< यशैया 45 >
1 आफ्नो अभिषिक्त कोरेसलाई परमप्रभुले यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, उसको सामु रहेका जातिहरूलाई अधीन गर्न, राजाहरूलाई निशस्त्र पार्न र ढोकाहरू खुल्ला रहून् भनेर उसको सामु भएका ढोकाहरू खोल्न, उसको दाहिने हातलाई म समात्छुः
Thus says the Lord to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I hold, so that I may subjugate the nations before his face, and I may turn the backs of kings, and I may open the doors before him, and so that the gates will not be shut.
2 “म तेरो अगि-अगि जानेछु र पर्वतहरूलाई समतल बनाउनेछु । काँसाका ढोकाहरूलाई म टुक्रा-टुक्रा बनाउनेछु र तिनीहरूका फलामे बारहरूलाई काटेर टुक्रा बनाउनेछु।
I will go before you. And I will humble the glorious ones of the earth. I will shatter the gates of brass, and I will break apart the bars of iron.
3 अनि अँध्यारोका भण्डारहरू र टाढा लुकाइएका धनहरू म तँलाई दिनेछु, जसले गर्दा तैंले जान्न सक्छस् कि म परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर हुँ जसले तेरो नाउँ काढेर तँलाई बोलाउँछ ।
And I will give you hidden treasures and the knowledge of secret things, so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who calls your name.
4 मेरो सेवक याकूब र मेरो चुनिएको इस्राएलको निम्ति, मैले थोरै आदरको पद तँलाई दिएर तेरो नाउँ काढेर बोलाएको छु, तापनि तैंले मलाई चिन्दैनस् ।
For the sake of Jacob, my servant, and Israel, my elect, I have even called you by your name. I have taken you up, and you have not known me.
5 म परमप्रभु हुँ र त्यहाँ अरू कुनै छैन । मबाहेक कोही परमेश्वर छैन । तैंले मलाई नचिनेको भए तापनि म तँलाई युद्धको निम्ति सुसज्जित पार्नेछु ।
I am the Lord, and there is no one else. There is no god beside me. I girded you, and you have not known me.
6 ताकि सूर्य उदाउने ठाउँदेखि, र पश्चिमदेखि मानसिहरूले मबाहेक कुनै ईश्वर छैन भनी जानून्, म परमप्रभु हुँ र अरू कोही छैन ।
So may those who are from the rising of the sun, and those who are from its setting, know that there is no one beside me. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
7 म नै ज्योति बनाउँछु र अन्धकारको सृष्टि गर्छु । म शान्ति ल्याउँछु र विपत्तिको सृजना गर्छु । यी सबै कुराहरू गर्ने परमप्रभु म नै हुँ ।
I form the light and create the darkness. I make peace and create disaster. I, the Lord, do all these things.
8 ए आकाश, माथिबाट वर्षा झार्! आकाशले धार्मिकताको वर्षा गओस् । पृथ्वीले त्यो सोसेर लेओस् ताकि मुक्ति उम्रिहोस् र त्योसँगै धार्मिकता उम्रियोस् । म, परमप्रभुले नै ती दुवैको सृष्टि गरेको हो ।
Send down dew from above, O heavens, and let the clouds rain down upon the just! Let the earth open and spring forth a savior! And let justice rise up at once! I, the Lord, have created him.
9 त्यसलाई धिक्कार जसले आफूलाई बनाउनेसँग बहस गर्छ, जो जमिनमा भएका सबै माटोका भाँडाका माझमा अरू कुनै माटोको भाँडाजस्तै छ! के माटोले कुमालेलाई यसो भन्छ, 'तैंले के बनाउँदैछस्' वा तैंले बनाएको भाँडोमा हत्ता नै छैन?’
Woe to him who contradicts his Maker, a mere shard from an earthen vessel! Should the clay say to the potter, “What are you making?” or, “Your work is not made by your hands?”
10 धिक्कार त्यसलाई जसले बुबालाई भन्छ, 'तपाईंले के जन्माउनुभयो?' वा आमालाई भन्छ, ‘तपाईंले के जन्म दिनुभयो?'
Woe to him who says to his father, “Why did you conceive?” or to a woman, “Why did you give birth?”
11 इस्राएलका सृष्टिकर्ता परमपवित्र परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, ‘मेरा छोराछोरीका बारेमा'मैले के गर्नेछु भनी तिमीहरूले किन प्रश्न सोध्छौ? के मेरो हातका कामको बारेमा मैले के गर्नुपर्छ भनी तिमीहरू सिकाउँछौ?'
Thus says the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, his Maker: Would you question me about the future, concerning my sons, and command me concerning the work of my hands?
12 मैले नै पृथ्वी बनाएँ, अनि त्यसमा मानिसको सृष्टि गरें । मेरै हातले आकाशलाई फैलाएँ, र सबै तारालाई देखा पर्ने आज्ञा मैले नै दिएँ ।
I made the earth, and I created man upon it. My hand stretched out the heavens, and I have commanded all their hosts.
13 मैले नै कोरेसलाई धार्मिकतामा उत्तेजित पारें र त्यसका सबै मार्गलाई म नै सहज बनाइदिनेछु । त्यसले मेरो सहर निर्माण गर्नेछ । त्यसले मेरा निर्वासित मानिसहरूलाई घर जान दिनेछ, न कुनै मूल्य वा घूस लिनेछ,” सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ ।
I have raised him up unto justice, and I will direct all his ways. He himself will build my city and release my captives, but not for ransom or gifts, says the Lord, the God of hosts.
14 परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “मिश्रदेशको कमाइ र शेबाका अग्ला कदका मानिसहरूसँग कूशको व्यापार तँकहाँ ल्याइनेछ । ती तेरै हुनेछन् । साङ्लामा तिनीहरू तेरो पछि-पछि आउनेछन् । तिनीहरू तेरो सामु घोप्टो पर्नेछन् र यसो भन्दै तँसँग बिन्ति गर्नेछन्, 'निश्चय पनि परमेश्वर तपाईंसँग हुनुहुन्छ र उहाँबाहेक अरू कोही छैन' ।”
Thus says the Lord: The labor of Egypt, and the business dealings of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of stature, will pass to you and will be yours. They will walk behind you. They will travel, bound in irons. And they will adore you and petition you: “In you alone is God, and there is no God apart from you.
15 हे इस्राएलका परमेश्वर, उद्धारक, साँच्चै तपाईं परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ, जसले आफैलाई लुकाउनुहुन्छ ।
Truly, you are a hidden God, the God of Israel, the Savior.”
16 तिनीहरू सबै एकसाथ लज्जित र अपमानित हुनेछन् । मूर्ती बनाउनेहरू अपमानमा हिंड्नेछन् ।
They have all been confounded and should be ashamed! These fabricators of errors have departed together into confusion!
17 तर परमप्रभुले इस्राएललाई अनन्त उद्धारसहित बचाउनुहुनेछ । तँ फेरि कहिल्यै लज्जित वा अपमानित हुनेछैनस् ।
Israel is saved in the Lord by an eternal salvation. You will not be confounded, and you will not be ashamed, even forever and ever.
18 आकाशको सृष्टि गर्नुहुने परमप्रभु, पृथ्वीको सृष्टि गर्ने र त्यसलाई बनाउने र त्यसलाई स्थापित गर्ने साँचो परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले नै त्यसको सृष्टि गर्नुभयो, उजाड होइन, तर बसोवास गर्नलाई तयार पार्नुभयोः “म नै परमप्रभु हुँ र त्यहाँ अरू कोही छैन ।
For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens, God himself who formed the earth and made it, the very Molder of it. He did not create it to no purpose. He formed it so that it would be inhabited. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
19 मैले गुप्तमा अर्थात् कुनै लुकेको ठाउँमा बोलेको छैन । मैले याकूबका सन्तानलाई, ‘व्यार्थमा मेरो खोजी गर' भनेको छैन । म परमप्रभु हुँ, जसले विश्वस्ततासाथ बोल्छु । ठिक कुराहरूको घोषणा म गर्छु ।
I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth. I have not said to the offspring of Jacob, “Seek me in vain.” I am the Lord, who speaks justice, who announces what is right.
20 आफूलाई भेला पार र आओ! जातिहरूका माझबाटका आएका शरणार्थीहरू, एकसाथ भेला होओ! तिनीहरूसँग ज्ञान नै छैन, जसले खोपेका मूर्तिहरू बोक्छन् र बचाउन नसक्ने देवताहरूसँग प्रार्थना गर्छन् ।
Assemble yourselves, and approach, and draw near together, you who have been saved among the Gentiles. They lack knowledge, who lift up the wood of their sculpture, and who petition a god unable to save.
21 नजिक आओ र मलाई यो घोषणा गर, प्रमाण ल्याओ! तिनीहरूले एकसाथ षड्यन्त्र गरून् । यसलाई धेरै पहिलेदेखि कसले प्रकट गरेको छ? कसले यो घोषणा गर्यो? के यो म परमप्रभुले नै थिएनँ र? मबाहेक त्यहाँ अरू कुनै परमेश्वर छैन, न्यायी परमेश्वर र उद्धारक । मबाहेक कुनै अरू छैन ।
Announce it, and approach, and consult together. Who has caused this to be heard from the beginning, and who has foretold it from that time? Is it not I, the Lord? And is there some other god beside me? I am a just God who saves, and there is no one except me.
22 ए पृथ्वीका अन्तिम छेउका हो, मतिर फर्क र बाँच । किनकि म नै परमेश्वर हुँ र त्यहाँ अरू कोही छैन ।
All ends of the earth, be converted to me, and you will be saved. For I am God, and there is no other.
23 म आफैंमा शपथ खान्छु, मेरो न्यायी आदेश दिन्छु र यो फिर्ता हुनेछैन, 'मेरो सामु हरेक घुँडा टेक्नेछ, हरेक जिब्रोले स्विकार गर्नेछ ।
I have sworn by myself. The Word of justice will proceed from my mouth, and it will not turn back. For every knee shall bend to me, and every tongue shall swear it.
24 तिनीहरूले मेरो बारेमा यसो भन्नेछन्, “परमप्रभुमा मात्र उद्धार र शक्ति छ ।” उहाँसँग रिसाउनेहरू सबै लाजमा पर्नेछन् ।
Therefore, he will say, “In the Lord are my justices and my dominion.” They will go to him. And all who fight against him will be confounded.
25 परमप्रभुमा नै इस्राएलका सबै सन्तानहरू धर्मी ठहरिनेछन् । तिनीहरूले उहाँमा नै गर्व गर्नेछन् ।
In the Lord, all the offspring of Israel will be justified and praised.
