यशैया 61
1 परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको आत्मा ममाथि हुनुहुन्छ, किनभने कष्टमा परेकाहरूलाई सुसमाचार घोषणा गर्न परमप्रभुले मलाई अभिषेक गर्नुभएको छ । तोडिएका हृदय भएकाहरूलाई निको पार्न, कैदीहरूलाई छुटकाराको घोषणा गर्न र बन्धनमा परेकाहरूलाई कैदबाट छुटकारा दिन उहाँले मलाई पठाउनुभएको छ ।
The Spirit of Yahweh [our] Lord is on me; he has appointed [MTY] me to bring good news to those who are oppressed, to comfort those who are discouraged, to free [all] those who are [as though they are chained/tied] [DOU] [by the wrong things that they continually do].
2 परमप्रभुको कृपाको वर्ष, हाम्रा परमेश्वरको बदलाको दिनको घोषणा गर्न र शोक गर्नेहरू सबैलाई सान्त्वना दिन उहाँले मलाई पठाउनुभएको छ ।
He has sent me to tell those who mourn [about the members of their families who died] (OR, [who are still in Babylonia)] that now is the time when Yahweh will act kindly [toward his people]; now is the time when our God will (get revenge on/punish) [their enemies].
3 सियोनमा शोक गर्नेहरू, तिनीहरूलाई खरानीको सट्टामा एउटा मुकुट, शोकको सट्टामा आनन्दको तेल, निराशाको आत्माको सट्टामा प्रशंसाको आवरण दिन, तिनीहरूलाई धर्मिकताका फलाँटहरू, परमप्रभुको बिरुवा भन्न उहाँले मलाई पठाउनुभएको छ, ताकि उहाँलाई नै महिमा होस् ।
To [all] those in Jerusalem who mourn, he will give flower necklaces [to wear]; instead of ashes [that they put on their heads to show that they are sad]; he will cause them to rejoice [MTY] instead of being sad; he will enable them to be [MET] happy instead of being discouraged. They will be called “people who continually do what is right, people who are [like tall/strong] oak [trees] that Yahweh has planted” to show others that he is very great.
4 तिनीहरूले प्राचीन भग्नावशेषहरूको पुनःनिर्माण गर्नेछन् । तिनीहरूले पहिलेका उजाड अवस्थाहरूबाट पुनर्स्थापना गर्नेछन् । तिनीहरूले भग्नावशेष भएका सहरहरू र पुरानो पुस्ताका उजाड अवस्थाहरूबाट पुनर्स्थापना गर्नेछन् ।
[Those who return from Babylon] will rebuild the cities that [the soldiers from Babylon] tore down. [Even though] those cities have been destroyed and abandoned for many years, they will be restored/rebuilt.
5 विदेशीहरू खडा हुनेछन् र तिमीहरूका भेडाबाख्रा चराउनेछन्, र विदेशीका छोराहरूले तिमीहरूका खेतबारी र दाखबारीहरूमा काम गर्नेछन् ।
Foreigners will be the ones who will take care of your flocks [of sheep and goats], and plow your fields and take care of your grapevines.
6 तिमीहरूलाई परमप्रभुको पुजारीहरू भनिनेछ । तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई हाम्रा परमेश्वरका सेवकहरू भन्नेछन् । तिमीहरूले जातिहरूकि सम्पत्ति खानेछौ र तिनीहरूका धनहरूमा तिमीहरूले गर्व गर्नेछौ ।
But you [are the ones who] will be like the priests to serve Yahweh, to work for God. You will enjoy valuable goods [that are brought] from other nations, and you will be happy that those things have become yours.
7 तिमीहरूको शर्मको साटोमा तिमीहरूले दोब्बर पाउनेछौ । अनि अपमनाको साटोमा तिनीहरू आफ्ना अंशमा आनन्दित हुनेछन् । यसरी तिनीहरूले आफ्नो देशको दोब्बर अंश पाउनेछन् । अनन्तको आनन्द तिनीहरूकै हुनेछ ।
Previously you were shamed and disgraced, but now you will have great blessings; previously [your enemies] humbled you, but now you will have many good things; you will be happy because of being in your land again, and you will rejoice forever.
8 किनकि म परमप्रभुले न्यान मन पराउँछु र म डकैती र अन्यायलाई घृणा गर्छु । तिनीहरूलाई इमानदार भएर म प्रतिफल दिनेछु र तिनीहरूसित म अनन्तको करार बाँध्नेछु ।
“I, Yahweh, am very pleased with those/judges who decide matters fairly; I hate [those who illegally] take things from other people. I will surely repay my people (for/because of) all that they have suffered [in the past]. And I will make an everlasting agreement with them.
9 तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरू जातिहरूका माझमा र तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरू मानिसहरूका बिचमा चिनिनेछन् । तिनीहरूलाई देख्ने सबैले तिनीहरू परमप्रभुले आशिष् दिनुभएका मानिसहरू हुन् भनी स्वीकार गर्नेछन् ।
Their descendants will be honored by people of other nations [DOU]. Everyone who sees them will know that they are a nation that [I], Yahweh, have blessed.”
10 परप्रभुमा म अत्यन्तै आनन्दित हुनेछु । मेरो परमेश्वरमा म धैरै खुसी हुनेछु । किनकि उहाँले मलाई उद्धारको पोशाक लगाउनुभएको छ । उहाँले मलाई धार्मिकताको वस्त्रले ढाक्नुभएको छ, जसरी एउटा दुलहाले आफूलाई मुकुटले सजाउँछ र एउटी दुलहीले आफूलाई गहनाहरूले सजाउँछे ।
I greatly rejoice because of what Yahweh [has done]! I am happy, because he has saved me and declared that I am righteous; [those blessings are like] [MET] a robe that he has put on me. I am [as happy as] [SIM] a bridegroom in his wedding suit, or a bride wearing jewels.
11 किनकि जसरी पृथ्वीले आफ्ना बिरुवाहरू उमार्छ र जसरी बगैंचाले त्यसका बिरुवाहरू बढाउँछ, त्यसरी नै पमरमप्रभु परमेश्वरले सबै जातिहरूका सामु धार्मिकता र प्रशंसा निस्कने बनाउनुहुनेछ ।
Just as [seeds sown in] a garden sprout from the soil and grow [DOU], Yahweh [our] God will cause [people of] all nations to act righteously, with the result that they will praise him for doing that.
