2 शमूएल 22
1 १ जिस समय यहोवा ने दाऊद को उसके सब शत्रुओं और शाऊल के हाथ से बचाया था, उस समय उसने यहोवा के लिये इस गीत के वचन गाए:
And David spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
And he said, Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine.
3 ३ मेरा चट्टानरूपी परमेश्वर है, जिसका मैं शरणागत हूँ, मेरी ढाल, मेरा बचानेवाला सींग, मेरा ऊँचा गढ़, और मेरा शरणस्थान है, हे मेरे उद्धारकर्ता, तू उपद्रव से मेरा उद्धार किया करता है।
God, my rock, in him I will take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior. Thou save me from violence.
I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised. So I shall be saved from my enemies.
For the waves of death encompassed me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
The cords of Sheol were round about me. The snares of death came upon me. (Sheol h7585)
7 ७ अपने संकट में मैंने यहोवा को पुकारा; और अपने परमेश्वर के सम्मुख चिल्लाया। उसने मेरी बात को अपने मन्दिर में से सुन लिया, और मेरी दुहाई उसके कानों में पहुँची।
In my distress I called upon Jehovah. Yea, I called to my God. And he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came into his ears.
8 ८ “तब पृथ्वी हिल गई और डोल उठी; और आकाश की नींवें काँपकर बहुत ही हिल गईं, क्योंकि वह अति क्रोधित हुआ था।
Then the earth shook and trembled, the foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured. Coals were kindled by it.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down, and thick darkness was under his feet.
And he rode upon a cherub, and flew. Yea, he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
And he made darkness pavilions round about him, gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
At the brightness before him coals of fire were kindled.
Jehovah thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice.
15 १५ उसने तीर चला-चलाकर मेरे शत्रुओं को तितर-बितर कर दिया, और बिजली गिरा गिराकर उसको परास्त कर दिया।
And he sent out arrows, and scattered them, lightning, and discomfited them.
16 १६ तब समुद्र की थाह दिखाई देने लगी, और जगत की नेवें खुल गईं, यह तो यहोवा की डाँट से, और उसके नथनों की साँस की झोंक से हुआ।
Then the channels of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare by the rebuke of Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
He sent from on high, he took me. He drew me out of many waters.
18 १८ उसने मुझे मेरे बलवन्त शत्रु से, और मेरे बैरियों से, जो मुझसे अधिक सामर्थी थे, मुझे छुड़ा लिया।
He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
They came upon me in the day of my calamity, but Jehovah was my support.
He brought me forth also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21 २१ “यहोवा ने मुझसे मेरी धार्मिकता के अनुसार व्यवहार किया; मेरे कामों की शुद्धता के अनुसार उसने मुझे बदला दिया।
Jehovah rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.
For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
For all his ordinances were before me. And as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
I was also perfect toward him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.
25 २५ इसलिए यहोवा ने मुझे मेरी धार्मिकता के अनुसार बदला दिया, मेरी उस शुद्धता के अनुसार जिसे वह देखता था।
Therefore Jehovah has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in his eyesight.
26 २६ “विश्वासयोग्य के साथ तू अपने को विश्वासयोग्य दिखाता; खरे पुरुष के साथ तू अपने को खरा दिखाता है;
With the merciful thou will show thyself merciful. With the perfect man thou will show thyself perfect.
With the pure thou will show thyself pure. And with the perverse thou will show thyself contrary.
And the afflicted people thou will save, but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou may bring them down.
For thou are my lamp, O Jehovah. And Jehovah will lighten my darkness.
For by thee I run upon a troop. By my God do I leap over a wall.
As for God, his way is perfect. The word of Jehovah is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
For who is God, except Jehovah? And who is a rock, except our God?
God is my strong fortress, and he guides the perfect in his way.
He makes his feet like hinds' feet, and sets me upon my high places.
He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of brass.
Thou have also given me the shield of thy salvation, and thy gentleness has made me great.
Thou have enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
38 ३८ मैंने अपने शत्रुओं का पीछा करके उनका सत्यानाश कर दिया, और जब तक उनका अन्त न किया तब तक न लौटा।
I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them, neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
39 ३९ मैंने उनका अन्त किया; और उन्हें ऐसा छेद डाला है कि वे उठ नहीं सकते; वरन् वे तो मेरे पाँवों के नीचे गिरे पड़े हैं।
And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, so that they cannot arise. Yea, they are fallen under my feet.
For thou have girded me with strength to the battle. Thou have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
Thou have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
42 ४२ उन्होंने बाट तो जोही, परन्तु कोई बचानेवाला न मिला; उन्होंने यहोवा की भी बाट जोही, परन्तु उसने उनको कोई उत्तर न दिया।
They looked, but there was none to save; even to Jehovah, but he did not answer them.
43 ४३ तब मैंने उनको कूट कूटकर भूमि की धूल के समान कर दिया, मैंने उन्हें सड़कों और गली कूचों की कीचड़ के समान पटककर चारों ओर फैला दिया।
Then I beat them small as the dust of the earth. I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.
44 ४४ “फिर तूने मुझे प्रजा के झगड़ों से छुड़ाकर अन्यजातियों का प्रधान होने के लिये मेरी रक्षा की; जिन लोगों को मैं न जानता था वे भी मेरे अधीन हो जाएँगे।
Thou have also delivered me from the strivings of my people. Thou have kept me to be the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
The foreigners shall submit themselves to me. As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me.
The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their hiding places.
Jehovah lives. And blessed be my rock. And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,
Even the God who executes vengeance for me, and who brings down peoples under me,
49 ४९ और मुझे मेरे शत्रुओं के बीच से निकालता है; हाँ, तू मुझे मेरे विरोधियों से ऊँचा करता है, और उपद्रवी पुरुष से बचाता है।
and who brings me forth from my enemies. Yea, thou lift me up above those who rise up against me. Thou deliver me from the violent man.
Therefore I will give thanks to thee, O Jehovah, among gentiles, and will sing praises to thy name.
51 ५१ वह अपने ठहराए हुए राजा का बड़ा उद्धार करता है, वह अपने अभिषिक्त दाऊद, और उसके वंश पर युगानुयुग करुणा करता रहेगा।”
He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
