भजन संहिता 44
1 १ प्रधान बजानेवाले के लिये कोरहवंशियों का मश्कील हे परमेश्वर, हमने अपने कानों से सुना, हमारे बापदादों ने हम से वर्णन किया है, कि तूने उनके दिनों में और प्राचीनकाल में क्या-क्या काम किए हैं।
To the Chief Musician. For the Sons of Korah. An Instructive Psalm. O God! with our own ears, have we heard, Our fathers, have recounted to us, —The work thou didst work, In their day, In the days of aforetime:
2 २ तूने अपने हाथ से जातियों को निकाल दिया, और इनको बसाया; तूने देश-देश के लोगों को दुःख दिया, और इनको चारों ओर फैला दिया;
Thou thyself, with thine own hand—Didst dispossess, nations, and didst plant them, Didst break peoples in pieces, and didst spread them out:
3 ३ क्योंकि वे न तो अपनी तलवार के बल से इस देश के अधिकारी हुए, और न अपने बाहुबल से; परन्तु तेरे दाहिने हाथ और तेरी भुजा और तेरे प्रसन्न मुख के कारण जयवन्त हुए; क्योंकि तू उनको चाहता था।
For, not by their own sword, gat they possession of the land, Nor did, their own arm, win victory for them, —But thine own right hand, and thine own arm, and the light of thy face, Because thou hadst accepted them.
Thou thyself, art my king, O God, Command thou the victories of Jacob.
5 ५ तेरे सहारे से हम अपने द्रोहियों को ढकेलकर गिरा देंगे; तेरे नाम के प्रताप से हम अपने विरोधियों को रौंदेंगे।
By thee, will we thrust at, our adversaries, In thy Name, will we tread down our assailants;
For, not in my bow, will I trust, Nor shall, my sword, give me victory;
For thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And, them who hated us, hast thou put to shame.
In God, have we boasted all the day, And, thy Name—unto times age-abiding, will we praise. (Selah)
But nay thou hast rejected, and confounded us, And wilt not go forth with our hosts;
Thou sufferest us to turn back from the adversary, And, they who hate us, have plundered at will:
Thou dost give us up like sheep to be devoured, And, amongst the nations, hast thou scattered us.
Thou dost sell thy people for, no-value, And hast not made increase by their price.
13 १३ तू हमारे पड़ोसियों से हमारी नामधराई कराता है, और हमारे चारों ओर के रहनेवाले हम से हँसी ठट्ठा करते हैं।
Thou dost make us, A reproach to our neighbours, A mockery and a derision to them who are round about us:
14 १४ तूने हमको अन्यजातियों के बीच में अपमान ठहराया है, और देश-देश के लोग हमारे कारण सिर हिलाते हैं।
Thou dost make us, A by-word among the nations, —A shaking of the head among the peoples.
All the day, is my confusion before me, And, the shame of my face, hath covered me:
At the voice of him who reproacheth and revileth, At the face of the foe and avenger.
All this, hath come upon us, Yet had we not forgotten thee, Neither had we dealt falsely with thy covenant;
Our heart had not drawn back, Nor had our goings swerved from thy path;
That thou shouldst have crushed us down in the place of wild dogs, And covered us over with a deadly shadow.
If we had forgotten the Name of our God, And had spread forth our hands unto the GOD of the foreigner,
Would not, God, have searched into this, Seeing that, he, knoweth the secrets of the heart?
22 २२ परन्तु हम दिन भर तेरे निमित्त मार डाले जाते हैं, और उन भेड़ों के समान समझे जाते हैं जो वध होने पर हैं।
Surely, for thy sake, have we been slain all the day, We have been accounted as sheep for slaughter.
Awake thou! wherefore shouldst thou sleep, O Lord? Bestir thee! do not reject us altogether!
Wherefore shouldst thou hide, thy face? Shouldst forget our humiliation and our oppression?
For our soul, sinketh down to the dust, Our body, cleaveth to the earth.
Arise to our help, And ransom us, because of thine own lovingkindness.
