Psalms 48
1 Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be greatly praised in the city where he [lives], [which is built on Zion], his sacred hill.
परमप्रभु महान् हुनुहुन्छ र हाम्रा परमेश्वरको सहर उहाँको पवित्र पर्वतमा ज्यादै धेरै प्रशंसा हुनुपर्छ ।
2 That city, on a high [hill], is beautiful; it is the city where the true [God], the great king, [lives], and it causes people all over the world to rejoice [when they see it].
महान् राजाको सहरको उत्तरमा अवस्थित सियोन पर्वत उच्च ठाउँमा सुन्दर, सारा पृथ्वीको आनन्द हो ।
3 God is in the strong towers there, and he shows that he protects the people in that city.
त्यसका दरबारहरूमा परमेश्वरले आफैलाई शरणस्थानको रूपमा प्रकट गर्नुभएको छ ।
4 Many kings gathered [with their armies] to attack [that city],
हेर्नुहोस्, राजाहरू आफै भेला भए । तिनीहरू सँगसँगै अघि बढे ।
5 but when they saw it, they were amazed; they became terrified, and ran away.
जब तिनीहरूले यो देखे, तब तिनीहरू चकित भए । तिनीहरू भयभित भए र तिनीहरू हतार गरेर गए ।
6 Because they were very afraid, they trembled like a woman who is about to give birth to a child;
कम्पले तिनीहरूलाई समात्यो, प्रसव वेदना परेकी स्त्रीझैं पीडित भए ।
7 they shook [like] ships sailing from Tarshish are shaken by a strong wind.
पूर्वीय बतासले तपाईंले तर्शीशका जहाजहरू तोड्नुहुन्छ ।
8 We had heard [that this city is glorious], and now we have seen that it is. It is the city in which Yahweh, the almighty one, [lives]. It is the city which God will preserve/protect forever.
सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरको सहरमा हामीले जस्तो सुनेका छौं त्यस्तै हामीले देखेका छौं । परमेश्वरले यसलाई सदासर्वदाको निम्ति स्थापित गर्नुहुनेछ । सेला
9 God, [here] in your temple we think about how you faithfully love us.
हे परमेश्वर, हामीले तपाईंको मन्दिरको बिचमा तपाईंको करारको विश्वस्तताका बारेमा विचार गरेका छौं ।
10 You [MTY] are famous and (are praised/people praise you) all over the earth, because you rule powerfully [MTY] and justly.
हे परमेश्वर, तपाईंको नाउँ जस्तो छ पृथ्वीको अन्तिम छेउसम्म तपाईंको प्रशंसा त्यस्तै छ । तपाईंको दाहिने हात धार्मिकताले पूर्ण छ ।
11 The people who live near Zion Hill should be happy! The people in [all] the cities [MTY] in Judah should rejoice because you judge people fairly.
तपाईंका धार्मिक आदेशहरूका कारणले सियोन पर्वत खुसी होस्, यहूदाका छोरीहरू आनन्दित होऊन् ।
12 [You Israeli people should] walk around Zion [Hill] and count the towers there;
सियोन पर्वत वरिपरि हिंड, त्यसको चारैतिर जाओ । त्यसका धरहराहरू गन्ती गर,
13 notice the walls there and examine the forts in order that you can tell about them to your children.
त्यसका पर्खालहरू ध्यान लगाएर हेर, र त्यसका दरबारहरू हेर, ताकि तिमीहरूले अर्को पुस्तालाई यसको बारेमा बताउन सक्छौ ।
14 [Say to them], “This is [the city that belongs to] our God, [the one who lives] forever; he will guide us all of our lives.”
किनकि यही परमेश्वर सदासर्वदा हाम्रा परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ । मृत्युसम्म नै हामीलाई बाटो देखाउने उहाँ नै हुनुहुन्छ ।
