< 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 plowers plowed 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.”
