< 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 ।
Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion, Put on the garments of thy beauty, Jerusalem — the Holy City; For enter no more into thee again, Do the uncircumcised and unclean.
2 आफैबाट धूलो टक्टक्‍या । ए यरूशलेम उठ् र बस् । ए सियोनकी कैदी छोरी, आफ्‍नो घाँटीबाट साङ्ला निकाल् ।
Shake thyself from dust, arise, sit, O Jerusalem, Bands of thy neck have loosed themselves, O captive, daughter of Zion.
3 किनकि परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “तिमीहरू सित्तैंमा बेचिएका थियौ, अनि पैसाविना नै तिमीहरूको छुटकारा हुनेछ ।”
For thus said Jehovah: 'For nought ye have been sold, And not by money are ye redeemed.'
4 किनकि परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “सुरुमा मेरा मानिसहरू अस्थायी रूपमा बसोवास गर्न मिश्रदेशमा गए । अनि अश्शूरले तिनीहरूलाई कुनै ठिक कारणविना नै अत्याचार गर्‍यो ।
For thus said the Lord Jehovah: 'To Egypt My people went down at first to sojourn there, And Asshur — for nought he hath oppressed it.
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 ।
And now, what — to Me here, An affirmation of Jehovah, That taken is My people for nought? Its rulers cause howling, — an affirmation of Jehovah, And continually all the day My name is despised.
6 यसकारण मेरा मानिसहरूले मेरो नाउँ जान्‍नेछन् । “हो, त्‍यो म नै हुँ” भन्‍ने म नै हुँ भनी तिनीहरूले त्यस दिन जान्‍नेछन् ।
Therefore doth My people know My name, Therefore, in that day, Surely I [am] He who is speaking, behold 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!” ।
How comely on the mountains, Have been the feet of one proclaiming tidings, Sounding peace, proclaiming good tidings, Sounding salvation, Saying to Zion, 'Reigned hath thy God.'
8 सुन्, तिमीहरूका रक्षकहरूले आफ्‍ना सोर उच्‍च पार्छन्, तिनीहरू आनन्दले कराउँछन्, किनकि आफ्‍ना हरेक आँखाले तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु सयोनमा फर्कनुभएको देख्‍नेछन् ।
The voice of thy watchmen! They have lifted up the voice, together they cry aloud, Because eye to eye they see, in Jehovah's turning back [to] Zion.
9 ए यरूशलेमको भग्‍नावशेषहरू, आनन्दको गीत सँगसँगै गाओ । किनकि परमप्रभुले आफ्‍ना मानिसहरूलाई सान्त्वना दिनुभएको छ । उहाँले यरूशलेमको उद्धार गर्नुभएको छ ।
Break forth, sing together, O wastes of Jerusalem, For Jehovah hath comforted His people, He hath redeemed Jerusalem.
10 परमप्रभुले आफ्नो पवित्र बाहुली सबै जातिहरूको दृष्‍टिमा प्रकट गर्नुभएको छ । सारा पृथ्वीले हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरको उद्धार देख्‍नेछ ।
Jehovah hath made bare His holy arm Before the eyes of all the nations, And seen have all the ends of the earth, The salvation of our God.
11 छोड, छोड, त्यहाँबाट बाहिर जाओ । अशुद्ध कुनै कुरा नछोओ । त्यसको माझबाट जाओ । आफैलाई शुद्ध बनाओ, तिमीहरू जसले परमप्रभुको पात्रलाई बोक्‍छौ ।
Turn aside, turn aside, go out thence, The unclean touch not, go out from her midst, Be ye pure, who are bearing the weapons of Jehovah.
12 किनकि तिमीहरू हतारमा बाहिर जानेछैनौ, न तिमीहरूले त्रासमा छोड्नेछौ । किनकि परमप्रभु तिमीहरूको अगि-अगि जानुहुनेछ । अनि इस्राएलको परमेश्‍वर नै तिमीहरू पछाडिको रक्षक हुनुहुनेछ ।
For not in haste do ye go out, Yea, with flight ye go not on, For going before you [is] Jehovah, And gathering you [is] the God of Israel!
13 हेर, मेरो सेवकले बुद्धिमान् भएर काम गर्नेछ । ऊ उच्‍च हुनेछ र माथि उचालिनेछ र उसलाई उचालिनेछ ।
Lo, My servant doth act wisely, He is high, and hath been lifted up, And hath been very high.
14 जसरी तँसँग धेरै जना त्रसित भएका थिए— उसको अनुहार कुनै मानिसको भन्दा धेरै कुरूप बनाइएको थियो, र उसको स्वरूप कुनै मानिसको जस्तो देखिएन ।
As astonished at thee have been many, (So marred by man his appearance, And his form by sons of men.)
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 ।
So doth he sprinkle many nations. Concerning him kings shut their mouth, For that which was not recounted to them they have seen, And that which they had not heard they have understood!
