स्तोत्रसंहिता 74
1 १ आसाफाचे स्तोत्र हे देवा, तू आम्हास सर्वकाळ का सोडून दिले आहेस? आपल्या कुरणातील कळपांवर तुझा कोपाग्नि का भडकत आहे?
[A Psalm] of instruction for Asaph. Therefore have you rejected [us], O God, for ever? [therefore] is your wrath kindled 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 have purchased from the beginning; you did ransom the rod of your inheritance; this mount Sion wherein you have lived.
Lift up your hands against their pride continually; [because of] all that the enemy has done wickedly in your holy places.
And they that hate you have boasted in the midst of your feast; they have set up their standards for signs,
ignorantly as it were in the entrance above;
they cut down its doors at once with axes as in a wood of trees; they have broken it down with hatchet and stone cutter.
7 ७ त्यांनी तुझ्या पवित्रस्थानाला आग लावली; जेथे तू राहतो त्याचे पावित्र्य भ्रष्ट केले, धुळीस मिळविले.
They have burnt your sanctuary with fire to the ground; they have profaned the habitation of your name.
8 ८ ते आपल्या अंतःकरणात म्हणाले, आपण ह्यांचा नायनाट करून टाकू. त्यांनी देशात असलेली देवाची सर्व सभास्थाने जाळून टाकली आहेत.
They have said in their heart, [even] all their kindred together, Come, let us abolish the feasts of the Lord from the earth.
9 ९ आम्हास देवाकडून कोणतेही चिन्ह मिळाले नाही, कोणी संदेष्टा उरला नाही; असे कोठवर चालेल हे जाणणारा आमच्यामध्ये कोणी नाही.
We have not seen our signs; there is no longer a prophet; and [God] will not know us any more.
How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach? shall the enemy provoke 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?
Therefore turn you away your hand, and your right hand from the midst of your bosom for ever?
But God is our King of old; he has wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.
You did establish the sea, in your might, you did break to pieces the heads of the dragons in the water.
You did break to pieces the heads of the dragon; you did give him [for] meat to the Ethiopian nations.
You did cleave fountains and torrents; you dried up mighty rivers.
The day is your, and the night is your; you have prepared the sun and the moon.
You have made all the borders of the earth; you have made summer and spring.
18 १८ हे परमेश्वरा, वैऱ्याने तुझ्याकडे अपमान भिरकावला आहे; आणि मूर्ख लोकांनी तुझ्या नावाची निंदा केली आहे त्याची आठवण कर
Remember this your creation: an enemy has reproached the Lord, and a foolish people has provoked your name.
19 १९ तू आपल्या कबुतराचा जीव वन्यपशूच्या स्वाधीन करू नकोस. आपल्या दडपशाहीचे जिवन सर्वकाळ विसरू नकोस.
Deliver not to the wild beasts a soul that gives praise to you: forget not for ever the souls of your poor.
Look upon your covenant: for the dark [places] of the earth are filled with the habitations of iniquity.
let not the afflicted and shamed one be rejected: the poor and needy shall praise your name.
Arise, O God, plead your cause: remember your reproaches that come from the foolish one all the day.
Forget not the voice of your suppliants: let the pride of them that hate you continually ascend before you.
