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, barren, you who didn’t give birth; break out into singing, and cry aloud, you who did not travail with child: for the deserted wife will have more children than the children of the married wife,” says Adonai.
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 out the curtains of your habitations; don’t spare: 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 will spread out on the right hand and on the left; and your offspring will possess the nations, and settle in desolate cities.
4 नडरा, किनकि तँ लज्जित हुनेछैनस्, न त निराश हुनेछस्, किनकि तेरो अपमान गरिेनेछैन । आफ्नो जवानीको लाजलाई र आफ्नो त्यागिएको अवस्थाको अपमानलाई तैंले बिर्सनेछस् ।
“Don’t be afraid; for you will not be ashamed. Don’t be confounded; for you will not be disappointed. For you will forget the shame of your youth; and the reproach of your widowhood you shall remember no 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; Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] is his name. The haKadosh Isra'el [the Holy One of God prevails] is your Redeemer. He will be called the God of the whole earth.
6 किनकि त्यागिएकी र आत्मामा दुःखी पत्नीको रूपमा जवानीमा विवाह भएकी र तिरस्कृत स्त्रीलाई झैं परमप्रभुले तँलाई फिर्ता बोलाउनुभएको छ,” तेरो परमेश्वर भन्नुहुन्छ ।
For Adonai has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off,” 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 racham ·merciful love· 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 overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment; but with everlasting cheshed ·loving-kindness· I will have racham ·merciful love· on you,” says Adonai 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 like the waters of Noah [Rest] to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah [Rest] will no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I will 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 may depart, and the hills be removed; but my cheshed ·loving-kindness· will not depart from you, and my covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· of peace will not be removed,” says Adonai who 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 ।
“You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in beautiful colors, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
12 म तेरो गजुरहरू रूबीले र तेरा ढोकाहरू चम्कने पत्थरहरूले र तेरो बाहिरी पर्खाल सुन्दर ढुङ्गाहरूले बनाउनेछु ।
I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.
13 अनि परमप्रभुद्वारा नै तेरा सबै छोराछोरीलाई सिकाइनेछ । अनि तेरा छोराछोरीका शान्ति महान् हुनेछ ।
All your children will be taught by Adonai; and your children’s peace will be great.
14 धर्मिकतामा तँलाई स्थापित गरिनेछ, र अत्याचारबाट तँ टाढा हुनेछस्, किनकि तँ डराउने छैनस् । अनि त्रास तेरो नजिक आउनेछैन ।
In righteousness you will be established. You will be far from oppression, for you will not be afraid; and far 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 may gather together, but not by me. Whoever gathers together against you will fall because of you.
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 blacksmith who fans the coals into flame, and forges a weapon 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 will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Adonai’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says Adonai.
