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 ।
Lo! my Servant, I will uphold him, My chosen, well-pleased is my soul, —I have put my spirit upon him, Justice—to the nations, will he bring forth:
2 तिनी कराउनेछैनन् न चिच्याउनेछन्, न तिनको आवाज सडकहरूमा सुनाउनेछन् ।
He will not cry out nor will he speak loud, —Nor cause to be heard, in the street, his voice:
3 तिनले फुटेको निगालोलाई भाँच्नेछैनन्, अनि मधुरो बत्तीलाई तिनले निभाउनेछैनन्: तिनले विश्वस्ततासाथ न्याय गर्नेछन् ।
Cane that is crushed, will he not break, And wick that is fading, will he not quench, —Faithfully, will he bring forth justice:
4 पृथ्वीमा तिनले न्याय स्थापित नगरेसम्म तिनी मूर्छा पर्नेछैनन्, न निराश हुनेछन् । अनि समुद्र किनारहरूले तिनको न्यायको आशा गर्छन् ।
He will not fade, nor will he be crushed, Until he establish, in the earth, justice, And for his instruction, Coastlands, wait.
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
Thus, saith GOD himself—Yahweh, —Creator of the heavens that stretched them forth, Out-spreader of earth, and the products thereof, —Giver of breath to the people thereon, And of spirit to them who walk therein,
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—Yahweh, have called thee in righteousness, And will firmly grasp thy hand, —And will keep thee And give thee—As the covenant of a people, As the light of nations:
7 अन्धाहरूका आँखा खोलिदिन, कालकोठरीबाट कैदीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिन र अन्धकारमा बस्नेहरूलाई बन्दीगृहबाट छुटकारा दिन ।
To open eyes that are blind, —To bring forth Out of the dungeon the captive Out of the prison, the dwellers in darkness.
8 म परमप्रभु हुँ, मेरो नाउँत्यही हो । म आफ्नो महिमा अर्कोलाई दिनेछैन न म आफ्नो प्रशंसा मूर्तीहरूलाई दिन्छु ।
I, am Yahweh, that, is my Name, And, my glory, to another, will I not give, Nor my praise to images.
9 हेर, पहिलेका कुरा बितेर गए, अब म नयाँ घटनाहरूका घोषणा गर्न लागेको छु । ती सुरु हुनअगि नै तिनका बारेमा म तिमीलाई भन्नेछु ।”
Things told in advance, lo! they have come to pass, —And new things, am I telling, Ere yet they spring forth, I let, you, hear them.
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 to Yahweh, a song that is new, His praise, from the end of the earth, —Ye that go down to the sea, and the fulness thereof, The Coastlands and ye who dwell therein.
11 मरुभूमि र सहरहरूले सोर निकालून्, केदार बसेका गाउँहरू आनन्दले कराऊन्! सेला काबासिन्दाहरूले गाऊन्, पर्वतका चुचुराबाट तिनीहरू कराऊन् ।
Let the wilderness shout, and the cities thereof, The villages wherein dwelleth Kedar, —Let the inhabitants of the crag, raise shouts of triumph, From the top of the mountains, let them cry aloud:
12 तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई महिमा दिऊन् र समुद्र किनारहरूमा उहाँको प्रशंसाको घोषणा गरून् ।
Let them render unto Yahweh, glory, —And, his praise, in the Coastlands let them tell.
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 ।
Yahweh, as a hero, goeth forth, As a man of war, he stirreth up jealousy, —He giveth a cry, yea he raiseth a war-cry, Over his foes, he showeth his strength.
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 have held my peace from age-past times, I kept still, I restrained myself, —As a travailing woman, I pant, I breathe hard and gasp, all at once!
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 lay waste mountains, and hills, And all their vegetation, will I wither, —And I will make rivers to be shores, And lakes, will I dry up:
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 ।
Thus will I lead the blind, by a way they know not, In paths they know not, will I guide them, —I will make the place that was dark before them to be, light. And crooked ways, to be, straight, These things, have I done unto them, And have not forsaken them.
17 तिनीहरूलाई फर्काइनेछ, तिनीहरूलाई पुर्ण रूपमा लाजमा पारिनेछ, जसले कुँदिएको आकृतिहरूमा भरोसा गर्छन्, जसले धातुका आकृतिहरूलाई भन्छन्, “तपाईंहरू हाम्रा ईश्वरहरू हुनुहुन्छ” ।
They have drawn back They turn very pale Who have been trusting in a graven image, —Who have been saying to a molten image, Ye, are our gods!
18 ए बहिरा हो, सुन । अनि अन्धाहरूले हेर, ताकि तिमीहरूले देख्न सक ।
Ye deaf hear! And ye blind look around that ye may see,
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 if not my Servant? Or deaf, like, my messenger whom I send? Who is, blind, like an intimate friend? Or blind like the Servant of Yahweh?
20 तैंले धेरै थोक देख्छस्, तर बुझ्दैनस् । कानहरू खुल्ला छन्, तर कसैले सुन्दैन ।
Seeing many things, yet thou heedest not, Opening the ears yet he heareth not,
21 आफ्नो न्यायको प्रशंसा गर्न र आफ्नो व्यावस्थालाई महिमित पार्न परमप्रभु खुसी हुनुहुन्छ ।
Yahweh, is well-pleased for his own righteousness’ sake, He magnifieth instruction and maketh it majestic.
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, that, is a people preyed upon and plundered, Snared in holes, all of them, And, in houses of restraint, concealed, —They have become a prey, and there is none to deliver, —A booty, and there is none to say—Restore!
23 तिमीहरूमध्ये कसले यो सुन्नेछ? भविष्यमा कसले सुन्नेछ र ध्यान दिनेछ?
Who among you, will give ear to this, —Let him hearken and hear, for an aftertime?
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 gave, as a booty, Jacob. And, Israel, to them who were ready to take prey? Was it not, Yahweh? He against whom we have sinned, And they were not willing, in his ways, to walk, Neither hearkened they to his instruction?
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 hath poured out, upon him, the glow of his anger, and the strength of battle; And it hath set him aflame round about, yet he knoweth it not, And it hath kindled upon him yet he layeth it not to heart.
