भजनसंग्रह 104
1 मेरो सारा जीवनले म परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर्नेछु । हे परमप्रभु मेरो परमेश्वर, तपाई अति महान् हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईं वैभव र ऐश्वर्यले विभूषित हुनुहुन्छ ।
[I tell] myself that I should praise Yahweh. Yahweh, my God, you are very great! Like a king has on his royal robes [MET], you have honor and majesty/greatness all around you!
2 तपाईंले आफूलाई लुगाले झैं ज्योतिले ढाक्नुहुन्छ । तपाईंले आकाशलाई पालको पर्दालाई झैं फैलाउनुहुन्छ ।
You [created/caused] light to be like your robe [MET]. You spread out the sky like [a man sets up] a tent.
3 तपाईंले आफ्नो कोठाहरूका दलिनहरू बादलमा राख्नुहुन्छ । तपाईंले बदललाई आफ्नो रथ बनाउनुहुन्छ । तपाईं हावाको पखेटाहरूमा हिंड्नुहुन्छ ।
You made/put your home [in heaven], above the rain clouds in the sky, [like a man puts the] rafters of his house in place [MET]. You made/caused the clouds to be like chariots [to carry you].
4 उहाँले हावालाई आफ्नो दूतहरू र आगोका ज्वालाहरूलाई आफ्ना सेवकहरू बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
You caused the winds to be [like] your messengers [MET], and flames of fire to be [like] your servants.
5 उहाँले पृथ्वीका जगहरू बसाल्नुभयो र त्यो कहिल्यै हटाइनेछैन ।
You placed the world firmly on its foundation so that it can never be moved/shaken.
6 तपाईंले पृथ्वीलाई लुगाले झैं पानीले ढाक्नुभयो । पानीले पहाडहरू ढाके ।
[Later], you covered the earth with a flood, like a blanket, with the water that covered the mountains.
7 तपाईंको हप्कीले पानीहरू पछि हटेर गए । तपाईंको गर्जनको सोरमा तिनीहरू भागे ।
[But] when you rebuked the water, the oceans receded; your voice spoke like thunder, and then the waters rushed away.
8 तपाईंले तिनीहरूका निम्ति तोक्नुभएका ठाउँहरूमा पहाडहरू उठे र बेसीहरू फैलिए ।
Mountains rose up [from the water], and the valleys sank down to the levels that you had determined for them.
9 तपाईंले तिनीहरूका निम्ति सिमाना तोक्नुभएको छ, जुन तिनीहरूले नाघ्ने छैनन् । तिनीहरूले पृथ्वीलाई फेरि ढाक्नेछैनन् ।
[Then] you set a boundary for the oceans, a boundary that they cannot cross; their water will never again cover the [whole] earth.
10 उहाँले मूलहरूलाई बेसीहरूमा बगाउनुभयो । पहाडहरूका बिचबाट खोलाहरू बग्छन् ।
You make/cause springs to pour [water] into ravines; their [water] flows down between the mountains.
11 तिनीहरूले मैदानका सबै जनावरलाई पानी दिन्छन् । जङ्गली गधाहरूले आफ्नो तिर्खा मेटाउँछन् ।
Those [streams] provide water for all the animals [to drink]; the wild donkeys [drink the water and] are no longer thirsty.
12 नदीका किनाराहरूमा चराहरूले आफ्ना गुँड बनाउँछन् । तिनीहरूले हाँगाहरूमा गाउँछन् ।
Birds make their nests alongside [the streams], and they sing among the branches [of the trees].
13 आकाशमा भएको पानीका आफ्ना भण्डारहरूबाट उहाँले पहाडहरूलाई पानीले भिजाउनुहुन्छ । पृथ्वी उहाँको श्रमको फलले पूर्ण छ ।
From (your home in heaven/the sky) you send rain down on the mountains, and you fill the earth with many good things that you create.
14 उहाँले गाईवस्तुको निम्ति घाँस र मानिसलाई खेती गर्न बिरुवाहरू उमार्नुहुन्छ, ताकि मनिसले पृथ्वीबाट खानेकुरा उत्पादन गरोस् ।
You make/cause grass to grow for the cattle [to eat], and you make/cause plants to grow for people. In that way [animals and people] get their food from [what grows in] the soil.
15 मानिसलाई खुसी राख्न दाखमद्य, त्यसको अनुहार चम्किलो पार्न तेल र त्यसको जीवन बचाउन खानेकुरा उहाँले बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
We get [grapes to make] [MTY] wine to [drink and] make us cheerful, and we get [olives to make] [MTY] olive oil to [put on our] skin and cause it to shine, and we get [grain to make] [MTY] bread to give us strength.
16 परमप्रभुका रूखहरूले प्रशस्त पानी पाउँछन् । लेबनानको देवदारु जसलाई उहाँले रोप्नुभयो ।
Yahweh, you [send plenty of rain to] water your trees, the cedar [trees] that you planted in Lebanon.
17 चराहरूले त्यहाँ गुँड बनाउँछन् । सारसले सल्लाका रूखहरूलाई आफ्नो घर बनाउँछ ।
Birds make their nests in those [trees]; even storks make their nests in pine/fir trees.
18 घोरलहरू उच्च पहाडहरूतिर बस्छन् । पहाडका टाकुराहरू खरायोहरूका शरणस्थान हुन् ।
High up in the mountains the wild goats live, and hyraxes/badgers live in the crags/crevices in the rocks.
19 उहाँले चन्द्रमालाई ऋतु चिनाउनलाई तोक्नुभयो । सुर्यले आफ्नो अस्ताउने समय जान्दछ ।
[Yahweh], you made the moon to indicate the times for our festivals, and you made the sun that knows when to go down.
20 तपाईंले रातको अँध्यारो बनाउनुहुन्छ, जब वनका सबै पशुहरू बाहिर निस्किन्छन् ।
You bring darkness, and it becomes night, when all the animals in the forest prowl around, [looking for food].
21 जवान सिंहहरू आफ्ना शिकारको निम्ति गर्जिन्छन् र परमेश्वरबाट आफ्नो खानेकुरा खोज्छन् ।
At night the young lions roar as they seek their prey, [but] they depend on you to give them food.
22 जब सूर्य उदाउँछ, तिनीहरू फर्कन्छन् र आफ्ना खोरहरूमा सुत्छन् ।
At dawn, they go back to their dens and lie down.
23 यसबिच मानिसहरू आ-आफ्ना काममा बाहिर जान्छन् र साँझसम्म नै परिश्रम गर्छन् ।
And during the daytime, people go to their work; they work until it is evening.
24 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंका कामहरू कति धेरै र फरक किसिमका छन्! बुद्धिले तपाईंले तिनीहरू सबै बनाउनुभयो । पृथ्वी तपाईंको कामहरूले भरिन्छ ।
Yahweh, you have made so many different kinds of things! You were [very] wise as you made them all. The earth is full of the creatures that you [made].
25 त्यहाँ गहिरो र फराकिलो, साना र ठुला दुवै असंख्या प्राणीले भरिएको समुद्र छ ।
[We see] the ocean which is very large [DOU]! It is full of many kinds of living creatures, big ones and little ones.
26 पानी जहाजहरू त्यहाँ यात्रा गर्छन् र लिव्यातन पनि त्यहाँ छ, जसलाई तपाईंले समुद्रमा खेल्नलाई बनाउनुभयो ।
We see the ships which sail along! We see the huge sea monster, which you made to (splash around/play) in the sea.
27 यी सबैले समयमा आफ्नो खाना पाउनलाई तपाईंतिर हेर्छन् ।
All of those creatures depend on you to give them the food that they need.
28 तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुहुँदा, तिनीहरूले बटुल्छन् । तपाईंले आफ्नो हात खोल्नुहुँदा, तिनीहरू सन्तुष्ट हुन्छन् ।
When you give them the food that they need, they gather it. You give them what you have in your hand, and they [eat it and] are satisfied.
29 तपाईंले आफ्नो मुख लुकाउनुहुँदा, तिनीहरू संकष्टमा पर्छन् । तपाईंले तिनीहरूको सास लिनुभयो भने, तिनीहरू मर्छन् र धूलोमा फर्किन्छन् ।
[But] if you refuse to give food to them, they become terrified. And when you cause them to stop breathing, they die; their bodies [decay and] become soil again.
30 तपाईंले तपाईंको आत्मा पठाउनुहुँदा तिनीहरू सृष्टि हुन्छन् र तपाईंले गाउँलाई नयाँ तुल्याउनुहुन्छ ।
When you cause newborn creatures to begin to breathe, they start to live; you give new life to all the living creatures on the earth.
31 परमप्रभुको महिमा सदासर्वदा रहिरहोस् । परमप्रभु आफ्नो सृष्टिमा आनन्दित हुनुभएको होस् ।
I want the glory of Yahweh to last forever. I want him to rejoice about [all] the things that he has created.
32 उहाँले तल पृथ्वीमा हेर्नुहुन्छ र त्यो हल्लिन्छ । उहाँले पहाडहरूलाई छुनुहुन्छ र तिनीहरूमा धूवाँ निस्कन्छ ।
He causes the earth to shake [just] by looking at it! By [merely] touching the mountains he makes/causes them to pour out fire and smoke!
33 आफ्नो सारा जीवनभरि म परमप्रभुको निम्ति गीत गाउनेछु । म बाँचुन्जेल आफ्नो परमेश्वरको स्तुति गाउनेछु ।
I will sing to Yahweh (as long as I live/throughout my entire life). I will praise my God until the day that I die.
34 मेरो विचारहरू उहाँलाई मन पर्दो होस् । म परमप्रभुमा आनन्दित हुनेछु ।
I want Yahweh to be pleased by all those things that I have thought [about him], because I rejoice about [knowing] him.
35 पापीहरू पृथ्वीबाट लोप होऊन् र दुष्टहरू कदापि नरहून् । आफ्नो सारा जीवनभरि म परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर्छु । परमप्रभुको स्तुति होस् ।
[But] I desire that sinners will disappear from the earth, so that there will be no more wicked [people]! [But as for] me, I will praise Yahweh! (Praise him/Hallelujah)!
