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 ।
Lo, the hand of Jehovah Hath not been shortened from saving, Nor heavy his ear from hearing.
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 been separating Between you and your God, And your sins have hidden The Presence from you — from hearing.
3 किनकि तिमीहरूका हातहरूमा रगतका र तिमीहरूको औंलाहरूमा पापका दाग छन् । तिमीहरूका ओठहरूले झुट बोल्छन् र तिमीहरूका जिब्राले छलपुर्वक बोल्छन् ।
For your hands have been polluted with blood, And your fingers with iniquity, Your lips have spoken falsehood, Your tongue perverseness doth mutter.
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 ।
There is none calling in righteousness, And there is none pleading in faithfulness, Trusting on emptiness, and speaking falsehood, Conceiving perverseness, and bearing 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 ।
Eggs of a viper they have hatched, And webs of a spider they weave, Whoso is eating their eggs doth die, And the crushed hatcheth 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 become not a garment, Nor do they cover themselves with their works, Their works [are] works of iniquity, And a deed of violence [is] 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 to evil do run, And they haste to shed innocent blood, Their thoughts [are] thoughts of iniquity, Spoiling and destruction [are] in their highways.
8 शान्तिको बाटो तिनीहरूले जान्दैनन् र तिनीहरूका बाटोहरूमा न्याय हुँदैन । तिनीहरूले बाङ्गा बाटोहरू बनाएका छन् । यी बाटोहरूमा यात्रा गर्नेहरूले शान्ति जान्दैनन् ।
A way of peace they have not known, And there is no judgment in their paths, Their paths they have made perverse for themselves, No treader in it hath known 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 hath judgment been far from us, And righteousness reacheth us not, We wait for light, and lo, darkness, For brightness — in thick darkness we go,
10 अन्धाले झैं र देख्न नसक्नेहरूले झैं हामी भित्ता छाम्छौं । हामी मध्यदिनमा नै साँझमा झैं ठेस खान्छौं । बलियोहरूका माझमा हामी मरेका मानिसझैं छौं।
We feel like the blind [for] the wall, Yea, as without eyes we feel, We have stumbled at noon as at twilight, In desolate places as the dead.
11 हामी भालुझैं कराउँछौं र ढुकुरझैं विलाप गर्छौं । हामी न्यायको आशा गर्छौं, तर त्यहाँ छैन । छुटकाराको खोज्छौं, तर त्यो हामीबाट टाढा छ ।
We make a noise as bears — all of us, And as doves we coo sorely; We wait for judgment, and there is none, For salvation — it hath been far 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 have been multiplied before Thee, And our sins have testified against us, For our transgressions [are] with us, And our iniquities — we have known 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 lying against Jehovah, And removing from after our God, Speaking oppression and apostasy, 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 ।
And removed backward is judgment, And righteousness afar off standeth, For truth hath been feeble in the street, And straightforwardness is not able to enter,
15 भरोसा हराएको छ, र जो दुष्टताबाट फर्किन्छ उसले आफूलाई शिकार बनाउँछ । परमप्रभुले यो देख्नुभयो र त्यहाँ न्याय नदेखेर अप्रशन्न हुनुभयो ।
And the truth is lacking, And whoso is turning aside from evil, Is making himself a spoil. And Jehovah seeth, and it is evil in His eyes, That there is no judgment.
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 ।
And He seeth that there is no man, And is astonished that there is no intercessor, And His own arm giveth salvation to Him, And His righteousness — it sustained Him.
17 उहाँले धार्मिकतालाई छातीपाताको रूपमा र आफ्नो शिरमा मुक्तिको टोप लगाउनुभयो । उहाँले आफूलाई बदलाको पोशाल पहिरनुभयो र जोशलाई आवरणको रूपमा लगाउनुभयो ।
And He putteth on righteousness as a breastplate, And an helmet of salvation on His head, And He putteth on garments of vengeance [for] clothing, And is covered, as [with] an upper-robe, [with] zeal.
18 आफ्ना विरोधीहरूलाई क्रोधको इन्साफले, आफ्ना शत्रुहरूलाई बदलाले, टापुहरूलाई तिनीहरूका इनामको रूपमा दण्डले, तिनीहरूले जे गरेका थिए, त्यसको प्रतिफल उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभयो ।
According to deeds — so He repayeth. Fury to His adversaries, [their] deed to His enemies, To the isles [their] deed He repayeth.
19 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले पश्चिमदेखि परमप्रभुको नाउँको भय मान्नेछन् र सूर्योदयदेखि उहाँको महिमा देख्नेछन् । किनकि परमप्रभुको सासले डोर्याएर उहाँ उर्लंदो नदीझैं आउनुहुनेछ ।
And they fear from the west the name of Jehovah, And from the rising of the sun — His honour, When come in as a flood doth an adversary, The Spirit of Jehovah hath raised an ensign against him.
20 “सियोनमा र याकूबका विद्रोही कामहरूबाट फर्कनेहरूकहाँ— एक जना उद्धारक आउनुहुने छ— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
And come to Zion hath a redeemer, Even to captives of transgression in Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 ।
And I — this [is] My covenant with them, said Jehovah, My Spirit that [is] on thee, And My words that I have put in thy mouth, Depart not from thy mouth, And from the mouth of thy seed, And from the mouth of thy seed's seed, said Jehovah, From henceforth unto the age!
