< 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 in majesty on a high throne, 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 ।
Seraphim stood above him, and each of them had six wings: They used two wings to cover their faces, two to cover their feet, and two to fly.
3 प्रत्‍येकले अर्कोलाई बोलाउँथे र यसो भन्थे, “सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु पवित्र, पवित्र, पवित्र हुनुहुन्छ! सारा पृथ्वी उहाँको महिमाले भरिएको छ ।”
They were calling out to one another: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; his glory fills the whole earth.
4 ती कराइरहेकाहरूको आवाजले सँघारका जगहरू हल्लिए र मन्‍दिर धूँवाले भरिएको थियो ।
The sound of their shouts made the doorposts and doorsteps shake, 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!”
I cried out, “I'm doomed! I'm going to die because I'm a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, for I've seen the King, the Lord Almighty!”
6 तब सराफहरूमध्ये एउटा उडेर मकहाँ आए । उनको हातमा बलिरहेको भुङ्‍ग्रो थियो, जसलाई उनले वेदीबाट चिम्टाले निकालेका थिए ।
Then one of the seraphim flew over to me. He was holding a glowing coal that he had picked up 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 ।”
He touched me on my mouth with it and told me, “Look! This has touched your lips, so now your guilt is taken away and your sin is forgiven.”
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 Lord asking, “Who shall I send? Who will go and speak for us?” So I said, “I'm here! Please send me!”
9 उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “जाऊ, यी मानिहरूलाई भन, 'सुन्‍छौ, तर बुझ्दैनौ । हेर्छौ, तर थाहा पाउँदैनौ ।'
He replied, “Go and tell this people: ‘Keep on listening, but never understanding. Keep on seeing, but never comprehending.’
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 minds of this people insensitive; make their ears deaf and shut their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their minds, and repent 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 will this last, Lord?” He replied, “Until towns are ruined and empty, houses are abandoned, and the land is devastated and destroyed;
12 अनि परमप्रभुले मानिसहरूलाई टाढा नपठाउन्‍जेल र देश ठुलो निर्जन नहुन्‍जेलसम्‍म ।
until the Lord sends the people far away and the country is totally deserted.
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 ।”
Even though a tenth of the population remains in the land, it will be destroyed again. But in the same way as the terebinth and oak trees leave stumps when they're cut down, so the holy seed will remain as stump.”
