यशैया 54

1 “ए बाँझी स्‍त्री, जसले जन्म दिएकी छैन, गीत गा । आनन्दको गीत गा, उच्‍च सोरमा करा, तँ जो कहिल्यै प्रसव वेदनामा परेकी छैन । किनकि बाँझी स्‍त्रीको सन्तानहरू विवाहित स्‍त्रीको भन्दा धेरै छन्,” परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।

Sing, O barren, you that did not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you that did not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, says the LORD.

2 “उदार भएर, आफ्‍नो पाललाई अझ ठुलो बना र आफ्‍नो पालका पर्दाहरू तन्‍का । आफ्‍ना डोरीहरू लामो बना र आफ्‍ना किलाहरू बलियो पार् ।

Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of your habitations: spare not, lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes;

3 किनकि तँ दाहिनेतिर र देब्रेतिर फैलिनेछस्, तेरा सन्तानहरूले जातिहरूलाई जित्‍नेछन् र उजाड सहरहरूमा पुनः बसोवास गर्नेछन् ।

For you shall break forth on the right hand and on the left; and your seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

4 नडरा, किनकि तँ लज्‍जित हुनेछैनस्, न त निराश हुनेछस्, किनकि तेरो अपमान गरिेनेछैन । आफ्‍नो जवानीको लाजलाई र आफ्‍नो त्‍यागिएको अवस्‍थाको अपमानलाई तैंले बिर्सनेछस् ।

Fear not; for you shall not be ashamed: neither be you confounded; for you shall not be put to shame: for you shall forget the shame of your youth, and shall not remember the reproach of your widowhood any more.

5 किनभने तँलाई बनाउनुहुने तेरो स्‍वामी हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँको नाउँ सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु हो । इस्रएलको परमपवित्र तेरो उद्धारक हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँलाई सारा पृथ्वीको परमेश्‍वर भनिन्छ ।

For your Maker is your husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and your Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

6 किनकि त्यागिएकी र आत्मामा दुःखी पत्‍नीको रूपमा जवानीमा विवाह भएकी र तिरस्‍कृत स्‍त्रीलाई झैं परमप्रभुले तँलाई फिर्ता बोलाउनुभएको छ,” तेरो परमेश्‍वर भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।

For the LORD has called you as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when you were refused, says your God.

7 “छोटो समयको निम्ति मैले तँलाई त्यागें, तर ठुलो दयासाथ म तँलाई भेला पार्नेछु ।

For a small moment have I forsaken you; but with great mercies will I gather you.

8 रिसको झोंकमा मैले क्षणिक रूपमा आफ्‍नो मुख तँबाट लुकाएँ । तर अनन्त करारको विश्‍वस्‍ततामा म तँमाथि दया गर्नेछु— तँलाई छुट्टाउनुहुने परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।

In a little wrath I hid my face from you for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on you, says the LORD your Redeemer.

9 किनकि यो मेरो निम्ति नोआको समयको पानीजस्तै होः जसरी नोआको पानीले पृथ्वीलाई फेरि कहिल्यै डुबाउनेछैन भनी मैले शपथ खाएँ, त्यसरी नै तँसँग कहिल्यै रिसाउँदिनँ वा तँलाई हप्‍काउँदिन भनी मैले शपथ खाएको छु ।

For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.

10 पर्वतहरू खसे र पहाडहरू थरथर भए पनि, मेरो अटल प्रेम तँबाट हट्‍नेछैन, न त मेरो शान्तिको करारको हल्‍लिनेछ— तँलाई दया गर्नुहुने परमप्रभु भन्‍नहुन्छ ।

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, says the LORD that has mercy on you.

11 ए कष्‍टमा परेका, आँधी-बेहरीले बत्ताइएका र सान्त्वना नपाएकाहरू हो, हेर, तेरो बाटोमा म फिरोजा पत्‍थरले जोड्नेछु र तेरो जगहरू नीरले बसाल्‍नेछु ।

O you afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay your stones with fair colours, and lay your foundations with sapphires.

12 म तेरो गजुरहरू रूबीले र तेरा ढोकाहरू चम्कने पत्थरहरूले र तेरो बाहिरी पर्खाल सुन्दर ढुङ्गाहरूले बनाउनेछु ।

And I will make your windows of agates, and your gates of carbuncles, and all your borders of pleasant stones.

13 अनि परमप्रभुद्वारा नै तेरा सबै छोराछोरीलाई सिकाइनेछ । अनि तेरा छोराछोरीका शान्ति महान् हुनेछ ।

And all your children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of your children.

14 धर्मिकतामा तँलाई स्थापित गरिनेछ, र अत्याचारबाट तँ टाढा हुनेछस्, किनकि तँ डराउने छैनस् । अनि त्रास तेरो नजिक आउनेछैन ।

In righteousness shall you be established: you shall be far from oppression; for you shall not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near you.

15 हेर्, कसैले कष्‍ट ल्यायो भने, त्‍यो मबाट हुनेछैन । तँमाथि कष्‍ट ल्याउने जोसुकैले पराजय बेहोर्नेछ ।

Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against you shall fall for your sake.

16 हेर्, मैले कारीगरलाई सृष्‍टि गरेको छु, जसले भुङ्‍ग्रो फुक्‍छ र आफ्‍नो कामको रूपमा हतियार बनाउँछ, अनि नष्‍ट गर्नलाई मैले नष्‍ट गर्नेको सृष्‍टि गरेको छु ।

Behold, I have created the smith that blows the coals in the fire, and that brings forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the destroyer to destroy.

17 तेरो विरुद्धमा बनाइएका कुनै पनि हतियार सफल हुनेछैनन् । अनि तँलाई दोष लगाउने हरेकलाई तैंले दोषी ठहराउनेछस् । परमप्रभुका सेवकहरूका पैतृकसम्पत्ति र तिनीहरू निर्दोष छन् भनेर मैले दिने प्रमाण यही हो— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।”

No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, says the LORD.
