यशैया 59
1 हेर, परमप्रभुको हात यति छोटो छैन कि त्यसले बचाउन सक्दैन । न त उहाँको कान यति मन्द नै छ कि त्यसले सुन्न सक्दैन ।
Don't you see? The Lord's arm isn't too weak to save you, and his ear isn't too deaf to hear you!
2 तापनि तिमीहरूका पापपुर्ण कामहरूले तिमीहरूलाई परमेश्वरबाट अलग गरेको छ, र तिमीहरूका पापहरूले तिमीहरूबाट र तिमीहरूका कुरा सुन्नबाट उहाँलाई आफ्नो मुख लुकाउने बनाएको छ ।
It's your guilt that has created a barrier between you and your God; your sins have hidden his face from you so he can't hear you.
3 किनकि तिमीहरूका हातहरूमा रगतका र तिमीहरूको औंलाहरूमा पापका दाग छन् । तिमीहरूका ओठहरूले झुट बोल्छन् र तिमीहरूका जिब्राले छलपुर्वक बोल्छन् ।
Your hands are covered in blood and your fingers tainted with guilt, your lips speak lies and your mouth whispers evil things.
4 कसैले पनि धार्मिकतामा पुकारा गर्दैन र कसैले पनि आफ्नो मुद्दाको निम्ति सत्यतामा बिन्ति गर्दैन । तिनीहरू रित्ता शब्दहरूमा भर पर्छन् र झुट बोल्छन् । तिनीहरूले कष्ट गर्भधारण गर्छन् र पाप जन्माउँछन् ।
Nobody wants justice, nobody pleads their case with honesty. They rely on false testimony, and tell lies. They conceive evil plans, and give birth to trouble.
5 तिनीहरूले विषालु सर्पको अण्डा ओथर्छन् र माकुराको जालो बुन्छन् । तिनीहरूका अण्डा जसले खान्छ त्यो मर्छ र एउटा अण्डा फुटाइयो भने, त्यसबाट विषलु सर्प निस्कन्छ ।
They hatch viper's eggs, and weave a spider's web. If you eat their eggs you'll die; if you crush their eggs you'll only hatch snakes.
6 तिनीहरूका जालोहरू लुगाको निम्ति प्रयोग गर्न सकिंदैन, न त तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कामहरूले आफूलाई ढाक्न सक्छन् । तिनीहरूका कामहरू पापका कामहरू हुन् र तिनीहरूका हातहरूमा हिंसाका कामहरू छन् ।
Their webs can't be made into clothes; they can't cover themselves by what they produce. What they do is wicked; they use their hands to commit violence.
7 तिनीहरूका पाउहरू दुष्टतातिर हतारिन्छ र तिनीहरू नोर्दोष रगत बगाउन दौडिन्छन् । तिनीहरूका विचारहरू पापका विचारहरू हुन् । हिंसा र विनाश तिनीहरूका बाटोहरू हुन् ।
They run to do evil; they're quick to murder innocent people. Their minds are full of sinful thoughts; they only cause havoc and destruction.
8 शान्तिको बाटो तिनीहरूले जान्दैनन् र तिनीहरूका बाटोहरूमा न्याय हुँदैन । तिनीहरूले बाङ्गा बाटोहरू बनाएका छन् । यी बाटोहरूमा यात्रा गर्नेहरूले शान्ति जान्दैनन् ।
They don't know how to live in peace; they're not straight and fair with others. Their way is totally crooked, and anyone who follows them won't experience any peace.
9 यसकारण न्याय हामीबाट टाढा छ, न त धार्मिकता हामीकहाँ आइपुग्छ । हामी ज्योतिको आशा गर्छौं, तर अन्धकार देख्छौं । हामी उज्यालोको प्रतिक्षा गर्छौं, तर हामी अन्धकारमा हिंड्छौं ।
So that's why we don't have justice, and we don't do what's right. We look for the light, but only find the dark; we look for bright light, but we walk in deep darkness.
10 अन्धाले झैं र देख्न नसक्नेहरूले झैं हामी भित्ता छाम्छौं । हामी मध्यदिनमा नै साँझमा झैं ठेस खान्छौं । बलियोहरूका माझमा हामी मरेका मानिसझैं छौं।
We grope like blind people along a wall, feeling with our hands as if we have no eyes. We stumble at noon as if it were the evening. Among those who are full of life, we are like the dead.
11 हामी भालुझैं कराउँछौं र ढुकुरझैं विलाप गर्छौं । हामी न्यायको आशा गर्छौं, तर त्यहाँ छैन । छुटकाराको खोज्छौं, तर त्यो हामीबाट टाढा छ ।
All of us growl like bears and coo like doves as we wait for justice to be done, but it never happens; we wait for salvation, but never receive it.
12 किनकि हाम्रा धेरै अपराधहरू तपाईंका सामु छन् र हाम्रा पापहरूले हाम्रा विरुद्धमा गवाही दिन्छन् । किनकि हाम्रा अपराधहरू हामीसँग छन् र हामी आफ्ना पापहरू जान्दछौं।
You are aware of all our rebellious acts; our sins witness against us. Yes, we acknowledge our rebellious acts; we know all about our sins.
13 परमप्रभुलाई इन्कार गरेर र हाम्रा परमेश्वरको अनुसरण गर्न छाडेर हामीले विद्रोह गरेका छौं । हामीले झुट बोलेका छौं, अनि तर्किएर हृदय र झुटका शब्दहरूबाट गनगन गरेका छौं ।
We have disobeyed and denied you, Lord; we have turned our backs on our God. We have encouraged oppression and rebellion, telling lies we've carefully thought out.
14 न्याय हटाइएको छ र धार्मिका टाढै खडा हुन्छ । किनकि सत्यता खुल्ला ठाउँ ठेस खान्छ र ठिक कुरा आउन सक्दैन ।
Justice is rejected, and doing right never happens. Truth falls down in the street, and honesty is banned.
15 भरोसा हराएको छ, र जो दुष्टताबाट फर्किन्छ उसले आफूलाई शिकार बनाउँछ । परमप्रभुले यो देख्नुभयो र त्यहाँ न्याय नदेखेर अप्रशन्न हुनुभयो ।
There's no truth anywhere, and anyone who does give up evil is robbed. The Lord saw what was going on, and was upset that there was no justice.
16 त्यहाँ उहाँले कुनै मानिसलाई देख्नुभएन र मध्यस्थ गर्ने कोही नभएकोमा उहाँ छक्क पर्नुभयो । यसकारण उहाँको आफ्नै बहुलीले उसको उद्धार गर्यो र उहाँको धार्मिकताले उसलाई सम्भाल्यो ।
He looked around, and he was appalled to find there was no one who would do anything about it, so he intervened himself, and his sense of what was right kept him going.
17 उहाँले धार्मिकतालाई छातीपाताको रूपमा र आफ्नो शिरमा मुक्तिको टोप लगाउनुभयो । उहाँले आफूलाई बदलाको पोशाल पहिरनुभयो र जोशलाई आवरणको रूपमा लगाउनुभयो ।
He put on integrity as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on his head. He put on clothes of vengeance and wrapped himself with determination as a cloak.
18 आफ्ना विरोधीहरूलाई क्रोधको इन्साफले, आफ्ना शत्रुहरूलाई बदलाले, टापुहरूलाई तिनीहरूका इनामको रूपमा दण्डले, तिनीहरूले जे गरेका थिए, त्यसको प्रतिफल उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभयो ।
He will repay everyone for what they've done: fury to his enemies, revenge to those who oppose him, payback to the distant lands.
19 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले पश्चिमदेखि परमप्रभुको नाउँको भय मान्नेछन् र सूर्योदयदेखि उहाँको महिमा देख्नेछन् । किनकि परमप्रभुको सासले डोर्याएर उहाँ उर्लंदो नदीझैं आउनुहुनेछ ।
Those in the west will be in awe of the Lord, and those in the east will be amazed at his glory, for he will arrive like a raging flood, driven by the Spirit of the Lord.
20 “सियोनमा र याकूबका विद्रोही कामहरूबाट फर्कनेहरूकहाँ— एक जना उद्धारक आउनुहुने छ— यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।
The Redeemer will come to Zion, to Jacob's descendants who turn from their sins, declares the Lord.
21 परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ— मेरो निम्ति, तिनीहरूसँग यो मेरो करार हो । मेरो आत्मा तँमाथि छ, र मेरो वचन मैले तेरो मुखमा राखेको छु, त्यो तेरो मुखबाट जानेछैन वा तेरा छोराछोरीका मुखबाट जानेछैन, अहिलेदेखि सदासर्वदासम्मै—परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ ।
This is my agreement with them, says the Lord. My Spirit, who is upon you, won't leave you, and my words that I have given you to speak will always be on your lips, on the lips of your children, and on the lips of your descendants, from now until forever, says the Lord.
