< यशैया 53 >

1 हामीबाट तिनीहरूले सुनेका कुरा कसले विश्‍वास गरेको छ, र कसलाई परमप्रभुको बाहुली प्रकट गरिएको छ?
Has anyone believed our news? Who has the Lord shown his power to?
2 किनकि कलिलो बिरूवाजस्तै र सुख्‍खा जमिनबाट उम्रेको टुसाजस्तै ऊ परमप्रभुको सामु बढ्यो । उसमा हेर्नलायक आकर्षण वा ऐश्‍वर्य थिएन । हामीले उसलाई हेर्दा, हामीलाई आकर्षण गर्ने कुनै सुन्दरता थिएन ।
Like a young shoot he grew up before him, like a root growing up from dry ground. He had no beauty or glory to make us look at him; nothing about his appearance attracted us to him.
3 मानिसहरूद्वारा उसलाई घृणा र तिरस्‍कार गरियो । दुखको मानिस र कष्‍टसँग परिचित । त्‍यस्‍तो जसबाट मानिसहरूले आफ्‍ना अनुहार लुकाउँछन्, उसलाई घृणा गरियो । अनि हामीले उसलाई तुच्‍छ ठान्यौं ।
People despised him and rejected him. He was a man who really suffered and who experienced the deepest pain. We treated him like someone you turn away from in disgust—we despised him and had no respect for him.
4 तर निश्‍चय नै उसले हाम्रा रोगहरू बोकेको र हाम्रा कष्‍टहरू उठाएको छ । तापनि हामीले उसलाई परमेश्‍वरद्वारा दण्ड दिइएको, परमेश्‍वरद्वारा हिर्काइएको र कष्‍टमा परेको ठान्यौं ।
However, he was the one who carried our weaknesses, he was loaded down with our pain—but we assumed he was being hit, beaten, and humiliated by God.
5 तर हाम्रा विद्रोहपूर्ण कामहरूका कारणले उसलाई घोचिएको थियो । हाम्रा पापहरूका कारणले उसलाई पेलिएको थियो । हाम्रो शान्तिको निम्ति उसमाथि दण्ड पर्‍यो र उसका घाउहरूले हामी निको भएका छौं ।
But he was wounded because of our rebellious acts, he was crushed because of our guilt. He experienced the discipline that brings us peace, and his wounds heal us.
6 हामी सबै बह्रालिएका भेडाहरूजस्ता छौं । हामी प्रत्‍येक आ-आफ्नै मार्गतिर लागेका छौं र परमप्रभुले हामी सबैको अधर्म उसमाथि राख्‍नुभएको छ ।
All of us have wandered off, just like sheep. Each of us has gone our own way, and the Lord allowed all our guilt to fall on him.
7 उसलाई अत्याचार गरियो । तापनि उसले आफूलाई होच्याउँदा, उसले आफ्नो मुख खोलेन । जसरी मार्नलाई लगिएको थुमा र ऊन कत्रनेहरूका सामु भेडा चुपचाप बस्‍छ, त्‍यसरी उसले आफ्नो मुख खोलेन ।
He was persecuted and mistreated, but he didn't say anything. He was led like a lamb to be killed, and in the same way that a sheep about to be sheared is silent, he didn't say a word.
8 जबर्जस्ती र इन्साफद्वारा उसलाई दोषी ठहर गरियो । त्यस पुस्ताबाट कसले उसको बारेमा विचार गर्‍यो र? तर उसलाई जीविहरूको देशबाट अलग गरियो । मेरा मानिसहरूले अपराधहरू गरेका कारणले उसलाई दण्‍ड दिइयो ।
Through force and a death sentence he was killed—who cared what happened to him? He was executed, removed from the land of the living; he was killed because of my people's wickedness.
9 उसले कुनै हिंसा गरेका थिएन, न त उसको मुखमा कुनै छल नै थियो, तापनि अपराधीहरूसँगै तिनीहरूले उसको चिहान बनाए । उसको मृत्युमा एक जना धनी मानिस थियो ।
They buried him as if he was someone evil, giving him a grave among the rich, even though he hadn't done anything wrong, and he hadn't told any lies.
10 तापनि उसलाई धुलो पार्ने र उसलाई बिरामी पार्ने परमप्रभुकै इच्छा थियो । जब उसले आफ्नो जीवनलाई पापको निम्ति बलिदान बनाउँछन्, उसले आफ्ना सन्तानहरू देख्‍नेछ, उसले आफ्‍नो समय बढाउनेछ र उसैद्वारा परमप्रभुको उद्देश्य पुरा हुनेछ ।
However, it was the Lord's will for him to be crushed and to suffer, for when he gives his life as a guilt offering he will see his descendants, he will have a long life, and what the Lord wants will be achieved through him.
11 उसको जीवनको कष्‍टपछि उसले ज्योति देख्‍नेछ र आफ्‍नो ज्ञानद्वारा सन्तुष्‍ट हुनेछ । मेरो धर्मिक सेवकले धेरै जनालाई निर्दोष ठहराउनेछ । उसले तिनीहरूको अधर्म बोक्‍नेछ ।
After his suffering, he will see the results and be satisfied. Through his knowledge my servant who does what is right will set many right, and he will bear their sins.
12 यसकारण म भीडहरूका माझमा उसको भाग उसैलाई दिनेछु, उसले धेरै जनासित लूटको माल बाँड्नेछ, किनभने उसले आफूलाई मृत्युमा हाल्यो र अपराधीहरूसँगै गनियो । उसले धेरै जनाको पाप बोक्यो र अपराधीहरूका निम्ति मध्‍यस्‍थ-बिन्ती गर्‍यो ।
That's why I'm going to grant him a place among the great, and give him the prize of the victorious, because he poured out his life in death and was counted as one of the rebels. He took on himself the sins of many and asked forgiveness for the rebels.
