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, Maschil. We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.
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;
How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and didst plant them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast 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 they obtained not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour to them.
Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
5 ५ तेरे सहारे से हम अपने द्रोहियों को ढकेलकर गिरा देंगे; तेरे नाम के प्रताप से हम अपने विरोधियों को रौंदेंगे।
Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name we will tread them under that rise up against us.
For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.
In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. (Selah)
But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.
Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they who hate us have taken spoil for themselves.
Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for food; and hast scattered us among the heathen.
Thou sellest thy people for nothing, and dost not increase thy wealth 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 makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are around us.
14 १४ तूने हमको अन्यजातियों के बीच में अपमान ठहराया है, और देश-देश के लोग हमारे कारण सिर हिलाते हैं।
Thou makest us a by word among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.
My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.
All this is come upon us; yet we have not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;
Though thou hast greatly broke us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.
If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
Shall not God search out this? for 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।
Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.
Why hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth to the earth.
Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies’ sake.
