भजनसंग्रह 74
1 हे परमेश्वर, तपाईंले हामीलाई किन सदाको निम्ति इन्कार गर्नुभएको छ? तपाईंको क्रोध किन तपाईंका खर्कका भेडाहरूका विरुद्धमा दन्किन्छ?
[A Psalm] of instruction for Asaph. Therefore have you rejected [us], O God, for ever? [therefore] is your wrath kindled against the sheep of your pasture?
2 आफ्ना मानिसहरू जसलाई तपाईंले प्राचीन समयमा किन्नुभयो, तपाईंको आफ्नै उत्तराधिकार हुनलाई उद्धार गर्नुभएका कुलहरू र तपाईं वास गर्नुहुने सियोन पर्वतलाई सम्झनुहोस् ।
Remember your congregation which you have purchased from the beginning; you did ransom the rod of your inheritance; this mount Sion wherein you have lived.
3 आउनुहोस्, शत्रुले पवित्रस्थानमा गरेका सम्पूर्ण भग्नावशेष, सारा सर्वनाशलाई हेर्नुहोस् ।
Lift up your hands against their pride continually; [because of] all that the enemy has done wickedly in your holy places.
4 तपाईंको तोकिएको ठाउँको बिचमा तपाईंका वैरीहरू गर्जन्छन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना युद्धका झन्डाहरू खडा गर्छन् ।
And they that hate you have boasted in the midst of your feast; they have set up their standards for signs,
5 बञ्चरोले घना जङ्गल काटेझैं तिनीहरूले काटेर लगे ।
ignorantly as it were in the entrance above;
6 तिनीहरूले बट्टाहरूलाई फुटाएका छन् र टुक्र-टुक्रा पारेका छन् । तिनीहरूले बन्चरो र घनहरूले फुटाए ।
they cut down its doors at once with axes as in a wood of trees; they have broken it down with hatchet and stone cutter.
7 तपाईंको पवित्रस्थान तिनीहरूले आगोले जलाए । तपाईं वास गर्नुहुने ठाउँलाई तिनीहरूले भूइँमा ढालेर अपवित्र पारे ।
They have burnt your sanctuary with fire to the ground; they have profaned the habitation of your name.
8 तिनीहरूले आफ्ना हृदयहरूमा भने, “तिनीहरू सबैलाई हामी नाश गर्नेछौं ।” देशमा भएका तपाईंको आराधना हुने ठाउँहरू सबै तिनीहरूले जलाए ।
They have said in their heart, [even] all their kindred together, Come, let us abolish the feasts of the Lord from the earth.
9 हामी अब कुनै चिन्हहरू देख्दैनौं । अब कोही अगमवक्ता छैनन् र यो कहिलेसम्म रहन्छ भनी हाम्रा बिचमा हुने कसैले पनि जान्दैन ।
We have not seen our signs; there is no longer a prophet; and [God] will not know us any more.
10 हे परमेश्वर, शत्रुहरूले कहिलेसम्म हामीलाई अपमान गर्छन्? के शत्रुहरूले सदासर्वदा तपाईंको निन्दा गर्नेछन्?
How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach? shall the enemy provoke your name forever?
11 आफ्नो बाहुली, तपाईंको दाहिने हात तपाईंले किन रोक्नुहुन्छ? आफ्नो दाहिने हात आफ्नो खल्तीबाट झिक्नुहोस् र तिनीहरूलाई नाश पार्नुहोस् ।
Therefore turn you away your hand, and your right hand from the midst of your bosom for ever?
12 तापनि पृथ्वीमा उद्धार ल्याउनुभएर परमेश्वर प्राचीन समयदेखि नै मेरो राजा हुनुभएको छ ।
But God is our King of old; he has wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 तपाईंले समुद्रलाई आफ्नो शक्तिले विभाजन गर्नुभयो । तपाईंले समुद्री भयानक जन्तुहरूका शिरहरू तोड्नुभयो ।
You did establish the sea, in your might, you did break to pieces the heads of the dragons in the water.
14 तपाईंले लिव्यातन्को शिर कुच्याउनुभयो । तपाईंले त्यसलाई उजास्थानमा बस्नेहरूलाई खुवाउनुभयो ।
You did break to pieces the heads of the dragon; you did give him [for] meat to the Ethiopian nations.
15 तपाईंले मूलहरू र खोलाहरूका मुहान खोल्नुभयो । तपाईंले बगिरहेका नदीहरूलाई सुकाउनुभयो ।
You did cleave fountains and torrents; you dried up mighty rivers.
16 दिन तपाईंको हो र रात पनि तपाईंकै हो । तपाईंले सूर्य र चनद्रमालाई आफ्नो ठाउँमा राख्नुभयो ।
The day is your, and the night is your; you have prepared the sun and the moon.
17 तपाईंले पृथ्वीको सबै सिमाना तोक्नुभएको छ । तपाईंले हिउँद र ग्रीष्म बनाउनुभएको छ ।
You have made all the borders of the earth; you have made summer and spring.
18 हे परमप्रभु, शत्रुहरूले तपाईंलाई कसरी अपमान गरे सो सम्झनुहोस् । अनि मूर्ख मानिसहरूले तपाईंको नाउँको निन्दा गरेका छन् ।
Remember this your creation: an enemy has reproached the Lord, and a foolish people has provoked your name.
19 तपाईंको ढुकुरको जीवन जङ्गली पशुलाई नदिनुहोस् । थिचोमिचोमा परेका तपाईंका मानिसहरूका जीवन सधैं नबिर्सनुहोस् ।
Deliver not to the wild beasts a soul that gives praise to you: forget not for ever the souls of your poor.
20 आफ्नो करार सम्झनुहोस्, किनकि देशका अन्धकार क्षेत्रहरू हिंसाले भरिएको ठाउँहरू हुन् ।
Look upon your covenant: for the dark [places] of the earth are filled with the habitations of iniquity.
21 थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरू लाजमा परेर फर्किने नतुल्याउनुहोस् । गरीब र थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूले तपाईंको नाउँको स्तुति गरून् ।
let not the afflicted and shamed one be rejected: the poor and needy shall praise your name.
22 हे परमेश्वर, उठ्नुहोस् । तपाईंको आफ्नो इज्जतको रक्षा गर्नुहोस् । मूर्खहरूले दिनभरि कसरी तपाईंको अपमान गर्छन् सम्झनुहोस् ।
Arise, O God, plead your cause: remember your reproaches that come from the foolish one all the day.
23 तपाईंका वैरीहरूका आवाजहरू वा तपाईंलाई निरन्तर अनादर गर्नेहरूका कोलाहल नबिर्सनुहोस् ।
Forget not the voice of your suppliants: let the pride of them that hate you continually ascend before you.
