यशैया 56
1 परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “जे ठिक छ सो गर, जे न्यायोचित छ सो गर । किनकि मेरो उद्धार नजिकै छ र मेरो धार्मिकता प्रकट हुनै लागेको छ ।
Yahweh says [to all the people of Judah], “Do the things that are fair and just, because I will soon come to rescue [DOU] you.
2 त्यसो गर्ने र त्यसलाई दह्रोसित समात्ने मानिस धन्यको हो । उसले शबाथ-दिनलाई अपवित्र नपारी त्यसको पालन गर्छ र कुनै खराबी गर्नबाट आफ्नो हातलाई अलग राख्छ ।
I will bless those who faithfully obey my laws about the Sabbath/rest days. I will bless those who (keep sacred/honor) my Sabbath/rest days, and who do not do any work on those days, and who refrain from [MTY] doing anything that is evil.
3 परमप्रभुको अनुसरण गर्ने कुनै परदेशीले यसो नभनोस्, “निश्चय नै परमप्रभुले मलाई आफ्ना मानिसहरूबाट बहिस्कार गर्नुहुनेछ ।” नपुङ्सकले यसो भन्नुहुँदैन, “हेर, म सुकेको रूख हुँ ।”
And foreigners who have believed in me should not say, ‘Yahweh will surely not allow me to belong to his people.’ And eunuchs should not say, ‘[Because I am unable to have children, I cannot belong to Yahweh]; I am like [MET] a tree that has completely withered.’
4 किनकि परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “मेरा शबाथ-दिन पालन गर्ने र मलाई मन पर्ने कुरा गर्ने र मेरो करा बलियो गरी समात्ने नपुङ्सकहरूलाई,
They should not say that, because [I], Yahweh, say this to the eunuchs who obey my laws about the Sabbath, and who choose to do the things that please me, and who obey all [the other laws of] the agreement that I [made with the Israeli people]:
5 आफ्नो मन्दिरमा र मेरा पर्खालहरूभित्र छोराहरू र छोरीहरू हुनेभन्दा असल स्मारकको रूपमा तिनीहरूलाई म खडा गर्नेछु । तिनीहरूलाई कहिल्यै नकाटिने अनन्तको स्मारक म दिनेछु ।
I will cause to be put inside the walls of my temple a monument [DOU] to them; because of that monument, they will be honored more than they would have if they had children; they will be honored forever.
6 ती परदेशीहरू पनि जो परमप्रभुमा सहभागी हुन्छन्— उहाँको सेवा गर्न र उहाँको आराधना गर्न परमप्रभुको नाउँलाई प्रेम गर्नेहरू, हरेक व्यक्ति जसले शबाथ-दिन पालन गर्छ, र जसले त्यसलाई अपवित्र पार्दैन, अनि जसले मेरो करार बलियो गरी समाउँछ,
I will also bless those who are not Israelis, who (join themselves to/believe in) me, and who serve me and worship and love me, and who obey my laws about the Sabbath, and who faithfully obey [all the other laws of] the agreement that I [made with the Israeli people].
7 — म आफ्नो पवित्र पर्वतमा ल्याउनेछु र मेरो प्रार्थनाको घरमा तिनीहरूलाई आनन्दित बनाउनेछु । तिनीहरूका होमबलिहरू र बलिदानहरू मेरो वेदीमा स्वीकार गरिनेछ । किनकि मेरो घर सबै जातिका निम्ति प्रार्थनाको घर भनिनेछ,
I will bring them to my sacred hill [in Jerusalem], I will cause them to be [very] joyful in my temple where people pray to me, and I will accept the sacrifices that they completely burn [on my altar] and other sacrifices that they offer. I will do those things for them because I want my temple to be a building where people of all nations pray to me.
8 यो इस्राएलबाट बहिष्कृत भएकाहरूलाई भेला पार्नुहुने परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो— तिनीहरूबाहेक अरूलाई पनि म भेला पार्नेछु ।”
[I], Yahweh, the Lord, the one who will bring back the people of Israel who have been (forced to go/exiled) to other countries, say this: 'I will bring [from other countries] many more people to join those Israelis whom I have brought back.'”
9 ए मैदानमा भएका सबै जङ्गली पशुहरू, वनका सबै जङ्गली पशुहरू आओ र खाओ!
“You [surrounding nations have armies that are like] [MET] animals in the forest; come and attack/destroy [Israel]!
10 तिनीहरूका सबै रक्षकहरू अन्धा छन्, तिनीहरूले बुझ्दैनन् । तिनीहरू सबै भुक्न नसक्ने शान्त कुकुरहरू हुन् । तिनीहरू सपना देख्छन् र तिनीहरू ढल्केर सुत्न मन पराउँछन् ।
The Israeli leaders [should be like] watchdogs to protect the people, but [it is as though] they are blind. They are stupid. They are all [like] [MET] dogs that cannot bark. [Good watchdogs bark when strangers approach], [but the Israeli leaders do not warn the people that their enemies are coming]. Instead, they just want to lie down and sleep and dream.
11 ती कुकुरहरू निकै भोकाएका छन् । तिनीहरू कहिल्यै अघाउँदैनन् । तिनीहरू समझ नबइका गोठालाहरू हुन् । तिनीहरू आ-आफ्नै बाटोमा लागेका छन्, प्रत्येक व्यक्तिले अन्यायपुर्ण लाभको निम्ति लालच गर्छ ।
[And they are like] greedy dogs; they never get all that they want. They are [supposed to lead the people, like good] shepherds [lead their flocks], but they are ignorant, and they each do whatever they want to do.
12 तिनीहरू भन्छन्, “आओ, हामी दाखमद्य र कडा मद्य पिऔं । भोलि पनि आजको जस्तै धेरै महान् दिन हुनेछ ।”
They say to each other, ‘Come, let’s go and get some wine and [other] alcoholic/strong drinks, and let’s become drunk! And tomorrow we will enjoy drinking even more!’”
