< 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 upright man goes to his death, and no one gives a thought to it; and god-fearing men are taken away, and no one is troubled by it; for the upright man is taken away because of evil-doing, and goes into peace.
2 ऊ शन्तिमा प्रवेश गर्छ । जो आफ्नो सोझोपनमा हिंड्छन् तिनीहरू आफ्ना ओछ्यानहरूमा आराम गर्छन् ।
They are at rest in their last resting-places, every one going straight before him.
3 तर तिमीहरू झँक्रेनीना छोराहरू, व्यभिचारी र आफूलाई वेश्या बनाउने स्त्रीको सन्तानहरू, यहाँ आओ ।
But come near, you sons of her who is wise in secret arts, the seed of her who is false to her husband, and of the loose woman.
4 तिमीहरू खुसी हुँदै कसलाई गिल्ला गर्दैछौ? कसको विरुद्धमा तिमीहरूले मुख खोल्दैछौ र जिब्रो निकाल्दैछौ? के तिमीहरू विद्रोह र छलका छोराछोरी होइनौ र?
Of whom do you make sport? against whom is your mouth open wide and your tongue put out? are you not uncontrolled children, a false seed,
5 तिमीहरूले फलाँटका रूखहरूमुनि र हरेक हरियो रूखमुनि सँगै सुतेर आफैलाई यौनको उत्तेजनामा पार्छौ, तिमीहरू जसले आफ्ना छोराछोरीलाई सुख्खा नदीहरूमा, चट्टानका धाँदामुनि बलि गर्छौ ।
You who are burning with evil desire among the oaks, under every green tree; putting children to death in the valleys, under the cracks 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?
Among the smooth stones of the valley is your heritage; they, even they, are your part: even to them have you made a drink offering and a meal offering. Is it possible for such things to be overlooked by me?
7 तिमीहरूले आफ्ना ओछ्यान उच्च पहाडमाथि बनाउँछौ । तिमीहरू बलिदानहरू चढाउन पनि त्यसमाथि गयौ ।
You have put your bed on a high mountain: there you went up to make your offering.
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 ।
And on the back of the doors and on the pillars you have put your sign: for you have been false to me with another; you have made your bed wide, and made an agreement with them; you had a desire for their bed where you saw it
9 तिमीहरू मोलेककहाँ तेल लिएर गयौ । तिमीहरूले सुगन्धित तेल बढायौ । तिमीहरूले आफ्ना राजदूतहरूलाई टाढा पठायौ । तिमीहरू तल चिहान गयौ । (Sheol )
And you went to Melech with oil and much perfume, and you sent your representatives far off, and went as low as the underworld. (Sheol )
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 were tired with your long journeys; but you did not say, There is no hope: you got new strength, and so you were not feeble.
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 ।
And of whom were you in fear, so that you were false, and did not keep me in mind, or give thought to it? Have I not been quiet, keeping myself secret, and so you were not in fear of me?
12 तिमीहरूका सबै धर्मिक कामहरू घोषणा म गर्ने र तिमीहरूले गरेका सबै कुरा भन्नेछु, तर तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई सहायता गर्नेछैनन् ।
I will make clear what your righteousness is like and your works; you will have no profit in them.
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 ।
Your false gods will not keep you safe in answer to your cry; but the wind will take them, they will be gone like a breath: but he who puts his hope in me will take the land, and will have my holy mountain as his heritage.
14 उहाँले भन्नुहुनेछ, 'बनओ, बनाओ! बाटो सफा बनाओ! मेरा मानिसहरूका बाटोबाट ठेस लाग्ने कुराहरू हटाओ'!”
And I will say, Make it high, make it high, get ready the way, take the stones 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 this is the word of him who is high and lifted up, whose resting-place is eternal, whose name is Holy: my resting-place is in the high and holy place, and with him who is crushed and poor in spirit, to give life to the spirit of the poor, and to make strong the heart of the crushed.
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 give punishment for ever, or be angry without end: for from me breath goes out; and I it was who made the souls.
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 quickly angry with his evil ways, and sent punishment on him, veiling my face in wrath: and he went on, turning his heart from me.
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, and I will make him well: I will give him rest, comforting him and his people who are sad.
19 र म ओठको फल सृजना गर्छु । परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, शान्ति, शान्ति, जो टाढा छन् र जो नजिक छन्— म तिनीहरूलाई निको पार्नेछु ।
I will give the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is near and to him who is far off, says the Lord; and I will make him well.
20 तर दुष्टहरू उर्लिएको समुद्रजस्तै हुन् जसले विश्राम गर्न सक्दैन र यसको पानीले हिलो र दलदल घोलिदिन्छ ।
But the evil-doers are like the troubled sea, for which there is no rest, and its waters send up earth and waste.
21 दुष्टहरूको निम्ति कुनै शान्ति छैन— परमेश्वर भन्नुहुन्छ ।”
There is no peace, says my God, for the evil-doers.
