यशैया 5

1 मेरो असल प्रियको निम्ति मलाई गाउन, मेरो प्रियको दाखबारीको बारेमा एउटा गीत गाउन दिनुहोस् ।

Now let me sing for my Beloved, A song of my Beloved as to His vineyard: My beloved has a vineyard in 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 fences it, and casts out its stones, And plants it [with] a choice vine, And builds a tower in its midst, And has also hewn out a winepress in it, And He waits for the yielding of grapes, And it yields bad ones!

3 त्यसैले अब ए यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरू र यहूदाका मानिस हो, म र मेरो दाखबारीको बिचमा न्याय गर ।

And now, O inhabitant of Jerusalem and man of Judah, Please judge 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 [is there] to do still to My vineyard, That I have not done in it? For what reason have I waited for the yielding of grapes, And it yields [only] bad ones?

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, pray, let Me cause you to know, That which I am doing to My vineyard, To turn its hedge aside, And it has been for consumption, To break down its wall, And it has been for a treading-place.

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 make it a waste, It is not pruned, nor arranged, And brier and thorn have gone up, And I lay a charge on the thick clouds, From raining on it rain.

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 ।

Because the vineyard of YHWH of Hosts [Is] the house of Israel, And the man of Judah His pleasant plant, And He waits for judgment, and behold, oppression, 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 [to] those joining house to house, They bring field near to field, Until there is no place, And you have been settled by yourselves In the midst of the land!

9 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, धेरै वटा घर, ठुला र भव्‍य महलसमेत रित्ता हुनेछन्, त्यसमा बस्‍ने कोही हुनेछैन् ।

Do many houses not become a desolation by the weapons of YHWH of Hosts? Great and good without inhabitant!

10 किनकि दस हलको दाखबारीले पाँच पाथी दाख र पचास पाथी बीउले पाँच पाथी अन्‍न मात्र उब्‍जाउनेछ ।

For ten acres of vineyard yield one bath, And a homer of seed yields an ephah.

11 कडा मद्य पिउनलाई बिहान सबेरै उठ्नेहरू, मद्यले तिनीहरूलाई चूर नबनाएसम्म राती अबेरसम्म बस्‍नेहरूलाई धिक्‍कार ।

Woe [to] those rising early in the morning, They pursue strong drink! Lingering in twilight, wine inflames 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 stringed instrument, tambourine, and pipe, And wine, have been their banquets, And they do not behold the work of YHWH, Indeed, they have not seen the work 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 removed without knowledge, And its honorable ones are famished, And its multitude dried up of 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 Sheol has enlarged herself, And has opened her mouth without limit. And its honor has gone down, and its multitude, And its noise, and its exulting one—into her. (Sheol h7585)

15 मानिसलाई निहुरिन बाध्‍य बनाइनेछ र मानवजाति नम्र तुल्याइनेछ । घमण्डीका आँखालाई झुकाइनेछन् ।

And the low is bowed down, and the high humbled, And the eyes of the haughty become low,

16 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु आफ्‍नो न्यायमा उच्‍च पारिनुहुनेछ र परमपवित्र परमेश्‍वरले आफ्‍नो धर्मिकताद्वारा आफूलाई पवित्र प्रकट गर्नुहुनेछ ।

And YHWH of Hosts is high in judgment, And the Holy God sanctified in righteousness,

17 तब भेडाहरू तिनीहरूका आफ्नै चरणमा झैं चर्नेछन् र भग्‍नावशेषमा थुमाहरू परदेशीझैं चर्नेछन् ।

And lambs have fed according to their leading, And sojourners consume wastelands of the fat ones.

18 धिक्‍कार तिनीहरूलाई जसले अधर्मलाई व्‍यर्थका डोरीले तान्छन् र पापलाई गाडाको डोरीले झैं तान्छन् ।

Woe [to] those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity, And as [with] thick ropes of the cart—sin.

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 are saying, “Let Him hurry, Let Him hurry His work, that we may see, And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel Draw near and come, and we know.”

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 [to] those saying to evil “good,” and to good “evil,” Putting darkness for light, and light for darkness, Putting bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.

21 धिक्‍कार तिनीहरूलाई जो आफ्नै आँखामा बुद्धिमान र आफ्नै समझमा चतुर छन्!

Woe [to] the wise in their own eyes, And—before their own faces—intelligent!

22 धिक्‍कार तिनीहरूलाई जो दाकमद्य पिउनलाई सिपालु र कडा मद्यहरू मिसाउनमा कुसल छन् ।

Woe [to] the mighty to drink wine, And men of strength to mingle strong drink.

23 जसले घुस लिएर दुष्‍टलाई छोडिदिन्‍छ र निर्दोषलाई उसको अधिकार हनन् गर्छ!

Declaring righteous the wicked for a bribe, And the righteousness of the righteous They turn aside from him.

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 devours stubble, And flaming hay falls, Their root is as muck, And their flower goes up as dust. Because they have rejected the Law of YHWH of Hosts, And despised the saying 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 the anger of YHWH has burned among His people, And He stretches out His hand against it, And strikes it, and the mountains tremble, And their carcass is as filth in the midst of the out-places. With all this His anger did not turn back, And still His hand is stretched out!

26 उहाँले टाढाका जातिहरूका निम्ति चिन्हको झण्डा उठाउनुहुनेछ र पृथ्वीको अन्तमा भएकाहरूलाई सुसेलेर बोलाउनुहुनेछ । हेर, तिनीहरू द्रूत गतिमा र तुरुन्तै आउनेछन् ।

And He lifted up an ensign to the far-off nations, And hissed to it from the end of the earth, And behold, with haste, it comes swiftly.

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 ।

There is none weary, nor stumbling in it, It does not slumber, nor sleep, Nor has the girdle of its loins been opened, Nor the strap of its sandals drawn away.

28 तिनीहरूका काँडहरू तीखा छन् र तिनीहरूका सबै धनुहरूमा ताँदो चढाइएका छन् । तिनीहरूका घोडाहरूका खुर चकमक ढुङ्गाहरूजस्ता छन् र तिनीहरूका रथहरूका पाङ्ग्राहरू आँधिजस्ता छन् ।

Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all its bows bent, Hooves of its horses have been reckoned as flint, And its wheels as a windstorm!

29 तिनीहरूका गर्जन सिंहको जस्तो हुनेछ । जवान सिंहहरूझैं तिनीहरू गर्जनेछन् । तिनीहरू गर्जन्छन् र शिकार समात्‍नेछन् र छुटाउने कोही नभई त्‍यो घिसारेर लैजान्छन् ।

Its roaring [is] like a lioness, It roars like young lions, And it howls, and seizes prey, And carries away safely, and there is none delivering.

30 त्यस दिन शिकारको विरुद्धमा तिनीहरू समुद्र गर्जेझैं गर्जनेछन् । कसैले देशलाई हेर्छ भने, उसले अन्धकार र कष्‍ट देख्‍नेछ । प्रकाशलाई पनि बादलले अँध्यारो पार्नेछ ।

And it howls against it in that day as the howling of a sea, And it has looked attentively to the land, And behold, darkness—distress, And light has been darkened by its abundance!
