यशैया 8
1 परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “एउटा ठुलो पाटी ले र त्यसमा लेख्, ‘महेर-शालल-हाज-बज ।'
Moreover, the LORD said to me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
2 मेरो कुरा पक्का गर्नलाई म विश्वासयोग्य साक्षीहरू अर्थात् पुजारी उरियाह र येबेरक्याहका छोरा जकरियालाई बोलाउनेछु ।”
And I took to me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the 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 went to the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the LORD 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 child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.
5 परमप्रभु फेरि मसँग बोल्नुभयो,
The LORD spoke also to me again, saying,
6 “यी मानिसहरूले शीलोको शान्त पानीलाई इन्कार गरेका छन् अनि रसीन र रमल्याहको छोरासित खुसी भएका छन्,
Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that flow gently, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;
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 ।
Now therefore, behold, the LORD bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, [even] the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all its channels, and go 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 he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach [even] to the neck; and the extension of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy 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 ।
Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
10 योजना बनाओ, तर यो पुरा हुनेछैन । आज्ञा गर, तर यो पालन गरिनेछैन, किनकि परमेश्वर हामीसँग हुनुहुन्छ ।
Take counsel together, and it shall come to naught; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God [is] with us.
11 परमप्रभुले मसँग बोल्नुभयो, उहाँको बलियो बाहुली ममाथि थियो र यी मानिसहरू हिंडेका मार्ग नहिंड्न मलाई चेताउनी दिनुभयो ।
For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk 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 ।
Say ye not, A confederacy, to all [them to] whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
13 तैंले पवित्र मानेर आदर गर्ने परमप्रभु नै हुनुहुन्छ । तैंले उहाँकै भय मान्नुपर्छ र तँ उहाँसितै डराउनुपर्छ ।
Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and [let] him [be] your fear, and [let] him [be] 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 will be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the 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 shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be insnared, and be taken.
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 will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look 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 the LORD hath given me [are] for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwelleth 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 shall say to you, Seek to them that have familiar spirits, and to wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek to their God? for the living to the dead?
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 they speak not according to this word, [it is] because [there is] no light in them.
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 they shall pass through it, distressed and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
22 तिनीहरूले पृथ्वीमा हेर्नेछन् र व्यकुलता, अन्धकार र अत्याचारको बादल देख्नेछन् । तिनीहरू अन्धकारको देशमा लगिनेछन् ।
And they shall look to the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and [they shall be] driven to darkness.
