< भजनसंग्रह 90 >
1 हे परमप्रभु, सबै पुस्ताभरि नै तपाईं हाम्रो सरणस्थान हुनुभएको छ ।
Lord, you have always (been [like] a home for us/protected us) [MET].
2 पहाडहरू बनाउनुअगि वा तपाईंले पृथ्वी र संसारलाई बनाउनुअगि, अनादिदेखि अनन्तसम्म नै तपाईं परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ ।
Before you created the mountains, before you formed the earth and everything that is in it, you were eternally God, and you will be God forever.
3 तपाईंले मानिसलाई धूलोमा फर्काउनुहुन्छ, र तपाईं भन्नुहुन्छ, “ए मानवजातिका सन्तानहरू हो, फर्क ।”
[When people die], you cause their corpses to become soil again; you change their corpses to become dirt like [the first man] was created from.
4 किनकि तपाईंको दृष्टिमा हजार वर्षचाहिं बितेर जाँदा हिजोको दिन र रातको एक पहरजस्तै हो ।
When you (consider/think about) time, 1,000 years are [as short as] [SIM] one day which passes; [you consider that] [HYP] they are as short as a few hours in the night.
5 तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई बाढीले झैं बढार्नुहुन्छ र तिनीहरू निदाउँछन् । बिहानमा तिनीहरू उम्रने घाँसहरूजस्तै हुन्छन् ।
You cause people suddenly to die [MET]; they [live only a short time], like a dream lasts only a short time. They are like grass/weeds [SIM] that grow up.
6 बिहानमा त्यो फक्रिन्छ र बढ्छ । साँझमा त्यो ओइलाउँछ र सुक्छ ।
In the morning [DOU] the grass sprouts and grows well, but in the evening it dries up and (completely withers/dies).
7 साँच्चै, हामी तपाईंको रिसमा नष्ट भएका छौं र तपाईंको क्रोधमा हामी त्रसित छौं ।
[Similarly], [because of the sins that we have committed], you become angry with us; you terrify us and then you destroy us.
8 तपाईंले हाम्रा अधर्महरू आफ्नो सामु, हाम्रा लुकेका पापहरू आफ्नो उपस्थितिमा राख्नुभएको छ ।
[It is as though] you place our sins in front of you, you spread out even our secret sins where you can see them.
9 हाम्रो जीवन तपाईंको क्रोधमा बितेर जान्छ । हाम्रो वर्षहरू सुस्सकेराझैं बित्छ ।
Because you are angry with us, you cause our lives to end; the years that we live pass as quickly as a sigh does.
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 ।
People live for only 70 years; but if they are strong, some of them live for 80 years. But even during good years we have much pain and troubles; our lives soon end, and we die [EUP].
11 तपाईंको रिसको प्रचण्डता र तपाईंको भय समानको तपाईंको क्रोध कसले जान्दछ?
No one [RHQ] has fully experienced the powerful things you can do to them when you are angry with them, and people are not afraid that you will greatly punish them because of your being angry with them.
12 त्यसैले हाम्रो जीवनको विचार गर्न हामीलाई सिकाउनुहोस्, ताकि हामी बुद्धिमान् भएर जिउन सकौं।
So teach/help us to realize that we live for only a short time in order that we may [use our time] wisely.
13 हे परमप्रभु, फर्कनुहोस्! यो कहिलेसम्म हुनेछ? आफ्नो सेवकमाथि दया गर्नुहोस् ।
Yahweh, how long [will you be angry with us]? Pity us who serve you.
14 बिहान हामीलाई तपाईंको करारको विश्वस्तताले सन्तुष्ट पार्नुहोस्, ताकि हाम्रो जीवनभरि हामी आनन्दित र खुसी हुन सकौं।
Each morning show us that your faithfully loving us is enough for us in order that we may shout joyfully and be happy for the rest of our lives.
15 हामीलाई विपत्तिमा पार्नुभएका दिनहरू र हामीले कष्ट भोगेका वर्षहरू जति थिए त्यति नै हामीलाई खुसी पार्नुहोस् ।
Cause us to now be as happy for as many years as you (afflicted us/caused us to be sad) and we experienced troubles.
16 तपाईंको सेवकले तपाईंको काम देखोस् र हाम्रा छोराछोरीले तपाईंको ऐश्वर्य देखून् ।
Enable us to see the [great] things that you do and enable our descendants to [also] see your glorious power.
17 परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको कृपा हाम्रो होस् । हाम्रा हातका कामहरू फलिफाप होऊन् । वास्तवमा, हाम्रा हातका कामहरू फलिफाप गरिदिनुहोस् ।
Lord, our God, give us your blessings and enable us to be successful; yes, cause us to be successful in [everything] that we do [DOU]!
