< यशैया 6 >
1 उज्जियाह राजाको मृत्यु भएको वर्षमा मैले परमप्रभुलाई सिंहासनमा विराजमान हुनुभएको देखें । उहाँ उच्च र उचालिएको हुनुहुन्थ्यो, अनि उहाँको पोशाकको छेउले मन्दिर नै ढाकेको थियो ।
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted; and the train of His robe filled the temple.
2 उहाँ माथिल्तिर सराफहरू थिए । प्रत्येकका छ-छवटा पखेटाहरू थिए । दुई वटा पखेटाहरूले प्रत्येकले आफ्नो मुहार छोप्थे र दुई वटा पखेटाले तिनले आफ्ना खुट्टा छोप्थे र दुई वटाले ती उड्थे ।
Above Him stood seraphim, each having six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.
3 प्रत्येकले अर्कोलाई बोलाउँथे र यसो भन्थे, “सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु पवित्र, पवित्र, पवित्र हुनुहुन्छ! सारा पृथ्वी उहाँको महिमाले भरिएको छ ।”
And they were calling out to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Hosts; all the earth is full of His glory.”
4 ती कराइरहेकाहरूको आवाजले सँघारका जगहरू हल्लिए र मन्दिर धूँवाले भरिएको थियो ।
At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook, and the temple was filled with smoke.
5 तब मैले भने, “मलाई धिक्कार होस्! किनभने म सर्वनाश भएँ, म त अशुद्ध ओठ भएको मानिस हुँ, र अशुद्ध मानिसहरूको बिचमा म बस्छु, किनभने सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु महाराजा परमप्रभुलाई नै मेरा आँखाले देखेका छन्!”
Then I said: “Woe is me, for I am ruined, because I am a man of unclean lips dwelling among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of Hosts.”
6 तब सराफहरूमध्ये एउटा उडेर मकहाँ आए । उनको हातमा बलिरहेको भुङ्ग्रो थियो, जसलाई उनले वेदीबाट चिम्टाले निकालेका थिए ।
Then one of the seraphim flew to me, and in his hand was a glowing coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar.
7 त्यसले उनले मेरो ओठ छोए र भने, “हेर, यसले तिम्रो ओठ छोएको छ । तिम्रा दोषहरू हटाइएका छन् र तिम्रा पापको प्रायश्चि गरिएको छ ।”
And with it he touched my mouth and said: “Now that this has touched your lips, your iniquity is removed and your sin is atoned for.”
8 मैले परमप्रभुको यसो भन्ने आवाज सुनें, “म कसलाई पठाऊँ । हाम्रा निम्ति को जान्छ?” तब मैले भनें, “म यहाँ छु । मलाई पठाउनुहोस् ।”
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying: “Whom shall I send? Who will go for Us?” And I said: “Here am I. Send me!”
9 उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “जाऊ, यी मानिहरूलाई भन, 'सुन्छौ, तर बुझ्दैनौ । हेर्छौ, तर थाहा पाउँदैनौ ।'
And He replied: “Go and tell this people, ‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’
10 यी मानिसहरूका हृदयलाई मुर्ख बनाऊ, र तिनीहरूका कानलाई बैरो बनाऊ र तिनीहरूका आँखालाई अन्धो बनाऊ । अन्यथा तिनीहरूका आफ्नो आँखाले देख्लान्, तिनीहरूका कानले सुन्लान् र तिनीहरूका हृदयले बुझ्लान् र तब फर्केर निको होलान् ।”
Make the hearts of this people calloused; deafen their ears and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.”
11 तब मैले भने, “हे परमप्रभु, कहिलेसम्म?” उहाँले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “बासिन्दाविनाका भग्नावशेष सहरहरू ध्वस्त नहुन्जेल र मानिसविनाका घरहरू नहुन्जेल, र देश उजाड नहुन्जेल,
Then I asked: “How long, O Lord?” And He replied: “Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant, until the houses are left unoccupied and the land is desolate and ravaged,
12 अनि परमप्रभुले मानिसहरूलाई टाढा नपठाउन्जेल र देश ठुलो निर्जन नहुन्जेलसम्म ।
until the LORD has driven men far away and the land is utterly forsaken.
13 यसमा मानिसहरूको दस भागमा एक भाग रहे तापनि, फेरि पनि त्यो नष्ट पारिनेछ । तारपीन र फँलाट काटिन्छ र त्यसको ठुटो बाँकी रहेझैं, त्यसको पवित्र बीउ त्यसको ठुटोमा हुन्छ ।”
And though a tenth remains in the land, it will be burned again. As the terebinth and oak leave stumps when felled, so the holy seed will be a stump in the land.”
