भजनसंग्रह 37
1 खराबी गर्नेहरूको कारण झर्को नमान । अधार्मिक किसिमले काम गर्नेहरूका इर्ष्या नगर ।
“Of David.” Do not fret thyself because of the evil-doers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
2 किनकि घाँसझैं तिनीहरू चाँडै नै सुकेर जानेछन् र हरिया बिरुवाहरूझैं ओइलाएर जानेछन् ।
For like the grass they shall soon be mowed down, and like the green herb shall they wither.
3 परमप्रभुमा भरोसा राख र जे असल छ सो गर । देशमा बसोवास गर र विश्वस्ततामा उपभोग गर ।
Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed [thyself] with truthfulness.
4 परमप्रभुमा आफूलाई खुसी बनाऊ र उहाँले तिम्रो हृदयका इच्छाहरू पुरा गर्नुहुनेछ ।
And delight thyself in the Lord, and he will give thee the wishes of thy heart.
5 आफ्ना मार्गहरू परमप्रभुलाई देऊ । उहाँमा भरोसा गर र उहाँले तिम्रो निम्ति काम गर्नुहुनेछ ।
Commit thy way unto the Lord, and trust in him: and he will accomplish it.
6 उहाँले तिम्रो न्याय दिनको उज्यालोझैं र तिम्रो निर्दोषता मध्यदिनझैं प्रकट गर्नुहुनेछ ।
And he will bring forth as the light thy righteousness, and the justice of thy [cause] as the noonday.
7 परमप्रभुको सामु मौन बस र धैर्यपूर्वक उहाँको आसा गर । आफूले गरेका कुरामा कोही सफल हुँदा वा त्यसले दुष्ट षड्यन्त्रहरू बनाउँदा क्रोधित नहोऊ ।
Be silent before the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who practices wicked devices.
8 क्रोधित नहोऊ र निराश नहोऊ । चिन्ता नगर । यसले समस्यामा मात्र पार्छ ।
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9 दुष्ट काम गर्नेहरूलाई बहिकृत हुनेछन्, तर परमप्रभुको आसा गर्नेहरूले देशको उत्तराधिकार गर्नेछन् ।
For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait upon the Lord, these—shall truly inherit the land.
10 केही क्षणमा नै दुष्ट मानिस लोप हुनेछन् । तिमीले त्यसको ठाउँमा हेर्नेछौ तर त्यो गइसकेको हुनेछ ।
For yet but for a little while, and the wicked shall be no more: yea, thou wilt look carefully at his place, and he shall not be there.
11 तर नम्रहरूले देशको उत्तराधिकार गर्नेछन् र ठुलो समृद्धिमा खुसी हुनेछन् ।
But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves because of the abundance of peace.
12 दुष्ट मानिसले धर्मीको विरुद्धमा षड्यन्त्र गर्छ र त्यसले उनको विरुद्ध दाह्रा किट्छ ।
The wicked purposeth evil against the just, and gnasheth against him with his teeth.
13 परमप्रभु त्योमाथि हाँस्नुहुनेछ, किनकि त्यसको दिन आइरहेको उहाँले देख्नुहुन्छ ।
The Lord will laugh at him; for he seeth that his day is coming.
14 थिचोमिचोमा परेका र दरिद्रहरूलाई ढाल्न, सोझाहरूलाई मार्न दुष्टहरूले आफ्ना तरवारहरू थुतेका छन् र आफ्ना धनुमा ताँदो चढाएका छन् ।
The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cause the poor and needy to fall, and to slaughter such as are of an upright course [of life].
15 तिनीहरूका तरवारहरूले तिनीहरूका आफ्नै हृदयहरू छेड्नेछन् र तिनीहरूका धनुहरू भाँचिनेछन् ।
[But] their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 धेरै जना दुष्ट मानिसहरूका प्रशस्तताभन्दा धर्मीसँग भएको थोरै नै असल हो ।
Better is the little that the righteous hath, than the great riches of many wicked.
17 किनकि दुष्ट मानिसहरूका पाखुराहरू भाँचिनेछन्, तर परमप्रभुले धर्मी मानिसहरूलाई सहायता गर्नुहुन्छ ।
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the upholder of the righteous is the Lord.
18 परमप्रभुले नोष्खोटमाथि दिनदिनै हे्र्नुहुन्छ र तिनीहरू उत्तराधिकार सदाको निम्ति हुनेछ ।
The Lord regardeth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall endure for ever.
19 समय खराब हुँदा तिनीहरू लज्जित हुनेछैनन् । जब अनिकाल आउँछ, तब तिनीहरूसित प्रशस्त खानेकुरा हुनेछ ।
They shall not be made ashamed in the time of unhappiness; and in the days of famine shall they be satisfied.
20 तर दुष्ट मानिसहरू नष्ट हुनेछन् । परमप्रभुका शत्रुहरू खर्कहरूका गौरवजस्ता हुनेछन् । तिनीहरू भष्म हुनेछन् र धूवाँमा हराउनेछन् ।
But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the beauty of the meadow: they pass away; in smoke they pass away.
21 दुष्ट मानिसहरूले ऋण लिन्छन् तर तिर्दैनन्, तर धर्मी व्यक्ति उदार हुन्छ र दिन्छ ।
The wicked borroweth, and repayeth not; but the righteous is beneficent, and giveth.
22 परमेश्वरले आशिष् दिनुभएकाहरूले देशको उत्तराधिकार पाउनेछन् । उहाँद्वारा सराप पाएकाहरू बहिष्कृत हुनेछन् ।
For those blessed of him shall inherit the land; and those cursed of him shall be cut off.
23 परमप्रभुद्वारा नै मानिसकको कदमहरू स्थापित हुन्छ, त्यो मानिस जसको चाल परमेश्वरको दृष्टिमा प्रशंसनिय हुन्छ ।
By the Lord are the steps of the righteous man established; and he findeth pleasure in his course [of life].
24 त्यसले ठेस खान्छ, तापनि त्यो ढल्नेछैन, किनकि परमप्रभुले त्यसलाई आफ्नो बाहुलिले समात्नुहुन्छ ।
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholdeth his hand.
25 म जवान थिएँ र अहिले वृद्ध भएको छु । धर्मी व्यक्ति त्यागिएको वा त्यसको छोराछोरीले रोटीको निम्ति मागेको मैले कहिल्यै देखेको छैन ।
I have been young, and I am also grown old: yet have I never seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking for bread.
26 दिनभरि नै अनुग्रही हुन्छ र पैंचो दिन्छ अनि त्यसका छोराछोरीले आशिष् पाउँछन् ।
He is all the time beneficent, and lendeth: and his seed will be for a blessing.
27 खराबीबाट फर्क र जे असल छ सो गर । तब तिमी सदासर्वदा सुरक्षित हुनेछौ ।
Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
28 किनकि परमप्रभुले न्यायलाई प्रेम गर्नुहुन्छ र उहाँका विश्वासयोग्य अनुयायीहरूलाई त्याग्नुहुन्न । तिनीहरू सधैं सुरक्षित राखिन्छन्, तर दुष्टका सन्तानहरू बहिष्कृत हुनेछन् ।
For the Lord loveth justice, and never forsaketh his pious servants: they are for ever preserved; but the seed of the wicked will be cut off.
29 धर्मीले देशको उत्तराधिकार गर्नेछन् र त्यहाँ सदासर्वदा बास गर्नेछन् ।
The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell for ever therein.
30 धर्मी व्यक्तिको मुखले बुद्धिको कुरा बोल्छ र न्याय वृद्धि गर्छ ।
The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh what is just.
31 आफ्नो परमेश्वरको व्यवस्था त्यसको हृदयमा हुन्छ । त्यसका खुट्टाहरू चिप्लँदैनन् ।
The law of his God is in his heart: none of his steps shall slip.
32 दुष्ट व्यक्तिले धर्मी व्यक्तिलाई हे्र्छ र तिनलाई मार्न खोज्छ ।
The wicked looketh out for the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
33 परमप्रभुले त्यसलाई दुष्ट व्यक्तिको हातमा छोड्नुहुन्न वा त्यसको न्याय हुँदा त्यसलाई दोषी ठहराउनुहुन्न ।
The Lord will not leave him in his hand, and will not condemn him when he is judged.
34 परमप्रभुको आसा गर र उहाँको मार्ग कायम राख, अनि उहाँले देश अधिकार गर्न तिमीलाई उठाउनुहुनेछ । दुष्टहरू बहिष्कृत भएको तिमीले देख्नेछौ ।
Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, shalt thou look on.
35 दुष्ट र डरलाग्दा व्यक्ति आफ्नो माटोमा हरियो रूखझैं फैलिएको मैले देखेको छु ।
I have seen the wicked terrible in power, and striking root like a green tree in its native soil.
36 तर जब म फेरि त्यो बाटो जाँदा, त्यो त्यहाँ थिएन । मैले त्यसलाई खोजें तर त्यसलाई भेट्टाउन सकिएन ।
Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was no more: and I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 इमान्दार मानिसलाई हेर र सझोलाई ध्यान देऊ । मिलापको मानिसको निम्ति असल भविष्य छ ।
Observe the perfect man, and behold the upright; for there is a [happy] future for the man of peace.
38 पापीहरू पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट हुनेछन् । दुष्ट मानिसको भविष्य नष्ट हुनेछ ।
But the transgressors are destroyed together: the future of the wicked is cut off.
39 धर्मीको उद्धार परमप्रभुबाट आउँछ । कष्टको समयहरूमा उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई रक्षा गर्नुहुन्छ ।
And the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord: he is their strong-hold in the time of distress.
40 परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई सहायता गर्नुहुन्छ र बचाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई खराब मानिसहरूबाट छटाउनुहुन्छ र तिनीहरूलाई बचाउनुहुन्छ किनभने तिनीहरूले उहाँमा शरण लिएका छन् ।
And the Lord helpeth them, and delivereth them; he will deliver them from the wicked, and save them; because they have put their trust in him.
