यशैया 51
1 तिमीहरू जो धार्मिकताको पछि लाग्छौ, तिमीहरू जो परमप्रभुको खोजी गर्छौ, मेरो कुरा सुनः तिमीहरू निकालिएका चट्टानलाई र तिमीहरू काटिएका पत्थरलाई हेर ।
Listen to me, you that follow after righteousness, and seek the Lord: look to the solid rock, which you have hewn, and to the hole of the pit which you have dug.
2 तिमीहरूका पुर्खा अब्राहाम र तिमीहरूलाई जन्माउने सारालाई हेर । किनकि ऊ एक्लै हुँदा मैले उसलाई बोलाएँ । मैले उसलाई आशिष् दिएँ र उसलाई धैरै बनाएँ ।
Look to Abraam your father, and to Sarrha that bore you: for he was alone when I called him, and blessed him, and loved him, and multiplied him.
3 हो, परमप्रभुले सियोनलाई सान्त्वना दिनुहुनेछ । उहाँले त्यसका सबै उजाड ठाउँहरूलाई सान्त्वना दिनुहुनेछ । त्यसको उजाड-स्थानलाई अदनझैं, अनि यर्दन नदी नजिकैको त्यसका मरुभूमिका मैदानहरूलाई परमप्रभुको बगैंचाझैं उहाँले बनाउनुभयो । त्यसमा खुसी र आनन्द, धन्यवाद र गीतको सोर हुनेछ ।
And now I will comfort you, O Sion: and I have comforted all her desert places; and I will make her desert places as a garden, and her western places as the garden of the Lord; they shall find in her gladness and exultation, thanksgiving and the voice of praise.
4 “ए मेरा मानिसहरू, मेरो कुरामा ध्यान देओ । अनि ए मेरा मानिसहरू, मेरा कुरा सुन । किनकि म एउटा आदेश जारी गर्नेछु र म आफ्नो न्यायलाई जातिहरूका निम्ति ज्योति बनाउनेछु ।
Hear me, hear me, my people; and you kings, listen to me: for a law shall proceed from me, and my judgment [shall be] for a light of the nations.
5 मेरो धार्मिकता नजिकै छ । मेरो उद्धार बाहिर जानेछ र मेरो बाहुलीले जातिहरूको न्याय गर्नेछ । समुद्र किनारहरूले मलाई पर्खिनेछन् । मेरो बाहुलीका निम्ति तिनीहरू उत्सुकतासाथ आशा गर्नेछन् ।
My righteousness speedily draws near, and my salvation shall go forth as light, and on mine arm shall the Gentiles trust: the isles shall wait for me, and on mine arm shall they trust.
6 आफ्ना आँखा आकाशतिर उचाल र तल पृथ्वीमुनि हेर, किनकि आकाश धूँवाझैं हराएर जानेछ, पृथ्वी लुगाझैं फाटेर जानेछ र त्यसका बासिन्दाहरू झिंगाझैं मर्नेछन् । तर मेरो उद्धार सदासर्वदा निरन्तर रहनेछ र मेरो धार्मिकताले कदापि काम गर्न छोड्नेछैन ।
Lift up your eyes to the sky, and look on the earth beneath: for the sky was darkened like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and the inhabitants shall die in like manner: but my righteousness shall not fail.
7 ठिक कुरा जान्ने, आफ्नो हृदयमा मेरो व्यवस्था राख्ने मानिसहरू, मेरो कुरा सुनः मानिसहरूका अपमानदेखि नडराओ, न तिनीहरूका दुराचारदेखि निराश होओ ।
Hear me, you that know judgment, the people in whose heart is my law: fear not the reproach of men, and be not overcome by their contempt.
8 किन लुगा खाएझैं कीराले तिनीहरूलाई खानेछ र ऊन खाएझैं औंसाले तिनीहरूलाई खानेछ । तर मेरो धआर्मिकता सदासर्वदा रहनेछ र मेरो उद्धार सबै पुस्ताहरूमा रहनेछ ।”
For as a garment will be devoured by time, and as wool will be devoured by a moth, [so shall they be consumed]; but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation for all generations.
9 ए परमप्रभुका बाहुली हो, जाग, जाग, आफूमा सामर्थ्य धारण गर । पुराना दिनहरू र प्राचीन समयका पुस्ताहरूमा झैं जगा होओ । राहाबलाई कुल्चने तपाईं नै हुनुहुन्न र, जसले राक्षसलाई छेड्यो?
Awake, awake, O Jerusalem, and put on the strength of your arm; awake as in the early time, as the ancient generation.
10 के तपाईंले समुद्रलाई अर्थात् गहिरो पानीलाई सुकाउनु भएन, र समुद्रको गहिराइलाई उद्धार गरिएकाहरूको निम्ति बाटो बनाउनु भएन र?
Are you not it that dried the sea, the water, [even] the abundance of the deep; that made the depths of the sea a way of passage for the delivered and redeemed?
11 परमप्रभुले मोल तिरेर छुटाउनुभएकाहरू फर्किनेछन् र आफ्ना शिरहरूमा सदाको निम्ति आनन्द र खुसीको सोर लिएर सियोनमा आउनेछन् । अनि खुसी र आनन्दले तिनीहरूलाई उछिन्नेछ, र कष्ट र शोक भाग्नेछन् ।
for by [the help of] the Lord they shall return, and come to Sion with joy and everlasting exultation, for praise and joy shall come upon their head: pain, and grief, and groaning, have fled away.
12 “तिमीहरूलाई सान्त्वना दिने म नै हुँ । तिमीहरू मानिसहरूसित किन डराउँछौ, मानिसहरूका छोराहरू, जो मर्ने छन्, जसलाई घाँसजस्तै बनाइने छन्?
I, [even] I, am he that comforts you: consider who you are, that you were afraid of mortal man, and of the son of man, who are withered as grass.
13 परमप्रभु आफ्ना सृष्टिकर्तालाई तिमीहरूले किन बिर्सेका छौ, जसले आकाशलाई फिंजाउनुभयो र पृथ्वीका जगहरू बसाल्नुभयो? अत्याचारीले तिमीहरूको नाश गर्ने निधो गर्दा, त्यसको कडा क्रोधको त्रासमा निरन्तर परेका छौ । अत्यचारीको क्रोध कहाँ छ?
And you have forgotten God who made you, who made the sky and founded the earth; and you were continually afraid because of the wrath of him that afflicted you: for [whereas] he counselled to take you away, yet now where is the wrath of him that afflicted you?
14 जो झुकेका छ, परमप्रभुले मुक्त गर्न हतार गर्नुहुनेछ । ऊ मर्ने र तल खाडलमा जानेछैन, न रोटीको कमी हुनेछ ।
For in your deliverance he shall not halt, nor wait;
15 किनकि म परमप्रभु तेरा परमेश्वर हुँ, जसले समुद्रलाई घोल्नुहुन्छ ताकि त्यसको छालहरू गर्जून्— उहाँको नाउँ सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु हो ।
for I am your God, that troubles the sea, and causes the waves thereof to roar: the Lord of hosts is my name.
16 मैले आफ्नो वचन तेरो मुखमा हालेको छु, र आफ्नो हातको छायाले मैले तँलाई ढाकेको छु, ताकि मैले आकाशलाई राख्न सकुँ, पृथ्वीको जगहरू बसाल्न सकुँ र सियोनलाई, 'तिमीहरू मेरा मानिसहरू हौ' भन्न सकुँ ।
I will put my words into your mouth, and I will shelter you under the shadow of mine hand, with which I fixed the sky, and founded the earth: and [the Lord] shall say to Sion, You are my people.
17 ए यरूशलेम जाग्, जाग्, खडा हो, तिमीहरू जसले परमप्रभुको हातको क्रोधको कचौरा पिएर मातेका छौ । तिमीहरू जसले कचौराबाट पिएका छौ र धरमराउने कचौराबाट रित्तिने गरी पिएका छौ ।
Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, that have drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his fury: for you have drunk out and drained the cup of calamity, the cup of wrath:
18 त्यसलाई डोर्याउन त्यसले जन्माएका सबै छोराहरूमध्ये कोही पनि छैनन् । हात समातेर त्यसलाई डोर्याउनलाई त्यसले हुर्काएको सबै छोरामध्ये कोही पनि छैनन् ।
and there was none to comfort you of all the children whom you bore; and there was none to take hold of your hand, not even of all the children whom you has reared.
19 तँमाथि वियोग र विनाश, अनिकाल र तरवार— यी दुई कष्टहरू आइपरेका छन्— तँसँग कसले शोक गर्नेछ? तँलाई कसले सान्त्वना दिनेछ?
Therefore these things are against you; who shall sympathize with you in your grief? downfall, and destruction, famine, and sword: who shall comfort you?
20 तेरा छोराहरू मूर्छ परेका छन् । जालमा परेको चित्तलझैं तिनीहरू हरेक गल्लीको कुनाहरूमा ढल्नेछन् । परमप्रभुको क्रोध अर्थात् तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको हप्कीले तिनीहरू भरिएका छन् ।
Your sons are the perplexed ones, that sleep at the top of every street as a half-boiled beet; they that are full of the anger of the Lord, caused to faint by the Lord God.
21 तर अब यो कुरा सुन्, ए अत्यचारमा परेकाहरू र मत्तिएकाहरू, तर दाखमद्यले मातिएकाहरू होइनन्:
Therefore hear, you afflicted one, and drunken, [but] not with wine;
22 परमप्रभु तेरा परमेश्वर, आफ्ना मानिसहरूका निम्ति बहस गर्नुहुने परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “हेर्, मैले तेरो हातबाट धरमराउने कचौरा— मेरो क्रोधको कचौरा— लिएको छु, ताकि तैंले फेरि त्यो पिउनेछैनस् ।
thus says the Lord God that judges his people, Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of calamity, the cup of my wrath; and you shall not drink it any more.
23 तँलाई सताउनेहरूका हातमा त्यो म राख्नेछु, जसले तँलाई भनेका छन्, 'भुइमा सुत्, ताकि तँमाथि हामी हिंड्नछौं ।' तिनीहरूलाई हिंड्न तैंले आफ्नो ढाडलाई जमिन र बाटोझैं बनाइस् ।”
And I will give it into the hands of them that injured you, and them that afflicted you; who said to your soul, Bow down, that we may pass over: and you did level your body with the ground to them passing by without.
