< भजनसंग्रह 33 >
1 ए धर्मीहरू हो, परमप्रभुमा आनन्दित होओ । सोझाहरूले प्रशंसा गर्न सुहाउँछ ।
Let those who do good shout for joy—those who live right should praise him!
2 वीणा बजाएर परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद देओ । दस तारे सारङ्गीसँगै उहाँको प्रशंसा गर ।
Praise the Lord with the lyre, play music to him on the ten-stringed harp.
3 उहाँको निम्ति एउटा नयाँ गीत गाओ । निपुणता साथ बजाओ र आनन्दले गाओ ।
Sing a new song to him; play your instruments well and shout for joy.
4 किनकि परमप्रभुको वचन ठीक छ र उहाँले गर्ने हरेक कुरा न्यायोचित छ ।
For the word of the Lord is true, and he is trustworthy in everything he does.
5 उहाँले धार्मिकता र न्यायलाई प्रेम गर्नुहुन्छ । पृथ्वी परमप्रभुको करारको विश्वस्तताले पूर्ण छ ।
He loves all that is good and right; the earth is full of the Lord's trustworthy love.
6 परमप्रभुको वचनले आकाशको सृष्टि भयो र सबै ताराहरू उहाँको मुखको सासले बनिएका थिए ।
The Lord spoke the word and the heavens were made; his mouth breathed all the stars into existence.
7 उहाँले समुद्रको पानीलाई एक ठाउँमा थुप्रोझैं जम्मा गर्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले महासागरहरूलाई भण्डारहरूमा राख्नुहुन्छ ।
He gathers the waters of the sea together, he keeps the ocean depths in store.
8 सारा पृथ्वीले परमप्रभुको भय मानोस् । संसारका सबै बासिन्दा उहाँको भयमा खडा होऊन् ।
Let all the earth show reverence to the Lord; let all the world's inhabitants be in awe of him.
9 किनकि उहाँले बोल्नुभयो र त्यो हुन आयो । उहाँले आज्ञा गर्नुभयो र यो ठाउँमा खडा भयो ।
For he spoke and the world came into existence; he gave the command and it was created.
10 परमप्रभुले जातिहरूका मित्रतालाई व्यर्थ तुल्याउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले मानिसहरूका योजनाहरूलाई रद्द गर्नुहुन्छ ।
The Lord foils the decisions of the nations, he frustrates the plans of the peoples,
11 परमप्रभुको योजना सदासर्वदा रहन्छ, उहाँको हृदयका योजनाहरू सबै पुस्ताका निम्ति रहन्छ ।
But the Lord's plan stands forever—what he decides lasts for all generations.
12 त्यो जाति धन्यको हो जसको परमेश्वर परमप्रभु हुनुहुन्छ, ती मानिसहरू जसलाई आफ्नै उत्तराधिकारको रूपमा उहाँले चुन्नुभएको छ ।
Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he has chosen as specially belonging to him.
13 परमप्रभुले स्वर्गबाट हेर्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले सबै मानिसलाई देख्नुहुन्छ ।
The Lord looks from heaven and sees the whole of humanity,
14 आफू बस्नुहुने ठाउँबाट तल पृथ्वीमा बस्ने सबैलाई उहाँले हे्र्नुहुन्छ ।
from his throne he watches all those who live on earth.
15 तिनीहरू सबैका हृदयहरू बनाउनुहुनेले तिनीहरूका सबै कामहरू हेर्नुहुन्छ ।
He created their minds, so he knows everything they do.
16 ठुलो फौजद्वारा कुनै पनि राजा बाँच्न सक्दैन । आफ्नो महाबलले कुनै पनि योद्धा बाँच्न सक्दैन ।
Even the greatest army cannot save a king; the greatest strength cannot save a warrior.
17 घोडाचाहिं विजयको निम्ति झुटो आसा हो । त्यसको महान् बल भए पनि त्यसले बचाउन सक्दैन ।
Don't deceive yourself: a warhorse can't give you victory—even its incredible strength won't save you.
18 हेर, परमप्रभुको आँखा उहाँको भय मान्नेहरूमाथि र उहाँको करारको विश्वस्ततामा आसा गर्नेहरूमाथि रहन्छ ।
The Lord watches over those who reverently follow him, those who place their hope in his trustworthy love
19 तिनीहरूका जीवन मृत्युबाट छुट्टाउन र अनिकालको समयमा तिनीहरूलाई जीवित राख्नलाई ।
to save them from death and to keep them alive when famine strikes.
20 हामी परमप्रभुको आसा गर्छौं । उहाँ हाम्रो सहायता र हाम्रो ढाल हुनुहुन्छ ।
We place our confidence in the Lord; he is our help and our defender.
21 हाम्रा हृदयहरू उहाँमा आनन्दित हुन्छन्, किनकि उहाँको पवित्र नाउँमा हामी भरोसा गर्छौं ।
We are so happy about him, for we trust in his holy character.
22 हे परमप्रभु, हामीले आफ्नो आसा तपाईंमा राख्दा, तपाईंको करारको विश्वस्तता हामीसँग रहोस् ।
Lord, let your trustworthy love rest upon us as we hope in you.
