Psalms 18
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD, who spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul; And he said: I love thee, O LORD, my strength.
हे परमप्रभु, मेरो बल, म तपाईंलाई प्रेम गर्छु ।
2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in Him I take refuge; my shield, and my horn of 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 Praised, I cry, is the LORD, and I am saved from mine enemies.
म परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गर्छु जो प्रशंसायोग्य हुनुहुन्छ र म आफ्ना शत्रुहरूबाट बाँच्नेछु ।
4 The cords of Death compassed me, and the floods of Belial assailed me.
मृत्युका डोरीहरूले मलाई बाँधे र व्यर्थका छालहरूले मलाई व्याकुल बनाए ।
चिहानका डोरीहरूले मलाई बाँधे । मृत्युको पासोले मलाई समात्यो । (Sheol h7585)
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God; out of His temple He heard my voice, and my cry came before Him unto 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 did shake and quake, the foundations also of the mountains did tremble; they were shaken, because He was wroth.
तब पृथ्वी हल्लियो र काम्यो । पहाडहरूका जगहरू पनि कामे र हल्लिए किनभने परमेश्वर रिसाउनुभयो ।
8 Smoke arose up in His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth did devour; coals flamed forth from Him.
उहाँको नाकका प्वालहरूबाट धूँवा माथि गयो र उहाँको मुखबाट बल्दो आगो निस्केर आयो । यसले कोइलाहरू बाल्यो ।
9 He bowed the heavens also, 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 did fly; yea, He did swoop down 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, there passed through His thick clouds hailstones and coals of fire.
उहाँको सामु बिजुलीबाट असिना र आगोका भुङ्ग्रोहरू झरे ।
13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High gave forth His voice; hailstones and coals of fire.
परमप्रभु स्वर्गबाट गर्जनुभयो । सर्वोच्चको आवाजले कराउनुयो ।
14 And He sent out His arrows, and scattered them; and He shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.
उहाँले आफ्ना वाणहरू प्रहार गर्नुभयो र आफ्ना शत्रुहरूलाई तितरबितर पार्नुभयो । धेरै चट्याङहरूले तिनीहरूलाई तितरबितर पारे ।
15 And the channels of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were laid bare, at Thy rebuke, O LORD, 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 mine enemy most strong, and from them that 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 confronted me in the day of my calamity; but the LORD was a stay unto me.
मेरो कष्टको दिनमा तिनीहरू मेरो विरुद्ध आए तर परमप्रभु नै मेरो सहारा हुनुभयो ।
19 He brought me forth also 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 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He 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 the LORD, 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 And I was single-hearted with Him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
उहाँको सामु म निर्दोष भएको छु र मैले आफूलाई पापबाट अलग राखेको छु ।
24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.
यसकारण मेरो धार्मिकताको कारणले परमप्रभुले मलाई पुनर्स्थापना गर्नुभएको छ, किनभने मेरा हातहरू उहाँको आँखाका समु शुद्ध थिए ।
25 With the merciful Thou dost show Thyself merciful, with the upright man Thou dost show Thyself upright;
कुनै पनि विश्वासीलाई तपाईं आफै विश्वासयोग्य प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ । निर्दोष मानिसलाई तपाईं आफै निर्दोष प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ ।
26 With the pure Thou dost show Thyself pure; and with the crooked Thou dost show Thyself subtle.
कुनै पनि शुद्ध व्यक्तिलाई तपाईं आफै शुद्ध प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ । तर कुनै पनि बाङ्गो व्यक्तिलाई तपाईं आफै चलाख प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ ।
27 For Thou dost save the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes Thou dost humble.
किनकि तपाईंले कष्टमा परेकाहरूलाई बचाउनुहुन्छ तर घमण्डी, अहङ्कारी आँखालाई तपाईंले तल झार्नुहुन्छ ।
28 For Thou dost light my lamp; the LORD my God doth 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 do I scale 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 the LORD is tried; He is a shield unto all them that 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, save the LORD? And who is a Rock, except our God?
किनकि परमप्रभुबाहेक को परमेश्वर छ र? हाम्रा परमेश्वरबाहेक को चट्टान छ र?
32 The God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way straight;
कम्मर पेटीझैं परमेश्वरले नै मलाई बल दिनुहुन्छ, जसले निर्दोष व्यक्तिलाई आफ्नो मार्गमा राख्नुहुन्छ ।
33 Who maketh my feet like hinds', and setteth me upon my high places;
उहाँले मेरा खुट्टाहरूलाई हरिणको जस्तै तेज बनाउनुहुन्छ र मलाई उच्च ठाउँहरूमा राख्नुहुन्छ ।
34 Who traineth my hands for war, so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
युद्धको निम्ति उहाँले मेरा हातहरूलाई तालिम दिनुहुन्छ र मेरा पाखुराहरूले काँसाको धनु झुकाउँछन् ।
35 Thou hast also given me Thy shield of salvation, and Thy right hand hath holden me up; and Thy condescension hath 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 hast 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 have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them; neither did I turn back till they were consumed.
मैले आफ्ना शत्रुहरूलाई खेदें र तिनीहरूलाई समातें । तिनीहरू नाश नभएसम्म म फर्किनँ ।
38 I have smitten them through, so that they are not able to rise; they are fallen under my feet.
मैले तिनीहरूलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारें ताकि तिनीहरू उठ्न सकेनन् । तिनीहरू मेरा खुट्टाहरूमुनि ढलेका छन् ।
39 For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
किनकि युद्धको निम्ति कम्मर पेटीझैं तपाईंले मलाई बल दिनुभयो । मेरो विरुद्ध उठ्नेहरूलाई तपाईंले मेरो अधीनमा पार्नुभयो ।
40 Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, and I did cut off them that hate me.
मेरा शत्रुहरूका गर्दन तपाईंले मलाई दिनुभयो । मलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूलाई मैले निर्मूल पारें ।
41 They cried, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, 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 did I beat them small as the dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
हावाको सामु धूलोझैं मैले तिनीहरूलाई चकनाचूर पारें । गल्लीमा हिलोझैं मैले तिनीहरूलाई फालें ।
43 Thou hast delivered me from the contentions of the people; Thou hast made me the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known 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 obey me; the sons of the stranger dwindle away before me.
तिनीहरूले मेरा कुरा सुन्ने बित्तिकै, तिनीहरूले मेरा आज्ञा पालन गरे । विदेशीहरू मेरो सामु झुक्न बाध्य भए ।
45 The sons of the stranger fade away, and come trembling out of their close places.
विदेशीहरू आफ्ना किल्लाहरूबाट थरथर कम्दै बाहिर आए ।
46 The LORD liveth, 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 that executeth vengeance for me, and subdueth peoples under me.
मेरो निम्ति बदला लिनुहुने परमेश्वर उहाँ नै हुनुहुन्छ, जसले जातिहरूलाई मेरो वशमा पार्नुहुन्छ ।
48 He delivereth me from mine enemies; yea, Thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest 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 unto Thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto Thy name.
यसकारण, हे परमप्रभु, म तपाईंलाई जातिहरूको माझमा धन्यवाद दिनेछु । तपाईंको नाउँमा प्रशंसा म गाउनेछु ।
50 Great salvation giveth He to His king; and showeth mercy 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 ।
