< 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 Jotham, the son of 'Uzziyahu, the king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekach the son of Remalyahu, the king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it; but were not able to make an attack upon it.
2 अरामले एफ्राइमसँग सन्धी गर्यो भनी दाऊदको घरानालाई बताइयो । तिनको हृदय काँप्यो, अनि तिनका मानिसहरूका हृदय जङ्गलका रुखहरू हावाले हल्लाएझैं काँप्यो ।
And it was told unto the house of David, saying, Syria is encamped with Ephraim; and his heart trembled, with the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest are shaken before 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 unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Achaz, thou with Shear-yashub thy son, to the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway of the washer'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 unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, and let thy heart not become faint because of these two stumps of smoking firebrands, before the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remalyahu.
5 अराम, एफ्राइम र रमल्याहको छोराले तिम्रो विरुद्धमा खराब योजना गरेका छन् । तिनीहरूले भनेका छन्,
Forasmuch as Syria, [with] Ephraim and the son of Remalyahu, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
6 “हामी यहूदालाई आक्रमण गरौं र त्यसलाई त्रसित बनाऔं, र हामी त्यसभित्र पसौं र ताबेलका छोरालाई त्यहाँ हाम्रा राजा बनाऔं ।”
Let us go up against Judah, and besiege it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set up as king in the midst of it the son of Tabeal:
7 परमप्रभु परमेश्वर भन्नुहुन्छ, “त्यो कुरा हुन आउनेछैन । त्यस्तो हुनेछैन,
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, It shall not succeed, and it shall not 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 ।
For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin: and within sixty and five years shall Ephraim be broken, to be no more 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 Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remalyahu's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not have permanence.
10 परमप्रभुले फेरि आहाजसँग बोल्नुभयो,
And the Lord continued to speak unto Achaz, saying,
11 “परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमश्वरसँग एउटा चिन्ह माग् । गहिराइमा भए पनि वा उच्चाइमा पनि यो माग् ।” (Sheol )
Ask thee a sign from the Lord thy God; ask it in the depth, or high up above. (Sheol )
12 तर आहाजले भने, “म माग्नेछैन, न त म परमप्रभुको जाँच नै गर्नेछु ।”
But Achaz said, I will not ask, and I will not 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 too little for you to weary men, that ye will weary also my God?
14 यसकारण परमप्रभुले नै तिमीहरूलाई एउटा चिन्ह दिनुहुनेछः हेर, एज जना कन्या केटीले गर्भधारण गर्नेछिन्, एउटा छोरा जन्माउनेछिन् र उनको नाउँ इम्मानुएल राख्नेछिन् ।
Therefore will the Lord himself give you a sign: behold, this young woman shall conceive, and bear a son, and she shall call his name 'Immanu-el, [God with us].
15 जब उनले खराबलाई इन्कार गर्न र असललाई रोज्न जान्दछन्, तब उनले दही र मह खानेछन् ।
Cream and honey shall he eat, so soon as he knoweth to refuse the evil, and to choose the good.
16 किनकि बालकले खराबलाई इन्कार गर्न र असललाई रोज्न जान्नुअघि नै तिमी डराएका दुई जना राजाहरूका देश उजाड हुनेछन् ।
For before yet the child shall know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good, shall be forsaken the land, of the kings of which thou feelest dread.
17 परमप्रभुले तिमी, तिम्रा मानिसहरू र तिम्रा बुबाको घरानामाथि एफ्राइम यहूदाबाट छुटेदेखि कहिल्यै नभएको कुरा ल्याउनुहुनेछ— उहाँले तिमीमाथि अश्शूरका राजा ल्याउनुहुनेछ ।”
The Lord will bring over thee, and over thy people, and over thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim withdrew from Judah, —the king of Assyria.
18 त्यस बेला परमप्रभुले झींगालाई मिश्रदेशको खोलादेखि र मौरीलाई अश्शूरको देशदेखि सुसेलेर बोलाउनुहुनेछ ।
And it shall come to pass on that day, that the Lord will call for the fly that is in the uttermost end of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
19 तिनीहरू सबै आउनेछन् र घाँटीहरूमा, चट्टानको चिराहरूभित्र, सबै काँढाका झाङमाथि र सबै चरनहरूमा बस्नेछन् ।
And they shall come, and shall encamp, all of them, in the desolate valleys, and in the clefts of the rocks, and upon all thorn-hedges, and upon all bushes.
20 त्यस बेला परमप्रभुले युफ्रेटिस नदी पारि अश्शूरका राजाकोबाट भाडामा लिइएको छुराले, टाउकाहरू र खुट्टाहरूका रौं खौरनुहुनेछ । त्यसले दाह्रीलाई पनि सफा गर्नेछ ।
On the same day will the Lord shave with the razor that is hired, from among those on the other side of the river, with the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and also the beard shall it entirely remove.
21 त्यस दिन, एक जना मानिसले एउटा कोरली र दुई वटा भेडा पाल्नेछ,
And it shall come to pass on that day, that a man shall nourish [but] one young cow, and two sheep;
22 र तिनीहरूले दिने दूधको प्रशस्तताको कारणले, उसले दही खानेछ, किनकि देशमा छोडिएका हरेकले दूध र मह खानेछन् ।
And it shall happen, that for the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat cream; for cream and honey shall eat every one that is left in the midst of the land.
23 त्यस बेला, हजार बोट दाखको हजार शेकेल पर्ने जग्गामा, त्यहाँ सिउँडी र काँढा बाहेक केही हुनेछैन ।
And it shall come to pass on that day, that every place, where there are [now] a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels, shall be, —yea, this shall be [given up] to briers and thorns.
24 मानिहरू त्यहाँ धनु लिएर शिकार गर्न जानेछन्, किनभने सबै देश नै सिउँडी र काँढा हुनेछन् ।
With arrows and with bows shall men enter thither; because all the land shall become [covered with] briers 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 all mountains that are worked with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: and they shall serve for the pasture of oxen, and for the treading of sheep.
