भजनसंग्रह 39
1 मैले निर्णय गरें, “म जे भन्छु सो कुरामा म सावधान हुनेछु ताकि मेरो जिब्रोले म पाप नगरुँ । खराब मानिसको उपस्थितिमा हुँदा म आफ्नो मुखलाई चूप राख्नेछु ।”
I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked man is before me.
2 म शान्त बसें । कुनै असल कुरा भन्नलाई पनि मैले आफ्नो मुख खोलिनँ र मेरो दुःख झन् बढी भयो ।
I was mute with silence. I held my peace, even from good, and my sorrow was stirred.
3 मेरो हृदय तातो भयो । जब मैले यी कुराका बारेमा विचार गरें, तब त्यो आगोझैं बल्यो । तब अन्तमा मैले बोलें ।
My heart was hot within me. While I was musing the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue:
4 “हे परमप्रभु, मेरो जीवनको अन्त कहिले हुन्छ र मेरो समय कहिलेसम्म छ सो मलाई जान्न दिनुहोस् । म कति क्षणिक छु भनी मलाई देखाउनुहोस् ।
Jehovah, make me to know my end, and the measure of my days, what it is. Let me know how frail I am.
5 हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंले मेरो समय मेरो हातको बित्ताभरिको मात्र बनाउनुभएको छ र मेरो जीवनकाल तपाईंको सामु केही पनि होइन । निश्चय नै, हरेक मानिस एक सास मात्र हो । सेला
Behold, thou have made my days as handbreadths, and my life-time is as nothing before thee. Surely every man at his best condition is altogether vanity. (Selah)
6 निश्चय नै हरेक मानिस छाया झैं हिंड्डुल गर्छ । निश्चय नै हरेक व्यक्ति धन थुपार्न हतार गर्छ, तापनि ति कसले पाउनेछ भनी तिनीहरू जान्दैनन् ।
Surely every man walks in a shadow. Surely they are disquieted in vain. He heaps up, and knows not who shall gather them.
7 हे परमप्रभु, म के पर्खिरहेको छु? मेरो एक मात्र आसा तपाईं हुनुहुन्छ ।
And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in thee.
8 मेरा पापहरूबाट मलाई बचाउनुहोस् । मलाई मूर्खहरूको निन्दा नबाउनुहोस् ।
Deliver me from all my transgressions. Make me not the reproach of the foolish.
9 म शान्त छु र मेरो मुख खोल्न सक्दिनँ, किनभने त्यो गर्ने तपाईं नै हुनुहुन्छ ।
I was mute. I opened not my mouth, because thou did it.
10 मलाई चोट दिन छोड्नुहोस् । तपाईंको हातको मुक्काले म विह्वल भएको छु ।
Remove thy stroke away from me. I am consumed by the blow of thy hand.
11 जब तपाईंले मानिसहरूलाई पापको निम्ति अनुशासन गर्नुहुन्छ, तब तिनीहरूले इच्छा गर्ने कुरालाई तपाईंले कीराले झैं नष्ट पार्नुहुन्छ । निश्चय नै सबै मानिसहरू बाफबाहेक केही पनि होइन । सेला
When thou have corrected man with rebukes for iniquity, thou make his beauty to disintegrate like a moth. Surely every man is vanity. (Selah)
12 हे परमप्रभु, मेरो प्रार्थना सुन्नुहोस् र मेरो कुरामा ध्यान दिनुहोस् । मेरो रोदन सुन्नुहोस् । मेरो कुरामा बहिरो नहुनुहोस्, किनकि तपाईंसँग म विदेशीजस्तै, मेरा सबै पुर्खाजस्तै एक जना शरणार्थी हुँ ।
Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, and give ear to my cry. Keep not silent at my tears, for I am a stranger with thee, a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
13 मबाट तपाईंको हेराइलाई हटाउनुहोस् ताकि म मर्नअघि म फेरि मुसुक्क हाँस्न सकौं।
O spare me, that I may recover strength before I go from here, and be no more.
