< 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 ।
This is what Yahweh says, “Where is the certificate of divorce with which I divorced your mother? To which of my creditors did I sell you? Look, you were sold because of your sins, and because of your rebellion, your mother was sent 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 but there was no one there? Why did I call but no one answered? Was my hand too short to ransom you? Was there no power in me to rescue you? Look, at my rebuke I dry up the sea; I make the rivers a desert; their fish die for lack of water and rot.
3 आकाशलाई म अन्धाकारले ढाक्नेछु । त्यसलाई म भाङ्ग्राले ढाक्नेछु।”
I clothe the sky with darkness; I cover it with 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 Yahweh has given me a tongue as one of those who are taught, so that I speak a sustaining word to the weary one; he wakes me morning by morning; he awakens my ear to hear like those who are taught.
5 परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले मेरो कान खोल्नुभएको छ, र म विद्रोही थिइनँ, न मैले पिट्युँ नै फर्काएँ ।
The Lord Yahweh has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, nor did I turn away backward.
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 those who beat me, and my cheeks to those who plucked out my beard; I did not hide my face from acts of 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 Yahweh will help me; therefore I am not disgraced; so I have made my face like flint, for I know that I will 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 ।
He who will justify me is close by. Who will oppose me? Let us stand and confront one another. Who is my accuser? 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 ।
See, the Lord Yahweh will help me. Who will declare me guilty? See, they will all wear out like a garment; the moth will 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 among you fears Yahweh? Who obeys the voice of his servant? Who walks in deep darkness without light? He should trust in the name of Yahweh and lean 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 ।
Look, all you who light fires, who equip yourselves with torches: walk in the light of your fire and in the flames that you have ignited. This is what you have received from me: You will lie down in a place of pain.
