< 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
The LORD says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held to subdue nations before him and strip kings of their armor, to open the doors before him, and the gates shall 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 make the rough places smooth. I will break the doors of bronze in pieces and cut 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 ।
I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, the LORD, who calls you by your name, even the God of Israel.
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 Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called you by your name. I have given you a title, though 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. Besides me, there is no God. I will strengthen you, though 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 ।
that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is no one besides me. I am the LORD, and there is no one else.
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 darkness. I make peace and create calamity. I am the LORD, who does 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 ।
Rain, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open, that it may produce salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up with it. I, the LORD, have created it.
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 strives with his Maker— a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth! Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’ or your work, ‘He has no hands’?
10 धिक्‍कार त्‍यसलाई जसले बुबालाई भन्छ, 'तपाईंले के जन्‍माउनुभयो?' वा आमालाई भन्छ, ‘तपाईंले के जन्‍म दिनुभयो?'
Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What have you become the father of?’ or to a mother, ‘What have you given birth to?’”
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?'
The LORD, the Holy One of Israel and his Maker says: “You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons, and you 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 have made the earth, and created man on it. I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens. I have commanded all their army.
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 in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight. He shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward,” says the LORD 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' ।”
The LORD says: “The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you, and they will be yours. They will go after you. They shall come over in chains. They will bow down to you. They will make supplication to you: ‘Surely God is in you; and there is no one else. There is no other god.
15 हे इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर, उद्धारक, साँच्‍चै तपाईं परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्छ, जसले आफैलाई लुकाउनुहुन्छ ।
Most certainly you are a God who has hidden yourself, God of Israel, the Savior.’”
16 तिनीहरू सबै एकसाथ लज्‍जित र अपमानित हुनेछन् । मूर्ती बनाउनेहरू अपमानमा हिंड्नेछन् ।
They will be disappointed, yes, confounded, all of them. Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.
17 तर परमप्रभुले इस्राएललाई अनन्त उद्धारसहित बचाउनुहुनेछ । तँ फेरि कहिल्यै लज्‍जित वा अपमानित हुनेछैनस् ।
Israel will be saved by the LORD with an everlasting salvation. You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.
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 the LORD who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and didn’t create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited says: “I am the LORD. 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 place of the land of darkness. I didn’t say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, the LORD, speak righteousness. I declare things that are 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 come. Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations. Those have no knowledge who carry the wood of their engraved image, and pray to a god that can’t 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 ।
Declare and present it. Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has shown this from ancient time? Who has declared it of old? Haven’t I, the LORD? There is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior. There is no one besides me.
22 ए पृथ्वीका अन्‍तिम छेउका हो, मतिर फर्क र बाँच । किनकि म नै परमेश्‍वर हुँ र त्‍यहाँ अरू कोही छैन ।
“Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; 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 has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and will not be revoked, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath.
24 तिनीहरूले मेरो बारेमा यसो भन्‍नेछन्, “परमप्रभुमा मात्र उद्धार र शक्ति छ ।” उहाँसँग रिसाउनेहरू सबै लाजमा पर्नेछन् ।
They will say of me, ‘There is righteousness and strength only in the LORD.’” Even to him will men come. All those who raged against him will be disappointed.
25 परमप्रभुमा नै इस्राएलका सबै सन्तानहरू धर्मी ठहरिनेछन् । तिनीहरूले उहाँमा नै गर्व गर्नेछन् ।
All the offspring of Israel will be justified in the LORD, and will rejoice!
