यशैया 51
1 तिमीहरू जो धार्मिकताको पछि लाग्छौ, तिमीहरू जो परमप्रभुको खोजी गर्छौ, मेरो कुरा सुनः तिमीहरू निकालिएका चट्टानलाई र तिमीहरू काटिएका पत्थरलाई हेर ।
“Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek the LORD. Look to the rock you were cut from, and to the quarry you were dug from.
2 तिमीहरूका पुर्खा अब्राहाम र तिमीहरूलाई जन्माउने सारालाई हेर । किनकि ऊ एक्लै हुँदा मैले उसलाई बोलाएँ । मैले उसलाई आशिष् दिएँ र उसलाई धैरै बनाएँ ।
Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for when he was but one I called him, I blessed him, and made him many.
3 हो, परमप्रभुले सियोनलाई सान्त्वना दिनुहुनेछ । उहाँले त्यसका सबै उजाड ठाउँहरूलाई सान्त्वना दिनुहुनेछ । त्यसको उजाड-स्थानलाई अदनझैं, अनि यर्दन नदी नजिकैको त्यसका मरुभूमिका मैदानहरूलाई परमप्रभुको बगैंचाझैं उहाँले बनाउनुभयो । त्यसमा खुसी र आनन्द, धन्यवाद र गीतको सोर हुनेछ ।
For the LORD has comforted Zion. He has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in them, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
4 “ए मेरा मानिसहरू, मेरो कुरामा ध्यान देओ । अनि ए मेरा मानिसहरू, मेरा कुरा सुन । किनकि म एउटा आदेश जारी गर्नेछु र म आफ्नो न्यायलाई जातिहरूका निम्ति ज्योति बनाउनेछु ।
“Listen to me, my people; and hear me, my nation, for a law will go out from me, and I will establish my justice for a light to the peoples.
5 मेरो धार्मिकता नजिकै छ । मेरो उद्धार बाहिर जानेछ र मेरो बाहुलीले जातिहरूको न्याय गर्नेछ । समुद्र किनारहरूले मलाई पर्खिनेछन् । मेरो बाहुलीका निम्ति तिनीहरू उत्सुकतासाथ आशा गर्नेछन् ।
My righteousness is near. My salvation has gone out, and my arms will judge the peoples. The islands will wait for me, and they will trust my arm.
6 आफ्ना आँखा आकाशतिर उचाल र तल पृथ्वीमुनि हेर, किनकि आकाश धूँवाझैं हराएर जानेछ, पृथ्वी लुगाझैं फाटेर जानेछ र त्यसका बासिन्दाहरू झिंगाझैं मर्नेछन् । तर मेरो उद्धार सदासर्वदा निरन्तर रहनेछ र मेरो धार्मिकताले कदापि काम गर्न छोड्नेछैन ।
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth beneath; for the heavens will vanish away like smoke, and the earth will wear out like a garment. Its inhabitants will die in the same way, but my salvation will be forever, and my righteousness will not be abolished.
7 ठिक कुरा जान्ने, आफ्नो हृदयमा मेरो व्यवस्था राख्ने मानिसहरू, मेरो कुरा सुनः मानिसहरूका अपमानदेखि नडराओ, न तिनीहरूका दुराचारदेखि निराश होओ ।
“Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law. Don’t fear the reproach of men, and don’t be dismayed at their insults.
8 किन लुगा खाएझैं कीराले तिनीहरूलाई खानेछ र ऊन खाएझैं औंसाले तिनीहरूलाई खानेछ । तर मेरो धआर्मिकता सदासर्वदा रहनेछ र मेरो उद्धार सबै पुस्ताहरूमा रहनेछ ।”
For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool; but my righteousness will be forever, and my salvation to all generations.”
9 ए परमप्रभुका बाहुली हो, जाग, जाग, आफूमा सामर्थ्य धारण गर । पुराना दिनहरू र प्राचीन समयका पुस्ताहरूमा झैं जगा होओ । राहाबलाई कुल्चने तपाईं नै हुनुहुन्न र, जसले राक्षसलाई छेड्यो?
Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of the LORD! Awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Isn’t it you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?
10 के तपाईंले समुद्रलाई अर्थात् गहिरो पानीलाई सुकाउनु भएन, र समुद्रको गहिराइलाई उद्धार गरिएकाहरूको निम्ति बाटो बनाउनु भएन र?
Isn’t it you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
11 परमप्रभुले मोल तिरेर छुटाउनुभएकाहरू फर्किनेछन् र आफ्ना शिरहरूमा सदाको निम्ति आनन्द र खुसीको सोर लिएर सियोनमा आउनेछन् । अनि खुसी र आनन्दले तिनीहरूलाई उछिन्नेछ, र कष्ट र शोक भाग्नेछन् ।
Those ransomed by the LORD will return, and come with singing to Zion. Everlasting joy shall be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy. Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
12 “तिमीहरूलाई सान्त्वना दिने म नै हुँ । तिमीहरू मानिसहरूसित किन डराउँछौ, मानिसहरूका छोराहरू, जो मर्ने छन्, जसलाई घाँसजस्तै बनाइने छन्?
“I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who will be made as grass?
13 परमप्रभु आफ्ना सृष्टिकर्तालाई तिमीहरूले किन बिर्सेका छौ, जसले आकाशलाई फिंजाउनुभयो र पृथ्वीका जगहरू बसाल्नुभयो? अत्याचारीले तिमीहरूको नाश गर्ने निधो गर्दा, त्यसको कडा क्रोधको त्रासमा निरन्तर परेका छौ । अत्यचारीको क्रोध कहाँ छ?
Have you forgotten the LORD your Maker, who stretched out the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth? Do you live in fear continually all day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he prepares to destroy? Where is the fury of the oppressor?
14 जो झुकेका छ, परमप्रभुले मुक्त गर्न हतार गर्नुहुनेछ । ऊ मर्ने र तल खाडलमा जानेछैन, न रोटीको कमी हुनेछ ।
The captive exile will speedily be freed. He will not die and go down into the pit. His bread won’t fail.
15 किनकि म परमप्रभु तेरा परमेश्वर हुँ, जसले समुद्रलाई घोल्नुहुन्छ ताकि त्यसको छालहरू गर्जून्— उहाँको नाउँ सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु हो ।
For I am the LORD your God, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar. the LORD of Hosts is his name.
16 मैले आफ्नो वचन तेरो मुखमा हालेको छु, र आफ्नो हातको छायाले मैले तँलाई ढाकेको छु, ताकि मैले आकाशलाई राख्न सकुँ, पृथ्वीको जगहरू बसाल्न सकुँ र सियोनलाई, 'तिमीहरू मेरा मानिसहरू हौ' भन्न सकुँ ।
I have put my words in your mouth and have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and tell Zion, ‘You are my people.’”
17 ए यरूशलेम जाग्, जाग्, खडा हो, तिमीहरू जसले परमप्रभुको हातको क्रोधको कचौरा पिएर मातेका छौ । तिमीहरू जसले कचौराबाट पिएका छौ र धरमराउने कचौराबाट रित्तिने गरी पिएका छौ ।
Awake, awake! Stand up, Jerusalem, you who have drunk from the LORD’s hand the cup of his wrath. You have drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.
18 त्यसलाई डोर्याउन त्यसले जन्माएका सबै छोराहरूमध्ये कोही पनि छैनन् । हात समातेर त्यसलाई डोर्याउनलाई त्यसले हुर्काएको सबै छोरामध्ये कोही पनि छैनन् ।
There is no one to guide her among all the sons to whom she has given birth; and there is no one who takes her by the hand among all the sons whom she has brought up.
19 तँमाथि वियोग र विनाश, अनिकाल र तरवार— यी दुई कष्टहरू आइपरेका छन्— तँसँग कसले शोक गर्नेछ? तँलाई कसले सान्त्वना दिनेछ?
These two things have happened to you— who will grieve with you?— desolation and destruction, and famine and the sword. How can I comfort you?
20 तेरा छोराहरू मूर्छ परेका छन् । जालमा परेको चित्तलझैं तिनीहरू हरेक गल्लीको कुनाहरूमा ढल्नेछन् । परमप्रभुको क्रोध अर्थात् तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरको हप्कीले तिनीहरू भरिएका छन् ।
Your sons have fainted. They lie at the head of all the streets, like an antelope in a net. They are full of the LORD’s wrath, the rebuke of your God.
21 तर अब यो कुरा सुन्, ए अत्यचारमा परेकाहरू र मत्तिएकाहरू, तर दाखमद्यले मातिएकाहरू होइनन्:
Therefore now hear this, you afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
22 परमप्रभु तेरा परमेश्वर, आफ्ना मानिसहरूका निम्ति बहस गर्नुहुने परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ, “हेर्, मैले तेरो हातबाट धरमराउने कचौरा— मेरो क्रोधको कचौरा— लिएको छु, ताकि तैंले फेरि त्यो पिउनेछैनस् ।
Your Lord GOD, your God who pleads the cause of his people, says, “Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath. You will not drink it any more.
23 तँलाई सताउनेहरूका हातमा त्यो म राख्नेछु, जसले तँलाई भनेका छन्, 'भुइमा सुत्, ताकि तँमाथि हामी हिंड्नछौं ।' तिनीहरूलाई हिंड्न तैंले आफ्नो ढाडलाई जमिन र बाटोझैं बनाइस् ।”
I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, who have said to your soul, ‘Bow down, that we may walk over you;’ and you have laid your back as the ground, like a street to those who walk over.”
