< Psalms 18 >
1 I love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.
हे परमप्रभु, मेरो बल, म तपाईंलाई प्रेम गर्छु ।
2 Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
परमप्रभु मेरो चट्टान, मेरो किल्ला हुनुहुन्छ, जसले मलाई सुरक्षामा लानुहुन्छ । उहाँ मेरो परमेश्वर, मेरो चट्टाना हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँमा नै म शरण लिन्छु । उहाँ मेरो ढाल, मेरो उद्धारको सिङ् र मेरो किल्ला हुनुहुन्छ ।
3 I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised. So I shall be saved from my enemies.
म परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गर्छु जो प्रशंसायोग्य हुनुहुन्छ र म आफ्ना शत्रुहरूबाट बाँच्नेछु ।
4 The cords of death encompassed me, and the floods of lawlessness made me afraid.
मृत्युका डोरीहरूले मलाई बाँधे र व्यर्थका छालहरूले मलाई व्याकुल बनाए ।
5 The cords of Sheol were round about me. The snares of death came upon me. (Sheol )
चिहानका डोरीहरूले मलाई बाँधे । मृत्युको पासोले मलाई समात्यो । (Sheol )
6 In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry before him came into his ears.
मेरो कष्टमा, मैले परमप्रभुमा पुकारा गरें । मैले सहायताको निम्ति मेरो परमेश्वरमा पुकारा गरें । उहाँले आफ्नो मन्दिरबाट मेरो सोर सुन्नुभयो । सहायताको निम्ति मेरो पुकारा उहाँको उपस्थितिमा गयो । यो उहाँको कानहरूभित्र गयो ।
7 Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken because he was angry.
तब पृथ्वी हल्लियो र काम्यो । पहाडहरूका जगहरू पनि कामे र हल्लिए किनभने परमेश्वर रिसाउनुभयो ।
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured. Coals were kindled by it.
उहाँको नाकका प्वालहरूबाट धूँवा माथि गयो र उहाँको मुखबाट बल्दो आगो निस्केर आयो । यसले कोइलाहरू बाल्यो ।
9 He also bowed the heavens, and came down, and thick darkness was under his feet.
उहाँले स्वर्ग खोल्नुभयो, र तल आउनुभयो र उहाँको पाउमुनि बाक्लो अध्याँरो थियो ।
10 And he rode upon a cherub, and flew. Yea, he soared upon the wings of the wind.
उहाँ करूबमा चढ्नुभयो र उड्नुभयो । हावाको पखेटाहरूमा उहाँ सवार हुनुभयो ।
11 He made darkness his hiding-place, his pavilion round about him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
अन्धकार र आकाशको बाक्लो बादललाई उहाँले आफ्नो वरिपरिको पाल बनाउनुभयो ।
12 At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.
उहाँको सामु बिजुलीबाट असिना र आगोका भुङ्ग्रोहरू झरे ।
13 Jehovah also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice, hailstones and coals of fire.
परमप्रभु स्वर्गबाट गर्जनुभयो । सर्वोच्चको आवाजले कराउनुयो ।
14 And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them, Yea, lightnings manifold, and discomfited them.
उहाँले आफ्ना वाणहरू प्रहार गर्नुभयो र आफ्ना शत्रुहरूलाई तितरबितर पार्नुभयो । धेरै चट्याङहरूले तिनीहरूलाई तितरबितर पारे ।
15 Then the channels of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were laid bare at thy rebuke, O Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
तब पानीका धारहरू देखा परे । हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंको हप्की र तपाईंको नाकको प्वालहरूका सासको विष्फोटले संसारका जगहरू उदाङ्गो पारिए ।
16 He sent from on high, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
उहाँले माथिबाट हात पसार्नुभयो । उहाँले मलाई समात्नुभयो । उहाँले मलाई उर्लंदो पानीबाट बाहिर निकाल्नुभयो ।
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
मेरो बलियो शत्रुबाट, मलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूबाट उहाँले मलाई बचाउनुभयो, किनकि तिनीहरू मेरो निम्ति अति बलिया थिए ।
18 They came upon me in the day of my calamity, but Jehovah was my stay.
मेरो कष्टको दिनमा तिनीहरू मेरो विरुद्ध आए तर परमप्रभु नै मेरो सहारा हुनुभयो ।
19 He also brought me forth into a large place. He delivered me because he delighted in me.
उहाँले मलाई फराकिलो ठाउँमा स्वतन्त्र राख्नुभयो । उहाँले मलाई बचाउनुभयो किनभने उहाँ मसँग खुसी हुनुभयो ।
20 Jehovah has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands he has recompensed me.
मेरो धार्मिकताको कारणले परमप्रभुले मलाई इनाम दिनुभएको छ । उहाँले मलाई पुनर्स्थापना गर्नुभएको छ किनभने मेरा हातहरू शुद्ध थिए ।
21 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
किनकि मैले परमप्रभुका मार्गहरू मैले पालन गरेको छु र मेरो परमेश्वरबाट दुष्टतासाथ फर्केको छैन ।
22 For all his ordinances were before me, and I put not away his statutes from me.
किनकि उहाँका सबै धार्मिक आदेशहरू मेरो सामु छन् । उहाँको नियमहरूको बारेमा, तिबाट म भड्केको छैन ।
23 I was also perfect with him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.
उहाँको सामु म निर्दोष भएको छु र मैले आफूलाई पापबाट अलग राखेको छु ।
24 Therefore Jehovah has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
यसकारण मेरो धार्मिकताको कारणले परमप्रभुले मलाई पुनर्स्थापना गर्नुभएको छ, किनभने मेरा हातहरू उहाँको आँखाका समु शुद्ध थिए ।
25 With the merciful thou will show thyself merciful. With the perfect man thou will show thyself perfect.
कुनै पनि विश्वासीलाई तपाईं आफै विश्वासयोग्य प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ । निर्दोष मानिसलाई तपाईं आफै निर्दोष प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ ।
26 With the pure thou will show thyself pure. And with the perverse thou will show thyself contrary.
कुनै पनि शुद्ध व्यक्तिलाई तपाईं आफै शुद्ध प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ । तर कुनै पनि बाङ्गो व्यक्तिलाई तपाईं आफै चलाख प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ ।
27 For thou will save the afflicted people, but the haughty eyes thou will bring down.
किनकि तपाईंले कष्टमा परेकाहरूलाई बचाउनुहुन्छ तर घमण्डी, अहङ्कारी आँखालाई तपाईंले तल झार्नुहुन्छ ।
28 For thou will light my lamp. Jehovah my God will lighten my darkness.
तपाईंले मेरो बत्तिलाई प्रकाश दिनुहुन्छ । परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्वरले मेरो अन्धकारलाई उज्यालो पार्नुहुन्छ ।
29 For by thee I run upon a troop, and by my God I leap over a wall.
किनकि तपाईंद्वारा नै म बाधालाई नाघ्न सक्छु । मेरा परमेश्वरद्वारा नै म पर्खाल नाध्न सक्छु ।
30 As for God, his way is perfect. The word of Jehovah is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
परमेश्वरको बारेमा, उहाँको मार्ग सिद्ध छ । परमप्रभुको वचन शुद्ध छ । उहाँमा शरण लिने हरेकको निम्ति उहाँ ढाल हुनुहुन्छ ।
31 For who is God, except Jehovah? And who is a rock, besides our God,
किनकि परमप्रभुबाहेक को परमेश्वर छ र? हाम्रा परमेश्वरबाहेक को चट्टान छ र?
32 the God who girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect?
कम्मर पेटीझैं परमेश्वरले नै मलाई बल दिनुहुन्छ, जसले निर्दोष व्यक्तिलाई आफ्नो मार्गमा राख्नुहुन्छ ।
33 He makes my feet like hinds' feet, and sets me upon my high places.
उहाँले मेरा खुट्टाहरूलाई हरिणको जस्तै तेज बनाउनुहुन्छ र मलाई उच्च ठाउँहरूमा राख्नुहुन्छ ।
34 He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of brass.
युद्धको निम्ति उहाँले मेरा हातहरूलाई तालिम दिनुहुन्छ र मेरा पाखुराहरूले काँसाको धनु झुकाउँछन् ।
35 Thou have also given me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand has held me up, and thy gentleness has made me great.
तपाईंले मलाई आफ्नो उद्धारको ढाल दिनुभएको छ । तपाईंको दाहिने हातले मलाई सहायता गरेको छ र तपाईंको कृपाले मलाई महान् बनाएको छ ।
36 Thou have enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
तपाईंले मेरो तल मेरो खुट्टाहरूलाई ठाउँ फराकिलो पार्नुभएको छ ताकि मेरा खुट्टाहरू चिप्लेका छैनन् ।
37 I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. Neither will I turn again till they are consumed.
मैले आफ्ना शत्रुहरूलाई खेदें र तिनीहरूलाई समातें । तिनीहरू नाश नभएसम्म म फर्किनँ ।
38 I will smite them through, so that they shall not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.
मैले तिनीहरूलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारें ताकि तिनीहरू उठ्न सकेनन् । तिनीहरू मेरा खुट्टाहरूमुनि ढलेका छन् ।
39 For thou have girded me with strength to the battle. Thou have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
किनकि युद्धको निम्ति कम्मर पेटीझैं तपाईंले मलाई बल दिनुभयो । मेरो विरुद्ध उठ्नेहरूलाई तपाईंले मेरो अधीनमा पार्नुभयो ।
40 Thou have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
मेरा शत्रुहरूका गर्दन तपाईंले मलाई दिनुभयो । मलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूलाई मैले निर्मूल पारें ।
41 They cried, but there was none to save, even to Jehovah, but he answered them not.
तिनीहरूले सहायताको निम्ति पुकारा गरे, तर कसैले तिनीहरूलाई बचाएन । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गरे, तर उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनुभएन ।
42 Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the mire of the streets.
हावाको सामु धूलोझैं मैले तिनीहरूलाई चकनाचूर पारें । गल्लीमा हिलोझैं मैले तिनीहरूलाई फालें ।
43 Thou have delivered me from the strivings of the people. Thou have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
मानिसहरूका विवादबाट तपाईंले मलाई बचाउनुभयो । तपाईंले मलाई जातिहरूमाथि शिर तुल्याउनुभएको छ । मैले नचिनेका मानिसहरूले मेरो सेवा गर्छन् ।
44 As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.
तिनीहरूले मेरा कुरा सुन्ने बित्तिकै, तिनीहरूले मेरा आज्ञा पालन गरे । विदेशीहरू मेरो सामु झुक्न बाध्य भए ।
45 The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their close places.
विदेशीहरू आफ्ना किल्लाहरूबाट थरथर कम्दै बाहिर आए ।
46 Jehovah lives, and blessed be my rock, and exalted be the God of my salvation,
परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ । मेरो चट्टानको प्रशंसा होस् । मेरो उद्धारका परमेश्वरलाई उच्च पारियोस् ।
47 even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.
मेरो निम्ति बदला लिनुहुने परमेश्वर उहाँ नै हुनुहुन्छ, जसले जातिहरूलाई मेरो वशमा पार्नुहुन्छ ।
48 He rescues me from my enemies. Yea, thou lift me up above those who rise up against me. Thou deliver me from the violent man.
मेरा शत्रहरूबाट म मुक्त पारिएको छु । वास्तवमा, मेरो विरुद्ध उठ्नेहरूभन्दा माथि तपाईंले मलाई उठाउनुभयो । हिंस्रक मानिसहरूबाट तपाईंले मलाई बचाउनुभयो ।
49 Therefore I will give thanks to thee, O Jehovah, among the Gentiles, and will sing praises to thy name.
यसकारण, हे परमप्रभु, म तपाईंलाई जातिहरूको माझमा धन्यवाद दिनेछु । तपाईंको नाउँमा प्रशंसा म गाउनेछु ।
50 He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
परमेश्वरले आफ्नो राजालाई महान् विजय दिनुहुन्छ र उहाँले आफ्नो करारको विश्वस्तता आफ्नो अभिषिक्त जन, दाऊद र तिनका सन्तानहरूलाई सदासर्वदा प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ ।
