1 हे परमप्रभु, सबै पुस्ताभरि नै तपाईं हाम्रो सरणस्थान हुनुभएको छ ।
A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, you have been our refuge in all generations.
2 पहाडहरू बनाउनुअगि वा तपाईंले पृथ्वी र संसारलाई बनाउनुअगि, अनादिदेखि अनन्तसम्म नै तपाईं परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्छ ।
Before the mountains existed, and [before] the earth and the world were formed, even from age to age, You are.
3 तपाईंले मानिसलाई धूलोमा फर्काउनुहुन्छ, र तपाईं भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “ए मानवजातिका सन्तानहरू हो, फर्क ।”
Turn not man back to [his] low place, whereas you said, Return, you sons of men?
4 किनकि तपाईंको दृष्‍टिमा हजार वर्षचाहिं बितेर जाँदा हिजोको दिन र रातको एक पहरजस्तै हो ।
For a thousand years in your sight are as the yesterday which is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई बाढीले झैं बढार्नुहुन्छ र तिनीहरू निदाउँछन् । बिहानमा तिनीहरू उम्रने घाँसहरूजस्तै हुन्‍छन् ।
Years shall be vanity to them: let the morning pass away as grass.
6 बिहानमा त्‍यो फक्रिन्‍छ र बढ्छ । साँझमा त्‍यो ओइलाउँछ र सुक्‍छ ।
In the morning let it flower, and pass away: in the evening let it droop, let it be withered and dried up.
7 साँच्‍चै, हामी तपाईंको रिसमा नष्‍ट भएका छौं र तपाईंको क्रोधमा हामी त्रसित छौं ।
For we have perished in your anger, and in your wrath we have been troubled.
8 तपाईंले हाम्रा अधर्महरू आफ्‍नो सामु, हाम्रा लुकेका पापहरू आफ्‍नो उपस्थितिमा राख्‍नुभएको छ ।
You have set our transgressions before you: our age is in the light of your countenance.
9 हाम्रो जीवन तपाईंको क्रोधमा बितेर जान्छ । हाम्रो वर्षहरू सुस्‍सकेराझैं बित्छ ।
For all our days are gone, and we have passed away in your wrath: our years have spun out their tale as a spider.
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 ।
[As for] the days of our years, in them are seventy years; and if [men should be] in strength, eighty years: and the greater part of them would be labour and trouble; for weakness overtakes us, and we shall be chastened.
11 तपाईंको रिसको प्रचण्डता र तपाईंको भय समानको तपाईंको क्रोध कसले जान्दछ?
Who knows the power of your wrath?
12 त्यसैले हाम्रो जीवनको विचार गर्न हामीलाई सिकाउनुहोस्, ताकि हामी बुद्धिमान् भएर जिउन सकौं।
and [who knows how] to number [his days] because of the fear of your wrath? So manifest your right hand, and those that are instructed in wisdom in the heart.
13 हे परमप्रभु, फर्कनुहोस्! यो कहिलेसम्म हुनेछ? आफ्नो सेवकमाथि दया गर्नुहोस् ।
Return, O Lord, how long? and be entreated concerning your servants.
14 बिहान हामीलाई तपाईंको करारको विश्‍वस्‍तताले सन्‍तुष्‍ट पार्नुहोस्, ताकि हाम्रो जीवनभरि हामी आनन्‍दित र खुसी हुन सकौं।
We have been satisfied in the morning with your mercy; and we did exult and rejoice:
15 हामीलाई विपत्तिमा पार्नुभएका दिनहरू र हामीले कष्‍ट भोगेका वर्षहरू जति थिए त्यति नै हामीलाई खुसी पार्नुहोस् ।
let us rejoice in all our days, in return for the days wherein you did afflict us, the years wherein we saw evil.
16 तपाईंको सेवकले तपाईंको काम देखोस् र हाम्रा छोराछोरीले तपाईंको ऐश्‍वर्य देखून् ।
And look upon your servants, and upon your works; and guide their children.
17 परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको कृपा हाम्रो होस् । हाम्रा हातका कामहरू फलिफाप होऊन् । वास्तवमा, हाम्रा हातका कामहरू फलिफाप गरिदिनुहोस् ।
And let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us: and do you direct for us the works of our hands.
