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 ।
Thus said Jehovah: 'Keep ye judgment, and do righteousness, For near [is] My salvation to come, And My righteousness 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 ।
O the happiness of a man who doth this, And of a son of man who keepeth hold on it, Keeping the sabbath from polluting it, And keeping 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 ।”
Nor speak let a son of the stranger, Who is joined unto Jehovah, saying: 'Jehovah doth certainly separate me from His people.' Nor say let the eunuch, 'Lo, I am a tree dried up,'
4 किनकि परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “मेरा शबाथ-दिन पालन गर्ने र मलाई मन पर्ने कुरा गर्ने र मेरो करा बलियो गरी समात्ने नपुङ्सकहरूलाई,
For thus said Jehovah of the eunuchs, Who do keep My sabbaths, And have fixed on that which I desired, And are keeping hold on 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 ।
I have given to them in My house, And within My walls a station and a name, Better than sons and than daughters, A name age-during I give to him That is not 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,
And sons of the stranger, who are joined to Jehovah, To serve Him, and to love the name of Jehovah, To be to Him for servants, Every keeper of the sabbath from polluting it, And those keeping hold on 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 have brought them unto My holy mountain, And caused them to rejoice in My house of prayer, Their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices [Are] for a pleasing thing on Mine altar, For My house, 'A house of prayer,' Is called for all the peoples.
8 यो इस्राएलबाट बहिष्कृत भएकाहरूलाई भेला पार्नुहुने परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो— तिनीहरूबाहेक अरूलाई पनि म भेला पार्नेछु ।”
An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Who is gathering the outcasts of Israel: 'Again I gather to him — to his gathered ones.'
9 ए मैदानमा भएका सबै जङ्गली पशुहरू, वनका सबै जङ्गली पशुहरू आओ र खाओ!
Every beast of the field, Come to devour, every beast 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 ।
Blind [are] his watchmen — all of them, They have not known, All of them [are] dumb dogs, they are not able to bark, Dozing, lying down, loving to slumber.
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 the dogs [are] strong of desire, They have not known sufficiency, And they [are] shepherds! They have not known understanding, All of them to their own way they did turn, Each to his dishonest gain from his quarter:
12 तिनीहरू भन्छन्, “आओ, हामी दाखमद्य र कडा मद्य पिऔं । भोलि पनि आजको जस्तै धेरै महान् दिन हुनेछ ।”
'Come ye, I take wine, And we drink, quaff strong drink, And as this day hath been to-morrow, Great — exceeding abundant!'
