< भजनसंग्रह 10 >
1 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईं किन टाढा खडा हुनुहुन्छ? कष्टको समयमा तपाईं किन आफैलाई लुकाउनुहुन्छ?
Why, Jehovah, standest thou afar off? [Why] hidest thou thyself in times of distress?
2 आफ्नो अहङ्कारको कारणले दुष्ट मानिसहरूले थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूलाई लखेट्छन् । तर दुष्टहरूलाई तिनीहरू आफैले बनाएका योजनाहरूका पासोमा पर्न दिनुहोस् ।
The wicked, in his pride, doth hotly pursue the afflicted. They shall be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3 किनकि दुष्ट व्यक्तिले आफ्ना गहिरा इच्छाहरूमा घमण्ड गर्छ । त्यसले लालचीलाई आशिष् दिन्छ र परमप्रभुको अपमान गर्छ ।
For the wicked boasteth of his soul's desire, and he blesseth the covetous; he contemneth Jehovah.
4 दुष्ट मानिसको मुहार अहङ्कारपूर्ण छ । त्यसले परमेश्वरलाई खोज्दैन । त्यसले परमेश्वरको बारेमा कदापि विचार गर्दैन किनभने त्यसले उहाँको बारेमा केही वास्तै गर्दैन ।
The wicked [saith], in the haughtiness of his countenance, He doth not search out: all his thoughts are, There is no God!
5 त्यो हर समय ढुक्क हुन्छ, तर तपाईंका धार्मिक आदेशहरू त्यसको निम्ति अति उच्च छन् । त्यसले आफ्ना सबै शत्रुलाई घृणा गर्छ ।
His ways always succeed; thy judgments are far above out of his sight; [as for] all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.
6 त्यसले आफ्नो मनमा भन्छ, “म कहिल्यै असफल हुन्नँ । सारा पुस्ताभरि नै मैले दुर्दिन देख्नेछैन ।”
He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; from generation to generation I shall be in no adversity.
7 त्यसको मुख सराप, छलले र हानिकारक शब्दहरूले पूर्ण हुन्छ । त्यसको जिब्रोले घायल पार्छ र नाश गर्छ ।
His mouth is full of cursing, and deceit, and oppression; under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
8 त्यो गाउँको नजिकै ढुकेर बस्छ । गुप्त ठाउँहरूमा त्यसले निर्दोषको हत्या गर्छ । त्यसका आँखाले बेसाहारा पिडितलाई खोज्छ ।
He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; in the secret places doth he slay the innocent: his eyes watch for the wretched.
9 सिंह झाडीमा लुकेझैं त्यो गुप्तमा ढुक्छ । थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूलाई समात्न त्यो पर्खेर बस्छ । त्यसले आफ्नो जाल तान्दा थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूलाई समाउँछ ।
He lieth in wait secretly, like a lion in his thicket; he lieth in wait to catch the afflicted: he doth catch the afflicted, drawing him into his net.
10 त्यसका पन्जामा परेकाहरूलाई टेकिन्छन् र पिटिन्छन् । तिनीहरू त्यसको बलियो जालहरूमा फस्छन् ।
He croucheth, he boweth down, that the wretched may fall by his strong ones.
11 त्यसले आफ्नो मनमा भन्छ, “परमेश्वरले बिर्सनुभएको छ । उहाँले आफ्नो मुहार ढाक्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले हेर्ने कष्ट गर्नुहुनेछैन ।”
He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten, he hideth his face, he will never see [it].
12 हे परमप्रभु, उठ्नुहोस्! हे परमेश्वर, आफ्नो हात उठाउनुहोस्! तिचिएकाहरूलाई नबिर्सनुहोस् ।
Arise, Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand: forget not the afflicted.
13 किन दुष्ट मानिसले परमेश्वरलाई इन्कार गर्छन् र आफ्नो हृदयमा यसो भन्छ, “तपाईंले मलाई जवाफदेही बनाउनु हुनेछैन”?
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require [it].
14 तपाईंले ध्यान दिनुभएको छ, किनकि विपद र दुःख ल्याउनेलाई तपाईंले सदासर्वदा हेर्नुहुन्छ । बेसाहाराले आफैलाई तपाईंमा सुम्पन्छ । तपाईंले अनाथहरूलाई छुटकारा दिनुहुन्छ ।
Thou hast seen [it], for thou thyself beholdest trouble and vexation, to requite by thy hand. The wretched committeth himself unto thee; thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.
15 दुष्ट र खराब मानिसहरूको पाखुरा भाँच्नुहोस् । त्यसलाई आफ्नो दुष्ट कामहरूको लेखा लिनुहोस्, जुन तपाईंले पत्ता लगाउनु हुन्न भनी त्यसले सोच्यो ।
Break thou the arm of the wicked, and as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness [till] thou find none.
16 परमप्रभु सदासर्वदा राजा हुनुहुन्छ । जातिहरू उहाँको देशबाट लखेटिन्छन् ।
Jehovah is King for ever and ever: the nations have perished out of his land.
17 हे परमप्रभु, थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूको खाँचोहरूका बारेमा तपाईंले सुन्नुभएको छ । तपाईंले तिनीहरूका हृदयलाई मजबुत पार्नुहुन्छ, तपाईंले तिनीहरूका प्रार्थना सुन्नुहुन्छ ।
Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek, thou hast established their heart: thou causest thine ear to hear,
18 तपाईंले अनाथहरू र थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूको रक्षा गर्नुहुन्छ ताकि पृथ्वीका कुनै पनि मानिसले फेरि आतङ्कित नपारोस् ।
To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed one, that the man of the earth may terrify no more.
