Psalms 78
1 AN INSTRUCTION OF ASAPH. Give ear, O my people, to my law, Incline your ear to sayings of my mouth.
हे मेरा मानिसहरू, मेरो शिक्षा सुन । मेरा मुखका वचनहरू सुन ।
2 I open my mouth with an allegory, I bring forth hidden things of old,
दृष्टान्तमा म आफ्नो मुख खोल्नेछु । विगतका गुप्त कुराको बारेमा म गीत गाउनेछु ।
3 That we have heard and know, And our fathers have recounted to us.
हामीले सुनेका र सिकेका कुराहरू, हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले हामीलाई भनेका कुराहरू यिनै हुन् ।
4 We do not hide from their sons, Recounting praises of YHWH to a later generation, And His strength, and His wonders 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 And He raises up a testimony in Jacob, And has placed a law in Israel, That He commanded our fathers, To 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 So that a later generation knows, Sons who are born, rise and recount 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 And place their confidence in God, And do not forget the doings of God, But keep His commands.
तब तिनीहरूले आफ्नो आसा परमेश्वरमा राखून् र उहाँका कामरू नबिर्सून्, तर उहाँका आज्ञाहरू पालन गरून् ।
8 And they are not like their fathers, A generation apostatizing and being rebellious, A generation—it has not prepared its heart, Nor [is] its spirit 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 Sons of Ephraim—armed bearers of bow, Have turned in a day of conflict.
एफ्राइमीहरू धनुले सुसज्जित थिए, तर तिनीहरू युद्धको दिनमा पछि फर्के ।
10 They have not kept the covenant of God, And they have refused to walk in His law,
तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरसँगको करार पालन गरेनन् र तिनीहरूले उहाँको व्यवस्था पालन गर्न इन्कार गरे ।
11 And they forget His doings, And His wonders that He showed them.
तिनीहरूले उहाँका कामहरू, उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई प्रकट गर्नुभएको अचम्मका कुराहरूलाई बिर्से ।
12 He has done wonders before their fathers, In the land of Egypt—the field of Zoan.
मिश्र देशमा, सोअनको देशमा तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूका दृष्टिमा उहाँले गर्नुभएको चमत्कारिक कुराहरूलाई तिनीहरूले बिर्से ।
13 He cleft a sea, and causes them to pass over, Indeed, He causes waters to stand as a heap.
उहाँले समुद्रलाई दुई भाग पार्नुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई त्यसको पारिपट्टि लानुभयो । उहाँले पानीलाई पर्खालहरूझैं खडा गर्नुभयो ।
14 And leads them with a cloud by day, And with a light of fire all the night.
दिनको समयमा बादलले र रातभरि आगोको प्रकाशले उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई डोर्याउनुभयो ।
15 He cleaves rocks in a wilderness, And gives drink—as the great deep.
उहाँले उजाडस्थानको चट्टा चिर्नुभयो र समुद्रको गहिराइ भर्न प्रशस्त हुने पानी उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभयो ।
16 And brings out streams from a rock, And causes waters to come down as rivers.
चट्टानबाट उहाँले खोलाहरू बगाउनुभयो र पानीलाई नदीहरूझैं बगाउनुभयो ।
17 And they still add to sin against Him, To provoke the Most High in the dry place.
तापनि तिनीहरूले उजाड-स्थानमा सर्वोच्चको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गरेर उहाँको विरुद्धमा पाप गरिरहे ।
18 And they try God in their heart, To ask food for their lust.
आफ्नो भोक मेटाउनलाई खाना मागेर आफ्ना हृदयहरूले तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरलाई चुनौति दिए ।
19 And they speak against God—they said: “Is God able to array a table in a wilderness?”
तिनीहरू परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा बोले । तिनीहरूले भने, “परमेश्वरले हामीलाई उजाड-स्थानमा साँच्चै नै खाना खुवाउन सक्नुहुन्छ र?
20 Behold, He has struck a rock, And waters flow, indeed, streams overflow. “Also, [is] He able to give bread? Does He prepare 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 YHWH has heard, And He shows Himself angry, And fire has been kindled against Jacob, And anger has also gone up against Israel,
जब परमप्रभुले यो सुन्नुभयो, तब उहाँ रिसाउनुभयो । त्यसैले उहाँको आगो याकूबको विरुद्ध दन्क्यो र उहाँको रिसले इस्राएललाई आक्रमण गर्यो,
22 For they have not believed in God, Nor have they trusted in His salvation.
किनभने तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरमा विश्वास गरेनन् र उहाँको उद्धारमा भरोसा गरेनन् ।
23 And He commands clouds from above, Indeed, He has opened doors of the heavens.
तापनि उहाँले माथिका आकाशलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभयो र आकाशका ढोकाहरू खोल्नुभयो ।
24 And He rains manna on them to eat, Indeed, He has given grain of the heavens to them.
तिनीहरूलाई खानलाई उहाँले मन्न बर्साउनुभयो, र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई स्वर्गको अन्न दिनुभयो ।
25 Each has eaten food of the mighty, He sent provision to them to satiety.
मानिसहरूले स्वर्गदूतहरूका रोटी खाए । तिनीहरूलाई उहाँले प्रशस्त गरी खाना पठाउनुभयो ।
26 He causes an east wind to journey in the heavens, And leads a south wind by His strength,
उहाँले आकाशमा पूर्वी बतास चलाउनुभयो र दक्षिणी बतासलाई आफ्नो शक्तिले उहाँले डोर्याउनुभयो ।
27 And He rains on them flesh as dust, And as sand of the seas—winged bird,
धूलोझैं उहाँले तिनीहरूमाथि मासु, समुद्रको बालुवाझैं चराहरू बर्साउनुभयो ।
28 And causes [it] to fall in the midst of His camp, Around His dwelling places.
तिनीहरूका शिविरको बिचमा, तिनीहरूका पालहरूको चारैतिर ती झरे ।
29 And they eat, and are greatly satisfied, And He brings their desire to them.
त्यसैले तिनीहरूले खाए र अघाए । तिनीहरूले जे लालसा गरे सो उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभयो ।
30 They have not been estranged from their desire, Their food [is] yet in their mouth,
तर तिनीहरू अझै अघाएका थिएनन् । तिनीहरूको खाना अझै तिनीहरूको मुखमै थियो ।
31 And the anger of God has gone up against them, And He slays among their fat ones, And He caused youths of Israel to bend.
तब परमेश्वरको क्रोध तिनीहरूमाथि पर्यो र तिमध्येका बलियाहरूलाई मार्यो । उहाँले इस्राएलका जवानहरूलाई तल झार्नुभयो ।
32 With all this they have sinned again, And have not believed in His wonders.
यति हुँदा पनि, तिनीहरूले निरन्तर पाप गरे र उहाँका अचम्मका कामहरूमा विश्वास गरेनन् ।
33 And He consumes their days in vanity, And their years in trouble.
यसकारण परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूका दिनहरू घटाउनुभयो । तिनीहरूका वर्षहरू त्रासले भरिएका थिए ।
34 If He slew them, then they sought Him, And turned back, and earnestly sought God,
जब परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूमाथि विपत्ति ल्याउनुभयो, तब तिनीहरूले उहाँको खोजी गर्न थाले, अनि तिनीहरू फर्के र उहाँलाई उत्सुकतासाथ खोजे ।
35 And they remember that God [is] their rock, And God Most High their redeemer.
परमेश्वर तिनीहरूका चट्टान हुनुहुन्थ्यो र सर्वोच्च तिनीहरूका उद्धारकर्ता हुनुहुन्थ्यो भनी तिनीहरूले सम्झे ।
36 And they deceive Him with their mouth, And lie to Him with their tongue,
तर तिनीहरूले आफ्ना मुखले उहाँसँग चापलुसी गरे र तिनीहरूका शब्दहरूले उहाँसँग झुट बोले ।
37 And their heart has not been right with Him, And they have not been steadfast in His covenant.
किनकि तिनीहरूका हृदयहरू उहाँमा स्थिर थिएनन् र तिनीहरू उहाँको करारप्रति विश्वासयोग्य थिएनन् ।
38 And He, the Merciful One, pardons iniquity, and does not destroy, And has often turned back His anger, And does not awaken 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 And He remembers that they [are] flesh, A wind going on—and it does not return.
तिनीहरू मासुले बनेका हुन्, तिनीहरू बितिजाने र फर्केर नआउने बतास हुन् भनी उहाँले याद गर्नुभयो ।
40 How often do they provoke Him in the wilderness, Grieve Him in the desolate place?
उजाड-स्थानमा र बाँझो ठाउँहरूमा तिनीहरूले कति धेरै पल्ट उहाँको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गरेर उहाँलाई दुःखी बनाए!
41 Indeed, they turn back, and try God, And have limited the Holy One of Israel.
तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरलाई धेरै पल्ट चुनौति दिए र इस्राएलका परम पवित्रलाई चित्त दुखाए ।
42 They have not remembered His hand The day He ransomed them from the adversary.
तिनीहरूले उहाँको शक्तिको बारेमा विचार गरेनन्, उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई शत्रुहरूबाट कसरी छुटकारा दिनुभएको थियो,
43 When 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 He turns their streams to blood, And they do not drink their floods.
उहाँले मिश्रदेशका नदीहरूलाई रगतमा परिणत गर्नुभयो, ताकि तिनीहरूले आफ्ना नदीहरूका पानी पिउन सकेनन् ।
45 He sends among them the beetle, and it consumes them, And the frog, and it destroys them,
उहाँले झींगाका हुल पठाउनुभयो, जसले तिनीहरूलाई टोके र भ्यागुताहरूले तिनीहरूका देशलाई अतिक्रमण गर्यो ।
46 And gives their increase to the caterpillar, And their labor to the locust.
तिनीहरूका अन्न फट्याङ्ग्रहरूलाई र तिनीहरूका परिश्रम सलहहरूलाई उहाँले दिनुभयो ।
47 He destroys their vine with hail, And their sycamores with frost,
तिनीहरूका दाखहरूलाई असिनाले र तिनीहरूका अञ्जीरका रूखहरूलाई धेरै असिनाले उहाँले नाश पार्नुभयो ।
48 And delivers their beasts up to the hail, And their livestock to the burning flames.
तिनीहरूका बथानमाथि उहाँले असिना बर्साउनुभयो र तिनीहरूका बगालमाथि बिजुली फाल्नुभयो ।
49 He sends on them the fury of His anger, Wrath, and indignation, and distress—A discharge of evil messengers.
उहाँको रिसको उग्रता तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा पर्यो । उहाँले क्रोध, रिस र समस्यालाई विपत्ति ल्याउने एजेन्टझैं पठाउनुभयो ।
50 He ponders a path for His anger, He did not keep back their soul from death, Indeed, He delivered up their life to the pestilence.
आफ्नो रिसको निम्ति उहाँले मार्ग तयार गर्नुभयो । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई मृत्युबाट बचाउनुभएन तर तिनीहरूलाई रूढीमा सुम्पिनुभयो ।
51 And He strikes every firstborn in Egypt, The first-fruit of the strong in tents of Ham.
मिश्रदेशका सबै जेठाहरूलाई, हामका पालहरूमा भएका तिनीहरूका जेठाहरूलाई उहाँले मार्नुभयो ।
52 And causes His people to journey as a flock, And guides them as a drove in a wilderness,
आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई उहाँले भेडालाई झैं डोर्याउनुभयो र बगाललाई झैं तिनीहरूलाई उजाडस्थानमा बाटो देखाउनुभयो ।
53 And He leads them confidently, And they have not been afraid, And the sea has covered their enemies.
सुरक्षित र निर्भयसाथ उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई डोर्याउनुभयो, तर समुद्रले तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूलाई डुबायो ।
54 And He brings them to the border of His sanctuary, This mountain His right hand had acquired,
त्यसपछि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नो पवित्र देशको सिमानामा, उहाँको दहिने हातले प्राप्त गरेको यो पर्वतमा ल्याउनुभयो ।
55 And casts out nations from before them, And causes them to fall in the line of inheritance, And causes 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 And they tempt and provoke God Most High, And have not kept His testimonies.
तापनि तिनीहरूले सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरलाई चुनौति दिए र अवज्ञा गरे, अनि उहाँका गम्भीर आज्ञाहरू पालन गरेनन् ।
57 And they turn back, And deal treacherously like their fathers, They have been turned like a deceitful bow,
तिनीहरू अविश्वासयोग्य भए र आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूले झैं धोकापूर्ण काम गरे । तिनीहरू खोटपूर्ण धनुजस्तै भरोसाहीन थिए ।
58 And make Him angry with their high places, And make Him zealous with their carved images,
किनकि तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई आफ्ना अग्ला डाँडाहरूले क्रुद्ध बनाए र आफ्ना मूर्तीहरूले उहाँलाई डाहले रसाउने बनाए ।
59 God has heard, and shows Himself angry. And kicks exceedingly against Israel.
जब परमेश्वरले यो सुन्नुभयो, तब उहाँ रिसाउनुभयो र इस्राएललाई पूर्ण रूपमा इन्कार गर्नुभयो ।
60 And He leaves the Dwelling Place of Shiloh, The tent He had placed among men,
शीलोको पवित्रस्थान, उहाँ मानिसहरूका बिचमा बास गर्नुभएको पाललाई उहाँले त्याग्नुभयो ।
61 And He gives His strength to captivity, And His beauty into the hand of an adversary,
उहाँले आफ्नो सामर्थ्यलाई कसैको कब्जामा सुम्पिदिनुभयो र आफ्नो महिमालाई शत्रुहरूका हातमा सुम्पिनुभयो ।
62 And delivers His people up to the sword, And showed Himself angry with His inheritance.
उहाँले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई तरवारमा सुम्पिनुभयो र उहाँ आफ्ना उत्तराधिकारसँग रिसाउनुभयो ।
63 Fire has consumed His young men, And His virgins have not been praised.
आगोले तिनीहरूका जवान मानिसहरूलाई भष्म पारे, र तिनीहरूका जवान स्त्रीहरूसँग विवाहको गीत थिएन ।
64 His priests have fallen by the sword, And their widows do not weep.
तिनीहरूका पुजारीहरू तरवारले ढले र तिनीहरूका विधवाहरू रुन सकेनन् ।
65 And the Lord wakes as a sleeper, As a mighty one crying aloud from wine.
अनि परमप्रभु निद्राबाट जागेझैं, दाखमद्यको कारणले कराउने योद्धाजस्तै उठ्नुभयो ।
66 And He strikes His adversaries backward, He has put a continuous reproach on them,
उहाँले आफ्ना वैरीहरूलाई पछि फर्काउनुभयो । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई अनन्त लाजमा पार्नुभयो ।
67 And He kicks against the tent of Joseph, And has not fixed on the tribe of Ephraim.
उहाँले योसेफको पाललाई इन्कार गर्नुभयो र उहाँले एफ्राइमको कुललाई चुन्नुभएन ।
68 And He chooses the tribe of Judah, With Mount Zion that He loved,
उहाँले यहूदाको कुल र उहाँले प्रेम गर्नुभएको सियोन पर्वतलाई चुन्नुभयो ।
69 And builds His sanctuary as a high place, Like the earth, He founded it for all time.
उहाँले आफ्नो पवित्रस्थानलाई स्वर्गझैं, उहाँले सदाको निम्ति स्थापना गर्नुभएको पृथ्वीझैं बनाउनुभयो ।
70 And He fixes on His servant David, And takes him from the folds of a flock,
उहाँले आफ्नो दास दाऊदलाई चुन्नुभयो र तिनलाई भेडाका बगालहरूबाट ल्याउनुभयो ।
71 He has brought him in from behind suckling ones, To rule over Jacob His people, And over 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 rules them according to the integrity of his heart, And leads them by the skillfulness of his hands!
आफ्नो हृदयको इमानदारीताले दाऊदले उनीहरूको रेखदेख गरे र आफ्नो हातको सीपले तिनले उनीहरूलाई बाटो देखाए ।
