प्रकाश 18
1 यी कुराहरूपछि मैले अर्को स्वर्गदूत स्वर्गबाट तल झरिरहेको देखेँ । उनीसँग ठुलो शक्ति थियो, र उनको महिमाद्वारा पृथ्वी उज्यालो भएको थियो ।
AND after these things I saw an angel descending from heaven, having great authority; and the earth was enlightened by his glory.
2 उनी शक्तिशाली चर्को सोरले यसो भन्दै कराए, “पतन, महान् बेबिलोनको पतन भएको छ, त्यो दुष्ट आत्माहरूका निम्ति एक वासस्थान, हरेक अशुद्ध आत्माका लागि वासस्थान र हरेक अशुद्ध र घृणित चराको एक वासस्थान भएकी छे ।
And he cried mightily with a great voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of demons, and the hold of every impure spirit, and the cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 किनभने सबै जातिले त्यसको अनैतिक कामवासनाको मद्य पिएका छन् । पृथ्वीका राजाहरूले त्यससँग अनैतिक काम गरेका छन् । त्यसको विलासिताको शक्तिको जीवन यापनबाट पृथ्वीका व्यापारीहरू धेरै धनी भएका छन् ।”
Because all nations have drunk of the wine of the rage of her whoredom, and the kings of the earth have committed whoredom with her, and the merchants of the earth have been enriched by the excess of her profligate luxury.
4 त्यसपछि मैले स्वर्गबाट यसो भनेको अर्को आवाज सुनेँ, “मेरा मानिसहरू हो, त्यसबाट बाहिर आओ, ताकि तिमीहरू त्यसका पापहरूमा सहभागी बन्नु नपरोस्, र त्यसका कुनै पनि विपत्ति तिमीहरूले भोग्नु नपरोस् ।
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come forth out of her, my people, that ye have no share in her sins, and that so ye may not receive of her plagues.
5 त्यसका पापहरूको थुप्रो स्वर्गजस्तै अग्लो भएको छ, र परमेश्वरले त्यसका दुष्ट कामहरूको सम्झना गर्नुभएको छ ।
For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 जसरी त्यसले अरूलाई दिएकी थिई, त्यसरी नै त्यसलाई फर्काइदेओ र त्यसले जे गरेकी छे फिर्ता गरिदेओ । त्यसले कचौरामा जे मिसाएकी थिई, त्यसको दोब्बर हुने गरी त्यसलाई देओ ।
Render to her as she also hath done to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she hath mingled mingle for her double.
7 जसरी त्यसले आफैँलाई महिमित तुल्याई र सुखविलासमा जीवन बिताएकी थिई, त्यसरी नै त्यसलाई यातना र शोक देओ । किनभने त्यसले आफ्नो ह्रदयमा भनेकी छे, ‘म रानीजस्तै भएर बसेकी छु, म एक विधवा होइनँ, र मैले कहिल्यै शोक हेर्नुपर्नेछैन ।’
As much as she hath glorified herself, and rioted in luxury, so much torment and sorrow give her: because she hath said in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 त्यसकारण, त्यसमाथि एकै दिनमा मृत्यु, शोक र अनिकालका विपत्ति आइपर्नेछन् । त्यसलाई आगोद्वारा भस्म पारिनेछ, किनभने परमप्रभु परमेश्वर शक्तिशाली हुनुहुन्छ, र उहाँ त्यसको न्यायकर्ता हुनुहुन्छ ।”
Therefore in one hour shall all her plagues come, death, and mourning, and famine: and she shall be consumed with fire; because mighty is the Lord God, who judgeth her.
9 पृथ्वीका राजाहरूले त्यससँग अनैतिक यौन काम गरे र त्यसले नियन्त्रणदेखि बाहिर गएर बलेको धुवाँ देखेर त्यससँगै रुने र विलाप गर्नेछ ।
And the kings of the earth who have committed whoredom with her, and shared in her luxuries, shall bewail her, and lament bitterly over her, when they see the smoke of her burning,
10 तिनीहरूले त्यसको यातनाको डरलाई देखेर टाढै उभिएर यसो भन्नेछन्, “धिकार, धिकार त्यस महान् सहरलाई, शक्तिशाली सहर बेबिलोन! किनकि एकै घडीमा तेरो न्याय आएको छ ।”
standing afar off through terror of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that strong city! how in one hour is thy judgment come upon thee!
11 पृथ्वीका व्यापारीहरूले त्यसको लागि रुने र विलाप गर्नेछन्, किनकि त्यस समयदेखि कसैले पनि त्यसका सामानहरू किन्नेछैन ।
And the merchants of the earth wept and wailed over her: because no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12 सुन, चाँदी, बहुमूल्य पत्थर, मोती, मिहिन सुती कपडा, बैजनी, रेसम, चहकिलो रङ सबै किसिमका सुगन्धित काठ, हरेक प्रकारका हस्तिहाडका भाँडाहरू, हरेक बहुमूल्य काठबाट बनेको भाँडा, काँसा, फलाम, सिङ्गमरमर,
the merchandise of gold and of silver, and of precious stones, and of pearl, and of fine linen, and of purple, and of silk, and of scarlet, and every sweet scented wood, and every ivory vessel, and every vessel of most precious wood, and of gold, and of iron, and of marble,
13 तेजपात, मसला, धूप, मूर्र, सुगन्धित धूप, दाखमद्य, तेल, मसिनो पिठो, गहुँ, गाई, भेडा, घोडाहरू र रथहरू, र दासहरू र मानव आत्माहरू ।
and cinnamon, and perfumes, and myrrh, and libanum, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and of horses, and of chariots, and of bodies, and the souls of men.
14 तेरो सबै शक्तिले तैंले चाहेको फल तँबाट गइसकेको छ । तेरा सबै सुखविलास र वैभवहरू गुमेका छन्, ती फेरि कहिल्यै भेटिनेछैनन् ।
And the delicate autumnal fruit of thy soul’s earner longing is gone from thee, and all things that are dainty and that are splendid are departed from thee, and never shalt thou find them any more.
15 यी सामानका व्यापारीहरू जसले व्यापारद्वारा धन कमाएका थिए, तिनीहरूले त्यसमा परिआउने यातनाको डरले टाढै उभिएर रुने र चर्को गरी विलाप गर्नेछन् ।
The merchants of these things who enriched themselves by her, shall stand afar off through terror of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16 तिनीहरूले भन्नेछन्, “धिकार महान् सहर, तँलाई धिकार, त्यो जसले मलमल, बैजनी र रातो रङको कपडा लगाएर सुन, मोती र बहुमूल्य गहनाहरूले सिँगारिएकी थिइस् ।
and saying, Alas, alas, the great city, which was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and overlaid with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! how in one hour is so great wealth laid waste!
17 एकै घडीमा सबै सम्पत्ति नष्ट भएका छन् ।” हरेक जहाजको कप्तान, हरेक यात्रा गर्ने मानिस, नाविकहरू र समुद्रमा व्यापार गर्नेहरू टाढै उभिए ।
And every pilot, and all the crew in the ships, and the mariners, and as many as exercise their labours on the sea, stood afar off,
18 त्यो जलेको धुवाँ देखेर तिनीहरू कराए । तिनीहरूले भने, “योजस्तो महान् सहर अरू कुन छ र?”
and cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What is like that great city!
19 तिनीहरूले आफ्ना टाउकामा धुलो फ्याँकेर रुँदै र कराउँदै विलाप गरे, “धिक्कार, महान् सहरलाई धिक्कार, जहाँ समुद्रमा तिनीहरूका जहाज हुनेहरू त्यसको सम्पत्तिबाट धनी भएका थिए । किनकि एकै क्षणमा त्यो नष्ट पारिएकी छे ।”
And they cast dust upon their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, by which all who occupied ships on the sea were enriched from her opulence! how in one hour is she made desolate!
20 स्वर्ग, त्यसमाथि आनन्द गर, विश्वासीहरू, प्रेरितहरू र अगमवक्ताहरू, किनकि परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूमाथिको न्याय त्यसमाथि ल्याउनुभएको छ ।”
Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye the holy apostles and prophets, for God hath adjudged her to punishment, for the judgment inflicted on you by her.
21 एक जना शक्तिशाली स्वर्गदूतले जाँतोजस्तो एउटा ढुङ्गा उठाए र यसो भन्दै समुद्रमा फाले, “यस प्रकारले बेबिलोन, महान् सहर हिंसात्मक तरिकाले तल खसालिनेछ र त्यसलाई फेरि कहिल्यै देखिनेछैन ।
And a mighty angel took up a stone as a great milestone, and cast it into the sea, saying, So with rapidity shall the great city Babylon be hurled into the deep, and never shall be found more.
22 वीणाको स्वर, सङ्गीतकारहरू, बाँसुरी बजाउनेहरू र तुरही फुक्नेहरूको धुन तँमा फेरि कहिल्यै सुनिनेछैन । कुनै पनि कारिगर तँमाथि भेटाइनेछैन । कुनै पनि जाँतोको आवाज तँमा कहिल्यै सुनिनेछैन ।
And the sound of harpers, and musicians, and flute players, and trumpeters, shall never be heard in thee more; and no artificer of whatever trade shall be found in thee any more; and the sound of a milstone shall be heard in thee no more;
23 बत्तीको ज्योति तँमा कहिल्यै चम्कनेछैन । दुलहा र दुलहीको आवाज तँमा कहिल्यै सुनिनेछैन, किनभने तेरा व्यापारीहरू पृथ्वीका राजकुमारहरू थिए, र जातिहरू तेरा टुनामुनाद्वारा छानिएका थिए ।
and never shall the light of a lamp shine in thee any more; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard in thee no more: because thy merchants were the grandees of the earth; because all nations were deluded by thy magical incantation.
24 त्यसैमा अगमवक्ताहरू र विश्वासीहरूको रगत र पृथ्वीमा मारिएकाहरू सबैको रगत भेटिएको थियो ।”
And in her was found the blood of prophets, and holy men, and of all who have been slaughtered upon the earth.
