भजनसंग्रह 49
1 ए सबै मानिसहरू हो, यो कुरा सुन । ए संसारका सबै बासिन्दाहरू हो कान थाप ।
Unto the end, a psalm for the sons of Core. Hear these things, all ye nations: give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world.
2 माथिल्लो र तल्लो दर्जाका, गरीब र धनी दुवै एकसाथ ।
All you that are earthborn, and you sons of men: both rich and poor together.
3 मेरो मुखले बुद्धिका कुरा बोल्नेछ र मेरो हृदयको ध्यान समझको हुनेछ ।
My mouth shall speak wisdom: and the meditation of my heart understanding.
4 म आफ्ना कान दृष्टान्तमा लगाउनेछु । म आफ्नो दृष्टान्तलाई वीणा बजाएर सुरु गर्नेछु ।
I will incline my ear to a parable; I will open my proposition on the psaltery.
5 जब अधर्मले मलाई घेरा हाल्छ, तब म किन खराब दिनहरूको डर मान्ने?
Why shall I fear in the evil day? the iniquity of my heel shall encompass me.
6 आफ्ना सम्पत्तिमा भरोसा गर्नेहरू र आफ्नो धेरै धन घमण्ड गर्नेहरूसँग म किन डराउने?
They that trust in their own strength, and glory in the multitude of their riches,
7 यो निश्चय हो कि कसैले आफ्नो भाइलाई बचाउन वा त्यसको निम्ति परमेश्वरलाई छुकाराको मोल तिर्न सक्दैन,
No brother can redeem, nor shall man redeem: he shall not give to God his ransom,
8 किनकि कसैको जीवनको छुटकारा मूल्य महङ्गो छ र हामीले तिर्नुपर्ने जति त कसैले तिर्न सक्दैन ।
Nor the price of the redemption of his soul: and shall labour for ever,
9 कोही पनि सदासर्वदा जीवित रहन सक्दैन, ताकि त्यसको शरीर सडेर नजाओस् ।
And shall still live unto the end.
10 किनकि त्यसले सडेको देख्नेछ । बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरू मर्छन् । मूर्ख र क्रूर त्यसरी नै नाश हुन्छन् र आफ्ना सम्पत्ति अरूलाई छोड्छन् ।
He shall not see destruction, when he shall see the wise dying: the senseless and the fool shall perish together: And they shall leave their riches to strangers:
11 आफ्ना परिवारहरू सधैंभरि निरन्तर रहन्छन्, र आफू बसोवास गरेका ठाउँहरू सबै पुस्तालाई हुन्छ भन्ने तिनीहरूका भित्री विचार हुन्छ । आफ्ना जमिनहरूलाई तिनीहरूले आफ्नै नाउँ दिन्छन्।
And their sepulchres shall be their houses for ever. Their dwelling places to all generations: they have called their lands by their names.
12 तर धन भए पनि मानिस सधैं बाँच्न सक्दैन । त्यो नष्ट हुने जङ्गली पशुजस्तै हो ।
And man when he was in honour did not understand; he is compared to senseless beasts, and is become like to them.
13 तिनीहरूको यो मार्ग नै तिनीहरूको मूर्खता हो । तापनि तिनीहरू पछि, मानिसहरूले तिनीहरूका भनाइहरूलाई मान्यता दिन्छन् ।
This way of theirs is a stumblingblock to them: and afterwards they shall delight in their mouth.
14 भेडाहरूझैं ती चिहानको निम्ति नियुक्त हुन्छन्, र मृत्युचाहिं तिनीहरूका गोठाला हुनेछ । सोझाहरूले बिहान तिनीहरूमाथि राज्य गर्नेछन् र तिनीहरूलाई बस्ने कुनै ठाउँ नभई तिनीहरूका शरीरहरू चिहानमा नष्ट हुनेछन् । (Sheol h7585)
They are laid in hell like sheep: death shall feed upon them. And the just shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their help shall decay in hell from their glory. (Sheol h7585)
15 तर परमेश्वरले मेरो जीवनलाई चिहानको शक्तिबाट उद्धार गर्नुहुनेछ । उहाँले मलाई ग्रहण गर्नुहुनेछ । सेला (Sheol h7585)
But God will redeem my soul from the hand of hell, when he shall receive me. (Sheol h7585)
16 कोही धनी हुँदा र त्यसको घरको गौरव बढ्दा नडरा ।
Be not thou afraid, when a man shall be made rich, and when the glory of his house shall be increased.
17 किनकि जब त्यो मर्नेछ, तब त्यसले कुनै कुरा पनि लानेछैन । त्यसको गौरव त्यसको पछिपछि जानेछैन ।
For when he shall die he shall take nothing away; nor shall his glory descend with him.
18 त्यो जीवित हुँदा नै त्यसले आफ्नो प्राणलाई धन्यको भन्यो र जब तिमीले आफ्नो निम्ति जीवन बताउँछौ, तब मानिसहरूले तिम्रो प्रशंसा गर्छन्—
For in his lifetime his soul will be blessed: and he will praise thee when thou shalt do well to him.
19 त्यो आफ्नो पुर्खाहरूका पुस्तामा जानेछ र तिनीहरूले फेरि कहिल्यै त्योति देख्नेछैनन् ।
He shall go in to the generations of his fathers: and he shall never see light.
20 जससँग सम्पत्ति छ, तर समझ छैन, त्यो जङ्गली पशुहरूजस्तै हो, जो नाश हुन्छ ।
Man when he was in honour did not understand: he hath been compared to senseless beasts, and made like to them.
