< Isaiah 33 >

1 Ho! you who make waste those who did not make you waste; acting falsely to those who were not false to you. When you have come to an end of wasting, you will be made waste, and after your false acts, they will do the same to you.
विनाश नभएको विनाश पार्ने तँलाई धिक्‍कार! तिनीहरूले धोका नदिएको धोकेबाजलाई धिक्‍कार! जब तैंले विनाश गर्न छोड्छस् तब तेरो विनाश हुनेछ । जब तैले धोका दिन छोड्छस् तब तिनीहरूले तँलाई धोका दिनेछन् ।
2 O Lord, have mercy on us; for we have been waiting for your help: be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of trouble.
हे परमप्रभु, हामीप्रति अनुग्रही हुनुहोस् । हामी तपाईंको आशा गर्छौं । हरेक बिहान हाम्रो बहुली हुनुहोस्, कष्‍टको समयमा हाम्रो उद्धार हुनुहोस् ।
3 At the loud noise the peoples have gone in flight; at your coming up the nations have gone in all directions.
ठुलो आवाजमा मानिसहरू भाग्‍छन् । तपाईं उठ्नुहुँदा जातिहरू तितरबितर हुन्‍छन् ।
4 And the goods taken in war will be got together like the massing of young locusts; men will be rushing on them like the rushing of locusts.
तपाईंको लूट सलहरूले जस्तै बटुलिन्‍छ । सलहहरू उफ्रेझैं मानिसहरू उफ्रन्छन् ।
5 The Lord is lifted up; his place is on high: he has made Zion full of righteousness and true religion.
परमप्रभु उच्‍च पारिनुभएको छ । उच्‍च स्थानमा उहाँ विराजमान हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले सियोनलाई न्याय र धार्मिकता भर्नुहुनेछ ।
6 And she will have no more fear of change, being full of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge: the fear of the Lord is her wealth.
तिमीहरूका समयमा उहाँ स्थिरता, उद्धार, बुद्धि र ज्ञानको प्रचुरता हुनुहुनेछ । परमप्रभुको भय नै त्‍यसको भण्डार हो ।
7 See, the men of war are sorrowing outside the town: those who came looking for peace are weeping bitterly.
हेर, तिनीहरूका दूतहरू सडकहरूमा कराउँछन् । शान्तिको आशा गर्ने कुटनितिज्ञहरू धुरुधुरु रुन्छन् ।
8 The highways are waste, no man is journeying there: the agreement is broken, he has made sport of the towns, he has no thought for man.
मुल बाटोहरू उजाड पारिएका छन् । त्यहाँ कुनै यात्रीहरू छैनन् । करारहरू तोडिएका छन्, गवाहीहरूको अवहेलना भएको छ र मानव जातिलाई आदर गरिंदैन ।
9 The earth is sorrowing and wasting away; Lebanon is put to shame and has become waste; Sharon is like the Arabah; and in Bashan and Carmel the leaves are falling.
देशले विलाप गर्छ र ओइलाउँछ । लेबनान लज्‍जित हुन्छ र ओइलाउँछ । शारोन मरुभूमिको मैदानजस्तै हो । बाशान र कार्मेलले आफ्‍ना पातहरू हल्‍लाउँछन् ।
10 Now will I come forward, says the Lord; now will I be lifted up; now will my power be seen.
परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “अब म उठ्नेछु, अब म उच्‍च पारिनेछु; म अब उचालिनेछु ।
11 Your designs will be without profit, and their effect will be nothing: you will be burned up by the fire of my breath.
तिमीहरूले भुस गर्भधारण गर्‍यौ र तिमीहरूले परालका ठुटाहरू जन्मायौ । तिमीहरूका सास तिमीहरूलाई भष्‍म पार्ने आगो हो ।
12 And the peoples will be like the burning of chalk: as thorns cut down, which are burned in the fire.
काँढाका झाडीहरू काटेर जलाएझैं मानिसहरूलाई चूनझैं जलाइनेछ ।
13 Give ear, you who are far off, to what I have done: see my power, you who are near.
तिमीहरू टाढा हुनेहरू, मैले के गरेको छु सो सुन । अनि तिमीहरू नजिक हुनेहरू, मेरो शक्तिलाई स्वीकार गर ।
14 The sinners in Zion are full of fear; the haters of God are shaking with wonder. Who among us may keep his place before the burning fire? who among us may see the eternal burnings?
सियोनका पापीहरू भयभित भएका छन् । ईश्‍वरहीनहरू थरथराउने डरले समातेको छ । हामीमध्ये कोचाहिं बलिरहेको आगोसँग खेल्‍न सक्छ र? हामीमध्ये कोचाहिं अनन्त जलिरहने आगोसँग खेल्‍न सक्छ र?
15 He whose ways are true, and whose words are upright; he who gives no thought to the profits of false acts, whose hands have not taken rewards, who will have no part in putting men to death, and whose eyes are shut against evil;
त्यही नै जो धार्मिकतासाथ हिंड्छ र इमानदारसाथ बोल्छ । जसले अत्यचारको लाभलाई घृणा गर्छ, जसले घूस स्वीकार नगर्न आफ्नो हात टकटकाउँछ, रक्‍तपातको बारे सुन्‍नदेखि आफ्ना कानहरू बन्द गर्छ र जसले दुष्‍टता हेर्नदेखि आफ्ना आँखाहरू बन्‍द गर्छ—
16 He will have a place on high: he will be safely shut in by the high rocks: his bread will be given to him; his waters will be certain.
यो त्‍यो मानिस हो जो उच्‍च स्थानहरूमा वास गर्नेछ, त्यसको सुरक्षाको स्थान भिरहरू माझको किल्लाहरूमा हुनेछ, त्यसको खाना दिइनेछ र त्यसको पानीको आपुर्ती निरन्‍तर हुनेछ ।
17 Your eyes will see the king in his glory: they will be looking on a far-stretching land.
तेरा आँखाहरूले राजालाई उहाँको सुन्दरतामा देख्‍नेछ । तिनीहरू देशलाई टाढाको दुरीमा देख्‍नेछन् ।
18 Your heart will give thought to the cause of your fear: where is the scribe, where is he who made a record of the payments, where is he by whom the towers were numbered?
तिमीहरूका मनले त्रासलाई याद गर्नेछ । शास्‍त्री कहाँ छ, पैसा तौलने कहाँ छ? धरहराहरूको गन्ती गर्ने कहाँ छ?
19 Never again will you see the cruel people, a people whose tongue has no sense for you; whose language is strange to you.
तिमीहरूले फेरि हठी मानिसहरू, तिमीहरूले नबुझ्‍ने भाषा बोल्‍ने अनौठो मानिसहरूलाई कदापि देख्‍नेछैनौ ।
20 Let your eyes be resting on Zion, the town of our holy feasts: you will see Jerusalem, a quiet resting-place, a tent which will not be moved, whose tent-pins will never be pulled up, and whose cords will never be broken.
सियोन, हाम्रो भोजको सहरलाई हेर । तिमीहरूका आँखाहरूले यरूशलेमलाई शान्त बासस्थानको रूपमा, नहटाइने पालको रूपमा देख्‍नेछौ, जसको किलाहरूलाई कदापि उखेलिनेछैन न यसको कुनै डोरीलाई चुडाइन्छ ।
21 But there the Lord will be with us in his glory, ... wide rivers and streams; where no boat will go with blades, and no fair ship will be sailing.
बरु, परमप्रभु आफ्‍नो वैभवमा फराकिलो नदीहरू र खोलाहरूको ठाउँमा हामीसँग हुनुहुनेछ । पतवारले चलाइने कुनै पनि युद्धका पानी जहाजहरूले यात्रा गर्नेछैनन् र कुनै पनि ठुला पानी जहाजहरू जानेछैनन् ।
22 For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our law-giver, the Lord is our king; he will be our saviour.
किनकि परमप्रभु हाम्रो न्यायकर्ता हुनुहुन्छ, परमप्रभु हाम्रो व्यवस्था दिने हुनुहुन्छ, परमप्रभु हाम्रा राजा हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले हामीलाई बचाउनुहुने छ ।
23 Your cords have become loose; they were not able to make strong the support of their sails, the sail was not stretched out: then the blind will take much property, the feeble-footed will make division of the goods of war.
तिमीहरूका जहाजका डोरीहरू खुकुलो छन् । तिनीहरूले मस्तुललाई पक्रन सक्दैनन् । तिनीहरू पाल टाँग्‍न सक्दैनन् । जब ठुलो लूट बाँडिन्छ, लङ्गडोले पनि लूटको माल घिसारेर लानेछ ।
24 And the men of Zion will not say, I am ill: for its people will have forgiveness for their sin.
बासिन्दाहरूले “म बरामी छु” भन्‍ने छैनन् । त्यहाँ बस्‍ने मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूको पाप क्षमा गरिनेछ ।
