भजनसंग्रह 73
1 निश्चय नै परमेश्वर इस्राएलको निम्ति, शुद्ध हृदय हुनेहरूका निम्ति भला हुनुहुन्छ ।
BOOK III A Psalm of Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, even to such as are pure in heart.
2 तर मेरो बारेमा, मेरा खुट्टाहरू झण्डै चिप्ले । मेरा खुट्टाहरू मेरो मुनिबाट झण्डै चिप्ले ।
But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
3 किनभने जब मैले दुष्टहरूका फलिफाप देखें, तब मैले अहङ्कारीहरूको डाह गरें ।
For I was envious at the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 किनकि मृत्युसम्म नै तिनीहरूलाई कुनै पीडा नै हुँछैन, तर तिनीहरू बलिया र स्वस्थ्य हुन्छन् ।
For there are no pangs at their death, and their body is sound.
5 अरू मानिसहरूका बोझहरूबाट तिनीहरू मुक्त छन् । अरू मानिसहरूलाई झैं तिनीहरूलाई कष्ट हुँदैन ।
In the trouble of man they are not; neither are they plagued like men.
6 तिनीहरूका घाँटीमा सिक्रीझैं तिनीहरू घमण्डले सजिछन् । वस्त्रले ढाकेझैं तिनीहरूलाई हिंसाले ढाक्नेछ ।
Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck; violence covereth them as a garment.
7 यस्ता अन्धोपनबाट नै पाप आउँछ । तिनीहरूका हृदयहरूबाट दुष्ट विचारहरू जान्छन् ।
Their eyes stand forth from fatness; they are gone beyond the imaginations of their heart.
8 तिनीहरू दुष्टतापूर्वक गिल्ला गर्छन् र बोल्छन् । आफ्नो अहङ्कारमा तिनीहरूले अत्यचारको धम्की दिन्छन् ।
They scoff, and in wickedness utter oppression; they speak as if there were none on high.
9 आफ्नो मुखले तिनीहरू स्वर्गको विरुद्धमा बोल्छन् र तिनीहरूका जिब्रोहरूले पृथ्वीको अधिकार गर्छन् ।
They have set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
10 यसकारण तिनका मानिसहरू तिनीहरूतिर फर्कन्छन् र प्रशस्त पानी बगाइन्छ ।
Therefore His people return hither; and waters of fullness are drained out by them.
11 तिनीहरू भन्छन्, “परमेश्वरले कसरी जान्नुहुन्छ? के सर्वोच्चसँग ज्ञान छ र?”
And they say: 'How doth God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?'
12 हेर्नुहोस्ः यी मानिसहरू दुष्टहरू हुन् । तिनीहरू निश्चिन्त छन् र झन्-झन् धनी हुँदैछन् ।
Behold, such are the wicked; and they that are always at ease increase riches.
13 निश्चय नै मैले व्यार्थमा मेरो हृदयलाई सुरक्षित राखेको छु र निर्दोषतामा मेरा हातहरू धोएको छु ।
Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart, and washed my hands in innocency;
14 किनकि म दिनभरि कष्टमा परेको छु र हरेक बिहान ताड्ना पाएको छु ।
For all the day have I been plagued, and my chastisement came every morning.
15 “म यी कुराहरू भन्नेछु,” भनी मैले भनेको भए, तपाईंका छोराछोरीका यो पुस्तालाई मैले धोका दिनेथिएँ ।
If I had said: 'I will speak thus', behold, I had been faithless to the generation of Thy children.
16 मैले यी कुराहरू बुझ्ने कोसिस गरे तापनि, मेरो निम्ति यो धेरै कठिन थियो ।
And when I pondered how I might know this, it was wearisome in mine eyes;
17 तब म परमेश्वरको पवित्रस्थानभित्र गएँ र तिनीहरूका अन्तिम अवस्थालाई बुझें ।
Until I entered into the sanctuary of God, and considered their end.
18 निश्चय नै तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई चिप्लो ठाउँहरूमा राख्नुहुन्छ । तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई सर्वनाश लानुहुन्छ ।
Surely Thou settest them in slippery places; Thou hurlest them down to utter ruin.
19 तिनीहरू कसरी क्षणभरमा नै उजाडस्थान बने! तिनीहरूको अन्त भयो र भयानक त्रासहरूले समाप्त पारिए ।
How are they become a desolation in a moment! They are wholly consumed by terrors.
20 कोही ब्युँझँदा, ती सपनामा भएजस्तो हुन्छन् । हे परमप्रभु, जब तपाई खडा हुनुहुन्छ, तब तपाईंले ती सपनाहरूका बारेमा केही विचार गर्नुहुन्न ।
As a dream when one awaketh, so, O Lord, when Thou arousest Thyself, Thou wilt despise their semblance.
21 किनकि मेरो हृदय शोकमा परेको थियो र म गहिरो चोटमा परेको थिएँ ।
For my heart was in a ferment, and I was pricked in my reins.
22 म मूर्ख थिएँ र अन्तरदृष्टिको कमी थियो । तपाईंको सामु म मूर्ख पशुजस्तै थिएँ ।
But I was brutish, and ignorant; I was as a beast before Thee.
23 तापनि म सधैं तपाईंसँगै छु । तपाईंले मेरो दाहिने हात समात्नुहुन्छ ।
Nevertheless I am continually with Thee; Thou holdest my right hand.
24 तपाईंले मलाई आफ्नो सल्लाहले मार्गदर्शन गर्नुहुनेछ र पछि मलाई महिमामा ग्रहण गर्नुहुनेछ ।
Thou wilt guide me with Thy counsel, and afterward receive me with glory.
25 स्वर्गमा तपाईंबाहेक मेरो को छ र? पृथ्वीमा मैले इच्छा गर्ने तपाईंबाहेक अरू कोही छैन ।
Whom have I in heaven but Thee? And beside Thee I desire none upon earth.
26 मेरो शरीर र मेरो मुटु कमजोर हुन्छन्, तर परमेश्वर नै सदासर्वदा मेरो हृदयको बल हुनुहुन्छ ।
My flesh and my heart faileth; but God is the rock of my heart and my portion for ever.
27 तपाईंदेखि टाढा हुनेहरू नष्ट हुनेछन् । तपाईंप्रति विश्वासयोग्य नहुनेहरूलाई तपाईंले नष्ट पार्नुहुनेछ ।
For, lo, they that go far from Thee shall perish; Thou dost destroy all them that go astray from Thee.
28 तर मेरो बारेमा, मैले गर्नुपर्ने कुराचाहिं परमेश्वरको नजिक जाने हो । परमप्रभु परमेश्वरलाई मैले आफ्नो शरणस्थान बनाएको छु । तपाईंका सबै कामहरू म घोषणा गर्नेछु ।
But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all Thy works.
