< Psalms 18 >
1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, the servant of the LORD, who spoke to 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 will 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 strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, [and] 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 I will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.
म परमप्रभुलाई पुकारा गर्छु जो प्रशंसायोग्य हुनुहुन्छ र म आफ्ना शत्रुहरूबाट बाँच्नेछु ।
4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
मृत्युका डोरीहरूले मलाई बाँधे र व्यर्थका छालहरूले मलाई व्याकुल बनाए ।
5 The sorrows of hell encompassed me: the snares of death seized me. (Sheol )
चिहानका डोरीहरूले मलाई बाँधे । मृत्युको पासोले मलाई समात्यो । (Sheol )
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, [even] into 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 shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
तब पृथ्वी हल्लियो र काम्यो । पहाडहरूका जगहरू पनि कामे र हल्लिए किनभने परमेश्वर रिसाउनुभयो ।
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
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 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 flew; yes, he flew upon the wings of the wind.
उहाँ करूबमा चढ्नुभयो र उड्नुभयो । हावाको पखेटाहरूमा उहाँ सवार हुनुभयो ।
11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion around him [were] dark waters [and] thick clouds of the skies.
अन्धकार र आकाशको बाक्लो बादललाई उहाँले आफ्नो वरिपरिको पाल बनाउनुभयो ।
12 At the brightness [that was] before him his thick clouds passed, hail [stones] and coals of fire.
उहाँको सामु बिजुलीबाट असिना र आगोका भुङ्ग्रोहरू झरे ।
13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail [stones] and coals of fire.
परमप्रभु स्वर्गबाट गर्जनुभयो । सर्वोच्चको आवाजले कराउनुयो ।
14 Yes, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
उहाँले आफ्ना वाणहरू प्रहार गर्नुभयो र आफ्ना शत्रुहरूलाई तितरबितर पार्नुभयो । धेरै चट्याङहरूले तिनीहरूलाई तितरबितर पारे ।
15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered 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 above, 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 my strong enemy, and from them who hated me: for they were too strong for me.
मेरो बलियो शत्रुबाट, मलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूबाट उहाँले मलाई बचाउनुभयो, किनकि तिनीहरू मेरो निम्ति अति बलिया थिए ।
18 They attacked me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
मेरो कष्टको दिनमा तिनीहरू मेरो विरुद्ध आए तर परमप्रभु नै मेरो सहारा हुनुभयो ।
19 He brought me forth also in 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 judgments [were] before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
किनकि उहाँका सबै धार्मिक आदेशहरू मेरो सामु छन् । उहाँको नियमहरूको बारेमा, तिबाट म भड्केको छैन ।
23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from my 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 sight.
यसकारण मेरो धार्मिकताको कारणले परमप्रभुले मलाई पुनर्स्थापना गर्नुभएको छ, किनभने मेरा हातहरू उहाँको आँखाका समु शुद्ध थिए ।
25 With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright;
कुनै पनि विश्वासीलाई तपाईं आफै विश्वासयोग्य प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ । निर्दोष मानिसलाई तपाईं आफै निर्दोष प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ ।
26 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt contend.
कुनै पनि शुद्ध व्यक्तिलाई तपाईं आफै शुद्ध प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ । तर कुनै पनि बाङ्गो व्यक्तिलाई तपाईं आफै चलाख प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ ।
27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
किनकि तपाईंले कष्टमा परेकाहरूलाई बचाउनुहुन्छ तर घमण्डी, अहङ्कारी आँखालाई तपाईंले तल झार्नुहुन्छ ।
28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
तपाईंले मेरो बत्तिलाई प्रकाश दिनुहुन्छ । परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्वरले मेरो अन्धकारलाई उज्यालो पार्नुहुन्छ ।
29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over 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 buckler to all those that trust 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? or who [is] a rock save our God?
किनकि परमप्रभुबाहेक को परमेश्वर छ र? हाम्रा परमेश्वरबाहेक को चट्टान छ र?
32 [It is] God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
कम्मर पेटीझैं परमेश्वरले नै मलाई बल दिनुहुन्छ, जसले निर्दोष व्यक्तिलाई आफ्नो मार्गमा राख्नुहुन्छ ।
33 He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], and setteth me upon my high places.
उहाँले मेरा खुट्टाहरूलाई हरिणको जस्तै तेज बनाउनुहुन्छ र मलाई उच्च ठाउँहरूमा राख्नुहुन्छ ।
34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
युद्धको निम्ति उहाँले मेरा हातहरूलाई तालिम दिनुहुन्छ र मेरा पाखुराहरूले काँसाको धनु झुकाउँछन् ।
35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath held me up and thy gentleness 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, that my feet did not slip.
तपाईंले मेरो तल मेरो खुट्टाहरूलाई ठाउँ फराकिलो पार्नुभएको छ ताकि मेरा खुट्टाहरू चिप्लेका छैनन् ।
37 I have pursued my enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
मैले आफ्ना शत्रुहरूलाई खेदें र तिनीहरूलाई समातें । तिनीहरू नाश नभएसम्म म फर्किनँ ।
38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they have 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 to 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 given me the necks of my enemies; that I might destroy 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 [them]: [even] to 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 I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
हावाको सामु धूलोझैं मैले तिनीहरूलाई चकनाचूर पारें । गल्लीमा हिलोझैं मैले तिनीहरूलाई फालें ।
43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; [and] thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people [whom] I have not known shall 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 shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves to me.
तिनीहरूले मेरा कुरा सुन्ने बित्तिकै, तिनीहरूले मेरा आज्ञा पालन गरे । विदेशीहरू मेरो सामु झुक्न बाध्य भए ।
45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid from their close places.
विदेशीहरू आफ्ना किल्लाहरूबाट थरथर कम्दै बाहिर आए ।
46 The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ । मेरो चट्टानको प्रशंसा होस् । मेरो उद्धारका परमेश्वरलाई उच्च पारियोस् ।
47 [It is] God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
मेरो निम्ति बदला लिनुहुने परमेश्वर उहाँ नै हुनुहुन्छ, जसले जातिहरूलाई मेरो वशमा पार्नुहुन्छ ।
48 He delivereth me from my enemies: yes, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered 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 will I give thanks to thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises to thy name.
यसकारण, हे परमप्रभु, म तपाईंलाई जातिहरूको माझमा धन्यवाद दिनेछु । तपाईंको नाउँमा प्रशंसा म गाउनेछु ।
50 He giveth great deliverance to his king; and showeth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for ever.
परमेश्वरले आफ्नो राजालाई महान् विजय दिनुहुन्छ र उहाँले आफ्नो करारको विश्वस्तता आफ्नो अभिषिक्त जन, दाऊद र तिनका सन्तानहरूलाई सदासर्वदा प्रकट गर्नुहुन्छ ।
