भजनसंग्रह 53

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

To the Overseer. — 'On a disease.' — An instruction, by David. A fool said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They have done corruptly, Yea, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing good.

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

God from the heavens looked on the sons of men, To see if there be an understanding one, [One] seeking God.

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

Every one went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good — not even one.

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

Have not workers of iniquity known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, God they have not called.

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 they feared a fear — there was no fear, For God hath scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against thee, Thou hast put to shame, For God hath despised them.

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

Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When God turneth back [to] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice — Israel is glad!
