यशैया 50
1 परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “मैले तेरी आमालाई दिएको त्यागपत्रको प्रमाणपत्र कहाँ छ? मेरो कुनचाहिं ऋणीकहाँ मैले तँलाई बेचें? हेर, तिमीहरूका पापहरूका कारणले तिमीहरूलाई बेचियो र तिमीहरूका विद्रोहको कारणले तिमीहरूका आमालाई टाढा पठाइयो ।
Thus saith the Lord, Of what kind is your mother's bill of divorcement, by which I put her away? or to which debtor have I sold you? Behold, ye are sold for your sins, and for your iniquities have I put your mother away.
2 म आउँदा त्यहाँ किन कोही पनि थिएन? मैले बोलाउँदा किन कसैले पनि जवाफ दिएन? के मोल तिरेर छुट्टाउन मेरो हात धेरै छोटो भएको थियो र? के तिमीहरूलाई छुट्टाउन ममा कुनै शक्ति थिएन र? हेर, मेरो हप्कीले म समुद्रलाई सुकाउँछु । म नदीलाई सुख्खा बनाउँछु । पानीको कमीले त्यहाँका माछाहरू मर्नेछन् र कुहिनेछन् ।
Why did I come, and there was no man? [why] did I call, and there was none to hearken? Is not my hand strong to redeem? or can I not deliver? behold, by my rebuke I will dry up the sea, and make rivers a wilderness; and their fish shall be dried up because there is no water, and shall die for thirst.
3 आकाशलाई म अन्धाकारले ढाक्नेछु । त्यसलाई म भाङ्ग्राले ढाक्नेछु।”
I will clothe the sky with darkness, and will make its covering as sackcloth.
4 परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले मलाई सिकाइएको व्यक्तिको जस्तो जिब्रो दिनुभएको छ, ताकि थकितलाई म सम्भाल्ने वचनहरू बोलूँ । उहाँले मलाई बिहान-बिहान जगाउनुहुन्छ । सिकाइएकाहरूका जस्ता कुरा सुन्न उहाँले मेरा कानलाई खोल्नुहुन्छ ।
The Lord [even] God gives me the tongue of instruction, to know when it is fit to speak a word: he has appointed for me early, he has given me an ear to hear:
5 परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले मेरो कान खोल्नुभएको छ, र म विद्रोही थिइनँ, न मैले पिट्युँ नै फर्काएँ ।
and the instruction of the Lord, even the Lord, opens mine ears, and I do not disobey, nor dispute.
6 मलाई पिट्नेहरूलाई मैले आफ्नो ढाड र मेरा दाह्री उखेल्नेहरूलाई आफ्ना गाला दिएँ । लाज र थुकाइका कामहरूबाट मैले आफ्नो मुख लुकाइन ।
I gave my back to scourges, and my cheeks to blows; and I turned not away my face from the shame of spitting:
7 किनकि परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले मलाई सहायता गर्नुहुनेछ । यसकारण म अपमानित भएको छैन । त्यसैले मैले आफ्नो मुहार चक्मक ढुङ्गाझैं बनाएको छु, किनकि म लाजमा पर्दिनँ भनी म जान्दछु ।
but the Lord God became my helper; therefore I was not ashamed, but I set my face as a solid rock; and I know that I shall never be ashamed,
8 मलाई निर्दोष ठहराउनुहुने नजिकै हुनुहुन्छ । कसले मेरो विरोध गर्छ र? हामी खडा हौं र एक-अर्कासँग भिडौं । मलाई दोष लगाउने को हो? त्यो मेरो नजिक आओस् ।
for he that has justified me draws near; who is he that pleads with me? let him stand up against me at the same time: yea, who is he that pleads with me? let him draw nigh to me.
9 हेर्, परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले मलाई सहायता गर्नुहुनेछ । मलाई कसले दोषी घोषणा गर्नेछ? हेर, ती सबै लुगाझैं फाटेर जानेछन् । किराले तिनलाई खानेछ ।
Behold, the Lord, the Lord, will help me; who will hurt me? behold, all ye shall wax old as a garment, and a moth shall devour you.
10 तिमीहरूमध्ये कसले परमप्रभुको भय मान्छ र? उहाँको सेवकको आवाज कसले पालन गर्छ र? घोर अन्धकारमा उज्यलोविना को हिंड्छ र? उसले परमप्रभुको नाउँमा भरोसा गर्नुपर्छ र आफ्नो परमेश्वरमा नै भर पर्नुपर्छ ।
Who is among you that fears the Lord? let him hearken to the voice of his servant: ye that walk in darkness, and have no light, trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon God.
11 हेर्, आगो बाल्ने र आफैलाई राँकोले सुसज्जित पार्ने तिमीहरू सबै जनाः आफ्नो आगोको उज्यालोमा र आफूले बालेका राँकोमा हिंड । तिमीहरूले मबाट यही कुरा पाएका छौः तिमीहरू पीडाको ठाउँमा ढल्किनेछौ ।
Behold, ye all kindle a fire, and feed a flame: walk in the light of your fire, and in the flame which ye have kindled. This has happened to you for my sake; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
