< यशैया 64 >

1 ओहो, तपाईंले आकाशलाई चिरेर खोल्‍नुभएको र तल आउनुभएको भए त हुन्थ्यो! तपाईंको उपस्थितिमा पहाडहरू काम्‍ने थिए,
OH that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,
2 जसरी आगोले अम्रिसो जलाउँछ वा आगोले पानी उमाल्छ । ओहो, तपाईंका विरोधीहरूले तपाईंको नाउँ जानेको भए त, तपाईंको उपस्थितिमा जातिहरू काम्‍ने थिए ।
As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!
3 पहिले हामीले आशा नै नगरेको अचम्मका कामहरू तपाईंले गर्नुहुँदा, तपाईं तल आउनुभयो र तपाईंको उपस्थितिमा पहडाहरू कामे ।
When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.
4 प्रचीन समयदेखि नै कसैले पनि सुनेको वा देखेको छैनन्, न त आँखाले तपाईंबाहेक अरू कुनै परमेश्‍वरलाई देखेको छन्, जसले आफ्‍नो आशा गर्नेहरूका निम्ति कामहरू गर्नुहुन्‍छ ।
For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
5 जे ठिक छ त्यो गर्न खुसी हुने, तपाईंका मार्गहरू मनमा याद गर्ने र तिनीहरूलाई पालन गर्नेहरूलाई सहायता गर्न तपाईं आउनुहुन्छ । हामीले पाप गर्दा तपाईं रिसाउनुभयो । तपाईंका मर्गहरूमा हामी सधैं बचाइनेछौं।
Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
6 किनकि हामी सबै अशुद्धझैं भएका छौं र हाम्रा सबै धार्मिक कामहरू महिनावारीको कपडाझैं भएका छन् । हामी सबै पातहरू झैं ओइलाएका छौं । हावाले झैं हाम्रा अपराधहरूले हामीलाई उडाएर दलान्छन् ।
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
7 तपाईंको नाउँ पुकार्ने कोही छैन, तपाईंलाई समात्‍ने कोसिस गर्ने कोही छैन । किनकि तपाईंले हामीबाट आफ्‍नो अनुहार लुकाउनुभएको छ र हाम्रा अधर्महरूका हातमा हामीलाई बेकम्‍मा बनाउनुभएको छ ।
And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.
8 तापनि, हे परमप्रभु, तपाईं हाम्रा पिता हुनुहुन्छ । हामी माटो हौं । तपाईं हाम्रो कुमाले हुनुहुन्छ । अनि हामी सबै तपाईंको हातका काम हौं ।
But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
9 हे परमप्रभु, हामीसँग नरिसाउनुहोस्, न त तपाईंको मनमा हाम्रो विरुद्धमा निनुहोस् । कृपया हामी तपाईंका मानिसहरूलाई हेर्नुहोस् ।
Be not wroth very sore, O Lord, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.
10 तपाईंका पवित्र सहरहरू उजाड-स्थान भएका छन् । सियोन उजाड-स्थान, यरूशलेम निर्जन भएको छ ।
Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
11 हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले तपाईंको प्रशंसा गरेको हाम्रो पवित्र र सुन्दर मन्दिर आगोले नष्‍ट भएको छ र ज्‍यादै प्रिय कुराहरू सबै भग्‍नावशेष भएका छन् ।
Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
12 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईं कसरी अझै पछि हट्‍नुहुन्छ? तपाईं कसरी शान्‍त बस्‍न र हामीलाई निरन्तर अपमानित हुन हुन दिनुहुन्छ?”
Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O Lord? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
