< भजनसंग्रह 10 >
1 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईं किन टाढा खडा हुनुहुन्छ? कष्टको समयमा तपाईं किन आफैलाई लुकाउनुहुन्छ?
Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? why dost thou slight us in our wants, in the time of trouble?
2 आफ्नो अहङ्कारको कारणले दुष्ट मानिसहरूले थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूलाई लखेट्छन् । तर दुष्टहरूलाई तिनीहरू आफैले बनाएका योजनाहरूका पासोमा पर्न दिनुहोस् ।
Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: they are caught in the counsels which they devise.
3 किनकि दुष्ट व्यक्तिले आफ्ना गहिरा इच्छाहरूमा घमण्ड गर्छ । त्यसले लालचीलाई आशिष् दिन्छ र परमप्रभुको अपमान गर्छ ।
For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: and the unjust man is blessed.
4 दुष्ट मानिसको मुहार अहङ्कारपूर्ण छ । त्यसले परमेश्वरलाई खोज्दैन । त्यसले परमेश्वरको बारेमा कदापि विचार गर्दैन किनभने त्यसले उहाँको बारेमा केही वास्तै गर्दैन ।
The sinner hath provoked the Lord according to the multitude of his wrath he will not seek him:
5 त्यो हर समय ढुक्क हुन्छ, तर तपाईंका धार्मिक आदेशहरू त्यसको निम्ति अति उच्च छन् । त्यसले आफ्ना सबै शत्रुलाई घृणा गर्छ ।
God is not before his eyes: his ways are filthy at all times. Thy judgments are removed from his sight: he shall rule over all his enemies.
6 त्यसले आफ्नो मनमा भन्छ, “म कहिल्यै असफल हुन्नँ । सारा पुस्ताभरि नै मैले दुर्दिन देख्नेछैन ।”
For he hath said in his heart: I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil.
7 त्यसको मुख सराप, छलले र हानिकारक शब्दहरूले पूर्ण हुन्छ । त्यसको जिब्रोले घायल पार्छ र नाश गर्छ ।
His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deceit: under his tongue are labour and sorrow.
8 त्यो गाउँको नजिकै ढुकेर बस्छ । गुप्त ठाउँहरूमा त्यसले निर्दोषको हत्या गर्छ । त्यसका आँखाले बेसाहारा पिडितलाई खोज्छ ।
He sitteth in ambush with the rich in private places, that he may kill the innocent.
9 सिंह झाडीमा लुकेझैं त्यो गुप्तमा ढुक्छ । थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूलाई समात्न त्यो पर्खेर बस्छ । त्यसले आफ्नो जाल तान्दा थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूलाई समाउँछ ।
His eyes are upon the poor man: He lieth in wait in secret like a lion in his den. He lieth in ambush that he may catch the poor man: to catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.
10 त्यसका पन्जामा परेकाहरूलाई टेकिन्छन् र पिटिन्छन् । तिनीहरू त्यसको बलियो जालहरूमा फस्छन् ।
In his net he will bring him down, he will crouch and fall, when he shall have power over the poor.
11 त्यसले आफ्नो मनमा भन्छ, “परमेश्वरले बिर्सनुभएको छ । उहाँले आफ्नो मुहार ढाक्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले हेर्ने कष्ट गर्नुहुनेछैन ।”
For he hath said in his heart: God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face not to see to the end.
12 हे परमप्रभु, उठ्नुहोस्! हे परमेश्वर, आफ्नो हात उठाउनुहोस्! तिचिएकाहरूलाई नबिर्सनुहोस् ।
Arise, O Lord God, let thy hand be exalted: forget not the poor.
13 किन दुष्ट मानिसले परमेश्वरलाई इन्कार गर्छन् र आफ्नो हृदयमा यसो भन्छ, “तपाईंले मलाई जवाफदेही बनाउनु हुनेछैन”?
Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? for he hath said in his heart: He will 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 seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands. To thee is the poor man left: thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.
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 sinner and of the malignant: his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.
16 परमप्रभु सदासर्वदा राजा हुनुहुन्छ । जातिहरू उहाँको देशबाट लखेटिन्छन् ।
The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish from his land.
17 हे परमप्रभु, थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूको खाँचोहरूका बारेमा तपाईंले सुन्नुभएको छ । तपाईंले तिनीहरूका हृदयलाई मजबुत पार्नुहुन्छ, तपाईंले तिनीहरूका प्रार्थना सुन्नुहुन्छ ।
The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart.
18 तपाईंले अनाथहरू र थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूको रक्षा गर्नुहुन्छ ताकि पृथ्वीका कुनै पनि मानिसले फेरि आतङ्कित नपारोस् ।
To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon earth.
