< यशैया 65 >
1 “जसले सोधेनन् तिनीहरूद्वारा खोजिन म तयार थिएँ । जसले खोजेनन् तिनीहरूद्वारा भेट्टाइन म तयार थिएँ । मेरो नाउँ नपुकार्ने जातिलाई मैले भनें, 'म यहीं छु । म यहीं छु ।’
“I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me; I was found by those who did not seek Me. To a nation that did not call My name, I said, ‘Here I am! Here I am!’
2 हठी मानिसहरूलाई दिनभरि मैले आफ्ना हातहरू फैलाएको छु, जो त्यस्ता मार्ग हिंड्छन् जुन असल छैन, जो तिनीहरूका आफ्नै विचारहरू र योजनाहरूमा हिंडेका छन् ।
All day long I have held out My hands to an obstinate people who walk in the wrong path, who follow their own imaginations,
3 तिनीहरूले मलाई बगैंचामा बलिदान चढाएर र इँटको वेदीमाथि धूप बालेर मलाई निरन्तर क्रोधित बनाए ।
to a people who continually provoke Me to My face, sacrificing in the gardens and burning incense on altars of brick,
4 तिनीहरू चिहानहरूका वरिपरि बस्छन् र रातभरि जाग्राम बस्छन् अनि आफ्ना भाँडाहरूमा अशुद्ध मासुको झोलसँगै सुँगुरको मासु खान्छन् ।
sitting among the graves, spending nights in secret places, eating the meat of pigs and polluted broth from their bowls.
5 तिनीहरू भन्छन्, “टाढै खडा हो, मेरो नजिक नआइज, किनकि तँभन्दा म पवित्र छु ।' यी कुराहरू मेरो नाकमा दिनभरि बल्ने आगो धूँवा हुन् ।
They say, ‘Keep to yourself; do not come near me, for I am holier than you!’ Such people are smoke in My nostrils, a fire that burns all day long.
6 हेर, मेरो सामु यस्तो लेखिएको छः म चूपचाप रहनेछैनँ, किनकि तिनीहरूलाई म साटो फेर्नेछु । तिनीहरूकै काखमा तिनीहरूलाई म बदला दिनेछु,
Behold, it is written before Me: I will not keep silent, but I will repay; I will pay it back into their laps,
7 तिनीहरूका पापहरू र तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूका पापहरूको निम्ति एकसाथ,” परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ । “डाँडाहरूमाथि धूप बालेको र पहाडहरूमाथि मेरो गिल्ला गरेकोमा म तिनीहरूसँग बदला लिनेछु । यसकारण तिनीहरूको विगतका कामहरूलाई तिनीहरूको काखमा म नापिदिनेछु ।”
both for your iniquities and for those of your fathers,” says the LORD. “Because they burned incense on the mountains and scorned Me on the hills, I will measure into their laps full payment for their former deeds.”
8 परमप्रभु यसो यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “दाखको झुप्पामा रस भेट्टाउँदा, एक जनाले 'यसलाई नाश नपार, किनकि यसमा असल कुरा छ' भने जस्तो हो । मेरो सेवकको खतिर म यसै गर्नेछुः तिनीहरू सबैलाई म नाश गर्नेछैन ।
This is what the LORD says: “As the new wine is found in a cluster of grapes, and men say, ‘Do not destroy it, for it contains a blessing,’ so I will act on behalf of My servants; I will not destroy them all.
9 याकूब र यहूदाका सन्तानहरूलाई म ल्याउनेछु, जसले मेरो पर्वतहरू अधिकार गर्नेछन् । मेरा चुनिएका जनहरूले देशलाई अधिकार गर्नेछन् र मेरा सेवकहरू त्यहाँ बस्नेछन् ।
And I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, and heirs from Judah; My elect will possess My mountains, and My servants will dwell there.
10 मलाई खोज्ने मेरा मानिसहरूका निम्ति शारोन भेडाबाख्राको चरन र आकोरको बेसी गाईवस्तुको विश्राम गर्ने ठाउँ बन्नेछन् ।
Sharon will become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a resting place for herds, for My people who seek Me.
11 तर तिमीहरू जसले परमप्रभुलाई त्याग्छौ, जसले मेरो पवित्र पर्वतलाई बिर्सन्छौ, जसले भाग्य-देवको निम्ति टेबल तयार पार्छौ र भावी-देवीको निम्ति मिसाएको मद्यका गिलासहरू भर्छौ ।
But you who forsake the LORD, who forget My holy mountain, who set a table for Fortune and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny,
12 तिमीहरूलाई म तरवारको निम्ति खटाउनेछु र तिमीहरू सबै जना हत्यारा सामु घोप्टिनेछौ, किनभने मैले तिमीहरूलाई बोलाउँदा तिमीहरूले जवाफ दिएनौ । म बोल्दा तिमीहरूले सुनेनौ । तर तिमीहरूले मेरो दृष्टिमा जे खराब थियो त्यही गर्यौ र मलाई खसी नपार्ने काम गर्न रोज्यौ ।”
I will destine you for the sword, and you will all kneel down to be slaughtered, because I called and you did not answer, I spoke and you did not listen; you did evil in My sight and chose that in which I did not delight.”
13 परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “हेर, मेरा सेवकहरूले खानेछन्, तर तिमीहरू भोकै हुनेछौ । मेरा सेवकहरूले पिउनेछन्, तर तिमीहरू तिर्खाउनेछौ । मेरा सेवकहरूले आनन्दित हुनेछन्, तर तिमीहरू लाजमा पर्नेछौ ।
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: “My servants will eat, but you will go hungry; My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty; My servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame.
14 हेर, हृदयको खुसीको कारणले मेरा सेवकहरू आनन्दसाथ कराउनेछन्, तर तिमीहरू हृदयको पीडाको कारणले कराउनेछौ र आत्माको पीडाको कारणले विलाप गर्नेछौ ।
My servants will shout for joy with a glad heart, but you will cry out with a heavy heart and wail with a broken spirit.
15 मेरा चुनिएका जनहरूलाई बोल्न तिमीहरूले सरापको रूपमा आफ्ना नाउँ छोड्नेछौ । म परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले नै तिमीहरूलाई मार्नेछु । म मेरा सेवकहरूलाई म अर्कै नाउँले बोलाउनेछु ।
You will leave behind your name as a curse for My chosen ones, and the Lord GOD will slay you; but to His servants He will give another name.
16 पृथ्वीमा आशिष् दिनेहरू मद्वारा अर्थात् सत्यताको परमेश्वरद्वारा आशिषित् हुनेछन् । पृथ्वीमा शपथ लिनेले मेरो अर्थात् सत्यताको परमेश्वरको नाउँमा शपथ लिनेछ, किनभने पहिलेका कष्टहरू बिर्सिइनेछन्, किनकि ती मेरा दृष्टिबाट लुकाइनेछन् ।
Whoever invokes a blessing in the land will do so by the God of truth, and whoever takes an oath in the land will swear by the God of truth. For the former troubles will be forgotten and hidden from My sight.
17 किनकि हेर, मैले नयाँ आकाश र नयाँ पृथ्वी सृष्टि गर्न लागेको छु । अनि पहिले कुराहरू याद हुने वा मनमा आउनेछैन ।
For behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
18 तर मैले सृष्टि गर्न लागेको कुरामा तिमीहरू सदासर्वदा खुसी र आनन्दित हुनेछौ । हेर, यरूशलेमलाई आनन्दको रूपमा र त्यसका मानिसहरूलाई खुसीको रूपमा मैले सृष्टि गर्न लागेको छु ।
But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; for I will create Jerusalem to be a joy and its people to be a delight.
19 यरूशलेमसित म आनन्दित र मेरा मानिसहरूसित खुसी हुनेछु । त्यसमा रुवाइ र कष्टको सोर कदापि सुनिनेछैन ।
I will rejoice in Jerusalem and take delight in My people. The sounds of weeping and crying will no longer be heard in her.
20 त्यहाँ बालक फेरि कहिल्यै केही दिन मात्र जिउनेछैन । न त वृद्ध मानिस अकालमा मर्नेछ । एक सय वर्षको उमेरमा मर्ने व्यक्तिलाई जवान भनिनेछ । एक सय वर्षको उमेरसम्म पुग्न नसक्ने कुनै पनि व्यक्ति श्रापित ठानिनेछ ।
No longer will a nursing infant live but a few days, or an old man fail to live out his years. For the youth will die at a hundred years, and he who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed.
21 तिनीहरूले घरहरू बनाउनेछन् र तिनमा बसोवास गर्नेछन् । तिनीहरूले दाखबारीहरू लगाउनेछन् र तिनका फल खानेछन् ।
They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22 तिनीहरूले घर निर्माण गरेपछि फेरि त्यसमा अरू कोही बस्ने कुरा कदापि हुनेछैन । तिनीहरूले रोप्ने र फल अरूले खाने हुनेछैन, किनकि मानिसहरूका दिनहरू रूखहरूका दिनहरू जस्तै हुनेछ । मेरा चुनिएकाहरूले आफ्ना हातका कामको पुर्ण रूपमा उपभोग गर्नेछन् ।
No longer will they build houses for others to inhabit, nor plant for others to eat. For as is the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people, and My chosen ones will fully enjoy the work of their hands.
23 तिनीहरूले व्यर्थमा परिश्रम गर्नेछैनन्, न त निराशामा जन्म दिनेछन् । किनकि तिनीहरू र तिनीहरूसँगै तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरू पनि परमप्रभुद्वारा आशिष् दिइएका सन्तानहरू हुन् ।
They will not labor in vain or bear children doomed to disaster; for they will be a people blessed by the LORD— they and their descendants with them.
24 तिनीहरूले पुकार्नअगि म जवाफ दिनेछु । अनि तिनीहरू बोल्दै गर्दा नै मैले सुन्नेछु ।
Even before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear.
25 ब्वाँसो र थुमा सँगै चर्नेछन्, र सिंहले गोरूले झैं पराल खानेछ । तर सर्पको खाना धूलो हुनेछ । तिनीहरूले मेरो सबै पवित्र पहाडमाथि फेरि चोट पुर्याउनेछैनन् न त विनाश गर्नेछन्,” परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ ।
The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but the food of the serpent will be dust. They will neither harm nor destroy on all My holy mountain,”
