भजनसंग्रह 53

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

For the chief musician; set to Mahalath. A maschil of David. A fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt and have done abominable iniquity; there is no one who does good.

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

God looks down from heaven on the children of mankind to see if there are any who understand, who seek after him.

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

They have all turned away. Together they have become corrupt. There is not one who does good, not even one.

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

Do those who commit iniquity have no understanding— those who devour my people as if they were eating bread and 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 ।

They were in great fear, although no reason to fear was there; for God will scatter the bones of whoever will camp against you; such people will be put to shame because God has 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 the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When God brings back his people from the captivity, then Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad!
