Psalms 78
1 A psalm (maskil) of Asaph. Listen to what I have to teach you, my people; hear what I have to say.
हे मेरा मानिसहरू, मेरो शिक्षा सुन । मेरा मुखका वचनहरू सुन ।
2 I will tell you wise sayings; I will explain mysteries from the past
दृष्टान्तमा म आफ्नो मुख खोल्नेछु । विगतका गुप्त कुराको बारेमा म गीत गाउनेछु ।
3 that we have heard before and reflected on; stories our forefathers passed down to us.
हामीले सुनेका र सिकेका कुराहरू, हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले हामीलाई भनेका कुराहरू यिनै हुन् ।
4 We will not keep them from our children; we will tell the next generation about God's marvelous actions—about his power and the amazing things 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 He gave his laws to the descendants of Jacob; his instructions to the people of Israel. He commanded our forefathers to teach them to their children,
किनकि उहाँले याकूबमा करारका नियमहरू स्थापित गर्नुभयो र इस्राएलमा व्यवस्था दिनुभयो । उहाँले हाम्रा पूर्खाहरूलाई ती आफ्ना सन्तानहरूलाई सिकाउने आज्ञा दिनुभयो ।
6 so that the next generation—children yet to be born—would understand and grow up to teach their children.
उहाँले यस्तो आज्ञा दिनुभयो, ताकि अझै नजन्मेका छोराछोरी, अर्थात् आउने पुस्ताले उहाँका आदेशहरू जानोस्, जसले पछि तिनीहरूका आफ्नै सन्ताहरूलाई ती भन्नुपर्छ ।
7 In this way they should place their trust in God and not forget what God has done, and keep his commandments.
तब तिनीहरूले आफ्नो आसा परमेश्वरमा राखून् र उहाँका कामरू नबिर्सून्, तर उहाँका आज्ञाहरू पालन गरून् ।
8 Then they would not be like their forefathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation that was untrustworthy and unfaithful.
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 soldiers of Ephraim, though armed with bows, ran away on the day of battle.
एफ्राइमीहरू धनुले सुसज्जित थिए, तर तिनीहरू युद्धको दिनमा पछि फर्के ।
10 They did not keep God's agreement, and refused to follow his laws.
तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरसँगको करार पालन गरेनन् र तिनीहरूले उहाँको व्यवस्था पालन गर्न इन्कार गरे ।
11 They ignored what he had done, and the amazing things he had shown them—
तिनीहरूले उहाँका कामहरू, उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई प्रकट गर्नुभएको अचम्मका कुराहरूलाई बिर्से ।
12 the miracles he had performed for their forefathers near Zoan in Egypt.
मिश्र देशमा, सोअनको देशमा तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूका दृष्टिमा उहाँले गर्नुभएको चमत्कारिक कुराहरूलाई तिनीहरूले बिर्से ।
13 He split the sea in two and led them through, making the water stand like walls on either side.
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 by night with a light of fire.
दिनको समयमा बादलले र रातभरि आगोको प्रकाशले उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई डोर्याउनुभयो ।
15 He split open rocks in the desert to give his people plenty to drink, water as deep as the ocean.
उहाँले उजाडस्थानको चट्टा चिर्नुभयो र समुद्रको गहिराइ भर्न प्रशस्त हुने पानी उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभयो ।
16 He made streams flow from the stone; water rushing down like rivers!
चट्टानबाट उहाँले खोलाहरू बगाउनुभयो र पानीलाई नदीहरूझैं बगाउनुभयो ।
17 But they repeatedly sinned against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert.
तापनि तिनीहरूले उजाड-स्थानमा सर्वोच्चको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गरेर उहाँको विरुद्धमा पाप गरिरहे ।
18 They deliberately provoked God by demanding the foods they longed for.
आफ्नो भोक मेटाउनलाई खाना मागेर आफ्ना हृदयहरूले तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरलाई चुनौति दिए ।
19 They insulted God by saying, “Can God provide food here in the desert?
तिनीहरू परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा बोले । तिनीहरूले भने, “परमेश्वरले हामीलाई उजाड-स्थानमा साँच्चै नै खाना खुवाउन सक्नुहुन्छ र?
20 Yes, he can strike a rock so that water gushes out like flowing rivers, but can he give us bread? Can he 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 When he heard this, the Lord became very angry, burning like fire against the descendants of Jacob, furious with the people of Israel,
जब परमप्रभुले यो सुन्नुभयो, तब उहाँ रिसाउनुभयो । त्यसैले उहाँको आगो याकूबको विरुद्ध दन्क्यो र उहाँको रिसले इस्राएललाई आक्रमण गर्यो,
22 for they didn't believe in God and didn't trust him to take care of them.
किनभने तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरमा विश्वास गरेनन् र उहाँको उद्धारमा भरोसा गरेनन् ।
23 Even so he commanded the skies above and the doors of heaven to open,
तापनि उहाँले माथिका आकाशलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभयो र आकाशका ढोकाहरू खोल्नुभयो ।
24 and he made manna rain down on them to eat, giving them bread from heaven.
तिनीहरूलाई खानलाई उहाँले मन्न बर्साउनुभयो, र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई स्वर्गको अन्न दिनुभयो ।
25 Human beings ate the bread of angels; he sent them more than enough food.
मानिसहरूले स्वर्गदूतहरूका रोटी खाए । तिनीहरूलाई उहाँले प्रशस्त गरी खाना पठाउनुभयो ।
26 He sent the east wind blowing across the sky; by his power he drove the south wind.
उहाँले आकाशमा पूर्वी बतास चलाउनुभयो र दक्षिणी बतासलाई आफ्नो शक्तिले उहाँले डोर्याउनुभयो ।
27 He rained down meat on them as plentiful as dust; birds as numerous as sand on a beach.
धूलोझैं उहाँले तिनीहरूमाथि मासु, समुद्रको बालुवाझैं चराहरू बर्साउनुभयो ।
28 He made them fall right in the middle of their camp, all around where they were living.
तिनीहरूका शिविरको बिचमा, तिनीहरूका पालहरूको चारैतिर ती झरे ।
29 They ate until they were full. He gave them the food they longed for.
त्यसैले तिनीहरूले खाए र अघाए । तिनीहरूले जे लालसा गरे सो उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभयो ।
30 But before they satisfied their appetite, while the meat was still in their mouths,
तर तिनीहरू अझै अघाएका थिएनन् । तिनीहरूको खाना अझै तिनीहरूको मुखमै थियो ।
31 God became angry with them and he killed their strongest men, striking them down in the prime of life.
तब परमेश्वरको क्रोध तिनीहरूमाथि पर्यो र तिमध्येका बलियाहरूलाई मार्यो । उहाँले इस्राएलका जवानहरूलाई तल झार्नुभयो ।
32 Despite all this they went right on sinning. Despite the miracles, they refused to trust him.
यति हुँदा पनि, तिनीहरूले निरन्तर पाप गरे र उहाँका अचम्मका कामहरूमा विश्वास गरेनन् ।
33 So he snuffed out their futile lives, bringing them to an end in terror.
यसकारण परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूका दिनहरू घटाउनुभयो । तिनीहरूका वर्षहरू त्रासले भरिएका थिए ।
34 When he began killing them, the rest came back to God in repentance, praying to him.
जब परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूमाथि विपत्ति ल्याउनुभयो, तब तिनीहरूले उहाँको खोजी गर्न थाले, अनि तिनीहरू फर्के र उहाँलाई उत्सुकतासाथ खोजे ।
35 They remembered that God was their rock, that God Most High was their Savior.
परमेश्वर तिनीहरूका चट्टान हुनुहुन्थ्यो र सर्वोच्च तिनीहरूका उद्धारकर्ता हुनुहुन्थ्यो भनी तिनीहरूले सम्झे ।
36 They flattered him by what they told him, but they were only lying.
तर तिनीहरूले आफ्ना मुखले उहाँसँग चापलुसी गरे र तिनीहरूका शब्दहरूले उहाँसँग झुट बोले ।
37 Deep down they were not sincere, and did not keep the agreement they had with him.
किनकि तिनीहरूका हृदयहरू उहाँमा स्थिर थिएनन् र तिनीहरू उहाँको करारप्रति विश्वासयोग्य थिएनन् ।
38 But being compassionate he pardoned their guilt and did not destroy all of them. He often held back his anger—he did not pour out all his fury.
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 their mortality—that they were like a puff of wind that would not return.
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, giving him grief in the desert!
उजाड-स्थानमा र बाँझो ठाउँहरूमा तिनीहरूले कति धेरै पल्ट उहाँको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गरेर उहाँलाई दुःखी बनाए!
41 Again and again they provoked God, causing pain to the Holy One of Israel.
तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरलाई धेरै पल्ट चुनौति दिए र इस्राएलका परम पवित्रलाई चित्त दुखाए ।
42 They did not remember his strength when he rescued them from their oppressors,
तिनीहरूले उहाँको शक्तिको बारेमा विचार गरेनन्, उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई शत्रुहरूबाट कसरी छुटकारा दिनुभएको थियो,
43 performing miracles in Egypt, doing wonderful things on the plain of Zoan.
जब उहाँले मिश्रदेशमा आफ्ना डरलाग्दा चिन्हहरू देखाउनुभयो र सोअनको क्षेत्रमा आफ्ना चमत्कारहरू देखाउनुभयो ।
44 There he turned their rivers and their streams into blood so that no one could drink from them.
उहाँले मिश्रदेशका नदीहरूलाई रगतमा परिणत गर्नुभयो, ताकि तिनीहरूले आफ्ना नदीहरूका पानी पिउन सकेनन् ।
45 He sent flies among them to destroy them, and frogs to ruin everything.
उहाँले झींगाका हुल पठाउनुभयो, जसले तिनीहरूलाई टोके र भ्यागुताहरूले तिनीहरूका देशलाई अतिक्रमण गर्यो ।
46 He gave their crops to locusts; everything they worked had for was taken by locusts.
तिनीहरूका अन्न फट्याङ्ग्रहरूलाई र तिनीहरूका परिश्रम सलहहरूलाई उहाँले दिनुभयो ।
47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their fig trees with freezing rain.
तिनीहरूका दाखहरूलाई असिनाले र तिनीहरूका अञ्जीरका रूखहरूलाई धेरै असिनाले उहाँले नाश पार्नुभयो ।
48 He handed over their cattle to hail and their flocks to lightning bolts.
तिनीहरूका बथानमाथि उहाँले असिना बर्साउनुभयो र तिनीहरूका बगालमाथि बिजुली फाल्नुभयो ।
49 He poured out on them his fierce anger—rage and hostility and anguish—sending a band of destroying angels against them.
उहाँको रिसको उग्रता तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा पर्यो । उहाँले क्रोध, रिस र समस्यालाई विपत्ति ल्याउने एजेन्टझैं पठाउनुभयो ।
50 He sent his unrestrained anger against them; he did not spare them from death, handing them over to the plague.
आफ्नो रिसको निम्ति उहाँले मार्ग तयार गर्नुभयो । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई मृत्युबाट बचाउनुभएन तर तिनीहरूलाई रूढीमा सुम्पिनुभयो ।
51 He struck down all the firstborn of Egypt, the first to be conceived in the tents of Ham.
मिश्रदेशका सबै जेठाहरूलाई, हामका पालहरूमा भएका तिनीहरूका जेठाहरूलाई उहाँले मार्नुभयो ।
52 But 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 to safety, and they were not afraid. He drowned their enemies in the sea.
सुरक्षित र निर्भयसाथ उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई डोर्याउनुभयो, तर समुद्रले तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूलाई डुबायो ।
54 He brought them to the border of his holy land, to this mountainous land that he had conquered for them.
त्यसपछि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नो पवित्र देशको सिमानामा, उहाँको दहिने हातले प्राप्त गरेको यो पर्वतमा ल्याउनुभयो ।
55 He drove out the heathen nations before them. He divided up the land for them to own. 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 provoked God Most High, rebelling against him. They did not follow what he had told them.
तापनि तिनीहरूले सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरलाई चुनौति दिए र अवज्ञा गरे, अनि उहाँका गम्भीर आज्ञाहरू पालन गरेनन् ।
57 Just like their forefathers they turned away from God and were unfaithful to him, as twisted as a defective bow.
तिनीहरू अविश्वासयोग्य भए र आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूले झैं धोकापूर्ण काम गरे । तिनीहरू खोटपूर्ण धनुजस्तै भरोसाहीन थिए ।
58 They made him angry with their pagan high places of worship; they made him jealous with their idols.
किनकि तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई आफ्ना अग्ला डाँडाहरूले क्रुद्ध बनाए र आफ्ना मूर्तीहरूले उहाँलाई डाहले रसाउने बनाए ।
59 When God heard their worship he became furious and he totally rejected Israel.
जब परमेश्वरले यो सुन्नुभयो, तब उहाँ रिसाउनुभयो र इस्राएललाई पूर्ण रूपमा इन्कार गर्नुभयो ।
60 He abandoned his place at Shiloh, the Tabernacle where he lived among the people.
शीलोको पवित्रस्थान, उहाँ मानिसहरूका बिचमा बास गर्नुभएको पाललाई उहाँले त्याग्नुभयो ।
61 He surrendered the Ark of his power, allowing it to be captured; handing it over into enemy hands.
उहाँले आफ्नो सामर्थ्यलाई कसैको कब्जामा सुम्पिदिनुभयो र आफ्नो महिमालाई शत्रुहरूका हातमा सुम्पिनुभयो ।
62 He handed over his people to be slaughtered by the sword; he was furious with his chosen people.
उहाँले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई तरवारमा सुम्पिनुभयो र उहाँ आफ्ना उत्तराधिकारसँग रिसाउनुभयो ।
63 Their young men were destroyed by fire; their young women had no wedding songs.
आगोले तिनीहरूका जवान मानिसहरूलाई भष्म पारे, र तिनीहरूका जवान स्त्रीहरूसँग विवाहको गीत थिएन ।
64 Their priests were killed by the sword; their widows were unable to mourn.
तिनीहरूका पुजारीहरू तरवारले ढले र तिनीहरूका विधवाहरू रुन सकेनन् ।
65 Then the Lord woke up as if from sleep, as a warrior sobering up from drinking wine.
अनि परमप्रभु निद्राबाट जागेझैं, दाखमद्यको कारणले कराउने योद्धाजस्तै उठ्नुभयो ।
66 He defeated his enemies, striking them on the back, causing them everlasting shame.
उहाँले आफ्ना वैरीहरूलाई पछि फर्काउनुभयो । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई अनन्त लाजमा पार्नुभयो ।
67 He rejected the descendants of Joseph, and did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.
उहाँले योसेफको पाललाई इन्कार गर्नुभयो र उहाँले एफ्राइमको कुललाई चुन्नुभएन ।
68 Instead he chose the tribe of Judah, and Mount Zion which he loves.
उहाँले यहूदाको कुल र उहाँले प्रेम गर्नुभएको सियोन पर्वतलाई चुन्नुभयो ।
69 There he built his sanctuary, high like the heavens, on earth that he made to last forever.
उहाँले आफ्नो पवित्रस्थानलाई स्वर्गझैं, उहाँले सदाको निम्ति स्थापना गर्नुभएको पृथ्वीझैं बनाउनुभयो ।
70 He chose his servant David, taking him from the sheep pens,
उहाँले आफ्नो दास दाऊदलाई चुन्नुभयो र तिनलाई भेडाका बगालहरूबाट ल्याउनुभयो ।
71 taking him from caring for the sheep and lambs to be a shepherd to the descendants of Jacob—God's special people, Israel.
आफ्ना पाठाहरूका साथमा हिंड्ने भेडीहरूका पछि लाग्नबाट उहाँले तिनलाई ल्याउनुभयो, अनि उहाँले तिनलाई याकूब, उहाँका मानिसहरू, र उहाँको उत्तराधिकार इस्राएलको गोठालो तुल्याउनुभयो ।
72 Like a shepherd, he took care of them with sincere devotion, leading them with skillful hands.
आफ्नो हृदयको इमानदारीताले दाऊदले उनीहरूको रेखदेख गरे र आफ्नो हातको सीपले तिनले उनीहरूलाई बाटो देखाए ।
