स्तोत्रसंहिता 50
1 १ आसाफाचे स्तोत्र. थोर परमेश्वर देव, बोलला आहे. आणि पृथ्वीला तिच्या उगवतीपासून मावळतीपर्यंत हाक मारली.
God, the all-powerful one, speaks; he summons all people, from the east to the west.
His glory shines from Zion [Hill in Jerusalem], an extremely beautiful city.
3 ३ आमचा देव येईल आणि तो शांत राहणार नाही, त्याच्यासमोर आग नाश करत चालली आहे, आणि त्याच्याभोवती वादळ घोंगावत आहे.
Our God comes to us, and he is not silent. A great fire is in front of him, and a storm is around him.
He comes to judge his people. He shouts to the [angels in] heaven and to [the people on] the earth.
5 ५ देव म्हणतो, “माझ्या भक्तांनो माझ्याभोवती गोळा व्हा. ज्यांनी यज्ञाच्या व्दारे माझ्याशी करार केला आहे.”
He says, “Summon those who faithfully [worship] me, those who made an agreement with me by offering sacrifices to me.”
The [angels in] heaven declare, “God is righteous, and he is the supreme judge.”
God says, “My people, listen! You Israeli people, listen, as I, your God, say what you have done that is wrong.
I am not rebuking you for making sacrifices to me, for the offerings that you completely burn [on the altar].
But I do not really need [you to sacrifice] the bulls from your barns and the goats from your pens,
because all the animals in the forest belong to me, [and all] the cattle on 1,000 hills also belong to me.
I [own and] know all the birds and all [the creatures] that move around in the fields.
[So], if I were hungry, I would not tell you [to bring me some food], because everything in the world belongs to me!
I do not eat the flesh of the bulls [that you sacrifice], and I do not drink the blood of the goats [that you offer to me].
The sacrifice [that I really want is that] you thank me and do all that you have promised to do.
And pray to me when you have troubles. [If you do that], I will rescue you, and [then] you will praise me.
16 १६ देव दुष्ट लोकांस म्हणतो, तुम्ही लोक माझ्या कायद्यांबद्दल बोलण्याचे काय काम आहे? आणि तू माझा करार तुझ्या तोंडाने उच्चरणारा आहेस?
But I say this to the wicked people: (Why do you/It does not benefit you at all to) [RHQ] recite my commandments or talk about the agreement that I made with you,
because you have refused to allow me to discipline you, and you have rejected what I told you to do.
18 १८ तुम्ही चोराला बघता आणि त्याच्याबरोबर सहमत होता. तुम्ही व्यभिचार करणाऱ्या लोकांबरोबर सहभागी होता.
Every time that you see a thief, you become his friend, and you spend [much] time with those who commit adultery.
You are [always] talking [MTY] about doing wicked things, and you are [always] to deceive people.
You are always accusing members of your own family [of doing wrong], and slandering them.
21 २१ तुम्ही वाईट गोष्टी करता आणि तरीही मी गप्प राहिलो. मी तुझ्यासारखा आहे असे तुला वाटले, परंतू मी तुझा निषेध करणार आणि तुझ्या डोळ्यापुढे ओळीने सर्वकाही मांडणार.
You did [all] those things, and I did not say anything to you, [so] you thought that I was [a sinner] just like you. But now I rebuke you and accuse you, right in front of you.
22 २२ तुम्ही लोक देवाला विसरला आहात. मी तुम्हास फाडून टाकण्यापूर्वीच तुम्ही हे सारे लक्षात घ्या जर तसे घडले तर तुम्हास कोणीही वाचवू शकणार नाही.
So, all you who have ignored me, pay attention to this, because if you do not, I will tear you to pieces, and there will be no one to rescue you.
23 २३ जो कोणी उपकारस्तुतीचा यज्ञ अर्पितो, आणि जो कोणी आपला मार्ग सरळ योजितो, त्यास मी देवाचे तारण दाखवेन.
The sacrifice that [truly] honors me is to thank me [for what I have done]; and I will save those who always do the things that I want them to.”
