< यशैया 64 >

1 ओहो, तपाईंले आकाशलाई चिरेर खोल्‍नुभएको र तल आउनुभएको भए त हुन्थ्यो! तपाईंको उपस्थितिमा पहाडहरू काम्‍ने थिए,
Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your 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 fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the water to boil. Make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence!
3 पहिले हामीले आशा नै नगरेको अचम्मका कामहरू तपाईंले गर्नुहुँदा, तपाईं तल आउनुभयो र तपाईंको उपस्थितिमा पहडाहरू कामे ।
When you did awesome things which we didn’t look for, you came down, and the mountains quaked at your 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 from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits 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।
You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Behold, you were angry, and we sinned. We have been in sin for a long time. Shall we 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 ।
For we have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take 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 ।
There is no one who calls on your name, who stirs himself up to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us by means 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, LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay and you our potter. We all are the work of your hand.
9 हे परमप्रभु, हामीसँग नरिसाउनुहोस्, न त तपाईंको मनमा हाम्रो विरुद्धमा निनुहोस् । कृपया हामी तपाईंका मानिसहरूलाई हेर्नुहोस् ।
Don’t be furious, LORD. Don’t remember iniquity forever. Look and see, we beg you, we are all your people.
10 तपाईंका पवित्र सहरहरू उजाड-स्थान भएका छन् । सियोन उजाड-स्थान, यरूशलेम निर्जन भएको छ ।
Your holy cities have become a wilderness. Zion has become 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 you is burned with fire. All our pleasant places are laid waste.
12 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईं कसरी अझै पछि हट्‍नुहुन्छ? तपाईं कसरी शान्‍त बस्‍न र हामीलाई निरन्तर अपमानित हुन हुन दिनुहुन्छ?”
Will you hold yourself back for these things, LORD? Will you keep silent and punish us very severely?
