यशैया 9
1 जो वेदनमा थियो, उसबाट नैराश्यता दूर गरिनेछ । जबूलूनको देश र नप्तालीको देशलाई, पहिलेको समयमा उहाँले होच्याउनुभयो, तर पछिल्लो समयमा उहाँले त्यसको समुद्र जाने बाटोमा, यर्दनपारि जातिहरूका गलीलमा त्यसलाई महिमित पार्नुहुनेछ ।
Nevertheless the dimness [shall] not [be] such as [was] in her distress, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict [her by] the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
2 अन्धकारमा हिंड्ने मानिसहरूले एउटा ठुलो ज्योति देखेका छन् । मृत्युको छायाको देशमा बसेकाहरू, तिनीहरूमाथि ज्योति चम्केको छ ।
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shades of death, upon them hath the light shined.
3 तपाईंले जातिहरूलाई वृद्धि गर्नुभएको छ । तपाईंले तिनीहरूका आनन्दलाई वृद्धि गर्नुभएको छ । कटनीको समयमा झैं तिनीहरू तपाईंको सामु आनन्दित हुन्छन्, जसरी मानिसहरूले लूटको माल बाँड्दा तिनीहरू आनन्दित हुन्छन् ।
Thou hast multiplied the nation, [and] not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, [and] as [men] rejoice when they divide the spoil.
4 किनकि त्यसको भरी जुवा, त्यसको पिठ्युको नाल, त्यसको अत्याचारीको लट्ठीलाई तपाईंले मिद्यानको समयमा झैं चकनाचूर पार्नुभएको छ ।
For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
5 दुश्मन सिपाहीका हरेक जुत्ता र रगतमा मुछिएको पोशाकलाई जलाइनेछ र आगोको निम्ति इन्धन हुनेछ ।
For every battle of the warrior [is] with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but [this] shall be with burning [and] fuel of fire.
6 किनकि हाम्रा निम्ति एउटा बालकको जन्म भएको छ, हाम्रो निम्ति एउटा छोरा जन्मेको छ, र शासन उहाँको काँधमा हुनेछ । अनि उहाँको नाउँ अचम्मको सल्लाकार, शक्तिशाली परमेश्वर, अनन्तका पिता र शान्तिका राजकुमार राखिनेछ ।
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 दाऊदको सिंहासनमा र उनको राज्यलाई स्थापित गर्न, अनि त्यसलाई न्याय र धार्मिकताले थाम्न उहाँले अहिलेदेखि लिएर सदासर्वदा राज्य गर्नुहुँदा, उहाँको शासन र शान्ति वृद्धिको अन्त हुनेछैन । सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको जोशले यो पुरा गर्नेछ ।
Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
8 परमप्रभुले याकूबको विरुद्धमा वचन पठाउनुभयो र यो इस्राएलमा पर्यो ।
The LORD sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
9 सबै मानिसहरूले जान्नेछन्, घमण्डसाथ र अहङ्कारी हृदयले भन्ने एफ्राइम र सामरियाले पनि जान्नेछन्,
And all the people shall know, [even] Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,
10 “इँटहरू खसेका छन्, तर कुँदेका ढुङ्गाहरूले नै हामी पुनःनिर्माण गर्नेछौं । अञ्जीरका रूखहरू काटिएका छन्, तर तिनका ठाउँमा हामी देवदारुका रूखहरू रोप्नेछौं ।”
The bricks have fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones; the sycamores are cut down, but we will change [them into] cedars.
11 यसकारण परमप्रभुले उसको शत्रु रसीनलाई उसको विरुद्धमा खडा हुनुहुनेछ र उसका शत्रुहरूलाई,
Therefore the LORD will set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;
12 पुर्वका अरामीहरू र पश्चिमका पलिश्तीहरू उक्साउनुहुनेछ । तिनीहरूले खुल्ला मुखले इस्राएललाई निल्नेछन् । यी सबै कुराले उहाँको रिस मर्दैन । बरु, उहाँको हात अझै पसारिएकै छ ।
The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand [is] stretched out still.
13 तापनि उहाँले प्रहार गरेका मानिसहरू उहाँतिर फर्कंदैनन्, न त तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको खोजी गर्नेछन् ।
For the people turn not to him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.
14 यसकारण परमप्रभुले इस्राएलबाट टाउको र पुच्छर, खजूरको हाँगा र नर्कट एकै दिनमा नष्ट पार्नुहुनेछ ।
Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
15 अगुवाहरू र भद्र मानिसहरू मुखिया हुन् । झुटो सिकाउने अगमवक्ता पुच्छर हो ।
The ancient and honorable, he [is] the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he [is] the tail.
16 यी मानिसहरूलाई डोर्याउनेहरूले तिनीहरूलाई पथभ्रष्ट पार्छन् र तिनीहरूद्वारा डोर्याइनेहरू निलिन्छन् ।
For the leaders of this people cause [them] to err; and [they that are] led by them [are] destroyed.
17 यसकारण परमप्रभु तिनीहरूका जवानहरूसित आनन्दित हुनुहुन्न, न त उहाँले तिनीहरूका अनाथ र विधवाहरूमाथि दया गर्नुहुनेछ, किनकि हरेक व्यक्ति अधर्मी र दुष्ट छन्, अनि हरेक मुखले मूर्ख कुराहरू गर्छन् । यी सबै कुराहरूमा उहाँको रिस मर्दैन । बरु, उहाँको हात अझै पसारिएकै छ ।
Therefore the LORD will have no joy in their young men, neither will have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one [is] a hypocrite and an evil-doer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand [is] stretched out still.
18 दुष्टता आगोझैं बल्छ । त्यसले सिउँडी र काँढालाई भष्म पार्छ । यसले जङ्गलको झाडीलाई पनि जलाउँछ, जसले धूँवाको मुस्लोमा उठ्नेछ ।
For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up [like] the rising of smoke.
19 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभुको क्रोधले देश जलेको छ र मानिसहरू आगोको निम्ति इन्धनजस्तै छन् । कुनै मानिसले आफ्नो भाइलाई छोड्दैन ।
Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.
20 तिनीहरूल दाहिने हातमा खानेकुरा समात्छन् तर तिनीहरू अझै भोको नै हुन्छन् । तिनीहरूले देब्रे हातमा खाना खानेछन्, तर अझै तृप्त हुनेछैनन् । प्रत्येकले आफ्नै बाहुलीको मासु पनि खानेछ ।
And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
21 मनश्शेले एफ्राइमलाई, अनि एफ्राइमले मनश्शेलाई भस्म गर्नेछ । तिनीहरू एकसाथ यहूदालाई आक्रमण गर्नेछन् । यी कुराहरूमा, उहाँको रिस मर्दैन । बरु, उहाँको हात अझै पसारिएकै छ ।
Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: [and] they together [shall be] against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand [is] stretched out still.
