यशैया 47
1 ए बेबिलोनकी कन्ये छोरी, तल आइज र धूलोमा बस् । ए कल्दीकी छोरी सिंहासनविना नै जमिनमा बस् । तँलाई कदापि सुकुमार र कोमल भनिनेछैन ।
“Come down and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Chaldeans. For you will no longer be called tender and delicate.
2 जाँतो लि र पीठो पिंध् । तेरो घुम्टो हटा, तेरो लामो वस्त्र उतार, तेरा गोडाहरू नाङ्गो पार्, खोलाहरू तर् ।
Take the millstones and grind flour. Remove your veil, lift up your skirt, uncover your legs, and wade through the rivers.
3 तेरो नाङ्गोन देखिनेछ, हो, तेरो लाज देखिनेछ । म बद्ला लिनेछु र एक जना मानिसलाई पनि छोड्नेछैन ।
Your nakedness will be uncovered. Yes, your shame will be seen. I will take vengeance, and will spare no one.”
4 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु हाम्रा उद्धारक, इस्राएलको परमपवित्र उहाँको नाउँ हो ।
Our Redeemer, the LORD of Armies is his name, is the Holy One of Israel.
5 कल्दीकी छोरी, शान्त बस् र अँध्यारोमा जा । किनकि तँलाई कदापि राज्यहरूको रानी भनिनेछैन ।
“Sit in silence, and go into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans. For you shall no longer be called the mistress of kingdoms.
6 म आफ्ना मानिसहरूसित रिसाएको थिएँ । मैले मेरो उत्तराधिकारलाई अशुद्ध तुल्याएँ र तिनीहरूलाई तेरो हातमा सुम्पें, तर तैंले तिनीहरूलाई कुनै दया देखाइनस् । वृद्ध मानिसहरूमाथि तैंले धेरै गह्रौं जुवा बोकाइस् ।
I was angry with my people. I profaned my inheritance and gave them into your hand. You showed them no mercy. You laid a very heavy yoke on the aged.
7 तैंले भनिस्, “म सदासर्वदा प्रभुत्वशाली रानी भएर राज्य गर्नेछु ।” यी कुराहरूलाई तैंले मनमा राखिनस्, न ती के हुनेछन् भनी तैंले विचार गरिस् ।
You said, ‘I will be a princess forever,’ so that you did not lay these things to your heart, nor did you remember the results.
8 त्यसैले अब यो कुरा सुन, तिमीहरू जो विलासिता रुचाउँछौ र निष्फिक्रि बस्छौ । तिमीहरू जसले आफ्नो मनमा भन्छौ, “म अस्तित्वमा छु, र मजस्तो त्यहाँ अरू कोही छैन । म कहिल्यै विधवाझैं बस्नेछैन, न छोराछोरी नाश भएको अनुभव म कहिल्यै गर्नेछु ।”
“Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me. I will not sit as a widow, neither will I know the loss of children.’
9 तर यी दुई कुराहरू एकै दिनमा एकै छिनमा तँलाई हुनेछन्ः छोराछोरीको नाश र विधवापन । तँसँग मन्त्रतन्त्र, टुनामुना र जन्तरहरू भए पनि ती तँमाथि पुरा शक्किका साथ आउनेछन् ।
But these two things will come to you in a moment in one day: the loss of children and widowhood. They will come on you in their full measure, in the multitude of your sorceries, and the great abundance of your enchantments.
10 तैंले आफ्ना दुष्टतामा भरोसा गरिस् । तैंले भनेको छस्, “मलाई कसैले देख्दैन ।” तेरो बुद्धि र तेरो ज्ञानले तँलाई बहकायो तर तैंले आफ्नो मनमा भन्छस्, “म अस्तित्वमा छु, त्यहाँ मजस्तो अरू कोही छैन ।”
For you have trusted in your wickedness. You have said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and your knowledge has perverted you. You have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’
11 तँमाथि विपत्ति आइपर्नेछ । आफ्नो मन्त्रतन्त्रले तैंले त्यो धपाउन सक्नेछैनस् । तँमाथि विनाश आउनेछ । तैंले त्यसलाई तर्काउन सक्नेछैनस् । तैंले थाहा पाउनुअगि नै विपत्तिले तँलाई अचानक प्रहार गर्नेछ ।
Therefore disaster will come on you. You will not know when it dawns. Mischief will fall on you. You will not be able to put it away. Desolation will come on you suddenly, which you do not understand.
12 आफ्नो तन्त्रमन्त्र र आफ्ना धेरै टुनामुनामा निरन्तर लाग्, जसलाई तैंले आफ्नो बाल्यकालदेखि नै विश्वस्ततासाथ उच्चारण गरेको छस् । सायद तँ सफल हुनेछस्, सायद तैंले विपत्तिलाई भगाउनेछस् ।
“Stand now with your enchantments and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth, as if you might profit, as if you might prevail.
13 तेरा धेरै सल्लाहरूदेखि तँ थाकेको छस् । ती मानिसहरू खडा होऊन् र तँलाई बचाऊन्— तिनीहरू जसले आकाशको मानचित्र बनाउँछन्, र ताराहरू हेर्छन्, जसले औंसीको घोषणा गर्छन्— तँलाई जे हुनेछ सोबाट तिनीहरूले नै तँलाई बचाऊन् ।
You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels. Now let the astrologers, the stargazers, and the monthly prognosticators stand up and save you from the things that will happen to you.
14 हेर, ती परालको झ्यासझैं हुनेछन् । आगोले तिनलाई जलाउनेछ । ज्वालाको हातबाट तिनीहरूले आफूलाई बचाउनेछैनन् । तिनीहरूलाई न्यानो पर्न कुनै भुङ्ग्रो छैन र तिनीहरूले आगो ताप्नलाई आगो छैन!
Behold, they are like stubble. The fire will burn them. They will not deliver themselves from the power of the flame. It will not be a coal to warm at or a fire to sit by.
15 तेरो निम्ति तिनीहरू यस्तै भएका छन्— जससँग तैंले काम गरेको छस्, अनि तिनीहरूसँग तैंले आफ्नो जवानीखि किनबेच गरेको छस्, तिनीहरू हरेक आ-आफ्नै निर्देशनमा भौंतारिए । तँलाई छुटकारा दिने सक्ने त्यहाँ कोही छैन ।”
The things that you labored in will be like this: those who have trafficked with you from your youth will each wander in his own way. There will be no one to save you.
