भजनसंग्रह 137
1 बेबिलोनका नदीहरूका छेउमा बसेर हामीले सियोनको बारेमा विचार गर्दा हामी रोयौं ।
By the rivers of Babylon we were seated, weeping at the memory of Zion,
2 त्यहाँका लहरे पिपलका रूखहरूमा हामीले आफ्ना वीणाहरू झुन्डायौं ।
Hanging our instruments of music on the trees by the waterside.
3 हामीलाई कैद गरेर लानेहरूले त्यहाँ हामीलाई गीत गाउन लगाए र हामीलाई गिल्ला गर्नेहरूले हामीलाई यसो भन्दै खुसी होओ भने, “हाम्रा निम्ति सियोनका गीतमध्ये एउटा गाओ ।”
For there those who had taken us prisoners made request for a song; and those who had taken away all we had gave us orders to be glad, saying, Give us one of the songs of Zion.
4 विदेशी भूमिमा परमप्रभुको बारेमा हामीले कसरी गीत गाउन सक्थ्यौं?
How may we give the Lord's song in a strange land?
5 हे यरूशलेम, मैले तेरो सम्झनालाई बेवास्ता गर्छु भने, मेरो दाहिने हातले आफ्नो सीप बिर्सोस् ।
If I keep not your memory, O Jerusalem, let not my right hand keep the memory of its art.
6 मैले तेरो बारेमा फेरि विचार गरिनँ भने, आफ्ना सबभन्दा ठुलो आनन्दभन्दा बढी मैले तेरो चाह गरिनँ भने, मेरो जिब्रो मेरै तालुमा टाँसियोस् ।
If I let you go out of my thoughts, and if I do not put Jerusalem before my greatest joy, let my tongue be fixed to the roof of my mouth.
7 हे परमप्रभु, यरूशलेमको पतन भएको दिनमा एदोमीहरूले के गरे सो स्मरण गर्नुहोस् । तिनीहरूले भने, “यसलाई भत्काओ, यसको तल जगैसमेत भत्काओ ।”
O Lord, keep in mind against the children of Edom the day of Jerusalem; how they said, Let it be uncovered, uncovered even to its base.
8 बेबिलोनकी छोरी, चाँडै नष्ट हुन्छ । तैंले हामीलाई जे गरिस् त्यसको बदला लिने व्यक्ति धन्यको होस् ।
O daughter of Babylon, whose fate is destruction; happy is the man who does to you what you have done to us.
9 जसले तेरा सा-साना बालबच्चालाई लिएर चट्टानमा पछार्छ, त्यो व्यक्ति धन्यको होस् ।
Happy is the man who takes your little ones, crushing them against the rocks.
