< यशैया 7 >

1 उज्‍जियाहको नाति, योतामका छोरा यहूदाको राजा आहाजको समयमा, अरामका राजा रसीन, र इस्राएलका राजा रमल्याहका छोरा पेकह यरूशलेमको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्न माथि गए, तर तिनीहरू त्‍यसको विरुद्धमा विजयी हुन सकेनन् ।
And it came to pass in the days of Achaz [the son] of Joatham, the son of Ozias, king of Juda, there came up Rasim king of Aram, and Phakee son of Romelias, king of Israel, against Jerusalem to war against it, but they could not take it.
2 अरामले एफ्राइमसँग सन्‍धी गर्‍यो भनी दाऊदको घरानालाई बताइयो । तिनको हृदय काँप्यो, अनि तिनका मानिसहरूका हृदय जङ्गलका रुखहरू हावाले हल्लाएझैं काँप्यो ।
And a message was brought to the house of David, saying, Aram has conspired with Ephraim. And his soul was amazed, and the soul of his people, as in a wood a tree is moved by the wind.
3 तब परमप्रभुले यशैयालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तेरो छोरा शार्यासूबलाई साथमा लिएर आहाजलाई भेट्न धोबीको खेत जाने बाटोमा माथिल्लो पोखरीको नहरको छेउमा जा ।
And the Lord said to Esaias, Go forth to meet Achaz, thou, and thy son Jasub who is left, to the pool of the upper way of the fuller's field.
4 उसलाई भन्, 'होसियार होऊ, शान्त बस, नडराऊ, रेसीन र अराम अनि रमल्याहको छोरा पेकहको भयङ्कर रिसको बलिरहेको अगुल्टोद्वारा त्रसित नहोऊ ।
And thou shalt say to him, Take care to be quiet, and fear not, neither let thy soul be disheartened because of these two smoking firebrands: for when my fierce anger is over, I will heal again.
5 अराम, एफ्राइम र रमल्याहको छोराले तिम्रो विरुद्धमा खराब योजना गरेका छन् । तिनीहरूले भनेका छन्,
And [as for] the son of Aram, and the son of Romelias, forasmuch as they have devised an evil counsel, [saying],
6 “हामी यहूदालाई आक्रमण गरौं र त्यसलाई त्रसित बनाऔं, र हामी त्यसभित्र पसौं र ताबेलका छोरालाई त्‍यहाँ हाम्रा राजा बनाऔं ।”
We will go up against Judea, and having conferred with them we will turn them away to our side, and we will make the son of Tabeel king of it;
7 परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “त्‍यो कुरा हुन आउनेछैन । त्‍यस्‍तो हुनेछैन,
thus saith the Lord of hosts, This counsel shall not abide, nor come to pass.
8 किनभने अरामको मुख्‍यालय दमसकस हो र दमसकसको मुखिया रेसीन हो । पैंसट्ठी वर्षभित्र, एफ्राइम टुक्रा-टुक्रा हुनेछ र त्यसमा कोही मानिस हुनेछैन ।
But the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus, Rasim; and yet within sixty and five years the kingdom of Ephraim shall cease from [being] a people.
9 एफ्राइमको मुख्‍यालय सामरिया हो र सामरियाको मुखिया रमल्याहको छोरा हो । तिमी विश्‍वासमा दृढ रहँदैनौ भने, निश्‍चय नै तिमी सुरक्षित हुनेछैनौ ।”
And the head of Ephraim is Somoron, and the head of Somoron the son of Romelias: but if ye believe not, neither will ye at all understand.
10 परमप्रभुले फेरि आहाजसँग बोल्नुभयो,
And the Lord again spoke to Achaz, saying,
11 “परमप्रभु आफ्‍ना परमश्‍वरसँग एउटा चिन्ह माग् । गहिराइमा भए पनि वा उच्‍चाइमा पनि यो माग् ।” (Sheol h7585)
Ask for thyself a sign of the Lord thy God, in the depth or in the height. (Sheol h7585)
12 तर आहाजले भने, “म माग्‍नेछैन, न त म परमप्रभुको जाँच नै गर्नेछु ।”
And Achaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the Lord.
13 त्यसैले यशैयाले जवाफ दिए, “ए दाऊदका घराना, सुन । के तिमीहरूको निम्ति मानिसहरूका धेर्यको जाँच नै पर्याप्‍त हुँदैन र? के तिमीहरूले मेरो परमेश्‍वरको धैर्यको पनि जाँच गर्नुपर्छ र?
And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; is it a little thing for you to contend with men? and how do ye contend against the Lord?
14 यसकारण परमप्रभुले नै तिमीहरूलाई एउटा चिन्ह दिनुहुनेछः हेर, एज जना कन्या केटीले गर्भधारण गर्नेछिन्, एउटा छोरा जन्माउनेछिन् र उनको नाउँ इम्मानुएल राख्‍नेछिन् ।
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive in the womb, and shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Emmanuel.
15 जब उनले खराबलाई इन्कार गर्न र असललाई रोज्‍न जान्‍दछन्, तब उनले दही र मह खानेछन् ।
Butter and honey shall he eat, before he knows either to prefer evil [or] choose the good.
16 किनकि बालकले खराबलाई इन्कार गर्न र असललाई रोज्‍न जान्‍नुअघि नै तिमी डराएका दुई जना राजाहरूका देश उजाड हुनेछन् ।
For before the child shall know good or evil, he refuses evil, to choose the good; and the land shall be forsaken which thou art afraid of because of the two kings.
17 परमप्रभुले तिमी, तिम्रा मानिसहरू र तिम्रा बुबाको घरानामाथि एफ्राइम यहूदाबाट छुटेदेखि कहिल्यै नभएको कुरा ल्याउनुहुनेछ— उहाँले तिमीमाथि अश्शूरका राजा ल्याउनुहुनेछ ।”
But God shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon the house of thy father, days which have never come, from the day that Ephraim took away from Juda the king of the Assyrians.
18 त्यस बेला परमप्रभुले झींगालाई मिश्रदेशको खोलादेखि र मौरीलाई अश्शूरको देशदेखि सुसेलेर बोलाउनुहुनेछ ।
And it shall come to pass in that day that the Lord shall hiss for the flies, which [insect] shall rule over a part of the river of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the land of the Assyrians.
19 तिनीहरू सबै आउनेछन् र घाँटीहरूमा, चट्टानको चिराहरूभित्र, सबै काँढाका झाङमाथि र सबै चरनहरूमा बस्‍नेछन् ।
And they all shall enter into the clefts of the land, and into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves, and into every ravine.
20 त्यस बेला परमप्रभुले युफ्रेटिस नदी पारि अश्‍शूरका राजाकोबाट भाडामा लिइएको छुराले, टाउकाहरू र खुट्टाहरूका रौं खौरनुहुनेछ । त्‍यसले दाह्रीलाई पनि सफा गर्नेछ ।
In that day the Lord shall shave with the hired razor of the king of Assyria beyond the river the head, and the hairs of the feet, and will remove the beard.
21 त्यस दिन, एक जना मानिसले एउटा कोरली र दुई वटा भेडा पाल्नेछ,
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a man shall rear a heifer, and two sheep.
22 र तिनीहरूले दिने दूधको प्रशस्‍तताको कारणले, उसले दही खानेछ, किनकि देशमा छोडिएका हरेकले दूध र मह खानेछन् ।
And it shall come to pass from their drinking an abundance of milk, [that] every one that is left on the land shall eat butter and honey.
23 त्यस बेला, हजार बोट दाखको हजार शेकेल पर्ने जग्गामा, त्‍यहाँ सिउँडी र काँढा बाहेक केही हुनेछैन ।
And it shall come to pass in that day, [for] every place where there shall be a thousand vines at a thousand shekels, they shall become barren land and thorns.
24 मानिहरू त्यहाँ धनु लिएर शिकार गर्न जानेछन्, किनभने सबै देश नै सिउँडी र काँढा हुनेछन् ।
[Men] shall enter thither with arrow and bow; for all the land shall be [barren] ground and thorns.
25 तिनीहरू सिउँडी र काँढाको डरले खनजोत गरी खेतीपाती गरिएका सबै डाँडाबाट टाढै रहनेछन् । तर यो गाईवस्‍तु र भेडाहरू चर्ने ठाउँ हुनेछ ।
And every mountain shall be certainly ploughed: there shall no fear come thither: for there shall be from [among] the [barren] ground and thorns that whereon cattle shall feed and oxen shall tread.
