भजनसंग्रह 74
1 हे परमेश्वर, तपाईंले हामीलाई किन सदाको निम्ति इन्कार गर्नुभएको छ? तपाईंको क्रोध किन तपाईंका खर्कका भेडाहरूका विरुद्धमा दन्किन्छ?
A maskil of Asaph. Why, O God, have you spurned us forever? Why smokes your wrath 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 the community you purchased of old to become by redemption the tribe of your heritage, Zion, the mountain you made your home.
3 आउनुहोस्, शत्रुले पवित्रस्थानमा गरेका सम्पूर्ण भग्नावशेष, सारा सर्वनाशलाई हेर्नुहोस् ।
Rouse yourself, visit its ruins complete. In the temple the foe has made havoc of all things.
4 तपाईंको तोकिएको ठाउँको बिचमा तपाईंका वैरीहरू गर्जन्छन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना युद्धका झन्डाहरू खडा गर्छन् ।
Like lions your enemies roared through your house, replacing our symbols by signs of their own,
5 बञ्चरोले घना जङ्गल काटेझैं तिनीहरूले काटेर लगे ।
hacking, like woodsmen who lift axes on thickets of trees,
6 तिनीहरूले बट्टाहरूलाई फुटाएका छन् र टुक्र-टुक्रा पारेका छन् । तिनीहरूले बन्चरो र घनहरूले फुटाए ।
smashing with hatchets and hammers all of its carved work together.
7 तपाईंको पवित्रस्थान तिनीहरूले आगोले जलाए । तपाईं वास गर्नुहुने ठाउँलाई तिनीहरूले भूइँमा ढालेर अपवित्र पारे ।
They have set your temple on fire, to the very ground they have outraged the place where lives 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, “Let us utterly crush them.” They have burned all the houses of God in the land.
9 हामी अब कुनै चिन्हहरू देख्दैनौं । अब कोही अगमवक्ता छैनन् र यो कहिलेसम्म रहन्छ भनी हाम्रा बिचमा हुने कसैले पनि जान्दैन ।
No symbol of ours do we see any more: no prophet is there any more, none is with us who knows how long.
10 हे परमेश्वर, शत्रुहरूले कहिलेसम्म हामीलाई अपमान गर्छन्? के शत्रुहरूले सदासर्वदा तपाईंको निन्दा गर्नेछन्?
How long, O God, is the foe to insult? Shall the enemy spurn your name forever?
11 आफ्नो बाहुली, तपाईंको दाहिने हात तपाईंले किन रोक्नुहुन्छ? आफ्नो दाहिने हात आफ्नो खल्तीबाट झिक्नुहोस् र तिनीहरूलाई नाश पार्नुहोस् ।
Why, O Lord, do you hold back your hand, why keep your right hand in the folds of your robe?
12 तापनि पृथ्वीमा उद्धार ल्याउनुभएर परमेश्वर प्राचीन समयदेखि नै मेरो राजा हुनुभएको छ ।
Yet God is our king from the ancient days, in the midst of the earth working deeds of salvation.
13 तपाईंले समुद्रलाई आफ्नो शक्तिले विभाजन गर्नुभयो । तपाईंले समुद्री भयानक जन्तुहरूका शिरहरू तोड्नुभयो ।
It was you who did cleave the sea by your might, and shatter the heads of the ocean monsters.
14 तपाईंले लिव्यातन्को शिर कुच्याउनुभयो । तपाईंले त्यसलाई उजास्थानमा बस्नेहरूलाई खुवाउनुभयो ।
It was you who did crush many-headed Leviathan, and give him as food to the beasts of the wilderness.
15 तपाईंले मूलहरू र खोलाहरूका मुहान खोल्नुभयो । तपाईंले बगिरहेका नदीहरूलाई सुकाउनुभयो ।
It was you who did cleave the fountains and torrents; it was you who did dry the perennial streams.
16 दिन तपाईंको हो र रात पनि तपाईंकै हो । तपाईंले सूर्य र चनद्रमालाई आफ्नो ठाउँमा राख्नुभयो ।
Yours is the day; yours, too, is the night, it was you who did establish the sun and the star.
17 तपाईंले पृथ्वीको सबै सिमाना तोक्नुभएको छ । तपाईंले हिउँद र ग्रीष्म बनाउनुभएको छ ।
It was you who did fix all the borders of earth: summer and winter it’s you who have made them.
18 हे परमप्रभु, शत्रुहरूले तपाईंलाई कसरी अपमान गरे सो सम्झनुहोस् । अनि मूर्ख मानिसहरूले तपाईंको नाउँको निन्दा गरेका छन् ।
Yet, for all this, the foe has insulted you, Lord, and a nation of fools has reviled your name.
19 तपाईंको ढुकुरको जीवन जङ्गली पशुलाई नदिनुहोस् । थिचोमिचोमा परेका तपाईंका मानिसहरूका जीवन सधैं नबिर्सनुहोस् ।
Do not give your dove to the beasts, do not forget your afflicted forever.
20 आफ्नो करार सम्झनुहोस्, किनकि देशका अन्धकार क्षेत्रहरू हिंसाले भरिएको ठाउँहरू हुन् ।
Look to the sleek ones – how full they are: the dark places of earth are the dwellings of violence.
21 थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरू लाजमा परेर फर्किने नतुल्याउनुहोस् । गरीब र थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूले तपाईंको नाउँको स्तुति गरून् ।
O let not the downtrodden turn back ashamed: let the poor and the needy sing praise to your name.
22 हे परमेश्वर, उठ्नुहोस् । तपाईंको आफ्नो इज्जतको रक्षा गर्नुहोस् । मूर्खहरूले दिनभरि कसरी तपाईंको अपमान गर्छन् सम्झनुहोस् ।
Arise, God, and defend your cause: remember how fools all the day insult you.
23 तपाईंका वैरीहरूका आवाजहरू वा तपाईंलाई निरन्तर अनादर गर्नेहरूका कोलाहल नबिर्सनुहोस् ।
Do not forget the uproar of your enemies, the din of your foes that ascends evermore.
