1 उठ्, प्रकाशमान् हो, किनकि तेरो प्रकाश आएको छ र परमप्रभुको महिमा तँमाथि उदाएको छ ।
Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of Yahweh has risen on you.
2 पृथ्वीलाई अँध्यारोले र जातिहरूलाई बाक्‍लो अँध्यारोले ढाके तापनि, परमप्रभु तँमाथि उदाउनुहुनेछ र उहाँको महिमा तँमा देखिनेछ ।
Though darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness the nations; yet Yahweh will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen on you.
3 जातिहरू तेरो प्रकाशमा आउनेछन् र राजाहरू उदाउँदै गरेको तेरो चहकिलो प्रकाशमा आउनेछन् ।
Nations will come to your light, and kings to your bright light that is rising.
4 वरिपरि चारैतिर हेर् र देख् । तिनीहरू सबै आफै भेला हुन्छन् र तँकहाँ आउँछन् । तेरा छोराहरू टाढाबाट आउनेछन् र तिनीहरूका हातले तेरी छोरीहरूलाई बोकेर ल्‍याउनेछन् ।
Look all around and see. They all gather themselves together and come to you. Your sons will come from far, and your daughters will be carried in their arms.
5 तब तैंले हेर्नेछस्, प्रज्वलित हुनेछस्, तेरो हृदय आनन्‍दित हुनेछ र भरिएर पोखिनेछ, किनभने समुद्रको प्रशस्‍तता तँलाई खन्याइनेछ र जातिहरूका सम्पत्ति तँकहाँ आउनेछन् ।
Then you will look and be radiant, and your heart shall rejoice and overflow, because the abundance of the sea will be poured out to you, the wealth of the nations will come to you.
6 ऊँटका बथानहरू, मिद्यान र एपाका सवार गर्ने ऊँटहरूले तँलाई ढाक्‍नेछन् । ती सबै शेबाबाट आउनेछन् । तिनीहरूले सुन र धूप ल्याउनेछन् र परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गाउनेछन् ।
Camel caravans will cover you, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all of them will come from Sheba; they will bring gold and frankincense, and will sing the praises of Yahweh.
7 केदारका सबै भेडाबाख्रालाई तँकहाँ जम्‍मा पारिनेछन् । नबायोतका भेडाहरूले तेरो आवश्यक्‍ता पुरा गर्नेछन् । तिनीहरू मेरो वेदीमा स्वीकारयोग्य बलिदान हुनेछन् । अनि आफ्‍नो महिमित भवनलाई म महिमित बनाउनेछु ।
All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered together to you, the rams of Nebaioth will serve your needs; they will be acceptable offerings on my altar; and I will glorify my glorious house.
8 बादलझैं र ढुकुरहरू आफ्‍ना गुँडहरूमा गएझैं उड्ने यी को हुन्?
Who are these who fly along like a cloud, and like the doves to their shelters?
9 समुद्र किनारहरूले मेरो खोजी गर्छन् । टाढाबाट परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर र इस्राएलका परमपवित्रको निम्ति तिमीहरूका छोराहरूलाई आफूसँग भएका सुन र चाँदीसँगै ल्याउनलाई तर्शीशका जहाजहरूले नेतृत्‍व गर्छन्, किनभने उहाँले तँलाई इज्‍जत गर्नुभएको छ ।
The coastlands look for me, and the ships of Tarshish lead, to bring your sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of Yahweh your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has honored you.
10 विदेशीहरूका छोराहरूले तेरा पर्खालहरू पुनःनिर्माण गर्नेछन् र तिनीहरूका राजाहरूले तेरो सेवा गर्नेछन् । मेरो क्रोधमा मैले तँलाई दण्ड दिए तापनि मेरो कृपामा म तँलाई दया देखाउनेछु ।
Sons of foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings will serve you; though in my wrath I punished you, yet in my favor I will have compassion on you.
11 तेरा ढोकाहरू पनि निरन्‍तर रूपमा खुला रहनेछ । ती दिन वा रात कहिल्यै बन्द गरिनेछैन, ताकि जातिहरूका सम्पत्ति तिनीहरूका राजाहरूलाई अगि राखेर ल्याउन सकियोस् ।
Your gates also will remain open continually; they will not be shut day or night, so that the wealth of the nations may be brought, with their kings being led.
12 वास्तवमा, तेरो सेवा नगर्ने जातिहरू र राज्यहरू नाश हुनेछन् । ती जातिहरू पुर्ण रूपमा नष्‍ट पारिनेछ ।
Indeed, nations and kingdoms that will not serve you will perish; those nations will be completely destroyed.
13 लेबनानको महिमा तँकहा आउनेछ । सल्‍लो र धूपीका रूखहरू मेरो पवित्रस्थानलाई सुन्दर बनाउन आउनेछन् । अनि म मेरो पाउ राख्‍ने ठाउँलाई महिमित तुल्याउनेछु ।
The glory of Lebanon will come to you, the cypress tree, the fir, and the cypress box tree together, to beautify my sanctuary; and I will glorify the place of my feet.
14 तँलाई तुच्छ पार्नेहरूका छोराहरू तँलाई दण्डवत गर्न आउनेछन् । तिनीहरूले तेरा पाउ ढोग्‍नेछन् । तिनीहरूले तँलाई परमप्रभुको सहर अर्थात् इस्राएलको परमपवित्रको सियोन भन्‍नेछन् ।
They will come to you to bow down, the sons of those who humbled you; they will bow at your feet; they will call you The City of Yahweh, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 तँबाट भएर कोही नहिंड्ने गरी त्यागिएको र घृणा गरिएको अवस्‍थामा रहनुको साटोमा, म तँलाई सदाको निम्ति गौरवको वस्तु, पुस्तादेखि पुस्‍तासम्‍मको निम्ति आनन्द बनाउनेछु ।
Instead of you remaining abandoned and hated, with no one passing through you, I will make you a thing of pride forever, a joy from generation to generation.
16 तैंले जातिहरूको दूध पनि पिउनेछस् र राजहरूका दूध कानेछस् । म, परमप्रभु नै तेरो उद्धारक र मुक्‍तिदाता, याकूबको शक्तिशाली हुँ भन्‍ने तैंले जान्‍नेछस् ।
You will also drink the milk of the nations, and will nurse at the breast of kings; you will know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
17 काँसाको सट्टामा म सुन ल्‍याउनेछु, फलामको सट्टामा म चाँदी ल्‍याउनेछु । काठको साटो काँसा र ढङ्गाको साटो फलाम ल्याउनेछु । शन्तिलाई म तेरो गभर्नर र न्यायलाई तेरो शासक नियुक्‍त गर्नेछु ।
Instead of bronze I will bring gold, instead of iron I will bring silver; instead of wood, bronze, and instead of stones, iron. I will appoint peace as your governors, and justice your rulers.
18 तेरो देशमा हिंसा कदापि सुनिनेछैन, न त तेरो सिमानाभित्र विध्वांस वा तोडफोड सुनिनेछ, तर तैंले तेरा पर्खालहरूलाई मुक्‍ति र तेरा ढोकाहरूलाई प्रशंसा भन्‍नेछस् ।
Violence will no longer be heard in your land, or devastation nor shattering within your borders; but you will call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
19 सूर्य दिनमा तेरो प्रकाश हुनेछैन, न त चन्द्रमाको उज्यालो तँमाथि चम्किनेछ । तर परमप्रभु नै तेरो अनन्तको प्रकाश र तेरो परमेश्‍वर नै तेरो महिमा हुनुहुनेछ ।
The sun will no longer be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you; but Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and your God your glory.
20 तेरो सूर्य कहिल्यै अस्ताउनेछैन, न त तेरो चन्द्रमा पछि हट्ने र लोप हुनेछ । किनकि परमप्रभु नै तेरो अनन्तको प्रकाश हुनुहुनेछ र तेरा शोकका दिनहरू समाप्‍त हुनेछन् ।
Your sun will no longer set, nor will your moon withdraw and disappear; for Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning will be ended.
21 तेरा सबै मानिस धर्मी हुनेछन् । तिनीहरूले सदाको निम्ति देश अधिकार गर्नेछन् । म महिमित हुन सकूँ भनेर ती मैले रोपेका बिरुवाका हाँगा र मेरा हातका काम हुन् ।
All your people will be righteous; they will take possession of the land for all time, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
22 थोरैचाहिं एक हजार हुनेछ, सानो एउटा पनि बलियो जाति हुनेछ । जब समय आउँछ, तब म, परमप्रभुले यी कुराहरू चाँडै नै पुरा गर्नेछु ।
The little one shall become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation; I, Yahweh, will swiftly accomplish these things when the time comes.
