< यशैया 66 >
1 परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “स्वर्ग मेरो सिंहासन हो र पृथ्वी मेरो पाउदान हो । तब तिमीहरूले मेरो निम्ति भवन कहाँ बनाउने छौ? मैले विश्राम गर्ने ठाउँ कहाँ छ?
Thus says the LORD, "Heaven is my throne, and earth is the footstool of my feet. Where then is the house you could build for me? And where then is the place of my rest?
2 यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, “यी सबै कुराहरू मेरै हातले बनाएका हुन् । यसरी नै ती हुन आए ।” मैले स्याबसी दिने मानिस यही हो, जो आत्मामा तोडिएको र चूर्ण छ र जो मेरो वचनमा काम्दछ ।
For all these things has my hand made, and so all these things came to be," says the LORD: "but to this man will I look, to him who is humble and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.
3 जसले गोरु मार्छ त्यसले मानिसको हत्या पनि गर्छ । जसले थुमा बलि चढाउँछ, त्यसले कुकुरको घाँटी पनि भाँच्छ । जसले अन्नबलि चढाउँछ त्यसले सुँगुरको रगत पनि चढाउँछ । जसले सम्झना स्वरूप धूप चढाउँछ, त्यसले दुष्टतालाई पनि आशिष् दिन्छ । तिनीहरूले आफ्नै मार्गहरू रोजेका छन् र आफ्ना घृणित थोकहरूमा तिनीहरू रमाउँछन् ।
He who slaughters an ox is like one who strikes down a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog's neck; he who offers an offering, as he who offers pig's blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations:
4 त्यसरी नै तिनीहरूको आफ्नो दण्ड म चुन्नेछु । तिनीहरूले जे कुराको डर मान्छन् त्यही नै म तिनीहरूमा ल्याउनेछु किनभने मैले बोलाउँदा कसैले जवाफ दिएन । मैले बोलाउँदा कसैले सुनेन । मेरो दृष्टिमा जे खराब थियो तिनीहरूले त्यही गरे र मलाई जे कुराले खुसी पर्दैन त्यही गरे ।”
I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears on them; because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they did not listen; but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I did not delight."
5 परमप्रभुको वचनमा काम्नेहरू हो, उहाँको वचन सुन, “तिमीहरूलाई मेरो नाउँको कारणले घृणा गर्ने र बहिस्कार गर्ने तिमीहरूका भाइहरूले भनेका छन्, 'परमप्रभु महिमित हुनुभएको होस्, अनि हामीले तिमीहरूको आनन्द देख्नेछौँ,' तर तिनीहरू शर्ममा पारिनेछन् ।
Hear the word of the LORD, you who tremble at his word: "Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name's sake, have said, 'Let the LORD be glorified, that we may see your joy;' but it is those who shall be disappointed.
6 सहरबाट युद्धको होहल्लाको आवाज आउँछ, मन्दिरबाट एउटा आवाज, परमप्रभुले आफ्ना शत्रुहरूलाई बदला लिनुभएको आवाज आउँछ ।
A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that renders recompense to his enemies.
7 प्रसवको वेथा लाग्नुभन्दा पहिले नै त्यसले बालक जन्माउनेछे । त्यसमाथि पीडा आउनअगि नै त्यसले छोरा जन्माई ।
"Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she delivered a son.
8 यस्तो कुरा कसले सुनेको छ? यस्तो कुरा कसले देखेको छ? के देश एकै दिनमा जन्मन्छ? के जाति एकै क्षणमा स्थापित हुन सक्छ? तापनि सियोन प्रसवको वेथामा जाने बित्तिकै, त्यसले आफ्ना छोराछोरी जन्माउँछे ।
Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be brought forth at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9 परमप्रभु सोध्नुहुन्छ, “के म बालकलाई जन्मने समयमा ल्याउँ, अनि बालकलाई जन्मिन नदिऊँ? वा के म बालकलाई जन्मने क्षणमा ल्याउँ र त्यसलाई पछाडि धकेलूँ? तेरा परमेश्वर सोध्नुहुन्छ ।”
Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth?" says the LORD: "shall I who cause to bring forth shut the womb?" says your God.
10 यरूशलेमसित आनन्दित होओ र त्यसको निम्ति खुसी होओ, तिमीहरू सबै जसले त्यसलाई प्रेम गर्छौ । त्यसको निम्ति विलाप गर्नेहरू सबै त्योसँगै आनन्दित होओ ।
"Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her;
11 किनकि तिमीहरू खानेछौ र तृप्त हुनेछौ । त्यसका स्तनहरूले तिमीहरूलाई सान्त्वना दिनेछ, किनकि तिमीहरू आघाउञ्जेल ती पिउनेछौ र त्यसको महिमाको प्रशस्ततासँगै खुसी हुनेछौ ।
that you may nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts; that you may drink deeply, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory."
12 परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “त्यसमाथि समृद्धिलाई नदीझैं र जातिहरूका धनलाई उर्लेको खोलाझैं मैले फिंजाउन लागेको छु । तिमीहरूले त्यसको तर्फबाट पालनपोषण गर्नेछौ, त्यसको बाहुलीमा बोकिनेछौ र त्यसको घुँडामा खेलाइनेछौ ।
For thus says the LORD, "Look, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and you will nurse. You will be carried on her side, and will be dandled on her knees.
13 आमाले आफ्नो बालकलाई सान्त्वना दिएझैं म तिमीहरूलाई सान्त्वना दिनेछु, र यरूशलेममा तिमीहरूले सान्त्वना पाउनेछौ ।”
As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted in Jerusalem."
14 तिमीहरूले यो देख्नेछौ र तिमीहरूको हृदय आनन्दित हुनेछ, तिमीहरूका हड्डीहरू कलिलो घाँसझैं पलाउनेछ । परमप्रभुको बाहुलीले आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई प्रकट गर्नेछ, तर आफ्ना शत्रहरूका विरुद्धमा उहाँले आफ्नो रिस प्रकट गर्नुहुनेछ ।
You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.
15 हेर, परमप्रभु आगोसँगै आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ, र उहाँको क्रोधको ताप र आगोको ज्वालासँगै उहाँको हप्की ल्याउनलाई उहाका रथहरूचाहिं आँधीझैं आउँदैछन् ।
For, look, the LORD will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 किनकि परमप्रभुले आगोद्वारा र आफ्नो तरवारले मानवजातिमाथि न्याय गर्नुहुन्छ । परमप्रभुद्वारा मारिनेहरू धैरै हुनेछन् ।
For by fire will the LORD execute judgment, and by his sword, on all flesh; and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
17 तिनीहरू आफैलाई पवित्र पार्छन् र आफैलाई शुद्ध पार्छन्, ताकि सुँगुरको मासु र मुसाजस्तै घिन लाग्दा थोकहरू खानेको पछि लागेर बगैंचाभित्र जान सकून् । तिनीहरूको अन्त्य हुनेछ— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
"Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go to the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating pig's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together," says the LORD.
18 किनकि तिनीहरूका कामहरू र तिनीहरूका विचारहरू म जान्दछु । सबै जातिहरू र भाषाहरू मैले भेला पार्ने समय आउँदैछ । तिनीहरू आउनेछन् र मेरो महिमा देख्नेछन् ।
"For I know their works and their thoughts. I am coming to gather all nations and languages; and they will come and see my glory.
19 तिनीहरूको माझमा म आफ्नो एउटा शक्तिशाली चिन्ह खडा गर्नेछु । तब म तिनीहरूबाट बाँचेकाहरूलाई जातिहरूकहाँ: तर्शीश, पुट र लुड, आफ्ना धनु तान्ने धनुर्धारीहरू, तुबल, जावन र टाढाका समुद्रका किनारतिर पठाउनेछु जहाँ तिनीहरूले मेरो बारेमा सुनेका छैनन्, न त मेरो महिमा देखेका छैन् । तिनीहरूले जातिहरूका माझमा मेरो महिमाको घोषणा गर्नेछन् ।
"I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the islands afar off, who have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations.
20 तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूका सबै भाइहरूलाई परमप्रभुको निम्ति बलिदान झैं सबै जातिहरूबाट फिर्ता ल्याउनेछन् । तिनीहरू घोडाहरूमा, रथहरूमा, गाडाहरूमा, खच्चरहरूमा र ऊँटहरूमा चढेर मेरो पवित्र पर्वत यरूशलेममा आउनेछन्, परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ । किनकि इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुको भवनमा एउटा शद्ध भाँडामा अन्नबलि ल्याउनेछन् ।
They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to the LORD, on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the LORD, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.
21 यिनीहरूमध्ये कसैलाई म पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूको रूपमा पनि चुन्नेछु, परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ ।
And I will also take some of them for myself as priests and Levites," says the LORD.
22 किनकि, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो, जसरी मैले बनाउने नयाँ आकाश र नयाँ पृथ्वी मेरो सामु रहनेछन्, त्यसरी नै तिमीहरूका सन्तानहरू र तिमीहरूको नाउँ मेरो सामु रहनेछ ।
"For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me," says the LORD, "so your descendants and your name shall remain.
23 एक महिनेदेखि अर्कोसम्म र एक शबाथ-दिनदेखि अर्कोसम्म सबै मानिसहरू मलाई दण्डवत गर्न आउनेछन्, परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ ।
It shall happen, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me," says the LORD.
24 तिनीहरू बाहिर जानेछन् र मेरो विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गर्ने मानिसहरूको लासहरू हेर्नेछन्, किनकि तिनीहरूलाई खाने कीराहरू मर्नेछैनन् र तिनीहरूलाई जलाउने आगो निभ्नेछैन । यो सबै मानिसहरूका निम्ति एउटा घृणा हुनेछ ।"
"They shall go forth, and look on the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they will be loathsome to all humankind."
