यशैया 5
1 मेरो असल प्रियको निम्ति मलाई गाउन, मेरो प्रियको दाखबारीको बारेमा एउटा गीत गाउन दिनुहोस् ।
[Now] I will sing a song about my dear friend, and about his vineyard. The vineyard was on a very fertile hillside.
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 ।
My friend plowed the ground and cleared away the stones. Then he planted very good grapevines on that ground. In the middle of the vineyard, he built a watchtower, and he dug a (winepress/pit for squeezing the grapes). Then he waited [each year] to harvest some good grapes, but the vines produced [only] sour grapes.
3 त्यसैले अब ए यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरू र यहूदाका मानिस हो, म र मेरो दाखबारीको बिचमा न्याय गर ।
Now [this is what Yahweh says]: “You people of Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah, I [am like the friend, and you are like] my vineyard; [so] you judge which of us [has done what is right].
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 more could I have done for you than what I have already done? I expected you to be doing good deeds [MET], so it is disgusting that [RHQ] you were [doing only evil things] like the vineyard that produced only sour grapes!
5 अब म आफ्नो दाखबारीलाई के गर्नेछु सो म तिमीहरूलाई भन्नेछु, म त्यसलाई चरनमा बदल्नेछु, त्यसको पर्खला म भत्काउनेछु र त्यसलाई कुल्चीमिल्ची गरिनेछ ।
[So], I will now tell you what I will do to [Judah, the place that is like] my vineyard. I will cut down the hedges, and they will be destroyed. I will tear down the walls [of the cities] and allow [wild animals] to trample the land.
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 cause it to become a wasteland where the vines are not pruned and the ground is not hoed. It will be a place where briers and thorns [DOU] grow. And I will command that no rain will fall 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 ।
The nation of Israel is [like] [MET] the vineyard of the Commander of the armies of angels. The people of Judah are [like] the garden that was pleasing to him. He expected you to be doing what is just/fair, but instead, [what he saw was people] murdering [MTY] others. [He expected that you would be doing] righteous deeds, but instead, he heard cries from people who were being [attacked] violently.
8 ठाउँ नै नरहने गरी घरसित घर जोड्ने र खेतसित खेत जोड्नेहरूलाई धिक्कार, र तिमीहरू मात्र देशमा रहन्छौ!
Terrible things will happen to you who continually [illegally] acquire houses and fields. You force one family after another to leave their homes until you are the only ones [HYP] [still] living in the land.
9 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, धेरै वटा घर, ठुला र भव्य महलसमेत रित्ता हुनेछन्, त्यसमा बस्ने कोही हुनेछैन् ।
[But] I heard the Commander of the armies of angels solemnly declare this: “[Some day], many of those huge houses will be empty/deserted; no one will be living in those beautiful mansions.
10 किनकि दस हलको दाखबारीले पाँच पाथी दाख र पचास पाथी बीउले पाँच पाथी अन्न मात्र उब्जाउनेछ ।
The vines on ten acres of land will not produce enough grapes to make (six gallons/22 liters) [of juice/wine], and ten baskets of seed will produce only one basket [of grain].”
11 कडा मद्य पिउनलाई बिहान सबेरै उठ्नेहरू, मद्यले तिनीहरूलाई चूर नबनाएसम्म राती अबेरसम्म बस्नेहरूलाई धिक्कार ।
Terrible things will happen to those who get up early [each] morning to begin drinking alcoholic drinks, and who stay awake until late at night [drinking a lot of wine] until they are completely drunk.
12 तिनीहरू वीणा, सारङ्गी, बाँसुरी र मद्यसित भोज खान्छन्, तर तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको कामको चिन्दैनन्, न त तिनीहरूले उहाँका हातका कामहरूलाई नै विचार गरेका छन् ।
They have [big parties and provide lots of] wine. At their parties, there are [people playing] harps and lyres and tambourines and flutes, but they never think about what Yahweh does or appreciate what he has created.
13 यसकारण सुझबुझको कमीला गर्दा मेरा मानिसहरू निर्वासनमा गएका छन् । तिनीहरूका आदरणिय अगुवाहरू भोक-भोकै हुन्छन् र तिनीहरूका साधारण मानिससँग पिउनलाई कुनै कुरा छैन ।
So, my people will be (exiled/taken to other countries) [far away] because they do not know [about me]. Those who are [now very important and] honored will starve, and the other people will die from 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)
[It is as though] [PRS] the place where the dead people are is eagerly looking for more Israeli people, opening its mouth to swallow them, and a huge number of people will be thrown into that place, including their leaders as well as a noisy crowd of people who enjoy living in Jerusalem. (Sheol h7585)
15 मानिसलाई निहुरिन बाध्य बनाइनेछ र मानवजाति नम्र तुल्याइनेछ । घमण्डीका आँखालाई झुकाइनेछन् ।
[Yahweh] will get rid of a huge number of people; and he will humble [many more] people who [now] are proud/arrogant.
16 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु आफ्नो न्यायमा उच्च पारिनुहुनेछ र परमपवित्र परमेश्वरले आफ्नो धर्मिकताद्वारा आफूलाई पवित्र प्रकट गर्नुहुनेछ ।
But the Commander of the armies of angels will be exalted/praised because of his acting justly. God will show that he is holy by doing righteous/just deeds.
17 तब भेडाहरू तिनीहरूका आफ्नै चरणमा झैं चर्नेछन् र भग्नावशेषमा थुमाहरू परदेशीझैं चर्नेछन् ।
Then lambs and fat sheep will [be able to] find good grass to eat, [even] among the ruins [of the houses of rich people].
18 धिक्कार तिनीहरूलाई जसले अधर्मलाई व्यर्थका डोरीले तान्छन् र पापलाई गाडाको डोरीले झैं तान्छन् ।
Some people constantly tell lies, and [it is as though] they are dragging behind them the wrong things that they have done. Terrible things will happen to them!
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 ।”
They [make fun of God and] say [to him, ] “Go ahead, do something [to punish us]! We want to see what you will do. You, the Holy One of Israel, should do what you are planning to do, because we want to know what it is.”
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 ।
Terrible things will happen to those who say that evil is good, and that good is evil, that darkness is light and that light is darkness, that what is bitter is sweet and what is sweet is bitter.
21 धिक्कार तिनीहरूलाई जो आफ्नै आँखामा बुद्धिमान र आफ्नै समझमा चतुर छन्!
Terrible things will happen to those who think that they are wise and that they (are very clever/know everything).
22 धिक्कार तिनीहरूलाई जो दाकमद्य पिउनलाई सिपालु र कडा मद्यहरू मिसाउनमा कुसल छन् ।
Terrible things will happen to those who [think that] [IRO] they are great/heroes because they are able to drink [lots of] wine, and boast about being able to mix good alcoholic drinks.
23 जसले घुस लिएर दुष्टलाई छोडिदिन्छ र निर्दोषलाई उसको अधिकार हनन् गर्छ!
If people offer them bribes in order that they will enable wicked people not to be punished, they accept those bribes, and they cause people who are innocent to be punished.
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, just like [SIM] fires burn up stubble and dry grass shrivels up and quickly burns in flames, [it will be as though] those people have roots that will rot and have flowers that will wither. [That will happen] because they rejected the laws of the Commander of the armies of angels; they have despised the messages 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 ।
That is why Yahweh is [extremely] angry [with his people]; [it is as though] his hand is raised [and he is ready to smash them]. [When he does that], the mountains will shake, and the corpses of people will be scattered in the streets like [SIM] manure. But even when that happens, Yahweh will still be very angry; he will be ready to punish his people [MET] again.
26 उहाँले टाढाका जातिहरूका निम्ति चिन्हको झण्डा उठाउनुहुनेछ र पृथ्वीको अन्तमा भएकाहरूलाई सुसेलेर बोलाउनुहुनेछ । हेर, तिनीहरू द्रूत गतिमा र तुरुन्तै आउनेछन् ।
Yahweh will send a signal to summon [armies of] nations far away; [it is as though] he will whistle [to summon those soldiers who are] in very remote places on the earth. They will come very swiftly [DOU] [to Jerusalem].
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 ।
They will not get tired or stumble. They will not [stop to] rest or to sleep. None of their belts will be loose, and none of them will have sandals with broken straps, [so they will all be ready to fight in battles].
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 will be sharp, and their bows will be ready [to shoot those arrows in a battle]. [Because their horses pull the chariots fast], sparks will shoot out from their hooves, and the wheels of the chariots will spin 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 ।
They will roar like [very strong] lions [DOU] that growl and [then] pounce on the animals they want to kill and carry them off, and no one is able to rescue them.
30 त्यस दिन शिकारको विरुद्धमा तिनीहरू समुद्र गर्जेझैं गर्जनेछन् । कसैले देशलाई हेर्छ भने, उसले अन्धकार र कष्ट देख्नेछ । प्रकाशलाई पनि बादलले अँध्यारो पार्नेछ ।
[Similarly, your enemies] will roar when they see the people they are about to kill, like [SIM] the sea roars. [On that day], if someone looks across the land, he will see [only people who are in] darkness and distressed; [it will be as though] even the sunlight is hidden by dark clouds.
