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 speaketh to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah hath delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul,
and he saith: 'Jehovah [is] my rock, And my bulwark, and a deliverer to me,
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 — I take refuge in Him; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge! My Saviour, from violence Thou savest me!
The Praised One, I call Jehovah: And from mine enemies I am saved.
When the breakers of death compassed me, The streams of the worthless terrify me,
The cords of Sheol have surrounded me, Before me have been the snares of death. (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 mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I call, And He heareth from His temple my voice, And my cry [is] in 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।
And shake and tremble doth the earth, Foundations of the heavens are troubled, And are shaken, for He hath wrath!
Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils. And fire from His mouth devoureth, Brands have been kindled by it.
And He inclineth heaven, and cometh down, And thick darkness [is] under His feet.
And He rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, And is seen on the wings of the wind.
And He setteth darkness Round about Him — tabernacles, Darkness of waters — thick clouds of the skies.
From the brightness before Him Were brands of fire kindled!
Thunder from the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth forth 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 sendeth forth arrows, And scattereth them; Lightning, and troubleth 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।
And seen are the streams of the sea, Revealed are foundations of the world, By the rebuke of Jehovah, From the breath of the spirit of His anger.
He sendeth from above — He taketh me, He draweth 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 delivereth me from my strong enemy, From those hating me, For they were stronger than I.
They are before me in a day of my calamity, And Jehovah is my support,
And He bringeth me out to a large place, He draweth me out for 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 recompenseth me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me.
For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.
For all His judgments [are] before me, As to His statutes, I turn not from them.
And I am perfect before Him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.
25 २५ इसलिए यहोवा ने मुझे मेरी धार्मिकता के अनुसार बदला दिया, मेरी उस शुद्धता के अनुसार जिसे वह देखता था।
And Jehovah returneth to me, According to my righteousness, According to my cleanness before His eyes.
26 २६ “विश्वासयोग्य के साथ तू अपने को विश्वासयोग्य दिखाता; खरे पुरुष के साथ तू अपने को खरा दिखाता है;
With the kind Thou shewest Thyself kind, With the perfect man Thou shewest Thyself perfect,
With the pure Thou shewest Thyself pure, And with the perverse Thou shewest Thyself a wrestler.
And the poor people Thou dost save, And Thine eyes on the high causest to fall.
For Thou [art] my lamp, O Jehovah, And Jehovah doth lighten my darkness.
For by Thee I run — a troop, By my God I leap a wall.
God! Perfect [is] His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield He [is] to all those trusting in Him.
For who is God save Jehovah? And who a Rock save our God?
God — my bulwark, [my] strength, And He maketh perfect my way;
Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand,
Teaching my hands for battle, And brought down was a bow of brass by mine arms,
And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.
Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden.
38 ३८ मैंने अपने शत्रुओं का पीछा करके उनका सत्यानाश कर दिया, और जब तक उनका अन्त न किया तब तक न लौटा।
I pursue mine enemies and destroy them, And I turn not till they are 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 consume them, and smite them, And they rise not, and fall under my feet.
And Thou girdest me [with] strength for battle, Thou causest my withstanders to bow under me.
And mine enemies — Thou givest to me the neck, Those hating me — and I cut them off.
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 look, and there is no saviour; Unto Jehovah, and He hath not answered 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।
And I beat them as dust of the earth, As mire of the streets I beat them small — I spread them out!
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।
And — Thou dost deliver me From the strivings of my people, Thou placest me for a head of nations; A people I have not known do serve me.
Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me, At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me.
Sons of a stranger fade away, And gird themselves by their close places.
Jehovah liveth, and blessed [is] my Rock, And exalted is my God — The Rock of my salvation.
God — who is giving vengeance to me, And bringing 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 bringing me forth from mine enemies, Yea, above my withstanders Thou raisest me up. From a man of violence Thou deliverest me.
Therefore I confess Thee, O Jehovah, among nations. And to Thy name I sing praise.
51 ५१ वह अपने ठहराए हुए राजा का बड़ा उद्धार करता है, वह अपने अभिषिक्त दाऊद, और उसके वंश पर युगानुयुग करुणा करता रहेगा।”
Magnifying the salvations of His king, And doing loving-kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed — unto the age!'
