यशैया 8

1 परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “एउटा ठुलो पाटी ले र त्‍यसमा लेख्, ‘महेर-शालल-हाज-बज ।'

And YHWH says to me, “Take a great tablet to yourself, and write on it with an engraving tool of man, To hurry spoil, enjoy prey.”

2 मेरो कुरा पक्‍का गर्नलाई म विश्‍वासयोग्य साक्षीहरू अर्थात् पुजारी उरियाह र येबेरक्याहका छोरा जकरियालाई बोलाउनेछु ।”

And I cause faithful witnesses to testify to me, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah son of Jeberechiah.

3 म अगमवादिनीकहाँ गएँ र तिनी गर्भवती भइन् र एउटा छोरा जन्माइन् । तब परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “त्यसको नाउँ महेर-शालल-हाज-बज राख् ।

And I draw near to the prophetess, and she conceives, and bears a son; and YHWH says to me, “Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz,

4 किनकि बालकले 'मेरो बुबा' र 'मेरो आमा' भन्‍न जान्‍नअघि नै दमसकसको धन र सामरियाको लूटलाई अश्‍शूरको राजाले बोकेर लैजानेछ ।”

for before the youth knows to cry, My father, and, My mother, one takes away the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria, before the king of Asshur.”

5 परमप्रभु फेरि मसँग बोल्नुभयो,

And YHWH adds to speak to me again, saying,

6 “यी मानिसहरूले शीलोको शान्त पानीलाई इन्कार गरेका छन् अनि रसीन र रमल्याहको छोरासित खुसी भएका छन्,

“Because that this people has refused The waters of Shiloah that go softly, And is rejoicing with Rezin and the son of Remaliah,

7 त्‍यसकारण परमप्रभुले शक्तिशाली र धेरै नदीको पानी अर्थात् अश्‍शूरका राजा र तिनका सबै महिमा तिनीहरूमाथि ल्याउन लाग्‍नुभएको छ । त्‍यसका सबै नहरमा त्‍यो आउनेछ र त्‍यसका किनारहरू भरिएर बग्‍नेछन् ।

Therefore, behold, the Lord is bringing up on them, The waters of the river, the mighty and the great (The king of Asshur, and all his glory), And it has gone up over all its streams, And has gone on over all its banks.

8 यो तिमीहरूका घाँटीसम्म पुगुन्‍जेल नदी बाढी आएर अघि बढ्दै यहूदाभित्रसम्म बग्‍नेछ । ए इम्मानुएल, यसको फैलिएका पखेटाहरूले तेरो देशकको सबैतिर ढाक्‍नेछ ।”

And it has passed on into Judah, It has overflown and passed over, It comes to the neck, And the stretching out of its wings Has been the fullness of the breadth of your land, O Immanuel!

9 मानिसहरू टुक्रा-टुक्रा हुनेछन् । सुन, ए टाढाका देशहरूः युद्धको निम्ति आफूलाई हतियारले तयार गर र चकनाचूर होओ । आफूलाई हतियारले तयार गर र चकनाचूर होओ ।

Be friends, O nations, and be broken, And give ear, all you far-off ones of earth, Gird yourselves, and be broken, Gird yourselves, and be broken.

10 योजना बनाओ, तर यो पुरा हुनेछैन । आज्ञा गर, तर यो पालन गरिनेछैन, किनकि परमेश्‍वर हामीसँग हुनुहुन्छ ।

Take counsel, and it is broken, Speak a word, and it does not stand, Because of Immanuel!”

11 परमप्रभुले मसँग बोल्नुभयो, उहाँको बलियो बाहुली ममाथि थियो र यी मानिसहरू हिंडेका मार्ग नहिंड्न मलाई चेताउनी दिनुभयो ।

For thus has YHWH spoken to me with strength of hand, and instructs me against walking in the way of this people, saying,

12 यी मानिसहरूले षड्यान्त्र भनेको कुनै पनि कुरालाई षड्यान्त्र नभन्, तिनीहरू डराउने कुरासित तँ डराउने छैनस्, र त्रसित नहो ।

“You do not say, A confederacy, To all to whom this people says, A confederacy, And its fear you do not fear, Nor declare fearful.

13 तैंले पवित्र मानेर आदर गर्ने परमप्रभु नै हुनुहुन्छ । तैंले उहाँकै भय मान्‍नुपर्छ र तँ उहाँसितै डराउनुपर्छ ।

YHWH of Hosts—Him you sanctify, And He [is] your Fear, and He your Dread,

14 उहाँ पवित्र वासस्थान हुनुहुनेछ । तर इस्राएलका दुवै घरानाका निम्ति उहाँ प्रहार गर्ने ढुङ्‍गो र ठेस लाग्‍ने चट्टान हुनुहुनेछ— र यरूशलेमका मानिसहरूका निम्ति उहाँ पासो र जाल हुनुहुनेछ ।

And He has been for a sanctuary, And for a stone of stumbling, and for a rock of falling, To the two houses of Israel, For a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

15 धेरै जना मानिस यसमा ठेस खानेछन् र लड्नेछन् र चकनाचूर हुनेछन्, र जाल फस्‍नेछन् र समातिनेछन् ।

And many among them have stumbled and fallen, And been broken, and snared, and captured.”

16 मेरो गवाहीलाई बाँध, आधिकारिक लेखमा छाप लगाऊ र त्‍यो मेरा चेलाहरूलाई देऊ ।

Bind up the testimony, Seal the Law among My disciples.

17 याकूबको घरानाबाट आफ्नो मुहार लुकाउनुहुने परमप्रभु म आशा गर्छु । म उहाँमा भरोसा गर्छु ।

And I have waited for YHWH, Who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob, And I have looked for Him.

18 हेर, म र परमप्रभुले मलाई दिनुभएको छोरा सियोन पर्वतमा वास गर्नुहुने सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुबाट, इस्राएलको निम्‍ति चिन्हहरू र आश्‍चर्य कामहरू हुन् ।

Behold, I, and the children whom YHWH has given to me, [Are] for signs and for wonders in Israel, From YHWH of Hosts, who is dwelling in Mount Zion.

19 तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई भन्‍नेछन्, “भूत खेलाउने र आत्माहरू खेलाउनेसित सल्लाह लेओ” जसले मन्त्र भन्छन् र गुनगुनाउछन् । तर के मानिसहरूले आफ्नो परमेश्‍वरसँग सल्लाह लिनुपर्दैन र? के तिनीहरूले जीवितहरूको निम्‍ति मृतहरूसँग सल्लाह लिनुपर्छ र?

And when they say to you, “Seek to those having familiar spirits, And to wizards, who chatter and mutter,” Does a people not seek to its God? To the dead on behalf of the living?

20 व्यवस्था र गवाहीतिर लाग! तिनले यसो भन्दैनन् भने, तिनीहरूसँग बिहानको मिरमिरे उज्यालो नभएको हुनाले नै हो ।

To the Law and to the testimony! If not, let them say after this manner, “That there is no dawn to it.”

21 तिनीहरू अति व्याकूल भएर र भोकाएर देशमा हिंड्‍नेछन् । जब तिनीहरू भोकाउँछन्, तब तिनीहरू रिसाउनेछन्, र तिनीहरूले आफ्नो अनुहार माथि उचाल्‍दा, आफ्‍ना राजा र आफ्‍ना परमेश्‍वरलाई सराप्‍नेछन् ।

And it has passed over into it, hardened and hungry, And it has come to pass, That it is hungry, and has been angry, And made light of its king, and of its God, And has looked upwards.

22 तिनीहरूले पृथ्वीमा हेर्नेछन् र व्‍यकुलता, अन्धकार र अत्याचारको बादल देख्‍नेछन् । तिनीहरू अन्धकारको देशमा लगिनेछन् ।

And it looks attentively to the land, And behold, adversity and darkness! Dimness, distress, and thick darkness are driven away, But not the dimness for which she is in distress!
