1 बेल झुक्छ, नेबो निहुरिन्छ । तिनीहरूका मूर्तिहरूलाई जनावरहरू र भारी बोक्‍ने पशुहरूले बोक्छन् । तिमीहरूले बोक्‍ने यी मूर्तीहरू थकित पशुहरूका निम्ति गह्रौँ बारी हुन्छन् ।
Bel has fallen, Nabo is broken to pieces, their graven images are gone to the wild beasts and the cattle: you take them packed up as a burden to the weary, exhausted, hungry, and [at the same time] helpless man;
2 तिनीहरू एकसाथ झुक्छन् र घुँडा टेक्छन् । तिनीहरूले मुर्तिहरूलाई छुटकारा दिन सक्दैनन् र तिनीहरू आफै कैदमा गएका छन् ।
who will not be able to save themselves from war, but they themselves are led [away] captive.
3 ए याकूबको घराना, मेरो कुरा सुन्, ए इस्राएलका सबै बाँकी रहेकाहरू, जसलाई मैले तिमीहरूका जन्म हुनअगिदेखि अर्थात् गर्भदेखि नै बोकेको छु ।
Hear me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of Israel, who are borne [by me] from the womb, and taught [by me] from infancy, [even] to old age:
4 तिमीहरूका बुढेसकालमा पनि उही हुँ र तिमीहरूका कपाल फुल्‍ने बेलामा पनि म तिमीहरूलाई बोक्‍नेछु । मैले तँलाई बनाएँ र म नै तँलाई बोक्‍नेछु । म तँलाई बोक्‍नेछु र म तँलाई छुटकारा दिनेछु ।
I am [he]; and until you shall have grown old, I am [he]: I bear you, I have made, and I will relieve, I will take up and save you.
5 मलाई कोसँग तुलना गर्नेर्छस्? म कोजस्तो छु जस्तो लाग्छ ताकि हामीलाई तुलना गर्न सकियोस्?
To whom have you compared me? see, consider, you that go astray.
6 मानिहरूले झोलाबाट सुन खन्याउँछन् र चाँदीलाई तराजुमा जोख्‍नेछन् । तिनीहरूले सुनारलाई ज्याला लिन्छन् र त्‍यसबाट उसले एउटा देवता बनाउँछ । तिनीहरू त्‍यसको सामु घोप्टो पर्छन् र त्‍यसको पुजा गर्छन् ।
They that furnish gold out of a purse, and silver by weight, will weigh it in a scale, and they hire a goldsmith and make idols, and bow down, and worship them.
7 तिनीहरूले त्‍यसलाई आफ्‍नो काँधमा राख्छन् र त्‍यो बोक्छन् । तिनीहरूले त्‍यसलाई एक ठाउँमा राख्छन् र त्‍यो त्‍यहाँ खडा हुन्‍छ र त्‍यो हलचल गर्दैन । तिनीहरू त्‍यससँग पुकारा गर्छन्, तर त्‍यसले जवाफ दिन सक्दैन न कुनै व्‍यक्‍तिको कष्‍टबाट उसलाई छुटकारा दिन नै सक्छ ।
They bear it upon the shoulder, and go; and if they put it upon its place, it remains, it can’t move: and whoever shall cry to it, it can’t hear; it can’t save him from trouble.
8 ए विद्रोहीहरू, यी कुराहरूका बारेमा विचार गर । तिनलाई कदापि बेवास्त नगर ।
Remember you these things, and groan: repent, you that have gone astray, return in your heart;
9 पहिलेका कुराहरू अर्थात् विगतका समयहरूका बारेमा विचार गर, किनकि म परमेश्‍वर हुँ र त्‍यहाँ अरू कोही छैन । म परमेश्‍वर हुँ र मजस्तो अरू कोही छैन ।
and remember the former things [that were] of old: for I am God, and there is none other beside me,
10 सुरुदेखि नै म अन्तको बारेमा, अनि अझसम्‍म नघटेको कुराका बारेमा पहिलेदेखि नै म भन्‍न सक्‍छु । म भन्छु, “मेरो योजना पुरा हुनेछ र मलाई जस्‍तो इच्छा लाग्‍छ त्‍यस्‍तै म गर्नेछु ।”
telling beforehand the latter events before they come to pass, and they are accomplished together: and I said, all my counsel shall stand, and I will do all things that I have planned:
11 शिकारी चरालाई म पुर्वबाट बोलाउँछु, मैले रोजेको मानिसलाई म टाढा देशबाट बोलाउँछु । हो, मैले बोलेको छु । मैले यसलाई पुरा पनि गर्नेर्छु । मैले उद्देश्य राखेको छु, म त्‍यो पुरा गर्नेछु ।
calling a bird from the east, and from a land afar off, for the things which I have planned: I have spoken, and brought [him]; I have created and made [him]; I have brought him, and prospered his way.
12 ए हठी मानिसहरू, मेरो कुरा सुन, जो ठिक कुरा गर्नबाट टाढै बस्‍छौ ।
Listen to me, you senseless ones, that are far from righteousness:
13 म आफ्‍नो धार्मिकता नजिक ल्याउँदैछु । त्‍यो टाढा छैन, र मेरो उद्धारले पर्खंदैन । अनि सियोनलाई मेरो उद्धार र इस्राएललाई मेरो सुन्‍दरता म दिनेछु ।
I have brought near my righteousness, and I will not be slow with the salvation that is from me: I have given salvation in Sion to Israel for glory.
