स्तोत्रसंहिता 144
1 १ दाविदाचे स्तोत्र परमेश्वर माझा खडक त्यास धन्यवाद असो, जो माझ्या हाताला युद्ध करण्यास; आणि माझ्या बोटास लढाई करण्यास शिक्षण देतो.
I praise Yahweh, who is [like an overhanging] rock [under which I] ([get refuge/am protected])! He trains my hands so that I can use them to fight battles; he trains my fingers so that I can [shoot arrows in a war].
2 २ तो माझा दयानिधी व माझा दुर्ग, माझा उंच बुरुज आणि मला सोडवणारा, माझी ढाल आहे आणि मी त्याचा आश्रय घेतो; तो लोकांस माझ्या सत्तेखाली आणतो.
He is the one who protects me; he is [like] a fortress [DOU] in which I am safe, he protects me [like] [protect soldiers] [MET], and he gives me refuge. He defeats [other] nations and [then] puts them under my power.
3 ३ हे परमेश्वरा, मानव तो काय की तू त्याची ओळख ठेवावी? किंवा मनुष्य तो काय की तू त्याच्याविषयी विचार करावा?
Yahweh, [we] people are [very insignificant/unimportant], so why (are you concerned/do you care about us) [RHQ]? [It is amazing to me that] you pay attention to humans.
[The time that we live is as short] as [SIM] a puff of wind; our time to live disappears like a shadow does.
Yahweh, (tear open/open up) the sky and come down! Touch the mountains in order that smoke will pour out from them!
6 ६ विजांचे लखलखाट पाठवून, माझ्या शत्रूला पांगवून टाक; तुझे बाण मारून, त्यांचा पराभव करून त्यांना माघारी पाठव.
Cause lightning to flash with the result that [your enemies] will run away! Shoot your arrows [at them] and cause them to (run away/scatter).
[It is as though my enemies surround me like] a flood; reach your hand down from heaven and rescue me from them [SYN]. They are men from other countries
who [SYN] [always] tell lies. [Even in a courtroom where they swear to tell the truth] they tell lies.
God, I will sing a new song to you, and I will play my ten-stringed harp [while I sing] to you.
You enable kings to defeat [their enemies]; and you rescued me, your servant David, from [being killed by] my enemies’ swords.
11 ११ मला या परक्यांच्या हातातून मुक्त कर व मला वाचव. त्यांचे मुख असत्य बोलते; आणि त्यांचा उजवा हात असत्याचा आहे.
[So I ask you to] save me from [being killed by] the swords [that those] evil [people carry]. Rescue me from the power [MTY] of those foreigners who [SYN] [always] tell lies, and [who raise] their right hands [in courtrooms when they solemnly declare that they will tell the truth].
12 १२ आमची मुले आपल्या तारुण्याच्या भरांत उंच वाढलेल्या रोपांसारखी आहेत. आमच्या मुली राजवाड्याच्या कोपऱ्यातील कोरलेल्या खांबाप्रमाणे आहेत.
I wish/hope that our young sons will grow up to be like strong plants [SIM], and I wish/hope that our daughters will [grow up to] be [straight and tall] like the pillars [SIM] that stand in the corners of palaces.
13 १३ आमची कोठारे प्रत्येक प्रकारच्या वस्तुंनी भरलेली असावीत. आणि आमच्या शेतात आमची मेंढरे सहस्रपट, दशसहस्रपट वाढावीत.
I wish/hope that our barns will be full of many different crops. I wish/hope that the sheep in our fields will give birth to tens of thousands of baby lambs.
I wish/hope that our cows will give birth to many calves without having any miscarriages or deaths when they are born (OR, that no enemies will break through our city walls and take us (into exile/to their own countries)). I wish/hope that [there will not be a time when the people in] our streets cry out in distress [because foreign armies are invading].
15 १५ ज्यांना असे आशीर्वाद आहेत ते लोक आशीर्वादित आहेत; ज्या लोकांचा देव परमेश्वर आहे ते आनंदी आहेत.
If good things like that happen to a nation, the people will be very happy. The people whose God is Yahweh are the ones who will be happy!
