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 sang this song to the LORD on the day the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
He said: “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.
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।
My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation. My stronghold, my refuge, and my Savior, You save me from violence.
I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.
For the waves of death engulfed me; the torrents of chaos overwhelmed me.
The cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted 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 the LORD; I cried out to my God. And from His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for help reached 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 quaked; the foundations of the heavens trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger.
Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals blazed forth.
He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds beneath His feet.
He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind.
He made darkness a canopy around Him, a gathering of water and thick clouds.
From the brightness of His presence coals of fire blazed forth.
The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.
15 १५ उसने तीर चला-चलाकर मेरे शत्रुओं को तितर-बितर कर दिया, और बिजली गिरा गिराकर उसको परास्त कर दिया।
He shot His arrows and scattered the foes; He hurled lightning and routed 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।
The channels of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed at the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.
18 १८ उसने मुझे मेरे बलवन्त शत्रु से, और मेरे बैरियों से, जो मुझसे अधिक सामर्थी थे, मुझे छुड़ा लिया।
He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from foes too mighty for me.
They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the LORD was my support.
He brought me out into the open; He rescued 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।
The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.
For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.
For all His ordinances are before me; I have not disregarded His statutes.
And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity.
25 २५ इसलिए यहोवा ने मुझे मेरी धार्मिकता के अनुसार बदला दिया, मेरी उस शुद्धता के अनुसार जिसे वह देखता था।
So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His sight.
26 २६ “विश्वासयोग्य के साथ तू अपने को विश्वासयोग्य दिखाता; खरे पुरुष के साथ तू अपने को खरा दिखाता है;
To the faithful You show Yourself faithful, to the blameless You show Yourself blameless;
to the pure You show Yourself pure, but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd.
You save an afflicted people, but Your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.
For You, O LORD, are my lamp; the LORD lights up my darkness.
For in You I can charge an army; with my God I can scale a wall.
As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
God is my strong fortress and He makes my way clear.
He makes my feet like those of a deer and stations me upon the heights.
He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
You have given me Your shield of salvation, and Your gentleness exalts me.
You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles do not give way.
38 ३८ मैंने अपने शत्रुओं का पीछा करके उनका सत्यानाश कर दिया, और जब तक उनका अन्त न किया तब तक न लौटा।
I pursued my enemies and destroyed them; I did not turn back until 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।
I devoured and crushed them so they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.
You have armed me with strength for battle; You have subdued my foes beneath me.
You have made my enemies retreat before me; I put an end to those who hated 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 no one to save them— to the LORD, but He did not answer.
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।
I ground them as the dust of the earth; I crushed and trampled them like mud in the streets.
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।
You have delivered me from the strife of my people; You have preserved me as the head of nations; a people I had not known shall serve me.
Foreigners cower before me; when they hear me, they obey me.
Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds.
The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may God, the Rock of my salvation, be exalted—
the God who avenges me and brings down nations beneath 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।
who frees me from my enemies. You exalt me above my foes; You rescue me from violent men.
Therefore I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to Your 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।”
Great salvation He brings to His king. He shows loving devotion to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.”
