Psalms 17
1 A Prayer. Of David. Let my cause come to your ears, O Lord, give attention to my cry; give ear to my prayer which goes not out from false lips.
हे परमप्रभु, न्यायको निम्ति मेरो बिन्ती सुन्नुहोस् । मदतको निम्ति मेरो पुकारामा ध्यान दिनुहोस् । मेरो छलरहित ओठको मेरो प्रार्थनामा कान थाप्नुहोस् ।
2 Be my judge; for your eyes see what is right.
मेरो निर्दोषता तपाईंको उपस्थितिबाट आओस् । तपाईंको आँखाले जे ठिक छ सो देखून् ।
3 You have put my heart to the test, searching me in the night; you have put me to the test and seen no evil purpose in me; I will keep my mouth from sin.
तपाईंले मेरो हृदय जाँच्नुहुन्छ भने, राति तपाईं मकहाँ आउनुहुन्छ भने, तपाईंले मलाई शुद्ध पार्नुहुनेछ र कुनै दुष्ट योजनाहरू पाउनुहुनेछैन । मेरो मुखले अपराध गर्नेछैन ।
4 As for the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.
मानिसजातिका कामहरूका बारेमा, तपाईंको मुखको वचनले मैले आफैंलाई अराजकका चालबाट अलग राखेको छु ।
5 I have kept my feet in your ways, my steps have not been turned away.
मेरा पाइलाहरू तपाईंका मार्गहरूमा दृढतासाथ अडिग छन् । मेरा पाइलाहरू चिप्लेका छैनन् ।
6 My cry has gone up to you, for you will give me an answer, O God: let your ear be turned to me, and give attention to my words.
हे परमेश्वर, म तपाईंमा पुकार्छु, किनकि तपाईंले मलाई जवाफ दिनुहुन्छ । आफ्नो कान मतिर फर्काउनुहोस् र म बोल्दा सुन्नुहोस् ।
7 Make clear the wonder of your mercy, O saviour of those who put their faith in your right hand, from those who come out against them.
आफ्ना शत्रुहरूबाट तपाईंमा शरण लिनेहरूलाई तपाईं जसले आफ्नो दाहिने बाहुलिले बचाउनुहुन्छ, आफ्नो करारको विश्वस्तता अचम्म किसिमले देखाउनुहोस् ।
8 Keep me as the light of your eyes, covering me with the shade of your wings,
आफ्नो आँखाको नानीलाई झैं मेरो सुरक्षा गर्नुहोस् । आफ्नो पखेटाको छायामुनि मलाई लुकाउनुहोस् ।
9 From the evil-doers who are violent to me, and from those who are round me, desiring my death.
मलाई आक्रमण गर्ने व्यक्तिको उपस्थितिबाट, मलाई घेरा हाल्ने मेरा शत्रुहरूबाट ।
10 They are shut up in their fat: with their mouths they say words of pride.
तिनीहरूले कसैलाई दया गर्दैनन् । तिनीहरूका मुखहरूले घमण्डसाथ बोल्छन् ।
11 They have made a circle round our steps: their eyes are fixed on us, forcing us down to the earth;
तिनीहरूले मेरा पाइलाहरूलाई घेरेका छन् । मलाई प्रहार गरेर जमिनमा ढाल्नलाई तिनीहरूले आफ्ना आँखा लगाउँछन् ।
12 Like a lion desiring its food, and like a young lion waiting in secret places.
तिनीहरू शिकारको उत्कट इच्छा गर्ने सिंहझैं, लुक्ने ठाउँहरूमा ढुकिरहेको जवान सिंहझैं छन् ।
13 Up! Lord, come out against him, make him low, with your sword be my saviour from the evil-doer.
हे परमप्रभु, उठ्नुहोस् । तिनीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्नुहोस् । तिनीहरूकै सामु तिनीहरूलाई पछार्नुहोस् । तपाईंको तरवारले मेरो जीवनलाई दुष्टबाट बचाउनुहोस् ।
14 With your hand, O Lord, from men, even men of the world, whose heritage is in this life, and whom you make full with your secret wealth: they are full of children; after their death their offspring take the rest of their goods.
हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंको हातले मानिसहरूबाट मलाई छुटकारा दिनुहोस्, यस संसारका मानिसहरू जसको समृद्धि यस जीवनमा मात्र छ । तपाईंले आफ्ना बहुमूल्यहरूका पेट दौलतले भर्नुहुनेछ । तिनीहरूका धेरै छोराछोरी हुनेछन् र आफ्ना धन आफ्ना छोराछोरीलाई छोड्नेछन् ।
15 As for me, I will see your face in righteousness: when I am awake it will be joy enough for me to see your form.
मेरो बारेमा, म धार्मिकतामा तपाईंको मुहार हेर्नेछु । तपाईंको दृष्टिमा म ब्युँझँदा, म सन्तुष्ट हुनेछु ।
