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 shall no more 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 meal; remove your veil, strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers.
3 तेरो नाङ्गोन देखिनेछ, हो, तेरो लाज देखिनेछ । म बद्ला लिनेछु र एक जना मानिसलाई पनि छोड्नेछैन ।
Your nakedness shall be uncovered, yes, your shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and will spare no man,"
4 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु हाम्रा उद्धारक, इस्राएलको परमपवित्र उहाँको नाउँ हो ।
says our Redeemer; the LORD of hosts is his name, 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 more 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; on the aged you have very heavily laid your yoke.
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 shall be a mistress forever;' so that you did not lay these things to your heart, nor did you remember the latter end of it.
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 other besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall 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 shall come to you in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood; in their full measure shall they come on you, in spite of your many sorceries and the potency of your spells.
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, it has perverted you, and you have said in your heart, 'I am, and there is no other 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 won't know when it dawns: and calamity will fall on you; you will not be able to put it away: and desolation shall come on you suddenly and unexpectedly.
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; if so be you shall be able to profit, if so be you may 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; those who conjure the heavens, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save you from the things that shall come on 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!
Look, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: it shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before.
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 ।”
Thus shall the things be to you in which you have labored: those who have trafficked with you from your youth shall wander everyone to his quarter; there shall be none to save you.
