स्तोत्रसंहिता 74
1 १ आसाफाचे स्तोत्र हे देवा, तू आम्हास सर्वकाळ का सोडून दिले आहेस? आपल्या कुरणातील कळपांवर तुझा कोपाग्नि का भडकत आहे?
[A contemplation by Asaph.] God, why have you rejected us forever? 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 of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance; Mount Zion, in which you have lived.
Lift up your feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.
Your adversaries have roared in the midst of your assembly. They have set up their standards as signs.
They behaved like men wielding axes, cutting through a thicket of trees.
Now they break all its carved work down with hatchet and hammers.
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 profaned 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 heart, "We will crush them completely." They have burned up all the places in the land where God was worshiped.
9 ९ आम्हास देवाकडून कोणतेही चिन्ह मिळाले नाही, कोणी संदेष्टा उरला नाही; असे कोठवर चालेल हे जाणणारा आमच्यामध्ये कोणी नाही.
We see no miraculous signs. There is no longer any prophet, neither is there among us anyone who knows how long.
How long, God, shall the enemy mock? Shall the enemy blaspheme 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 draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it out of your pocket and consume them.
Yet God is my King from long ago, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
You divided the sea by your strength. You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.
You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces. You gave him as food to people and desert creatures.
You opened up spring and stream. You dried up mighty rivers.
The day is yours, the night is also yours. You have prepared the light and the sun.
You have set all the boundaries of the earth. You 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 mocked you, LORD. Foolish people have blasphemed 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 wild beasts. Do not forget the life of your poor forever.
Honor your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the earth.
Do not let the oppressed return ashamed. Let the poor and needy praise your name.
Arise, God. Plead your own cause. Remember how the foolish man mocks you all day.
Do not forget the voice of your adversaries. The tumult of those who rise up against you ascends continually.
