< यशैया 55 >
1 “आओ, हरेक व्यक्ति जो तिर्खाएको छौ आओ, पानीमा आओ, अनि तिमीहरू जोसँग पैसा छैन, आओ, किन र खाओ! आओ, पैसाविना र मूल्यविना दाखमद्य र दूध किन ।
“All you [people who are in exile], listen to me! [It is as though] [MET] you are thirsty, so come and get water from me! [It is as though] you have no money, but you can come and get things from me [that are like] wine and milk! You can get [what you need from me], [and] you will not need to give me any money for them!
2 जे रोटी होइन त्यसको लागि किन चाँदी तौलन्छौ र जे कुराले सन्तुष्टि दिंदैन त्यसको निम्ति तिमिहरू किन परिश्रम गर्छौ? मेरो कुरा ध्यानसित सुन र जे असल छ सो खाओ, अनि मोटोपनमा आफूलाई खुसी पार ।
[What you really need is to have a close relationship with me], so (why do you spend money to buy things that do not supply what you really need?/you should not spend money to buy things that do not supply what you really need.) [RHQ] (Why do you work hard to get money to buy things that do not (satisfy your [inner beings]/cause you to be happy)?) [RHQ] Pay attention to what I say and acquire what is really good [MET]! If you do that, then you will truly be happy [MET].
3 आफ्ना कान थाप र मकहाँ आओ । सुन, ताकि तिमीहरू बाँच्न सक्छौ । मैले दाऊदलाई प्रतिज्ञा गरेको मेरो भरपर्दो र विश्वायोग्य प्रेमले— तिमीहरूसँग म अनन्त करार गर्नेछु ।
Listen to me and come to me; pay attention to me, and if you do that, you will have new life in your souls. I will make an agreement with you that will last forever to faithfully love you like I loved [King] David.
4 हेर, मैले उसलाई जातिहरूका निम्ति गवाहीको रूपमा, मानिसहरूका निम्ति अगुवा र कमाण्डरको रूपमा राखेको छु ।
By what he did, I showed [my power to many] people-groups; I caused him to be a leader and commander [DOU] over [the people of many nations].
5 हेर, परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर, इस्राएलको परमपवित्र, जसले तिमीहरूलाई महिमित पार्नुभएको छ, उहाँको कारणले तिमीहरूले नचिनेको जातिलाई बोलाउनेछौ, अनि तिमीहरूलाई नचिन्ने एउटा जाति तिमीहरूतिर दौडेर आउनेछ ।
And similarly, you will summon people of other nations to come to you, nations that previously you have not heard about, and they had not heard about you; and they will come to you quickly because [they will have heard that I], Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, have honored you.
6 जबसम्म परमप्रभुलाई भेट्टाउन सक्छौ, तबसम्म उहाँलाई खोज । उहाँ नजिक हुनुहुँदा नै उहाँको खोजी गर ।
Seek [to know] me while it is still possible for you to do that; call to me while I am near!
7 दुष्टले आफ्नो बाटो र पापको मानिसले आफ्ना विचारहरू त्यागोस् । ऊ परमप्रभुमा फर्कोस्, र उहाँले उसलाई दया गर्नुहुनेछ र हाम्रा परमेश्वरमा जसले उसलाई प्रशस्त गरी क्षमा गर्नुहुनेछ ।
Wicked [people] should abandon their wicked behavior, and evil people should stop thinking what is evil. They should turn to me, and if they do that, I will act mercifully toward them; they should turn to me, their God, because I will fully pardon them [for all the wicked things that they have done].
8 “किनभने मेरा विचारहरू तिमीहरूका विचारहरू होइनन्, न त तिमीहरूका उपायहरू मेरा उपायहरू हुन्— यो पमरप्रभुको घोषणा हो—
I, Yahweh, declare that what I think is not the same as what you think, and what I do is very different from what you do.
9 किनकि जसरी पृथ्वीभन्दा आकाश उच्च छ, त्यसरी नै तिमीहरूका उपायहरूभन्दा मेरा उपायहरू र तिमीहरू विचारहरूभन्दा मेरा विचारहरू उच्च छन् ।
Just as the sky is far above the earth, what I do is far greater than what you do, and what I think is much greater than what you think.
10 किनकि जसरी झरी र हिउँ आकाशबाट तल आउँछ, अनि जबसम्म तिनले पृथ्वीलाई भिजाउँदैनन्, र त्यसलाई उब्जाउने तथा उमार्ने बनाउँदैनन्, र छर्ने किसानलाई बीउ र खानेलाई रोटी दिंदैनन्, तबसम्म ती त्यहाँ फर्कंदैनन्,
Rain and snow come down from the sky, and they cause the ground to be moist before the moisture returns [to the sky and produces more clouds]. When the ground becomes moist, it causes plants to sprout and grow, with the result that the soil produces seed for the farmer [to plant] and [grain to produce flour to make] bread for people to eat.
11 त्यसरी नै मेरो मुखबाट निस्कने मेरो वचन पनि हुनेछ— त्यो मकहाँ रित्तै फर्कनेछैन, तर जुन उद्देश्यको निम्ति मैले त्यसलाई पठाएँ, त्यसमा त्यो सफल हुनेछ ।
And similarly the things that I promise to do, I will [always] cause to happen; my promises will [always] be fulfilled [LIT]. They will accomplish the things that I gave them to accomplish [DOU].
12 किनकि तिमीहरू आनन्दमा जानेछौ र शन्तिसित डोर्याइनेछौ । तिमीहरूका सामु पर्वतहरू र पहाडहरू आनन्दको सोरमा गाउनेछन्, अनि मैदानका सबै रूखले आफ्ना हातले ताली बजाउनेछन् ।
You will leave [Babylon] joyfully, you will have peace as I lead you out. [It will be as though] the hills and mountains will sing joyfully, and the trees in the fields will clap their hands.
13 काँढे झाडीको सट्टामा सल्ला उम्रनेछ । अनि सिउँडीको सट्टामा मेहँदी उम्रनेछ र यो परमप्रभुको निम्ति, उहाँको नाउँको निम्ति अनन्त चिन्हको रूपमा हुनेछ, जुन कहिल्यै काटिनेछैन ।
Instead of thornbushes and briers, pine/cypress [trees] and myrtle [trees] will grow [in your land]. As a result of that, people will honor me much more; and what I do will remind everyone that [I do what I have promised].”
