< Isaiah 53 >

1 Who would have had faith in the word which has come to our ears, and to whom had the arm of the Lord been unveiled?
हामीबाट तिनीहरूले सुनेका कुरा कसले विश्‍वास गरेको छ, र कसलाई परमप्रभुको बाहुली प्रकट गरिएको छ?
2 For his growth was like that of a delicate plant before him, and like a root out of a dry place: he had no grace of form, to give us pleasure;
किनकि कलिलो बिरूवाजस्तै र सुख्‍खा जमिनबाट उम्रेको टुसाजस्तै ऊ परमप्रभुको सामु बढ्यो । उसमा हेर्नलायक आकर्षण वा ऐश्‍वर्य थिएन । हामीले उसलाई हेर्दा, हामीलाई आकर्षण गर्ने कुनै सुन्दरता थिएन ।
3 Men made sport of him, turning away from him; he was a man of sorrows, marked by disease; and like one from whom men's faces are turned away, he was looked down on, and we put no value on him.
मानिसहरूद्वारा उसलाई घृणा र तिरस्‍कार गरियो । दुखको मानिस र कष्‍टसँग परिचित । त्‍यस्‍तो जसबाट मानिसहरूले आफ्‍ना अनुहार लुकाउँछन्, उसलाई घृणा गरियो । अनि हामीले उसलाई तुच्‍छ ठान्यौं ।
4 But it was our pain he took, and our diseases were put on him: while to us he seemed as one diseased, on whom God's punishment had come.
तर निश्‍चय नै उसले हाम्रा रोगहरू बोकेको र हाम्रा कष्‍टहरू उठाएको छ । तापनि हामीले उसलाई परमेश्‍वरद्वारा दण्ड दिइएको, परमेश्‍वरद्वारा हिर्काइएको र कष्‍टमा परेको ठान्यौं ।
5 But it was for our sins he was wounded, and for our evil doings he was crushed: he took the punishment by which we have peace, and by his wounds we are made well.
तर हाम्रा विद्रोहपूर्ण कामहरूका कारणले उसलाई घोचिएको थियो । हाम्रा पापहरूका कारणले उसलाई पेलिएको थियो । हाम्रो शान्तिको निम्ति उसमाथि दण्ड पर्‍यो र उसका घाउहरूले हामी निको भएका छौं ।
6 We all went wandering like sheep; going every one of us after his desire; and the Lord put on him the punishment of us all.
हामी सबै बह्रालिएका भेडाहरूजस्ता छौं । हामी प्रत्‍येक आ-आफ्नै मार्गतिर लागेका छौं र परमप्रभुले हामी सबैको अधर्म उसमाथि राख्‍नुभएको छ ।
7 Men were cruel to him, but he was gentle and quiet; as a lamb taken to its death, and as a sheep before those who take her wool makes no sound, so he said not a word.
उसलाई अत्याचार गरियो । तापनि उसले आफूलाई होच्याउँदा, उसले आफ्नो मुख खोलेन । जसरी मार्नलाई लगिएको थुमा र ऊन कत्रनेहरूका सामु भेडा चुपचाप बस्‍छ, त्‍यसरी उसले आफ्नो मुख खोलेन ।
8 They took away from him help and right, and who gave a thought to his fate? for he was cut off from the land of the living: he came to his death for the sin of my people.
जबर्जस्ती र इन्साफद्वारा उसलाई दोषी ठहर गरियो । त्यस पुस्ताबाट कसले उसको बारेमा विचार गर्‍यो र? तर उसलाई जीविहरूको देशबाट अलग गरियो । मेरा मानिसहरूले अपराधहरू गरेका कारणले उसलाई दण्‍ड दिइयो ।
9 And they put his body into the earth with sinners, and his last resting-place was with the evil-doers, though he had done no wrong, and no deceit was in his mouth.
उसले कुनै हिंसा गरेका थिएन, न त उसको मुखमा कुनै छल नै थियो, तापनि अपराधीहरूसँगै तिनीहरूले उसको चिहान बनाए । उसको मृत्युमा एक जना धनी मानिस थियो ।
10 And the Lord was pleased ... see a seed, long life, ... will do well in his hand. ...
तापनि उसलाई धुलो पार्ने र उसलाई बिरामी पार्ने परमप्रभुकै इच्छा थियो । जब उसले आफ्नो जीवनलाई पापको निम्ति बलिदान बनाउँछन्, उसले आफ्ना सन्तानहरू देख्‍नेछ, उसले आफ्‍नो समय बढाउनेछ र उसैद्वारा परमप्रभुको उद्देश्य पुरा हुनेछ ।
11 ... made clear his righteousness before men ... had taken their sins on himself.
उसको जीवनको कष्‍टपछि उसले ज्योति देख्‍नेछ र आफ्‍नो ज्ञानद्वारा सन्तुष्‍ट हुनेछ । मेरो धर्मिक सेवकले धेरै जनालाई निर्दोष ठहराउनेछ । उसले तिनीहरूको अधर्म बोक्‍नेछ ।
12 For this cause he will have a heritage with the great, and he will have a part in the goods of war with the strong, because he gave up his life, and was numbered with the evil-doers; taking on himself the sins of the people, and making prayer for the wrongdoers.
यसकारण म भीडहरूका माझमा उसको भाग उसैलाई दिनेछु, उसले धेरै जनासित लूटको माल बाँड्नेछ, किनभने उसले आफूलाई मृत्युमा हाल्यो र अपराधीहरूसँगै गनियो । उसले धेरै जनाको पाप बोक्यो र अपराधीहरूका निम्ति मध्‍यस्‍थ-बिन्ती गर्‍यो ।
