1 हे परमेश्‍वर, हामीले हाम्रो कानले सुनेका छौं, हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूका समयमा, प्राचीन दिनहरूमा जे काम तपाईंले गर्नुभयो ति तिनीहरूले हामीलाई भनेका छन् ।
For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. A contemplative psalm. We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us what work you did in their days, in the days of old.
2 तपाईंले जातिहरूलाई आफ्नै हातले लखेट्नुभयो, तर तपाईंले हाम्रा मानिसहरूलाई बसाल्नुभयो । तपाईंले मानिसहरूलाई कष्‍ट दिनुभयो तर तपाईंले देशमा हाम्रा मानिसहरूलाई फैलाउनुभयो ।
You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, but you spread them abroad.
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 didn’t get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.
4 हे परमेश्‍वर, तपाईं मेरो राजा हुनुहुन्छ । याकूबको निम्ति विजय दिनुहोस् ।
God, you are my King. Command victories for Jacob!
5 तपाईंद्वारा नै हामी आफ्‍ना शत्रुहरूलाई धकेल्‍नेछौं । हाम्रा विरुद्ध खडा हुनेहरूलाई तपाईंको नाउँद्वारा नै हामी कुल्चनेछौं ।
Through you, we will push down our adversaries. Through your name, we will tread down those who rise up against us.
6 किनकि म आफ्‍नो धनुमा भरोसा गर्नेछैनँ, न त मलाई मेरो तरवारले बचाउनेछ ।
For I will not trust in my bow, neither will my sword save me.
7 तर हाम्रो शत्रहरूबाट तपाईंले हामीलाई बाचउनुभएको छ र हामीलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूलाई लाजमा पार्नुभएको छ ।
But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed those who hate us.
8 दिनभरि हामीले परमेश्‍वरमा नै गर्व गरेका छौं र तपाईंको नाउँलाई नै हामी सदासर्वदा धन्यवाद दिनेछौं । सेला
In God we have made our boast all day long. We will give thanks to your name forever. (Selah)
9 तर अहिले तपाईंले हामीलाई फाल्‍नुभएको र हामीमाथि अनादर ल्याउनुभएको छ, र हाम्रा फौजसँग तपाईं जानुहुन्‍न ।
But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, and don’t go out with our armies.
10 तपाईंले हामीलाई शत्रुबाट फर्काउनुहुन्छ । अनि हामीलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूले आफ्नो निम्ति लूट्न्छन् ।
You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us take plunder for themselves.
11 तपाईंले हामीलाई मार्न लगिएका भेडाझैं बनाउनुभएको छ र हामीलाई जातिहरूका माझमा तितरबितर पार्नुभएको छ ।
You have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.
12 तपाईंले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई सित्तैंमा बेच्‍नुभएको छ, यसो गरेर तपाईंले आफ्‍नो सम्पत्ति वृद्धि गर्नुभएको छैन ।
You sell your people for nothing, and have gained nothing from their sale.
13 तपाईंले हामीलाई हाम्रो छिमेकीहरूको हप्‍की बनाउनुन्‍छ, हाम्रा वरिपरिकाहरूले गिल्ला र खिसी गरे ।
You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.
14 तपाईंले हामीलाई जातिहरूका माझमा अपमान, मानिसहरूले घृणाले शिर हल्लाउने बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
15 दिनभरि मेरि अनादर मेरो सामु हुन्‍छ र मेरो मुहारको लाजले मलाई ढाकेको छ,
All day long my dishonor is before me, and shame covers my face,
16 हप्‍काउने र अपमान गर्ने सोरको कारणले, शत्रुहरू र बदला लिनेहरूको कारणले ।
at the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses, because of the enemy and the avenger.
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, yet we haven’t forgotten you. We haven’t been false to your covenant.
18 हाम्रो हृदय बरालिएको छैन । हाम्रा कदमहरू तपाईको मार्गबाट भड्‍किएका छैनन् ।
Our heart has not turned back, neither have our steps strayed from your path,
19 तापनि तपाईंले हामीलाई गम्‍भिर रूपले नष्‍ट पारेर स्यालहरूका ठाउँ बनाउनुभएको छ र हामीलाई मृत्युको छायाले ढाक्‍नुभएको छ ।
though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
20 हामीले आफ्‍नो परमेश्‍वरको नाउँ बिर्सेका वा हाम्रा हातहरू विदेशी देवताहरूतिर फैलाएका छौं भने,
If we have forgotten the name of our God, or spread out our hands to a strange god,
21 के परमेश्‍वर यो कुरा खोजी गर्नुहुन्‍नथ्यो र? किनकि हृदयका गोप्यताहरू उहाँले जान्‍नुहुन्छ ।
won’t God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
22 वस्तवमा, तपाईंकै खातिर हामी दिनभरि मारिंदैछौं । मार्न लगिएका भेडाहरूझै हामी ठानिएका छौं ।
Yes, for your sake we are killed all day long. We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.
23 हे परमप्रभु, जाग्‍नुहोस्, तपाईं किन सुत्‍नुहुन्छ? उठ्नुहोस्, हामीलाई स्थायी रूपमा नफाल्‍नुहोस् ।
Wake up! Why do you sleep, Lord? Arise! Don’t reject us forever.
24 तपाईंले किन आफ्नो मुहार लुकाउनुहुन्‍छ र हाम्रा कष्‍ट र हाम्रा अत्‍याचारलाई बिर्सनुहुन्छ?
Why do you hide your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?
25 किनकि हामी पग्‍लेर धूलोमा मिलेका छौं । हाम्रा शरीरहरू भूइँमा टाँसिन्छन् ।
For our soul is bowed down to the dust. Our body clings to the earth.
26 हाम्रो सहायताको निम्ति उठ्नुहोस् र आफ्‍नो करारको विश्‍वस्‍तताको निम्‍ति हाम्रो उद्धार गर्नुहोस् ।
Rise up to help us. Redeem us for your loving kindness’ sake.
