प्रकाश 18
1 यी कुराहरूपछि मैले अर्को स्वर्गदूत स्वर्गबाट तल झरिरहेको देखेँ । उनीसँग ठुलो शक्ति थियो, र उनको महिमाद्वारा पृथ्वी उज्यालो भएको थियो ।
After these things, I saw another messenger, coming down out of heaven, —having great authority; and, the earth, was illumined with 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 out, with a mighty voice, saying—Fallen! fallen! is Babylon the Great, and hath become a habitation of demons, and a prison of every impure spirit, and a prison of every impure and hated 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, by reason [of the wine] of the wrath of her lewdness, have all the nations fallen, and, the kings of the earth, with her, did commit lewdness, and, the merchants of the earth, by reason of the power of her wantonness, waxed rich.
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 out of heaven, saying—Come forth, my people, out of her, —that ye may have no fellowship with her sins, and, of her plagues, that ye may not receive;
5 त्यसका पापहरूको थुप्रो स्वर्गजस्तै अग्लो भएको छ, र परमेश्वरले त्यसका दुष्ट कामहरूको सम्झना गर्नुभएको छ ।
because her sins were joined together as far as heaven, and God hath remembered her unrighteous deeds.
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 ye unto her, as, she also, rendered, and double [the] double, according to her works, —in the cup wherein she mixed, mix, unto 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 glorified herself, and waxed wanton, so much give, unto her, torment and grief: —because, in her heart, she saith—I sit a Queen, and, widow, am I not, and, grief, in nowise shall I see!
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 day, shall have come her plagues, —death and grief and famine; and, with fire, shall she be burned up; —because, mighty, is the [Lord] God who hath judged her.
9 पृथ्वीका राजाहरूले त्यससँग अनैतिक यौन काम गरे र त्यसले नियन्त्रणदेखि बाहिर गएर बलेको धुवाँ देखेर त्यससँगै रुने र विलाप गर्नेछ ।
And they shall weep and wail over her—shall the kings of the earth who, with her, committed lewdness and waxed wanton, —as soon as 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 ।”
afar off, standing, because of their fear of her torment, saying—Alas! alas! the great city! Babylon, the mighty city! That, in one hour, hath come thy judgment.
11 पृथ्वीका व्यापारीहरूले त्यसको लागि रुने र विलाप गर्नेछन्, किनकि त्यस समयदेखि कसैले पनि त्यसका सामानहरू किन्नेछैन ।
And, the merchants of the earth, weep and grieve over her, because, their cargo, no one, buyeth 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,
cargo of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and every article of ivory, and every article of wood most precious, and of copper, 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 spice, and incense, and unguent, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and [cargo] of horses, and of chariots, and of bodies, and lives 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 fruit of the coveting of thy soul, hath departed from thee, and, all things rich and bright, have perished from thee; and, no more, in anywise, for them, shall they seek.
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 were enriched by her, afar off, shall stand, because of their fear of her torment, weeping, and grieving,
16 तिनीहरूले भन्नेछन्, “धिकार महान् सहर, तँलाई धिकार, त्यो जसले मलमल, बैजनी र रातो रङको कपडा लगाएर सुन, मोती र बहुमूल्य गहनाहरूले सिँगारिएकी थिइस् ।
as they say—Alas! alas! the great city! She that was arrayed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stone, and pearl, —
17 एकै घडीमा सबै सम्पत्ति नष्ट भएका छन् ।” हरेक जहाजको कप्तान, हरेक यात्रा गर्ने मानिस, नाविकहरू र समुद्रमा व्यापार गर्नेहरू टाढै उभिए ।
That, in one hour, hath been laid waste, such great wealth as this! And, every pilot, and every passenger, and mariners, and as many as, by the sea, carry on traffic, afar off did stand,
18 त्यो जलेको धुवाँ देखेर तिनीहरू कराए । तिनीहरूले भने, “योजस्तो महान् सहर अरू कुन छ र?”
and they cried out, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying—What city is like unto the 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 out, weeping and grieving, saying—Alas! alas! the great city! Whereby were made rich all that had ships in the sea, by reason of her costliness, —that, in one hour, she hath been laid waste!
20 स्वर्ग, त्यसमाथि आनन्द गर, विश्वासीहरू, प्रेरितहरू र अगमवक्ताहरू, किनकि परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूमाथिको न्याय त्यसमाथि ल्याउनुभएको छ ।”
Be glad over her, thou heaven! And ye saints, and ye apostles, and ye prophets! For that God hath exacted your vindication from 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 one mighty messenger lifted a stone, as it were a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying—Thus, with main force, shall be cast down, Babylon the great city, —and in nowise be found any 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 sound of harp-singers, and musicians, and flute-players, and trumpeters, —in nowise be heard in thee any more; and any artisan [of any art], —in nowise be found in thee any more; and sound of millstone, —in nowise be found in thee any 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 light of lamp, —in nowise shine in thee any more; and voice of bridegroom and bride, —in nowise be heard in thee any more; because, thy merchants, were the great ones of the earth, because, with thy sorcery, were all the nations deceived:
24 त्यसैमा अगमवक्ताहरू र विश्वासीहरूको रगत र पृथ्वीमा मारिएकाहरू सबैको रगत भेटिएको थियो ।”
And, in her, blood of prophets and saints, was found, —and of all who had been slain upon the earth.
