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 ।
This is what Yahweh says, “Observe what is right, do what is just; for my salvation is near, and my righteousness is about to be revealed.
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 ।
Blessed is the man that does this, and who holds it tightly. He observes the Sabbath, not defiling it, and keeps his hand from doing any 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 ।”
Let no foreigner who has become a follower of Yahweh say, “Yahweh will certainly exclude me from his people.” The eunuch should not say, “See, I am a dry tree.”
4 किनकि परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “मेरा शबाथ-दिन पालन गर्ने र मलाई मन पर्ने कुरा गर्ने र मेरो करा बलियो गरी समात्ने नपुङ्सकहरूलाई,
For this is what Yahweh says, “To the eunuchs who observe my Sabbaths and choose what pleases me, and hold fast my covenant,
5 आफ्नो मन्दिरमा र मेरा पर्खालहरूभित्र छोराहरू र छोरीहरू हुनेभन्दा असल स्मारकको रूपमा तिनीहरूलाई म खडा गर्नेछु । तिनीहरूलाई कहिल्यै नकाटिने अनन्तको स्मारक म दिनेछु ।
to them I will set up in my house and within my walls a monument that is better than having sons and of daughters. I will give them an everlasting monument that will never be cut off.
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,
Also foreigners who join themselves to Yahweh— to serve him, and who love the name of Yahweh, to worship him, every one who observes the Sabbath and who keeps from defiling it, and who holds fast my covenant
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 to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar. For my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations,
8 यो इस्राएलबाट बहिष्कृत भएकाहरूलाई भेला पार्नुहुने परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो— तिनीहरूबाहेक अरूलाई पनि म भेला पार्नेछु ।”
this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh, who gathers the outcasts of Israel— I will still gather others in addition to them.”
9 ए मैदानमा भएका सबै जङ्गली पशुहरू, वनका सबै जङ्गली पशुहरू आओ र खाओ!
All you wild beasts of the field, come and devour, all you beasts in the forest!
10 तिनीहरूका सबै रक्षकहरू अन्धा छन्, तिनीहरूले बुझ्दैनन् । तिनीहरू सबै भुक्न नसक्ने शान्त कुकुरहरू हुन् । तिनीहरू सपना देख्छन् र तिनीहरू ढल्केर सुत्न मन पराउँछन् ।
All their watchmen are blind, they do not understand. They are all silent dogs who cannot bark. They dream, and lying down they love to sleep.
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 ।
The dogs have big appetites; they can never get enough; they are shepherds without discernment; they have all turned to their own way, each one covetous for unjust gain.
12 तिनीहरू भन्छन्, “आओ, हामी दाखमद्य र कडा मद्य पिऔं । भोलि पनि आजको जस्तै धेरै महान् दिन हुनेछ ।”
“Come,” they say, “let us drink wine and liquor. Tomorrow will be like today, a day great beyond measure.”
