< यशैया 62 >
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 Sion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as light, and my salvation burn as a torch.
2 जातिहरूले तेरो धार्मिकता र राजाहरूले तेरो महिमा देख्नेछन् । परमप्रभुले चुन्नुहुने नयाँ नाउँले तँलाई बोलाइनेछ ।
And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and kings thy glory: and one shall call thee [by] a new name, which the Lord shall name.
3 परमप्रभुको हातमा तँ एउटा सुन्दरताको मुकुट र आफ्नो परमेश्वरको हातमा राजकीय मुकुट हुनेछस् ।
And thou shalt be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy 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 ।
And thou shalt no more be called Forsaken; and thy land shall no more be called Desert: for thou shalt be called My Pleasure, and thy land Inhabited: for the Lord has taken pleasure in thee, and thy land shall be inhabited.
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 ।
And as a young man lives with a virgin, so shall thy sons dwell in [thee]: and it shall come to pass [that] as a bridegroom will rejoice over a bride, so will the Lord rejoice over thee.
6 ए यरूशलेम, मैले तेरा पर्खालहरूमा रक्षकहरू राखेको छु । तिनीहरू दिनरात चुप बस्दैनन् । तिमीहरू जो परमप्रभुलाई पुकार्छौ, विश्राम नलेओ ।
And on thy walls, O Jerusalem, have I set watchmen all day and all night, who shall never cease making mention of the Lord.
7 उहाँले यरूशलेमलाई पुनःस्थापना गरेर र पृथ्वीमा यसलाई प्रशंसा नबनाएसम्म उहाँलाई विश्राम गर्न नदेओ ।
For there is none like you, when he shall have established, and made Jerusalem a praise on 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 ।
For the Lord has sworn by his glory, and by the might of his arm, I will no more give thy corn and thy provisions to thine enemies; nor shall strangers any more drink thy wine, for which thou has laboured.
9 कटनी गर्नेहरूले त्यो खानेछन् र पमरप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर्नेछन् । अनि दाख टिप्नेहरूले मेरो पवित्रस्थानको चोकमा दाखमद्य पिउनेछन् ।”
But they that have gathered them shall eat them, and they shall praise the Lord; and they that have gathered [the grapes] shall drink thereof 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 through my gates, and make a way for my people; and cast the stones out of the way; lift up a standard for the Gentiles.
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 ।”
For behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth, say ye to the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy Saviour has come to thee, having his reward and his work before his face.
12 तिनीहरूले तँलाई यसो भन्नेछन्, “पवित्र मानिसहरू । परमप्रभुले उद्धार गर्नुभएकाहरू,” अनि तँलाई “खोजिएको । नत्यागिएको सहर” भनिनेछ ।
And one shall call them the holy people, the redeemed of the Lord: and thou shalt be called a city sought out, and not forsaken.
