4 ते रानात वैराण प्रदेशातील रस्त्याने भटकले; आणि त्यांना राहण्यास नगर सापडले नाही.

Some of them were in very dark [HEN] (places [in Babylonia/other countries]); they were prisoners, suffering because of chains [fastened to their hands and feet].
11 ११ त्यांनी देवाच्या वचनाविरुध्द बंड केले, आणि त्यांनी परात्पराचे शिक्षण नापसंत केले.
They were in prison because they had (rebelled against/not obeyed) the message of God; they were there because they had despised the advice given by God, who is greater than all other gods.
12 १२ त्यांने त्यांचे हृदय कष्टाद्वारे नम्र केले; ते अडखळून पडले आणि त्यांना मदत करायला तेथे कोणीही नव्हता.
[That is why] their bodies were worn out from hard labor; when they fell down, there was no one who would help them.

24 २४ ते परमेश्वराची कृत्ये पाहतात, आणि त्याची अद्भुत कृत्ये समुद्रावर पाहतात.
[As they were sailing], they also saw the miracles that Yahweh performed, the wonderful things that he did [when they were] on very deep seas.
25 २५ कारण तो आज्ञा करतो आणि वादळ उठवितो; तेव्हा समुद्र खवळतो.
He commanded the winds, and they became strong and (stirred up high waves/caused waves to rise high).
26 २६ लाटा आकाशापर्यंत वर पोहचतात, मग त्या खाली खोल तळाकडे जातात. मनुष्याचे धैर्य धोक्यामुळे गळून जाते.
The ships [in which they were sailing] were tossed high in the air, and [then] they sank into the (troughs/low places) [between the high waves]; then the sailors were terrified.

They [also] should praise/thank Yahweh for faithfully loving [them], and for [all] the wonderful things that he does for people.
32 ३२ लोकांच्या मंडळीत तो उंचविला जावो आणि वडिलांच्या सभेत त्याची स्तुती होवो.
They should praise him among the [Israeli] people when they have gathered together, and they should praise him in front of the leaders [of the country].
33 ३३ तो नद्यांना रान करतो, पाण्याच्या झऱ्यांची कोरडी भूमी करतो,
[Sometimes] Yahweh causes rivers [to become dry], [with the result that the land] becomes a desert, and springs of water become dry land.
34 ३४ आणि फलदायी जमिनीची नापीक जमिन करतो. कारण तेथील राहणाऱ्या वाईट लोकांमुळे.
[Sometimes] he causes land that has produced lots of crops to become salty wastelands, [with the result that they do not produce crops]. He does that because the people who live there are [very] wicked.
35 ३५ तो वाळवंटाचे पाण्याचे तळे करतो, आणि कोरडी भूमीतून पाण्याचे झरे करतो.

They plant seeds in their fields, and they plant grapevines that produce big crops [of grapes].
38 ३८ तो त्यास आशीर्वाद देतो आणि त्यांची खूप वाढ होते, तो त्यांच्या गुरांना कमी होऊ देत नाही.
He blesses the people, and the women give birth to many children, and they have large herds of cattle.
39 ३९ नंतर यातनामयी अरिष्ट आणि दुःख यांमुळे ते कमी होतात आणि नष्ट होतात.
When the number of people becomes smaller and they have been humiliated [by their enemies] by being oppressed and caused to suffer [DOU],
40 ४० तो शत्रूंच्या अधिपतीवर अपमान ओततो, आणि त्यांना रस्ते नसलेल्या रानातून भटकायला लावतो.
Yahweh shows contempt for the leaders who oppress them, and causes them to wander in deserts where there are no roads.
41 ४१ पण तो गरजवंताना क्लेशापासून सुरक्षित ठेवतो, आणि त्यांच्या कुटुंबांची कळपासारखी काळजी घेतो.
But he rescues poor [people] from (being in misery/suffering), and causes their families [to increase in number] like flocks of sheep.
42 ४२ सरळ मनाचे हे पाहतात आणि आनंदी होतात, आणि सर्व दुष्ट आपले तोंड बंद करतात.
Godly/Righteous [people will (see/hear about)] these things, and they will rejoice, and wicked people [will hear about these things, too], [but] they will have nothing to say in reply.
43 ४३ जो कोणी ज्ञानी आहे त्याने ह्या गोष्टींकडे लक्ष द्यावे आणि परमेश्वराच्या कराराच्या विश्वसनीयतेच्या कृतीवर मनन करावे.
Those who are wise should think carefully about those things; they should consider [all the things] that Yahweh [has done to show that he] faithfully loves [them].
