भजन संहिता 104
1 १ हे मेरे मन, तू यहोवा को धन्य कह! हे मेरे परमेश्वर यहोवा, तू अत्यन्त महान है! तू वैभव और ऐश्वर्य का वस्त्र पहने हुए है,
[I tell] myself that I should praise Yahweh. Yahweh, my God, you are very great! Like a king has on his royal robes [MET], you have honor and majesty/greatness all around you!
You [created/caused] light to be like your robe [MET]. You spread out the sky like [a man sets up] a tent.
3 ३ तू अपनी अटारियों की कड़ियाँ जल में धरता है, और मेघों को अपना रथ बनाता है, और पवन के पंखों पर चलता है,
You made/put your home [in heaven], above the rain clouds in the sky, [like a man puts the] rafters of his house in place [MET]. You made/caused the clouds to be like chariots [to carry you].
You caused the winds to be [like] your messengers [MET], and flames of fire to be [like] your servants.
You placed the world firmly on its foundation so that it can never be moved/shaken.
[Later], you covered the earth with a flood, like a blanket, with the water that covered the mountains.
[But] when you rebuked the water, the oceans receded; your voice spoke like thunder, and then the waters rushed away.
8 ८ वह पहाड़ों पर चढ़ गया, और तराइयों के मार्ग से उस स्थान में उतर गया जिसे तूने उसके लिये तैयार किया था।
Mountains rose up [from the water], and the valleys sank down to the levels that you had determined for them.
[Then] you set a boundary for the oceans, a boundary that they cannot cross; their water will never again cover the [whole] earth.
You make/cause springs to pour [water] into ravines; their [water] flows down between the mountains.
Those [streams] provide water for all the animals [to drink]; the wild donkeys [drink the water and] are no longer thirsty.
Birds make their nests alongside [the streams], and they sing among the branches [of the trees].
From (your home in heaven/the sky) you send rain down on the mountains, and you fill the earth with many good things that you create.
14 १४ तू पशुओं के लिये घास, और मनुष्यों के काम के लिये अन्न आदि उपजाता है, और इस रीति भूमि से वह भोजन-वस्तुएँ उत्पन्न करता है
You make/cause grass to grow for the cattle [to eat], and you make/cause plants to grow for people. In that way [animals and people] get their food from [what grows in] the soil.
15 १५ और दाखमधु जिससे मनुष्य का मन आनन्दित होता है, और तेल जिससे उसका मुख चमकता है, और अन्न जिससे वह सम्भल जाता है।
We get [grapes to make] [MTY] wine to [drink and] make us cheerful, and we get [olives to make] [MTY] olive oil to [put on our] skin and cause it to shine, and we get [grain to make] [MTY] bread to give us strength.
Yahweh, you [send plenty of rain to] water your trees, the cedar [trees] that you planted in Lebanon.
Birds make their nests in those [trees]; even storks make their nests in pine/fir trees.
High up in the mountains the wild goats live, and hyraxes/badgers live in the crags/crevices in the rocks.
[Yahweh], you made the moon to indicate the times for our festivals, and you made the sun that knows when to go down.
You bring darkness, and it becomes night, when all the animals in the forest prowl around, [looking for food].
At night the young lions roar as they seek their prey, [but] they depend on you to give them food.
At dawn, they go back to their dens and lie down.
And during the daytime, people go to their work; they work until it is evening.
24 २४ हे यहोवा, तेरे काम अनगिनत हैं! इन सब वस्तुओं को तूने बुद्धि से बनाया है; पृथ्वी तेरी सम्पत्ति से परिपूर्ण है।
Yahweh, you have made so many different kinds of things! You were [very] wise as you made them all. The earth is full of the creatures that you [made].
25 २५ इसी प्रकार समुद्र बड़ा और बहुत ही चौड़ा है, और उसमें अनगिनत जलचर जीव-जन्तु, क्या छोटे, क्या बड़े भरे पड़े हैं।
[We see] the ocean which is very large [DOU]! It is full of many kinds of living creatures, big ones and little ones.
We see the ships which sail along! We see the huge sea monster, which you made to (splash around/play) in the sea.
All of those creatures depend on you to give them the food that they need.
28 २८ तू उन्हें देता है, वे चुन लेते हैं; तू अपनी मुट्ठी खोलता है और वे उत्तम पदार्थों से तृप्त होते हैं।
When you give them the food that they need, they gather it. You give them what you have in your hand, and they [eat it and] are satisfied.
29 २९ तू मुख फेर लेता है, और वे घबरा जाते हैं; तू उनकी साँस ले लेता है, और उनके प्राण छूट जाते हैं और मिट्टी में फिर मिल जाते हैं।
[But] if you refuse to give food to them, they become terrified. And when you cause them to stop breathing, they die; their bodies [decay and] become soil again.
When you cause newborn creatures to begin to breathe, they start to live; you give new life to all the living creatures on the earth.
I want the glory of Yahweh to last forever. I want him to rejoice about [all] the things that he has created.
He causes the earth to shake [just] by looking at it! By [merely] touching the mountains he makes/causes them to pour out fire and smoke!
33 ३३ मैं जीवन भर यहोवा का गीत गाता रहूँगा; जब तक मैं बना रहूँगा तब तक अपने परमेश्वर का भजन गाता रहूँगा।
I will sing to Yahweh (as long as I live/throughout my entire life). I will praise my God until the day that I die.
I want Yahweh to be pleased by all those things that I have thought [about him], because I rejoice about [knowing] him.
35 ३५ पापी लोग पृथ्वी पर से मिट जाएँ, और दुष्ट लोग आगे को न रहें! हे मेरे मन यहोवा को धन्य कह! यहोवा की स्तुति करो!
[But] I desire that sinners will disappear from the earth, so that there will be no more wicked [people]! [But as for] me, I will praise Yahweh! (Praise him/Hallelujah)!
