< भजनसंग्रह 58 >
1 ए शासकहरू हो, के तिमीहरू धर्मिकतामा बोल्छौ? ए मानिसहरू, के तिमीहरू ठिक किसमले न्याय गर्छौ?
When you mighty men speak, you never say what is right; you never decide things about people justly [RHQ]!
2 गर्दैनौ, तिमीहरू आफ्नो हृदयमा दुष्टता गर्छौ । तिमीहरू आफ्नै हातले देशभरि हिंसा फैलाउँछौ ।
No, in your inner beings you think only about doing what is wrong, and you commit violent crimes in this land [of Israel].
3 दुष्टहरू गर्भमा हुँदा पनि तिनीहरू पथभ्रष्ट हुन्छन् । जन्मेदेखि नै तिनीहरू झुट बोलेर पथभ्रष्ट हुन्छन् ।
Wicked people do wrong things and tell lies from the time that they are born [DOU].
4 तिनीहरूका विष सर्पको विषजस्तै छ । तिनीहरू बहिरा गोमनजस्तै छन् जसले यसका कानहरू बन्द गर्छ,
God, show in the heavens how great you are! And show your glory to people all over the earth! What wicked people say [injures people like] the venom of a snake [MET]; They refuse to listen to good advice, [as though they were] cobras that were deaf [MET]!
5 त्यसले सपेराको आवाज सुन्दैन, तिनीहरू जत्ति नै निपुण भए पनि पर्वाह छैन ।
As a result, [like a snake that does not respond when] a charmer plays a flute or when someone sings magic songs, [they do not pay attention when others rebuke them].
6 हे परमेश्वर, तिनीहरूका दाँतहरू भाँचिदिनुहोस् । हे परमप्रभु, जवान सिंहहरूका बङ्गराहरू झारिदिनुहोस् ।
God, as for these enemies who [want to attack me like] young lions, break their teeth!
7 पानी बगेर गएजस्तै तिनीहरू बिलेर जाऊन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना काँडाहरू हान्दा, तिनका चुच्चो नभएजस्तै ती होऊन् ।
Cause them to disappear like water disappears [in dry ground]! Cause the arrows that they shoot to have no (heads/sharp points)!
8 तिनीहरू शंखेकीराजस्तै होऊन् र बिलि जाऊन् र तिनीहरू एउटी स्त्रीको तुहेको बालकजस्तै होऊन् जसले कहिल्यै सूर्यको उज्यालो देख्दैनन् ।
Cause them to become like snails that disappear in the slime; cause them to be like babies that are born dead!
9 तिम्रा भाँडाहरूले काँढाको आगोको राप थाहा पाउनअगि नै हरिया काँढाहरू र जलिरहेका काँढाहरूजस्तै त्यसले तिनीहरूलाई भुमरीसँगै उठाइ लानेछ ।
Get rid of them [as fast as] thornbushes are blown away [after they are cut] (OR, [as fast as] a fire heats a pot over burning thorns).
10 धर्मीले परमेश्वरको बदला देख्दा, त्यो आनन्दित हुनेछ । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना खुट्टाहरू दुष्टहरूका रगतमा धुनेछन्,
Righteous people will rejoice when they see wicked people being punished as they deserve; they will wash their feet in the blood of wicked people.
11 ताकि मानिसहरूले भन्नेछन्, “साँच्चै, धर्मी व्यक्तिको निम्ति इनाम छ । साँच्चै, परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ जसले पृथ्वीको न्याय गर्नुहुन्छ ।”
[Then] people will say, “It is true that there is a reward for righteous people; and there is indeed a God who judges people justly here on the earth!”
