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 coming in from Edom With bright-red garments, from Bozrah? This made splendid in his raiment, Marching on in the greatness of his strength? I, speaking in righteousness, Mighty to save.
2 तपाईंका पोशाकहरू किन राता छन् र तपाईंले दाखको कोलमा दाख पेल्नुभएको जस्तो ती किन देखिन्‍छन्?
Wherefore is there red, on thy raiment, —And thy garments as of one treading in a wine-trough?
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 ।
A winepress, have I trodden, alone, And of the peoples, there was no man with me. So I trod them down in mine anger, And trampled upon them, in mine indignation, —And their life-blood besprinkled my garments, And all mine apparel, I defiled;
4 किनकि मैले बदला लिने दिनको आशा गरें र मेरो उद्धारको वर्ष आइपुगेको थियो ।
For, a day of avenging, was in my heart, And the year of my redeemed, had 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 ।
Therefore looked I around, and there was none to help, —And I was astonished that there was none to uphold, —So, mine own arm brought me salvation, And mine indignation, the same upheld me;
6 आफ्‍नो क्रोधमा मैले मानिसहरूलाई कुल्चें र तिनीहरूलाई मेरो क्रोधमा पिउन लगाएँ । अनि तिनीहरूका रगतलाई मैले पृथ्वीमा खन्याएँ ।
Then trod I down peoples in mine anger, And make them drunk with mine indignation, And brought down to the earth their life-blood.
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 ।
The lovingkindness of Yahweh, will I recall the praises of Yahweh, According to all that Yahweh hath bestowed upon us, —Even the abundance of goodness to the house of Israel, Which he bestowed upon them—According to his compassions and According to the abundance of his lovingkindness.
8 किनकि उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “निश्‍चय नै तिनीहरू मेरा मानिसहरू हुन्, छोराछोरी जो बेइमान छैनन् ।” उहाँ तिनीहरूका मुक्‍तिदाता हुनुभयो ।
Therefore he said—Surely my people, they are, Sons, they will not act falsely! 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 afflicted And the messenger of his presence saved them, In his love and in his pity, he, redeemed them, —And then lifted them up and carried them all the days of the age-past time.
10 तर तिनीहरूले विद्रोह गरे र पवित्र आत्मालाई दुःखी तुल्याए । यसरी उहाँ तिनीहरूका शत्रु हुनुभयो र तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्नुभयो ।
But, they, rebelled, and grieved his Holy Spirit, —And so he turned against them as an enemy, he himself, 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?
Then were recalled the days of the age-past time Moses—his people: —Where is he that led them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he that put within him his Holy Spirit?
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?
That caused to go at the right hand of Moses his own majestic arm, —Cleaving the waters from before them, To make himself an age-abiding name:
13 परमेश्‍वर कहाँ हुनुहुन्छ जसले तिनीहरूलाई गहिरो पानीबाट डोर्‍याउनुभयो? मैदानमा घोडा दौडेझैं, तिनीहरूले ठेस खाएनन् ।
Causing them to go through the roaring deeps, —Like a horse through the wilderness, That they should not stumble?
14 गाइवस्तु बेसीमा झरेझैं, परमप्रभुको आत्माले तिनीहरूलाई विश्राम दिनुभयो । यसरी आफ्‍नो निम्‍ति प्रशंसाको नाउँ बनाउनलाई तपाईंले आफ्‍ना मानिसहरूलाई डोर्‍याउनुभयो?
As a beast, into the valley, goeth down, The Spirit of Yahweh, causeth him to rest, So, didst thou lead thy people, To make thyself a majestic 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 thou down, out of the heavens and see, Out of the high abode of thy holiness and of thy majesty, —Where are thy jealousy, and thy mighty deeds? The resounding of thy yearning affection, and thy compassions towards me, are they restrained?
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, Though, Abraham, knew us not, And Israel could not acknowledge us, —Thou, O Yahweh, art our father, Our Redeemer from the Age-past time, 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 ।
Wherefore shouldst thou suffer us to wander O Yahweh, from thy ways? Wherefore shouldst thou let us harden our heart past revering thee? Return thou for the sake of Thy servants, The tribes thou thyself hast inherited.
18 तपाईंका मानिसहरूले तपाईंको पवित्र ठाउँलाई छोटो समय अधिकार गरे, तर हाम्रा शत्रुहरूले त्‍यसलाई कुल्चे ।
For a short time only, did thy holy people hold possession, —Our adversaries, trod down thy sanctuary!
19 हामी त तपाईंले हामीमाथि कहिल्यै शासन नगर्नुभएजस्तो र तपाईंको नाउँद्वारा कहिल्यै नबोलाइएजस्तै भएका छौं।”
We have become like those Over whom from age-past times, thou hast not ruled, Who have never been called by thy name!
