< यशैया 60 >
1 उठ्, प्रकाशमान् हो, किनकि तेरो प्रकाश आएको छ र परमप्रभुको महिमा तँमाथि उदाएको छ ।
Stand up and shine, for your light has come; the glory of the Lord has risen on you.
2 पृथ्वीलाई अँध्यारोले र जातिहरूलाई बाक्लो अँध्यारोले ढाके तापनि, परमप्रभु तँमाथि उदाउनुहुनेछ र उहाँको महिमा तँमा देखिनेछ ।
Even though darkness covers the earth, and deep darkness covers the people, the Lord has risen to shine on you, and his glory appears over you.
3 जातिहरू तेरो प्रकाशमा आउनेछन् र राजाहरू उदाउँदै गरेको तेरो चहकिलो प्रकाशमा आउनेछन् ।
Nations will come to your light, and kings will come to the brightness of your shining dawn.
4 वरिपरि चारैतिर हेर् र देख् । तिनीहरू सबै आफै भेला हुन्छन् र तँकहाँ आउँछन् । तेरा छोराहरू टाढाबाट आउनेछन् र तिनीहरूका हातले तेरी छोरीहरूलाई बोकेर ल्याउनेछन् ।
Look all around you, and see everyone gathering and coming to you—your sons returning from far away, your young daughters being carried on the hip.
5 तब तैंले हेर्नेछस्, प्रज्वलित हुनेछस्, तेरो हृदय आनन्दित हुनेछ र भरिएर पोखिनेछ, किनभने समुद्रको प्रशस्तता तँलाई खन्याइनेछ र जातिहरूका सम्पत्ति तँकहाँ आउनेछन् ।
Then you will see and shine brilliantly, your heart will beat wildly for joy, for the riches that cross the sea, the wealth of the nations, will be brought to you.
6 ऊँटका बथानहरू, मिद्यान र एपाका सवार गर्ने ऊँटहरूले तँलाई ढाक्नेछन् । ती सबै शेबाबाट आउनेछन् । तिनीहरूले सुन र धूप ल्याउनेछन् र परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गाउनेछन् ।
Long caravans of camels will cover the land, young camels of Midian and Ephah. All the people of Sheba will come to you carrying gold and frankincense, shouting praises to the Lord.
7 केदारका सबै भेडाबाख्रालाई तँकहाँ जम्मा पारिनेछन् । नबायोतका भेडाहरूले तेरो आवश्यक्ता पुरा गर्नेछन् । तिनीहरू मेरो वेदीमा स्वीकारयोग्य बलिदान हुनेछन् । अनि आफ्नो महिमित भवनलाई म महिमित बनाउनेछु ।
All the flocks of Kedar will be brought to you, the rams of Nebaioth will be placed at your disposal. I will accept them as they are sacrificed on my altar, and I will glorify the Temple where I'm honored.
8 बादलझैं र ढुकुरहरू आफ्ना गुँडहरूमा गएझैं उड्ने यी को हुन्?
What are these flying like a cloud, flying like pigeons returning to their roost?
9 समुद्र किनारहरूले मेरो खोजी गर्छन् । टाढाबाट परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वर र इस्राएलका परमपवित्रको निम्ति तिमीहरूका छोराहरूलाई आफूसँग भएका सुन र चाँदीसँगै ल्याउनलाई तर्शीशका जहाजहरूले नेतृत्व गर्छन्, किनभने उहाँले तँलाई इज्जत गर्नुभएको छ ।
Coming from the islands that trust in me, these are ships led by those of Tarshish, bringing your children home from far away, carrying with them silver and gold. They come to honor of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has made you glorious.
10 विदेशीहरूका छोराहरूले तेरा पर्खालहरू पुनःनिर्माण गर्नेछन् र तिनीहरूका राजाहरूले तेरो सेवा गर्नेछन् । मेरो क्रोधमा मैले तँलाई दण्ड दिए तापनि मेरो कृपामा म तँलाई दया देखाउनेछु ।
Foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings will work for you. Even though I did hit you when I was angry with you, now I will be kind and merciful to you.
11 तेरा ढोकाहरू पनि निरन्तर रूपमा खुला रहनेछ । ती दिन वा रात कहिल्यै बन्द गरिनेछैन, ताकि जातिहरूका सम्पत्ति तिनीहरूका राजाहरूलाई अगि राखेर ल्याउन सकियोस् ।
Your gates will always be kept open. They won't ever be shut, day or night, so the wealth of the nations can be brought to you, with their kings being led along in a procession.
12 वास्तवमा, तेरो सेवा नगर्ने जातिहरू र राज्यहरू नाश हुनेछन् । ती जातिहरू पुर्ण रूपमा नष्ट पारिनेछ ।
Any nation or kingdom that does not serve you will be completely destroyed.
13 लेबनानको महिमा तँकहा आउनेछ । सल्लो र धूपीका रूखहरू मेरो पवित्रस्थानलाई सुन्दर बनाउन आउनेछन् । अनि म मेरो पाउ राख्ने ठाउँलाई महिमित तुल्याउनेछु ।
The glory of Lebanon will come to you: cedars, acacias, and myrtle trees, to make my Temple beautiful and to honor the place I choose to live.
14 तँलाई तुच्छ पार्नेहरूका छोराहरू तँलाई दण्डवत गर्न आउनेछन् । तिनीहरूले तेरा पाउ ढोग्नेछन् । तिनीहरूले तँलाई परमप्रभुको सहर अर्थात् इस्राएलको परमपवित्रको सियोन भन्नेछन् ।
The children of those who persecuted you will come and bow before you; everyone who looked down on you will bow down at your feet and will call you the City of the Lord, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 तँबाट भएर कोही नहिंड्ने गरी त्यागिएको र घृणा गरिएको अवस्थामा रहनुको साटोमा, म तँलाई सदाको निम्ति गौरवको वस्तु, पुस्तादेखि पुस्तासम्मको निम्ति आनन्द बनाउनेछु ।
Once you were abandoned and despised, somewhere people didn't go, but now I will make you a place to be proud of forever, a joy to every generation.
16 तैंले जातिहरूको दूध पनि पिउनेछस् र राजहरूका दूध कानेछस् । म, परमप्रभु नै तेरो उद्धारक र मुक्तिदाता, याकूबको शक्तिशाली हुँ भन्ने तैंले जान्नेछस् ।
Nations will provide you with what you need, kings will take care of you as if you were their own children. You will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior and Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
17 काँसाको सट्टामा म सुन ल्याउनेछु, फलामको सट्टामा म चाँदी ल्याउनेछु । काठको साटो काँसा र ढङ्गाको साटो फलाम ल्याउनेछु । शन्तिलाई म तेरो गभर्नर र न्यायलाई तेरो शासक नियुक्त गर्नेछु ।
I will bring you gold instead of bronze, silver instead of iron, bronze instead of wood, and iron instead of stone. I will appoint Peace as your watchman, and Goodness as your leader.
18 तेरो देशमा हिंसा कदापि सुनिनेछैन, न त तेरो सिमानाभित्र विध्वांस वा तोडफोड सुनिनेछ, तर तैंले तेरा पर्खालहरूलाई मुक्ति र तेरा ढोकाहरूलाई प्रशंसा भन्नेछस् ।
There won't be any more violence in your land, no more devastation and destruction within your borders. You will call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
19 सूर्य दिनमा तेरो प्रकाश हुनेछैन, न त चन्द्रमाको उज्यालो तँमाथि चम्किनेछ । तर परमप्रभु नै तेरो अनन्तको प्रकाश र तेरो परमेश्वर नै तेरो महिमा हुनुहुनेछ ।
You won't need the light of the sun during the day, or the light of the moon at night, for the Lord your God will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.
20 तेरो सूर्य कहिल्यै अस्ताउनेछैन, न त तेरो चन्द्रमा पछि हट्ने र लोप हुनेछ । किनकि परमप्रभु नै तेरो अनन्तको प्रकाश हुनुहुनेछ र तेरा शोकका दिनहरू समाप्त हुनेछन् ।
Your sun will never set, and your moon will never wane, for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your time of mourning will end.
21 तेरा सबै मानिस धर्मी हुनेछन् । तिनीहरूले सदाको निम्ति देश अधिकार गर्नेछन् । म महिमित हुन सकूँ भनेर ती मैले रोपेका बिरुवाका हाँगा र मेरा हातका काम हुन् ।
All your people will be good, and they will own the land forever. They are the shoot I have planted with my hands, and they will reveal my glory.
22 थोरैचाहिं एक हजार हुनेछ, सानो एउटा पनि बलियो जाति हुनेछ । जब समय आउँछ, तब म, परमप्रभुले यी कुराहरू चाँडै नै पुरा गर्नेछु ।
The smallest of your families will increase to a thousand, and the most insignificant will become a great nation. I am the Lord; at the right time I will do this quickly.
