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 will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burns.
2 जातिहरूले तेरो धार्मिकता र राजाहरूले तेरो महिमा देख्‍नेछन् । परमप्रभुले चुन्‍नुहुने नयाँ नाउँले तँलाई बोलाइनेछ ।
And the Gentiles shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory: and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.
3 परमप्रभुको हातमा तँ एउटा सुन्दरताको मुकुट र आफ्‍नो परमेश्‍वरको हातमा राजकीय मुकुट हुनेछस् ।
You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand 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 ।
You shall no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah: for the LORD delights in you, and your land shall be married.
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 virgin, so shall your sons marry you: and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.
6 ए यरूशलेम, मैले तेरा पर्खालहरूमा रक्षकहरू राखेको छु । तिनीहरू दिनरात चुप बस्दैनन् । तिमीहरू जो परमप्रभुलाई पुकार्छौ, विश्राम नलेओ ।
I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: you that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,
7 उहाँले यरूशलेमलाई पुनःस्थापना गरेर र पृथ्वीमा यसलाई प्रशंसा नबनाएसम्म उहाँलाई विश्राम गर्न नदेओ ।
And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in 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 the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give your corn to be meat for your enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink your wine, for the which you have labored:
9 कटनी गर्नेहरूले त्‍यो खानेछन् र पमरप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर्नेछन् । अनि दाख टिप्‍नेहरूले मेरो पवित्रस्थानको चोकमा दाखमद्य पिउनेछन् ।”
But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
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, go through the gates; prepare you the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.
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 end of the world, Say you to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation comes; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
12 तिनीहरूले तँलाई यसो भन्‍नेछन्, “पवित्र मानिसहरू । परमप्रभुले उद्धार गर्नुभएकाहरू,” अनि तँलाई “खोजिएको । नत्यागिएको सहर” भनिनेछ ।
And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and you shall be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
