< यशैया 63 >
1 उहाँ को हुनुहुन्छ जो एदोमबाट, बोज्राबाट रातो पहिरनमा आउनुहुन्छ? जो आफ्नो महान् सामर्थ्यको कारणले राजकीय पोशाकमा रवाफका साथ आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ? धार्मिकतामा बोल्ने र बचाउनलाई शक्तिशाली रूपमा सक्षम म नै हुँ?
Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bosra, this beautiful one in his robe, walking in the greatness of his strength. I, that speak justice, and am a defender to save.
2 तपाईंका पोशाकहरू किन राता छन् र तपाईंले दाखको कोलमा दाख पेल्नुभएको जस्तो ती किन देखिन्छन्?
Why then is thy apparel red, and thy garments like theirs that tread in the winepress?
3 मैले दाखको कोलमा एक्लै दाख पेलेको छु, र जातिहरूबाट कोही पनि मसँग सहभागी भएनन् । मैले आफ्नो क्रोधमा तिनीहरूलाई पेलें र आफ्नो रिसमा तिनीहरूलाई कुल्चें । तिनीहरूका रगत मेरो लुगाहरूमा छ्यापिएका छन् र मेरा सबै लुगाहरूमा दाख लागेको छ ।
I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the Gentiles there is not a man with me: I have trampled on them in my indignation, and have trodden them down in my wrath, and their blood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my apparel.
4 किनकि मैले बदला लिने दिनको आशा गरें र मेरो उद्धारको वर्ष आइपुगेको थियो ।
For the day of vengeance is in my heart, the year of my redemption is come.
5 मैले हेरें र सहायता गर्ने कोही एक जना पनि थिएन । सहयता गर्नलाई त्यहाँ कोही एक जना पनि नभएको देखेर म छक्क परें, तर मेरो आफ्नै हातले मेरो निम्ति विजय ल्यायो र मेरो कडा रिसले मलाई डोर्यायो ।
I looked about, and there was none to help: I sought, and there was none to give aid: and my own arm hath saved for me, and my indignation itself hath helped me.
6 आफ्नो क्रोधमा मैले मानिसहरूलाई कुल्चें र तिनीहरूलाई मेरो क्रोधमा पिउन लगाएँ । अनि तिनीहरूका रगतलाई मैले पृथ्वीमा खन्याएँ ।
And I have trodden down the people in my wrath, and have made them drunk in my indignation, and have brought down their strength to the earth.
7 परमप्रभुको करारको विश्वस्तताका कामहरू र परमप्रभुको प्रशंसायोग्य कामहरू म भन्नेछु । परमप्रभुले हाम्रा निम्ति गर्नुभएको सबै काम र इस्राएलको घरानाप्रति उहाँका महान् भलाइको बारेमा म भन्नेछु । उहाँको दया र करारको विश्वस्तताका धेरै वटा कामहरूका कारणले उहाँले यो दया हामीलाई देखाउनुभएको छ ।
I will remember the tender mercies of the Lord, the praise of the Lord for all the things that the Lord hath bestowed upon us, and for the multitude of his good things to the house of Israel, which he hath given them according to his kindness, and according to the multitude of his mercies.
8 किनकि उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “निश्चय नै तिनीहरू मेरा मानिसहरू हुन्, छोराछोरी जो बेइमान छैनन् ।” उहाँ तिनीहरूका मुक्तिदाता हुनुभयो ।
And he said: Surely they are my people, children that will not deny: so he became their saviour.
9 तिनीहरूका सबै कष्टहरूद्वारा उहाँले पनि कष्ट भोग्नुभयो, र उहाँको उपस्थितिको स्वर्गदूतले तिनीहरूलाई बचायो । आफ्नो प्रेम र दयामा उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई बचाउनुभयो र उहाँले तिनिहरूलाई माथि उठाउनुभयो र सारा प्राचीन समयभरि तिनीहरूलाई बोक्नुभयो ।
In all their affliction he was not troubled, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love, and in his mercy he redeemed them, and he carried them and lifted them up all the days of old.
10 तर तिनीहरूले विद्रोह गरे र पवित्र आत्मालाई दुःखी तुल्याए । यसरी उहाँ तिनीहरूका शत्रु हुनुभयो र तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्नुभयो ।
But they provoked to wrath, and afflicted the spirit of his Holy One: and he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.
11 उहाँका मानिसहरूले मोशाको प्राचीन समयको बारेमा विचार गरे । तिनीहरूले भने, “परमेश्वर कहाँ हुनुहुन्छ जसले आफ्ना बथानका गोठालाहरूसँगै तिनीहरूलाई समुद्रबाट ल्याउनुभयो? परमेश्वर कहाँ हुनुहुन्छ जसले आफ्नो पवित्र आत्मा तिनीहरूका बिचमा राख्नुभयो?
And he remembered the days of old of Moses, and of his people: Where is he that brought them up out of the sea, with the shepherds of his flock? where is he that put in the midst of them the spirit of his Holy One?
12 परमेश्वर कहाँ हुनुहुन्छ जसले मोशाको दाहिने हातसँगै आफ्नो महिमित शक्ति जान दिनुभयो र आफ्नो निम्ति अनन्तको नाउँ बनाउन तिनीहरूका सामु भएको पानीलाई विभाजन गर्नुभयो?
He that brought out Moses by the right hand, by the arm of his majesty: that divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name.
13 परमेश्वर कहाँ हुनुहुन्छ जसले तिनीहरूलाई गहिरो पानीबाट डोर्याउनुभयो? मैदानमा घोडा दौडेझैं, तिनीहरूले ठेस खाएनन् ।
He that led them out through the deep, as a horse in the wilderness that stumbleth not.
14 गाइवस्तु बेसीमा झरेझैं, परमप्रभुको आत्माले तिनीहरूलाई विश्राम दिनुभयो । यसरी आफ्नो निम्ति प्रशंसाको नाउँ बनाउनलाई तपाईंले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई डोर्याउनुभयो?
As a beast that goeth down in the field, the spirit of the Lord was their leader: so didst thou lead thy people to make thyself a glorious name.
15 स्वर्गबाट तल हेर्नुहोस् र आफ्नो पवित्र र महिमित वासस्थानबाट दृष्टि लगाउनुहोस् । तपाईंको जोश र तपाईंको शक्तिशाली कामहरू कहाँ छन्? तपाईंको दया र तपाईंको कृपापुर्ण कामहरू हामीबाट अलग राखिएका छन् ।
Look down from heaven, and behold from thy holy habitation and the place of thy glory: where is thy zeal, and thy strength, the multitude of thy bowels, and of thy mercies? they have held back themselves from me.
16 किनकि तपाईं हाम्रा पिता हुनुहुन्छ । अब्राहामले हामीलाई नचिने र इस्राएलले हामीलाई नचिने तापनि, तपाईं परमप्रभु हाम्रो पिता हुनुहुन्छ । प्राचीन समयदेखि तपाईंको नाउँ 'हाम्रा उद्धारक' हो ।
For thou art our father, and Abraham hath not known us, and Israel hath been ignorant of us: thou, O Lord, art our father, our redeemer, from everlasting is thy name.
17 हे परमप्रभु, हामीलाई किन तपाईंको मार्गहरूबाट तर्कने र हाम्रा हृदयहरूलाई कठोर पार्ने बनाउनुहुन्छ, यसैले हामीले तपाईंका आज्ञा पालन गर्दैनौं? तपाईंको सेवक, तपाईंको उत्तराधिकारका कुलहरूका निम्ति फर्कनुहोस् ।
Why hast thou made us to err, O Lord, from thy ways: why hast thou hardened our heart, that we should not fear thee? return for the sake of thy servants, the tribes of thy inheritance.
18 तपाईंका मानिसहरूले तपाईंको पवित्र ठाउँलाई छोटो समय अधिकार गरे, तर हाम्रा शत्रुहरूले त्यसलाई कुल्चे ।
They have possessed thy holy people as nothing: our enemies have trodden down thy sanctuary.
19 हामी त तपाईंले हामीमाथि कहिल्यै शासन नगर्नुभएजस्तो र तपाईंको नाउँद्वारा कहिल्यै नबोलाइएजस्तै भएका छौं।”
We are become as in the beginning, when thou didst not rule over us, and when we were not called by thy name.
