1 तर अन्त्यका दिनहरूमा परमप्रभुको घरानाको पर्वत अरू पर्वतहरूमाथि स्थापित हुनेछ । त्यो पहाडहरूभन्दा माथि उचालिनेछ र जाति-जातिहरू त्यसतर्फ जानेछन् ।
Yahweh [says that] some day his temple will be on top of a mountain, and that mountain will be the most important [MET] one on the earth; it will be [as though it is] higher than all the hills, and huge groups of people from all over the world will come there [to worship].
2 धेरै जातिहरू गएर भन्‍नेछन्, “आओ, परमप्रभुको पर्वत, अर्थात् याकूबका परमेश्‍वरको वासस्थानसम्म जाऔँ । उहाँले हामीलाई उहाँका मार्ग सिकाउनुहुनेछ, र हामी उहाँको बाटोमा हिँड्नेछौँ ।” किनभने सियोनबाट व्यवस्था र यरूशलेमबाट परमप्रभुको वचन बाहिर निस्कनेछ ।
[People from] many nations will say [to each other], “Let’s go to the mountain where Yahweh is, to the temple where we can worship the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. There God will teach us how he wants us to conduct our lives, and we will do what he wants us to do.” Zion [Hill] is the place where he will teach [people]; and [people will go] out from Jerusalem [to tell others] his messages.
3 उहाँले धेरै जातिहरूको न्याय गर्नुहुनेछ र टाढा-टाढा भएका धेरै जातिहरूका विषयमा निर्णय गर्नुहुनेछ । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना तरवारहरूलाई पिटेर हलोका फाली र आफ्ना भालाहरूलाई छिमल्ने हँसिया बनाउँनेछन् । एउटा जातिले अर्को जातिको विरुद्ध तरवार उठाउने छैन, नत तिनीहरूले अबदेखि युद्धको निम्ति तालिम लिनेछन् ।
Yahweh will settle disputes between many people, and he will [also] settle disputes between powerful nations that are far away. Then people will hammer their swords to cause them to become plow blades, and [hammer] their spears to cause them to become pruning knives. [Armies of] nations will no [longer] fight against [armies of other] nations, and they will no longer train [men how to fight] in wars.
4 बरु, तिनीहरूले हरेक मानिसलाई उहाँको दाखको बोटमुनि र उहाँको नेभाराको रूखमुनि राख्‍नेछन् । कसैले पनि तिनीहरूलाई भयभीत बनाउनेछैन, किनभने सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु बोल्नुभएको छ ।
Everyone will sit [peacefully] under his own grapevines, and under his own fig trees; no one will cause them to be afraid. [That is what will surely happen] because the Commander of the armies of angels has said it.
5 किनभने हरेक जातिहरू तिनीहरूका ईश्‍वरहरूका नाममा हिँड्छन् । तर हामी हाम्रा परमेश्‍वर परमप्रभुको नाउँमा सदा सर्वदा हिँड्नेछौँ ।
Many [HYP] [of the people of other] nations will worship [IDM] their own gods, but we will worship Yahweh our God always, forever.
6 परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, “त्यस दिनमा, म लङ्गडाहरू भेला गराउनेछु र निर्वासितहरूलाई एकसाथ ल्याउनेछु, तिनीहरू जसलाई मैले पीडा दिएको छु ।
Yahweh says, “There will soon be a time when I will gather the people whom I have punished, who have been (exiled/forced to go to other countries), all those whom [I have caused to] suffer much.
7 म लङ्गडोलाई बाँकी जाति र निर्वासितहरूलाई एउटा बलियो जाति बनाउनेछु, र म, परमप्रभुले सदा सर्वदा तिनीहरूमाथि सियोन पर्वतमा शासन गर्नेछु ।
My people who did not die while they were exiled will become a strong nation [again]. Then [I], Yahweh, will be their king, and I will rule from Jerusalem forever.
8 ए बगालको धरहरा, सियोनकी छोरीको पर्वत, तेरो पहिलेको राज्य अर्थात् यरूशलेमकी छोरीको राज्य पुनर्स्थापित हुनेछ ।
As for you people of Jerusalem [MET], you who [guard all of my people] like [MET] [a shepherd guards his sheep] from a tower, you [who live on] Zion [Hill], will have great power again. You people who live in Jerusalem will again rule like you did previously.
9 अब, तिमीहरू किन ठुलो सोरमा कराउँछौ? के तिमीहरूका बिचमा कोही राजा छैन? के तिमीहरूको सल्लाहकार मरिसक्‍यो? के यही कारणले प्रसववेदनाकी स्‍त्रीलाई झैँ पीडाले तिमीहरूलाई पक्रेको छ?
[So] why [RHQ] are you wailing now? Is it because you have no king? Have all your wise people died? You are groaning loudly like [SIM] a woman who is giving birth to a baby.
10 सियोनकी छोरी, प्रसववेदनाकी स्‍त्रीझैँ बच्‍चा जन्माउनको निम्ति पीडा र वेदनामा पर् । किनभने अब तँ सहरबाट बाहिर जानेछस्, मैदानमा बस्‍नेछस्, र बेबिलोनमा जानेछस् । त्यहाँ तँलाई बचाइनेछ । त्यहाँ परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूका शत्रुका हातबाट तिमीहरूलाई बचाउनुहुनेछ ।
[Well], you people of Jerusalem should writhe and groan like [SIM] a woman who is having birth pains, because now you must leave this city, and [while you are traveling], you will set up tents in open fields [at night]; you will go to [live in] Babylon. [But while you are] there, [I], Yahweh, will rescue you; I will free you from the power/control [MTY] of your enemies.
11 अब धेरै जातिहरू तिमीहरूका विरुद्धमा एक भएका छन् । तिनीहरू भन्छन्, ‘त्यसलाई अपवित्र रहन देओ, हाम्रा आँखाले सियोनमाथि नजर लगाइरहून् ।’
Now [the armies of] many nations have gathered to attack you. They are saying, ‘Jerusalem must be destroyed! We want to see this city [when it becomes ruins]!’
12 तिनीहरू परमप्रभुका विचार जान्दैनन्, नत तिनीहरू उहाँका योजनाहरू बुझ्‍छन्, किनभने उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई खलाको निम्ति तयार गरिएको अन्‍नका बिटाझैँ बटुल्नुभएको छ ।
But they do not know what [I], Yahweh, think, and they do not understand what I plan: I will gather them [and punish them] like [SIM] [farmers] thresh grain on the ground.
13 ए सियोनकी छोरी उठ्‍ र दाइँ गर्, किनभने म तेरो सिङ्लाई फलाम र तेरा खुरलाई काँसा बनाउनेछु । तिमीहरूले धेरै जातिहरूलाई कुल्चनेछौ र तिनीहरूका अन्यायपूर्ण धन समस्त पृथ्वीका परमप्रभुकहाँ सुम्पनेछौ ।”
So, you people of Jerusalem, rise up and punish [MET] [the nations who oppose you]. I will cause you [to be very strong], [as if] [MET] you had horns made of iron, [as if] [MET] you had hoofs made of bronze; and you will crush many nations. And [then you will take] from your enemies the valuable things that they have taken [from other countries], and you will dedicate those things to [me, the one who is] the Lord of all [the people on] the earth.”
