स्तोत्रसंहिता 78
Maschil. Of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law; let your ears be bent down to the words of my mouth.
Opening my mouth I will give out a story, even the dark sayings of old times;
Which have come to our hearing and our knowledge, as they were given to us by our fathers.
4 ४ त्या आम्ही त्यांच्या वंशजापासून गुप्त ठेवणार नाही. त्या आम्ही पुढील पिढीला परमेश्वराची स्तुत्य कृत्ये, त्याचे सामर्थ्य आणि त्याने केलेले आश्चर्ये कृत्ये सांगू.
We will not keep them secret from our children; we will make clear to the coming generation the praises of the Lord and his strength, and the great works of wonder which he has done.
5 ५ कारण त्याने याकोबात निर्बंध स्थापले आणि इस्राएलासाठी नियमशास्त्र नेमले. त्याने आमच्या पूर्वजांना आज्ञा दिल्या की, त्यांनी त्या आपल्या मुलांना शिकवाव्या.
He put up a witness in Jacob, and made a law in Israel; which he gave to our fathers so that they might give knowledge of them to their children;
6 ६ त्याने ही आज्ञा यासाठी दिली की, पुढच्या पिढीने म्हणजे जी मुले जन्माला येतील, त्यांनी त्या आज्ञा जाणाव्या, त्या आपल्या स्वतःच्या मुलांना सांगाव्या.
So that the generation to come might have knowledge of them, even the children of the future, who would give word of them to their children;
So that they might put their hope in God, and not let God's works go out of their minds, but keep his laws;
8 ८ तर त्यांनी आपल्या पूर्वजासारखे हट्टी आणि बंडखोर पिढी होऊ नये, त्यांनी आपले अंतःकरण योग्य राखले नाही, आणि जिचा आत्मा देवाला समर्पित व प्रामाणिक नव्हता.
And not be like their fathers, a stiff-necked and uncontrolled generation; a generation whose heart was hard, whose spirit was not true to God.
The children of Ephraim, armed with bows, were turned back on the day of the fight.
They were not ruled by God's word, and they would not go in the way of his law;
They let his works go out of their memory, and the wonders which he had made them see.
12 १२ मिसर देशातल्या सोअन प्रांतात त्यांच्या वडिलांच्या दृष्टीसमोर त्याने आश्चर्यकारक गोष्टी केल्या.
He did great works before the eyes of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zoan.
The sea was cut in two so that they might go through; the waters were massed together on this side and on that.
In the daytime he was guiding them in the cloud, and all through the night with a light of fire.
The rocks of the waste land were broken by his power, and he gave them drink as out of the deep waters.
He made streams come out of the rock; and waters came flowing down like rivers.
And they went on sinning against him even more, turning away from the Most High in the waste land;
Testing God in their hearts, requesting meat for their desire.
They said bitter words against God, saying, Is God able to make ready a table in the waste land?
20 २० पहा, त्याने खडकावर प्रहार केला तेव्हा पाणी उसळून बाहेर पडले, आणि पाण्याचे प्रवाह भरून वाहू लागले. पण भाकरही देऊ शकेल काय? तो आपल्या लोकांसाठी मांसाचा पुरवठा करील काय?”
See, the rock was cut open by his power, so that the water came rushing out, and overflowing streams; is he able to give us bread? is he able to get meat for his people?
21 २१ जेव्हा परमेश्वराने हे ऐकले, तेव्हा तो रागावला; म्हणून याकोबावर त्याचा अग्नि भडकला, आणि त्याच्या रागाने इस्राएलवर हल्ला केला,
So these things came to the Lord's ears, and he was angry; and a fire was lighted against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel;
Because they had no faith in God, and no hope in his salvation.
And he gave orders to the clouds on high, and the doors of heaven were open;
And he sent down manna like rain for their food, and gave them the grain of heaven.
Man took part in the food of strong ones; he sent them meat in full measure.
26 २६ त्याने आकाशात पूर्वेचा वारा वाहविला, आणि त्याच्या सामर्थ्याने त्याने दक्षिणेच्या वाऱ्याला मार्ग दाखवला.
He sent an east wind from heaven, driving on the south wind by his power.
27 २७ त्याने त्यांच्यावर धुळीप्रमाणे मांसाचा आणि समुद्रातील वाळूप्रमाणे असंख्य पक्षांचा वर्षाव केला.
He sent down meat on them like dust, and feathered birds like the sand of the sea,
And he let it come down into their resting-place, round about their tents.
So they had food and were full; for he gave them their desire;
But they were not turned from their desires; and while the food was still in their mouths,
31 ३१ त्याच क्षणाला, देवाच्या कोपाने त्याच्यावर हल्ला केला, आणि त्यांच्यातील बलवानास मारून टाकले. त्याने इस्राएलाच्या तरुणास हाणून पाडले.
The wrath of God came on them, and put to death the fattest of them, and put an end to the young men of Israel.
32 ३२ इतके झाले तरी ते पाप करितच राहीले, आणि त्यांनी त्याच्या आश्चर्यकारक कृत्यांवर विश्वास ठेवला नाही.
For all this they went on sinning even more, and had no faith in his great wonders.
So their days were wasted like a breath, and their years in trouble.
34 ३४ जेव्हा कधी देवाने त्यांना पीडिले, तेव्हा त्यांनी त्याचा शोध घेण्यास सुरवात केली. उत्सुकतेने ते त्याच्याकडे वळले.
When he sent death on them, then they made search for him; turning to him and looking for him with care;
In the memory that God was their Rock, and the Most High God their saviour.
But their lips were false to him, and their tongues were untrue to him;
And their hearts were not right with him, and they did not keep their agreement with him.
38 ३८ परंतु तो दयाळू असल्यामुळे त्यांच्या अपराधांची क्षमा करतो आणि त्याने त्यांचा नाश केला नाही. होय, तो अनेक वेळा आपला राग आवरून धरतो, आणि आपला सर्व राग भडकू देत नाही.
But he, being full of pity, has forgiveness for sin, and does not put an end to man: frequently turning back his wrath, and not being violently angry.
So he kept in mind that they were only flesh; a breath which is quickly gone, and will not come again.
40 ४० त्यांनी किती वेळा रानात त्याच्याविरुध्द बंडखोरी केली, आणि पडिक प्रदेशात त्यांनी त्यास दु: खी केले.
How frequently did they go against him in the waste land, and give him cause for grief in the dry places!
Again they put God to the test, and gave pain to the Holy One of Israel.
They did not keep in mind the work of his hand, or the day when he took them from the power of their haters;
43 ४३ मिसरात जेव्हा त्याने आपली घाबरून सोडणारी चिन्हे आणि सोअनाच्या प्रांतात आपले चमत्कारही दाखविले ते विसरले.
How he had done his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan;
44 ४४ त्याने मिसऱ्यांच्या नद्यांचे रक्तात रुपांतर केले. म्हणून त्याच्या प्रवाहातील पाणी त्यांच्याने पिववेना.
So that their rivers were turned to blood, and they were not able to get drink from their streams.
45 ४५ त्याने चावणाऱ्या माशांचे थवे पाठवले त्यांनी त्यांना खाऊन टाकले, आणि बेडकांनी त्यांचा देश आच्छादला.
He sent different sorts of flies among them, poisoning their flesh; and frogs for their destruction.
He gave the increase of their fields to worms, the fruits of their industry to the locusts.
He sent ice for the destruction of their vines; their trees were damaged by the bitter cold.
Ice was rained down on their cattle; thunderstorms sent destruction among the flocks.
49 ४९ त्यांने आपल्या भयंकर रागाने त्यांच्याविरुद्ध तडाखे दिले. त्याने अरिष्ट आणणाऱ्या प्रतिनीधीप्रमाणे आपला क्रोध, प्रकोप आणि संकट पाठवले.
He sent on them the heat of his wrath, his bitter disgust, letting loose evil angels among them.
50 ५० त्याने आपल्या रागासाठी मार्ग सपाट केला; त्याने त्यांना मरणापासून वाचविले नाही पण त्याने त्यांना मरीच्या हवाली केले.
He let his wrath have its way; he did not keep back their soul from death, but gave their life to disease.
51 ५१ त्याने मिसरमध्ये प्रथम जन्मलेले सर्व, हामाच्या तंबूतील त्यांच्या शक्तीचे प्रथम जन्मलेले मारून टाकले.
He gave to destruction all the first sons of Egypt; the first-fruits of their strength in the tents of Ham;
But he took his people out like sheep, guiding them in the waste land like a flock.
53 ५३ त्याने त्यांना सुखरुप आणि न भीता मार्गदर्शन केले, पण समुद्राने त्यांच्या शत्रूंना बुडवून टाकले.
He took them on safely so that they had no fear; but their haters were covered by the sea.
And he was their guide to his holy land, even to the mountain, which his right hand had made his;
55 ५५ त्याने त्यांच्यापुढून राष्ट्रांना हाकलून लावली, आणि त्यांना त्यांची वतने सूत्राने मापून नेमून दिली; आणि त्यांच्या तंबूत इस्राएलाचे वंश वसविले.
Driving out nations before them, marking out the line of their heritage, and giving the people of Israel their tents for a resting-place.
56 ५६ तरी त्यांनी परात्पर देवाला आव्हान दिले आणि त्याच्याविरुध्द बंडखोरी केली, आणि त्यांनी त्याच्या आज्ञा पाळल्या नाहीत.
But they were bitter against the Most High God, testing him, and not keeping his laws;
57 ५७ ते आपल्या पूर्वजाप्रमाणे अविश्वासू होते आणि त्यांनी विश्वासघातकी कृत्ये केली; फसव्या धनुष्याप्रमाणे ते स्वतंत्रपणे वळणारे होते.
Their hearts were turned back and untrue like their fathers; they were turned to one side like a twisted bow.
58 ५८ कारण त्यांनी आपल्या उंच जागा बांधल्या आणि देवाला क्रोधित केले आणि आपल्या कोरीव मूर्तींमुळे त्यास आवेशाने कोपविले.
They made him angry with their high places; moving him to wrath with their images.
When this came to God's ears he was very angry, and gave up Israel completely;
So that he went away from the holy place in Shiloh, the tent which he had put among men;
61 ६१ त्याने आपल्या सामर्थ्याचा कोश बंदिवासात जाण्याची परवानगी दिली, आणि आपले गौरव शत्रूच्या हातात दिले.
And he let his strength be taken prisoner, and gave his glory into the hands of his hater.
He gave his people up to the sword, and was angry with his heritage.
63 ६३ अग्नीने त्यांच्या तरुण मनुष्यास खाऊन टाकले, आणि त्यांच्या तरुण स्रीयांना लग्नगीते लाभली नाहीत.
Their young men were burned in the fire; and their virgins were not praised in the bride-song.
Their priests were put to death by the sword, and their widows made no weeping for them.
65 ६५ मग प्रभू झोपेतून जागा झालेल्या मनुष्यासारखा उठला, द्राक्षरसामुळे आरोळी मारणाऱ्या सैनिकासारखा तो उठला.
Then was the Lord like one awaking from sleep, and like a strong man crying out because of wine.
His haters were turned back by his blows and shamed for ever.
And he put the tent of Joseph on one side, and took not the tribe of Ephraim;
But he took the tribe of Judah for himself, and the mountain of Zion, in which he had pleasure.
And he made his holy place like the high heaven, like the earth which is fixed by him for ever.
He took David to be his servant, taking him from the place of the flocks;
71 ७१ आपले लोक याकोब व आपले वतन इस्राएल यांचे पालन करण्यास त्याने त्यास दुभत्या मेंढ्याच्या मागून काढून आणले.
From looking after the sheep which were giving milk, he took him to give food to Jacob his people, and to Israel his heritage.
72 ७२ दावीदाने आपल्या मनाच्या सरळतेने त्याचे पालन केले, आणि आपल्या हातच्या कौशल्याने त्यास मार्ग दाखविला.
So he gave them food with an upright heart, guiding them by the wisdom of his hands.
