भजनसंग्रह 144
1 परमप्रभु मेरा चट्टानको स्तुति होस्, जसले युद्ध गर्न मेरा हातहरूलाई र लडन्त गर्न मेरा औंलाहरूलाई तालिम दिनुहुन्छ ।
I praise Yahweh, who is [like an overhanging] rock [under which I] ([get refuge/am protected])! He trains my hands so that I can use them to fight battles; he trains my fingers so that I can [shoot arrows in a war].
2 तपाईं मेरो करारको विश्वस्तता र मेरो किल्ला हुनुहुन्छ । मेरो अग्लो धरहरा जसले मलाई बचाउनुहुन्छ । मेरो ढाल र एक मात्र जसमा म शरण लिन्छु । एक मात्र जसले जातिहरूलाई मेरो अधीनमा पार्नुहुन्छ ।
He is the one who protects me; he is [like] a fortress [DOU] in which I am safe, he protects me [like] [protect soldiers] [MET], and he gives me refuge. He defeats [other] nations and [then] puts them under my power.
3 हे परमप्रभु, मानिस के हो र तपाईंले त्यसलाई ध्यान दिनुहुन्छ वा मानिसको छोरो को हो जसको बारेमा तपाईंले विचार गर्नुहुन्छ?
Yahweh, [we] people are [very insignificant/unimportant], so why (are you concerned/do you care about us) [RHQ]? [It is amazing to me that] you pay attention to humans.
4 मानिस एकपल्टको सासजस्तो हो । त्यसका दिनहरू बितेर जाने छायाजस्ता हो ।
[The time that we live is as short] as [SIM] a puff of wind; our time to live disappears like a shadow does.
5 हे परमप्रभु, आकाशलाई खोल्नुहोस् र तल आउनुहोस् । पहाडहरू छुनुहोस् र तिनीहरूबाट धूवाँ निकाल्नुहोस् ।
Yahweh, (tear open/open up) the sky and come down! Touch the mountains in order that smoke will pour out from them!
6 बिजुलीका चमकहरू पठाउनुहोस् र मेरा शत्रुहरूलाई छरपष्ट पार्नुहोस् । तपाईंका काँडहरू हान्नुहोस् र तिनीहरूलाई गोलमालमा पछाडि फर्काउनुहोस् ।
Cause lightning to flash with the result that [your enemies] will run away! Shoot your arrows [at them] and cause them to (run away/scatter).
7 माथिबाट आफ्नो हात पसार्नुहोस् । धेरै पानीबाट र विदेशीहरूका हातबाट मलाई बचाउनुहोस् ।
[It is as though my enemies surround me like] a flood; reach your hand down from heaven and rescue me from them [SYN]. They are men from other countries
8 तिनीहरूका मुखहरूले झुटा बोल्छन् र तिनीहरूका दाहिने हात झुटा हो ।
who [SYN] [always] tell lies. [Even in a courtroom where they swear to tell the truth] they tell lies.
9 हे परमेश्वर, म तपाईंको निम्ति एउटा नयाँ गीत गाउनेछु । दस तारे वीणासँगै म तपाईंको स्तुति गाउनेछु,
God, I will sing a new song to you, and I will play my ten-stringed harp [while I sing] to you.
10 जसले राजाहरूलाई उद्धार दिनुहुन्छ, जसले आफ्नो सेवक दाऊदलाई दुष्ट तरवारबाट बचाउनुभयो ।
You enable kings to defeat [their enemies]; and you rescued me, your servant David, from [being killed by] my enemies’ swords.
11 मलाई विदेशीहरूका हातहरूबाट बचाउनुहोस् र स्वतन्त्र गर्नुहोस् । तिनीहरूका मुखहरूले झुटा बोल्छन् र तिनीहरूका दाहिने हात झुटा हो ।
[So I ask you to] save me from [being killed by] the swords [that those] evil [people carry]. Rescue me from the power [MTY] of those foreigners who [SYN] [always] tell lies, and [who raise] their right hands [in courtrooms when they solemnly declare that they will tell the truth].
12 हाम्रा छोराहरू आफ्नो जवान अवस्थाको पूर्ण आकारमा वृद्धि भएका रूखहरूजस्ता र हाम्रा छोरीहरू कुँदिएका कुनामा खम्बाहरूजस्ता, दरबारका जस्तै रूपवती होऊन् ।
I wish/hope that our young sons will grow up to be like strong plants [SIM], and I wish/hope that our daughters will [grow up to] be [straight and tall] like the pillars [SIM] that stand in the corners of palaces.
13 हाम्रा अन्नभण्डारहरू हरेक किसिमको अन्नहरूले भरिपूर्ण होऊन् र हाम्रा भेडाहरूले मैदानहरूमा हजारौं र दसौं हजार उत्पादन गरून् ।
I wish/hope that our barns will be full of many different crops. I wish/hope that the sheep in our fields will give birth to tens of thousands of baby lambs.
14 अनि हाम्रा गोरूहरूमा धेरै बहरहरू हुनेछन् । कसैले पनि हाम्रा पर्खालहरू भत्काउनेछैन । त्यहाँ कोही पनि निर्वासित हुनेछैन र हाम्रा सडकहरूमा कुनै चित्कार हुनेछैन ।
I wish/hope that our cows will give birth to many calves without having any miscarriages or deaths when they are born (OR, that no enemies will break through our city walls and take us (into exile/to their own countries)). I wish/hope that [there will not be a time when the people in] our streets cry out in distress [because foreign armies are invading].
15 यस्ता आशिष्ले आशिषित् भएका मानिस धन्यको होऊन् । यस्ता मानिसहरू धन्यका हुन् जसका परमेश्वर परमप्रभु हुनुहुन्छ ।
If good things like that happen to a nation, the people will be very happy. The people whose God is Yahweh are the ones who will be happy!
