< यशैया 57 >

1 धर्मी नष्‍ट हुन्छ तर यो कुरा कसैले विचार गर्दैन, र करारको विश्‍वस्‍ततका मानसहरूलाई टाढा भेला पारिन्‍छ, दुष्‍टबाट धर्मीलाई टाढा लगिन्छन्, तर कसैले बुझ्‍दैन ।
The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; devout men are swept away, while no one considers that the righteous are guided from the presence of evil.
2 ऊ शन्तिमा प्रवेश गर्छ । जो आफ्नो सोझोपनमा हिंड्छन् तिनीहरू आफ्ना ओछ्यानहरूमा आराम गर्छन् ।
Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest, lying down in death.
3 तर तिमीहरू झँक्रेनीना छोराहरू, व्यभिचारी र आफूलाई वेश्या बनाउने स्‍त्रीको सन्तानहरू, यहाँ आओ ।
“But come here, you sons of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!
4 तिमीहरू खुसी हुँदै कसलाई गिल्‍ला गर्दैछौ? कसको विरुद्धमा तिमीहरूले मुख खोल्‍दैछौ र जिब्रो निकाल्दैछौ? के तिमीहरू विद्रोह र छलका छोराछोरी होइनौ र?
Whom are you mocking? At whom do you snarl and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of transgression, offspring of deceit,
5 तिमीहरूले फलाँटका रूखहरूमुनि र हरेक हरियो रूखमुनि सँगै सुतेर आफैलाई यौनको उत्तेजनामा पार्छौ, तिमीहरू जसले आफ्ना छोराछोरीलाई सुख्खा नदीहरूमा, चट्टानका धाँदामुनि बलि गर्छौ ।
who burn with lust among the oaks, under every luxuriant tree, who slaughter your children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
6 नदीको बेसीका चिल्ला थोकहरूमा तिमीहरूलाई दिइएका थोकहरू पनि पर्छन् । ती तिमीहरूले पुजा गर्ने वस्तुहरू हुन् । तिमीहरूले आफ्ना अर्घबलिहरू तिनीहरूमाथि खन्याउँछौ र अन्‍नबलिहरू चढाउँछौ । के यी कुराहरूमा म खुसी हुनू?
Your portion is among the smooth stones of the valley; indeed, they are your lot. Even to them you have poured out a drink offering and offered a grain offering. Should I relent because of these?
7 तिमीहरूले आफ्ना ओछ्यान उच्‍च पहाडमाथि बनाउँछौ । तिमीहरू बलिदानहरू चढाउन पनि त्यसमाथि गयौ ।
On a high and lofty hill you have made your bed, and there you went up to offer sacrifices.
8 ढोका र चौकोसहरूका पछाडि तिमीहरूले चिन्हहरू खडा गर्‍यौ । तिमीहरूले मलाई त्याग्यौ, र आफैलाई नाङ्गो बनायौ र माथि गयौ । तिमीहरूले आफ्ना ओछ्यान फराकिलो बनायौ । तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूसित करार बाँध्यौ । तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूका ओछ्यानहरूलाई प्रेम गर्‍यौ । तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूका गुप्‍ताङ्गहरू देख्यौ ।
Behind the door and doorpost you have set up your memorial. Forsaking Me, you uncovered your bed; you climbed up and opened it wide. And you have made a pact with those whose bed you have loved; you have gazed upon their nakedness.
9 तिमीहरू मोलेककहाँ तेल लिएर गयौ । तिमीहरूले सुगन्धित तेल बढायौ । तिमीहरूले आफ्‍ना राजदूतहरूलाई टाढा पठायौ । तिमीहरू तल चिहान गयौ । (Sheol h7585)
You went to Molech with oil and multiplied your perfumes. You have sent your envoys a great distance; you have descended even to Sheol itself. (Sheol h7585)
10 तिमीहरू आफ्‍नो लामो यात्रबाट थकित भयौ, तर तिमीहरूले कहिल्यै भनेनौ, “यो आशाहीन छ ।” तिमीहरूले आफ्नो हातमा नै जीवन पायौ । यसकारण तिमीहरू कमजोर भएनौ ।
You are wearied by your many journeys, but you did not say, “There is no hope!” You found renewal of your strength; therefore you did not grow weak.
11 “तिमीहरू कसको विषयमा चिन्तित हुन्‍छौ? तिमीहरूले कसको भय यति धेरै मान्छौ, जसले तिमीहरूलाई यति धेरै धोकापुर्ण रूपमा काम गर्ने बनाएको छ, यति धेरै कि तिमीहरूले मेरो याद गर्दैनौ न त मेरो बारेमा विचार नै गर्छौ? म यति लामो समयसम्म मौन भएको हुनाले, मसँग तिमीहरू फेरि डराउँदैनौ ।
Whom have you dreaded and feared, so that you lied and failed to remember Me or take this to heart? Is it not because I have long been silent that you do not fear Me?
12 तिमीहरूका सबै धर्मिक कामहरू घोषणा म गर्ने र तिमीहरूले गरेका सबै कुरा भन्‍नेछु, तर तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई सहायता गर्नेछैनन् ।
I will expose your righteousness and your works, and they will not profit you.
13 तिमीहरूले पुकारा गर्दा तिमीहरूले जम्‍मा गरेका मूर्तीहरूले नै तिमीहरूलाई बचाऊन् । बरु, हावाले तिनीहरू सबैलाई उडाएर लानेछ, सासले नै तिनीहरू सबैलाई उडाएर लानेछ । तापनि ममा शरण लिनेले देश अधिकार गर्नेछ र मेरो पवित्र पर्वतको अधिकारी हुनेछ ।
When you cry out, let your companies of idols deliver you! Yet the wind will carry off all of them, a breath will take them away. But he who seeks refuge in Me will inherit the land and possess My holy mountain.”
14 उहाँले भन्‍नुहुनेछ, 'बनओ, बनाओ! बाटो सफा बनाओ! मेरा मानिसहरूका बाटोबाट ठेस लाग्‍ने कुराहरू हटाओ'!”
And it will be said, “Build it up, build it up, prepare the way, take every obstacle out of the way of My people.”
15 उच्‍च र माथि उचालिले यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, जो अनन्तसम्म जिउनुहुने, जसको नाउँ पवित्र हो, “म उचालिएको र पवित्र स्थानमा बस्‍छु, साथै जसको तोडिएको र नम्र आत्मा हुन्‍छ, नम्रहरूका आत्मा जगाउन र पश्‍चात्तापीहरूका हृदयलाई जगाउन, तिनीहरूमा म पनि बस्‍छु ।
For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in a high and holy place, and with the oppressed and humble in spirit, to restore the spirit of the lowly and revive the heart of the contrite.
16 किनकि म सधैं दोष लगाउँदिनँ, न त म सधैं रिसाउँछु, किनकि त्‍यसो गरें भने, मानिसको आत्मा मेरो सामु मूर्छित हुन्‍छ, जुन जीवनहरू मैले नै बनाएको हो ।
For I will not accuse you forever, nor will I always be angry; for then the spirit of man would grow weak before Me, with the breath of those I have made.
17 हिंसाले लिएको फाइदाको कारणले, म रिसाएँ, र मैले त्यसलाई दण्ड दिएँ । मैले आफ्‍नो मुख लुकाएँ र रिसाएँ, तर ऊ आफ्नो हृदयको मार्गमा पछाडितिर गयो ।
I was enraged by his sinful greed, so I struck him and hid My face in anger; yet he kept turning back to the desires of his heart.
18 मैले उसका बाटोहरू देखेको छु, तर म उसलाई निको पार्नेछु । म उसलाई डोर्‍याउनेछु, र उसको निम्ति शोक गर्नेहरूलाई सान्त्वना र सहानुभूति दिनेछु,
I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him and his mourners,
19 र म ओठको फल सृजना गर्छु । परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, शान्ति, शान्ति, जो टाढा छन् र जो नजिक छन्— म तिनीहरूलाई निको पार्नेछु ।
bringing praise to their lips. Peace, peace to those far and near,” says the LORD, “and I will heal them.”
20 तर दुष्‍टहरू उर्लिएको समुद्रजस्तै हुन् जसले विश्राम गर्न सक्दैन र यसको पानीले हिलो र दलदल घोलिदिन्‍छ ।
But the wicked are like the storm-tossed sea, for it cannot be still, and its waves churn up mire and muck.
21 दुष्‍टहरूको निम्ति कुनै शान्ति छैन— परमेश्‍वर भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।”
“There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”
