< प्रकाश 19 >
1 यी कुरापछि मैले ठुलो सङ्ख्यामा भएका मानिसहरूले चर्को सोरले स्वर्गमा यस भनिरहेको जस्तो सुनेँ, “हल्लेलूयाह! मुक्ति, महिमा र शक्ति हाम्रा परमेश्वरका हुन् ।
After these things, I heard something like the voice of many multitudes in heaven, saying: “Alleluia! Praise and glory and power is for our God.
2 उहाँको इन्साफ सत्य र न्यायपूर्ण छन् । किनभने उहाँले महान् व्यभिचारीणीलाई इन्साफ गर्नुभएको छ, जसले पृथ्वीलाई त्यसको अनैतिक यौनले भ्रष्ट पारेकी छे । उहाँले आफ्ना दासहरूका रगतको निम्ति बदला लिनुभएको छ, जुन त्यो आफैँले बगाएकी थिई ।”
For true and just are his judgments, he who has judged the great harlot that corrupted the earth by her prostitution. And he has vindicated the blood of his servants from her hands.”
3 तिनीहरूले दोस्रो चोटि भने, “हल्लेलूयाह! त्यसबाटै सदाकालका निम्ति धुवाँ निस्किरहन्छ ।” (aiōn )
And again, they said: “Alleluia! For her smoke ascends forever and ever.” (aiōn )
4 चौबिस जना एल्डर र चार जीवित प्राणीहरू आफैँले भुइँसम्मै घोप्टो परेर सिंहासनमा विराजमान हुनुभएका परमेश्वरलाई दण्डवत् गर्दै आराधना गरे । तिनीहरूले “आमेन । हल्लेलूयाह!” भनिरहेका थिए ।
And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, sitting upon the throne, saying: “Amen! Alleluia!”
5 त्यसपछि सिंहासनबाट यसो भन्ने एउटा आवाज आयो, “तिमीहरू सबै उहाँका दासहरू हौ जसले उहाँको भय मान्दछन्, हाम्रा परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गर ।”
And a voice went out from the throne, saying: “Express praise to our God, all you his servants, and you who fear him, small and great.”
6 अनि एउटा ठुलो भिडको आवाज जस्तो सोर, धेरै पानीको आवाज र गर्जनजस्तोले “हल्लेलूयाह” भनिरहेको मैले सुनेँ किनभने हाम्रा परमप्रभु सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वरले राज्य गर्नुहुन्छ ।
And I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of great thunders, saying: “Alleluia! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, has reigned.
7 हामी आनन्दित होऔँ र खुसी मनाऔँ, र उहाँलाई महिमा दिऔँ किनभने थुमाका विवाहको उत्सव मनाउने दिन आएको छ, उहाँकी दुलहीले आफैँलाई तयार बनाएकी छन् ।”
Let us be glad and exult. And let us give glory to him. For the marriage feast of the Lamb has arrived, and his wife has prepared herself.”
8 तिनलाई मलमलको वस्त्र लगाउन अनुमति दिइयो, (किनकि मलमलको वस्त्र उहाँका पवित्र मानिसहरूका धार्मिक कार्यहरू हुन् ) ।
And it was granted to her that she should cover herself with fine linen, splendid and white. For the fine linen is the justifications of the Saints.
9 स्वर्गदूतले मलाई भने, “यो लेखः ‘थुमाको विवाहको भोजमा निमन्त्रणा गरिएकाहरू धन्यका हुन् ।’ उनले मलाई यो पनि भने, ‘यी परमेश्वरका सत्य वचन हुन् ।’
And he said to me: “Write: Blessed are those who have been called to the wedding feast of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These words of God are true.”
10 उनलाई आराधना गर्न म उनको खुट्टा अगाडि घोप्टो परेँ, तर उनले मलाई “यसो नगर भन्नुभयो, किनभने म येशूको बारेमा गवाही राख्ने तिम्रा भाइहरू र एक सङ्गी दास मात्र हुँ । परमेश्वरको आराधना गर, किनभने येशूको बारेमा भएको गवाही अगमवाणीका आत्मा हुनुहुन्छ ।”
And I fell down before his feet, to adore him. And he said to me: “Be careful not to do so. I am your fellow servant, and I am among your brothers, who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Adore God. For the testimony of Jesus is a spirit of prophecy.”
11 तब मैले स्वर्ग खोलिएको देखेँ, र मैले हेरेँ त्यहाँ एउटा सेतो घोडा थियो । त्यसमाथि सवार हुनुहुनेलाई सत्य र विश्वासयोग्य भनिन्थ्यो । उहाँले न्यायपूर्ण रूपमा इन्साफ र युद्ध गर्नुहुन्छ ।
And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And he who was sitting upon it was called Faithful and True. And with justice does he judge and fight.
12 उहाँका आँखा आगोको ज्वालाजस्ता र उहाँका शिरमा धेरै मुकुट थिए । उहाँमाथि लेखिएको नाउँ उहाँलाई बाहेक अरू कसैलाई थाहा थिएन ।
And his eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, having a name written, which no one knows except himself.
13 उहाँले रगतमा चोबलिएको वस्त्र पहिरिनुभएको थियो, र उहाँको नाउँलाई परमेश्वरको वचन भनेर बोलाइन्थ्यो ।”
And he was clothed with a vestment sprinkled with blood. And his name is called: THE WORD OF GOD.
14 मलमलका सफा कपडा पहिरिएर स्वर्गका सेनाहरू सेतो घोडामा उहाँलाई पछ्याइरहे ।
And the armies that are in heaven were following him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 जाति-जातिहरूलाई प्रहार गर्न उहाँको मुखबाट धारिलो तरवार निस्कन्छ, र उहाँले तिनीहरूमाथि फलामको डन्डाले शासन गर्नुहुनेछ । सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वरको क्रोधले दाखको कोललाई कुल्चन्छ ।
And from his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword, so that with it he may strike the nations. And he shall rule them with an iron rod. And he treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.
16 उहाँको पोशाक र तिघ्रामा “राजाहरूका राजा र प्रभुहरूका प्रभु” भनी एउटा नाउँ लेखिएको छ ।
And he has on his garment and on his thigh written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
17 मैले एउटा स्वर्गदूतलाई सूर्यमा उभिरहेको देखेँ । तिनले माथि उडिरहेका चराहरू सबैलाई ठुलो सोरले बोलाए, “आओ, सबै परमेश्वरको ठुलो भोजका निम्ति भेला होओ ।
And I saw a certain Angel, standing in the sun. And he cried out with a great voice, saying to all the birds that were flying through the midst of the sky, “Come and gather together for the great supper of God,
18 तिमीहरूले राजाहरू, कप्तानहरू, शक्तिशाली मानिसहरू, घोडाहरू र त्यसमाथि सवार हुनेहरू, सबै मानिसहरू, दास र स्वतन्त्र दुवै, कमजोर र शक्तिशाली सबैका मासु खानेछौ ।”
so that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of tribunes, and the flesh of the strong, and the flesh of horses and those sitting on them, and the flesh of all: free and servant, small and great.”
19 मैले पशु र पृथ्वीका राजाहरूलाई तिनीहरूका सेनाहरूका साथमा देखेँ । तिनीहरू घोडामाथि सवार हुनुहुने र उहाँका सेनाहरूसँग युद्ध गर्न भेला भएका थिए ।
And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies, having been gathered together to do battle against him who was sitting upon the horse, and against his army.
20 उहाँको उपस्थितिमा आश्चर्य कामहरू प्रदर्शन गर्ने झुटा अगमवक्तासँगै त्यो पशु पक्राउ पर्यो । यी चिह्नद्वारा त्यो झुटा अगमवक्ताले त्यस पशुको छाप लगाउने र त्यसको प्रतिरूपको आराधना गर्नेहरूलाई छल गर्यो । तिनीहरूमध्ये दुई जनालाई बलिरहेको गन्धकको अग्नि-कुण्डमा जिउँदै फालियो । (Limnē Pyr )
And the beast was apprehended, and with him the false prophetess, who in his presence caused the signs, by which she seduced those who accepted the character of the beast and who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the pool of fire burning with sulphur. (Limnē Pyr )
21 तिनीहरूमध्ये बाँकी रहेकाहरूलाई घोडा सवारको मुखबाट निस्केको तरवारद्वारा मारियो । तिनीहरूको मृत शरीरलाई सबै चराले खाए ।
And the others were slain by the sword that proceeds from the mouth of him who was sitting upon the horse. And all the birds were sated with their flesh.
