< भजनसंग्रह 18 >

1 हे परमप्रभु, मेरो बल, म तपाईंलाई प्रेम गर्छु ।
I love thee, O LORD, my strength!
2 परमप्रभु मेरो चट्टान, मेरो किल्ला हुनुहुन्छ, जसले मलाई सुरक्षामा लानुहुन्छ । उहाँ मेरो परमेश्‍वर, मेरो चट्टाना हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँमा नै म शरण लिन्‍छु । उहाँ मेरो ढाल, मेरो उद्धारको सिङ् र मेरो किल्ला हुनुहुन्छ ।
Jehovah is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I trust; My shield, my strong defence, and my high tower.
3 म परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गर्छु जो प्रशंसायोग्य हुनुहुन्छ र म आफ्‍ना शत्रुहरूबाट बाँच्‍नेछु ।
I called upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, And was delivered from my enemies.
4 मृत्युका डोरीहरूले मलाई बाँधे र व्‍यर्थका छालहरूले मलाई व्याकुल बनाए ।
The snares of death encompassed me; The floods of destruction filled me with dismay;
5 चिहानका डोरीहरूले मलाई बाँधे । मृत्युको पासोले मलाई समात्‍यो । (Sheol h7585)
The snares of the underworld surrounded me, And the nets of death seized upon me. (Sheol h7585)
6 मेरो कष्‍टमा, मैले परमप्रभुमा पुकारा गरें । मैले सहायताको निम्ति मेरो परमेश्‍वरमा पुकारा गरें । उहाँले आफ्नो मन्दिरबाट मेरो सोर सुन्‍नुभयो । सहायताको निम्ति मेरो पुकारा उहाँको उपस्थितिमा गयो । यो उहाँको कानहरूभित्र गयो ।
In my distress I called upon the LORD, And cried unto my God; He heard my voice from his palace, And my cry came before him into his ears.
7 तब पृथ्वी हल्लियो र काम्‍यो । पहाडहरूका जगहरू पनि कामे र हल्‍लिए किनभने परमेश्‍वर रिसाउनुभयो ।
Then the earth quaked and trembled; The foundations of the mountains rocked and were shaken, Because his wrath was kindled.
8 उहाँको नाकका प्वालहरूबाट धूँवा माथि गयो र उहाँको मुखबाट बल्दो आगो निस्केर आयो । यसले कोइलाहरू बाल्‍यो ।
A smoke went up from his nostrils, And fire from his mouth devoured; Burning coals shot forth from him.
9 उहाँले स्वर्ग खोल्नुभयो, र तल आउनुभयो र उहाँको पाउमुनि बाक्‍लो अध्याँरो थियो ।
He bowed the heavens, and came down; And darkness was under his feet;
10 उहाँ करूबमा चढ्नुभयो र उड्नुभयो । हावाको पखेटाहरूमा उहाँ सवार हुनुभयो ।
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; Yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
11 अन्धकार र आकाशको बाक्‍लो बादललाई उहाँले आफ्‍नो वरिपरिको पाल बनाउनुभयो ।
And he made darkness his covering; His pavilion round about him was dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
12 उहाँको सामु बिजुलीबाट असिना र आगोका भुङ्ग्रोहरू झरे ।
At the brightness before him, his thick clouds passed away; Then came hailstones and coals of fire.
13 परमप्रभु स्वर्गबाट गर्जनुभयो । सर्वोच्‍चको आवाजले कराउनुयो ।
The LORD also thundered from heaven, And the Most High uttered his voice, Amid hailstones and coals of fire.
14 उहाँले आफ्ना वाणहरू प्रहार गर्नुभयो र आफ्‍ना शत्रुहरूलाई तितरबितर पार्नुभयो । धेरै चट्याङहरूले तिनीहरूलाई तितरबितर पारे ।
He sent forth his arrows, and scattered them; Continual lightnings, and discomfited them.
15 तब पानीका धारहरू देखा परे । हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंको हप्‍की र तपाईंको नाकको प्वालहरूका सासको विष्फोटले संसारका जगहरू उदाङ्गो पारिए ।
Then the channels of the deep were seen, And the foundations of the earth were laid bare At thy rebuke, O LORD! At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16 उहाँले माथिबाट हात पसार्नुभयो । उहाँले मलाई समात्‍नुभयो । उहाँले मलाई उर्लंदो पानीबाट बाहिर निकाल्नुभयो ।
He stretched forth his hand from above; he took me, And drew me out of deep waters.
17 मेरो बलियो शत्रुबाट, मलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूबाट उहाँले मलाई बचाउनुभयो, किनकि तिनीहरू मेरो निम्ति अति बलिया थिए ।
He delivered me from my strong enemy; From my adversaries, who were too powerful for me.
18 मेरो कष्‍टको दिनमा तिनीहरू मेरो विरुद्ध आए तर परमप्रभु नै मेरो सहारा हुनुभयो ।
They fell upon me in the day of my calamity; But the LORD was my stay.
19 उहाँले मलाई फराकिलो ठाउँमा स्‍वतन्‍त्र राख्‍नुभयो । उहाँले मलाई बचाउनुभयो किनभने उहाँ मसँग खुसी हुनुभयो ।
He brought me forth into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 मेरो धार्मिकताको कारणले परमप्रभुले मलाई इनाम दिनुभएको छ । उहाँले मलाई पुनर्स्थापना गर्नुभएको छ किनभने मेरा हातहरू शुद्ध थिए ।
The LORD hath rewarded me according to my righteous; According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21 किनकि मैले परमप्रभुका मार्गहरू मैले पालन गरेको छु र मेरो परमेश्‍वरबाट दुष्‍टतासाथ फर्केको छैन ।
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, And have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 किनकि उहाँका सबै धार्मिक आदेशहरू मेरो सामु छन् । उहाँको नियमहरूको बारेमा, तिबाट म भड्केको छैन ।
For all his laws were in my sight; I did not put away his statutes from me.
23 उहाँको सामु म निर्दोष भएको छु र मैले आफूलाई पापबाट अलग राखेको छु ।
I was upright before him, And kept myself from iniquity.
24 यसकारण मेरो धार्मिकताको कारणले परमप्रभुले मलाई पुनर्स्थापना गर्नुभएको छ, किनभने मेरा हातहरू उहाँको आँखाका समु शुद्ध थिए ।
Therefore hath the LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.
25 कुनै पनि विश्‍वासीलाई तपाईं आफै विश्‍वासयोग्य प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ । निर्दोष मानिसलाई तपाईं आफै निर्दोष प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ ।
To the merciful thou showest thyself merciful; To the upright thou showest thyself upright;
26 कुनै पनि शुद्ध व्‍यक्‍तिलाई तपाईं आफै शुद्ध प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ । तर कुनै पनि बाङ्गो व्‍यक्‍तिलाई तपाईं आफै चलाख प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ ।
To the pure thou showest thyself pure, And to the perverse thou showest thyself perverse.
27 किनकि तपाईंले कष्‍टमा परेकाहरूलाई बचाउनुहुन्छ तर घमण्डी, अहङ्कारी आँखालाई तपाईंले तल झार्नुहुन्छ ।
For thou savest the afflicted people, But the haughty countenance thou bringest down.
28 तपाईंले मेरो बत्तिलाई प्रकाश दिनुहुन्छ । परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्‍वरले मेरो अन्धकारलाई उज्यालो पार्नुहुन्छ ।
Thou causest my lamp to shine; Jehovah, my God, enlighteneth my darkness.
29 किनकि तपाईंद्वारा नै म बाधालाई नाघ्‍न सक्छु । मेरा परमेश्‍वरद्वारा नै म पर्खाल नाध्‍न सक्छु ।
For through thee I have broken through troops; Through my God I have leaped over walls.
30 परमेश्‍वरको बारेमा, उहाँको मार्ग सिद्ध छ । परमप्रभुको वचन शुद्ध छ । उहाँमा शरण लिने हरेकको निम्ति उहाँ ढाल हुनुहुन्छ ।
The ways of God are just and true; His word is pure, tried in the fire; He is a shield to all who put their trust in him.
31 किनकि परमप्रभुबाहेक को परमेश्‍वर छ र? हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरबाहेक को चट्टान छ र?
Who, then, is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, save our God?
32 कम्मर पेटीझैं परमेश्‍वरले नै मलाई बल दिनुहुन्छ, जसले निर्दोष व्‍यक्‍तिलाई आफ्नो मार्गमा राख्‍नुहुन्छ ।
It is God that girded me with strength, And made my way plain.
33 उहाँले मेरा खुट्टाहरूलाई हरिणको जस्तै तेज बनाउनुहुन्छ र मलाई उच्‍च ठाउँहरूमा राख्‍नुहुन्छ ।
He made my feet like the hind's, And set me in my high places;
34 युद्धको निम्ति उहाँले मेरा हातहरूलाई तालिम दिनुहुन्छ र मेरा पाखुराहरूले काँसाको धनु झुकाउँछन् ।
He taught my hands to war, So that my arm bent the bow of brass.
35 तपाईंले मलाई आफ्‍नो उद्धारको ढाल दिनुभएको छ । तपाईंको दाहिने हातले मलाई सहायता गरेको छ र तपाईंको कृपाले मलाई महान् बनाएको छ ।
Thou gavest me the shield of thy protection; Thy right hand held me up, And thy goodness made me great.
36 तपाईंले मेरो तल मेरो खुट्टाहरूलाई ठाउँ फराकिलो पार्नुभएको छ ताकि मेरा खुट्टाहरू चिप्‍लेका छैनन् ।
Thou didst make a wide path for my steps, So that my feet did not stumble.
37 मैले आफ्‍ना शत्रुहरूलाई खेदें र तिनीहरूलाई समातें । तिनीहरू नाश नभएसम्म म फर्किनँ ।
I pursued my enemies and overtook them, And turned not back till I had destroyed them.
38 मैले तिनीहरूलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारें ताकि तिनीहरू उठ्न सकेनन् । तिनीहरू मेरा खुट्टाहरूमुनि ढलेका छन् ।
I smote them, so that they could not rise; They fell under my feet.
39 किनकि युद्धको निम्‍ति कम्मर पेटीझैं तपाईंले मलाई बल दिनुभयो । मेरो विरुद्ध उठ्नेहरूलाई तपाईंले मेरो अधीनमा पार्नुभयो ।
Thou didst gird me with strength for the battle; Thou didst cast down my adversaries under me.
40 मेरा शत्रुहरूका गर्दन तपाईंले मलाई दिनुभयो । मलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूलाई मैले निर्मूल पारें ।
Thou didst cause my enemies to turn their backs, So that I destroyed them that hated me.
41 तिनीहरूले सहायताको निम्ति पुकारा गरे, तर कसैले तिनीहरूलाई बचाएन । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे, तर उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनुभएन ।
They cried, but there was none to help; To Jehovah, but he answered them not.
42 हावाको सामु धूलोझैं मैले तिनीहरूलाई चकनाचूर पारें । गल्‍लीमा हिलोझैं मैले तिनीहरूलाई फालें ।
I beat them small, like dust before the wind; I cast them out as the dirt of the streets.
43 मानिसहरूका विवादबाट तपाईंले मलाई बचाउनुभयो । तपाईंले मलाई जातिहरूमाथि शिर तुल्याउनुभएको छ । मैले नचिनेका मानिसहरूले मेरो सेवा गर्छन् ।
Thou hast delivered me from the assaults of the nations; Thou hast made me the head of the kingdoms. Nations whom I knew not serve me;
44 तिनीहरूले मेरा कुरा सुन्‍ने बित्तिकै, तिनीहरूले मेरा आज्ञा पालन गरे । विदेशीहरू मेरो सामु झुक्‍न बाध्य भए ।
They who have only heard of me obey me; Yea, men of a strange land submit themselves to me;
45 विदेशीहरू आफ्‍ना किल्लाहरूबाट थरथर कम्दै बाहिर आए ।
Men of a strange land fade away, like a leaf, And come trembling from their strongholds.
46 परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ । मेरो चट्टानको प्रशंसा होस् । मेरो उद्धारका परमेश्‍वरलाई उच्‍च पारियोस् ।
Jehovah is the living God; blessed be my rock; Exalted be the God of my salvation!
47 मेरो निम्ति बदला लिनुहुने परमेश्‍वर उहाँ नै हुनुहुन्छ, जसले जातिहरूलाई मेरो वशमा पार्नुहुन्छ ।
It is God who hath given me vengeance, And subdued the nations under me;
48 मेरा शत्रहरूबाट म मुक्‍त पारिएको छु । वास्तवमा, मेरो विरुद्ध उठ्नेहरूभन्दा माथि तपाईंले मलाई उठाउनुभयो । हिंस्रक मानिसहरूबाट तपाईंले मलाई बचाउनुभयो ।
He delivered me from my enemies; Yea, thou hast lifted me up above my adversaries; Thou hast saved me from the violent man!
49 यसकारण, हे परमप्रभु, म तपाईंलाई जातिहरूको माझमा धन्यवाद दिनेछु । तपाईंको नाउँमा प्रशंसा म गाउनेछु ।
Therefore I will give thanks to thee, O LORD! among the nations, And sing praises to thy name.
50 परमेश्‍वरले आफ्नो राजालाई महान् विजय दिनुहुन्छ र उहाँले आफ्नो करारको विश्‍वस्‍तता आफ्नो अभिषिक्‍त जन, दाऊद र तिनका सन्तानहरूलाई सदासर्वदा प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ ।
Great deliverance giveth he to his king, And showeth mercy to his anointed, —To David and to his posterity for ever.
