1 किनकि सियोनको खातिर चूप लाग्‍नेछैन र यरूशलेमको खातिर म मौन रहनेछैन, जबसम्‍म त्यसको धार्मिकता चहकिलो रूपमा बढ्‍दैन र त्यसको उद्धार दन्केको एउटा राँकोझैं हुँदैन ।
For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep still, until her righteousness shines like a bright light, her salvation like a blazing torch.
2 जातिहरूले तेरो धार्मिकता र राजाहरूले तेरो महिमा देख्‍नेछन् । परमप्रभुले चुन्‍नुहुने नयाँ नाउँले तँलाई बोलाइनेछ ।
Nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will bestow.
3 परमप्रभुको हातमा तँ एउटा सुन्दरताको मुकुट र आफ्‍नो परमेश्‍वरको हातमा राजकीय मुकुट हुनेछस् ।
You will be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, a royal diadem in the palm of your God.
4 तेरो बारेमा कदापि “त्यागिएकी” भनिनेछैनस् । न त तेरो देशलाई फेरि कहिलै “उजाडिएको” भनिनेछ । तँलाई साँच्‍चै, “त्‍योसँग म खुसी छु” र तेरो देशलाई “विवाहित” भनिनेछ, किनकि परमप्रभु तँमा खुसी हुनुहुन्छ र तेरो देश विवाहित हुनेछ ।
No longer will you be called Forsaken, nor your land named Desolate; but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be His bride.
5 साँच्‍चै एक जना जवान मानिसले जवान स्‍त्रीलाई विवाह गरेझैं, तेरा छोराहरूले तँलाई विवाह गर्नेछन् । अनि एक जना दुलहा आफ्‍नी दुलहीसँग आनन्‍दित भएझैं तेरा परमेश्‍वर तँसित आनन्‍दित हुनुहुनेछ ।
For as a young man marries a young woman, so your sons will marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you.
6 ए यरूशलेम, मैले तेरा पर्खालहरूमा रक्षकहरू राखेको छु । तिनीहरू दिनरात चुप बस्दैनन् । तिमीहरू जो परमप्रभुलाई पुकार्छौ, विश्राम नलेओ ।
On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD shall take no rest for yourselves,
7 उहाँले यरूशलेमलाई पुनःस्थापना गरेर र पृथ्वीमा यसलाई प्रशंसा नबनाएसम्म उहाँलाई विश्राम गर्न नदेओ ।
nor give Him any rest until He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.
8 परमप्रभुले आफ्नो दाहिने बाहुली र आफ्नो सामर्थ्यद्वारा शपथ खानुभएको छ, “निश्‍चय नै तेरो अन्‍न तेरो शत्रुहरूलाई म फेरि दिनेछैन । विदेशीहरूले तेरो नयाँ दाखमद्य पिउनेछैनन्, जसको निम्ति तैंले काम गरेको छस् ।
The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty arm: “Never again will I give your grain to your enemies for food, nor will foreigners drink the new wine for which you have toiled.
9 कटनी गर्नेहरूले त्‍यो खानेछन् र पमरप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर्नेछन् । अनि दाख टिप्‍नेहरूले मेरो पवित्रस्थानको चोकमा दाखमद्य पिउनेछन् ।”
For those who harvest grain will eat it and praise the LORD, and those who gather grapes will drink the wine in My holy courts.”
10 ढोकाबाट आओ, ढोकाबाट आओ! मानिसहरूको निम्ति बाटो तयार पार! यसलाई निर्माण गर, मुल बाटो बनाओ! ढुङ्गाहरू बटुल! जातिहरूको निम्ति संकेतको झन्डा उठाओ ।
Go out, go out through the gates; prepare the way for the people! Build it up, build up the highway; clear away the stones; raise a banner for the nations!
11 हेर, परमप्रभुले पृथ्वीको अन्तिम छेउसम्म घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, “सियोनकी छोरीलाई भनः हेर्, तेरो मुक्‍तिदाता आउँदैहुनुहुन्छ । हेर्, उहाँको इनाम उहाँसँगै छ र उहाँको प्रतिफल उहाँको अघि जाँदैछ ।”
Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the ends of the earth, “Say to Daughter Zion: See, your Savior comes! Look, His reward is with Him, and His recompense goes before Him.”
12 तिनीहरूले तँलाई यसो भन्‍नेछन्, “पवित्र मानिसहरू । परमप्रभुले उद्धार गर्नुभएकाहरू,” अनि तँलाई “खोजिएको । नत्यागिएको सहर” भनिनेछ ।
And they will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of The LORD; and you will be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.
