भजनसंग्रह 129

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

A song of ascents. “Often since my youth they have attacked me,” let Israel say.

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

“Often since my youth they have attacked me, yet they have not defeated me.

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

The plowers plowed on my back; they made their furrows long.

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

Yahweh is righteous; he has cut the ropes of the wicked.”

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

May they all be put to shame and turned back, those who hate Zion.

6 तिनीहरू घरमाथिका घाँसहरूजस्ता होऊन् जुन बढ्नअगि नै ओइलाउँछ,

May they be like the grass on the housetops that withers before it grows up,

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

that cannot fill the reaper's hand or the chest of the one who binds bundles of grain together.

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

May those who pass by not say, “May the blessing of Yahweh be on you; we bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
