यशैया 59
1 हेर, परमप्रभुको हात यति छोटो छैन कि त्यसले बचाउन सक्दैन । न त उहाँको कान यति मन्द नै छ कि त्यसले सुन्न सक्दैन ।
Behold, Yahweh’s hand is not shortened, that it can’t save; nor his ear dull, that it can’t hear.
2 तापनि तिमीहरूका पापपुर्ण कामहरूले तिमीहरूलाई परमेश्वरबाट अलग गरेको छ, र तिमीहरूका पापहरूले तिमीहरूबाट र तिमीहरूका कुरा सुन्नबाट उहाँलाई आफ्नो मुख लुकाउने बनाएको छ ।
But your iniquities have separated you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.
3 किनकि तिमीहरूका हातहरूमा रगतका र तिमीहरूको औंलाहरूमा पापका दाग छन् । तिमीहरूका ओठहरूले झुट बोल्छन् र तिमीहरूका जिब्राले छलपुर्वक बोल्छन् ।
For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity. Your lips have spoken lies. Your tongue mutters wickedness.
4 कसैले पनि धार्मिकतामा पुकारा गर्दैन र कसैले पनि आफ्नो मुद्दाको निम्ति सत्यतामा बिन्ति गर्दैन । तिनीहरू रित्ता शब्दहरूमा भर पर्छन् र झुट बोल्छन् । तिनीहरूले कष्ट गर्भधारण गर्छन् र पाप जन्माउँछन् ।
No one sues in righteousness, and no one pleads in truth. They trust in vanity and speak lies. They conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.
5 तिनीहरूले विषालु सर्पको अण्डा ओथर्छन् र माकुराको जालो बुन्छन् । तिनीहरूका अण्डा जसले खान्छ त्यो मर्छ र एउटा अण्डा फुटाइयो भने, त्यसबाट विषलु सर्प निस्कन्छ ।
They hatch adders’ eggs and weave the spider’s web. He who eats of their eggs dies; and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.
6 तिनीहरूका जालोहरू लुगाको निम्ति प्रयोग गर्न सकिंदैन, न त तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कामहरूले आफूलाई ढाक्न सक्छन् । तिनीहरूका कामहरू पापका कामहरू हुन् र तिनीहरूका हातहरूमा हिंसाका कामहरू छन् ।
Their webs won’t become garments. They won’t cover themselves with their works. Their works are works of iniquity, and acts of violence are in their hands.
7 तिनीहरूका पाउहरू दुष्टतातिर हतारिन्छ र तिनीहरू नोर्दोष रगत बगाउन दौडिन्छन् । तिनीहरूका विचारहरू पापका विचारहरू हुन् । हिंसा र विनाश तिनीहरूका बाटोहरू हुन् ।
Their feet run to evil, and they hurry to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity. Desolation and destruction are in their paths.
8 शान्तिको बाटो तिनीहरूले जान्दैनन् र तिनीहरूका बाटोहरूमा न्याय हुँदैन । तिनीहरूले बाङ्गा बाटोहरू बनाएका छन् । यी बाटोहरूमा यात्रा गर्नेहरूले शान्ति जान्दैनन् ।
They don’t know the way of peace; and there is no justice in their ways. They have made crooked paths for themselves; whoever goes in them doesn’t know peace.
9 यसकारण न्याय हामीबाट टाढा छ, न त धार्मिकता हामीकहाँ आइपुग्छ । हामी ज्योतिको आशा गर्छौं, तर अन्धकार देख्छौं । हामी उज्यालोको प्रतिक्षा गर्छौं, तर हामी अन्धकारमा हिंड्छौं ।
Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness doesn’t overtake us. We look for light, but see darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity.
10 अन्धाले झैं र देख्न नसक्नेहरूले झैं हामी भित्ता छाम्छौं । हामी मध्यदिनमा नै साँझमा झैं ठेस खान्छौं । बलियोहरूका माझमा हामी मरेका मानिसझैं छौं।
We grope for the wall like the blind. Yes, we grope as those who have no eyes. We stumble at noon as if it were twilight. Among those who are strong, we are like dead men.
11 हामी भालुझैं कराउँछौं र ढुकुरझैं विलाप गर्छौं । हामी न्यायको आशा गर्छौं, तर त्यहाँ छैन । छुटकाराको खोज्छौं, तर त्यो हामीबाट टाढा छ ।
We all roar like bears and moan sadly like doves. We look for justice, but there is none, for salvation, but it is far off from us.
12 किनकि हाम्रा धेरै अपराधहरू तपाईंका सामु छन् र हाम्रा पापहरूले हाम्रा विरुद्धमा गवाही दिन्छन् । किनकि हाम्रा अपराधहरू हामीसँग छन् र हामी आफ्ना पापहरू जान्दछौं।
For our transgressions are multiplied before you, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and as for our iniquities, we know them:
13 परमप्रभुलाई इन्कार गरेर र हाम्रा परमेश्वरको अनुसरण गर्न छाडेर हामीले विद्रोह गरेका छौं । हामीले झुट बोलेका छौं, अनि तर्किएर हृदय र झुटका शब्दहरूबाट गनगन गरेका छौं ।
transgressing and denying Yahweh, and turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
14 न्याय हटाइएको छ र धार्मिका टाढै खडा हुन्छ । किनकि सत्यता खुल्ला ठाउँ ठेस खान्छ र ठिक कुरा आउन सक्दैन ।
Justice is turned away backward, and righteousness stands far away; for truth has fallen in the street, and uprightness can’t enter.
15 भरोसा हराएको छ, र जो दुष्टताबाट फर्किन्छ उसले आफूलाई शिकार बनाउँछ । परमप्रभुले यो देख्नुभयो र त्यहाँ न्याय नदेखेर अप्रशन्न हुनुभयो ।
Yes, truth is lacking; and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. Yahweh saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice.
16 त्यहाँ उहाँले कुनै मानिसलाई देख्नुभएन र मध्यस्थ गर्ने कोही नभएकोमा उहाँ छक्क पर्नुभयो । यसकारण उहाँको आफ्नै बहुलीले उसको उद्धार गर्यो र उहाँको धार्मिकताले उसलाई सम्भाल्यो ।
He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor. Therefore his own arm brought salvation to him; and his righteousness sustained him.
17 उहाँले धार्मिकतालाई छातीपाताको रूपमा र आफ्नो शिरमा मुक्तिको टोप लगाउनुभयो । उहाँले आफूलाई बदलाको पोशाल पहिरनुभयो र जोशलाई आवरणको रूपमा लगाउनुभयो ।
He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on his head. He put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle.
18 आफ्ना विरोधीहरूलाई क्रोधको इन्साफले, आफ्ना शत्रुहरूलाई बदलाले, टापुहरूलाई तिनीहरूका इनामको रूपमा दण्डले, तिनीहरूले जे गरेका थिए, त्यसको प्रतिफल उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभयो ।
According to their deeds, he will repay as appropriate: wrath to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies. He will repay the islands their due.
19 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले पश्चिमदेखि परमप्रभुको नाउँको भय मान्नेछन् र सूर्योदयदेखि उहाँको महिमा देख्नेछन् । किनकि परमप्रभुको सासले डोर्याएर उहाँ उर्लंदो नदीझैं आउनुहुनेछ ।
So they will fear Yahweh’s name from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come as a rushing stream, which Yahweh’s breath drives.
20 “सियोनमा र याकूबका विद्रोही कामहरूबाट फर्कनेहरूकहाँ— एक जना उद्धारक आउनुहुने छ— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
“A Redeemer will come to Zion, and to those who turn from disobedience in Jacob,” says Yahweh.
21 परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ— मेरो निम्ति, तिनीहरूसँग यो मेरो करार हो । मेरो आत्मा तँमाथि छ, र मेरो वचन मैले तेरो मुखमा राखेको छु, त्यो तेरो मुखबाट जानेछैन वा तेरा छोराछोरीका मुखबाट जानेछैन, अहिलेदेखि सदासर्वदासम्मै—परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ ।
“As for me, this is my covenant with them,” says Yahweh. “My Spirit who is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your offspring, nor out of the mouth of your offspring’s offspring,” says Yahweh, “from now on and forever.”
