< यशैया 60 >

1 उठ्, प्रकाशमान् हो, किनकि तेरो प्रकाश आएको छ र परमप्रभुको महिमा तँमाथि उदाएको छ ।
“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the LORD’s glory has risen on you!
2 पृथ्वीलाई अँध्यारोले र जातिहरूलाई बाक्‍लो अँध्यारोले ढाके तापनि, परमप्रभु तँमाथि उदाउनुहुनेछ र उहाँको महिमा तँमा देखिनेछ ।
For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you.
3 जातिहरू तेरो प्रकाशमा आउनेछन् र राजाहरू उदाउँदै गरेको तेरो चहकिलो प्रकाशमा आउनेछन् ।
Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
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 ।
“Lift up your eyes all around, and see: they all gather themselves together. They come to you. Your sons will come from far away, and your daughters will be carried in arms.
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 shall see and be radiant, and your heart will thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you. The wealth of the nations will come 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 ।
A multitude of camels will cover you, the dromedaries of Midian and Efah. All from Sheba will come. They will bring gold and frankincense, and will proclaim the praises of 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 gathered together to you. The rams of Nebaioth will serve you. They will be accepted as offerings on my altar; and I will beautify my glorious house.
8 बादलझैं र ढुकुरहरू आफ्‍ना गुँडहरूमा गएझैं उड्ने यी को हुन्?
“Who are these who fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
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 ।
Surely the islands will wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from far away, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has glorified you.
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 build up your walls, and their kings will serve you; for in my wrath I struck you, but in my favor I have had mercy on 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 also shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night, that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive.
12 वास्तवमा, तेरो सेवा नगर्ने जातिहरू र राज्यहरू नाश हुनेछन् । ती जातिहरू पुर्ण रूपमा नष्‍ट पारिनेछ ।
For that nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; yes, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
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 shall come to you, the cypress tree, the pine, and the box tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
14 तँलाई तुच्छ पार्नेहरूका छोराहरू तँलाई दण्डवत गर्न आउनेछन् । तिनीहरूले तेरा पाउ ढोग्‍नेछन् । तिनीहरूले तँलाई परमप्रभुको सहर अर्थात् इस्राएलको परमपवित्रको सियोन भन्‍नेछन् ।
The sons of those who afflicted you will come bowing to you; and all those who despised you will bow themselves down at the soles of your feet. They will call you the LORD’s City, the 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 ।
“Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, so that no one passed through you, I will make you an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.
16 तैंले जातिहरूको दूध पनि पिउनेछस् र राजहरूका दूध कानेछस् । म, परमप्रभु नै तेरो उद्धारक र मुक्‍तिदाता, याकूबको शक्तिशाली हुँ भन्‍ने तैंले जान्‍नेछस् ।
You will also drink the milk of the nations, and will nurse from royal breasts. Then you will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior, your 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 ।
For bronze I will bring gold; for iron I will bring silver; for wood, bronze, and for stones, iron. I will also make peace your governor, and righteousness your ruler.
18 तेरो देशमा हिंसा कदापि सुनिनेछैन, न त तेरो सिमानाभित्र विध्वांस वा तोडफोड सुनिनेछ, तर तैंले तेरा पर्खालहरूलाई मुक्‍ति र तेरा ढोकाहरूलाई प्रशंसा भन्‍नेछस् ।
Violence shall no more be heard in your land, nor desolation or destruction within your borders; but 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 ।
The sun will be no more your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon give light to you, but the LORD 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 not go down any more, nor will your moon withdraw itself; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and the days of your 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 ।
Then your people will all be righteous. They will inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
22 थोरैचाहिं एक हजार हुनेछ, सानो एउटा पनि बलियो जाति हुनेछ । जब समय आउँछ, तब म, परमप्रभुले यी कुराहरू चाँडै नै पुरा गर्नेछु ।
The little one will become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation. I, the LORD, will do this quickly in its time.”
