< यशैया 46 >

1 बेल झुक्छ, नेबो निहुरिन्छ । तिनीहरूका मूर्तिहरूलाई जनावरहरू र भारी बोक्‍ने पशुहरूले बोक्छन् । तिमीहरूले बोक्‍ने यी मूर्तीहरू थकित पशुहरूका निम्ति गह्रौँ बारी हुन्छन् ।
Bel is bowed down, Nebo sinketh, their idols are [delivered] unto the beasts, and unto the cattle; those which were once carried by you are now laden up a burden to the weary beasts.
2 तिनीहरू एकसाथ झुक्छन् र घुँडा टेक्छन् । तिनीहरूले मुर्तिहरूलाई छुटकारा दिन सक्दैनन् र तिनीहरू आफै कैदमा गएका छन् ।
They are sunk, they are bowed down together; they could not deliver the burden, but they themselves are gone into captivity.
3 ए याकूबको घराना, मेरो कुरा सुन्, ए इस्राएलका सबै बाँकी रहेकाहरू, जसलाई मैले तिमीहरूका जन्म हुनअगिदेखि अर्थात् गर्भदेखि नै बोकेको छु ।
Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are borne [by me] from their birth, who are carried from the womb;
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 ।
And even unto old age I am the same; and even unto the time of hoary hairs will I bear: l have done it, and I will carry [you]; even I will bear, and deliver you.
5 मलाई कोसँग तुलना गर्नेर्छस्? म कोजस्तो छु जस्तो लाग्छ ताकि हामीलाई तुलना गर्न सकियोस्?
To whom will ye liken and assimilate me, and compare me, that we may be like?
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 ।
[There are those] that lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance; that hire a melter, that he may make of it a god; they [then] bend the knee, yea, they bow themselves down;
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 carry him, upon the shoulder they bear him, and set up him in his spot, and he remaineth standing, from his place he doth not move: yea, though one should cry unto him, he cannot answer, out of his trouble he cannot help him.
8 ए विद्रोहीहरू, यी कुराहरूका बारेमा विचार गर । तिनलाई कदापि बेवास्त नगर ।
Remember this, and take courage: take it again to heart, O ye transgressors.
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 ।
Remember the former things of olden times; for I am God, and there is no one else; I am God, and there is nothing like 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 ।”
Declaring from the beginning the end, and from the earliest days the things that have not yet been done, saying, My counsel shall stand firm, and all my pleasure will I do:
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 from the east the eagle, from a far-off country the man of my counsel; yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also execute it.
12 ए हठी मानिसहरू, मेरो कुरा सुन, जो ठिक कुरा गर्नबाट टाढै बस्‍छौ ।
Hearken unto me, ye stout of heart, 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; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will grant unto Zion salvation, unto Israel my glory.
