स्तोत्रसंहिता 74
1 १ आसाफाचे स्तोत्र हे देवा, तू आम्हास सर्वकाळ का सोडून दिले आहेस? आपल्या कुरणातील कळपांवर तुझा कोपाग्नि का भडकत आहे?
A Maskil of Asaph. Why have You rejected us forever, O God? Why does Your anger smolder against the sheep of Your 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 Your congregation, which You purchased long ago and redeemed as the tribe of Your inheritance— Mount Zion where You dwell.
Turn Your steps to the everlasting ruins, to everything in the sanctuary the enemy has destroyed.
Your foes have roared within Your meeting place; they have unfurled their banners as signs,
like men wielding axes in a thicket of trees
and smashing all the carvings with hatchets and picks.
7 ७ त्यांनी तुझ्या पवित्रस्थानाला आग लावली; जेथे तू राहतो त्याचे पावित्र्य भ्रष्ट केले, धुळीस मिळविले.
They have burned Your sanctuary to the ground; they have defiled the dwelling place of Your Name.
8 ८ ते आपल्या अंतःकरणात म्हणाले, आपण ह्यांचा नायनाट करून टाकू. त्यांनी देशात असलेली देवाची सर्व सभास्थाने जाळून टाकली आहेत.
They said in their hearts, “We will crush them completely.” They burned down every place where God met us in the land.
9 ९ आम्हास देवाकडून कोणतेही चिन्ह मिळाले नाही, कोणी संदेष्टा उरला नाही; असे कोठवर चालेल हे जाणणारा आमच्यामध्ये कोणी नाही.
There are no signs for us to see. There is no longer any prophet. And none of us knows how long this will last.
How long, O God, will the enemy taunt You? Will the foe revile Your 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 You withdraw Your strong right hand? Stretch it out to destroy them!
Yet God is my King from ancient times, working salvation on the earth.
You divided the sea by Your strength; You smashed the heads of the dragons of the sea;
You crushed the heads of Leviathan; You fed him to the creatures of the desert.
You broke open the fountain and the flood; You dried up the ever-flowing rivers.
The day is Yours, and also the night; You established the moon and the sun.
You set all the boundaries of the earth; You made the summer and winter.
18 १८ हे परमेश्वरा, वैऱ्याने तुझ्याकडे अपमान भिरकावला आहे; आणि मूर्ख लोकांनी तुझ्या नावाची निंदा केली आहे त्याची आठवण कर
Remember how the enemy has mocked You, O LORD, how a foolish people has spurned Your name.
19 १९ तू आपल्या कबुतराचा जीव वन्यपशूच्या स्वाधीन करू नकोस. आपल्या दडपशाहीचे जिवन सर्वकाळ विसरू नकोस.
Do not deliver the soul of Your dove to beasts; do not forget the lives of Your afflicted forever.
Consider Your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land.
Do not let the oppressed retreat in shame; may the poor and needy praise Your name.
Rise up, O God; defend Your cause! Remember how the fool mocks You all day long.
Do not disregard the clamor of Your adversaries, the uproar of Your enemies that ascends continually.
