भजनसंग्रह 129

1 “मेरो युवावस्थादेखि नै तिनीहरूले मलाई आक्रमण गरेका छन्,” इस्राएलले भनोस् ।

A Song of Degrees. Many a time have they warred against me from my youth, let Israel now say:

2 “मेरो युवावस्थादेखि नै तिनीहरूले मलाई आक्रमण गरेका छन्, तापनि तिनीहरूले मलाई पराजित गरेका छैनन् ।

Many a time have they warred against me from my youth: and yet they prevailed not against me.

3 हलो जोत्‍नेहरूले मेरो ढाडमा जोते । तिमीहरूले आफ्‍ना हलोको डोबलाई लामो बनाए ।

The sinners wrought upon my back: they prolonged their iniquity.

4 परमप्रभु धर्मी हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले दुष्‍टहरूका डोरीहरू काट्नुभएको छ ।”

The righteous Lord has cut asunder the necks of sinners.

5 सियोनलाई घृणा गर्नेहरू सबै जना लाजमा परून् र फर्केर जाऊन् ।

Let all that hate Sion be put to shame and turned back.

6 तिनीहरू घरमाथिका घाँसहरूजस्ता होऊन् जुन बढ्नअगि नै ओइलाउँछ,

Let them be as the grass of the housetops, which withers before it is plucked up.

7 जसले कटनी गर्नेको हात भर्न सक्दैन वा अन्‍नको बिटा बाँध्‍नेको छाती ढाक्‍न सक्दैन ।

Wherewith the reaper fills not his hand, nor he that makes up the sheaves, his bosom.

8 त्यो बाटो हिंड्‍नेहरूले यसो नभनून्, “परमप्रभुको आशिष्‌‌‌ तिमीमाथि रहोस् । तिमीलाई परमप्रभुको नाउँमा हामी आशिष्‌ ‌‌दिन्छौं ।”

Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
