< यशैया 64 >
1 ओहो, तपाईंले आकाशलाई चिरेर खोल्नुभएको र तल आउनुभएको भए त हुन्थ्यो! तपाईंको उपस्थितिमा पहाडहरू काम्ने थिए,
If you would open the heaven, trembling will take hold upon the mountains from you, and they shall melt,
2 जसरी आगोले अम्रिसो जलाउँछ वा आगोले पानी उमाल्छ । ओहो, तपाईंका विरोधीहरूले तपाईंको नाउँ जानेको भए त, तपाईंको उपस्थितिमा जातिहरू काम्ने थिए ।
as wax melts before the fire; and fire shall burn up the enemies, and your name shall be manifest among the adversaries: at your presence the nations shall be troubled,
3 पहिले हामीले आशा नै नगरेको अचम्मका कामहरू तपाईंले गर्नुहुँदा, तपाईं तल आउनुभयो र तपाईंको उपस्थितिमा पहडाहरू कामे ।
whenever you shall work gloriously; trembling from you shall take hold upon the mountains.
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 ।
From of old we have not heard, neither have our eyes seen a God beside you, and your works which you will perform to them that wait for mercy.
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।
For [these blessings] shall happen to them that work righteousness, and they shall remember your ways: behold, you were angry and we have sinned; therefore we have erred,
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 ।
and we are all become as unclean, and all our righteousness as a filthy rag: and we have fallen as leaves because of our iniquities; thus the wind shall carry 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 calls upon your name, or that remembers to take hold on you: for you have turned your face away from us, and have delivered us up because of our sins.
8 तापनि, हे परमप्रभु, तपाईं हाम्रा पिता हुनुहुन्छ । हामी माटो हौं । तपाईं हाम्रो कुमाले हुनुहुन्छ । अनि हामी सबै तपाईंको हातका काम हौं ।
And now, O Lord, you are our Father, and we are clay, all [of us] the work of your hands.
9 हे परमप्रभु, हामीसँग नरिसाउनुहोस्, न त तपाईंको मनमा हाम्रो विरुद्धमा निनुहोस् । कृपया हामी तपाईंका मानिसहरूलाई हेर्नुहोस् ।
Be not very angry with us, and remember not our sins for ever; but now look on [us], for we are all your people.
10 तपाईंका पवित्र सहरहरू उजाड-स्थान भएका छन् । सियोन उजाड-स्थान, यरूशलेम निर्जन भएको छ ।
The city of your holiness has become desolate, Sion has become as a wilderness, Jerusalem a curse.
11 हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले तपाईंको प्रशंसा गरेको हाम्रो पवित्र र सुन्दर मन्दिर आगोले नष्ट भएको छ र ज्यादै प्रिय कुराहरू सबै भग्नावशेष भएका छन् ।
The house, our sanctuary, and the glory which our fathers blessed, has been burnt with fire: and all our glorious things have gone to ruin.
12 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईं कसरी अझै पछि हट्नुहुन्छ? तपाईं कसरी शान्त बस्न र हामीलाई निरन्तर अपमानित हुन हुन दिनुहुन्छ?”
And for all these things you, O Lord, has withholden, yourself, and been silent, and have brought us very low.
