Isaiah 33
1 ଦେଖ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଲୁଟିତ ନ ହାଇେ ମଧ୍ଯ ଅନ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କୁ ଲୁଟୁଅଛ। ଅନ୍ୟମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ବିଶ୍ବାସଘାତକତା ନ କଲେ ମଧ୍ଯ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଅନ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ବିଶ୍ବାସଘାତକତା କରୁଅଛ। ତେଣୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସନ୍ତାପର ପାତ୍ର। କାରଣ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଲୁଟିବା ସମାପ୍ତ କଲାପ ରେ ଅନ୍ୟମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଲୁଟିବେ। ପୁଣି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ବିଶ୍ବାସଘାତକତା ସମାପ୍ତ କଲାପ ରେ ଅନ୍ୟମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭପ୍ରତି ବିଶ୍ବାସଘାତକତା କରିବେ।
2 ସେତବେେଳେ ଲୋକମାନେ କହିବେ, ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି କୃପା କର। ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଅନୁଗ୍ରହକୁ ଅପେକ୍ଷା କରିଛୁ। ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ପ୍ରତି ପ୍ରଭାତ ରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ବାହୁସ୍ବରୂପ ହୁଅ। ସଙ୍କଟ ସମୟରେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ତ୍ରାଣକର୍ତ୍ତା ହୁଅ।
3 ତୁମ୍ଭର ଶକ୍ତିଶାଳୀ କୋଳାହଳ ରେ ଗୋଷ୍ଠୀଗଣ ପଳାଯନ କଲେ। ତୁମ୍ଭର ମହାନତା ଗୋଷ୍ଠୀଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଛିନ୍ନଭିନ୍ନ କଲା।'
4 ପତଙ୍କ ଖାଦ୍ୟ ସଂଗ୍ରହ କଲାପରି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ସମ୍ପତ୍ତି ଲୁଟିତ ସଂଗୃହିତ ହବେ। ଯେପରି ପତଙ୍ଗମାନେ ଡ଼ିଆଁ ମାରନ୍ତି, ସହେିପରି ବହୁଲୋକ ତା ଉପ ରେ ଡ଼ିଆଁ ମାରିବେ।
5 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଉନ୍ନତ, କାରଣ ସେ ଉର୍ଦ୍ଧ୍ବ ଲୋକରେ ବାସ କରନ୍ତି। ସେ ସିୟୋନକୁ ନ୍ଯାଯ ବିଚାର ଓ ଧାର୍ମିକତା ରେ ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ କରିଅଛନ୍ତି।
6 ହେ ୟିରୁଶାଲମ, ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପାଇଁ ନିରାପଦ ଆଣିବେ। ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ମୁକ୍ତି, ବୁଦ୍ଧି ଓ ଜ୍ଞାନ ରେ ଧନୀ କରିବେ। ସଞ୍ଚିତ ଧନ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଭୟର ବିଷଯକ, ତାହା ସେ ଦିଅନ୍ତି।
7 ମାତ୍ର ଶୁଣ, ସମାନଙ୍କେର ପରାକ୍ରମଶାଳୀ ମାନେ ବାହା ରେ କ୍ରନ୍ଦନ କରୁଛନ୍ତି। ଶାନ୍ତିକାମୀ ଦୂତମାନେ ଅତିଶଯ ରୋଦନ କରୁଛନ୍ତି।
8 ରାଜପଥ ଧ୍ବଂସପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ହାଇେଛି। ସଠାେ ରେ କହେି ପଥିକ ଦଖାେଯିବେ ନାହିଁ। ସମାନେେ ଚୁକ୍ତି ଭଙ୍ଗ କରିଛନ୍ତି। ନଗର ସବୁକୁ ତୁଚ୍ଛ କରିଛନ୍ତି ଏବଂ କହେି ହେଲେ ସମ୍ମାନ ହାଇେ ନାହାଁନ୍ତି।
9 ଦେଶ ଜଟିଳ ସମସ୍ଯା ଏବଂ ଅବସନ୍ନ ରୂପ ପରିଧାନ କରିଛି। ଲିବାନୋନ ଲଜ୍ଜିତ ଓ ଶୁଷ୍କ ଦଖାେ ଯାଉଛି, ଶାରୋଣ ଅରଣ୍ଯ ତୁଲ୍ଯ ଦଖାେ ଯାଉଛି। ବାଶନ୍ ଓ କର୍ମିଲର ପତ୍ର ଝାଡ଼ି ହାଇେଛି।
10 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ କୁହନ୍ତି, ଆମ୍ଭେ ଏବେ ଉଠିବା, ଆମ୍ଭେ ଏବେ ଆପଣାକୁ ଉଠାଇବା, ଆମ୍ଭେ ଏବେ ଉନ୍ନତ ହବୋ।
11 ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତୁଷ ସଦୃଶ ଗର୍ଭଧାରଣ କରି ନଡ଼ା ପ୍ରସବ କରିବ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଅଗ୍ନିସଦୃଶ ଆତ୍ମା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଗ୍ରାସ କରିବ।
12 ପୁଣି ଲୋକମନେ ଚୂନପରି ଭସ୍ମିଭୂତ ହବେେ ଓ ଅଗ୍ନି ରେ ଇଟା ଓ କଣ୍ଟକପରି ଶୀଘ୍ର ଦଗ୍ଧିଭୂତ ହବେେ।
13 ହେ ଦୂରବର୍ତ୍ତୀ ଲୋକଗଣ, ଦୟାକରି ତୁମ୍ଭ କାନି ଆଣି ମାେ କୃତକର୍ମର କଥା ଶୁଣ ଏବଂ ମାେ ନିକଟବର୍ତ୍ତୀ ସମୂହ, ଏହାକୁ ମାରେ ପରାକ୍ରମ ସ୍ବୀକାର କର।'
14 ସିୟୋନର ପାପୀଗଣ ଭୟଭୀତ, ମନ୍ଦାଚାରୀଗଣ ହଠାତ୍ କିତ ହେଉଛନ୍ତି। 2ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ଯରୁ କହେି ସର୍ବଗ୍ରାସୀ ଅଗ୍ନି ରେ ବାସ କରିପାରିବ ? ପୁଣି କହେି କବେେ ଅନନ୍ତକାଳ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଜ୍ବଳନ୍ତ ଅଗ୍ନି ରେ ବାସ କରିପାରିବ ?'
15 ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକମାନେ ଧର୍ମ ପଥରେ ଚାଲନ୍ତି ଓ ସରଳ କଥା କୁହନ୍ତି, ସମାନେେ ଉପଦ୍ରବକାଳ ଲାଭ ତୁଚ୍ଛ କରନ୍ତି। ଲାଞ୍ଚ ଧରିବା ବିଷଯରୁ ଆପଣା ହାତ ଝାଡ଼ି ଦିଅନ୍ତି। ରକ୍ତପାତ କଥା ଶ୍ରବଣରୁ ଆପଣା କର୍ଣ୍ଣ ରୋଧ କରନ୍ତି ଓ ଦୁଷ୍କର୍ମ ଦର୍ଶନରୁ ଚକ୍ଷୁ ମୁଦ୍ରିତ କରନ୍ତି।
16 ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ଉଚ୍ଚ ସ୍ଥାନ ରେ ବାସ କରିବେ। ସମାନେେ ଉଚ୍ଚ ଶୈଳ ନିର୍ମିତ ଦୁର୍ଗ ରେ ସୁରକ୍ଷିତ ହବେେ। ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଭକ୍ଷ୍ଯ ଓ ଜଳର ଅଭାବ ରହିବ ନାହିଁ।
17 ତୁମ୍ଭର ଚକ୍ଷୁ ରାଜାଙ୍କୁ ତାହାଙ୍କ ସୌନ୍ଦର୍ୟ୍ଯ ରେ ଦର୍ଶନ କରିବ। ଏକ ବହୁଦୂରବ୍ଯାପୀ ଦେଶକୁ ଦେଖିବ।
18 ତୁମ୍ଭର ହୃଦଯ ଭୟ ରେ ଥରିବେ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଭାବିବ, ସହେି ଗଣନାକାରୀ କାହିଁ ? ସହେି ଲୋକ କାହିଁ ୟିଏ ଓଜନ କରୁଥିଲା ? ସହେି ଲୋ କେଉଁଠା ରେ ୟିଏ ଦୁର୍ଗ ଗଣନା କରୁଥିଲା ?
19 ସହେି ଦୂରନ୍ତ ଜାତିଗଣ ଯେଉଁମାନଙ୍କର ଗଭୀର ଭାଷା ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଜାଣିପାରିଲ ନାହିଁ ଓ ଯେଉଁମାନଙ୍କର ବିଦେଶୀଯ ଭାଷାର ଗଭୀରତା ତୁମ୍ଭେ ବୁଝି ପାରିଲ ନାହିଁ, ସହେି ଗୋଷ୍ଠୀକୁ ଆଉ ଦେଖିବ ନାହିଁ।'
20 ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପବିତ୍ର ଧର୍ମସ୍ଥାନ ସିୟୋନ ନଗର ପ୍ରତି ଦୃଷ୍ଟି କର ; ଶାନ୍ତିମଯ ବସତିସ୍ଥାନ ୟିରୁଶାଲମ ପ୍ରତି ଲକ୍ଷ୍ଯ କର, ତାହା ଅଟଳ ତମ୍ବୁ ସ୍ବରୂପ ଓ ତାହାର କିଳାଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଏତେ ସୁଦୃଢ଼ ତାହା ଉପୁଡିବ ନାହିଁ କିମ୍ବା ଦଉଡ଼ି ଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଛିଣ୍ଡିବ ନାହିଁ।
21 କାହିଁକି ଏସବୁ ହବେ ? କାରଣ ପ୍ରବଳ ଶକ୍ତିମାନ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ସହାୟକ ହବେେ। ସେ ସ୍ଥାନ ପ୍ରଶସ୍ତ ନଦନଦୀ ଓ ଷୋର୍ତ ସମୂହର ସ୍ଥାନ ହବେ। କିନ୍ତୁ ସହେି ନଦୀମାନଙ୍କ ରେ ଆହୁଲା ୟୁକ୍ତ କୌଣସି ନେ ୗକା ଗତି କରିବ ନାହିଁ କି ଭୟଙ୍କର ଜାହାଜ ତାହାକୁ ଅତିକ୍ରମ କରିବ ନାହିଁ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସହେି ପୋତର ରଜ୍ଜୁ ଛାଡ଼ି ଦବେ।
22 ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଜାହାଜର ମାସ୍ତୁଲକୁ ଶକ୍ତ କରିବ ନାହିଁ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଜାହାଜକୁ ଖାଲିବୋକୁ କ୍ଷମ ହବେ ନାହିଁ। କାରଣ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ବିଚାରକର୍ତ୍ତା, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ବ୍ଯବସ୍ଥାପକ, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ରାଜା, ସେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ପରିତ୍ରାଣ କରିବେ।
23 ତେଣୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ବିପୁଳ ସମ୍ପଦ ଦବେେ। ଏପରିକି େଛାଟ ଲୋକ ମଧ୍ଯ ଲୁଟିତ ସମ୍ପଦ ପାଇବ।
24 ମୁଁ ପୀଡ଼ିତ ହାଇେ ସଠାେକାର ନିବାସୀ କହିବ ନାହିଁ। ସଠାେକାର ନିବାସୀମାନଙ୍କର ପାପ କ୍ଷମା କରାୟିବ।
1 Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
2 O Lord, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
3 At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.
4 And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.
5 The Lord is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the Lord is his treasure.
7 Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
9 The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.
10 Now will I rise, saith the Lord; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
11 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
12 And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
13 Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
18 Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.
20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
21 But there the glorious Lord will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
22 For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us.
23 Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
1 Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
2 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
3 And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the Lord!
4 And why have ye brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
5 And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.
6 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto them.
7 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.
9 And Moses took the rod from before the Lord, as he commanded him.
10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?
11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.
12 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
13 This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.
14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:
15 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:
16 And when we cried unto the Lord, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:
17 Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king’s high way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.
18 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
19 And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing any thing else, go through on my feet.
20 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.
21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
22 And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.
23 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,
24 Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.
25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:
26 And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there.
27 And Moses did as the Lord commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
28 And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.
29 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
