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 [to myself], “I will be careful not to sin by the things that I say [MTY]. I will not say anything [to complain] while wicked people are near to me [and can hear me].”
2 म शान्त बसें । कुनै असल कुरा भन्नलाई पनि मैले आफ्नो मुख खोलिनँ र मेरो दुःख झन् बढी भयो ।
[So] I was completely silent [DOU], and I did not [even] talk about things that were good, but it was useless, because I began to suffer even more.
3 मेरो हृदय तातो भयो । जब मैले यी कुराका बारेमा विचार गरें, तब त्यो आगोझैं बल्यो । तब अन्तमा मैले बोलें ।
I became very anxious/worried [IDM]. As I thought [about my troubles], I became more worried. Then [finally] I said [MTY],
4 “हे परमप्रभु, मेरो जीवनको अन्त कहिले हुन्छ र मेरो समय कहिलेसम्म छ सो मलाई जान्न दिनुहोस् । म कति क्षणिक छु भनी मलाई देखाउनुहोस् ।
“Yahweh, show/tell me how long I will live. Tell me when I will die. Tell me how many years I will live!
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
[It seems that] you have caused me to live only a short time; (my lifetime/all the time that I have lived) seems like nothing to you. The time that all we humans live is [as short as] [MET] a puff of wind.
6 निश्चय नै हरेक मानिस छाया झैं हिंड्डुल गर्छ । निश्चय नै हरेक व्यक्ति धन थुपार्न हतार गर्छ, तापनि ति कसले पाउनेछ भनी तिनीहरू जान्दैनन् ।
Then we disappear like a shadow does. It seems that all that we do is for nothing/useless. We [sometimes] get a lot of money, but we do not know who will get it [after we die].
7 हे परमप्रभु, म के पर्खिरहेको छु? मेरो एक मात्र आसा तपाईं हुनुहुन्छ ।
So now, Yahweh, if I expect [RHQ] [to receive blessings from other people], I will be disappointed. You are the [only] one from whom I confidently expect [to receive blessings].
8 मेरा पापहरूबाट मलाई बचाउनुहोस् । मलाई मूर्खहरूको निन्दा नबाउनुहोस् ।
Save me from [being punished for] all the sins that I have committed. And do not allow foolish people to make fun of me.
9 म शान्त छु र मेरो मुख खोल्न सक्दिनँ, किनभने त्यो गर्ने तपाईं नै हुनुहुन्छ ।
I did not say anything [when you punished me], because [I knew that] you were the one who caused [me to suffer].
10 मलाई चोट दिन छोड्नुहोस् । तपाईंको हातको मुक्काले म विह्वल भएको छु ।
But now, please stop punishing me! [If you do not do that], I am about to die because of the ways that you [SYN] have struck/afflicted me.
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 you rebuke someone and punish him for the sin that he has committed, you destroy the things that (he loves/are precious to him), like moths’ [larva] destroy clothing. Our lives [disappear like] a puff of wind.
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 ।
Yahweh, listen to me while I pray; pay attention to me while I cry out to you. Help me while I am crying. I am here on the earth for only a short time, like all my ancestors.
13 मबाट तपाईंको हेराइलाई हटाउनुहोस् ताकि म मर्नअघि म फेरि मुसुक्क हाँस्न सकौं।
[Now] please leave me alone, [and do not punish me any more] in order that I may smile and be happy for a while before I die. [EUP, DOU]”
