< 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 Ozias died, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne high and elevated: 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 ।
Upon it stood the seraphims: the one had six wings, and the other had six wings: with two they covered his face, and with two they covered his feet, and with two they hew.
3 प्रत्येकले अर्कोलाई बोलाउँथे र यसो भन्थे, “सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु पवित्र, पवित्र, पवित्र हुनुहुन्छ! सारा पृथ्वी उहाँको महिमाले भरिएको छ ।”
And they cried one to another, and said: Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God of hosts, all the earth is full of his glory.
4 ती कराइरहेकाहरूको आवाजले सँघारका जगहरू हल्लिए र मन्दिर धूँवाले भरिएको थियो ।
And the lintels of the doors were moved 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 is me, because I have held my peace; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people that hath unclean lips, and I have seen with my eyes the King the Lord of hosts.
6 तब सराफहरूमध्ये एउटा उडेर मकहाँ आए । उनको हातमा बलिरहेको भुङ्ग्रो थियो, जसलाई उनले वेदीबाट चिम्टाले निकालेका थिए ।
And one of the seraphims flew to me, and in his hand was a live coal, which he had taken with the tongs 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 touched my mouth, and said: Behold this hath touched thy lips, and thy iniquities shall be taken away, and thy sin shall be cleansed.
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 shall go for us? And I said: Lo, 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 to this people: Hearing, hear, and understand not: and see the vision, and know it not.
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 ।”
Blind the heart of this people, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes: lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted and I heal them.
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: How long, O Lord? And he said: Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land shall be left desolate.
12 अनि परमप्रभुले मानिसहरूलाई टाढा नपठाउन्जेल र देश ठुलो निर्जन नहुन्जेलसम्म ।
And the Lord shall remove men far away, and she shall be multiplied that was left in the midst of the earth.
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 there shall be still a tithing therein, and she shall turn, and shall be made a show as a turpentine tree, and as an oak that spreadeth its branches: that which shall stand therein, shall be a holy seed.
