स्तोत्रसंहिता 74
1 १ आसाफाचे स्तोत्र हे देवा, तू आम्हास सर्वकाळ का सोडून दिले आहेस? आपल्या कुरणातील कळपांवर तुझा कोपाग्नि का भडकत आहे?
An Instructive Psalm. Asaph’s. Wherefore, O God, hast thou cast off utterly? Shall thine anger smoke against the flock of thine own pasturing?
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 thine own assembly thou didst acquire aforetime, Thou didst redeem the tribe of thine own inheritance, Mount Zion, wherein thou didst take up thy habitation.
Lift up thy steps unto the places utterly unsafe, All the mischief!—the foe in the sanctuary!
Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine appointed meeting, They have set their ensigns as tokens!
One used to be known according as he carried up high—into the thicket of trees—the axes;
But, now, the doors thereof all together, with axes and hammers, they batter down.
7 ७ त्यांनी तुझ्या पवित्रस्थानाला आग लावली; जेथे तू राहतो त्याचे पावित्र्य भ्रष्ट केले, धुळीस मिळविले.
They have cast, into the fire, thy sanctuary, To the ground, have they profaned the habitation of thy 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, Let us suppress 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.
Our own signs, have we not seen, —There is no longer a prophet, —Neither is there with us, one who knoweth—How long!
How long, O God, shall the adversary, reproach? Shall the enemy revile thy Name perpetually?
11 ११ तू आपला हात, आपला उजवा हात का मागे आवरून धरतोस? तू आपला उजवा हात आपल्या अंगरख्यातून काढ आणि त्यांना नष्ट कर?
Wherefore shouldst thou withdraw thy hand—thy right hand? [Bring it] out of the midst of thy bosom! (Selah)
But, God, hath been my king from aforetime, Working Deliverances in the midst of the earth.
Thou, didst cleave asunder, in thy might, the sea, Thou didst break in pieces the heads of the Crocodiles, [till they floated] on the waters;
Thou, didst crush the heads of the Sea-Monster, Thou didst give him to be food, for the people of the deserts;
Thou, didst cleave open fountain and torrent, Thou, didst dry up rivers of steady flow:
Thine, is the day, Yea, thine, the night, Thou, didst establish moon and sun;
Thou, didst set up all the bounds of the earth, As for summer and winter, thou, didst form them!
18 १८ हे परमेश्वरा, वैऱ्याने तुझ्याकडे अपमान भिरकावला आहे; आणि मूर्ख लोकांनी तुझ्या नावाची निंदा केली आहे त्याची आठवण कर
Remember this, An enemy, hath reproached Yahweh, Yea, an impious people, have reviled thy Name.
19 १९ तू आपल्या कबुतराचा जीव वन्यपशूच्या स्वाधीन करू नकोस. आपल्या दडपशाहीचे जिवन सर्वकाळ विसरू नकोस.
Do not deliver up, to a wild beast, the life of thy turtle-dove, The living host of thine oppressed ones, do not forget perpetually.
Have respect to thy covenant, For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.
May the crushed one not again be confounded, As for the oppressed and the needy, let them praise thy Name.
Arise! O God, plead thine own cause, Remember the reproach of thee, from the impious one, all the day:
Do not forget the voice of thine adversaries, The noise of thine assailants, ascending continually.
