भजनसंग्रह 22
1 हे मेरो परमेश्वर, हे मेरो परमेश्वर! किन मलाई छाडनुभयो? मलाई बचाउन तपाईं किन यति टाढा हुनुहुन्छ! तपाईं मेरो विलौना, गुहार सुन्नलाई कति टाढा हुनुहुन्छ!
2 हे मेरो परमेश्वर, मैले तपाईंलाई दिउँसो बोलाएँ तर तपाईंले मलाई उत्तर दिनु भएन अनि मैले निरन्तर तपाईंलाई रातभरि बोलाएँ।
3 हे परमेश्वर तपाईं मात्र पवित्र हुनुहुन्छ तपाईं राजा जस्तो बस्नुहुन्छ। इस्राएल का प्रशंसाहरू तपाईंको सिंहासन हो।
4 हाम्रा पिता-पुर्खाहरूले तपाईंमाथि भरोसा गरे हो तिनीहरूले तपाईंमाथि भरोसा गरे, अनि तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई बचाउनु भयो।
5 हे परमेश्वर, हाम्रा पिता-पुर्खाहरूले तपाईंलाई गुहार मागे अनि तिनीहरू आफ्ना शत्रुहरूबाट जोगिए। तिनीहरूले तपाईंमाथि भरोसा राखे अनि तिनीहरू निराश भएनन्!
6 यसकारण के म कीरा हुँ मानिस होइन? मानिसहरू मबाट लज्जित छन्। तिनीहरूले मलाई निन्दा गर्छन्।
7 प्रत्येक जसले मलाई हेर्छ मेरो खिसी गर्छ। उसले आफ्नो टाउको हल्लाउँछ र मलाई जिब्रो देखाउँछ।
8 तिनीहरूले मलाई भन्दछन् “परमप्रभुलाई गुहारको लागि बोलाऊ, हुन सक्छ तिमीलाई बचाउलान। यदि उनले तिमीलाई सँच्ची नै मन पराउँदछन् भने निःसन्देह उनले तिमीलाई रक्षा गर्ने नै छन्!”
9 हे परमेश्वर, सत्य हो भनि तपाईं मात्र एकजना हुनुहुन्छ जसमाथि म आश्रित हुन्छु। तपाईंले म जन्मेको दिनदेखि नै मेरो खुबै हेरचाह गर्नु भएकोछ। जब म दूध चुस्ने बालकै थिएँ तपाईंले मलाई आश्वसन र सान्त्वना दिनुभयो।
10 तपाईं मेरो जन्म काल देखि नै परमेश्वर हुनुभएको छ। म आमाको गर्भबाट निस्कने बित्तिकै तपाईंको हेरचाहमा राखिएको थिएँ।
11 यसैले हे परमेश्वर, मलाई नछाड्नु होस्! सङ्कष्ट नजिक छ। त्यहाँ मलाई साथ दिने कोही पनि छैनन्।
12 मानिसहरू मेरो चारैतिर छन्। तिनीहरू बलिया साँढेहरू जस्ता छन् जसले मलाई घेरेर राखेको छ।
13 तिनीहरूले मलाई गर्जंदै शिकार निल्ने सिंहले जस्तै आक्रमण गरिरहेका छन्।
14 मेरो शक्ति क्षीण भएको छ जसरी जमीनमा पानी पोखिन्छन्। मेरा जम्मै हाडहरू अलग भइसकेको छन्। मेरो आँट हराई सक्यो!
15 मेरो मुख फुटेको माटोको भाँडो जस्तै सूक्खा छ। मेरो जिब्रोमाथि तालुमा टाँसिदै छ। तपाईंले मलाई मृत्युको धूलोमा फ्याँक्नु भएकोछ।
16 दुष्ट मानिसहरू “कुकुरहरू” झैं हुन्, जो मेरो चारैतिर छन्। तिनीहरूले मलाई पासोमा पारे। तिनीहरूले मेरा खुट्टा र हातहरू सिहंजस्तै नै चिथोरेका छन्।
17 म मेरो हाडहरू देख्न सक्छु अनि मानिसहरूले मलाई चियो गरिरहेका छन्! तिनीहरूले मलाई हेरिरहेका छन्!
18 ती मानिसहरूले मेरो लुगाहरू बाँडिरहेका छन्। तिनीहरूले मेरो पोशाकहरूको निम्ति चिठ्ठा उडाइरहेका छन्।
19 हे परमप्रभु, मलाई छोडी नजानुहोस्! तपाईं मेरो बल हुनुहुन्छ। मेरो सहायताको निम्ति आइहाल्नुहोस्।
20 हे परमप्रभु, मेरो प्राण तरवारबाट बचाउँनुहोस्। मेरो बहुमूल्य प्राण ती कुकुरहरूबाट जोगाई दिनुहोस्।
21 सिंहको मुखदेखि मेरो रक्षा गर्नुहोस्। साँढेहरूका सींगहरूबाट मेरो रक्षा गर्नुहोस्।
22 हे परमप्रभु, म तपाईंको विषयमा मेरा दाज्यू-भाइहरूलाई भन्नेछु। महासभामा म तपाईंको प्रशंसा गाउनें छु।
23 सम्पूर्ण मानिसहरू ज-जसले उहाँको प्रशंसा गर्दछन् परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर। हे इस्राएल का सन्तान हो, परमप्रभुलाई सम्मान देखाऊ। हे, इस्राएल का मानिसहरू! परमप्रभुको डर मान र सम्मान गर।
24 किन? किनभने परमप्रभुले सङ्कटहरूमा परेका सबै दीनहीन मानिसहरूलाई सहयोग गर्नुहुन्छ। परमप्रभु तिनीहरूदेखि लज्जित हुनुहुन्न। यदि मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुलाई गुहार मागे उहाँ आफैं तिनीहरूदेखि लुक्नु हुन्न।
25 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंले जे गर्नु भएकोछ त्यसको निम्ति म तपाईंको प्रशंसा महासभामा गर्छु। ती सम्पूर्ण भक्तजनहरूको सम्मुख मैले सबै जुन दिन्छु भनेर वचन दिएको थिएँ बलिहरू अर्पण गर्नेछु।
26 नम्र मानिसहरू, आऊ, खाऊ र सुन्तष्ट हौ! तिमीहरू जो परमप्रभुलाई खोज्दै आएका छौ उहाँको प्रशंसा गर! तिमीहरूका हृदयहरू सधैंको निम्ति खुशी रहोस्।
27 टाढा-टाढा भएका जातिका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुलाई सम्झून् र उहाँतिर फर्केर आऊन्! विदेशीहरूका परिवारहरूले पनि, उहाँ अघि दण्डवत् गरून् र उहाँको पूजा गरून्।
28 किन? किनभने परमप्रभु नै राजा हुनुहुन्छ। उहाँले सबै जातिहरू माथि शासन गर्नुहुन्छ।
29 बलिया, स्वस्थ्य मानिसहरूले खाइसके पछि परमेश्वरको सम्मुख शिर निहुराएर ढोग गर्दछन्। वास्तवमा, सबै मानिसहरू मर्नेछ अनि जो मरिसकेका छन्, तिनीहरूले परमेश्वर सम्मुख शिर निहुराएर ढोग्दछन्!
30 अनि भविष्यमा हाम्रा सन्तानहरूले परमप्रभुको सेवा गर्नेछन्। मानिसहरूले सदा सर्वदा उहाँको विषयमा भन्ने छन्।
31 प्रत्येक मानिसहरुले आफ्ना भावी सन्तान र केटा-केटीहरूलाई परमेश्वरले गर्नु भएको राम्रा कुराहरूको विषयमा भन्नेछन्।
1 To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David.
2 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
3 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
4 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
5 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
6 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
7 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
8 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
9 He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
10 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.
11 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother’s belly.
12 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
13 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
14 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
15 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
16 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
17 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
18 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
19 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
20 But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
21 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
22 Save me from the lion’s mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
23 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
24 Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
25 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
26 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
27 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the Lord that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
28 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
29 For the kingdom is the Lord’s: and he is the governor among the nations.
30 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
31 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
32 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
1 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man’s money in his sack’s mouth.
2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
4 And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
5 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
6 And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
7 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
8 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord’s house silver or gold?
9 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord’s bondmen.
10 And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.
11 Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
12 And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.
13 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph’s house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
15 And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
16 And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord’s servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.
17 And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.
18 Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord’s ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
20 And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.
21 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
22 And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
23 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
24 And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
25 And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
26 And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man’s face, except our youngest brother be with us.
27 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:
28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
29 And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
30 Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life;
31 It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
32 For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.
33 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
34 For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.
