यशैया 52
1 ए सियोन, जाग्, जाग्, आफ्नो शक्ति धारण गर् । ए यरूशलेम, पवित्र सहर, आफ्नो सुन्दर पोशाक लगा । किनकि खतना नगरिएका वा अशुद्धचाहिं फेरि कहिल्यै तँभित्र पस्नेछैन ।
Wake up, wake up, Zion! Be strong! Put on your best clothes, Jerusalem, the holy city. Heathen foreigners won't ever enter you again.
2 आफैबाट धूलो टक्टक्या । ए यरूशलेम उठ् र बस् । ए सियोनकी कैदी छोरी, आफ्नो घाँटीबाट साङ्ला निकाल् ।
Shake yourself free from the dust and get up. Sit on your throne, Jerusalem. Throw off the chains around your neck, captive daughter of Zion.
3 किनकि परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “तिमीहरू सित्तैंमा बेचिएका थियौ, अनि पैसाविना नै तिमीहरूको छुटकारा हुनेछ ।”
This is what the Lord says: You were sold for nothing, and you will be bought back without money.
4 किनकि परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “सुरुमा मेरा मानिसहरू अस्थायी रूपमा बसोवास गर्न मिश्रदेशमा गए । अनि अश्शूरले तिनीहरूलाई कुनै ठिक कारणविना नै अत्याचार गर्यो ।
This is what the Lord God says: First of all, my people went to live in Egypt, then Assyria conquered them for no reason.
5 यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, मेरा मानिसहरू सित्तैंमा लगिएको देख्दा, अब मसँग यहाँ के छ र? यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, तिनीहरूमाथि शासन गर्नेहरूले तिनीहरूलाई खिसी गर्छन् र दिनभरि मेरो नाउँको निरन्तर निन्दा हुन्छ ।
What do have I to do now? asks the Lord. My people have been taken into captivity for no reason. Those who rule them mock them, and I'm treated with contempt that whole time, says the Lord.
6 यसकारण मेरा मानिसहरूले मेरो नाउँ जान्नेछन् । “हो, त्यो म नै हुँ” भन्ने म नै हुँ भनी तिनीहरूले त्यस दिन जान्नेछन् ।
So I'm going to make sure my people know me; at that time they will know that I am the one who means what he says. Yes, it's me!
7 असल समाचार ल्याउने दूतहरूका गोडाहरू पहडाहरूमाथि कति सुन्दर, जसले शन्तिको घोषणा गर्छन्, जसले असल समाचार ल्याउँछन्, जसले उद्धारको घोषणा गर्छन्, जसले सियोनलाई भन्छन्, “तेरो परमेश्वरले राज्य गर्नुहुन्छ!” ।
What a wonderful sight in the mountains is the one running to bring good news, announcing peace and good news, announcing salvation, telling Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8 सुन्, तिमीहरूका रक्षकहरूले आफ्ना सोर उच्च पार्छन्, तिनीहरू आनन्दले कराउँछन्, किनकि आफ्ना हरेक आँखाले तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु सयोनमा फर्कनुभएको देख्नेछन् ।
The city watchmen shout loudly and sing for joy together; they all see the Lord returning to Jerusalem.
9 ए यरूशलेमको भग्नावशेषहरू, आनन्दको गीत सँगसँगै गाओ । किनकि परमप्रभुले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई सान्त्वना दिनुभएको छ । उहाँले यरूशलेमको उद्धार गर्नुभएको छ ।
Let Jerusalem's ruins all sing for joy for the Lord has come to care for his people; he has set Jerusalem free.
10 परमप्रभुले आफ्नो पवित्र बाहुली सबै जातिहरूको दृष्टिमा प्रकट गर्नुभएको छ । सारा पृथ्वीले हाम्रा परमेश्वरको उद्धार देख्नेछ ।
The Lord has demonstrated his holy power to all the nations; the whole world will see our God's salvation.
11 छोड, छोड, त्यहाँबाट बाहिर जाओ । अशुद्ध कुनै कुरा नछोओ । त्यसको माझबाट जाओ । आफैलाई शुद्ध बनाओ, तिमीहरू जसले परमप्रभुको पात्रलाई बोक्छौ ।
Leave, leave, get out of there! Don't bring anything pagan; come out and leave it all behind. Those of you who carry the Lord's sacred articles are to purify yourselves.
12 किनकि तिमीहरू हतारमा बाहिर जानेछैनौ, न तिमीहरूले त्रासमा छोड्नेछौ । किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूको अगि-अगि जानुहुनेछ । अनि इस्राएलको परमेश्वर नै तिमीहरू पछाडिको रक्षक हुनुहुनेछ ।
But don't leave in a hurry, don't be in a rush as if you're running away, for the Lord will go ahead of you, and he will also protect those at the back.
13 हेर, मेरो सेवकले बुद्धिमान् भएर काम गर्नेछ । ऊ उच्च हुनेछ र माथि उचालिनेछ र उसलाई उचालिनेछ ।
Look: my servant will act wisely; he will be praised highly, he will be elevated in position, and seen as someone people look up to.
14 जसरी तँसँग धेरै जना त्रसित भएका थिए— उसको अनुहार कुनै मानिसको भन्दा धेरै कुरूप बनाइएको थियो, र उसको स्वरूप कुनै मानिसको जस्तो देखिएन ।
But many were horrified by him, so disfigured in appearance, no longer looking like a man, so unlike anyone human.
15 तापनि मेरो सेवकले धेरै जातिहरूलाई छर्कनेछ र उसको कारणले राजाहरूले आफ्ना मुख बन्द गर्नेछन् । किनकि तिनीहरूलाई नभनिएको कुरा तिनीहरूले देख्नेछन् र तिनीहरू नसुनेका कुरा तिनीहरूले बुझ्नेछन् ।
He will surprise many nations, and kings will keep quiet because of him—for they'll see what they haven't been told, and they'll understand what they hadn't heard.
