< Psalms 129 >
1 A Song of Ascents. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up, let Israel now say;
“मेरो युवावस्थादेखि नै तिनीहरूले मलाई आक्रमण गरेका छन्,” इस्राएलले भनोस् ।
2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up: yet they have not prevailed against me.
“मेरो युवावस्थादेखि नै तिनीहरूले मलाई आक्रमण गरेका छन्, तापनि तिनीहरूले मलाई पराजित गरेका छैनन् ।
3 The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.
हलो जोत्नेहरूले मेरो ढाडमा जोते । तिमीहरूले आफ्ना हलोको डोबलाई लामो बनाए ।
4 The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
परमप्रभु धर्मी हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले दुष्टहरूका डोरीहरू काट्नुभएको छ ।”
5 Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all they that hate Zion.
सियोनलाई घृणा गर्नेहरू सबै जना लाजमा परून् र फर्केर जाऊन् ।
6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
तिनीहरू घरमाथिका घाँसहरूजस्ता होऊन् जुन बढ्नअगि नै ओइलाउँछ,
7 Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
जसले कटनी गर्नेको हात भर्न सक्दैन वा अन्नको बिटा बाँध्नेको छाती ढाक्न सक्दैन ।
8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.
त्यो बाटो हिंड्नेहरूले यसो नभनून्, “परमप्रभुको आशिष् तिमीमाथि रहोस् । तिमीलाई परमप्रभुको नाउँमा हामी आशिष् दिन्छौं ।”
