्नो बल्छी हाल्नेछु र म आफ्नो लगाम तेरो मुखमा हाल्नेछु । तँ जताबाट आएको हो तेतै म तँलाई फर्काउनेछु ।”
When you became angry against me, your arrogance rose up to my ears. Therefore, I will place a ring in your nose, and a bit between your lips. And I will turn you back on the road by which you arrived.
30 तेरो निम्ति चिन्ह यो हुनेछ, “यो वर्ष तैंले आफै उम्रेका कुरा खानेछस्, र दोस्रो वर्षमा त्यसबाट उम्रेका कुरा खानेछस् । तर तेस्रो वर्ष तैंले रोप्नुपर्छ र कटनी गर्नुपर्छ, दाखबारी रोप्नुपर्छ र तिनका फल खानुपर्छ ।
But this shall be a sign for you: Eat, in this year, whatever springs up on its own. And in the second year, eat fruits. But in the third year, sow and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
31 यहूदाको घरानाका बाँचेर बाँकी रहेकाहरूले फेरि जरा हाल्नेछन् र फल फलाउनेछन् ।
And what will be saved from the house of Judah, and what is left behind, will form deep roots, and will bear high fruits.
32 किनकि यरूशलेमबाट बाँकी रहेकाहरू आउनेछन् । सियोन पर्वतबाट बाँचेकाहरू आउनेछन् । सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको जोशले यो गर्नेछ ।”
For from Jerusalem, a remnant shall go forth, and salvation from mount Zion. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.
33 यसकारण परमप्रभुले अश्शूरका राजाको बारेमा यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “यो सहरभित्र ऊ आउनेछैन र उसेले यहाँ एउटा वाण पनि हान्नेछैन । यसको सामु ऊ ढाल लिएर आउनेछैन वा यसको विरुद्धमा घेरा-मचान बनाउनेछैन ।
For this reason, thus says the Lord about the king of the Assyrians: He will not enter this city, nor shoot an arrow into it, nor overtake it with a shield, nor dig a rampart all around it.
34 जुन बाटोबाट ऊ आयो त्यही बाटोबाट ऊ नै जानेछ । यस सहरभित्र ऊ पस्नेछैन— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
He will return on the road by which he arrived. And into this city, he will not enter, says the Lord.
35 किनकि मेरो निम्ति र मेरा सेवक दाऊदको निम्ति, म यो सहरको रक्षा गर्नेछु र यसलाई छुटकारा दिनेछु ।”
And I will protect this city, so that I may save it for my own sake, and for the sake of David, my servant.”
36 तब परमप्रभुको दूत गए र अश्शूरीको छाउनीमा आक्रमण गरेर १,८५,००० सिपाहीहरूलाई मारे । बिहान सबेरै मानिसहरू उठे, तब लाशहरू जताततै छरिएका थिए ।
Then the Angel of the Lord went forth and struck down, in the camp of the Assyrians, one hundred eighty-five thousand. And they arose in the morning, and behold, all these were dead bodies.
37 त्यसैले अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीबले इस्राएल छाडे र घर गए र निनवेमा नै बसे ।
And Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians, departed and went away. And he returned and lived at Nineveh.
38 पछि, उसले आफ्नो देवता निस्रोकको मन्दिरमा पुजा गरिरहँदा, उसको छोरा अद्रम्मेलेक र शरेसरले तिनलाई तरवारले मारे । त्यसपछि तिनीहरू आरारातको देशमा भागेर गए । त्यसपछि उसको ठाउँमा उसको छोरा एसरहदोनले राज्य गरे ।
And it happened that, as he was adoring his god in the temple of Nisroch, his sons, Adramelech and Sharezer, struck him with the sword. And they fled into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon, his son, reigned in his place.
