< 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 of the death of king Uzziah, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train 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 ।
Seraphim were standing above him: each had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he flew.
3 प्रत्‍येकले अर्कोलाई बोलाउँथे र यसो भन्थे, “सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु पवित्र, पवित्र, पवित्र हुनुहुन्छ! सारा पृथ्वी उहाँको महिमाले भरिएको छ ।”
And one called to the other and said, Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!
4 ती कराइरहेकाहरूको आवाजले सँघारका जगहरू हल्लिए र मन्‍दिर धूँवाले भरिएको थियो ।
And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him that cried, and the house 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!”
And I said, Woe unto me! for I am undone; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of hosts.
6 तब सराफहरूमध्ये एउटा उडेर मकहाँ आए । उनको हातमा बलिरहेको भुङ्‍ग्रो थियो, जसलाई उनले वेदीबाट चिम्टाले निकालेका थिए ।
And one of the seraphim flew unto me, and he had in his hand a glowing coal, which he had taken with the tongs from off 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 he made it touch my mouth, and said, Behold, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin expiated.
8 मैले परमप्रभुको यसो भन्‍ने आवाज सुनें, “म कसलाई पठाऊँ । हाम्रा निम्ति को जान्छ?” तब मैले भनें, “म यहाँ छु । मलाई पठाउनुहोस् ।”
And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send, and 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 said, Go; and thou shalt say unto this people, Hearing ye shall hear and shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see and shall not perceive.
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 heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and blind their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and healed.
11 तब मैले भने, “हे परमप्रभु, कहिलेसम्म?” उहाँले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “बासिन्दाविनाका भग्‍नावशेष सहरहरू ध्‍वस्‍त नहुन्‍जेल र मानिसविनाका घरहरू नहुन्‍जेल, र देश उजाड नहुन्‍जेल,
And I said, Lord, how long? And he said, Until the cities be wasted, without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land become an utter desolation,
12 अनि परमप्रभुले मानिसहरूलाई टाढा नपठाउन्‍जेल र देश ठुलो निर्जन नहुन्‍जेलसम्‍म ।
and Jehovah have removed men far away, and the solitude be great in the midst of the land.
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 ।”
But a tenth part shall still be therein, and it shall return and be eaten; as the terebinth and as the oak whose trunk [remaineth] after the felling: the holy seed shall be the trunk thereof.
