भजनसंग्रह 37
1 खराबी गर्नेहरूको कारण झर्को नमान । अधार्मिक किसिमले काम गर्नेहरूका इर्ष्या नगर ।
Do not be bothered/upset by what wicked [people do]. Do not desire to have the things that people who do wrong/evil have,
2 किनकि घाँसझैं तिनीहरू चाँडै नै सुकेर जानेछन् र हरिया बिरुवाहरूझैं ओइलाएर जानेछन् ।
because they will soon disappear, like grass withers [in the hot sun] and dries up. Just like some green plants [come up but] die [during the hot summer], evil people will soon die also.
3 परमप्रभुमा भरोसा राख र जे असल छ सो गर । देशमा बसोवास गर र विश्वस्ततामा उपभोग गर ।
Trust in Yahweh, and do what is good; if you do that, you will live safely in the land [that he has given you], and you will live peacefully [MET].
4 परमप्रभुमा आफूलाई खुसी बनाऊ र उहाँले तिम्रो हृदयका इच्छाहरू पुरा गर्नुहुनेछ ।
Be delighted with all that Yahweh [does for you]; if you do that, he will give you the things that you desire most.
5 आफ्ना मार्गहरू परमप्रभुलाई देऊ । उहाँमा भरोसा गर र उहाँले तिम्रो निम्ति काम गर्नुहुनेछ ।
Commit to Yahweh all the things that you plan to do; trust in him, and he will do [whatever is needed to help you].
6 उहाँले तिम्रो न्याय दिनको उज्यालोझैं र तिम्रो निर्दोषता मध्यदिनझैं प्रकट गर्नुहुनेछ ।
He will show [as clearly] as the sunlight that you (are innocent/have done nothing that is wrong); he will show [as clearly] as [the sun at] noontime [SIM] that all the things that you have decided are just.
7 परमप्रभुको सामु मौन बस र धैर्यपूर्वक उहाँको आसा गर । आफूले गरेका कुरामा कोही सफल हुँदा वा त्यसले दुष्ट षड्यन्त्रहरू बनाउँदा क्रोधित नहोऊ ।
Be quiet in Yahweh’s presence, and wait patiently for him [to do what you want him to do]. Do not be bothered/upset when what evil men do is successful, when they are able to do the wicked things that they plan.
8 क्रोधित नहोऊ र निराश नहोऊ । चिन्ता नगर । यसले समस्यामा मात्र पार्छ ।
Do not be angry [about what wicked people do]. Do not want to punish them yourself. Do not be envious of such people because you will only harm [yourself if you try to envy them].
9 दुष्ट काम गर्नेहरूलाई बहिकृत हुनेछन्, तर परमप्रभुको आसा गर्नेहरूले देशको उत्तराधिकार गर्नेछन् ।
[Some day Yahweh] will get rid of wicked people, but those who trust in Yahweh will live [safely] in the land [that he has given to them].
10 केही क्षणमा नै दुष्ट मानिस लोप हुनेछन् । तिमीले त्यसको ठाउँमा हेर्नेछौ तर त्यो गइसकेको हुनेछ ।
Soon the wicked will disappear. If you look for them, they will be gone.
11 तर नम्रहरूले देशको उत्तराधिकार गर्नेछन् र ठुलो समृद्धिमा खुसी हुनेछन् ।
But those who are humble will live safely in their land. They will happily enjoy living peacefully and having the other good things [that Yahweh gives them].
12 दुष्ट मानिसले धर्मीको विरुद्धमा षड्यन्त्र गर्छ र त्यसले उनको विरुद्ध दाह्रा किट्छ ।
Wicked people plan to harm righteous/godly people; they snarl at them [MET] [like wild animals].
13 परमप्रभु त्योमाथि हाँस्नुहुनेछ, किनकि त्यसको दिन आइरहेको उहाँले देख्नुहुन्छ ।
But Yahweh laughs [at them] because he knows that some day [MTY] [he will judge and punish] the wicked people.
14 थिचोमिचोमा परेका र दरिद्रहरूलाई ढाल्न, सोझाहरूलाई मार्न दुष्टहरूले आफ्ना तरवारहरू थुतेका छन् र आफ्ना धनुमा ताँदो चढाएका छन् ।
Wicked people pull out their swords/daggers and they put strings on their bows, ready to kill people who are poor [DOU] and to slaughter those who live righteously.
15 तिनीहरूका तरवारहरूले तिनीहरूका आफ्नै हृदयहरू छेड्नेछन् र तिनीहरूका धनुहरू भाँचिनेछन् ।
But they will be killed by their own swords/daggers, and their bows will be broken.
16 धेरै जना दुष्ट मानिसहरूका प्रशस्तताभन्दा धर्मीसँग भएको थोरै नै असल हो ।
It is good to be righteous/godly even if you do not have many possessions, but it is bad to be wicked, even if you are very wealthy,
17 किनकि दुष्ट मानिसहरूका पाखुराहरू भाँचिनेछन्, तर परमप्रभुले धर्मी मानिसहरूलाई सहायता गर्नुहुन्छ ।
because [Yahweh] will completely take away the strength of wicked people, but he will (sustain/take care of) people who live righteously.
18 परमप्रभुले नोष्खोटमाथि दिनदिनै हे्र्नुहुन्छ र तिनीहरू उत्तराधिकार सदाको निम्ति हुनेछ ।
Every day Yahweh cares about those who have not done any evil things; the things that Yahweh gives them will last forever.
19 समय खराब हुँदा तिनीहरू लज्जित हुनेछैनन् । जब अनिकाल आउँछ, तब तिनीहरूसित प्रशस्त खानेकुरा हुनेछ ।
They will survive when calamities occur; when there are famines, they will still have plenty to eat.
20 तर दुष्ट मानिसहरू नष्ट हुनेछन् । परमप्रभुका शत्रुहरू खर्कहरूका गौरवजस्ता हुनेछन् । तिनीहरू भष्म हुनेछन् र धूवाँमा हराउनेछन् ।
But wicked people will die; [just] like the beautiful wild flowers in the fields [die under the hot sun] and disappear like smoke [MET], Yahweh [will cause] his enemies to suddenly disappear.
21 दुष्ट मानिसहरूले ऋण लिन्छन् तर तिर्दैनन्, तर धर्मी व्यक्ति उदार हुन्छ र दिन्छ ।
The wicked people borrow [money], but they are not able to repay it; righteous/godly people, [in contrast, have enough money that] they can give generously [to others].
22 परमेश्वरले आशिष् दिनुभएकाहरूले देशको उत्तराधिकार पाउनेछन् । उहाँद्वारा सराप पाएकाहरू बहिष्कृत हुनेछन् ।
Those whom Yahweh has blessed will live safely in the land that he has given to them, but he will get rid of those people whom he has cursed.
23 परमप्रभुद्वारा नै मानिसकको कदमहरू स्थापित हुन्छ, त्यो मानिस जसको चाल परमेश्वरको दृष्टिमा प्रशंसनिय हुन्छ ।
Yahweh protects those who do what is pleasing to him, and he will enable them to walk confidently, wherever they go;
24 त्यसले ठेस खान्छ, तापनि त्यो ढल्नेछैन, किनकि परमप्रभुले त्यसलाई आफ्नो बाहुलिले समात्नुहुन्छ ।
even if they stumble, they will not fall down, because Yahweh holds them by 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 was young [previously], and now I am an old man, but [in all those years], I have never seen righteous/godly people being abandoned by Yahweh, nor have I seen that their children [needed to] beg for food.
26 दिनभरि नै अनुग्रही हुन्छ र पैंचो दिन्छ अनि त्यसका छोराछोरीले आशिष् पाउँछन् ।
Righteous/Godly people are generous, and happily lend [money to others], and their children are a blessing to them.
27 खराबीबाट फर्क र जे असल छ सो गर । तब तिमी सदासर्वदा सुरक्षित हुनेछौ ।
Turn away from [doing] evil, and do what is good. If you do that, you [and your descendants] will live in your land forever.
28 किनकि परमप्रभुले न्यायलाई प्रेम गर्नुहुन्छ र उहाँका विश्वासयोग्य अनुयायीहरूलाई त्याग्नुहुन्न । तिनीहरू सधैं सुरक्षित राखिन्छन्, तर दुष्टका सन्तानहरू बहिष्कृत हुनेछन् ।
[That will happen] because Yahweh likes to see people doing what is just, and he will never forsake righteous/godly people. He will protect them forever; but he will get rid of the children of wicked people.
29 धर्मीले देशको उत्तराधिकार गर्नेछन् र त्यहाँ सदासर्वदा बास गर्नेछन् ।
Righteous/Godly people will own the land [that Yahweh promised to give to them], and they will live there forever.
30 धर्मी व्यक्तिको मुखले बुद्धिको कुरा बोल्छ र न्याय वृद्धि गर्छ ।
Righteous people give wise [advice to others], and they [MTY] say what is just/fair.
31 आफ्नो परमेश्वरको व्यवस्था त्यसको हृदयमा हुन्छ । त्यसका खुट्टाहरू चिप्लँदैनन् ।
They continually think about God’s laws; they do not stray from [God’s] path.
32 दुष्ट व्यक्तिले धर्मी व्यक्तिलाई हे्र्छ र तिनलाई मार्न खोज्छ ।
Those who are evil wait in ambush for righteous people in order to kill them [as they walk by].
33 परमप्रभुले त्यसलाई दुष्ट व्यक्तिको हातमा छोड्नुहुन्न वा त्यसको न्याय हुँदा त्यसलाई दोषी ठहराउनुहुन्न ।
But Yahweh will not abandon righteous people, and allow (them to fall into their enemies’ hands/their enemies harm them). And he will not allow righteous people to be condemned when someone takes them to a judge [to be put on trial].
34 परमप्रभुको आसा गर र उहाँको मार्ग कायम राख, अनि उहाँले देश अधिकार गर्न तिमीलाई उठाउनुहुनेछ । दुष्टहरू बहिष्कृत भएको तिमीले देख्नेछौ ।
Be patient and trust that Yahweh [will help you], and (walk on his paths/do what he wants you to do). [If you do that], he will honor you by giving you the land [that he promised], and when he gets rid of the wicked, you will see it happen.
35 दुष्ट र डरलाग्दा व्यक्ति आफ्नो माटोमा हरियो रूखझैं फैलिएको मैले देखेको छु ।
I have seen that wicked people who (act like tyrants/terrify people) [sometimes] prosper, like trees that grow well in fertile soil,
36 तर जब म फेरि त्यो बाटो जाँदा, त्यो त्यहाँ थिएन । मैले त्यसलाई खोजें तर त्यसलाई भेट्टाउन सकिएन ।
when I looked [later], they were gone! I searched for them, but [Yahweh had caused] them to disappear.
37 इमान्दार मानिसलाई हेर र सझोलाई ध्यान देऊ । मिलापको मानिसको निम्ति असल भविष्य छ ।
Notice the people who have not done evil things, those who act righteously: their descendants will have peace in their inner beings.
38 पापीहरू पूर्ण रूपमा नष्ट हुनेछन् । दुष्ट मानिसको भविष्य नष्ट हुनेछ ।
But Yahweh will get rid of the wicked; he will also get rid of their descendants (OR, as a result, they will not have any descendants).
39 धर्मीको उद्धार परमप्रभुबाट आउँछ । कष्टको समयहरूमा उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई रक्षा गर्नुहुन्छ ।
Yahweh rescues righteous people; in times of trouble he protects them [MET].
40 परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई सहायता गर्नुहुन्छ र बचाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई खराब मानिसहरूबाट छटाउनुहुन्छ र तिनीहरूलाई बचाउनुहुन्छ किनभने तिनीहरूले उहाँमा शरण लिएका छन् ।
Yahweh helps them and saves them; he rescues them from [being attacked/harmed by] wicked people because they go to him to be protected [MET].
