< भजनसंग्रह 90 >
1 हे परमप्रभु, सबै पुस्ताभरि नै तपाईं हाम्रो सरणस्थान हुनुभएको छ ।
Lord, thou have been our dwelling-place in all generations.
2 पहाडहरू बनाउनुअगि वा तपाईंले पृथ्वी र संसारलाई बनाउनुअगि, अनादिदेखि अनन्तसम्म नै तपाईं परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ ।
Before the mountains were brought forth, or thou had ever formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou are God.
3 तपाईंले मानिसलाई धूलोमा फर्काउनुहुन्छ, र तपाईं भन्नुहुन्छ, “ए मानवजातिका सन्तानहरू हो, फर्क ।”
Thou turn man to destruction, and say, Return, ye sons of men.
4 किनकि तपाईंको दृष्टिमा हजार वर्षचाहिं बितेर जाँदा हिजोको दिन र रातको एक पहरजस्तै हो ।
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई बाढीले झैं बढार्नुहुन्छ र तिनीहरू निदाउँछन् । बिहानमा तिनीहरू उम्रने घाँसहरूजस्तै हुन्छन् ।
Thou carry them away as with a flood. They are as a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up.
6 बिहानमा त्यो फक्रिन्छ र बढ्छ । साँझमा त्यो ओइलाउँछ र सुक्छ ।
In the morning it flourishes, and grows up. In the evening it is cut down, and withers.
7 साँच्चै, हामी तपाईंको रिसमा नष्ट भएका छौं र तपाईंको क्रोधमा हामी त्रसित छौं ।
For we are consumed in thine anger, and in thy wrath are we troubled.
8 तपाईंले हाम्रा अधर्महरू आफ्नो सामु, हाम्रा लुकेका पापहरू आफ्नो उपस्थितिमा राख्नुभएको छ ।
Thou have set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9 हाम्रो जीवन तपाईंको क्रोधमा बितेर जान्छ । हाम्रो वर्षहरू सुस्सकेराझैं बित्छ ।
For all our days are passed away in thy wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
10 हाम्रा आयु सत्तरी वर्ष वा हामी स्वस्थ्य छौं भने असी वर्ष हुन्छ । तर हाम्रा उत्तम वर्षहरू पनि कष्ट र पीडाले पूर्ण छन् । हो, ती चाँडै बितिजन्छन् र हामी उडिजान्छौं ।
The days of our years are threescore years and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore years, yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it is soon gone, and we fly away.
11 तपाईंको रिसको प्रचण्डता र तपाईंको भय समानको तपाईंको क्रोध कसले जान्दछ?
Who knows the power of thine anger, and thy wrath according to the fear that is due to thee?
12 त्यसैले हाम्रो जीवनको विचार गर्न हामीलाई सिकाउनुहोस्, ताकि हामी बुद्धिमान् भएर जिउन सकौं।
So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom.
13 हे परमप्रभु, फर्कनुहोस्! यो कहिलेसम्म हुनेछ? आफ्नो सेवकमाथि दया गर्नुहोस् ।
Return, O Jehovah. How long? And relent concerning thy servants.
14 बिहान हामीलाई तपाईंको करारको विश्वस्तताले सन्तुष्ट पार्नुहोस्, ताकि हाम्रो जीवनभरि हामी आनन्दित र खुसी हुन सकौं।
O satisfy us in the morning with thy loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 हामीलाई विपत्तिमा पार्नुभएका दिनहरू र हामीले कष्ट भोगेका वर्षहरू जति थिए त्यति नै हामीलाई खुसी पार्नुहोस् ।
Make us glad according to the days in which thou have afflicted us, and the years in which we have seen evil.
16 तपाईंको सेवकले तपाईंको काम देखोस् र हाम्रा छोराछोरीले तपाईंको ऐश्वर्य देखून् ।
Let thy work appear to thy servants, and thy glory upon their sons.
17 परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको कृपा हाम्रो होस् । हाम्रा हातका कामहरू फलिफाप होऊन् । वास्तवमा, हाम्रा हातका कामहरू फलिफाप गरिदिनुहोस् ।
And let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us. And establish thou the work of our hands upon us, yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
