यशैया 38
1 ती दिनहरूमा हिजकिया बिरामी भएर मृत्यको मुखैमा पुगे । त्यसैले आमोजका छोरा यशैया अगमवक्ता तिनीकहाँ आए र तिनलाई भने, “परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, 'आफ्नो घरको व्यवस्थापन गर् । किनभने तँ मर्नेछस्, बाँच्नेछैनस्' ।”
In those days Hezekiah became ill and was near death. And so, Isaiah, the son of Amoz, the prophet, entered to him, and he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Put your house in order, for you shall die, and you shall not live.”
2 तब हिजकियाले आफ्नो मुख भित्तातिर फर्काए र परमप्रभुमा प्रार्थना चढाए ।
And Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and he prayed to the Lord.
3 तिनले भने, “कृपया, हे परमप्रभु, म तपाईंको सामु कसरी सारा हृदयले विश्वासयोग्य भएर हिंडेको छु र मैले तपाईंको नजरमा जे असल छ सो कसरी गरेको छु सो सम्झनुहोस् ।” अनि हिजकिया धुरुधुरु रोए ।
And he said: “I beg you, Lord, I beseech you, to remember how I walked before you in truth and with a whole heart, and that I have done what is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept with a great weeping.
4 तब यशैयाकहाँ परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर आयो,
And the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, saying:
5 “जा, मेरा मानिसहरूका अगुवा हिजकियालाई यसो भन्, 'परमप्रभु, तेरो पुर्खा दाऊदका परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः मैले तेरो प्रार्थना सुनेको छु, र मैले तेरो आँसु देखेको छु । हेर्, तेरो जीवनमा पन्ध्र वर्ष आयु मैले थप्न लागेको छु ।
“Go and say to Hezekiah: Thus says the Lord, the God of David, your father: I have heard your prayer, and I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your days.
6 तब म तँलाई र यस सहरलाई अश्शूरका राजाको हातबाट छुटकारा दिनेछु र म यो सहरको रक्षा गर्नेछु ।
And I will rescue you and this city from the hand of the king of the Assyrians, and I will protect it.
7 मैले जे प्रतिज्ञा गरेको छु सो मैले गर्नेछु भन्ने कुराको परमप्रभुबाटको चिन्ह तँलाई यो हुनेछ ।
And this will be a sign for you from the Lord, that the Lord will do this word, which he has spoken:
8 हेर, म आहाजको सिंढीको छायालाई दश कदम पछाडि जान लगाउनेछु ।” त्यसैले सिंढीको छाया दस कदम पढाडि गयो, जुन अगि बढेको थियो ।
Behold, I will cause the shadow of the lines, which has now descended on the sundial of Ahaz, to move in reverse for ten lines.” And so, the sun moved backward by ten lines, through the degrees by which it had descended.
9 यहूदाका राजा हिजकिया बिरामी भएर निको भएपछि तिनले लेखेको प्रार्थना यही थियो,
The writing of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, after he had fallen ill and had recovered from his sickness:
10 “मैले भनें मेरो आधा जीवनमा नै म चिहानको ढोकाभित्र जानेछु । मेरो बाँकी वर्षहरूका निम्ति मलाई त्यहाँ पठाइन्छ । (Sheol h7585)
“I said: In the middle of my days, I will go to the gates of Hell. So I sought the remainder of my years. (Sheol h7585)
11 मैले भनें परमप्रभुलाई म देख्नेछैन, जीवितहरूको देशमा म परमप्रभुलाई कदापि देख्नेछैन । मानवजाति वा संसारको बासिन्दालाई म फेरि देख्नेछैन ।
I said: I will not see the Lord God in the land of the living. I will no longer behold man, nor the habitation of rest.
12 मेरो जीवन मबाट गोठालोको पालझैं बोकेर लगिएको छ र हटाइएको छ । मेरो जीवनलाई मैले एउटा जुलाहाले जस्तो बेह्रेको छु । तपाईंले मलाई तानबाट काट्दै हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईंले मेरो जीवनलाई दिन र रातको बीचमा अन्त गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ ।
My longevity has been taken away; it has been folded up and taken from me, like the tent of a shepherd. My life has been cut off, as if by a weaver. While I was still beginning, he cut me off. From morning until evening, you have marked out my limits.
13 मैले बिहानसम्म नै पुकारा गरें । उहाँले मेरा सबै हड्डीहरूलाई सिंहले झैं तोड्नुहुन्छ । तपाईंले मेरो जीवनलाई दिन रातको बीचमा अन्त गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ ।
I hoped, even until morning. Like a lion, so has he crushed all my bones. From morning until evening, you have marked my limits.
14 गौंथलीझैं म चिरबिर गर्छु । ढुकुरझैं कुर्लिन्छु । माथितिर हेरेर मेरा आँखा थकित भएका छन् । हे परमप्रभु, म दुःखमा परेको छु । मलाई सहायता गर्नुहोस् ।
I will cry out, like a young swallow. I will meditate, like a dove. My eyes have been weakened by gazing upward. O Lord, I suffer violence! Answer in my favor.
15 मैले के भन्न सक्छु र? उहाँ मसँग बोल्ने अनि त्यसलाई पुरा गर्ने दुवै गर्नुभएको छ । मेरा सबै वर्षहरूमा म बिस्तारै हिंड्नेछु किनभने म शोकले व्याकुल भएको छु ।
What can I say, or what would he answer me, since he himself has done this? I will acknowledge to you all my years, in the bitterness of my soul.
16 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंले पठाउनुभएका दुःखकष्ट मेरो निम्ति असल छन् । मेरो जीवन मलाई फिर्ता दिइयोस् । तपाईंले मरो जीवन र स्वस्थ्यलाई पुनर्स्थापना गर्नुभएको छ ।
O Lord, if such is life, and if the life of my spirit is of such a kind, may you correct me and may you cause me to live.
17 मेरै भलाइको निम्ति मैले यस्तो शोकको अनुभव गरें । तपाईंले मलाई विनाशको खाडलबाट छुटकारा दिनुभएको छ । किनकि तपाईंले मेरा सबै पापहरूलाई आफ्नो पछाडि फाल्नुभएको छ ।
Behold, in peace my bitterness is most bitter. But you have rescued my soul, so that it would not perish. You have cast all my sins behind your back.
18 किनकि चिहानले तपाईंलाई धन्यवाद दिंदैन । मृत्युले तपाईंको प्रशंसा गर्दैन । चिहानतिर जानेहरूले तपाईंको विश्वस्तताको आशा गर्दैनन् । (Sheol h7585)
For Hell will not confess to you, and death will not praise you. Those who descend into the pit will not hope for your truth. (Sheol h7585)
19 जस्तो म आज गर्दैर्छु, जीवित व्यक्तिले, केवल जीवित व्यक्तिले मात्र तपाईंलाई धन्यवाद दिन्छ । पिताले तपाईंको विश्वस्तता छोराछोरीलाई भन्छन् ।
The living, the living, these will give praise to you, as I also do this day! The father will make the truth known to the sons.
20 परमप्रभुले मलाई बचाउन लाग्नुभएको छ र हामीले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा हाम्रो सारा दिनहरूभरि भजन गाउँदै उत्सव मानउनेछौं।”
O Lord, save me! And we will sing our psalms, all the days of our life, in the house of the Lord.”
21 यति बेला यशैयाले भनेका थिए, “अञ्जिरको लेप लिनु र त्यसलाई त्यो घाउमा लगाउनु र उहाँ निको हुनुहुनेछ ।”
Now Isaiah had ordered them to take a paste of figs, and to spread it like plaster over the wound, so that he would be healed.
22 हिजकियाले पनि भनेका थिए, “म परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा जानुपर्छ भन्ने कुराको लागि के चिन्ह हुनेछ?”
And Hezekiah said, “What will be the sign that I may go up to the house of the Lord?”
