स्तोत्रसंहिता 48
1 १ कोरहाच्या पुत्राचे स्तोत्रगीत. आमच्या देवाच्या नगरात, त्याच्या पवित्र पर्वतावर, परमेश्वर थोर आणि परमस्तुत्य आहे.
“A psalm of the sons of Korah.” Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, upon his holy mountain.
2 २ सियोन डोंगर, जो थोर राजाची नगरी आहे, पृथ्वीच्या बाजूस आहे, त्याचे सौंदर्य उच्चतेवर, सर्व पृथ्वीवर आनंद आणते.
Beautiful in its elevation is Mount Zion, The joy of the whole earth; The joy of the farthest North is the city of the great king;
In her palaces God is known as a refuge.
For, lo! kings were assembled against it; They passed away together.
As soon as they saw, they were astonished; They were confounded, and hasted away.
6 ६ भयाने त्यांना गाठले, भीतीने त्यांचा थरकाप झाला. प्रसवणाऱ्या स्रीच्या वेदनांप्रमाणे त्यांना वेदना लागल्या.
There terror seized upon them, —Pain, as of a woman in travail;
As when the east wind breaketh in pieces The ships of Tarshish.
8 ८ होय, आम्ही ती गोष्ट ऐकली पण आम्ही ते सर्वशक्तिमान परमेश्वराच्या नगरात, आमच्या देवाच्या नगरात घडत असलेले पाहिले. देव ते शहर सदैव सामर्थ्यवान बनवतो.
As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish it for ever. (Pause)
We think of thy loving-kindness, O God! In the midst of thy temple!
As thy name, O God! so thy praise, extendeth to the ends of the earth; Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
Mount Zion rejoiceth, The daughters of Judah exult, On account of thy righteous judgments.
Go round about Zion; number her towers;
13 १३ उंच भिंती बघा, सियोनेच्या राजवाड्याचे वर्णन करा. नंतर तुम्ही पुढच्या पिढीला त्याबद्दल सांगू शकाल.
Mark well her bulwarks; count her palaces; That ye may tell it to the next generation!
For this God is our God for ever and ever; He will be our guide unto death.
