Psalms 78
1 Understanding for Asaph. Attend, 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 propositions from the beginning.
दृष्टान्तमा म आफ्नो मुख खोल्नेछु । विगतका गुप्त कुराको बारेमा म गीत गाउनेछु ।
3 How great things have we heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
हामीले सुनेका र सिकेका कुराहरू, हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले हामीलाई भनेका कुराहरू यिनै हुन् ।
4 They have not been hidden from their children, in another generation. Declaring the praises of the Lord, and his powers, and his wonders which he hath done.
तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरूबाट हामी ती कुरा लुकाउनेछैनौं । परमप्रभुका प्रशंसनीय कामहरू, उहाँको सामर्थ्य र उहाँले गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कामहरूका बारेमा हामी अर्को पुस्तालाई बताउनेछौं ।
5 And he set up a testimony in Jacob: and made a law in Israel. How great things he commanded our fathers, that they should make the same known 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 another generation might know them. The children that should be born and should rise up, and declare them to their 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 may put their hope in God and may not forget the works of God: and may seek his commandments.
तब तिनीहरूले आफ्नो आसा परमेश्वरमा राखून् र उहाँका कामरू नबिर्सून्, तर उहाँका आज्ञाहरू पालन गरून् ।
8 That they may not become like their fathers, a perverse and exasperating generation. A generation that set not their heart aright: and 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 sons of Ephraim who bend and shoot with the bow: they have 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 in his law they would not walk.
तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरसँगको करार पालन गरेनन् र तिनीहरूले उहाँको व्यवस्था पालन गर्न इन्कार गरे ।
11 And they forgot his benefits, and his wonders that he had shewn them.
तिनीहरूले उहाँका कामहरू, उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई प्रकट गर्नुभएको अचम्मका कुराहरूलाई बिर्से ।
12 Wonderful things did he do in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Tanis.
मिश्र देशमा, सोअनको देशमा तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूका दृष्टिमा उहाँले गर्नुभएको चमत्कारिक कुराहरूलाई तिनीहरूले बिर्से ।
13 He divided the sea and brought them through: and he made the waters to stand as in a vessel.
उहाँले समुद्रलाई दुई भाग पार्नुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई त्यसको पारिपट्टि लानुभयो । उहाँले पानीलाई पर्खालहरूझैं खडा गर्नुभयो ।
14 And he conducted them with a cloud by day: and all the night with a light of fire.
दिनको समयमा बादलले र रातभरि आगोको प्रकाशले उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई डोर्याउनुभयो ।
15 He struck the rock in the wilderness: and gave them to drink, as out of the great deep.
उहाँले उजाडस्थानको चट्टा चिर्नुभयो र समुद्रको गहिराइ भर्न प्रशस्त हुने पानी उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभयो ।
16 He brought forth water out of the rock: and made streams run down as rivers.
चट्टानबाट उहाँले खोलाहरू बगाउनुभयो र पानीलाई नदीहरूझैं बगाउनुभयो ।
17 And they added yet more sin against him: they provoked the most High to wrath in the place without water.
तापनि तिनीहरूले उजाड-स्थानमा सर्वोच्चको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गरेर उहाँको विरुद्धमा पाप गरिरहे ।
18 And they tempted God in their hearts, by asking meat for their desires.
आफ्नो भोक मेटाउनलाई खाना मागेर आफ्ना हृदयहरूले तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरलाई चुनौति दिए ।
19 And they spoke ill of God: they said: Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
तिनीहरू परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा बोले । तिनीहरूले भने, “परमेश्वरले हामीलाई उजाड-स्थानमा साँच्चै नै खाना खुवाउन सक्नुहुन्छ र?
20 Because he struck the rock, and the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed. Can he also give bread, or provide a table 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 the Lord heard, and was angry: and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and wrath came 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 believed not in God: and trusted not in his salvation.
किनभने तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरमा विश्वास गरेनन् र उहाँको उद्धारमा भरोसा गरेनन् ।
23 And he had commanded the clouds from above, and had opened the doors of heaven.
तापनि उहाँले माथिका आकाशलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभयो र आकाशका ढोकाहरू खोल्नुभयो ।
24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them the bread of heaven.
तिनीहरूलाई खानलाई उहाँले मन्न बर्साउनुभयो, र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई स्वर्गको अन्न दिनुभयो ।
25 Man ate the bread of angels: he sent them provisions in abundance.
मानिसहरूले स्वर्गदूतहरूका रोटी खाए । तिनीहरूलाई उहाँले प्रशस्त गरी खाना पठाउनुभयो ।
26 He removed the south wind from heaven: and by his power brought in the southwest wind.
उहाँले आकाशमा पूर्वी बतास चलाउनुभयो र दक्षिणी बतासलाई आफ्नो शक्तिले उहाँले डोर्याउनुभयो ।
27 And he rained upon them flesh as dust: and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea.
धूलोझैं उहाँले तिनीहरूमाथि मासु, समुद्रको बालुवाझैं चराहरू बर्साउनुभयो ।
28 And they fell in the midst of their camp, round about their pavilions.
तिनीहरूका शिविरको बिचमा, तिनीहरूका पालहरूको चारैतिर ती झरे ।
29 So they did eat, and were filled exceedingly, and he gave them their desire:
त्यसैले तिनीहरूले खाए र अघाए । तिनीहरूले जे लालसा गरे सो उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभयो ।
30 They were not defrauded of that which they craved. As yet their meat was in their mouth:
तर तिनीहरू अझै अघाएका थिएनन् । तिनीहरूको खाना अझै तिनीहरूको मुखमै थियो ।
31 And the wrath of God came upon them. And he slew the fat ones amongst them, and brought down the chosen men of Israel.
तब परमेश्वरको क्रोध तिनीहरूमाथि पर्यो र तिमध्येका बलियाहरूलाई मार्यो । उहाँले इस्राएलका जवानहरूलाई तल झार्नुभयो ।
32 In all these things they sinned still: and they believed not for his wondrous works.
यति हुँदा पनि, तिनीहरूले निरन्तर पाप गरे र उहाँका अचम्मका कामहरूमा विश्वास गरेनन् ।
33 And their days were consumed in vanity, and their years in haste.
यसकारण परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूका दिनहरू घटाउनुभयो । तिनीहरूका वर्षहरू त्रासले भरिएका थिए ।
34 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned, and came to him early in the morning.
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 helper: and the most high God their redeemer.
परमेश्वर तिनीहरूका चट्टान हुनुहुन्थ्यो र सर्वोच्च तिनीहरूका उद्धारकर्ता हुनुहुन्थ्यो भनी तिनीहरूले सम्झे ।
36 And they loved him with their mouth: and with their tongue they lied unto him:
तर तिनीहरूले आफ्ना मुखले उहाँसँग चापलुसी गरे र तिनीहरूका शब्दहरूले उहाँसँग झुट बोले ।
37 But their heart was not right with him: nor were they counted faithful in his covenant.
किनकि तिनीहरूका हृदयहरू उहाँमा स्थिर थिएनन् र तिनीहरू उहाँको करारप्रति विश्वासयोग्य थिएनन् ।
38 But he is merciful, and will forgive their sins: and will not destroy them. And many a time did he turn away his anger: and did not kindle 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 are flesh: a wind that goeth and returneth not.
तिनीहरू मासुले बनेका हुन्, तिनीहरू बितिजाने र फर्केर नआउने बतास हुन् भनी उहाँले याद गर्नुभयो ।
40 How often did they provoke him in the desert: and move him to wrath in the place without water?
उजाड-स्थानमा र बाँझो ठाउँहरूमा तिनीहरूले कति धेरै पल्ट उहाँको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गरेर उहाँलाई दुःखी बनाए!
41 And they turned back and tempted God: and grieved the holy one of Israel.
तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरलाई धेरै पल्ट चुनौति दिए र इस्राएलका परम पवित्रलाई चित्त दुखाए ।
42 They remembered not his hand, in the day that he redeemed them from the hand of him that afflicted them:
तिनीहरूले उहाँको शक्तिको बारेमा विचार गरेनन्, उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई शत्रुहरूबाट कसरी छुटकारा दिनुभएको थियो,
43 How he wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Tanis.
जब उहाँले मिश्रदेशमा आफ्ना डरलाग्दा चिन्हहरू देखाउनुभयो र सोअनको क्षेत्रमा आफ्ना चमत्कारहरू देखाउनुभयो ।
44 And he turned their rivers into blood, and their showers that they might, not drink.
उहाँले मिश्रदेशका नदीहरूलाई रगतमा परिणत गर्नुभयो, ताकि तिनीहरूले आफ्ना नदीहरूका पानी पिउन सकेनन् ।
45 He sent amongst them divers sores of flies, which devoured them: and frogs which destroyed them.
उहाँले झींगाका हुल पठाउनुभयो, जसले तिनीहरूलाई टोके र भ्यागुताहरूले तिनीहरूका देशलाई अतिक्रमण गर्यो ।
46 And he gave up their fruits to the blast, and their labours to the locust.
तिनीहरूका अन्न फट्याङ्ग्रहरूलाई र तिनीहरूका परिश्रम सलहहरूलाई उहाँले दिनुभयो ।
47 And he destroyed their vineyards with hail, and their mulberry trees with hoarfrost.
तिनीहरूका दाखहरूलाई असिनाले र तिनीहरूका अञ्जीरका रूखहरूलाई धेरै असिनाले उहाँले नाश पार्नुभयो ।
48 And he gave up their cattle to the hail, and their stock to the fire.
तिनीहरूका बथानमाथि उहाँले असिना बर्साउनुभयो र तिनीहरूका बगालमाथि बिजुली फाल्नुभयो ।
49 And he sent upon them the wrath of his indignation: indignation and wrath and trouble, which he sent by evil angels.
उहाँको रिसको उग्रता तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा पर्यो । उहाँले क्रोध, रिस र समस्यालाई विपत्ति ल्याउने एजेन्टझैं पठाउनुभयो ।
50 He made a way for a path to his anger: he spared not their souls from death, and their cattle he shut up in death.
आफ्नो रिसको निम्ति उहाँले मार्ग तयार गर्नुभयो । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई मृत्युबाट बचाउनुभएन तर तिनीहरूलाई रूढीमा सुम्पिनुभयो ।
51 And he killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt: the firstfruits of all their labour in the tabernacles of Cham.
मिश्रदेशका सबै जेठाहरूलाई, हामका पालहरूमा भएका तिनीहरूका जेठाहरूलाई उहाँले मार्नुभयो ।
52 And he took away his own people as 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 brought them out in hope, and they feared not: band the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
सुरक्षित र निर्भयसाथ उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई डोर्याउनुभयो, तर समुद्रले तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूलाई डुबायो ।
54 And he brought them into the mountain of his sanctuary: the mountain which his right hand had purchased. And he cast out the Gentiles before them: and by lot divided to them their land by a line of distribution.
त्यसपछि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नो पवित्र देशको सिमानामा, उहाँको दहिने हातले प्राप्त गरेको यो पर्वतमा ल्याउनुभयो ।
55 And he made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tabernacles.
तिनीहरूको सामुबाट उहाँले जातिहरूलाई धपाउनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नो उत्तराधिकार दिनुभयो । इस्राएलका कुलहरू उहाँले तिनीहरूका आफ्ना पालहरूमा बसाल्नुभयो ।
56 Yet they tempted, and provoked the most high God: and they kept not his testimonies.
तापनि तिनीहरूले सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरलाई चुनौति दिए र अवज्ञा गरे, अनि उहाँका गम्भीर आज्ञाहरू पालन गरेनन् ।
57 And they turned away, and kept not the covenant: even like their fathers they were turned aside as a crooked bow.
तिनीहरू अविश्वासयोग्य भए र आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूले झैं धोकापूर्ण काम गरे । तिनीहरू खोटपूर्ण धनुजस्तै भरोसाहीन थिए ।
58 They provoked him to anger on their hills: and moved him to jealousy with their graven things.
किनकि तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई आफ्ना अग्ला डाँडाहरूले क्रुद्ध बनाए र आफ्ना मूर्तीहरूले उहाँलाई डाहले रसाउने बनाए ।
59 God heard, and despised them, and he reduced Israel exceedingly as it were to nothing.
जब परमेश्वरले यो सुन्नुभयो, तब उहाँ रिसाउनुभयो र इस्राएललाई पूर्ण रूपमा इन्कार गर्नुभयो ।
60 And he put away the tabernacle of Silo, his tabernacle where he dwelt among men.
शीलोको पवित्रस्थान, उहाँ मानिसहरूका बिचमा बास गर्नुभएको पाललाई उहाँले त्याग्नुभयो ।
61 And he delivered their strength into captivity: and their beauty into the hands of the enemy.
उहाँले आफ्नो सामर्थ्यलाई कसैको कब्जामा सुम्पिदिनुभयो र आफ्नो महिमालाई शत्रुहरूका हातमा सुम्पिनुभयो ।
62 And he shut up his people under the sword: and he despised his inheritance.
उहाँले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई तरवारमा सुम्पिनुभयो र उहाँ आफ्ना उत्तराधिकारसँग रिसाउनुभयो ।
63 Fire consumed their young men: and their maidens were not lamented.
आगोले तिनीहरूका जवान मानिसहरूलाई भष्म पारे, र तिनीहरूका जवान स्त्रीहरूसँग विवाहको गीत थिएन ।
64 Their priests fell by the sword: and their widows did not mourn.
तिनीहरूका पुजारीहरू तरवारले ढले र तिनीहरूका विधवाहरू रुन सकेनन् ।
65 And the Lord was awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that hath been surfeited with wine.
अनि परमप्रभु निद्राबाट जागेझैं, दाखमद्यको कारणले कराउने योद्धाजस्तै उठ्नुभयो ।
66 And he smote his enemies on the hinder parts: he put them to an everlasting reproach.
उहाँले आफ्ना वैरीहरूलाई पछि फर्काउनुभयो । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई अनन्त लाजमा पार्नुभयो ।
67 And he rejected the tabernacle of Joseph: and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
उहाँले योसेफको पाललाई इन्कार गर्नुभयो र उहाँले एफ्राइमको कुललाई चुन्नुभएन ।
68 But he chose the tribe of Juda, mount Sion which he loved.
उहाँले यहूदाको कुल र उहाँले प्रेम गर्नुभएको सियोन पर्वतलाई चुन्नुभयो ।
69 And he built his sanctuary as of unicorns, in the land which he founded for ever.
उहाँले आफ्नो पवित्रस्थानलाई स्वर्गझैं, उहाँले सदाको निम्ति स्थापना गर्नुभएको पृथ्वीझैं बनाउनुभयो ।
70 And he chose his servant David, and took him from the hocks of sheep: he brought him from following the ewes great with young,
उहाँले आफ्नो दास दाऊदलाई चुन्नुभयो र तिनलाई भेडाका बगालहरूबाट ल्याउनुभयो ।
71 To feed Jacob his servant, 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 And he fed them in the innocence of his heart: and conducted them by the skillfulness of his hands.
आफ्नो हृदयको इमानदारीताले दाऊदले उनीहरूको रेखदेख गरे र आफ्नो हातको सीपले तिनले उनीहरूलाई बाटो देखाए ।
