भजनसंग्रह 44
1 हे परमेश्वर, हामीले हाम्रो कानले सुनेका छौं, हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूका समयमा, प्राचीन दिनहरूमा जे काम तपाईंले गर्नुभयो ति तिनीहरूले हामीलाई भनेका छन् ।
To the chief music-maker. Of the sons of Korah Maschil. It has come to our ears, O God, our fathers have given us the story, of the works which you did in their days, in the old times,
2 तपाईंले जातिहरूलाई आफ्नै हातले लखेट्नुभयो, तर तपाईंले हाम्रा मानिसहरूलाई बसाल्नुभयो । तपाईंले मानिसहरूलाई कष्ट दिनुभयो तर तपाईंले देशमा हाम्रा मानिसहरूलाई फैलाउनुभयो ।
Uprooting the nations with your hand, and planting our fathers in their place; cutting down the nations, but increasing the growth of your people.
3 किनकि तिनीहरूले आफ्नो लागि देश अधिकार गर्नलाई आफ्नै तरवारले प्राप्त गरेनन्, न त तिनीहरूको आफ्नै पाखुराले तिनीहरूलाई बचाए । तर तपाईंको दाहिने हात, तपाईंको पाखुरा र तपाईंको मुहारको ज्योतिले बचायो, किनभने उनीहरूप्रति तपाईं कृपालु हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
For they did not make the land theirs by their swords, and it was not their arms which kept them safe; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, because you had pleasure in them.
4 हे परमेश्वर, तपाईं मेरो राजा हुनुहुन्छ । याकूबको निम्ति विजय दिनुहोस् ।
You are my King and my God; ordering salvation for Jacob.
5 तपाईंद्वारा नै हामी आफ्ना शत्रुहरूलाई धकेल्नेछौं । हाम्रा विरुद्ध खडा हुनेहरूलाई तपाईंको नाउँद्वारा नै हामी कुल्चनेछौं ।
Through you will we overcome our haters; by your name will they be crushed under our feet who are violent against us.
6 किनकि म आफ्नो धनुमा भरोसा गर्नेछैनँ, न त मलाई मेरो तरवारले बचाउनेछ ।
I will not put faith in my bow, my sword will not be my salvation.
7 तर हाम्रो शत्रहरूबाट तपाईंले हामीलाई बाचउनुभएको छ र हामीलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूलाई लाजमा पार्नुभएको छ ।
But it is you who have been our saviour from those who were against us, and have put to shame those who had hate for us.
8 दिनभरि हामीले परमेश्वरमा नै गर्व गरेका छौं र तपाईंको नाउँलाई नै हामी सदासर्वदा धन्यवाद दिनेछौं । सेला
Our pride is in God at all times, to his name we give praise for ever. (Selah)
9 तर अहिले तपाईंले हामीलाई फाल्नुभएको र हामीमाथि अनादर ल्याउनुभएको छ, र हाम्रा फौजसँग तपाईं जानुहुन्न ।
But now you have sent us away from you, and put us to shame; you do not go out with our armies.
10 तपाईंले हामीलाई शत्रुबाट फर्काउनुहुन्छ । अनि हामीलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूले आफ्नो निम्ति लूट्न्छन् ।
Because of this we are turned back by the attacker: those who have hate for us take our goods for themselves.
11 तपाईंले हामीलाई मार्न लगिएका भेडाझैं बनाउनुभएको छ र हामीलाई जातिहरूका माझमा तितरबितर पार्नुभएको छ ।
You have made us like sheep which are taken for meat; we are put to flight among the nations.
12 तपाईंले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई सित्तैंमा बेच्नुभएको छ, यसो गरेर तपाईंले आफ्नो सम्पत्ति वृद्धि गर्नुभएको छैन ।
You let your people go for nothing; your wealth is not increased by their price.
13 तपाईंले हामीलाई हाम्रो छिमेकीहरूको हप्की बनाउनुन्छ, हाम्रा वरिपरिकाहरूले गिल्ला र खिसी गरे ।
You have made us to be looked down on by our neighbours, we are laughed at and shamed by those who are round about us.
14 तपाईंले हामीलाई जातिहरूका माझमा अपमान, मानिसहरूले घृणाले शिर हल्लाउने बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
Our name is a word of shame among the nations, a sign for the shaking of heads among the peoples.
15 दिनभरि मेरि अनादर मेरो सामु हुन्छ र मेरो मुहारको लाजले मलाई ढाकेको छ,
My downfall is ever before me, and I am covered with the shame of my face;
16 हप्काउने र अपमान गर्ने सोरको कारणले, शत्रुहरू र बदला लिनेहरूको कारणले ।
Because of the voice of him who says sharp and bitter words; because of the hater and him who is the instrument of punishment.
17 यी सबै कुरा हामीमा हुन आएका छन् । तापनि हामीले तपाईंलाई बिर्सेका वा तपाईंको करारसँग झुटो किसिमले व्यवहार गरेका छैनौं ।
All this has come on us, but still we have kept you in our memory; and we have not been false to your word.
18 हाम्रो हृदय बरालिएको छैन । हाम्रा कदमहरू तपाईको मार्गबाट भड्किएका छैनन् ।
Our hearts have not gone back, and our steps have not been turned out of your way;
19 तापनि तपाईंले हामीलाई गम्भिर रूपले नष्ट पारेर स्यालहरूका ठाउँ बनाउनुभएको छ र हामीलाई मृत्युको छायाले ढाक्नुभएको छ ।
Though you have let us be crushed in the place of jackals, though we are covered with darkest shade.
20 हामीले आफ्नो परमेश्वरको नाउँ बिर्सेका वा हाम्रा हातहरू विदेशी देवताहरूतिर फैलाएका छौं भने,
If the name of our God has gone out of our minds, or if our hands have been stretched out to a strange god,
21 के परमेश्वर यो कुरा खोजी गर्नुहुन्नथ्यो र? किनकि हृदयका गोप्यताहरू उहाँले जान्नुहुन्छ ।
Will not God make search for it? for he sees the secrets of the heart.
22 वस्तवमा, तपाईंकै खातिर हामी दिनभरि मारिंदैछौं । मार्न लगिएका भेडाहरूझै हामी ठानिएका छौं ।
Truly, because of you we are put to death every day; we are numbered like sheep for destruction.
23 हे परमप्रभु, जाग्नुहोस्, तपाईं किन सुत्नुहुन्छ? उठ्नुहोस्, हामीलाई स्थायी रूपमा नफाल्नुहोस् ।
Why are you sleeping, O Lord? awake! and come to our help, do not give us up for ever.
24 तपाईंले किन आफ्नो मुहार लुकाउनुहुन्छ र हाम्रा कष्ट र हाम्रा अत्याचारलाई बिर्सनुहुन्छ?
Why is your face covered, and why do you give no thought to our trouble and our cruel fate?
25 किनकि हामी पग्लेर धूलोमा मिलेका छौं । हाम्रा शरीरहरू भूइँमा टाँसिन्छन् ।
For our souls are crushed down to the dust: our bodies are stretched out on the earth.
26 हाम्रो सहायताको निम्ति उठ्नुहोस् र आफ्नो करारको विश्वस्तताको निम्ति हाम्रो उद्धार गर्नुहोस् ।
Up! and come to our help, and give us salvation because of your mercy.
