< 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 became manifest to them that asked not for me; I was found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold, I am [here], to a nation, who called not on my name.
2 हठी मानिसहरूलाई दिनभरि मैले आफ्ना हातहरू फैलाएको छु, जो त्यस्ता मार्ग हिंड्छन् जुन असल छैन, जो तिनीहरूका आफ्नै विचारहरू र योजनाहरूमा हिंडेका छन् ।
I have stretched forth my hands all day to a disobedient and gainsaying people, to them that walked in a way that was not good, but after their sins.
3 तिनीहरूले मलाई बगैंचामा बलिदान चढाएर र इँटको वेदीमाथि धूप बालेर मलाई निरन्तर क्रोधित बनाए ।
This is the people that provokes me continually in my presence; they offer sacrifices in gardens, and burn incense on bricks to devils, which exist not.
4 तिनीहरू चिहानहरूका वरिपरि बस्छन् र रातभरि जाग्राम बस्छन् अनि आफ्ना भाँडाहरूमा अशुद्ध मासुको झोलसँगै सुँगुरको मासु खान्छन् ।
They lie down to sleep in the tombs and in the caves for the sake of dreams, [even] they that eat swine's flesh, and the broth of [their] sacrifices: all their vessels are defiled:
5 तिनीहरू भन्छन्, “टाढै खडा हो, मेरो नजिक नआइज, किनकि तँभन्दा म पवित्र छु ।' यी कुराहरू मेरो नाकमा दिनभरि बल्ने आगो धूँवा हुन् ।
who say, Depart from me, draw not nigh to me, for I am pure. This is the smoke of my wrath, a fire burns with it continually.
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 be silent until I have recompensed into their bosom,
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 ।”
their sins and [the sins] of their fathers, saith the Lord, who have burnt incense on the mountains, and reproached me on the hills: I will recompense their works into their bosom.
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 ।
Thus saith the Lord, As a grape-stone shall be found in the cluster, and they shall say, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for the sake of him that serves me, for his sake 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 lead forth the seed [that came] of Jacob and of Juda, and they shall inherit my holy mountain: and mine elect and my servants shall inherit it, and shall dwell there.
10 मलाई खोज्ने मेरा मानिसहरूका निम्ति शारोन भेडाबाख्राको चरन र आकोरको बेसी गाईवस्तुको विश्राम गर्ने ठाउँ बन्नेछन् ।
And there shall be in the forest folds of flocks, and the valley of Achor [shall] be for a resting-place of herds for my people, who have sought 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 ye are they that have left me, and forget my holy mountain, and prepare a table for the devil, and fill up the drink-offering to Fortune.
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 deliver you up to the sword, ye shall all fall by slaughter: for I called you, and ye hearkened not; I spoke, and ye refused to hear; and ye did evil in my sight, and chose the things wherein I delighted not.
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 thus saith the Lord, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall hunger: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall thirst: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed:
14 हेर, हृदयको खुसीको कारणले मेरा सेवकहरू आनन्दसाथ कराउनेछन्, तर तिमीहरू हृदयको पीडाको कारणले कराउनेछौ र आत्माको पीडाको कारणले विलाप गर्नेछौ ।
behold, my servants shall exult with joy, but ye shall cry for the sorrow of your heart, and shall howl for the vexation of your 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 ।
For ye shall leave your name for a loathing to my chosen, and the Lord shall destroy you: but my servants shall be called by a new 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 ।
which shall be blessed on the earth; for they shall bless the true God: and they that swear upon the earth shall swear by the true God; for they shall forget the former affliction, it shall not come into their mind.
17 किनकि हेर, मैले नयाँ आकाश र नयाँ पृथ्वी सृष्टि गर्न लागेको छु । अनि पहिले कुराहरू याद हुने वा मनमा आउनेछैन ।
For there shall be a new heaven and a new earth: and they shall not at all remember the former, neither shall they at all come into their 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 they shall find in her joy and exultation; for, behold, I make Jerusalem a rejoicing, and my people a joy.
19 यरूशलेमसित म आनन्दित र मेरा मानिसहरूसित खुसी हुनेछु । त्यसमा रुवाइ र कष्टको सोर कदापि सुनिनेछैन ।
And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and will be glad in my people: and there shall no more be heard in her the voice of weeping, or the voice of crying.
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 ।
Neither shall there be there any more a [child that dies] untimely, or an old man who shall not complete his time: for the youth shall be a hundred years [old], and the sinner who dies at a hundred years shall also be accursed:
21 तिनीहरूले घरहरू बनाउनेछन् र तिनमा बसोवास गर्नेछन् । तिनीहरूले दाखबारीहरू लगाउनेछन् र तिनका फल खानेछन् ।
and they shall build houses, and themselves shall dwell in [them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and themselves shall eat the fruit thereof.
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 ।
They shall by no means build, and others inhabit; and they shall by no means plant, and others eat: for as the days of the tree of life shall be the days of my people, they shall long enjoy the fruits of their labours.
23 तिनीहरूले व्यर्थमा परिश्रम गर्नेछैनन्, न त निराशामा जन्म दिनेछन् । किनकि तिनीहरू र तिनीहरूसँगै तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरू पनि परमप्रभुद्वारा आशिष् दिइएका सन्तानहरू हुन् ।
My chosen shall not toil in vain, neither shall they beget children to be cursed; for they are a seed blessed of God, and their offspring with them.
24 तिनीहरूले पुकार्नअगि म जवाफ दिनेछु । अनि तिनीहरू बोल्दै गर्दा नै मैले सुन्नेछु ।
And it shall come to pass, [that] before they call, I will hearken to them; while they are yet speaking, I will say, What is it?
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 ।
Then wolves and lambs shall feed together, and the lion shall eat chaff like the ox, and the serpent earth as bread. They shall not injure nor destroy in my holy mountain, saith the Lord.
