यशैया 42
1 हेर, मेरो सेवक, जसलाई म समर्थन गर्छु । मेरो चुनिएको मानिस, जसमा म खुसी हुन्छु । मेरो आत्मा मैले तिनमा हालेको छु । तिनले जातिहरूका माझमा न्याय ल्याउनेछन् ।
Look! Here is my servant, the one I support; my chosen one who pleases me. I have placed my Spirit on him, and he will show the nations what is right.
2 तिनी कराउनेछैनन् न चिच्याउनेछन्, न तिनको आवाज सडकहरूमा सुनाउनेछन् ।
He won't shout or cry out; he won't raise his voice in the street.
3 तिनले फुटेको निगालोलाई भाँच्नेछैनन्, अनि मधुरो बत्तीलाई तिनले निभाउनेछैनन्: तिनले विश्वस्ततासाथ न्याय गर्नेछन् ।
He won't break a damaged reed; he won't snuff out a smoldering wick. He will faithfully make sure everyone is treated fairly.
4 पृथ्वीमा तिनले न्याय स्थापित नगरेसम्म तिनी मूर्छा पर्नेछैनन्, न निराश हुनेछन् । अनि समुद्र किनारहरूले तिनको न्यायको आशा गर्छन् ।
He won't give up or become discouraged until he has made sure that justice is upheld throughout the world. Even lands overseas will look forward to his teachings.
5 आकाश सृष्टि गर्नुहुने र त्यसलाई फिंजाउनुहुने, पृथ्वी र त्यसले उपन्न गर्ने सबै थोक बनाउनुहुने, त्यसमा मानिसहरूलाई सास दिनुहुने र त्यसमा बस्नेहरूलाई जीवन दिनुहुने परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः
This is what God the Lord says, the one who created the heavens and stretched them out, who made the earth and everything in it, who gives breath to the people on it, and life to those who live there:
6 “म परमप्रभुले तिमीलाई धार्मिकतामा बोलाएको छु र तिम्रो हात समात्नेछु । म तिमीलाई सुरक्षा दिनेछु र मानिसहरूको निम्ति करारको रूपमा र जतिहरूका निम्ति ज्योतिको रूपमा खडा गर्नेछु,
“I, the Lord, have called you to demonstrate what's right, and I will hold your hand. I will take care of you, and give you as a sign of my agreement with the people and as a light to the nations.
7 अन्धाहरूका आँखा खोलिदिन, कालकोठरीबाट कैदीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिन र अन्धकारमा बस्नेहरूलाई बन्दीगृहबाट छुटकारा दिन ।
You will make the blind see, set free those who are locked up, and lead those who sit in darkness out from prison.
8 म परमप्रभु हुँ, मेरो नाउँत्यही हो । म आफ्नो महिमा अर्कोलाई दिनेछैन न म आफ्नो प्रशंसा मूर्तीहरूलाई दिन्छु ।
I am the Lord—that is my name! I do not give my honor to anyone else; I do not give my praise to idols.
9 हेर, पहिलेका कुरा बितेर गए, अब म नयाँ घटनाहरूका घोषणा गर्न लागेको छु । ती सुरु हुनअगि नै तिनका बारेमा म तिमीलाई भन्नेछु ।”
Notice that what I foretold has come true, as will the new things I'm saying to you now. I tell you what will happen before it does.”
10 परमप्रभुको निम्ति एउटा नयाँ गीत गाओ र पृथ्वीको अन्तिम छेउबाट उहाँको प्रशंसा गाओ । तिमीहरू जो तल समुद्रमा जान्छौ, र त्यसमा भएका सबैले, समुद्री किनारहरू र त्यहाँ बस्नेहरूले ।
Sing a new song to the Lord! Sing praise from everywhere on earth, you who sail on the sea and everything in it, you islands and everyone who lives in them.
11 मरुभूमि र सहरहरूले सोर निकालून्, केदार बसेका गाउँहरू आनन्दले कराऊन्! सेला काबासिन्दाहरूले गाऊन्, पर्वतका चुचुराबाट तिनीहरू कराऊन् ।
Let the people in the desert and its towns shout; let the people of the villages of Kedar cry out loud. Let the people of Sela sing for joy; let them shout from the mountaintops.
12 तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई महिमा दिऊन् र समुद्र किनारहरूमा उहाँको प्रशंसाको घोषणा गरून् ।
Let them glorify the Lord and praise him in the islands.
13 परमप्रभु एउटा युद्धाझैं बाहिर निस्कनुहुनेछ । एक जना योद्धाले झैं उहाँले आफ्नो जोश जगाउनुहुनेछ । उहाँ करानुहुनेछ, हो, उहाँले युद्धाको ध्वनि निकाल्नुहुनेछ । उहाँले आफ्ना शत्रुहरूलाई आफ्नो शक्ति देखाउनुहुनेछ ।
Like a mighty warrior the Lord will march out, like a seasoned soldier he goes out with courage. He gives his war-cry, shouting as he battles and defeats his enemies.
14 म लामो समयसम्म चुपचाप बसेको छु । म मौन रहेको छु र आफैंलाई थामेको छु । अब म प्रसव वेदनामा परेको स्त्रझैं कराउँछु । म स्वाँ-स्वाँ गर्छु र छिटो-छिटो सास फेर्छु ।
“I didn't say anything for a long time, I kept quiet and restrained myself. But now like a woman giving birth, I will moan and gasp and pant.
15 म पहाडहरू र पर्वतहरूलाई उजाड पारेर छोड्नेछु र तिनका सबै बोटबिरुवालाई सुख्खा बनाउनेछु । अनि नदीहरूलाई टापुहरूमा म परिणत गर्नेछु र सिमसारहरू सुख्खा हुनेछन् ।
I will dry up the mountains and the hills, and make all their greenery wither. I will turn rivers into islands and dry up the pools.
16 अन्धाहरूले नचिनेका बाटोद्वारा म तिनीहरूले ल्याउनेछु । तिनीहरूलाई थाहा नभएका बाटोहरूमा म तिनीहरूलाई डोर्याउनेछु । तिनीहरूका सामु अन्धकारलाई म उज्यालोमा बद्लनेछु र बाङ्गोटिङ्गो ठाउँहरूलाई सोझो बनाउनेछु । यी कुराहरू म गर्नेछु र म तिनीहरूलाई त्यग्नेछैन ।
I will lead the blind along a road they don't know; I will guide them along paths they don't know. I will turn darkness into light before them, and smooth out the rough places. This is what I'm going to do for them; I won't let them down.
17 तिनीहरूलाई फर्काइनेछ, तिनीहरूलाई पुर्ण रूपमा लाजमा पारिनेछ, जसले कुँदिएको आकृतिहरूमा भरोसा गर्छन्, जसले धातुका आकृतिहरूलाई भन्छन्, “तपाईंहरू हाम्रा ईश्वरहरू हुनुहुन्छ” ।
But those who trust in idols and say to images, ‘You are our gods!’ will be rejected in humiliation and shame.
18 ए बहिरा हो, सुन । अनि अन्धाहरूले हेर, ताकि तिमीहरूले देख्न सक ।
Listen, you deaf people! Look and see, you blind people!
19 मेरो सेवकबाहेक को अन्धा छ? वा मैले पठाएको मेरो दूतबहेक को बहिरो छ? मेरो करारको साझेदारजस्तो बहिरो वा परमप्रभुको सेवकजस्तो अन्धा को छ?
Who is blind like my servant? Who is deaf like my messenger that I send? Who is as blind as the people of the agreement? Who is as blind as the servant of the Lord?
20 तैंले धेरै थोक देख्छस्, तर बुझ्दैनस् । कानहरू खुल्ला छन्, तर कसैले सुन्दैन ।
You've looked at many things but have not really seen; you've heard but never really listened.”
21 आफ्नो न्यायको प्रशंसा गर्न र आफ्नो व्यावस्थालाई महिमित पार्न परमप्रभु खुसी हुनुहुन्छ ।
Because the Lord does what is right he wanted to show how important and wonderful his instructions were.
22 तर यिनीहरू ठगिएका र लुटिएका मानिसहरू हुन् । तिनीहरू सबै खल्डाहरूमा जाकिएका, कैदहरूमा राखिएका छन् । तिनीहरू कसैले उद्धार नगर्ने लूटका माल भएका छन् र कसैले यसो भन्दैन, “तिनीहरूलाई फिर्ता ल्याओ ।”
But this people ended up robbed and raided, all of them trapped in holes or hidden in prisons. They have been stolen like loot, with no one to save them from being someone's prize, no one to say “Give them back!”
23 तिमीहरूमध्ये कसले यो सुन्नेछ? भविष्यमा कसले सुन्नेछ र ध्यान दिनेछ?
Who of you is going to listen to this, or pay attention later on?
24 याकूबलाई कसले लुटेराको हातमा र इस्राएललाई लुटाहाको हातमा सुम्प्यो? के परमप्रभुले नै होइन, जसको विरुद्धमा हामीले पाप गरेका छौं, जसको बाटोमा हिंड्न तिनीहरू इन्कार गरे र जसको व्यावस्था पालन गर्न तिनीहरूले इन्कार गरे?
Who let Jacob be taken as loot; who let Israel be taken by robbers? Wasn't it the Lord who we sinned against? The people weren't willing to follow his ways, and they refused to obey his law.
25 यसकारण उहाँले तिनीहरूमाथि आफ्नो डरलग्दो क्रोध र युद्धको हिंसा खन्याउनुभयो, त्यसको ज्वालाले तिनीहरूलाई घेर्यो, तापनि तिनीहरूले बुझेनन् । त्यसले तिनीहरूलाई भस्म पार्यो, तर तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई मनमा लिएनन् ।
So he poured out his furious anger on them, and the violence of war. Even though they were surrounded by flames, but they still didn't understand. The fire burned them up, but they still did not take the situation seriously.
