< 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 ।
And it came to pass in the year in which king Ozias died, [that] I saw the Lord sitting on a high and exalted throne, and the house was full of his glory.
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 ।
And seraphs stood round about him: each one had six wings: and with two they covered [their] face, and with two they covered [their] feet, and with two they flew.
3 प्रत्‍येकले अर्कोलाई बोलाउँथे र यसो भन्थे, “सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु पवित्र, पवित्र, पवित्र हुनुहुन्छ! सारा पृथ्वी उहाँको महिमाले भरिएको छ ।”
And one cried to the other, and they said, Holy, holy, holy [is the] Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
4 ती कराइरहेकाहरूको आवाजले सँघारका जगहरू हल्लिए र मन्‍दिर धूँवाले भरिएको थियो ।
And the lintel shook at the voice they uttered, 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, for I am pricked to the heart; for being a man, and having unclean lips, I dwell in the midst of a people having unclean lips; and I have seen with mine 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 there was sent to me one of the seraphs, and he had in his hand a coal, which he had taken off the altar with the tongs:
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 has touched your lips, and will take away your iniquities, and will purge off your sins.
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 to this people? And I said, behold, I am [here], send me. And he said, Go, and say to this people,
9 उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “जाऊ, यी मानिहरूलाई भन, 'सुन्‍छौ, तर बुझ्दैनौ । हेर्छौ, तर थाहा पाउँदैनौ ।'
You shall hear indeed, but you shall not understand; and you shall see indeed, but you 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 ।”
For the heart of this people has become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should 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 cities be deserted by reason of their not being inhabited, and the houses by reason of there being no men, and the land shall be left desolate.
12 अनि परमप्रभुले मानिसहरूलाई टाढा नपठाउन्‍जेल र देश ठुलो निर्जन नहुन्‍जेलसम्‍म ।
And after this God shall remove the men far off, and they that are left upon the land shall be multiplied.
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 yet there shall be a tenth upon it, and again it shall be for a spoil, as a turpentine tree, and as an acorn when it falls out of its husk.
