भजनसंग्रह 129

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

A Song of Ascents. Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say:

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

many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.

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

The ploughers ploughed on my back. They made their furrows long.

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

The LORD is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.

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

Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.

6 तिनीहरू घरमाथिका घाँसहरूजस्ता होऊन् जुन बढ्नअगि नै ओइलाउँछ,

Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,

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

with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

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

Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of the LORD be on you. We bless you in the LORD’s name.”
