Psalms 74

1 A contemplation by Asaph. God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?

हे परमेश्‍वर, तपाईंले हामीलाई किन सदाको निम्ति इन्कार गर्नुभएको छ? तपाईंको क्रोध किन तपाईंका खर्कका भेडाहरूका विरुद्धमा दन्किन्छ?

2 Remember your congregation, which you purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance: Mount Zion, in which you have lived.

आफ्ना मानिसहरू जसलाई तपाईंले प्राचीन समयमा किन्‍नुभयो, तपाईंको आफ्नै उत्तराधिकार हुनलाई उद्धार गर्नुभएका कुलहरू र तपाईं वास गर्नुहुने सियोन पर्वतलाई सम्झनुहोस् ।

3 Lift up your feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.

आउनुहोस्, शत्रुले पवित्रस्थानमा गरेका सम्‍पूर्ण भग्‍नावशेष, सारा सर्वनाशलाई हेर्नुहोस् ।

4 Your adversaries have roared in the middle of your assembly. They have set up their standards as signs.

तपाईंको तोकिएको ठाउँको बिचमा तपाईंका वैरीहरू गर्जन्छन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना युद्धका झन्डाहरू खडा गर्छन् ।

5 They behaved like men wielding axes, cutting through a thicket of trees.

बञ्‍चरोले घना जङ्गल काटेझैं तिनीहरूले काटेर लगे ।

6 Now they break all its carved work down with hatchet and hammers.

तिनीहरूले बट्टाहरूलाई फुटाएका छन् र टुक्र-टुक्रा पारेका छन् । तिनीहरूले बन्‍चरो र घनहरूले फुटाए ।

7 They have burned your sanctuary to the ground. They have profaned the dwelling place of your Name.

तपाईंको पवित्रस्थान तिनीहरूले आगोले जलाए । तपाईं वास गर्नुहुने ठाउँलाई तिनीहरूले भूइँमा ढालेर अपवित्र पारे ।

8 They said in their heart, “We will crush them completely.” They have burned up all the places in the land where God was worshiped.

तिनीहरूले आफ्ना हृदयहरूमा भने, “तिनीहरू सबैलाई हामी नाश गर्नेछौं ।” देशमा भएका तपाईंको आराधना हुने ठाउँहरू सबै तिनीहरूले जलाए ।

9 We see no miraculous signs. There is no longer any prophet, neither is there among us anyone who knows how long.

हामी अब कुनै चिन्हहरू देख्दैनौं । अब कोही अगमवक्‍ता छैनन् र यो कहिलेसम्म रहन्छ भनी हाम्रा बिचमा हुने कसैले पनि जान्‍दैन ।

10 How long, God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme your name forever?

हे परमेश्‍वर, शत्रुहरूले कहिलेसम्म हामीलाई अपमान गर्छन्? के शत्रुहरूले सदासर्वदा तपाईंको निन्दा गर्नेछन्?

11 Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it from your chest and consume them!

आफ्‍नो बाहुली, तपाईंको दाहिने हात तपाईंले किन रोक्‍नुहुन्छ? आफ्‍नो दाहिने हात आफ्नो खल्‍तीबाट झिक्‍नुहोस् र तिनीहरूलाई नाश पार्नुहोस् ।

12 Yet God is my King of old, working salvation throughout the earth.

तापनि पृथ्वीमा उद्धार ल्याउनुभएर परमेश्‍वर प्राचीन समयदेखि नै मेरो राजा हुनुभएको छ ।

13 You divided the sea by your strength. You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.

तपाईंले समुद्रलाई आफ्नो शक्तिले विभाजन गर्नुभयो । तपाईंले समुद्री भयानक जन्‍तुहरूका शिरहरू तोड्नुभयो ।

14 You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces. You gave him as food to people and desert creatures.

तपाईंले लिव्यातन्‌को शिर कुच्‍याउनुभयो । तपाईंले त्यसलाई उजास्‍थानमा बस्‍नेहरूलाई खुवाउनुभयो ।

15 You opened up spring and stream. You dried up mighty rivers.

तपाईंले मूलहरू र खोलाहरूका मुहान खोल्‍नुभयो । तपाईंले बगिरहेका नदीहरूलाई सुकाउनुभयो ।

16 The day is yours, the night is also yours. You have prepared the light and the sun.

दिन तपाईंको हो र रात पनि तपाईंकै हो । तपाईंले सूर्य र चनद्रमालाई आफ्नो ठाउँमा राख्‍नुभयो ।

17 You have set all the boundaries of the earth. You have made summer and winter.

तपाईंले पृथ्वीको सबै सिमाना तोक्‍नुभएको छ । तपाईंले हिउँद र ग्रीष्म बनाउनुभएको छ ।

18 Remember this, that the enemy has mocked you, Yahweh. Foolish people have blasphemed your name.

हे परमप्रभु, शत्रुहरूले तपाईंलाई कसरी अपमान गरे सो सम्झनुहोस् । अनि मूर्ख मानिसहरूले तपाईंको नाउँको निन्दा गरेका छन् ।

19 Don’t deliver the soul of your dove to wild beasts. Don’t forget the life of your poor forever.

तपाईंको ढुकुरको जीवन जङ्गली पशुलाई नदिनुहोस् । थिचोमिचोमा परेका तपाईंका मानिसहरूका जीवन सधैं नबिर्सनुहोस् ।

20 Honor your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the earth.

आफ्नो करार सम्झनुहोस्, किनकि देशका अन्धकार क्षेत्रहरू हिंसाले भरिएको ठाउँहरू हुन् ।

21 Don’t let the oppressed return ashamed. Let the poor and needy praise your name.

थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरू लाजमा परेर फर्किने नतुल्‍याउनुहोस् । गरीब र थिचोमिचोमा परेकाहरूले तपाईंको नाउँको स्तुति गरून् ।

22 Arise, God! Plead your own cause. Remember how the foolish man mocks you all day.

हे परमेश्‍वर, उठ्नुहोस् । तपाईंको आफ्नो इज्‍जतको रक्षा गर्नुहोस् । मूर्खहरूले दिनभरि कसरी तपाईंको अपमान गर्छन् सम्झनुहोस् ।

23 Don’t forget the voice of your adversaries. The tumult of those who rise up against you ascends continually.

तपाईंका वैरीहरूका आवाजहरू वा तपाईंलाई निरन्‍तर अनादर गर्नेहरूका कोलाहल नबिर्सनुहोस् ।
