स्तोत्रसंहिता 74
1 १ आसाफाचे स्तोत्र हे देवा, तू आम्हास सर्वकाळ का सोडून दिले आहेस? आपल्या कुरणातील कळपांवर तुझा कोपाग्नि का भडकत आहे?
O God, why have thou cast off forever? Why does thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2 २ तू प्राचीनकाळी जी मंडळी विकत घेतली, जिला तू आपले वारस होण्याकरता खंडणी भरून सोडविले तिचे, व ज्या सीयोन पर्वतावर तू वस्ती केली त्याची आठवण कर.
Remember thy congregation, which thou have gotten of old, which thou have redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance, and mount Zion, at which thou have dwelt.
Lift up thy feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.
Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly. They have set up their ensigns for signs.
They seemed as men who lifted up axes upon a thicket of trees.
And now they break down all the carved work of it with hatchet and hammers.
7 ७ त्यांनी तुझ्या पवित्रस्थानाला आग लावली; जेथे तू राहतो त्याचे पावित्र्य भ्रष्ट केले, धुळीस मिळविले.
They have set thy sanctuary on fire. They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name to the ground.
8 ८ ते आपल्या अंतःकरणात म्हणाले, आपण ह्यांचा नायनाट करून टाकू. त्यांनी देशात असलेली देवाची सर्व सभास्थाने जाळून टाकली आहेत.
They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether. They have burned up all the meeting-places of God in the land.
9 ९ आम्हास देवाकडून कोणतेही चिन्ह मिळाले नाही, कोणी संदेष्टा उरला नाही; असे कोठवर चालेल हे जाणणारा आमच्यामध्ये कोणी नाही.
We do not see our signs. There is no more any prophet, nor is there among us he who knows how long.
How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name forever?
11 ११ तू आपला हात, आपला उजवा हात का मागे आवरून धरतोस? तू आपला उजवा हात आपल्या अंगरख्यातून काढ आणि त्यांना नष्ट कर?
Why do thou draw back thy hand, even thy right hand? Remove it from the midst of thy bosom.
Yet God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
Thou divided the sea by thy strength. Thou break the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
Thou break the heads of leviathan in pieces. Thou gave him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
Thou split fountain and flood. Thou dried up mighty rivers.
The day is thine; the night is also thine. Thou have prepared the light and the sun.
Thou have set all the borders of the earth. Thou have made summer and winter.
18 १८ हे परमेश्वरा, वैऱ्याने तुझ्याकडे अपमान भिरकावला आहे; आणि मूर्ख लोकांनी तुझ्या नावाची निंदा केली आहे त्याची आठवण कर
Remember this, that the enemy has reproached, O Jehovah, and that a foolish people has blasphemed thy name.
19 १९ तू आपल्या कबुतराचा जीव वन्यपशूच्या स्वाधीन करू नकोस. आपल्या दडपशाहीचे जिवन सर्वकाळ विसरू नकोस.
O deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove to the wild beast. Forget not the life of thy poor forever.
Have respect to the covenant, for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.
O let not he who is oppressed return ashamed. Let a poor and needy man praise thy name.
Arise, O God, plead thine own cause. Remember how the foolish man reproaches thee all the day.
Forget not the voice of thine adversaries. The tumult of those who rise up against thee ascends continually.
