< Psalms 73 >

1 A Psalm. Of Asaph. Truly, God is good to Israel, even to such as are clean in heart.
निश्‍चय नै परमेश्‍वर इस्राएलको निम्‍ति, शुद्ध हृदय हुनेहरूका निम्‍ति भला हुनुहुन्छ ।
2 But as for me, my feet had almost gone from under me; I was near to slipping;
तर मेरो बारेमा, मेरा खुट्टाहरू झण्डै चिप्ले । मेरा खुट्टाहरू मेरो मुनिबाट झण्डै चिप्‍ले ।
3 Because of my envy of the men of pride, when I saw the well-being of the wrongdoers.
किनभने जब मैले दुष्‍टहरूका फलिफाप देखें, तब मैले अहङ्कारीहरूको डाह गरें ।
4 For they have no pain; their bodies are fat and strong.
किनकि मृत्युसम्म नै तिनीहरूलाई कुनै पीडा नै हुँछैन, तर तिनीहरू बलिया र स्वस्थ्य हुन्‍छन् ।
5 They are not in trouble as others are; they have no part in the unhappy fate of men.
अरू मानिसहरूका बोझहरूबाट तिनीहरू मुक्‍त छन् । अरू मानिसहरूलाई झैं तिनीहरूलाई कष्‍ट हुँदैन ।
6 For this reason pride is round them like a chain; they are clothed with violent behaviour as with a robe.
तिनीहरूका घाँटीमा सिक्रीझैं तिनीहरू घमण्डले सजिछन् । वस्‍त्रले ढाकेझैं तिनीहरूलाई हिंसाले ढाक्‍नेछ ।
7 Their eyes are bursting with fat; they have more than their heart's desire.
यस्ता अन्धोपनबाट नै पाप आउँछ । तिनीहरूका हृदयहरूबाट दुष्‍ट विचारहरू जान्छन् ।
8 Their thoughts are deep with evil designs; their talk from their seats of power is of cruel acts.
तिनीहरू दुष्‍टतापूर्वक गिल्ला गर्छन् र बोल्छन् । आफ्‍नो अहङ्कारमा तिनीहरूले अत्यचारको धम्की दिन्छन् ।
9 Their mouth goes up to heaven; their tongues go walking through the earth.
आफ्नो मुखले तिनीहरू स्वर्गको विरुद्धमा बोल्‍छन् र तिनीहरूका जिब्रोहरूले पृथ्वीको अधिकार गर्छन् ।
10 For this reason they are full of bread; and water is ever flowing for them.
यसकारण तिनका मानिसहरू तिनीहरूतिर फर्कन्छन् र प्रशस्‍त पानी बगाइन्छ ।
11 And they say, How will the Lord see this? is there knowledge in the Most High?
तिनीहरू भन्छन्, “परमेश्‍वरले कसरी जान्‍नुहुन्छ? के सर्वोच्‍चसँग ज्ञान छ र?”
12 Truly, such are the sinners; they do well at all times, and their wealth is increased.
हेर्नुहोस्ः यी मानिसहरू दुष्‍टहरू हुन् । तिनीहरू निश्‍चिन्त छन् र झन्-झन् धनी हुँदैछन् ।
13 As for me, I have made my heart clean to no purpose, washing my hands in righteousness;
निश्‍चय नै मैले व्यार्थमा मेरो हृदयलाई सुरक्षित राखेको छु र निर्दोषतामा मेरा हातहरू धोएको छु ।
14 For I have been troubled all the day; every morning have I undergone punishment.
किनकि म दिनभरि कष्‍टमा परेको छु र हरेक बिहान ताड्ना पाएको छु ।
15 If I would make clear what it is like, I would say, You are false to the generation of your children.
“म यी कुराहरू भन्‍नेछु,” भनी मैले भनेको भए, तपाईंका छोराछोरीका यो पुस्तालाई मैले धोका दिनेथिएँ ।
16 When my thoughts were turned to see the reason of this, it was a weariness in my eyes;
मैले यी कुराहरू बुझ्‍ने कोसिस गरे तापनि, मेरो निम्ति यो धेरै कठिन थियो ।
17 Till I went into God's holy place, and saw the end of the evil-doers.
तब म परमेश्‍वरको पवित्रस्थानभित्र गएँ र तिनीहरूका अन्‍तिम अवस्‍थालाई बुझें ।
18 You put their feet where there was danger of slipping, so that they go down into destruction.
निश्‍चय नै तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई चिप्‍लो ठाउँहरूमा राख्‍नुहुन्‍छ । तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई सर्वनाश लानुहुन्‍छ ।
19 How suddenly are they wasted! fears are the cause of their destruction.
तिनीहरू कसरी क्षणभरमा नै उजाडस्‍थान बने! तिनीहरूको अन्‍त भयो र भयानक त्रासहरूले समाप्‍त पारिए ।
20 As a dream when one is awake, they are ended; they are like an image gone out of mind when sleep is over.
कोही ब्युँझँदा, ती सपनामा भएजस्तो हुन्‍छन् । हे परमप्रभु, जब तपाई खडा हुनुहुन्छ, तब तपाईंले ती सपनाहरूका बारेमा केही विचार गर्नुहुन्‍न ।
21 My heart was made bitter, and I was pained by the bite of grief:
किनकि मेरो हृदय शोकमा परेको थियो र म गहिरो चोटमा परेको थिएँ ।
22 As for me, I was foolish, and without knowledge; I was like a beast before you.
म मूर्ख थिएँ र अन्तरदृष्‍टिको कमी थियो । तपाईंको सामु म मूर्ख पशुजस्तै थिएँ ।
23 But still I am ever with you; you have taken me by my right hand.
तापनि म सधैं तपाईंसँगै छु । तपाईंले मेरो दाहिने हात समात्‍नुहुन्‍छ ।
24 Your wisdom will be my guide, and later you will put me in a place of honour.
तपाईंले मलाई आफ्‍नो सल्लाहले मार्गदर्शन गर्नुहुनेछ र पछि मलाई महिमामा ग्रहण गर्नुहुनेछ ।
25 Whom have I in heaven but you? and having you I have no desire for anything on earth.
स्वर्गमा तपाईंबाहेक मेरो को छ र? पृथ्‍वीमा मैले इच्‍छा गर्ने तपाईंबाहेक अरू कोही छैन ।
26 My flesh and my heart are wasting away: but God is the Rock of my heart and my eternal heritage.
मेरो शरीर र मेरो मुटु कमजोर हुन्छन्, तर परमेश्‍वर नै सदासर्वदा मेरो हृदयको बल हुनुहुन्छ ।
27 For those who are far away from you will come to destruction: you will put an end to all those who have not kept faith with you.
तपाईंदेखि टाढा हुनेहरू नष्‍ट हुनेछन् । तपाईंप्रति विश्‍वासयोग्‍य नहुनेहरूलाई तपाईंले नष्‍ट पार्नुहुनेछ ।
28 But it is good for me to come near to God: I have put my faith in the Lord God, so that I may make clear all his works.
तर मेरो बारेमा, मैले गर्नुपर्ने कुराचाहिं परमेश्‍वरको नजिक जाने हो । परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरलाई मैले आफ्‍नो शरणस्थान बनाएको छु । तपाईंका सबै कामहरू म घोषणा गर्नेछु ।
