यशैया 37
1 हिजकिया राजाले तिनीहरूको कुरा सुनेपछि, तिनले आफ्ना लुगा च्याते, आफूलाई भाङ्ग्राले ढाके र परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा गए ।
And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard [it], that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into 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 household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
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 saith Hezekiah, This day [is] a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and [there is] not strength to bring 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 ।’”
It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up [thy] prayer for the remnant that is left.
5 त्यसैले हिजकियाले राजाका सेवकहरू यशैयाकहाँ आए,
So the servants of king Hezekiah came 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, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have 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 blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumor, and 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 ।
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he had departed 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 it said concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, He is come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard [it], 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' ।
Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
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, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou 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 delivered them which my fathers have destroyed, [as] Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden who [were] in 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, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?
14 हिजकियाले दूतबाट त्यो पत्र प्राप्त गरे र त्यो पढे । अनि तिनी परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा गए र त्यसलाई उहाँको सामु फिंजाए ।
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up to the house of the LORD, and spread it before 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, God of Israel, that dwellest [between] the cherubim, thou [art] the God, [even] thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast 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 ।
Incline thy ear, O LORD, and hear; open thy eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent to reproach the living God.
18 हे परमप्रभु, यो सत्य हो, अश्शूरका राजाहरूले सबै जातिहरू र तिनीहरूका देशलाई विनाश गरेका छन् ।
Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries,
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 have cast their gods into the fire: for they [were] no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.
20 त्यसैले अब, हे परमप्रभु हाम्रो परमेश्वर हामीलाई त्यसको शक्तिबाट बचाउनुहोस्, ताकि पृथ्वीका सबै राज्यले जानोस् कि तपाईं मात्र परमप्रभु हुनुहुन्छ ।”
Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou [art] the LORD, [even] thou only.
21 तब आमोजका छोरा यशैयाले हिजकियाकहाँ यसो भनेर सन्देश पठाए, “परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर भन्नुहुन्छ, 'तैंले अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीबको विषयमा मसँग प्रार्थना गरेको हुनाले,
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:
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 which the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, [and] derided thee; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
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 hast thou reproached and blasphemed; and against whom hast thou exalted [thy] voice, and lifted thy eyes on high? [even] 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 thy servants hast thou reproached the LORD, and hast said, By the multitude of my chariots have I come up to the hight of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, [and] its choice fir-trees: and I will enter into the hight of its border, [and] the forest of its Carmel.
25 मैले इनारहरू खनेको छु र पानी पिएको छु । मिश्रदेशका सबै नदीहरूलाई मेरा गोडाको पैतालमुनि मैले सुकाएको छु ।
I have digged, and drank water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.
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 ।
Hast thou not heard long ago, [how] I have done it; [and] of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldst be to lay waste fortified cities [into] ruinous heaps.
27 थोरै बल भएका तिनीहरूका बासिन्दाहरूलाई चूरचूर पारिन्छ र लज्जित हुन्छन् । तिनीहरू खेतका बिरुवाहरू, हरियो घाँस, पुर्वीय बतासअगिको छाना वा खेतमा भएका घाँस हुन् ।
Therefore their inhabitants [were] of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were [as] the grass of the field, and [as] the green herb, [as] the grass on the house-tops, and [as corn] blasted before it is grown up.
28 तर तेरो बसाइ, तँ बाहिर गएको, भित्र आएको र तँ मेरो विरुद्ध रिसाएको मलाई थाहा छ ।
But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage 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 ।”
Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
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 ।
And this [shall be] a sign to thee, Ye shall eat [this] year such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
31 यहूदाको घरानाका बाँचेर बाँकी रहेकाहरूले फेरि जरा हाल्नेछन् र फल फलाउनेछन् ।
And the remnant that hath escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
32 किनकि यरूशलेमबाट बाँकी रहेकाहरू आउनेछन् । सियोन पर्वतबाट बाँचेकाहरू आउनेछन् । सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको जोशले यो गर्नेछ ।”
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape from mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts will do 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 ।
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a mound against it.
34 जुन बाटोबाट ऊ आयो त्यही बाटोबाट ऊ नै जानेछ । यस सहरभित्र ऊ पस्नेछैन— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.
35 किनकि मेरो निम्ति र मेरा सेवक दाऊदको निम्ति, म यो सहरको रक्षा गर्नेछु र यसलाई छुटकारा दिनेछु ।”
For I will defend this city, to save it for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
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 smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they [were] all dead corpses.
37 त्यसैले अश्शूरका राजा सनहेरीबले इस्राएल छाडे र घर गए र निनवेमा नै बसे ।
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt 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 came to pass, as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.
