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 Yahweh—Where then is the scroll of your mother’s divorce, whom I have put away? Or, which of my creditors, is it to whom I have sold you? Lo! for your iniquities, have ye been sold, And for your transgressions, hath your mother been 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 ।
Wherefore, When I came in, was there no one? When I called, was there none to answer? Is mine own hand, really shortened, that it cannot redeem? Or is there not, in me, strength to deliver? Lo! by my rebuke, I dry up the sea I make rivers a desert, Their fish Stinketh, for want of water, Yea dieth, for thirst:
3 आकाशलाई म अन्धाकारले ढाक्नेछु । त्यसलाई म भाङ्ग्राले ढाक्नेछु।”
I clothe the heavens with gloom, And, of sackcloth, make I 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 ।
My Lord Yahweh, hath given unto me the tongue of the instructed, That I should know how to succour the fainting, with discourse, —He kept wakening—morning by morning. He kept wakening mine ear, to hearken as do the instructed;
5 परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले मेरो कान खोल्नुभएको छ, र म विद्रोही थिइनँ, न मैले पिट्युँ नै फर्काएँ ।
My Lord, Yahweh, opened mine ear, And, I, was not rebellious, —Away, turned I not:
6 मलाई पिट्नेहरूलाई मैले आफ्नो ढाड र मेरा दाह्री उखेल्नेहरूलाई आफ्ना गाला दिएँ । लाज र थुकाइका कामहरूबाट मैले आफ्नो मुख लुकाइन ।
My back, gave I to smiters, and My cheeks, to them who pulled out the beard, —My face, hid I not from insult 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 ।
Because, My Lord, Yahweh, would help me, Therefore was I not deterred by insult, —Therefore did I set my face like flint, And I knew that I should not be put to shame.
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 ।
At hand, is one who can justify me. Who will contend with me? let, us stand forth together, —Who can accuse me? let him draw near to me!
9 हेर्, परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले मलाई सहायता गर्नुहुनेछ । मलाई कसले दोषी घोषणा गर्नेछ? हेर, ती सबै लुगाझैं फाटेर जानेछन् । किराले तिनलाई खानेछ ।
Lo! My Lord, Yahweh, will help me, Who is he that shall prove me lawless? Lo! they all, as a garment, shall fall to pieces, the moth shall consume them.
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 among you, revereth Yahweh, Hearkening unto the voice of his Servant, —That hath walked in dark places And hath had no gleam of light? Let him trust in the name of Yahweh, And lean upon 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 ।
Lo! all ye that kindle a fire, That gird yourselves with fiery darts, —Walk ye in the blaze of your own fire. And in the fiery darts ye have kindled, At my hand, hath this befallen you, In sorrow, shall ye lie down.
