भजनसंग्रह 53

1 मूर्खले आफ्नो मनमा भन्छ, “ईश्‍वर छँदैछैन ।” तिनीहरू भ्रष्‍ट छन् र घृणित अधर्म गरेका छन् । असल गर्ने कोही पनि छैन ।

“To the chief musician upon Machalath, a Maskil of David.” The worthless fool saith in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, and they are abominable [in their] injustice: there is none that doth good.

2 कसैले बुझ्‍छन्, वा परमेश्‍वरलाई खोज्छन् कि भनी हेर्न उहाँले मानवजातिका सन्तानहरूलाई स्वर्गबाट हेर्नुहुन्छ ।

God looketh down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be one intelligent, one who seeketh for God.

3 तिनीहरू सबै जना बरालिएका छन् । तिनीहरू एकसाथ भ्रष्‍ट भएका छन् । असल गर्ने कोही पनि छैन, एक जना पनि छैन ।

Every one [of them] hath departed [from righteousness]; altogether are they become corrupt: there is none that doth good, no, not one.

4 के अधर्म गर्नेहरूको कुनै समझ नै छैन, जसले मेरा मानिसहरूलाई रोटी खाएझैं खान्छन् र तिनीहरूले परमेश्‍वरलाई पुकारा गर्दैनन्?

Is there no knowledge in the workers of wickedness? who eat up my people as they eat bread: [while] they do not call on God.

5 डराउनुपर्ने कुनै कारण नभए तापनि तिनीहरू भयङ्कर डरमा हुन्‍छन् । किनकि तिमीहरू विरुद्ध पाल टाँग्‍नेहरूका हाडहरू परमेश्‍वरले छरपस्ट पार्नुहुनेछ । यस्ता मानिसहरू लाजमा पर्नेछन्, किनभने परमेश्‍वरले तिनीहरूलाई इन्कार गर्नुभएको छ ।

There were they terrified with terror where there was no terror; for God had scattered the bones of those that encamped against thee: thou didst put them to shame, because God had rejected them.

6 इस्राएलको उद्धार सियोनबाट आएको भए त हुन्थ्यो! जब परमेश्‍वरले आफ्ना मानसिहरूलाई निर्वासनबाट फिर्ता ल्याउनुहुन्‍छ, तब याकूब आनन्‍दित र इस्राएल खुसी हुनेछ ।

Oh that some one might bring the salvation of Israel out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, [then] will Jacob be glad, [and] Israel will rejoice.
