भजनसंग्रह 49
1 ए सबै मानिसहरू हो, यो कुरा सुन । ए संसारका सबै बासिन्दाहरू हो कान थाप ।
Sh'ma ·Hear obey·, all you peoples. Listen, all you inhabitants of the world,
2 माथिल्लो र तल्लो दर्जाका, गरीब र धनी दुवै एकसाथ ।
both low and high, rich and poor together.
3 मेरो मुखले बुद्धिका कुरा बोल्नेछ र मेरो हृदयको ध्यान समझको हुनेछ ।
My mouth will speak words of wisdom. My heart shall utter understanding.
4 म आफ्ना कान दृष्टान्तमा लगाउनेछु । म आफ्नो दृष्टान्तलाई वीणा बजाएर सुरु गर्नेछु ।
I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will open my riddle on the harp.
5 जब अधर्मले मलाई घेरा हाल्छ, तब म किन खराब दिनहरूको डर मान्ने?
Why should I fear in the days of evil, when depravity (moral evil) at my heels surrounds me?
6 आफ्ना सम्पत्तिमा भरोसा गर्नेहरू र आफ्नो धेरै धन घमण्ड गर्नेहरूसँग म किन डराउने?
Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches—
7 यो निश्चय हो कि कसैले आफ्नो भाइलाई बचाउन वा त्यसको निम्ति परमेश्वरलाई छुकाराको मोल तिर्न सक्दैन,
none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.
8 किनकि कसैको जीवनको छुटकारा मूल्य महङ्गो छ र हामीले तिर्नुपर्ने जति त कसैले तिर्न सक्दैन ।
For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,
9 कोही पनि सदासर्वदा जीवित रहन सक्दैन, ताकि त्यसको शरीर सडेर नजाओस् ।
That he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.
10 किनकि त्यसले सडेको देख्नेछ । बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरू मर्छन् । मूर्ख र क्रूर त्यसरी नै नाश हुन्छन् र आफ्ना सम्पत्ति अरूलाई छोड्छन् ।
For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others.
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।
Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever, and their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves.
12 तर धन भए पनि मानिस सधैं बाँच्न सक्दैन । त्यो नष्ट हुने जङ्गली पशुजस्तै हो ।
But man, despite his riches, does not endure. He is like the animals that perish.
13 तिनीहरूको यो मार्ग नै तिनीहरूको मूर्खता हो । तापनि तिनीहरू पछि, मानिसहरूले तिनीहरूका भनाइहरूलाई मान्यता दिन्छन् ।
This is the destiny of those who are foolish, and of those who approve their sayings. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
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 appointed as a flock for Sheol ·Place of the dead·. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol ·Place of the dead·, far from their mansion. (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 power of Sheol ·Place of the dead·, for he will receive me. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·. (Sheol h7585)
16 कोही धनी हुँदा र त्यसको घरको गौरव बढ्दा नडरा ।
Don’t be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased.
17 किनकि जब त्यो मर्नेछ, तब त्यसले कुनै कुरा पनि लानेछैन । त्यसको गौरव त्यसको पछिपछि जानेछैन ।
For when he dies he shall carry nothing away. His glory shall not descend after him.
18 त्यो जीवित हुँदा नै त्यसले आफ्नो प्राणलाई धन्यको भन्यो र जब तिमीले आफ्नो निम्ति जीवन बताउँछौ, तब मानिसहरूले तिम्रो प्रशंसा गर्छन्—
Though while he lived he blessed his soul— and men yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you when you do well for yourself—
19 त्यो आफ्नो पुर्खाहरूका पुस्तामा जानेछ र तिनीहरूले फेरि कहिल्यै त्योति देख्नेछैनन् ।
he shall go to the generation of his fathers. They shall never see the light.
20 जससँग सम्पत्ति छ, तर समझ छैन, त्यो जङ्गली पशुहरूजस्तै हो, जो नाश हुन्छ ।
A man who has riches without understanding, is like the animals that perish.
