Psalms 78
1 A Maskil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my instruction; listen 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 things hidden from the beginning,
दृष्टान्तमा म आफ्नो मुख खोल्नेछु । विगतका गुप्त कुराको बारेमा म गीत गाउनेछु ।
3 that we have heard and known and our fathers have relayed to us.
हामीले सुनेका र सिकेका कुराहरू, हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले हामीलाई भनेका कुराहरू यिनै हुन् ।
4 We will not hide them from their children, but will declare to the next generation the praises of the LORD and His might, and the wonders He has performed.
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 to teach to their children,
किनकि उहाँले याकूबमा करारका नियमहरू स्थापित गर्नुभयो र इस्राएलमा व्यवस्था दिनुभयो । उहाँले हाम्रा पूर्खाहरूलाई ती आफ्ना सन्तानहरूलाई सिकाउने आज्ञा दिनुभयो ।
6 that the coming generation would know them— even children yet to be born— to arise and tell their own children
उहाँले यस्तो आज्ञा दिनुभयो, ताकि अझै नजन्मेका छोराछोरी, अर्थात् आउने पुस्ताले उहाँका आदेशहरू जानोस्, जसले पछि तिनीहरूका आफ्नै सन्ताहरूलाई ती भन्नुपर्छ ।
7 that they should put their confidence in God, not forgetting His works, but keeping His commandments.
तब तिनीहरूले आफ्नो आसा परमेश्वरमा राखून् र उहाँका कामरू नबिर्सून्, तर उहाँका आज्ञाहरू पालन गरून् ।
8 Then they will not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose heart was not loyal, whose spirit was not faithful to 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 archers of Ephraim turned back on the day of battle.
एफ्राइमीहरू धनुले सुसज्जित थिए, तर तिनीहरू युद्धको दिनमा पछि फर्के ।
10 They failed to keep God’s covenant and refused to live by His law.
तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरसँगको करार पालन गरेनन् र तिनीहरूले उहाँको व्यवस्था पालन गर्न इन्कार गरे ।
11 They forgot what He had done, the wonders He had shown them.
तिनीहरूले उहाँका कामहरू, उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई प्रकट गर्नुभएको अचम्मका कुराहरूलाई बिर्से ।
12 He worked wonders before their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan.
मिश्र देशमा, सोअनको देशमा तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूका दृष्टिमा उहाँले गर्नुभएको चमत्कारिक कुराहरूलाई तिनीहरूले बिर्से ।
13 He split the sea and brought them through; He set the waters upright like a wall.
उहाँले समुद्रलाई दुई भाग पार्नुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई त्यसको पारिपट्टि लानुभयो । उहाँले पानीलाई पर्खालहरूझैं खडा गर्नुभयो ।
14 He led them with a cloud by day and with a light of fire all night.
दिनको समयमा बादलले र रातभरि आगोको प्रकाशले उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई डोर्याउनुभयो ।
15 He split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink as abundant as the seas.
उहाँले उजाडस्थानको चट्टा चिर्नुभयो र समुद्रको गहिराइ भर्न प्रशस्त हुने पानी उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभयो ।
16 He brought streams from the stone and made water flow down like rivers.
चट्टानबाट उहाँले खोलाहरू बगाउनुभयो र पानीलाई नदीहरूझैं बगाउनुभयो ।
17 But they continued to sin against Him, rebelling in the desert against the Most High.
तापनि तिनीहरूले उजाड-स्थानमा सर्वोच्चको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गरेर उहाँको विरुद्धमा पाप गरिरहे ।
18 They willfully tested God by demanding the food they craved.
आफ्नो भोक मेटाउनलाई खाना मागेर आफ्ना हृदयहरूले तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरलाई चुनौति दिए ।
19 They spoke against God, saying, “Can God really prepare a table in the wilderness?
तिनीहरू परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा बोले । तिनीहरूले भने, “परमेश्वरले हामीलाई उजाड-स्थानमा साँच्चै नै खाना खुवाउन सक्नुहुन्छ र?
20 When He struck the rock, water gushed out and torrents raged. But can He also give bread or supply His people with meat?”
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 the LORD heard and was filled with wrath; so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and His anger flared 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 God or rely on His salvation.
किनभने तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरमा विश्वास गरेनन् र उहाँको उद्धारमा भरोसा गरेनन् ।
23 Yet He commanded the clouds above and opened the doors of the heavens.
तापनि उहाँले माथिका आकाशलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभयो र आकाशका ढोकाहरू खोल्नुभयो ।
24 He rained down manna for them to eat; He gave them grain from heaven.
तिनीहरूलाई खानलाई उहाँले मन्न बर्साउनुभयो, र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई स्वर्गको अन्न दिनुभयो ।
25 Man ate the bread of angels; He sent them food in abundance.
मानिसहरूले स्वर्गदूतहरूका रोटी खाए । तिनीहरूलाई उहाँले प्रशस्त गरी खाना पठाउनुभयो ।
26 He stirred the east wind from the heavens and drove the south wind by His might.
उहाँले आकाशमा पूर्वी बतास चलाउनुभयो र दक्षिणी बतासलाई आफ्नो शक्तिले उहाँले डोर्याउनुभयो ।
27 He rained meat on them like dust, and winged birds like the sand of the sea.
धूलोझैं उहाँले तिनीहरूमाथि मासु, समुद्रको बालुवाझैं चराहरू बर्साउनुभयो ।
28 He felled them in the midst of their camp, all around their dwellings.
तिनीहरूका शिविरको बिचमा, तिनीहरूका पालहरूको चारैतिर ती झरे ।
29 So they ate and were well filled, for He gave them what they craved.
त्यसैले तिनीहरूले खाए र अघाए । तिनीहरूले जे लालसा गरे सो उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभयो ।
30 Yet before they had filled their desire, with the food still in their mouths,
तर तिनीहरू अझै अघाएका थिएनन् । तिनीहरूको खाना अझै तिनीहरूको मुखमै थियो ।
31 God’s anger flared against them, and He put to death their strongest and subdued the young men of Israel.
तब परमेश्वरको क्रोध तिनीहरूमाथि पर्यो र तिमध्येका बलियाहरूलाई मार्यो । उहाँले इस्राएलका जवानहरूलाई तल झार्नुभयो ।
32 In spite of all this, they kept on sinning; despite His wonderful works, they did not believe.
यति हुँदा पनि, तिनीहरूले निरन्तर पाप गरे र उहाँका अचम्मका कामहरूमा विश्वास गरेनन् ।
33 So He ended their days in futility, and their years in sudden terror.
यसकारण परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूका दिनहरू घटाउनुभयो । तिनीहरूका वर्षहरू त्रासले भरिएका थिए ।
34 When He slew them, they would seek Him; they repented and searched for God.
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, that God Most High was their Redeemer.
परमेश्वर तिनीहरूका चट्टान हुनुहुन्थ्यो र सर्वोच्च तिनीहरूका उद्धारकर्ता हुनुहुन्थ्यो भनी तिनीहरूले सम्झे ।
36 But they deceived Him with their mouths, and lied to Him with their tongues.
तर तिनीहरूले आफ्ना मुखले उहाँसँग चापलुसी गरे र तिनीहरूका शब्दहरूले उहाँसँग झुट बोले ।
37 Their hearts were disloyal to Him, and they were unfaithful to His covenant.
किनकि तिनीहरूका हृदयहरू उहाँमा स्थिर थिएनन् र तिनीहरू उहाँको करारप्रति विश्वासयोग्य थिएनन् ।
38 And yet He was compassionate; He forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them. He often restrained His anger and did not unleash His full 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 He remembered that they were but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return.
तिनीहरू मासुले बनेका हुन्, तिनीहरू बितिजाने र फर्केर नआउने बतास हुन् भनी उहाँले याद गर्नुभयो ।
40 How often they disobeyed 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 Again and again they tested 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 power — the day He redeemed them from the adversary,
तिनीहरूले उहाँको शक्तिको बारेमा विचार गरेनन्, उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई शत्रुहरूबाट कसरी छुटकारा दिनुभएको थियो,
43 when He performed His signs in Egypt and His wonders in the fields of Zoan.
जब उहाँले मिश्रदेशमा आफ्ना डरलाग्दा चिन्हहरू देखाउनुभयो र सोअनको क्षेत्रमा आफ्ना चमत्कारहरू देखाउनुभयो ।
44 He turned their rivers to blood, and from their streams they could not drink.
उहाँले मिश्रदेशका नदीहरूलाई रगतमा परिणत गर्नुभयो, ताकि तिनीहरूले आफ्ना नदीहरूका पानी पिउन सकेनन् ।
45 He sent swarms of flies that devoured them, and frogs that devastated them.
उहाँले झींगाका हुल पठाउनुभयो, जसले तिनीहरूलाई टोके र भ्यागुताहरूले तिनीहरूका देशलाई अतिक्रमण गर्यो ।
46 He gave their crops to the grasshopper, the fruit of their labor to the locust.
तिनीहरूका अन्न फट्याङ्ग्रहरूलाई र तिनीहरूका परिश्रम सलहहरूलाई उहाँले दिनुभयो ।
47 He killed their vines with hailstones and their sycamore-figs with sleet.
तिनीहरूका दाखहरूलाई असिनाले र तिनीहरूका अञ्जीरका रूखहरूलाई धेरै असिनाले उहाँले नाश पार्नुभयो ।
48 He abandoned their cattle to the hail and their livestock to bolts of lightning.
तिनीहरूका बथानमाथि उहाँले असिना बर्साउनुभयो र तिनीहरूका बगालमाथि बिजुली फाल्नुभयो ।
49 He unleashed His fury against them, wrath, indignation, and calamity— a band of destroying angels.
उहाँको रिसको उग्रता तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा पर्यो । उहाँले क्रोध, रिस र समस्यालाई विपत्ति ल्याउने एजेन्टझैं पठाउनुभयो ।
50 He cleared a path for His anger; He did not spare them from death but delivered their lives to the plague.
आफ्नो रिसको निम्ति उहाँले मार्ग तयार गर्नुभयो । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई मृत्युबाट बचाउनुभएन तर तिनीहरूलाई रूढीमा सुम्पिनुभयो ।
51 He struck all the firstborn of Egypt, the virility in the tents of Ham.
मिश्रदेशका सबै जेठाहरूलाई, हामका पालहरूमा भएका तिनीहरूका जेठाहरूलाई उहाँले मार्नुभयो ।
52 He led out His people like sheep and guided them like a flock in the wilderness.
आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई उहाँले भेडालाई झैं डोर्याउनुभयो र बगाललाई झैं तिनीहरूलाई उजाडस्थानमा बाटो देखाउनुभयो ।
53 He led them safely, so they did not fear, but the sea engulfed their enemies.
सुरक्षित र निर्भयसाथ उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई डोर्याउनुभयो, तर समुद्रले तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूलाई डुबायो ।
54 He brought them to His holy land, to the mountain His right hand had acquired.
त्यसपछि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नो पवित्र देशको सिमानामा, उहाँको दहिने हातले प्राप्त गरेको यो पर्वतमा ल्याउनुभयो ।
55 He drove out nations before them and apportioned their inheritance; He settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.
तिनीहरूको सामुबाट उहाँले जातिहरूलाई धपाउनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नो उत्तराधिकार दिनुभयो । इस्राएलका कुलहरू उहाँले तिनीहरूका आफ्ना पालहरूमा बसाल्नुभयो ।
56 But they tested and disobeyed God Most High, for they did not keep His decrees.
तापनि तिनीहरूले सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरलाई चुनौति दिए र अवज्ञा गरे, अनि उहाँका गम्भीर आज्ञाहरू पालन गरेनन् ।
57 They turned back and were faithless like their fathers, twisted like a faulty bow.
तिनीहरू अविश्वासयोग्य भए र आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूले झैं धोकापूर्ण काम गरे । तिनीहरू खोटपूर्ण धनुजस्तै भरोसाहीन थिए ।
58 They enraged Him with their high places and provoked His jealousy with their idols.
किनकि तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई आफ्ना अग्ला डाँडाहरूले क्रुद्ध बनाए र आफ्ना मूर्तीहरूले उहाँलाई डाहले रसाउने बनाए ।
59 On hearing it, God was furious and rejected Israel completely.
जब परमेश्वरले यो सुन्नुभयो, तब उहाँ रिसाउनुभयो र इस्राएललाई पूर्ण रूपमा इन्कार गर्नुभयो ।
60 He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent He had pitched among men.
शीलोको पवित्रस्थान, उहाँ मानिसहरूका बिचमा बास गर्नुभएको पाललाई उहाँले त्याग्नुभयो ।
61 He delivered His strength to captivity, and His splendor to the hand of the adversary.
उहाँले आफ्नो सामर्थ्यलाई कसैको कब्जामा सुम्पिदिनुभयो र आफ्नो महिमालाई शत्रुहरूका हातमा सुम्पिनुभयो ।
62 He surrendered His people to the sword because He was enraged by His heritage.
उहाँले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई तरवारमा सुम्पिनुभयो र उहाँ आफ्ना उत्तराधिकारसँग रिसाउनुभयो ।
63 Fire consumed His young men, and their maidens were left without wedding songs.
आगोले तिनीहरूका जवान मानिसहरूलाई भष्म पारे, र तिनीहरूका जवान स्त्रीहरूसँग विवाहको गीत थिएन ।
64 His priests fell by the sword, but their widows could not lament.
तिनीहरूका पुजारीहरू तरवारले ढले र तिनीहरूका विधवाहरू रुन सकेनन् ।
65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, like a mighty warrior overcome by wine.
अनि परमप्रभु निद्राबाट जागेझैं, दाखमद्यको कारणले कराउने योद्धाजस्तै उठ्नुभयो ।
66 He beat back His foes; He put them to everlasting shame.
उहाँले आफ्ना वैरीहरूलाई पछि फर्काउनुभयो । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई अनन्त लाजमा पार्नुभयो ।
67 He rejected the tent of Joseph and refused the tribe of Ephraim.
उहाँले योसेफको पाललाई इन्कार गर्नुभयो र उहाँले एफ्राइमको कुललाई चुन्नुभएन ।
68 But He chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which He loved.
उहाँले यहूदाको कुल र उहाँले प्रेम गर्नुभएको सियोन पर्वतलाई चुन्नुभयो ।
69 He built His sanctuary like the heights, like the earth He has established forever.
उहाँले आफ्नो पवित्रस्थानलाई स्वर्गझैं, उहाँले सदाको निम्ति स्थापना गर्नुभएको पृथ्वीझैं बनाउनुभयो ।
70 He chose David His servant and took him from the sheepfolds;
उहाँले आफ्नो दास दाऊदलाई चुन्नुभयो र तिनलाई भेडाका बगालहरूबाट ल्याउनुभयो ।
71 from tending the ewes He brought him to be shepherd of His people Jacob, of 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 David shepherded them with integrity of heart and guided them with skillful hands.
आफ्नो हृदयको इमानदारीताले दाऊदले उनीहरूको रेखदेख गरे र आफ्नो हातको सीपले तिनले उनीहरूलाई बाटो देखाए ।
