< यशैया 5 >

1 मेरो असल प्रियको निम्ति मलाई गाउन, मेरो प्रियको दाखबारीको बारेमा एउटा गीत गाउन दिनुहोस् ।
I will sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard: My well-beloved had a vineyard upon a fruitful hill.
2 उनले यो खने, ढुङ्गाहरू हटाए र त्‍यसमा उत्तम जातको दाख रोपे । उनले त्‍यसको बिचमा एउटा धरहरा बनाए र एउटा दाखको कोल पनि बनाए । उनले दाख उत्पादन गर्ने समयसम्म पर्खे, तर त्‍यसले जङ्गली दाख मात्र फलायो ।
And he dug it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine; and he built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a winepress therein; and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, but it brought forth wild grapes.
3 त्यसैले अब ए यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरू र यहूदाका मानिस हो, म र मेरो दाखबारीको बिचमा न्याय गर ।
And now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.
4 मेरो दाखबारीको निम्‍ति मैले नगरेको त्यस्‍तो के कुरा त्‍यसको निम्ति गर्न सकिन्थ्यो? त्‍यसले दाख फलाओस् भन्‍ने मेरो आशा हुँदा, त्‍यसले किन जङ्गली दाखहरू फलायो?
What was there yet to do to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes? —
5 अब म आफ्‍नो दाखबारीलाई के गर्नेछु सो म तिमीहरूलाई भन्‍नेछु, म त्‍यसलाई चरनमा बदल्‍नेछु, त्‍यसको पर्खला म भत्काउनेछु र त्‍यसलाई कुल्चीमिल्ची गरिनेछ ।
And now, let me tell you what I am about to do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be eaten up; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trodden under foot;
6 म त्‍यसलाई बरबाद गर्नेछु र यसलाई छाँटकाँट वा खनजोत गरिनेछैन । बरु, यसमा काँढा र सिउँडीहरू उम्रिनेछन् । त्‍यसमाथि वर्ष नहोस् भनी म बादललाई आज्ञा पनि दिनेछु ।
and I will make it a waste — it shall not be pruned nor cultivated, but there shall come up briars and thorns; and I will command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
7 किनकि सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको दाखबारी इस्राएलको घराना, र यहूदाका मानिसचाहिं आनन्‍दको बगैंचा हो । न्यायको निम्ति उहाँ पर्खनुभयो, तर त्‍यसको साटोमा त्यहाँ हत्या भयो । धार्मिकताको खोज्नुभयो तर त्‍यसको साटोमा सहायताको निम्‍ति चित्कार आयो ।
For the vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah the plant of his delight: and he looked for justice, and behold, blood-shedding; for righteousness, and behold, a cry.
8 ठाउँ नै नरहने गरी घरसित घर जोड्ने र खेतसित खेत जोड्नेहरूलाई धिक्‍कार, र तिमीहरू मात्र देशमा रहन्छौ!
Woe unto them that add house to house, that join field to field, until there is no more room, and that ye dwell yourselves alone in the midst of the land!
9 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, धेरै वटा घर, ठुला र भव्‍य महलसमेत रित्ता हुनेछन्, त्यसमा बस्‍ने कोही हुनेछैन् ।
In mine ears Jehovah of hosts [hath said], Many houses shall assuredly become a desolation, great and excellent ones, without inhabitant.
10 किनकि दस हलको दाखबारीले पाँच पाथी दाख र पचास पाथी बीउले पाँच पाथी अन्‍न मात्र उब्‍जाउनेछ ।
Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.
11 कडा मद्य पिउनलाई बिहान सबेरै उठ्नेहरू, मद्यले तिनीहरूलाई चूर नबनाएसम्म राती अबेरसम्म बस्‍नेहरूलाई धिक्‍कार ।
Woe unto them that, rising early in the morning, run after strong drink; that linger till twilight, [till] wine inflameth them!
12 तिनीहरू वीणा, सारङ्गी, बाँसुरी र मद्यसित भोज खान्छन्, तर तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको कामको चिन्‍दैनन्, न त तिनीहरूले उहाँका हातका कामहरूलाई नै विचार गरेका छन् ।
And harp and lyre, tambour and flute, and wine are in their banquets; but they regard not the work of Jehovah, nor do they see the operation of his hands.
13 यसकारण सुझबुझको कमीला गर्दा मेरा मानिसहरू निर्वासनमा गएका छन् । तिनीहरूका आदरणिय अगुवाहरू भोक-भोकै हुन्छन् र तिनीहरूका साधारण मानिससँग पिउनलाई कुनै कुरा छैन ।
Therefore my people are led away captive from lack of knowledge, and their nobility die of famine, and their multitude are parched with thirst.
14 यसकारण चिहानले आफ्‍नो भोकलाई ठुलो पारेको छ र त्‍यसले आफ्नो मुखलाई चौडा पारेको छ । तिनीहरूका कुलीनहरू, मानिसहरू, हल्ले गर्नेहरू र तिनीहरू माझका खुसी हुनेहरू चिहानमा जान्‍छन् । (Sheol h7585)
Therefore doth Sheol enlarge its desire, and open its mouth without measure; and her splendour shall descend [into it], and her multitude, and her tumult, and [all] that is joyful within her. (Sheol h7585)
15 मानिसलाई निहुरिन बाध्‍य बनाइनेछ र मानवजाति नम्र तुल्याइनेछ । घमण्डीका आँखालाई झुकाइनेछन् ।
And the mean man shall be bowed down, and the great man brought low, and the eyes of the lofty shall be brought low;
16 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु आफ्‍नो न्यायमा उच्‍च पारिनुहुनेछ र परमपवित्र परमेश्‍वरले आफ्‍नो धर्मिकताद्वारा आफूलाई पवित्र प्रकट गर्नुहुनेछ ।
and Jehovah of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy God hallowed in righteousness.
17 तब भेडाहरू तिनीहरूका आफ्नै चरणमा झैं चर्नेछन् र भग्‍नावशेषमा थुमाहरू परदेशीझैं चर्नेछन् ।
And the lambs shall feed as on their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.
18 धिक्‍कार तिनीहरूलाई जसले अधर्मलाई व्‍यर्थका डोरीले तान्छन् र पापलाई गाडाको डोरीले झैं तान्छन् ।
Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as with cart-ropes!
19 धिक्‍कार तिनीहरूलाई, जसले भन्छन्, “परमेश्‍वरले हतार गर्नुभएको होस्, उहाँले चाँडै काम गर्नुभएको होस्, यसैले कि हामी यसो भएको देख्‍न सक्‍छौं । र इस्राएलको परमपवरित्रको योजना पुरा होस् ताकि हामीले ती थाहा पाउनेछौं ।”
who say, Let him hasten, let him speed his work, that we may see [it]; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!
20 धिक्‍कार तिनीहरूलाई जसले खराबलाई असल र असललाई खराब भन्छन् । जसले ज्योतिलाई अँध्यारो र अँध्यारोलाई ज्योतिको रूपमा लिन्छन् । अनि तीतोलाई गुलियो र गुलियोलाई तीतोको रूपमा लिन्छन् ।
Woe unto them who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 धिक्‍कार तिनीहरूलाई जो आफ्नै आँखामा बुद्धिमान र आफ्नै समझमा चतुर छन्!
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and intelligent in their own esteem!
22 धिक्‍कार तिनीहरूलाई जो दाकमद्य पिउनलाई सिपालु र कडा मद्यहरू मिसाउनमा कुसल छन् ।
Woe unto them that are mighty for drinking wine, and men valiant to mix strong drink;
23 जसले घुस लिएर दुष्‍टलाई छोडिदिन्‍छ र निर्दोषलाई उसको अधिकार हनन् गर्छ!
who justify the wicked for a bribe, and turn away the righteousness of the righteous from them!
24 यसकारण जसरी आगोको ज्वालाले झिंजामिंजालाई जलाउँछ र जसरी सुकेको घाँस आगोमा भष्‍म हुन्‍छ, त्यसरी नै तिनीहरूका जरा सड्नेछ र तिनीहरूका फूल धूलोझैं उड्‍नेछ । सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको व्यावस्थालाई तिनीहरूले इन्कार गरेका हुनाले यसो हुनेछ, अनि इस्राएलका परमपवित्रको वचनलाई तिनीहरूले घृणा गरेका हुनाले यस्‍तो हुनेछ ।
Therefore as a tongue of fire devoureth the stubble, and dry grass sinketh down in the flame, their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; for they have rejected the law of Jehovah of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 यसकारण परमप्रभुको रिस उहाँका मानिसहरूका विरुद्ध दन्किएको छ । उहाँले आफ्नो हात तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा पसार्नुभएको छ र तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनुभएको छ । पहडाहरू काँप्छन् र तिनीहरूका लाशहरू गल्‍लीहरूमा फोहोर झैं छन् । यी सबै कुरामा उहाँको रिस मर्दैन । बरु, उहाँको हात अझै पसारिएको छ ।
Therefore is the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people, and he hath stretched out his hand against them and hath smitten them; and the mountains trembled, and their carcases are become as dung in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still.
26 उहाँले टाढाका जातिहरूका निम्ति चिन्हको झण्डा उठाउनुहुनेछ र पृथ्वीको अन्तमा भएकाहरूलाई सुसेलेर बोलाउनुहुनेछ । हेर, तिनीहरू द्रूत गतिमा र तुरुन्तै आउनेछन् ।
And he will lift up a banner to the nations afar off, and will hiss for one from the end of the earth; and behold, it will come rapidly [and] lightly.
27 तिनीहरूका माझमा कोही पनि थाक्‍नेछन् न त ठेस खानेछैन् । कोही पनि निदाउनेछैन न त उँघ्‍नेछन् । न त तिनीहरूका पेटीहरू खुकुला हुनेछन्, न त तिनीहरूका जुत्ताका फिताहरू नै खुकुला हुनेछन् ।
None among them is weary, none stumbleth; they slumber not, nor sleep; none hath the girdle of his loins loosed, nor the thong of his sandals broken;
28 तिनीहरूका काँडहरू तीखा छन् र तिनीहरूका सबै धनुहरूमा ताँदो चढाइएका छन् । तिनीहरूका घोडाहरूका खुर चकमक ढुङ्गाहरूजस्ता छन् र तिनीहरूका रथहरूका पाङ्ग्राहरू आँधिजस्ता छन् ।
their arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses' hoofs are reckoned as the flint, and their wheels as a whirlwind.
29 तिनीहरूका गर्जन सिंहको जस्तो हुनेछ । जवान सिंहहरूझैं तिनीहरू गर्जनेछन् । तिनीहरू गर्जन्छन् र शिकार समात्‍नेछन् र छुटाउने कोही नभई त्‍यो घिसारेर लैजान्छन् ।
Their roaring is like a lioness, they roar as the young lions; yea, they growl, and snatch the prey, and carry it away safe, and there is none to deliver;
30 त्यस दिन शिकारको विरुद्धमा तिनीहरू समुद्र गर्जेझैं गर्जनेछन् । कसैले देशलाई हेर्छ भने, उसले अन्धकार र कष्‍ट देख्‍नेछ । प्रकाशलाई पनि बादलले अँध्यारो पार्नेछ ।
and they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. And if one look upon the earth, behold darkness [and] distress, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.
