< 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 in which King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne high and lifted up, 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 ।
Around him stood seraphs; each one of them had six wings; with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he did fly.
3 प्रत्‍येकले अर्कोलाई बोलाउँथे र यसो भन्थे, “सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु पवित्र, पवित्र, पवित्र हुनुहुन्छ! सारा पृथ्वी उहाँको महिमाले भरिएको छ ।”
And one called to another, 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 were shaken with the voice of their cry. 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, Alas for me! I am undone! For I am a man of unclean lips, and dwell among a people of unclean lips, and 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 ।
Then flew one of the seraphs to me, having in his hands a glowing stone, which he had taken with the 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 he touched my mouth, and said, Behold, this toucheth thy lips, and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin is 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: Behold, here am I; send me!
9 उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “जाऊ, यी मानिहरूलाई भन, 'सुन्‍छौ, तर बुझ्दैनौ । हेर्छौ, तर थाहा पाउँदैनौ ।'
And he said: Go, and say thou to this people, Hear ye, indeed, but understand not; See ye, indeed, but perceive 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 ।”
Make the heart of this people gross; Make their ears dull, and blind their eyes; That they may not see with their eyes, nor hear with their ears, Nor perceive 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 said I, How long, Lord? He said: Until the cities be laid waste, so that there be no inhabitant, And the houses, so that there be no man, And the land be left utterly desolate;
12 अनि परमप्रभुले मानिसहरूलाई टाढा नपठाउन्‍जेल र देश ठुलो निर्जन नहुन्‍जेलसम्‍म ।
Until Jehovah have removed the men far away, And there be great desolation in 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 ।”
And though there be a tenth part remaining in it, Even this shall again be destroyed; Yet as when the terebinth and the oak are cut down, Their stem remaineth alive, So shall a holy race be the stem of the nation.
