< यशैया 5 >

1 मेरो असल प्रियको निम्ति मलाई गाउन, मेरो प्रियको दाखबारीको बारेमा एउटा गीत गाउन दिनुहोस् ।
Let me sing for my well beloved a song of my beloved about his vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a very 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 ।
He dug it up, gathered out its stones, planted it with the choicest vine, built a tower in its midst, and also cut out a winepress in it. He looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes.
3 त्यसैले अब ए यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरू र यहूदाका मानिस हो, म र मेरो दाखबारीको बिचमा न्याय गर ।
"Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men 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 could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked for it to yield grapes, did it yield 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 ।
Now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away its hedge, and it will be eaten up. I will break down its wall of it, and it will be trampled down.
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 ।
I will lay it a wasteland. It won't be pruned nor hoed, but it will grow briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on 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 the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but, look, oppression; for righteousness, but, look, a cry of distress.
8 ठाउँ नै नरहने गरी घरसित घर जोड्ने र खेतसित खेत जोड्नेहरूलाई धिक्‍कार, र तिमीहरू मात्र देशमा रहन्छौ!
Woe to those who join house to house, who lay field to field, until there is no room, and you are made to dwell 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 my ears, the LORD of hosts says: "Surely many houses will be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.
10 किनकि दस हलको दाखबारीले पाँच पाथी दाख र पचास पाथी बीउले पाँच पाथी अन्‍न मात्र उब्‍जाउनेछ ।
For 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 to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; who stay late into the night, until 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 ।
The harp, lyre, tambourine, and flute, with wine, are at their feasts; but they do not regard the work of the LORD, neither have they considered 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 go into captivity for lack of knowledge. Their honorable men are famished, and their multitudes 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 Sheol has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
15 मानिसलाई निहुरिन बाध्‍य बनाइनेछ र मानवजाति नम्र तुल्याइनेछ । घमण्डीका आँखालाई झुकाइनेछन् ।
So man is brought low, humankind is humbled, and the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;
16 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु आफ्‍नो न्यायमा उच्‍च पारिनुहुनेछ र परमपवित्र परमेश्‍वरले आफ्‍नो धर्मिकताद्वारा आफूलाई पवित्र प्रकट गर्नुहुनेछ ।
but the LORD of hosts is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
17 तब भेडाहरू तिनीहरूका आफ्नै चरणमा झैं चर्नेछन् र भग्‍नावशेषमा थुमाहरू परदेशीझैं चर्नेछन् ।
Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and kids will eat the ruins of the rich.
18 धिक्‍कार तिनीहरूलाई जसले अधर्मलाई व्‍यर्थका डोरीले तान्छन् र पापलाई गाडाको डोरीले झैं तान्छन् ।
Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and wickedness as with cart rope;
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 make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near 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 to those 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 to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight.
22 धिक्‍कार तिनीहरूलाई जो दाकमद्य पिउनलाई सिपालु र कडा मद्यहरू मिसाउनमा कुसल छन् ।
Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and champions at mixing strong drink;
23 जसले घुस लिएर दुष्‍टलाई छोडिदिन्‍छ र निर्दोषलाई उसको अधिकार हनन् गर्छ!
who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice for the innocent.
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 the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have rejected the law of the LORD 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 the LORD's anger burns against his people, and he has stretched out his hand against them, and has struck them. The mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is still stretched out.
26 उहाँले टाढाका जातिहरूका निम्ति चिन्हको झण्डा उठाउनुहुनेछ र पृथ्वीको अन्तमा भएकाहरूलाई सुसेलेर बोलाउनुहुनेछ । हेर, तिनीहरू द्रूत गतिमा र तुरुन्तै आउनेछन् ।
He will lift up a banner to the nations from far, and he will whistle for them from the far regions of the earth. Look, they will come speedily and 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 ।
None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the belt of their waist be untied, nor the latchet of their shoes be 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 ।
whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent. Their horses' hoofs will be like flint, and their wheels like 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 will be like a lioness. They will roar like young lions. Yes, they shall roar, and seize their prey and carry it off, and there will be no one 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 ।
They will roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. If one looks to the land look, darkness and distress. The light is darkened in its clouds.
