Psalms 78
1 Give ear, O my people, to my law. Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
हे मेरा मानिसहरू, मेरो शिक्षा सुन । मेरा मुखका वचनहरू सुन ।
2 I will open my mouth in parables. I will utter dark sayings of old,
दृष्टान्तमा म आफ्नो मुख खोल्नेछु । विगतका गुप्त कुराको बारेमा म गीत गाउनेछु ।
3 which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
हामीले सुनेका र सिकेका कुराहरू, हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले हामीलाई भनेका कुराहरू यिनै हुन् ।
4 We will not hide them from their sons, telling to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, and his strength, and his wondrous works that he has done.
तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरूबाट हामी ती कुरा लुकाउनेछैनौं । परमप्रभुका प्रशंसनीय कामहरू, उहाँको सामर्थ्य र उहाँले गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कामहरूका बारेमा हामी अर्को पुस्तालाई बताउनेछौं ।
5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their sons,
किनकि उहाँले याकूबमा करारका नियमहरू स्थापित गर्नुभयो र इस्राएलमा व्यवस्था दिनुभयो । उहाँले हाम्रा पूर्खाहरूलाई ती आफ्ना सन्तानहरूलाई सिकाउने आज्ञा दिनुभयो ।
6 that the generation to come might know, even the sons who should be born, who should arise and tell to their sons,
उहाँले यस्तो आज्ञा दिनुभयो, ताकि अझै नजन्मेका छोराछोरी, अर्थात् आउने पुस्ताले उहाँका आदेशहरू जानोस्, जसले पछि तिनीहरूका आफ्नै सन्ताहरूलाई ती भन्नुपर्छ ।
7 that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments,
तब तिनीहरूले आफ्नो आसा परमेश्वरमा राखून् र उहाँका कामरू नबिर्सून्, तर उहाँका आज्ञाहरू पालन गरून् ।
8 and might not be as their fathers: a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not steadfast with God.
तब तिनीहरू आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूजस्ता हुनेछैनन्, जो हठी र विद्रोही पुस्ता थिए । एउटा यस्तो पुस्ता जसका हृदयहरू ठिक थिएनन् र जसका आत्माहरू परमेश्वरप्रति समर्पित र विश्वासयोग्य थिएनन् ।
9 The sons of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
एफ्राइमीहरू धनुले सुसज्जित थिए, तर तिनीहरू युद्धको दिनमा पछि फर्के ।
10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law.
तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरसँगको करार पालन गरेनन् र तिनीहरूले उहाँको व्यवस्था पालन गर्न इन्कार गरे ।
11 And they forgot his doings, and his wondrous works that he had shown them.
तिनीहरूले उहाँका कामहरू, उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई प्रकट गर्नुभएको अचम्मका कुराहरूलाई बिर्से ।
12 He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
मिश्र देशमा, सोअनको देशमा तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूका दृष्टिमा उहाँले गर्नुभएको चमत्कारिक कुराहरूलाई तिनीहरूले बिर्से ।
13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through. And he made the waters to stand as a heap.
उहाँले समुद्रलाई दुई भाग पार्नुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई त्यसको पारिपट्टि लानुभयो । उहाँले पानीलाई पर्खालहरूझैं खडा गर्नुभयो ।
14 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
दिनको समयमा बादलले र रातभरि आगोको प्रकाशले उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई डोर्याउनुभयो ।
15 He split rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.
उहाँले उजाडस्थानको चट्टा चिर्नुभयो र समुद्रको गहिराइ भर्न प्रशस्त हुने पानी उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभयो ।
16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
चट्टानबाट उहाँले खोलाहरू बगाउनुभयो र पानीलाई नदीहरूझैं बगाउनुभयो ।
17 Yet they went on to still sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.
तापनि तिनीहरूले उजाड-स्थानमा सर्वोच्चको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गरेर उहाँको विरुद्धमा पाप गरिरहे ।
18 And they challenged God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.
आफ्नो भोक मेटाउनलाई खाना मागेर आफ्ना हृदयहरूले तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरलाई चुनौति दिए ।
19 Yea, they spoke against God. They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
तिनीहरू परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा बोले । तिनीहरूले भने, “परमेश्वरले हामीलाई उजाड-स्थानमा साँच्चै नै खाना खुवाउन सक्नुहुन्छ र?
20 Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?
हेर, उहाँले चट्टानलाई प्रहार गर्नुहुँदा, पानी निस्कियो र नदीहरू बगे । तर के उहाँले रोटी पनि दिन सक्नुहुन्छ? के उहाँले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई मासु दिनुहुनेछ?”
21 Therefore Jehovah heard, and was angry. And a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also went up against Israel,
जब परमप्रभुले यो सुन्नुभयो, तब उहाँ रिसाउनुभयो । त्यसैले उहाँको आगो याकूबको विरुद्ध दन्क्यो र उहाँको रिसले इस्राएललाई आक्रमण गर्यो,
22 because they did not believe in God, and did not trust in his salvation.
किनभने तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरमा विश्वास गरेनन् र उहाँको उद्धारमा भरोसा गरेनन् ।
23 Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven,
तापनि उहाँले माथिका आकाशलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभयो र आकाशका ढोकाहरू खोल्नुभयो ।
24 and he rained down manna upon them to eat, and gave them food from heaven.
तिनीहरूलाई खानलाई उहाँले मन्न बर्साउनुभयो, र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई स्वर्गको अन्न दिनुभयो ।
25 Man ate the bread of the mighty. He sent them food to the full.
मानिसहरूले स्वर्गदूतहरूका रोटी खाए । तिनीहरूलाई उहाँले प्रशस्त गरी खाना पठाउनुभयो ।
26 He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens, and by his power he guided the south wind.
उहाँले आकाशमा पूर्वी बतास चलाउनुभयो र दक्षिणी बतासलाई आफ्नो शक्तिले उहाँले डोर्याउनुभयो ।
27 He also rained flesh upon them as the dust, and winged birds as the sand of the seas.
धूलोझैं उहाँले तिनीहरूमाथि मासु, समुद्रको बालुवाझैं चराहरू बर्साउनुभयो ।
28 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp round about their habitations.
तिनीहरूका शिविरको बिचमा, तिनीहरूका पालहरूको चारैतिर ती झरे ।
29 So they ate, and were well filled, and he gave them their own desire.
त्यसैले तिनीहरूले खाए र अघाए । तिनीहरूले जे लालसा गरे सो उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभयो ।
30 They were not estranged from that which they desired. Their food was yet in their mouths
तर तिनीहरू अझै अघाएका थिएनन् । तिनीहरूको खाना अझै तिनीहरूको मुखमै थियो ।
31 when the anger of God went up against them, and killed of the fattest of them, and smote down the young men of Israel.
तब परमेश्वरको क्रोध तिनीहरूमाथि पर्यो र तिमध्येका बलियाहरूलाई मार्यो । उहाँले इस्राएलका जवानहरूलाई तल झार्नुभयो ।
32 For all this they still sinned, and did not believe in his wondrous works.
यति हुँदा पनि, तिनीहरूले निरन्तर पाप गरे र उहाँका अचम्मका कामहरूमा विश्वास गरेनन् ।
33 Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.
यसकारण परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूका दिनहरू घटाउनुभयो । तिनीहरूका वर्षहरू त्रासले भरिएका थिए ।
34 When he killed them, then they inquired after him, and they returned and sought God earnestly.
जब परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूमाथि विपत्ति ल्याउनुभयो, तब तिनीहरूले उहाँको खोजी गर्न थाले, अनि तिनीहरू फर्के र उहाँलाई उत्सुकतासाथ खोजे ।
35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the Most High God their redeemer.
परमेश्वर तिनीहरूका चट्टान हुनुहुन्थ्यो र सर्वोच्च तिनीहरूका उद्धारकर्ता हुनुहुन्थ्यो भनी तिनीहरूले सम्झे ।
36 But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied to him with their tongue.
तर तिनीहरूले आफ्ना मुखले उहाँसँग चापलुसी गरे र तिनीहरूका शब्दहरूले उहाँसँग झुट बोले ।
37 For their heart was not right with him, nor were they faithful in his covenant.
किनकि तिनीहरूका हृदयहरू उहाँमा स्थिर थिएनन् र तिनीहरू उहाँको करारप्रति विश्वासयोग्य थिएनन् ।
38 But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and destroyed not. Yea, many a time he turned his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
तापनि उहाँ कृपालु हुनुभएर तिनीहरूका अधर्म क्षमा गर्नुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नुभएन । हो, धेरै पल्ट उहाँले आफ्नो रिस थाम्नुभयो र उहाँका सबै क्रोधलाई उत्तेजित गर्नुभएन ।
39 And he remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes away, and comes not again.
तिनीहरू मासुले बनेका हुन्, तिनीहरू बितिजाने र फर्केर नआउने बतास हुन् भनी उहाँले याद गर्नुभयो ।
40 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, and grieved him in the desert!
उजाड-स्थानमा र बाँझो ठाउँहरूमा तिनीहरूले कति धेरै पल्ट उहाँको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गरेर उहाँलाई दुःखी बनाए!
41 And they turned again and challenged God, and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरलाई धेरै पल्ट चुनौति दिए र इस्राएलका परम पवित्रलाई चित्त दुखाए ।
42 They did not remember his hand, nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary,
तिनीहरूले उहाँको शक्तिको बारेमा विचार गरेनन्, उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई शत्रुहरूबाट कसरी छुटकारा दिनुभएको थियो,
43 how he set his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan,
जब उहाँले मिश्रदेशमा आफ्ना डरलाग्दा चिन्हहरू देखाउनुभयो र सोअनको क्षेत्रमा आफ्ना चमत्कारहरू देखाउनुभयो ।
44 and turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink.
उहाँले मिश्रदेशका नदीहरूलाई रगतमा परिणत गर्नुभयो, ताकि तिनीहरूले आफ्ना नदीहरूका पानी पिउन सकेनन् ।
45 He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them.
उहाँले झींगाका हुल पठाउनुभयो, जसले तिनीहरूलाई टोके र भ्यागुताहरूले तिनीहरूका देशलाई अतिक्रमण गर्यो ।
46 He also gave their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust.
तिनीहरूका अन्न फट्याङ्ग्रहरूलाई र तिनीहरूका परिश्रम सलहहरूलाई उहाँले दिनुभयो ।
47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with frost.
तिनीहरूका दाखहरूलाई असिनाले र तिनीहरूका अञ्जीरका रूखहरूलाई धेरै असिनाले उहाँले नाश पार्नुभयो ।
48 He also gave over their cattle to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
तिनीहरूका बथानमाथि उहाँले असिना बर्साउनुभयो र तिनीहरूका बगालमाथि बिजुली फाल्नुभयो ।
49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, a band of agents of evil.
उहाँको रिसको उग्रता तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा पर्यो । उहाँले क्रोध, रिस र समस्यालाई विपत्ति ल्याउने एजेन्टझैं पठाउनुभयो ।
50 He made a path for his anger. He spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence,
आफ्नो रिसको निम्ति उहाँले मार्ग तयार गर्नुभयो । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई मृत्युबाट बचाउनुभएन तर तिनीहरूलाई रूढीमा सुम्पिनुभयो ।
51 and smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.
मिश्रदेशका सबै जेठाहरूलाई, हामका पालहरूमा भएका तिनीहरूका जेठाहरूलाई उहाँले मार्नुभयो ।
52 But he led forth his own people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई उहाँले भेडालाई झैं डोर्याउनुभयो र बगाललाई झैं तिनीहरूलाई उजाडस्थानमा बाटो देखाउनुभयो ।
53 And he led them safely, so that they feared not, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
सुरक्षित र निर्भयसाथ उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई डोर्याउनुभयो, तर समुद्रले तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूलाई डुबायो ।
54 And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had gotten.
त्यसपछि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नो पवित्र देशको सिमानामा, उहाँको दहिने हातले प्राप्त गरेको यो पर्वतमा ल्याउनुभयो ।
55 He also drove out the nations before them, and allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
तिनीहरूको सामुबाट उहाँले जातिहरूलाई धपाउनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नो उत्तराधिकार दिनुभयो । इस्राएलका कुलहरू उहाँले तिनीहरूका आफ्ना पालहरूमा बसाल्नुभयो ।
56 Yet they challenged and rebelled against the Most High God, and kept not his testimonies,
तापनि तिनीहरूले सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरलाई चुनौति दिए र अवज्ञा गरे, अनि उहाँका गम्भीर आज्ञाहरू पालन गरेनन् ।
57 but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
तिनीहरू अविश्वासयोग्य भए र आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूले झैं धोकापूर्ण काम गरे । तिनीहरू खोटपूर्ण धनुजस्तै भरोसाहीन थिए ।
58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
किनकि तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई आफ्ना अग्ला डाँडाहरूले क्रुद्ध बनाए र आफ्ना मूर्तीहरूले उहाँलाई डाहले रसाउने बनाए ।
59 When God heard, he was angry, and greatly abhorred Israel,
जब परमेश्वरले यो सुन्नुभयो, तब उहाँ रिसाउनुभयो र इस्राएललाई पूर्ण रूपमा इन्कार गर्नुभयो ।
60 so that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men,
शीलोको पवित्रस्थान, उहाँ मानिसहरूका बिचमा बास गर्नुभएको पाललाई उहाँले त्याग्नुभयो ।
61 and delivered their strength into captivity, and their glory into the adversary's hand.
उहाँले आफ्नो सामर्थ्यलाई कसैको कब्जामा सुम्पिदिनुभयो र आफ्नो महिमालाई शत्रुहरूका हातमा सुम्पिनुभयो ।
62 He also gave his people over to the sword, and was angry with his inheritance.
उहाँले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई तरवारमा सुम्पिनुभयो र उहाँ आफ्ना उत्तराधिकारसँग रिसाउनुभयो ।
63 Fire devoured their young men, and their virgins had no marriage-song.
आगोले तिनीहरूका जवान मानिसहरूलाई भष्म पारे, र तिनीहरूका जवान स्त्रीहरूसँग विवाहको गीत थिएन ।
64 Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation.
तिनीहरूका पुजारीहरू तरवारले ढले र तिनीहरूका विधवाहरू रुन सकेनन् ।
65 Then the Lord awoke as out of sleep, like a mighty man who shouts because of wine.
अनि परमप्रभु निद्राबाट जागेझैं, दाखमद्यको कारणले कराउने योद्धाजस्तै उठ्नुभयो ।
66 And he smote his adversaries backward. He put them to a perpetual reproach.
उहाँले आफ्ना वैरीहरूलाई पछि फर्काउनुभयो । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई अनन्त लाजमा पार्नुभयो ।
67 Moreover he refused the tent of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim,
उहाँले योसेफको पाललाई इन्कार गर्नुभयो र उहाँले एफ्राइमको कुललाई चुन्नुभएन ।
68 but chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
उहाँले यहूदाको कुल र उहाँले प्रेम गर्नुभएको सियोन पर्वतलाई चुन्नुभयो ।
69 And he built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he has established forever.
उहाँले आफ्नो पवित्रस्थानलाई स्वर्गझैं, उहाँले सदाको निम्ति स्थापना गर्नुभएको पृथ्वीझैं बनाउनुभयो ।
70 He also chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds.
उहाँले आफ्नो दास दाऊदलाई चुन्नुभयो र तिनलाई भेडाका बगालहरूबाट ल्याउनुभयो ।
71 He brought him from following the ewes that have their young, to be the shepherd of Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
आफ्ना पाठाहरूका साथमा हिंड्ने भेडीहरूका पछि लाग्नबाट उहाँले तिनलाई ल्याउनुभयो, अनि उहाँले तिनलाई याकूब, उहाँका मानिसहरू, र उहाँको उत्तराधिकार इस्राएलको गोठालो तुल्याउनुभयो ।
72 So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.
आफ्नो हृदयको इमानदारीताले दाऊदले उनीहरूको रेखदेख गरे र आफ्नो हातको सीपले तिनले उनीहरूलाई बाटो देखाए ।
