< 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 says the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorce, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have you sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put 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, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinks, because there is no water, and dies for thirst.
3 आकाशलाई म अन्धाकारले ढाक्नेछु । त्यसलाई म भाङ्ग्राले ढाक्नेछु।”
I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
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 GOD has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to hear as the learned.
5 परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले मेरो कान खोल्नुभएको छ, र म विद्रोही थिइनँ, न मैले पिट्युँ नै फर्काएँ ।
The Lord GOD has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
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 the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and 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 ।
For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not 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 ।
He is near that justifies me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is my adversary? let him come near 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 GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? see, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
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, that obeys the voice of his servant, that walks in darkness, and has no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay on his 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, all you that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that you have kindled. This shall you have of my hand; you shall lie down in sorrow.
