यशैया 43
1 तर अब ए याकूब तँलाई सृष्ट गर्नुहुने, अनि ए इस्राएल, तँलाई बनाउनुहुने परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः “नडरा, किनकि मैले तँलाई उद्धार गरेको छु । तेरो नाउँ काढेर मैले तँलाई बोलाएको छु, तँ मेरै होस् ।
And now thus says the Lord who created you, O Jacob, and who formed you, O Israel: Do not be afraid. For I have redeemed you, and I have called you by your name. You are mine.
2 तँ पानीबाट भएर जाँदा, म तँसँग हुनेछु । अनि नदीहरूबाट भएर जाँदा तिनीहरूले तँलाई डुबाउनेछैनन् । तँ आगोबाट भएर हिंड्दा तँ जल्नेछैनस् र ज्वालाहरूले तँलाई भस्म पार्नेछैनन् ।
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and the rivers will not cover you. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned, and the flames will not scorch you.
3 किनकि म परमप्रभु तेरो परमेश्वर, इस्राएलको परमपवित्र तेरो उद्धारक हुँ । मैले मिश्रदेशलाई तेरो मूल्यको रूपमा दिएको छु, कूश र सेबालाई तेरो बद्लामा दिएको छु ।
For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I have presented Egypt as your atonement, Ethiopia and Seba on your behalf.
4 तँ मेरो दृष्टिमा मूल्यवान र विशेष भएको हुनाले, म तँलाई प्रेम गर्छु । यसकारण तेरो सट्टामा म मानिसहरूलाई र जीवनको सट्टामा अरू मानिसहरूलाई तेरो दिने छु ।
Since then, you have become honorable in my eyes, and glorious. I have loved you, and I will present men on behalf of you, and people on behalf of your life.
5 नडरा, किनभने म तँसँग छु । तेरा सन्तानलाई म पुर्वबाट ल्याउनेछु र तँलाई पश्चिमबाट जम्मा पार्नेछु ।
Fear not, for I am with you. I will lead your offspring from the East, and I will gather you from the West.
6 म उत्तरलाई, 'तिनीहरूलाई सुम्पीदे,' र दक्षिणलाई, 'कुनैलाई पनि नरोक्,' भन्नेछु। मेरा छोराहरूलाई टाढाबाट र मेरी छोरीहरूलाई पृथ्वीको सुदूर क्षेत्रहरूबाट ल्याओ ।
I will say to the North, “Release him,” and to the South, “Do not turn him away.” Bring my sons from far away, and my daughters from the ends of the earth.
7 मेरो नाउँद्वारा बोलाइएका सबैलाई, जसलाई मैले मेरो महिमाको निम्ति सृष्टि गरेको छु, जसलाई मैले आकार दिएँ, हो, जसलाई मैले बनाएँ ।
And each one who calls upon my name, I have created for my glory. I have formed him, and I have made him.
8 आफूसँग आँखा भएर पनि अन्धा मानिसहरू, र आफूसँग कान भएर पनि बहिराहरूलाई बहिर ल्याओ ।
Lead forth the people who are blind and have eyes, who are deaf and have ears.
9 सबै जातिहरू एकसाथ भेला हुन्छन् र मानिसहरू जम्मा हुन्छन् । तिनीहरूमध्ये कसले यो घोषणा गर्न सक्थ्यो र हामीलाई पहिलेको कुराहरू बताउन सक्थ्यो? तिनीहरूलाई ठिक साबित गर्न आ-आफ्ना गवाही ल्याऊन्, तिनीहरूले सुनून् र 'यो सत्य हो' भनी पुष्टि गरून् ।
All the nations have been assembled together, and the tribes have been collected. Who among you will announce this, and who will cause us to listen to the things that are first? Let them present their witnesses. Let them act justly, and listen, and say: “It is true.”
10 परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, “तिमीहरू मेरा गवाहीहरू हौ र मैले चुनेको मेरो सेवक हौ, ताकि तिमीहरूले मलाई चिन र ममा विश्वास गर र म उही हुँ भनी बुझ । मभन्दा पहिले त्यहाँ कुनै ईश्वर बनेको थिएन, र न मपछि कुनै ईश्वर हुनेछ ।
You are my witnesses, says the Lord, and you are my servant, whom I have chosen, so that you may know, and may believe in me, and so that you may understand that I am the same. Before me, there was no god formed, and after me there will be none.
11 म, म परमप्रभु हुँ, र मबाहके कुनै उद्धारक छैन ।
I am. I am the Lord. And there is no savior apart from me.
12 मैले घोषणा गरेको छु, बचाएको छु र बताएको छु, तिमीहरूका माझमा अरू कुनै ईश्वर छैन । तिमीहरू मेरा गवाहीहरू हौ । म परमेश्वर हुँ,” परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ ।
I have announced, and I have saved. I have caused it to be heard. And there was no stranger among you. You are my witnesses, says the Lord, and I am God.
13 आजको दिनदेखि म उही हुँ र कसैले पनि मेरो हातबाट कसैलाई छुट्टाउनेछैन । म काम गर्छु र कसले त्यो फर्काउन सक्छ र?”
And from the beginning, I am the same. And there is no one who can rescue from my hand. I act, and who can turn it aside?
14 परमप्रभु, तिमीहरूका उद्धारक, इस्राएलका परमपवित्र यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “तिमीहरूका निम्ति म बेबिलोनमा पठाउँछु र तिनीहरू सबैलाई भगौडाहरूका रूपमा तल लानेछु, यसरी बेबिलोनीहरूका आनन्दको गीतलाई विलापको सोरमा बदली गर्नेछु ।
Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake, I sent to Babylon, and tore down all their bars, with the Chaldeans who glory in their ships.
15 म परमप्रभु, तेरो परमपवित्र, इस्राएलको सृष्टिकर्ता, तेरो राजा हुँ ।”
I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
16 परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, (जसले समुद्रमा बाटो र शक्तिशाली पानीमा गोरेटो खोल्नुभयो,
Thus says the Lord, who gave you a way through the sea and a path through the torrent of waters,
17 जसले रथ र घोडा र फौज र शक्तिशाली सेनालाई डोर्याउनुभयो । तिनीहरू एकसाथ ढले । तिनीहरू फेरि कहिल्यै उठ्नेछैनन् । बलिरहेका बत्ती निभाएझैं ती निभाइन्छन् ।)
who led out the chariot and the horse, the column of robust troops. They went to sleep together, and they will not arise. They have been crushed like flax, and they have been extinguished.
18 “यी पहिलेका कुराहरूका बारेमा विचार नगर, न त धेरै पहिलेका कुराहरूका बारेमा विचार गर ।
You need not call to mind the past, nor consider the things of antiquity.
19 हेर, मैले एउटा नयाँ कुरा गर्न लागेको छु । अब यो पुरा हुन सुरु हुन्छ । के तिमीहरूले यो बुझ्दैनौ? मरुभूमिमा म एउटा बाटो र उजाड-स्थानमा पानीका खोलाहरू बानउनेछु ।
Behold, I am accomplishing new things. And presently, they will spring forth. With certainty, you will know them. I will make a way in the desert, and rivers in an impassible place.
20 खेतबारीका जङ्गली जनावरहरू, स्यालहरू र सुतुर्मुर्गहरूले मेरो आदर गर्नेछन्, किनभने मेरा चुनिएका मानिसहरूलाई पिउनको निम्ति म उजाड-स्थानमा पानी र मरुभुमिमा नदीहरू दिन्छु,
The wild beasts of the field will glorify me, with the serpents and the ostriches. For I have brought waters to the desert, rivers to inaccessible places, in order to give drink to my people, to my elect.
21 यी मानिसहरू जसलाई मैले आफ्नो निम्ति बनाएँ, ताकि तिनीहरूले मेरा प्रशंसाहरूको वर्णन गरून् ।
This is the people whom I have formed for myself. They will speak my praise.
22 तर ए याकूब, तैंले मलाई पुकारको छैनस् । ए इस्राएल, तँ मसँग थकित भएको छस् ।
But you have not called upon me, O Jacob, nor have you struggled for me, O Israel.
23 तैंले तेरो भेडाहरूमध्ये कुनैलाई पनि होमबलिको रूपमा मकहाँ ल्याको छैनस् न तेरा बलिदानहरूले मेरो आदर गरेको छस् । मैले तँमाथि अन्न बलिहरूको भार थोपारेको छैन न धूपहरूको माग गरेर तँलाई थकित बनाएको छु ।
You have not offered me the ram of your holocaust, and you have not glorified me with your victims. I have not burdened you with oblations, nor have I wearied you with incense.
24 तैंले मलाई पैसा हालेर सुगन्धित बोझो किनेको छैनस्, न तेरो बलिदानहरूको बोसो ममाथि खन्याएको छस् । तर तैंले मलाई आफ्ना पापहरूले भार थोपरेको छस्, तैंले मलाई आफ्ना दुष्ट कामहरू थकित बनाएको छस् ।
You have bought me no sweet cane with money, and you have not inebriated me with the fat of your victims. Yet truly, you have burdened me with your sins; you have wearied me with your iniquities.
25 हो, म, म उही हुँ जसले तेरा अपराधहरूलाई मेरो आफ्नै निम्ति मेटिदिनेछु । अनि तेरा पापहरूलाई म फेरि कदापि आफ्नो मनमा राख्नेछैनँ ।
I am. I am the very One who wipes away your iniquities for my own sake. And I will not remember your sins.
26 जे भएको थियो मेरो निम्ति याद गर । हामी एकसाथ बहस गरौं । तेरो मुद्दा पेस गर्, ताकि तँ निर्दोष साबित हुन सक्छस् ।
Call me to mind, and let us go to judgment together. If you have anything to justify yourself, explain it.
27 तेरो पहिलो बुबाले पाप गर्यो, अनि तेरा अगुवाहरूले मेरो विरुद्ध अपराद गरेका छन् ।
Your first father sinned, and your interpreters have betrayed me.
28 यसकारण म पवित्र अधिकारीहरूलाई अशुद्ध तुल्याउनेछु । म याकूबलाई पुर्ण विनाशको निम्ति र इस्राएललाई अपमानपुर्ण निन्दाको निम्ति सुम्पनेछु ।”
And so, I have defiled the holy leaders. I have handed over Jacob to slaughter, and Israel to calumny.
