< भजनसंग्रह 104 >
1 मेरो सारा जीवनले म परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर्नेछु । हे परमप्रभु मेरो परमेश्वर, तपाई अति महान् हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईं वैभव र ऐश्वर्यले विभूषित हुनुहुन्छ ।
Give praise to the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are very great; you are robed with honour and power.
2 तपाईंले आफूलाई लुगाले झैं ज्योतिले ढाक्नुहुन्छ । तपाईंले आकाशलाई पालको पर्दालाई झैं फैलाउनुहुन्छ ।
You are clothed with light as with a robe; stretching out the heavens like a curtain:
3 तपाईंले आफ्नो कोठाहरूका दलिनहरू बादलमा राख्नुहुन्छ । तपाईंले बदललाई आफ्नो रथ बनाउनुहुन्छ । तपाईं हावाको पखेटाहरूमा हिंड्नुहुन्छ ।
The arch of your house is based on the waters; you make the clouds your carriage; you go on the wings of the wind:
4 उहाँले हावालाई आफ्नो दूतहरू र आगोका ज्वालाहरूलाई आफ्ना सेवकहरू बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
He makes winds his angels, and flames of fire his servants.
5 उहाँले पृथ्वीका जगहरू बसाल्नुभयो र त्यो कहिल्यै हटाइनेछैन ।
He has made the earth strong on its bases, so that it may not be moved for ever and ever;
6 तपाईंले पृथ्वीलाई लुगाले झैं पानीले ढाक्नुभयो । पानीले पहाडहरू ढाके ।
Covering it with the sea as with a robe: the waters were high over the mountains;
7 तपाईंको हप्कीले पानीहरू पछि हटेर गए । तपाईंको गर्जनको सोरमा तिनीहरू भागे ।
At the voice of your word they went in flight; at the sound of your thunder they went away in fear;
8 तपाईंले तिनीहरूका निम्ति तोक्नुभएका ठाउँहरूमा पहाडहरू उठे र बेसीहरू फैलिए ।
The mountains came up and the valleys went down into the place which you had made ready for them.
9 तपाईंले तिनीहरूका निम्ति सिमाना तोक्नुभएको छ, जुन तिनीहरूले नाघ्ने छैनन् । तिनीहरूले पृथ्वीलाई फेरि ढाक्नेछैनन् ।
You made a limit over which they might not go, so that the earth would never again be covered by them.
10 उहाँले मूलहरूलाई बेसीहरूमा बगाउनुभयो । पहाडहरूका बिचबाट खोलाहरू बग्छन् ।
You sent the springs into the valleys; they are flowing between the hills.
11 तिनीहरूले मैदानका सबै जनावरलाई पानी दिन्छन् । जङ्गली गधाहरूले आफ्नो तिर्खा मेटाउँछन् ।
They give drink to every beast of the field; the mountain asses come to them for water.
12 नदीका किनाराहरूमा चराहरूले आफ्ना गुँड बनाउँछन् । तिनीहरूले हाँगाहरूमा गाउँछन् ।
The birds of the air have their resting-places by them, and make their song among the branches.
13 आकाशमा भएको पानीका आफ्ना भण्डारहरूबाट उहाँले पहाडहरूलाई पानीले भिजाउनुहुन्छ । पृथ्वी उहाँको श्रमको फलले पूर्ण छ ।
He sends down rain from his store-houses on the hills: the earth is full of the fruit of his works.
14 उहाँले गाईवस्तुको निम्ति घाँस र मानिसलाई खेती गर्न बिरुवाहरू उमार्नुहुन्छ, ताकि मनिसले पृथ्वीबाट खानेकुरा उत्पादन गरोस् ।
He makes the grass come up for the cattle, and plants for the use of man; so that bread may come out of the earth;
15 मानिसलाई खुसी राख्न दाखमद्य, त्यसको अनुहार चम्किलो पार्न तेल र त्यसको जीवन बचाउन खानेकुरा उहाँले बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
And wine to make glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face shining, and bread giving strength to his heart.
16 परमप्रभुका रूखहरूले प्रशस्त पानी पाउँछन् । लेबनानको देवदारु जसलाई उहाँले रोप्नुभयो ।
The trees of the Lord are full of growth, the cedars of Lebanon of his planting;
17 चराहरूले त्यहाँ गुँड बनाउँछन् । सारसले सल्लाका रूखहरूलाई आफ्नो घर बनाउँछ ।
Where the birds have their resting-places; as for the stork, the tall trees are her house.
18 घोरलहरू उच्च पहाडहरूतिर बस्छन् । पहाडका टाकुराहरू खरायोहरूका शरणस्थान हुन् ।
The high hills are a safe place for the mountain goats, and the rocks for the small beasts.
19 उहाँले चन्द्रमालाई ऋतु चिनाउनलाई तोक्नुभयो । सुर्यले आफ्नो अस्ताउने समय जान्दछ ।
He made the moon for a sign of the divisions of the year; teaching the sun the time of its going down.
20 तपाईंले रातको अँध्यारो बनाउनुहुन्छ, जब वनका सबै पशुहरू बाहिर निस्किन्छन् ।
When you make it dark, it is night, when all the beasts of the woods come quietly out of their secret places.
21 जवान सिंहहरू आफ्ना शिकारको निम्ति गर्जिन्छन् र परमेश्वरबाट आफ्नो खानेकुरा खोज्छन् ।
The young lions go thundering after their food; searching for their meat from God.
22 जब सूर्य उदाउँछ, तिनीहरू फर्कन्छन् र आफ्ना खोरहरूमा सुत्छन् ।
The sun comes up, and they come together, and go back to their secret places to take their rest.
23 यसबिच मानिसहरू आ-आफ्ना काममा बाहिर जान्छन् र साँझसम्म नै परिश्रम गर्छन् ।
Man goes out to his work, and to his business, till the evening.
24 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंका कामहरू कति धेरै र फरक किसिमका छन्! बुद्धिले तपाईंले तिनीहरू सबै बनाउनुभयो । पृथ्वी तपाईंको कामहरूले भरिन्छ ।
O Lord, how great is the number of your works! in wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of the things you have made.
25 त्यहाँ गहिरो र फराकिलो, साना र ठुला दुवै असंख्या प्राणीले भरिएको समुद्र छ ।
There is the great, wide sea, where there are living things, great and small, more than may be numbered.
26 पानी जहाजहरू त्यहाँ यात्रा गर्छन् र लिव्यातन पनि त्यहाँ छ, जसलाई तपाईंले समुद्रमा खेल्नलाई बनाउनुभयो ।
There go the ships; there is that great beast, which you have made as a plaything.
27 यी सबैले समयमा आफ्नो खाना पाउनलाई तपाईंतिर हेर्छन् ।
All of them are waiting for you, to give them their food in its time.
28 तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुहुँदा, तिनीहरूले बटुल्छन् । तपाईंले आफ्नो हात खोल्नुहुँदा, तिनीहरू सन्तुष्ट हुन्छन् ।
They take what you give them; they are full of the good things which come from your open hand.
29 तपाईंले आफ्नो मुख लुकाउनुहुँदा, तिनीहरू संकष्टमा पर्छन् । तपाईंले तिनीहरूको सास लिनुभयो भने, तिनीहरू मर्छन् र धूलोमा फर्किन्छन् ।
If your face is veiled, they are troubled; when you take away their breath, they come to an end, and go back to the dust.
30 तपाईंले तपाईंको आत्मा पठाउनुहुँदा तिनीहरू सृष्टि हुन्छन् र तपाईंले गाउँलाई नयाँ तुल्याउनुहुन्छ ।
If you send out your spirit, they are given life; you make new the face of the earth.
31 परमप्रभुको महिमा सदासर्वदा रहिरहोस् । परमप्रभु आफ्नो सृष्टिमा आनन्दित हुनुभएको होस् ।
Let the glory of the Lord be for ever; let the Lord have joy in his works:
32 उहाँले तल पृथ्वीमा हेर्नुहुन्छ र त्यो हल्लिन्छ । उहाँले पहाडहरूलाई छुनुहुन्छ र तिनीहरूमा धूवाँ निस्कन्छ ।
At whose look the earth is shaking; at whose touch the mountains send out smoke.
33 आफ्नो सारा जीवनभरि म परमप्रभुको निम्ति गीत गाउनेछु । म बाँचुन्जेल आफ्नो परमेश्वरको स्तुति गाउनेछु ।
I will make songs to the Lord all my life; I will make melody to my God while I have my being.
34 मेरो विचारहरू उहाँलाई मन पर्दो होस् । म परमप्रभुमा आनन्दित हुनेछु ।
Let my thoughts be sweet to him: I will be glad in the Lord.
35 पापीहरू पृथ्वीबाट लोप होऊन् र दुष्टहरू कदापि नरहून् । आफ्नो सारा जीवनभरि म परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर्छु । परमप्रभुको स्तुति होस् ।
Let sinners be cut off from the earth, and let all evil-doers come to an end. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul. Give praise to the Lord.
