भजनसंग्रह 48
1 परमप्रभु महान् हुनुहुन्छ र हाम्रा परमेश्वरको सहर उहाँको पवित्र पर्वतमा ज्यादै धेरै प्रशंसा हुनुपर्छ ।
For the music director. A psalm of the sons of Korah. The Lord is supreme! He deserves praise in the city of our God on his holy mountain.
2 महान् राजाको सहरको उत्तरमा अवस्थित सियोन पर्वत उच्च ठाउँमा सुन्दर, सारा पृथ्वीको आनन्द हो ।
Mount Zion is high and beautiful, bringing happiness to all the earth; on the northern side is the city of the great King.
3 त्यसका दरबारहरूमा परमेश्वरले आफैलाई शरणस्थानको रूपमा प्रकट गर्नुभएको छ ।
God himself is in the city's fortresses; he is recognized as its defender.
4 हेर्नुहोस्, राजाहरू आफै भेला भए । तिनीहरू सँगसँगै अघि बढे ।
Look at what happened when foreign kings joined forces and came to attack the city.
5 जब तिनीहरूले यो देखे, तब तिनीहरू चकित भए । तिनीहरू भयभित भए र तिनीहरू हतार गरेर गए ।
As soon as they saw it they were astonished and ran away terrified.
6 कम्पले तिनीहरूलाई समात्यो, प्रसव वेदना परेकी स्त्रीझैं पीडित भए ।
They shook all over, and were in agonizing pain like a woman giving birth,
7 पूर्वीय बतासले तपाईंले तर्शीशका जहाजहरू तोड्नुहुन्छ ।
just as the strong east wind wrecks the ships from Tarshish.
8 सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरको सहरमा हामीले जस्तो सुनेका छौं त्यस्तै हामीले देखेका छौं । परमेश्वरले यसलाई सदासर्वदाको निम्ति स्थापित गर्नुहुनेछ । सेला
Just as we had heard, but now we have seen the city of the Lord Almighty. This is the city of our God; he makes it secure forever. (Selah)
9 हे परमेश्वर, हामीले तपाईंको मन्दिरको बिचमा तपाईंको करारको विश्वस्तताका बारेमा विचार गरेका छौं ।
God, we recall your trustworthy love as we worship in the Temple.
10 हे परमेश्वर, तपाईंको नाउँ जस्तो छ पृथ्वीको अन्तिम छेउसम्म तपाईंको प्रशंसा त्यस्तै छ । तपाईंको दाहिने हात धार्मिकताले पूर्ण छ ।
As is fitting for your reputation, God, praises to you stretch all around the world. What you do is always right!
11 तपाईंका धार्मिक आदेशहरूका कारणले सियोन पर्वत खुसी होस्, यहूदाका छोरीहरू आनन्दित होऊन् ।
Let the people of Mount Zion be glad; let the people of Judah celebrate because your judgments are always fair!
12 सियोन पर्वत वरिपरि हिंड, त्यसको चारैतिर जाओ । त्यसका धरहराहरू गन्ती गर,
Go and take a look at Zion. Count the towers as you walk around.
13 त्यसका पर्खालहरू ध्यान लगाएर हेर, र त्यसका दरबारहरू हेर, ताकि तिमीहरूले अर्को पुस्तालाई यसको बारेमा बताउन सक्छौ ।
Inspect the fortifications. Examine the citadels, so you can describe everything to the next generation, telling them:
14 किनकि यही परमेश्वर सदासर्वदा हाम्रा परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ । मृत्युसम्म नै हामीलाई बाटो देखाउने उहाँ नै हुनुहुन्छ ।
“This is who our God is. He is our God forever and ever. He himself will lead us until the very end.”
