< Psalms 73 >

1 A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
निश्‍चय नै परमेश्‍वर इस्राएलको निम्‍ति, शुद्ध हृदय हुनेहरूका निम्‍ति भला हुनुहुन्छ ।
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had almost slipped.
तर मेरो बारेमा, मेरा खुट्टाहरू झण्डै चिप्ले । मेरा खुट्टाहरू मेरो मुनिबाट झण्डै चिप्‍ले ।
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
किनभने जब मैले दुष्‍टहरूका फलिफाप देखें, तब मैले अहङ्कारीहरूको डाह गरें ।
4 For there are no pangs in their death: but their strength is firm.
किनकि मृत्युसम्म नै तिनीहरूलाई कुनै पीडा नै हुँछैन, तर तिनीहरू बलिया र स्वस्थ्य हुन्‍छन् ।
5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they afflicted like other men.
अरू मानिसहरूका बोझहरूबाट तिनीहरू मुक्‍त छन् । अरू मानिसहरूलाई झैं तिनीहरूलाई कष्‍ट हुँदैन ।
6 Therefore pride surroundeth them as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
तिनीहरूका घाँटीमा सिक्रीझैं तिनीहरू घमण्डले सजिछन् । वस्‍त्रले ढाकेझैं तिनीहरूलाई हिंसाले ढाक्‍नेछ ।
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
यस्ता अन्धोपनबाट नै पाप आउँछ । तिनीहरूका हृदयहरूबाट दुष्‍ट विचारहरू जान्छन् ।
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
तिनीहरू दुष्‍टतापूर्वक गिल्ला गर्छन् र बोल्छन् । आफ्‍नो अहङ्कारमा तिनीहरूले अत्यचारको धम्की दिन्छन् ।
9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
आफ्नो मुखले तिनीहरू स्वर्गको विरुद्धमा बोल्‍छन् र तिनीहरूका जिब्रोहरूले पृथ्वीको अधिकार गर्छन् ।
10 Therefore his people return here: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
यसकारण तिनका मानिसहरू तिनीहरूतिर फर्कन्छन् र प्रशस्‍त पानी बगाइन्छ ।
11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
तिनीहरू भन्छन्, “परमेश्‍वरले कसरी जान्‍नुहुन्छ? के सर्वोच्‍चसँग ज्ञान छ र?”
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
हेर्नुहोस्ः यी मानिसहरू दुष्‍टहरू हुन् । तिनीहरू निश्‍चिन्त छन् र झन्-झन् धनी हुँदैछन् ।
13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
निश्‍चय नै मैले व्यार्थमा मेरो हृदयलाई सुरक्षित राखेको छु र निर्दोषतामा मेरा हातहरू धोएको छु ।
14 For all the day long have I been afflicted, and chastened every morning.
किनकि म दिनभरि कष्‍टमा परेको छु र हरेक बिहान ताड्ना पाएको छु ।
15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
“म यी कुराहरू भन्‍नेछु,” भनी मैले भनेको भए, तपाईंका छोराछोरीका यो पुस्तालाई मैले धोका दिनेथिएँ ।
16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
मैले यी कुराहरू बुझ्‍ने कोसिस गरे तापनि, मेरो निम्ति यो धेरै कठिन थियो ।
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I understood their end.
तब म परमेश्‍वरको पवित्रस्थानभित्र गएँ र तिनीहरूका अन्‍तिम अवस्‍थालाई बुझें ।
18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou didst cast them down into destruction.
निश्‍चय नै तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई चिप्‍लो ठाउँहरूमा राख्‍नुहुन्‍छ । तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई सर्वनाश लानुहुन्‍छ ।
19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
तिनीहरू कसरी क्षणभरमा नै उजाडस्‍थान बने! तिनीहरूको अन्‍त भयो र भयानक त्रासहरूले समाप्‍त पारिए ।
20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
कोही ब्युँझँदा, ती सपनामा भएजस्तो हुन्‍छन् । हे परमप्रभु, जब तपाई खडा हुनुहुन्छ, तब तपाईंले ती सपनाहरूका बारेमा केही विचार गर्नुहुन्‍न ।
21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
किनकि मेरो हृदय शोकमा परेको थियो र म गहिरो चोटमा परेको थिएँ ।
22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
म मूर्ख थिएँ र अन्तरदृष्‍टिको कमी थियो । तपाईंको सामु म मूर्ख पशुजस्तै थिएँ ।
23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast held me by my right hand.
तापनि म सधैं तपाईंसँगै छु । तपाईंले मेरो दाहिने हात समात्‍नुहुन्‍छ ।
24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
तपाईंले मलाई आफ्‍नो सल्लाहले मार्गदर्शन गर्नुहुनेछ र पछि मलाई महिमामा ग्रहण गर्नुहुनेछ ।
25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.
स्वर्गमा तपाईंबाहेक मेरो को छ र? पृथ्‍वीमा मैले इच्‍छा गर्ने तपाईंबाहेक अरू कोही छैन ।
26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
मेरो शरीर र मेरो मुटु कमजोर हुन्छन्, तर परमेश्‍वर नै सदासर्वदा मेरो हृदयको बल हुनुहुन्छ ।
27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go astray from thee.
तपाईंदेखि टाढा हुनेहरू नष्‍ट हुनेछन् । तपाईंप्रति विश्‍वासयोग्‍य नहुनेहरूलाई तपाईंले नष्‍ट पार्नुहुनेछ ।
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
तर मेरो बारेमा, मैले गर्नुपर्ने कुराचाहिं परमेश्‍वरको नजिक जाने हो । परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरलाई मैले आफ्‍नो शरणस्थान बनाएको छु । तपाईंका सबै कामहरू म घोषणा गर्नेछु ।
