भजन संहिता 79
1 १ आसाप का भजन हे परमेश्वर, अन्यजातियाँ तेरे निज भाग में घुस आईं; उन्होंने तेरे पवित्र मन्दिर को अशुद्ध किया; और यरूशलेम को खण्डहर कर दिया है।
God, other people-groups have invaded your land. They have (desecrated your temple/caused your temple to be unfit for worship), and they have destroyed all the buildings in Jerusalem.
2 २ उन्होंने तेरे दासों की शवों को आकाश के पक्षियों का आहार कर दिया, और तेरे भक्तों का माँस पृथ्वी के वन-पशुओं को खिला दिया है।
[Instead of burying] the corpses of your people [whom they killed], they allowed vultures and wild animals to eat the flesh of those corpses,
When they killed your people, your people’s blood flowed like water through [the streets of] Jerusalem, and there was [almost] no one [HYP] left to bury their corpses.
The people-groups that live in countries that surround our land insult us; they laugh at us and deride/belittle us.
Yahweh, how long [will this continue]? Will you be angry with us forever? Will your being angry [destroy us like] a burning fire [destroys things]?
6 ६ जो जातियाँ तुझको नहीं जानती, और जिन राज्यों के लोग तुझ से प्रार्थना नहीं करते, उन्हीं पर अपनी सब जलजलाहट भड़का!
[Instead of being angry with us], be angry with the people-groups that do not know/worship you! Be angry with kingdoms whose people do not pray to you,
because they have killed Israeli people and they have ruined your country.
8 ८ हमारी हानि के लिये हमारे पुरखाओं के अधर्म के कामों को स्मरण न कर; तेरी दया हम पर शीघ्र हो, क्योंकि हम बड़ी दुर्दशा में पड़े हैं।
Do not punish us because of the sins that our ancestors committed! Be merciful to us now/quickly, because we are very discouraged.
9 ९ हे हमारे उद्धारकर्ता परमेश्वर, अपने नाम की महिमा के निमित्त हमारी सहायता कर; और अपने नाम के निमित्त हमको छुड़ाकर हमारे पापों को ढाँप दे।
God, you have saved/rescued [us many times], [so] help us [now]; rescue us and forgive us for having sinned in order that other people will honor you [MTY].
10 १० अन्यजातियाँ क्यों कहने पाएँ कि उनका परमेश्वर कहाँ रहा? तेरे दासों के खून का पलटा अन्यजातियों पर हमारी आँखों के सामने लिया जाए।
It is not right that [RHQ] other people-groups say [about us], “If their God [is very powerful], (surely he should help them/why does he not [help them])?” Allow us to see you punishing the people of other nations in return for their shedding our blood; they have killed many of us, your people.
Listen to your people groaning while they are in prison, and by your great power free those whom our enemies say that they will certainly execute.
In return for their having [often] insulted you, punish them seven times as much!
13 १३ तब हम जो तेरी प्रजा और तेरी चराई की भेड़ें हैं, तेरा धन्यवाद सदा करते रहेंगे; और पीढ़ी से पीढ़ी तक तेरा गुणानुवाद करते रहेंगे।
After you do that, we, whom you [take care of like a shepherd takes care of] his sheep, will continue praising you; we will continue to praise you forever [HYP].
