भजनसंग्रह 42
1 जसरी हरिणले खोलाको पानीको तृष्णा गर्छ, त्यसरी नै, हे परमेश्वर, म तपाईंको तृष्णा गर्छु ।
Deer pant, desiring to drink water from a stream [when there is a drought] (OR, [when they are being pursued by hunters].) In the same way [SIM], God, I need you very much.
2 परमेश्वरको, जीवित परमेश्वरको तृष्णा म गर्छु, म कहिले आऊँ र परमेश्वरको सामु देखा परू?
I desire to have fellowship with [MET] you, the all-powerful God. [I wonder], “When will I be able to go [back to the temple in Israel] and worship in your presence again?”
3 दिनरात मेरा आँशु मेरो खानेकुरा भएका छन्, मेरा शत्रुहरूले मलाई सधैं यसो भन्छन्, “तेरो परमेश्वर खोइ कहाँ छन्?”
Every day and every night I cry; [it is as though] the only thing I have to drink is my tears; and while I do that, my enemies are continually asking me, “Why does your god not [help you]?”
4 मेरो प्राण खन्याउँदा यी कुराहरू मनमा म याद गर्छुः कसरी म भिडसँग गएँ, अनि उत्सव मनाउने धेरै जनाको भिडसँग आनन्द र प्रशंसाको सोरसँगै परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा तिनीहरूलाई डोर्याएँ ।
I am very distressed [IDM] as I remember when I went with the crowd of people to the temple [in Jerusalem], leading them as we walked along; we were all shouting joyfully and singing to thank God [for what he had done]; we were a large group who were celebrating.
5 ए मेरो प्राण, तँ किन निराश हुन्छस्? मभित्रै तँ किन उदाश हुन्छस्? परमेश्वरमा आसा राख्, किनकि म फेरि पनि उहाँको प्रशंसा गर्नेछु जो मेरो उद्धार हुनुहुन्छ ।
So [I say to] myself, “(Why am I sad and discouraged?/I should not be sad and discouraged!) [RHQ] I confidently expect God [to help me], and again I will praise him, my God, the one who saves me.”
6 हे मेरो परमेश्वर, मेरो प्राण मभित्रै निराश भएको छ, यसकारण यर्दनको भूमिबाट, हेर्मोनका तिन टाकुराबाट र मिसारको डाँडाबाट तपाईंलाई सम्झन्छु ।
[But now, Yahweh], I am very discouraged [IDM], so I think about you, even from where the Jordan [River] gushes out from the bottom of Hermon [Mountain] and from Mizar Mountain.
7 तपाईंका झरनाहरूका हल्लामा सागरले सागरलाई बोलाउँछ । तपाईंका सबै छाल र तरङ्गहरू ममाथि गएका छन् ।
But here, the great sorrow that I feel is like water that you send down [MET]; [it is like] a waterfall that tumbles down and floods over me.
8 तापनि परमप्रभुले दिनको समयमा आफ्नो करारको विश्वस्ततालाई आज्ञा गर्नुहुनेछ । उहाँको गीत, मेरो जीवनको परमेश्वरमा गरेको प्रार्थना रातमा मसँग हुनेछ ।
Yahweh shows me each day that he faithfully loves me, and each night I sing to him and pray to him, the God who causes me to live.
9 परमेश्वर, मेरा चट्टानलाई म भन्नेछु, “तपाईंले मलाई किन बिर्सनुभएको छ? शत्रुले थिचेको कारणले मैले किन शोक गर्नुपर्ने?”
I say to God, [who is like] an [overhanging] rock [under which I can hide] [MET], “It seems that you have forgotten me. I (mourn/cry) constantly because my enemies act cruelly toward me” [RHQ].
10 मेरा हाडहरूमा तरवार परेझैं, मेरा शत्रुहरूले मलाई हप्काउँछन्, तिनीहरू सधैं मलाई यसो भन्छन्, “तेरो परमेश्वर खोइ कहाँ छन्?”
They make fun of me constantly; they continually ask, “Why does your god not help you?” [RHQ] And when they insult me [like that], [it is like] wounds that I feel even in my bones.
11 ए मेरो प्राण, तँ किन निराश हुन्छस्? मभित्रै तँ किन उदाश हुन्छस्? परमेश्वरमा आसा राख्, किनकि म फेरि पनि उहाँको प्रशंसा गर्नेछु जो मेरो उद्धार र मेरो परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ ।
But [I think, ] “(Why am I sad and discouraged?/I should not be sad and discouraged!) [RHQ] I will confidently expect God [to help me], and I will praise him again, my God, the one who saves me.”
