भजनसंग्रह 44
1 हे परमेश्वर, हामीले हाम्रो कानले सुनेका छौं, हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूका समयमा, प्राचीन दिनहरूमा जे काम तपाईंले गर्नुभयो ति तिनीहरूले हामीलाई भनेका छन् ।
God, we ourselves have heard what our parents and grandparents told us. They told us about the miracles that you performed long ago.
2 तपाईंले जातिहरूलाई आफ्नै हातले लखेट्नुभयो, तर तपाईंले हाम्रा मानिसहरूलाई बसाल्नुभयो । तपाईंले मानिसहरूलाई कष्ट दिनुभयो तर तपाईंले देशमा हाम्रा मानिसहरूलाई फैलाउनुभयो ।
[They told us] how you expelled the ungodly people and enabled us to live in their land. [They told us] that you punished those ungodly people and enabled your own people to prosper [IDM].
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 ।
It was not by using their own swords that they conquered the people that lived in that land, and it was not by their own power that they were victorious; it was only by your power [MTY, DOU] [that they did those things]; and they were sure that you were with them, and that showed that you were pleased with them.
4 हे परमेश्वर, तपाईं मेरो राजा हुनुहुन्छ । याकूबको निम्ति विजय दिनुहोस् ।
You are my King and my God; it is you who enable us, your people [MTY], to defeat our enemies.
5 तपाईंद्वारा नै हामी आफ्ना शत्रुहरूलाई धकेल्नेछौं । हाम्रा विरुद्ध खडा हुनेहरूलाई तपाईंको नाउँद्वारा नै हामी कुल्चनेछौं ।
It is by your power that we knock our enemies down and tramp on them.
6 किनकि म आफ्नो धनुमा भरोसा गर्नेछैनँ, न त मलाई मेरो तरवारले बचाउनेछ ।
I do not trust that I will be saved by using my bow [and arrows] and my sword.
7 तर हाम्रो शत्रहरूबाट तपाईंले हामीलाई बाचउनुभएको छ र हामीलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूलाई लाजमा पार्नुभएको छ ।
No, it is you who have rescued us from our enemies, it is you who have caused those who hate us to become ashamed [because they were defeated].
8 दिनभरि हामीले परमेश्वरमा नै गर्व गरेका छौं र तपाईंको नाउँलाई नै हामी सदासर्वदा धन्यवाद दिनेछौं । सेला
We have continually boasted about what God [has done for us], and we will thank him [MTY] forever.
9 तर अहिले तपाईंले हामीलाई फाल्नुभएको र हामीमाथि अनादर ल्याउनुभएको छ, र हाम्रा फौजसँग तपाईं जानुहुन्न ।
But [now] you have rejected us and caused us to be disgraced; when our armies march out [to fight a battle], you no [longer] go with them.
10 तपाईंले हामीलाई शत्रुबाट फर्काउनुहुन्छ । अनि हामीलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूले आफ्नो निम्ति लूट्न्छन् ।
You have caused us to run away from our enemies, with the result that they captured the things that belonged to us.
11 तपाईंले हामीलाई मार्न लगिएका भेडाझैं बनाउनुभएको छ र हामीलाई जातिहरूका माझमा तितरबितर पार्नुभएको छ ।
You have allowed us to become like [MET] sheep that were ready to be slaughtered; you scattered us [far away] among [other].
12 तपाईंले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई सित्तैंमा बेच्नुभएको छ, यसो गरेर तपाईंले आफ्नो सम्पत्ति वृद्धि गर्नुभएको छैन ।
[It is as though] [MET] you sold us, your people, [to our enemies] for a very small price, and you did not gain much profit from selling us!
13 तपाईंले हामीलाई हाम्रो छिमेकीहरूको हप्की बनाउनुन्छ, हाम्रा वरिपरिकाहरूले गिल्ला र खिसी गरे ।
People who live in nations near us make fun of us; they laugh at us and deride/belittle us.
14 तपाईंले हामीलाई जातिहरूका माझमा अपमान, मानिसहरूले घृणाले शिर हल्लाउने बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
They make jokes using the name of [our country], they shake their heads [to indicate that they despise us].
15 दिनभरि मेरि अनादर मेरो सामु हुन्छ र मेरो मुहारको लाजले मलाई ढाकेको छ,
All day I feel disgraced; from seeing my face, people know that I am ashamed.
16 हप्काउने र अपमान गर्ने सोरको कारणले, शत्रुहरू र बदला लिनेहरूको कारणले ।
I hear what those who sneer at me and revile me say; I am ashamed in front of my enemies and those who want to harm me.
17 यी सबै कुरा हामीमा हुन आएका छन् । तापनि हामीले तपाईंलाई बिर्सेका वा तपाईंको करारसँग झुटो किसिमले व्यवहार गरेका छैनौं ।
All these things have happened to us [even] though we have not forgotten you, and we are not the ones who disobeyed the agreement you made with [our ancestors].
18 हाम्रो हृदय बरालिएको छैन । हाम्रा कदमहरू तपाईको मार्गबाट भड्किएका छैनन् ।
We have not stopped being loyal to you, and we have not stopped doing what you want us to do [IDM].
19 तापनि तपाईंले हामीलाई गम्भिर रूपले नष्ट पारेर स्यालहरूका ठाउँ बनाउनुभएको छ र हामीलाई मृत्युको छायाले ढाक्नुभएको छ ।
But [it is as though] you have allowed us to be helpless among wild animals, and abandoned us in a deep dark [ravine].
20 हामीले आफ्नो परमेश्वरको नाउँ बिर्सेका वा हाम्रा हातहरू विदेशी देवताहरूतिर फैलाएका छौं भने,
If we had forgotten to worship [MTY] our God, or if we had spread out our hands to [worship] a foreign god,
21 के परमेश्वर यो कुरा खोजी गर्नुहुन्नथ्यो र? किनकि हृदयका गोप्यताहरू उहाँले जान्नुहुन्छ ।
you certainly would have known that, because you know [even] what we secretly think.
22 वस्तवमा, तपाईंकै खातिर हामी दिनभरि मारिंदैछौं । मार्न लगिएका भेडाहरूझै हामी ठानिएका छौं ।
But it is because we belong to you, [that our enemies] are constantly killing us. They act toward us as though we were only sheep to be slaughtered.
23 हे परमप्रभु, जाग्नुहोस्, तपाईं किन सुत्नुहुन्छ? उठ्नुहोस्, हामीलाई स्थायी रूपमा नफाल्नुहोस् ।
[So], Yahweh, arise! Why are you asleep [RHQ]? Get up! Do not reject us forever!
24 तपाईंले किन आफ्नो मुहार लुकाउनुहुन्छ र हाम्रा कष्ट र हाम्रा अत्याचारलाई बिर्सनुहुन्छ?
Why are you not looking at us? Why are you forgetting that we are suffering and being oppressed [by our enemies]?
25 किनकि हामी पग्लेर धूलोमा मिलेका छौं । हाम्रा शरीरहरू भूइँमा टाँसिन्छन् ।
We are pushed down to the ground and we cannot get up.
26 हाम्रो सहायताको निम्ति उठ्नुहोस् र आफ्नो करारको विश्वस्तताको निम्ति हाम्रो उद्धार गर्नुहोस् ।
Arise, and come and help us! Rescue us because you faithfully love us!
