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 Ahaz son of Jotham son of Uzziah king of Judah, that Rezin king of Syria, and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel, came up, to Jerusalem, to war against it, but could not prevail against 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 the house of David, saying, Syria hath settled down upon Ephraim. Then shook his heart, and the heart of his people, as the trees of a forest shake before a wind.

3 तब परमप्रभुले यशैयालाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तेरो छोरा शार्यासूबलाई साथमा लिएर आहाजलाई भेट्न धोबीको खेत जाने बाटोमा माथिल्लो पोखरीको नहरको छेउमा जा ।

Then said Yahweh, unto Isaiah, Go forth, I pray thee, to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub thy son, —unto the end of the channel of the upper pool, unto the highway 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 say unto him—Take heed and keep thyself calm—do not fear, neither let thy heart be faint, because of these two fag-ends of smoking firebrands, —in spite of the glow of the anger of Rezin and Syria and the son of Remaliah.

5 अराम, एफ्राइम र रमल्याहको छोराले तिम्रो विरुद्धमा खराब योजना गरेका छन् । तिनीहरूले भनेका छन्,

Because Syria, hath taken counsel against thee, for mischief, —[with] Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, 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 break it open, for ourselves, —and set up a king in the midst thereof, even the son of Tabeal,

7 परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “त्‍यो कुरा हुन आउनेछैन । त्‍यस्‍तो हुनेछैन,

Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, —It shall not stand Neither shall it 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, though the head of Syria is Damascus, And, the head of Damascus, is Rezin, Yet within threescore and five years more, shall Ephraim be broken that it shall not be a people;

9 एफ्राइमको मुख्‍यालय सामरिया हो र सामरियाको मुखिया रमल्याहको छोरा हो । तिमी विश्‍वासमा दृढ रहँदैनौ भने, निश्‍चय नै तिमी सुरक्षित हुनेछैनौ ।”

Even though the head of Ephraim is Samaria, And, the head of Samaria, is the son of Remaliah. If ye trust not, Surely, ye cannot be trusted!

10 परमप्रभुले फेरि आहाजसँग बोल्नुभयो,

And again spake Yahweh unto Ahaz saying—

11 “परमप्रभु आफ्‍ना परमश्‍वरसँग एउटा चिन्ह माग् । गहिराइमा भए पनि वा उच्‍चाइमा पनि यो माग् ।” (Sheol h7585)

Ask thee a sign, of Yahweh thy God, —Go down deep for a request, Or ascend on high! (Sheol h7585)

12 तर आहाजले भने, “म माग्‍नेछैन, न त म परमप्रभुको जाँच नै गर्नेछु ।”

But Ahaz said, —I will not ask Nor will I put Yahweh to the proof.

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?

Then said he—Hear, I pray you, O house of David! Is it, too little, for you to weary men, that ye must weary even 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 ।

Wherefore let My Lord Himself give you a sign, —Lo! a Virgin, being with child and giving birth to a son, thou wilt call his name Immanuel.

15 जब उनले खराबलाई इन्कार गर्न र असललाई रोज्‍न जान्‍दछन्, तब उनले दही र मह खानेछन् ।

Curds and honey, shall he eat, by the time that he knoweth to refuse the bad and 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 boy knoweth to refuse the bad and choose the good, forsaken shall be the land, at which, thou, art alarmed, of the presence of both her kings.

17 परमप्रभुले तिमी, तिम्रा मानिसहरू र तिम्रा बुबाको घरानामाथि एफ्राइम यहूदाबाट छुटेदेखि कहिल्यै नभएको कुरा ल्याउनुहुनेछ— उहाँले तिमीमाथि अश्शूरका राजा ल्याउनुहुनेछ ।”

Yahweh will bring upon thee and upon thy people, and upon the house of thy father, days which have not come, from the day when Ephraim departed from Judah, —even the king of Assyria.

18 त्यस बेला परमप्रभुले झींगालाई मिश्रदेशको खोलादेखि र मौरीलाई अश्शूरको देशदेखि सुसेलेर बोलाउनुहुनेछ ।

And it shall come to pass in that day that Yahweh will give a signal—To the fly that is in the uttermost part of the Nile-canals of Egypt, And to 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 all of them come and settle down—In the desolate torrent-valleys, And in the rents of the crags, —And on all the thorn-bushes, And on all the pastures,

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, will My Lord shave, with a hired razor, even with them of the lands over the River Euphrates, with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet, —yea, even the beard, will it sweep off.

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 keep alive a young cow and two sheep.

22 र तिनीहरूले दिने दूधको प्रशस्‍तताको कारणले, उसले दही खानेछ, किनकि देशमा छोडिएका हरेकले दूध र मह खानेछन् ।

Yea it shall come to pass for the abundance of the yield of milk, that he shall eat curds, —for, curds and honey, shall every one eat 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 some to pass in that day, that, every place wherein there used to be a thousand vines at a thousand pieces of silver, —yea, even for briars and thorns, shall it be.

24 मानिहरू त्यहाँ धनु लिएर शिकार गर्न जानेछन्, किनभने सबै देश नै सिउँडी र काँढा हुनेछन् ।

With arrows and with a bow, shall one come in thither, —for briars and thorns, shall be all the land.

25 तिनीहरू सिउँडी र काँढाको डरले खनजोत गरी खेतीपाती गरिएका सबै डाँडाबाट टाढै रहनेछन् । तर यो गाईवस्‍तु र भेडाहरू चर्ने ठाउँ हुनेछ ।

But all the hills which, with the hoe, can be weeded, —there shall not come thither, the fear of briars and thorns, —but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the tread of lesser cattle.
